บท 51: To be your husband

Jia Li turned her attention towards Court Lady Xuan, who inquired if she had made up her mind to accept Jin Fengming's proposal. She paused her writing on the scroll momentarily. "I haven't reached a decision yet," Jia Li responded.

Before Court Lady Xuan could continue, the voice of a maidservant interrupted their conversation.

"Your Royal Highness, General Lee's eldest son has arrived to see you," the maidservant announced.

Jia Li's eyes lit up to hear that and she told the maidservant to send Lee Xianwu inside. Court Lady Xuan found it strange because Jia Li would usually avoid him, but now, she had allowed Xianwu to see her.

Xianwu entered the chamber and bowed his head slightly. He gazed at Court Lady Xuan and asked her if she could give them some privacy.

Court Lady Xuan silently walked out of the chamber. As he heard the door shut, Xianwu brought his hands to the front which had a bouquet of flowers in them.
