The next day, Shangguan Ruixi woke up and went to the main courtyard to have breakfast with Prince An and the Princess Consort An.
After breakfast, Prince An went off to gamble on green-skinned walnuts.
Princess Consort An stayed behind and chatted with Shangguan Ruixi.
"The Qixi Festival is fast approaching, don't tell me you've forgotten our yearly agreement! After Qixi, if you still haven't found a woman you like, I'll arrange a marriage for you." The Princess Consort An, who was gracefully opulent in her early forties looked like she was only thirty, not showing any signs of aging, instead displaying an indescribable charm.
"How could I forget!" Shangguan Ruixi, with the thought of her light dimple smile, showed a tenderness in his eyes that he hadn't had before.
Being a mother makes her understand better. Upon seeing her son's lovestruck look, Princess Consort An couldn't help but wonder if he actually had a woman he liked.
