There was no way Shen Wei could be allowed to become the secondary consort! She wasn't worthy!
Shen Wei lightly pressed her red lips together, seemingly wounded by the Princess Consort's words. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she spoke softly, "Your Highness... This humble one comes from a lowly background. To serve by Your Highness's side is already a great fortune... Your Highness, could you please ask Her Majesty the Empress to revoke the decree? This humble one cannot bear to see Your Highness placed in such a precarious position."
Her words were carefully crafted, every sentence dripping with humility and concern for Prince Yan's predicament.
Prince Yan felt deeply comforted.
His Weiwei, for the sake of his reputation, was even willing to give up the position of secondary consort. How could he possibly fail such a virtuous woman?
Prince Yan took Shen Wei's hand and said gently, "You are more than worthy of the position of secondary consort."
