However, although Princess Yuhua managed not to make a fool of herself under the suppression of Empress Dowager Wang that night, no one could stop her after she left the palace. Incredibly, she actually engaged an official matchmaker to propose to the Ye Family on her behalf.
When the news reached the noble households, they were all utterly shocked. Although Princess Yuhua had been divorced, she was still a dignified princess and the late Emperor's only legitimate daughter. How could she so desperately seek marriage without fearing the mockery it might invite?
When Mrs. Ye, the doctor's wife, heard about the matchmaker's arrival, she too was stunned for quite a while, wondering which distinguished family had taken a fancy to her young son, only to discover that it was Princess Yuhua who had sent the matchmaker.
Recalling yesterday's encounter with Princess Yuhua at the palace banquet, she finally realized why - the princess intended her son to become the Prince Consort!
