The Emperor pointed at him with a face full of smiles and said to Lord Wu, "Look, what he's saying is really quite nice. His being a widower is all for me."
Lord Wu concurred, "Lord Han's loyalty is unmatched. In my humble view, it wouldn't be a bad idea to arrange a marriage for him with a suitable young lady from a respectable family. She doesn't have to be exceedingly talented but should be gentle and virtuous, capable of managing Lord Han's household affairs well, allowing him to serve Your Majesty without distractions. It would fulfill his loyalty, and besides," he stroked his beard and looked towards Han Cheng, "it could also lead to a delightful match and become a lovely tale of romance, wouldn't that be perfect!"
"Good, good! Very good!" The Emperor clapped his hands and laughed, then pointed to Lord Wu and Qian Zhong, saying, "I think I will leave this matter to you two. Present me with a list in three days, and I will personally choose a beautiful bride for Old Han."
