General Huaiyuan personally asked the Emperor for a royal marriage grant. Such a young man seeking to marry a woman previously divorced by the Wu family has made many people's eyes green with envy. Even she, as the Empress, couldn't help but feel a bit envious.
General Xia is young and capable, holding a high position and wielding considerable power. What kind of noble lady couldn't he marry? He could even pair with a Princess. Yet, he went before the Emperor to request a marriage grant, the reason being his fondness for her gentle and virtuous nature, wishing for a lifetime of companionship with her.
A lifetime of companionship, spending the rest of their lives together—those words really stab at one's heart!
For others, it might be just words, but General Xia can achieve this because, even past the age of thirty, he doesn't even have a maidservant in his house.
