The warm breeze was gentle, quite comforting on the body.
Yao Ru, after marrying into the Second Prince Mansion, rarely left the house except for palace banquets or invitations from the noble ladies.
She stood in front of the mansion's gate, gazing at the streets bustling with people, her expression indifferent and aloof, as if isolated from the mundane world.
This outing was a spur-of-the-moment decision; no carriage had been arranged in advance, so the steward sent someone to prepare it, and she waited quietly.
Unexpectedly, she first encountered the Second Prince, Ying Zhi.
Ying Zhi, having just returned from the Imperial Palace, was displeased upon learning that Emperor Qian wanted to marry Miss Yang to Ying Cheng.
Why should the fourth brother be the one?
His mother was lowly, and he was silent most of the time.
Ying Zhi used to scoff at Ying Cheng privately, saying he was out of favor with the Emperor, which endlessly delayed his marriage.
