The Empress's death anniversary was approaching. This time, the Emperor decided to spend three days in seclusion at the National Temple, chanting the Rebirth Scripture for her.
Mo Lingwei was to accompany him. King Shu, seeking an opportunity to distinguish himself, also offered to go along.
Shen Ningning was also invited, as she was going to accompany Mo Lingwei.
However, a few days before their departure, Ye Shangyi rushed over to her in a panic. "Ningning, did you know? Qi Xiuwei is getting engaged!"
Shen Ningning was quite surprised. "Engaged?! To whom?"
According to the long-standing customs of Cangyun Country, a girl would be engaged at thirteen and married at fifteen after her coming-of-age ceremony.
But Qi Xiuwei had only just celebrated her thirteenth birthday. Why was the Qi Family in such a hurry to arrange her marriage?
"To the eldest son of Duke Chang, Liang Yuanzhong."
Shen Ningning's clear black eyes widened.
