The Prime Minister eventually agreed to the marriage between Wen Jin and the Second Princess.
But the Second Princess was already married.
The still-single Eldest Princess thus became the target of various officials covertly scheming for her hand.
The Eldest Princess was renowned for her beauty and was practically deified by the common folk, so the more those men previously despised her, the more they now admired her.
Three days later, Wen Jin returned with the Second Princess for her homecoming visit.
Upon hearing that the Prime Minister was in the study with the Eldest Princess, Wen Jin hesitated for a moment.
"Wen Jin, the Prime Minister might not wish to see me, you should go ahead," the Second Princess said gently to Wen Jin.
Wen Jin knew that the Prime Minister was not satisfied with the Second Princess, so he didn't say anything and headed to the study room alone.
There were no guards outside the study.
