"The marriage of Xuanyi is not urgent. Lady Rui'an of Rui'an County is not yet of age for marriage. Mother, you should focus more on the affair of the first prince. Furthermore, a marriage is predetermined by fate, mother, you should just let things happen."

Xiao'er was oblivious to the events happening within the Imperial Palace.
