Helian Beiming sighed and said, "What a coincidence. Chao'er went out. Young man, he's bored out of his wits staying in the manor all day, so I asked the guards to bring him out for a walk."
"Ah." The Queen nodded in understanding and smiled. "Actually, it's not a big deal. I've spoiled Xi'er too much. She doesn't like to stay idle, either. I don't want word to get out that Xi'er bullied the eldest grandson of the Helian family."
Helian Beiming said solemnly, "I guarantee to Your Highness that such a thing will never happen."
The Queen smiled and said, "I'm relieved to hear that. As you know, Xi'er is seventeen years old. It's time for a marriage proposal. I'll have a headache if her reputation isn't good."
"I understand." Helian Beiming bowed.
