Royal marriages had never paid much mind to generational differences, but Hua Yang felt her imperial brother wasn't so open-minded. Yet, Lu Jingxing had agreed this time.
Rong An's appointment to the high position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice upon his return to Chang'an had certainly stirred up opinions in the imperial court.
Hua Yang said to Lu Jingxing, "Imperial Brother, don't forget I still have an army of one hundred thousand."
Lu Jingxing chuckled at Hua Yang. "Do you think I'm afraid you'll lead your army in a rebellion?"
Hua Yang said, "That's not what I meant. I mean that if Rong An and I marry, my army will naturally become his army.
Weren't you unwilling to marry Bai Jingran precisely because you feared the Bai Family would abuse their power as imperial in-laws? Why aren't you afraid of Rong An doing the same?"
Lu Jingxing said, "Rong An is the only good friend of our elder brother who is still alive."
