Yongjia watched Madam Sheng retreat in defeat, then said to Wanyun, "Wanyun, thank you so much."
The Eldest Princess said to Yongjia, "If you truly like Wei Mingqi, Mother won't interfere.
"But you must think this through yourself. Once the marriage with the Wei Family is set, I will not be able to swallow my pride and call it off for you again."
Yongjia said to the Eldest Princess, "Mother, I truly want to marry Wei Mingqi."
The Eldest Princess smiled at Wanyun and said, "In that case, Wanyun, go speak with the Wei Family. Have them move the wedding up."
It was common knowledge in Chang'an that Old Madam Wei was in poor health, and the Eldest Princess was worried that if the worst should happen, they would have to observe a mourning period.
Wanyun nodded. "Yes."
At dusk, Wanyun returned to Chaohua Courtyard and went to Mu Wanruo's residence to have dinner with her.
