Upon hearing this, Jianxi said, "So I'm just a pawn, to be moved wherever I'm needed? Does anyone who's short a husband just come looking for me?"
Hua Yang said, "What's wrong with Minlan? As for her looks, she's just a bit tanned, and she's already getting her fair skin back.
In terms of family background, she's not far beneath you. You're well-matched in social standing—a talented man for a beautiful woman.
Minlan is kind-hearted, well-read, and courteous. If she hadn't spent five years on the border, do you think you'd even get a chance to marry her?"
Wanyun smiled faintly and said, "I also think Prince Jian and Minlan are well-suited. In terms of looks and family background, they are evenly matched."
Hua Yang said to Jianxi, "Did you hear that? Even Wanyun thinks you're a great match. So, this matter is settled.
I'll go with you to the Princess's Mansion right now to speak with our aunt about it. It'll be a case of strengthening family ties with marriage."
Jianxi: "..."
