Jiang Yuanbai was speechless for a moment before he said, "Empress Dowager Liu hopes the Assistant Head Writer will become Prince Consort to Princess Yongning."
Jiang Li sneered inwardly but her expression remained as usual as she spoke, "The Xue Family's resources are somewhat modest, aren't they? Besides, with the Emperor so fond of Lord Shen, how could he bear to simply hand him over to someone else? It seems to me that the very moment my father suggested Eldest Young Master Li, the Emperor decided to choose someone else to bestow in marriage."
Jiang Yuanbai sighed, "I am of the same opinion."
"Why is father so downcast?"
"Prince Cheng will sooner or later find out that I was the one who stirred up this affair. If they were originally in favor of Shen Yurong, and I complicated the matter, I'm afraid they will bear me a grudge."
