"Actually, if it were Eldest Young Master Li instead, it might not be a bad thing," the Empress Dowager slowly said, "Right Chancellor Li's Family is much more established than the Shen family. The very aspect that you care most about means nothing to the Li Family."
Empress Dowager Liu was moved by this undeniable truth. Although the Emperor's reckless decree for marriage angered her, she originally disliked Shen Yurong – firstly, he was once a commoner, and secondly, marrying into his family would mean becoming his second wife, something she found unacceptable. Li Xian was different. Even the least competent Right Chancellor was still a Chancellor, and Li Xian had both talent and looks, certainly no less than Shen Yurong.
"But Yongning doesn't know about this," Empress Dowager Liu thought of Princess Yongning's temperament and still felt it was inappropriate, "How should I explain this to her?"
