Wu Yanyao did not take a single word of the Grand Princess’s warning to heart. She believed that with her noble status, only a man like the Prince of Pingnan was a worthy match for her. She convinced herself that her "Brother Jinchen" simply did not have her in his heart yet, but that once they were married, she was so exceptional that he would eventually grow to love her. She had set her mind on the Prince of Pingnan for the rest of her life.
Outwardly, however, she remained submissive to the Grand Princess. "Mother is right. Your daughter will listen to you."
The Grand Princess was not so easily fooled; she knew her daughter had not truly let go of the Prince of Pingnan. She sighed again. "As long as you understand my intentions. There are many fine men in this world; you must not be so stubborn."
