After a while, Huangfu Lin and his wife emerged from the room. Having now become in-laws with the Chu State royal family, Huangfu Lin no longer deliberately antagonized Emperor Chujing. Although he still didn’t find him particularly pleasing to the eye, he could not allow his daughter to be caught in the middle.
"Come, come, Brother Huangfu, sit here." Emperor Chujing shared the same sentiment. This daughter-in-law was unlike any other; he would have to treat her like a bodhisattva from now on. He couldn’t afford for her to complain about life here to her father; he certainly didn’t want his remaining years to be marred by the flames of war. Although her status was extraordinary, it was a perfect match for his son, Chu Hengyuan. He had previously worried about passing the throne to his son, fearing he might not have the authority to hold it, but who would dare to plot against him now? Behind his son stood Aran, and behind Aran stood the entire Canglan State. This background was worth more than a hundred men, not to mention that the young couple was deeply in love.
Huangfu Lin nodded, then brought over a chair for his wife. Now, the four closest relatives of Aran and Chu Hengyuan were gathered together.
