"The Eldest Princess Consort’s seventh-day memorial service is today, so I’ve come to offer some incense," the Heir of Yong'an Marquis said with a grin. "Just to urge him along his way through the underworld."

Although His Majesty has not yet granted it, my devotion is witnessed by heaven and earth. Time will prove my heart; I will certainly make the Princess understand my feelings!"
