As a result of His Highness the Crown Prince's arrangements, the original get-together between four sisters bewilderingly transformed into a dozen-person spring outing on Fu Mountain.
Besides welcoming Miss Li's fiancé, Young Sir Pei Yidao of the Count of Jian'an's Estate, he also thoughtfully invited Miss Li's sister-in-law, Pei Jia.
It was good for the sister-in-laws to get closer to each other, and it was even better if they didn't have the time to snatch his wife from him. That would be the best.
His Highness even very thoughtfully found companions for his eighth sister and Senior Sister Liang, who were both single. They were respectively Shi Guangyun, the second young sir of the State Duke of Qing's Estate, and Hui Fan, the second brother of the Royal Guard Commander Hui Feng.
Thus, the four-person gathering between four bosom friends expanded into a nine-person gathering.
