The girl from the Tu Family had caught her eye long ago; she had sent people to inquire about her several times in secret, all of whom reported that she was virtuous and well-behaved, had studied at home under a scholar for a few years, was talented and had connections with the Eastern Palace. No matter how she thought about it, she felt this was an excellent marriage prospect.
Having reached an agreement with her mother, Consort Qi set aside one worry, then looking at her son, she asked, "Do you know how your father the Emperor intends to deal with the matter between Prince Xiang and You Xiangrui?"
"How would a son know about such matters? But the issue has blown up so much that Duke Wu'an has already requested an audience with His Majesty, but His Majesty has not yet summoned him. Over at Prince Xiang's side, Noble Consort Li has gone to Zichen Palace to weep. It's hard to say how it will turn out in the end."
