However, when the Seventh Prince married his wife, King Rui and Zhou Huaiming had already left for Dongyang Province.
Therefore, during the banquet, King Kang saw that Gu Chengrui was getting increasingly popular and began extending an olive branch to him.
However, it wasn't working. Instead, he brought up Princess Ping Yang, who had always supported him.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui didn't take the olive branch and instead laughed with him and said some words of gratitude to Princess Ping Yang.
He started praising Princess Ping Yang, stating she was capable, fair, cared for him, and helped him marry a good wife.
When King Kang saw this, he knew it would not be easy to win Gu Chengrui over quickly. Thus, he then followed suit, praising Princess Ping Yang.
On the female side, Zhou Jiaying saw Zhou Ying glowing radiantly with happiness.
In comparison, His Highness's attitude toward her only got colder; she was pissed.
