The Crown Prince had misspoken!
When he realized the astonishment in Liu Shimei's eyes due to his inappropriate question, he restrained himself and said, "What I mean is... It's wonderful that Imperial Second Brother is happy. In the future..."
He continued with a hint of bitterness, "In the past, the Empress Mother was always worried that Imperial Second Brother would lack care in the future. She often reminded me to take good care of him. Now, I think Empress Mother worried too much. With Eldest Young Miss Liu as his unmarried wife, it is his blessing."
Attempting to salvage his blunder, Huangfu He couldn't help but appear more erratic. He felt he shouldn't speak any further to her and said, "Forget it, why am I telling you all this? Just go back."
The more he said, the more mistakes he might make!
