The next day, after attending the morning gathering, Yan Huisheng managed to make some time to visit the Fengyi Palace to greet the Empress.
The Empress looked at Yan Huisheng, "It's well-known that you have been busy lately. Focus on your work; you don't always have to come greet me."
Looking at the Empress, Yan Huisheng replied, "I have an issue, Your Majesty."
"Oh, what is it?" The Empress sat upright.
"I want to marry my cousin." Yan Huisheng said forthrightly.
The Empress was taken aback, "Which cousin?"
Yan Huisheng couldn't help but laugh, "Mother, it's Duanhua."
The Empress looked at him in shock, "What did you say?"
Yan Huisheng sighed inwardly. Yes, his wanting to marry Duanhua was indeed unimaginable. No wonder his aunt and uncle were shocked, and even his own mother was speechless. Even Duanhua herself seemed frightened by his proposal.
He smiled and said, "It's Duanhua. She agreed."
