It was thought that the two would quarrel until they each married into their respective families and no longer saw each other. However, no one expected that when the Queen Mother recently picked a county prince for the newly 'ji' Chang'an County Master, the latter would shock everyone by declaring her affection for her cousin Yan Junyu and her desire to marry him and become his wife.
One was the nephew whom the Queen Mother cherished like her own grandson, and the other was the niece whom she cherished like her own granddaughter. The Queen Mother actually thought their fights were amusing and promptly summoned her brother, Duke Wu'an, to the palace to ask for his opinion.
Duke Wu'an naturally knew who Chang'an County Master was. He too liked this beautiful and bright girl, and was more than willing to accept her as his granddaughter-in-law. Thus, the siblings reached a consensus, only waiting to inform Yan Junyu before selecting an auspicious date to finalize the marriage.
