"Miss Zhong, my purpose here is merely to inquire whether you have someone in your heart. If you do, I will not interfere any further."
"What do you mean by that?"
Zhong Qiao sensed something and immediately asked.
Ji Ruyan's eyes were clear, "Miss Zhong is Minister Zhong's beloved daughter and Minister Zhong is a confidant of His Majesty. Your marriage must have already drawn His Majesty's attention. Now that the Sixth Prince seeks to please Minister Zhong to the extent of wanting to make you his Side Consort, do you really wish to become someone's concubine?"
"No! I, Zhong Qiao, vow never to be a concubine!"
Zhong Qiao's heroic face turned half black with anger at once.
Ji Ruyan smiled, "My visit today is to ask if you have someone in your heart. If so, I will do my best to facilitate your marriage to him. If not, I'm afraid there's not much I can do. After all, it is His Majesty who will ultimately decree your marriage."
"Can you really make it happen for us?"
