The emperor seemed to be asking Ming Shu for suggestions. But actually, he was giving her orders.
Either he married Cheng Jinxiu or King Huai picked someone by himself. In short, he must be married within a period of one month.
King Huai didn't make promises, responding with silence. But the emperor took the silence as agreement, and he let them go in short order.
See? If someday your boss is telling you something like "I was thinking about…" or "What do you say…", then he usually already had a decision in mind.
So…
Why the hell did he call me here?
King Huai left a bit earlier than Ming Shu, but when Ming Shu came out, he was still standing at the door.
"Why help me again?" he asked.
Ming Shu took out a pack of candy while walking unhurriedly to "her" uncle. She answered in a delighted tone, "To show my thanks, Uncle, for sending me back. I am a good, grateful child."
