Changyu didn't hesitate much before deciding to take Manbao to watch the excitement, so Mingda put down the book in her hand and wanted to go too.
The three of them talked as they walked over, "Didn't you say you weren't going?"
Mingda replied, "Since both of you are going, what's the difference if I go or not? You'd just tell me everything when you come back, so I might as well see it myself."
Manbao said, "I think you should have told the emperor directly and gone yourself to choose. After all, you're picking a husband."
Mingda chuckled, "Aren't you afraid I won't choose Bai Cheng?"
Manbao responded, "Although he's my Junior Brother, you're also my friend. Naturally, such things should be based on mutual consent. If you think one of those eighteen people is more suitable than him, then pick him."
"Father wouldn't agree; he would at most decide on a few candidates, and then let Mingda have a look at them."
