Emperor Xiande felt a sudden pang in his heart.
He couldn't sit still anymore, stood up, and asked Xue He, "When did you get married?"
Xue He, speaking of his wife, smiled with a radiant face: "I, got married in a dream."
Emperor Xiande almost cursed out loud; he took a few steps toward Xue He and said, "Got married in a dream? How can a wife from a dream be legitimate?"
"It's legitimate, it's legitimate."
Xue He stood up too, unafraid of Emperor Xiande, and retorted with puffing anger right in front of the emperor: "We've taken our wedding vows; naturally, it's legitimate, I..."
When Anning heard from the palace maid that Emperor Xiande summoned Xue He to the palace, she knew what Emperor Xiande was thinking. She hurriedly changed her clothes and went to Tianji Palace.
Upon arriving at the entrance of Tianji Palace, Anning asked the guard: "How long has Mr. Xue been inside?"
One of the guards replied: "It's been a while."
