The Sixth Prince sneered, "How dare Lu Hong pay lip service but act against me? I want Xiang Ying, but what is this thing he has sent instead?"
He never expected the usually obedient Lu Hong to dare defy him.
The Sixth Prince flung his sleeves, "Since he won't give her to me, I'll go find her myself!"

"Your Highness! Please don't go," Xiang Qianqian looked up, her eyes brimming with moisture, "The Lord Governor is doing this out of consideration for you."
"For me?" The Sixth Prince raised an eyebrow, "Let's hear you explain that."
In her urgency, Xiang Qianqian wielded the same set of flattery she used to win her Father's favor.
"You are the most prestigious Prince, and surely the Emperor of Nanyue is aware of this. Sending you to Mei City was to refine your abilities and to secure the genuine submission of us captives from Xizhou."
