Chancellor Zhang went to Prince Qin's mansion today, and returned in a huff.
"Father, how did it go?" Zhang Shiyu hurriedly asked.
In fact, just looking at Chancellor Zhang's angry face, it was clear what the outcome was.
Chancellor Zhang looked at his daughter, not knowing how to put it into words.
After thinking it over, he finally relayed Prince Qin's last words.
"Shiyu, you see, the Imperial Concubine Sheng has only recently passed away, and Prince Qin is in mourning. He won't take a concubine for three years. The emperor adored Concubine Sheng; if Prince Qin were to take a concubine so soon, it would only invite the emperor's resentment. How could he then compete with Ning Wang, right?"
Zhang Shiyu's eyes gradually darkened as she said, "So Father, are you saying that Prince Qin doesn't want me either?"
