After Qian Hui and his wife left, Prince Yu was alone in the room, lost in thought. He reached out and took the glass mirror, a specialty of Dasheng. The mirror reflected Prince Yu's cold and stern face as sharp as a knife, and his deep green eyes.

In the mirror, the Island King said softly: "Having such a pair of eyes, is it really a curse?"

"Can't I keep the person I really like by my side?"

The atmosphere in the General's Mansion was naturally depressing, and the main courtyard was like a violent storm.

Qian Zining was caught off guard when she heard about this and immediately rushed back home.

In this room, Qian Zining knelt silently in front of her mother with her head slightly lowered.

Madam Qian couldn't hold back her tears, "Your father...had a conflict with Prince Yu, and he went to the palace to apologize! Xiaoguai..."

Qian Zining raised her head, her eyes unflinching. "Mother, it was Prince Yu's suggestion, but the decision is mine. It's my decision! I didn't tell Father originally because I knew you wouldn't agree, so I went to the Empress. The Empress's notification can be considered an imperial decree, right?"

Madam Qian looked at her daughter, who was extremely intelligent but had a deep understanding of the situation. She asked, "Does the Empress agree?"

Qian Zining shook her head. "The Empress doesn't agree! After all, the Sea Country is too far away. If my daughter goes there and something happens, she'll be alone and helpless. The Empress explained everything to me, pros and cons! But for my daughter, the pros outweigh the cons!"

Qian Hui's voice came from the door: "Tell me, what's the benefit?"

Both mother and daughter turned their heads, and Madam Qian asked, "The general is back so soon?"

Qian Hui endured it and sat down beside Madam Qian. Looking at his kneeling daughter, he softened his heart and said, "Get up! Prince Yu and I were just sparring with each other in martial arts. If I behaved inappropriately, His Majesty has already fined me my monthly salary."

What Qian Hui didn't say was that just as he went to apologize to the Emperor, Prince Yu rushed to the Qianzheng Palace to plead for him, saying that they simply admired each other and were just exchanging martial arts. The Emperor, who had always considered Qian Hui a beloved general, saw that their words were not in harmony and did not pursue the matter, simply fining him half a year's salary. That was why Qian Hui returned so quickly.

Qian Hui looked at his daughter, who was stubbornly refusing to get up, and said with a headache, "Little sweetheart, are you really going to abandon your parents and all your relatives? This is a huge matter for you. Don't be so willful. In my opinion, this will not benefit you at all."

"If you really don't want to get married, Daddy and your mother will always support you. If you like someone, Daddy will make the decision for you. From today on, Daddy and your mother will never force you again!"

Qian Zining had been restless, but now she was steadfast. "Daddy, you know my temper. Once I've made a decision, I won't change it! So I just reported it to the Empress without hesitation, not giving myself the chance to waver."

"An unfilial daughter!"

Qian Zining said slowly and firmly, "Dad, you're right. I've thought this through carefully. If I stay in the Imperial City, I'm going to get married. Having three wives and four concubines, chaos and humiliation, and enduring all this in silence is the epitome of my future!"

"At least now that I'm in the Sea Country, no one will cause me any trouble. Prince Yu won't take any more concubines. I'm the most honored woman in the Sea Country. Besides, marriage in the Sea Country is relatively free. After two years, when my daughter has experienced the scenery of the Sea Country, she will naturally return to the Dasheng Imperial City."

Qian Zining looked at her parents. "Father, Mother, if I really stay in Dasheng, can I really stay unmarried? Dad, you know that's impossible. What about the other uncles in the Qian family who have daughters? How could they agree?"

"And I don't want to compromise."

Qian Zining persuaded her, "I don't want to get married, I don't want to have children, I don't want to manage a bunch of jealous concubines every day... In the days to come, I want to continue the Qingciyuan well."
