Explanation
Qian Zhou
Your official fiancee was the seventh prince?
Gu Mo
It's truth, your majesty.
Gu Mo
My father the previous General arranged the marriage between the seventh prince and my daughter who was still an infant.
Gu Mo
He said by marrying into the royal family, our military family would strengthen and be able to serve the Emperor and kingdom more effectively.
Qian Zhou
That sounds great.
Qian Zhou
What happened then?
Gu Mo
Since the seventh prince went to serve in the war, she never got the chance to meet him.
Gu Mo
Once after visiting the Imperial Palace she met the sixth prince and was interested in him.
Gu Mo
And so the engagement to the seventh prince was no longer valid.
Qian Zhou
Then how could she have fallen for him if they never met?
Gu Xiaolian
I met him at his majesty's birthday.
Qian Zhou
That was a month ago.
Gu Xiaolian
He came to celebrate your majesty's 60th birthday and even brought you a present.
Gu Xiaolian
A precious gem only found in the northern region.
Qian Zhou
Yes, I remembered.
Qian Zhou
It was the first gem of it's kind I've ever received.
Gu Xiaolian
At that moment I fell in love with him.
Gu Xiaolian
I never got the chance to speak nor meet him and later I found out that I was engaged to him.
Gu Xiaolian
I felt guilty for having these feeling for another and not telling his highness.
Gu Xiaolian
I wanted your majesty to be the one to break off the engagement.
Gu Xiaolian
Because it was the right thing to do.
Qian Zhou
So to avoid hurting the sixth prince later on you decided to end things here?
Qian Zhou
So it was love at for sight, or so the kids say these days.
Qian Zhou
I don't approve of what you did today after all the effort put into this banquet.
Qian Zhou
However, the seventh prince have been away since he was 15 and returns once a year on my birthday.
Qian Zhou
He never got the chance to meet anyone.
Qian Zhou
He's also at the age for marriage.
Qian Zhou
And also was engaged.
Qian Taio
What are you saying?
Qian Zhou
I'm saying, there is someone willing to marry the seventh prince.
Qian Zhou
And so I'll allow it.
Qian Taio
But father, she's my fiancée.
Qian Taio
We love each other.
Qian Zhou
From what I just heard, not anymore.
Qian Zhou
And they were engaged before you met.
Qian Taio
What proof do they have of this engagement?
Gu Mo
My father's will have the proof.
Qian Zhou
Have the will sent to me.
Qian Zhou
For now this engagement is on hold until I determine if the past engagement was valid.
Qian Taio
But father, why the seventh prince?
Qian Taio
Why was he chosen?
Qian Zhou
I would like to know that as well?
Gu Mo
My father's aide's wife was the seventh prince nanny.
Gu Mo
She would talk about the seventh prince and my father's aide what do the same also.
Gu Mo
After his mother passed he was left to her.
Gu Mo
So father declared that he should share his life with someone.
Gu Mo
An thus, that was written in the will.
Qian Zhou
So he wanted to marry her to any member of the royal family, and so his final decision was the seventh prince.
