"Your Highness, do you think his majesty will agree to your request, Li Fu asked.

"I think he will", Yan Yue replied.

"Your Highness, I don't understand why you chose the farmer girl, do you think the king will suspect you" Li Fu ask curiously.

"Suspect me of what? Yan Yue asked as he stared into Li Fu eye. "I think his majesty is really testing me whether I will accept the princess of Ying state. Yan Yue suggest." The lady from Dan State is really simple, do you think my brother will make her one of his spies just like my concubines.

"I don't think so, first Prince must really be curious right now why you choose the girl, am sure he will want to make a move on her. Li Fu said.
