His frown turns into an angry scowl. He wants to tell Huaisang to shut up and not to try and make excuses for the little fool, but he waits just long enough for his brain to start processing what he was told instead. His own marriage prospects? Ooooh!
He growls under his breathe and pinches the bridge of his nose in irritation. "The Jin elders are relentless! I've heard the Nie clan can be that way too, as mine can, though not as bad. Yours and his are worse. We've talked about it a couple of times in the few letters he's sent since he took over. Did you know he's had people falling over themselves trying to trick him into bed since he came back from the temple? He was fifteen!"
That wasn't exactly a problem Jiang Cheng has run into. He could find bed partners if he wanted them, sure, but they weren't sneaking into his chamber and trying to seduce him into making a bastard. He wasn't sure if it was his looks, his reputation of being ill tempered, or what exactly prevented that but he was almost glad he didn't suffer from this headache. Almost.
