"Then let's look at it from another angle. Suppose Ji Yunting is in love with the County Princess, and she's fully aware of it but neither rejects him nor clarifies her stance. Instead, she turns around to laugh and chat with another young gentleman. If Ji Yunting were to lose his cool and cause a scene, and the County Princess still defended the other man... what would Your Majesty think then?"
Feng Yi's expression stiffened.
"When you like someone, when you care about someone, you can't bear to see them hurt or sad. You'll find yourself involuntarily paying attention to them, caring for them, wanting to be near them, and protecting them. Because you like them, you ask for nothing in return. Your Majesty, look at Ji Yunting. Has he done any of that? That's why I'm not optimistic about this marriage. The County Princess is too deeply in love, and I'm truly afraid she will regret it and be heartbroken later on."
