When Xuan Heng realizes that she really has fallen in love with Princess Yong'an, her first reaction is to visit the memorial tablet of his friend, Crown Prince Zhaohuai, and offer incense.
Sorry, brother, Xuan Heng thinks.
After swearing to his friend's memorial tablet that he will treat the princess well, Xuan Heng is about to leave when he spots another young man sneaking around in front of the crown prince's memorial tablet.
He takes a closer look and realizes it's the ruler of the Mobei grasslands, who recently came to pay his respects to the emperor of the Central Plains.
Hiding behind a pillar, Xuan Heng hears the usually arrogant ruler of Mobei stand before the memorial tablet and speak in fluent, proper Han Chinese: "Crown Prince, rest assured. I will never let your sister down."
Xuan Heng: "..."

Those who grow up on the vast grasslands naturally have broad hearts, too.
The ruler of the grasslands tells Xuan Heng, "The princess likes me, and she likes you too. Why be so petty? At worst, you can be the principal consort and I'll be the secondary one. We can serve the princess together."
