Emperor Yongzheng defeated his brothers and ascended the throne, only to die exhausted after thirteen years, leaving behind ambitions unfulfilled. Unwilling to accept this fate, his soul wandered t...
After Qiu Wen entered the palace, she was invited to Yunrong's place along with Hesheli.
When they arrived, there were already some people in the palace. Yunrong spoke kindly to Hesheli, and after a few words, she said, "It's been a long time since I last saw you. Princess Niohuru seems to have grown taller. The Fujin is taking good care of herself."
Upon hearing this, Hesheli knew that his previous guess was indeed correct.
"Your Highness, please don't praise her, or she might get quite rude!"
Yunrong smiled and said, "You're welcome! This child is destined to be with me. Ronghua also said that he misses Princess Niohuru very much. He's been waiting for her ever since he heard that Princess Niohuru was coming!"
Empress Hesheli was surprised that the Empress and the Princess were so familiar with her adopted daughter.
Then Qiu Wen was sent to Bei Bei's place.
Qiu Wen also felt that she got along well with Bei Bei. Bei Bei was young and naive. It wasn't that she was ignorant of the ways of the world, but she just didn't care.
Her noble status gave her the right to do whatever she wanted, and she understood that, but no one could force her to do things she didn't want to do, which made her seem all the more genuine in her interactions.
This sincerity comes from the heart; it is polite but not vain.
Beibei was waiting for her there too!
"Sister Qiu Wen has finally arrived."
Qiu Wen was about to pay her respects when she was interrupted. Fortunately, there were no outsiders present, and the princess didn't seem to mind, so she decided to be more casual.
"What has the princess been doing lately?"
At first, Beibei liked Qiuwen out of a kind of admiration and respect. Later, as they spent more time together, Beibei really liked Qiuwen's attitude towards her.
As a princess, she was never short of people who flattered her. She was intelligent from a young age. Although she did not learn as many things as her brother, she knew everything she needed to know. Sometimes she would see those other princesses treating her like a fool and trying to fool her. Otherwise, given her upbringing, she would have kicked them out.
She's not stupid. Even if she wanted to please someone, she should have done it sincerely. Those envious and jealous looks made her feel awkward.
Of course, there were people who were good at putting on a good show, and she believed them at first, but what happened later made her increasingly disgusted with those who flattered and fawned.
Qiu Wen was different; she respected her. Bei Bei was very sensitive to emotions, and she felt that Qiu Wen treated her with the same care and concern one would show to a child.
This struck Beibei as novel and appealing.
In summary, Qiu Wen's unique and unpretentious style attracted Bei Bei's attention, and of course, Bei Bei's "fan" filter also played a part.
Beibei talked to Qiu Wen for a while before mysteriously saying, "Sister Qiu Wen should know that Brother Tingyu is here today, right?"
Qiu Wen nodded: "I know a little."
Qiu Wen didn't think she needed to hide this from Bei Bei. She had already done what she needed to do in Cangzhou, and there was really no need to keep their private correspondence a secret any longer.
Beibei added, "Actually, it was my brother from Cangzhou who wrote the letter. I want to congratulate Sister Qiuwen first."
Qiu Wen looked at Bei Bei with some confusion.
Beibei smiled and said, "There's no need to invite men to such a banquet. Mother invited many talented young men this time, all for the sake of Sister and Brother Tingyu's relationship."
Qiu Wen was truly surprised by this outcome, but she was also quite taken aback. Was the Emperor and Empress really that concerned about her marriage to Zhang Tingyu?
Beibei continued, "Sister doesn't know, but I've read the letter from brother. He's urging me a lot. I guess Tingyu can't wait any longer. Well, with your beauty and talent, sister, he's probably afraid someone will have their eyes on you. It's normal that he wants to marry you as soon as possible."
Qiu Wen looked a little embarrassed after hearing this.
The information Qiu Wen received from Bei Bei made her quite happy.
Outside the palace, Madam Zhang arrived not long after Qiu Wen left. Since it was Yunrong's palace, the male guests who came this time did not come in; they were all "invited" away by Yinzhen for a talk.
"Madam Zhang looks much better lately, perhaps something good has happened?" a familiar lady said, looking at Madam Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed that her eldest son would get married this year and her second son had promised to get married next year.
"Isn't this Tingzan getting married?"
"Oh, I see. By the way, your second son is of marriageable age. I wonder if Madam Zhang has any plans?" This question also revealed the possibility of arranging a marriage between them.
The Zhang family has a good family tradition, and Zhang Tingyu is clearly a very promising young man, making him the best candidate for marriage.
Although Mrs. Zhang was anxious about her son's marriage, she knew that her son was not short of suitors, so she remained very reserved in public.
"That child is still young, but if you have any good candidates, don't forget to introduce them to me."
"That's natural."
Yunrong then asked, "What are Madam Zhang and Madam Wang talking about?"
Madam Zhang replied, "Your Majesty, it was just some everyday conversation."
Yunrong smiled and said, "By the way, Zhang Tingyu should come today too."
"Yes, I came today too."
Yunrong: "In the blink of an eye, that child has grown up and will soon be of marriageable age. I wonder if Madam has any thoughts on this."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, but I have no clue what to do here!"
Yunrong added, "There are quite a few princesses and young ladies here today. Madam Zhang should take a good look at them."
"Thank you for your concern for my son's marriage, Your Majesty."
A short while later, Beibei arrived with Qiu Wen.
