Jingrou really took this matter to heart. In fact, for her, this matter was not only about helping her aunt.

For her aunt, going to the palace might not be a good place at all; it's not a pleasant place to stay.

Perhaps my aunt only had some guesses about the hardships of life in the palace based on hearsay, but she may not really know how difficult it was.

The hardships inside the palace are unimaginable unless you actually live there for several years, because it's not just the visible torment, but also an unhealthy development of one's mind.

In particular, Jingrou had seen many of the palace eunuchs or maids with blank expressions. Sometimes they really looked like walking corpses, which was frightening to look at. Just their eyes alone could make people feel uneasy.

Although most palace maids or eunuchs would not show this behavior in front of her, just seeing it occasionally was enough to instill fear in one's heart, let alone experiencing such a life oneself.

Especially if the aunt isn't very bright and sometimes even needs the aunt's help, then life would be unbearable. Of course, the aunt can help her, but she can't take care of everything for her for the rest of her life...

Even her most favored aunt, when she was in the palace, would often show that lonely look in her eyes.

Moreover, Jingrou felt sorry for her aunt. Her aunt always considered others when doing these things, but rarely considered her own wishes. Clearly, her aunt didn't want anyone else to enter the palace and share the Emperor with her...

Despite her aunt's seemingly strong exterior, she is very considerate of her younger sister. However, Jingrou doesn't want to wrong her aunt. Her aunt deserves the best, which includes living freely and not being bound by such things. These are all things Jingrou desires.

Find a reliable husband for your aunt who suits her taste, and write it down in your little notebook.

With this goal in mind, Jingrou returned to Prince An's residence with great enthusiasm.

Actually, since a few years ago, Jingrou has no longer been the youngest child in the family. She has gained several younger cousins, and almost all of them like her very much. They follow her around every day, if it weren't for the fact that she spends a lot of time in the palace now.

I probably can't move my hands and feet every day because I'm bothered by my little cousins. It's just a pity that I've never had a cute little cousin.

However, the aunts also talked about it every day, saying that those few brats in the mansion kept nagging about finding their older sister, and it was almost driving them crazy.

So every time she returned to the manor, it was quite noisy. Several of her cousins ​​would seize any opportunity to pounce on her legs and tell their sister, whom they hadn't seen for a very long time, about what had happened at the manor.

But Jingrou had no way to brush them off; she had to listen to them properly.

Then the siblings would respond in unison to make the little ones happy. They were both lovable and a headache to deal with!

Jingrou only had a chance to mention this matter to her maternal grandmother in the evening. She didn't mention Consort Yi's role in it. "My little aunt looks so pitiful. And the family doesn't side with her at all, unlike me..."

She subtly tried to flatter her grandmother, then mischievously raised her head to see her grandmother's reaction, only to meet her grandmother's smiling eyes, and then lowered her head guiltily.

Jingrou looked up and smiled ingratiatingly.

Hesheli smiled as well.

In fact, Jingrou is very smart. If she wanted to pretend, she could do it well in front of others. Coupled with her natural childlike aura, she might make people less wary.

She just didn't want to do that. She always had to act more childish and less guarded in front of her loved ones, as if she could only take off that little layer of disguise in front of her family.

This is her true nature; she is clearly an innocent and romantic young girl. Although she may appear very mature and sensible at times, she cannot change her true nature.

"And then?" Hershey had a pretty good idea, but she didn't call him out on it.

Jingrou smiled ingratiatingly, "Then it depends on whether Grandmother is willing to help Auntie and see if she can find her a talented young man in the capital, preferably someone who can make the two of them fall in love with each other!" Jingrou paused and added, "We don't have to be too particular about social status, as long as he is good to Auntie, has good character... and doesn't have any messy affairs."

"If we could find a suitable person for my aunt, she wouldn't be in such a difficult position..."

This was also Consort Yi's wish. Her younger sister was simple-minded, and Consort Yi would only worry if she were to marry someone of high birth, good character, and universally praised.

Moreover, if one comes from a slightly lower social class or is not the eldest son in the family, one does not have to bear so much responsibility.

If my younger sister marries into that family in the future, things will definitely be much easier for her!

Hesheli joked, "I didn't expect Zhuzhu to know so much! She's already trying to be a little matchmaker!" She knew her granddaughter was smart, but she was still surprised by how organized and even prepared her speech.

Jingrou smiled shyly, "If Grandma met Aunt, she would probably like her very much too. Aunt is really a very good person!"
