Gao Xiyue's heart skipped a beat when she heard that Su Lufu had been betrothed to a prince. She felt a pang of envy and wished she could be betrothed to a prince herself. Gao Xiyue had long heard that the Fourth Prince Hongli was a strong contender for Crown Prince, and being his concubine would be wonderful. Thinking this, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Sister Su is truly lucky!"

The second candidate for the imperial concubine was Chen Yuenu. She was not particularly beautiful, but she had a very good character. Lanqin intended to marry her off to the eldest son of the Third Prince's wife as a princess.

Upon hearing this, Lady Wu covered her mouth and laughed, "Your Majesty is truly thoughtful. The Third Prince's wife certainly needs someone of dignified character."

The third person summoned was Zeng Xiwen, and Lanqin frowned slightly. Fourth Master privately stroked Lanqin's hand and asked carefully, "What's wrong?"

Lanqin shook her head and whispered to Song and the others, "I've met this girl before. Although she comes from a good family, she's a bit spoiled..."

Upon hearing Lanqin's words, Song was about to say "dismiss the sign," but Lanqin stopped her.

"Don't rush to make a decision. Qin'er has noticed that she has become much more restrained, which means that she is still good at heart!"

Zeng Xiwen didn't understand what the ladies on the throne were talking about, but after waiting for a long time without any conclusion, she couldn't help but worry. She had always wanted to enter the harem, but after being reprimanded by Lanqin and spending half a day with Gao Xiyue and Su Lufu, Zeng Xiwen had come to understand many things. As long as she didn't bring shame to her family, Zeng Xiwen hoped to marry a prince from the imperial clan.

Lanqin looked at Zeng Xiwen and saw that she no longer had the fierceness and arrogance of yesterday. She was standing quietly in place, and her gentle demeanor was gradually showing. She couldn't help but praise her: "A woman's virtue and gentleness are paramount. You are very good. I like you very much!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Zeng Xiwen blurted out, "This humble woman will humbly obey the teachings of the Noble Consort Xi!"

Lanqin's eyes lit up, and she pointed at Zeng Xiwen, saying, "She's to be married to the Seventh Master's legitimate son as his primary wife!"

As soon as Lanqin spoke, the expressions of the ladies around her changed, and they looked at Lanqin with curiosity. Lanqin calmly said, "Seventh Master has always been humble, and his son is excellent in every way. I have long intended to make plans for him..."

Zeng Xiwen blushed, feeling embarrassed as she thought about what she had done.

After pondering for a moment, Madam Wu couldn't help but ask, "I remember that Seventh Master's legitimate son is only thirteen years old, isn't he?"

Zeng Xiwen's face changed drastically, and she stood there without daring to utter a sound. Thirteen years old? Wasn't that three years younger than her?

Madam Song exclaimed in sudden realization, "Yes, Seventh Master's legitimate son is indeed still young. Your Majesty, would you like to reconsider?"

Madam Geng disliked Zeng Xiwen and was worried that Lanqin might betroth her to Hongzhou. Upon hearing that she was being betrothed to the Seventh Master's legitimate son, she quickly chimed in, "What does it matter if she's younger? The Seventh Master will probably be overjoyed..."

Only Madam Wu glanced at Zeng Xiwen and whispered doubtfully, "Actually, assigning a concubine to the Seventh Prince's legitimate son would be enough. Besides, that child probably can't handle this girl. What about the primary consort?"

Wu Shi did not say the following words, but looked at Lan Qin with a puzzled expression.

Lanqin casually said, "That's precisely why I want to assign a capable wife to the Seventh Prince's legitimate son. Husbands and wives complement each other, and I think it's the perfect match..."

Seeing this, Lady Wu could only smile awkwardly and say, "Your Highness Consort Xi is clever; that is indeed appropriate!"
