Madam Shangguan wanted to refute her words, but she had heard of such things many times. There were heartless people who did not treat their wives like human beings. Not only did they treat their wives like slaves every day, but they would also beat and kick their wives if they were unhappy.
As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not their heart. She only has this one precious daughter, and if she marries someone unhappily, she will be heartbroken.
Thinking about all this, she suddenly agreed with her husband's words. It wouldn't matter if their daughter never got married. They could afford to raise her. At worst, they could find her a husband to live with them later.
With this in mind, he stopped insisting that his daughter meet other men for marriage proposals.
"Let's wait and see about this later," she said finally, changing her mind.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yanran breathed a huge sigh of relief.
After this incident, her mother should no longer urge her to go on blind dates.
...
A few days later, Princess Fengxin's residence was finally completed.
Xie Jingrun bestowed upon her the title of Princess Anyang and selected a date for her to move into the princess's residence.
On the day she moved into the princess's residence, Feng Xin hosted a banquet for the noble ladies from various households to celebrate together.
To make her look good, Rong Qingqing brought congratulatory gifts and specially left the palace to visit Princess Anyang's residence.
Feng Xin knew she was coming, so she waited outside the door. When she arrived, she quickly welcomed her inside.
"Sister-in-law, I thought you weren't coming."
“I said I would come,” Rong Qingqing said in surprise.
Feng Xin blinked. "You did say that, but the Emperor might not be willing to let you leave the palace. Speaking of which, the Emperor really cares about you a lot. Even in the palace, he has people report to you at all times where you are and what you are doing."
Rong Qingqing sensed the sarcasm in her words and felt somewhat embarrassed, but deliberately scolded her, "Who told you that?"
Feng Xin chuckled, "I don't need to listen to anyone, I just know."
Rong Qingqing was speechless, but she couldn't help but recall the last time she cooked a meal at Taichen Palace without telling Xie Jingrun. Later, when the Emperor Emeritus deliberately showed off in front of him, she let it slip. Xie Jingrun was very resentful after he found out.
After that, he had someone report her whereabouts every day, for fear that she would avoid him again and go to Taichen Palace to cook for the Emperor Emeritus.
Sometimes, Xie Jingrun's childishness is truly exasperating.
Now that Feng Xin brings it up, she feels a little embarrassed for him.
A king of a nation doing such a thing, isn't he afraid of being laughed at?
Upon entering the mansion, Rong Qingqing instructed someone to hand over the congratulatory gifts she had brought to the servants of the princess's residence.
Although she sent flowers and plants, they were very precious. The servants carefully carried them into the front hall as instructed by Feng Xin, intending to place them in a prominent position.
This was a gift from the Empress herself. It's rare and precious, needless to say. More importantly, it will greatly enhance the princess's prestige. When others come and see what the Empress has given them, they will be even less likely to look down on their princess.
Although the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager were unable to leave the palace, they still sent Rong Qingqing with their congratulatory gifts.
The two elders gifted valuable ornaments, a screen depicting flowers and birds, and top-quality porcelain, as well as several pieces of precious calligraphy and paintings.
"Let's put it in the front hall. The calligraphy and paintings can be hung up," Rong Qingqing said.
Feng Xin nodded, "Yes, I'll have someone set it up right away."
After the two finished directing their servants to finish their tasks, Shangguan Yanran arrived shortly afterward. She had rushed in and was still panting when she came in.
"Why are you running so fast?" Rong Qingqing said, amused.
"I was afraid I was too late," Shangguan Yanran said, handing several books to Feng Xin. "These are my housewarming gifts for you."
