The news that Gao Zhijun was named Princess Xiangyun spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, reaching the residences of wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials, including Anyang Prefecture.
The Marquis and his wife of Anyang Prefecture were discussing this matter in their mansion.
"My Lord, Princess Xiangyun has been named Princess Xiangyun and is very favored by the Emperor. Why not let Chen'er marry Princess Xiangyun? This would be better than marrying the Ninth Princess. What do you think?"
The Marquis’ wife asked Marquis Anyang.
Before, she thought that if she married the ninth princess, her son would become the prince consort of the Tatar Kingdom.
Now there was a good candidate—Princess Xiangyun. She felt that being a consort in Daliang was better than being a consort in Tatar. After all, her family all lived in Daliang and were native to the region. If she left her homeland and went to Tatar, she would have to start all over again, and the position of a marquis might not be a good one.
The Marquis's wife had a nice idea, but she had no self-awareness and loved to indulge in youthful daydreams. She thought her son was a treasure that everyone loved, and she forgot what kind of person her son was. She knew that he was not worthy of Princess Xiangyun.
"I think so too. Princess Xiangyun is currently favored by the Emperor. If I could marry her, my son's career would be smooth sailing and he would rise to prominence. Even our Wei family would prosper because of Princess Xiangyun. We can imagine that, and so would the ministers in the court. They would definitely try every possible means to establish a relationship with Princess Xiangyun and want to marry her. After all, my influence is not great, and my son currently holds no official position, so it would be difficult for the Princess to favor him and marry him."
Marquis Anyang certainly wanted his son to marry Princess Xiangyun. This way, his son would have to work a few decades less in his official career. With the princess's status, his son's career would soar. However, he knew his son's character and what kind of material he was. It would be difficult for him to win the attention of such a remarkable woman as Princess Xiangyun.
Moreover, most of the legitimate sons of ministers in the court are talented, smart and capable. It is unlikely that Wang Shulinfeng's son will have a turn.
"You don't need to worry about this, my Lord. Leave everything to me. I have a way to help Chen'er marry Princess Xiangyun."
The Marquis's wife swore an oath.
Who was she? She loved flattery and fawning, and it was easy for her to deal with a rural-born Princess Xiangyun.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Madam!"
Marquis Anyang also believed she could do it. She was the same type as him, someone who would do anything to achieve their goals. Otherwise, he wouldn't have secretly allowed his mother and her to poison the princess and kill his own son for the sake of a concubine. Both he and his mother were cold-blooded.
"I will definitely live up to your trust, Lord. I will make Princess Xiangyun willingly and happily marry our Chen'er, and let her be willing to serve us."
The Marquis's wife said confidently.
A country woman, although a little smart, she still has no connections. If she wants to gain a foothold in the capital, she must have someone to rely on, and the Anyang Marquis Mansion is her reliance.
Therefore, the Marquis' wife was very sure that Princess Xiangyun would marry her son and make their Wei family prosperous and everlasting.
"I will wait and see, waiting for good news from Madam. I believe Madam will not let me down!"
Seeing that his wife was so confident, Marquis Anyang believed that she would not let him down and would definitely let Princess Xiangyun marry into the Marquis's Mansion and marry his son.
When his son Chen'er married Princess Xiangyun, he would be filled with joy when he saw the ministers who looked down on him and saw that they were not envious and jealous of him.
It is true that birds of a feather flock together. Both Marquis Anyang and his wife are too optimistic and self-righteous.
How could a princess fall in love with a prince, especially a prince without any official title?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent many gifts to the Princess's Mansion and Zhenbei Mansion, and Minister Liu also sent many gifts to Zhenbei Mansion and the Princess's Mansion.
The ministers in the court also asked their wives to send gifts to Zhenbei Mansion and the Princess Mansion.
Among them, the wife of Marquis Anyang also sent her housekeeper to deliver gifts to the princess's mansion, hoping to establish a good relationship with Princess Xiangyun.
Gao Zhijun returned to the Princess's residence and received many gifts. Canglang helped Gao Zhijun accept them one by one, recorded them, and gave her gifts in return.
"Princess, this is the gift list of the ministers who sent us gifts. Please take a look!"
When Canglang saw Gao Zhijun coming back, he handed her the list of gifts sent by the stewards of the ministers' mansions today.
Gao Zhijun took it, took a quick look, and then said to Canglang, "Thank you for your hard work today. Have you given them any gifts in return?"
"It's not hard. This is what I should do. I returned all the gifts sent by the ministers."
Canglang said truthfully.
He learned a lot from following the prince, so he gave him gifts in return.
"Well done, thank you for your hard work. From now on, everything in the Princess's Mansion will be handed over to you."
Gao Zhijun was very satisfied with Canglang's handling of the matter. Before finding a suitable housekeeper, she handed over all the matters in the princess's mansion to Canglang, as she believed that he was capable of doing the job.
"I will definitely take good care of the princess's mansion and will not let the princess down!"
Canglang said.
"Okay, go take the gifts to the warehouse, I'll go take a rest."
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she returned to her yard to rest.
Dealing with the Emperor, the Empress and the Queen Mother today made her feel very tired, even more tired than working.
Canglang went to find someone to deliver the gifts to the warehouse in the courtyard where the princess lived.
