As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Qining and her family of three walked in.
Princess Qining is the old prince's younger sister. Ever since the old prince passed away, Princess Qining and Zhao Changshi and his wife have been helping to manage the affairs inside and outside the palace, hoping that their daughter Zhao Yingying could marry into the palace. They never thought that they would be overshadowed by an unknown wild girl.
"Aunt, what are you talking about? How could the royal family be extinct?"
Zhao Yingying curled her lips and said, "They say good things should be kept within the family. When my aunt asked my cousin to marry the daughter of the Ji family, I thought it was all for the sake of the palace's great cause. But now my cousin has gone to such lengths for a country girl. Aunt, where can I put my face?"
Princess Qining also spoke in dissatisfaction: "Sister-in-law, what Yingying said is not unreasonable. Yingying is the prince's niece. You let Mingchi leave Yingying and marry a wild girl with no family background. Aren't you deliberately making a fool of yourself?"
"It is precisely because Yingying is her uncle's niece that I don't want her to have anything to do with Mingchi."
Looking at Zhao Yingying, Concubine Zhang said in a deep voice, "You grew up with your cousin. He hasn't had any romantic feelings for you in all these years. Wouldn't it be even more awkward if I forced the two of you together?"
Zhao Yingying pouted her lips, obviously not convinced.
Concubine Zhang sighed deeply. "As women, if we rush to seek a marriage, we will only degrade ourselves. He doesn't want to spend time on you before you get married. Do you really expect your cousin to be around you after he gets married?"
At this time, Yan Jin also returned to the mansion with gifts.
Concubine Zhang was so anxious that she asked hurriedly, "How is it? Have you found my daughter-in-law?"
"Your Highness, I have found it."
Yan Jin's face drooped: "But that girl is the daughter of the Prime Minister whose engagement was broken off by His Highness himself."
