By this time, most of the people who were supposed to arrive had arrived, and Yunrong introduced Qiu Wen again, praising her profusely.
Madam Zhang had heard of Qiu Wen, but had never met her before. Now that she had met her, she saw that she was praised by the Empress and got along well with the princess, so she must be a good person.
Of course, Mrs. Zhang didn't think much of it; at most, she just thought she was a nice girl.
Not long after, Yinzhen arrived with his men. Although there were men present, they didn't feel anything was inappropriate since this was the palace.
After having a couple of drinks at the banquet, Yinzhen asked, "Zhang Tingyu is not young anymore, has he settled down yet?"
"It hasn't been decided yet."
Yunrong said with a smile, "Your Majesty, many fine princesses have come today. Why don't you take a look at them? I've watched Tingyu grow up; he's a good boy."
Yinzhen smiled and asked Zhang Tingyu, "What does Tingyu think?"
Zhang Tingyu naturally understood the Emperor and Empress's intentions, and nodded, saying, "This servant will leave it entirely to the Emperor and Empress to decide."
Yinzhen was very happy, and then went along with it to finalize the marriage between Zhang Tingyu and Qiu Wen, bestowing the marriage upon them on the spot. Zhang Tingyu and Qiu Wen were both very happy, but they were very reserved on the surface and did not show it too much.
Although Mrs. Zhang was surprised, she had no objection to the marriage. Qiu Wen was good-looking and of good status. The only problem was that she hadn't chosen her son herself, and she was of Manchu ethnicity. She had originally wanted to find a wife for her son from a noble family.
However, the flaws do not outweigh the merits. It's good that the emperor has granted the marriage, so that the son won't keep making excuses. It's good that the marriage is settled.
Although Zhang Tingyu and Qiu Wen came out of the palace by different routes, they both breathed a sigh of relief, finally finding a safe path.
Once Zhang Tingxu's marriage was settled, Madam Zhang began making arrangements and started having many dealings with Hesheli.
Hesheli would naturally not say anything bad about Qiu Wen, and would say nice things as much as she wanted. Madam Zhang thought to herself, if Qiu Wen's stepmother can speak well of her, then no matter what is said, she must be a good person.
It's no wonder that Madam Zhang is so concerned about Zhang Tingyu's marriage. With her eldest son like that, she tries her best to find him a wife who is considerate and caring. But her second son will be the pillar of the family in the future, so his wife cannot be taken lightly.
