Bobo and Shi Zhenyun were both of marriageable age, so their wedding was set for the following spring.
The reason it's not scheduled for this year is because Shi Zhenyun's side still needs to make preparations.
Bobo and Shi Zhenyun have settled down. No matter how many people in the capital gossip behind their backs, they are ultimately envious. With such a devoted father as the Emperor as a role model, Bobo is very likely to be a devoted lover as well.
Then everyone thought of Emperor Kangxi's father, Emperor Shunzhi, and Consort Dong'e, as well as Emperor Shunzhi's father, Emperor Taiji, and Consort Hailanzhu.
With three consecutive emperors being devoted lovers, the rumor that the Aisin Gioro clan's emperors were known for producing such devoted lovers has been firmly established.
Bobo's courtyard was very clean, and this was not just a claim made to outsiders; it was genuinely exceptionally clean. The servants who attended to Bobo were either eunuchs or nannies.
In any case, there wasn't a single pretty palace maid.
Given Bobo's noble status, it's unrealistic to say that no one with such ulterior motives would try to woo her; in fact, there certainly are.
Originally, there were young palace maids around Bobo, but they became too ambitious. Bobo didn't notice, but the nanny around him did. She gave them a few words of advice at first, telling them not to have any unrealistic ideas.
The nanny was given to her by Yunrong, so naturally she had Yunrong's instructions and would never let her master be attracted to such philandering men.
But the palace maids wouldn't listen to any advice and did take action. Unfortunately, Bobo was just an oblivious person. Seeing his father and mother playing music together in harmony, he could naturally see what the palace maids were thinking.
After realizing this, he had all the eligible palace maids around him dismissed. He didn't do anything wrong; those who wanted to leave the palace to get married did so, and those who didn't want to leave were sent to work elsewhere. No one could say anything was wrong with that.
Of course, it wasn't just the palace maids in his own courtyard who wanted to climb up the social ladder. The palace was so big, there were plenty of beautiful and cunning palace maids. If they succeeded, it would be like becoming a phoenix rising from the ashes.
With such dazzling wealth and prestige, it was impossible for those confident palace maids not to vie for a better future.
Before Bobo got engaged, he often encountered all sorts of palace maids. Bobo found it boring and didn't pay much attention to them at first. He thought he could protect them. However, after he was almost drugged once, Bobo realized that those palace maids were no longer a threat. They were truly terrifying.
Then Bobo asked his mother for help.
Yunrong is an easy-going person, but the fact that the women in the palace have been so quiet over the years is largely due to her control.
Yunrong does have her own methods.
After Yunrong's intervention, Bobo was finally free of this problem.
Bobo was like this before they got engaged, and it's been even more so after they got engaged.
Anyway, the area around me is incredibly clean.
Bobo has been busy again recently, so Shi Zhenyun has naturally been neglected. At first, Bobo didn't think anything of it. Bobo's personality, in modern terms, is a bit like a straight man.
Such a person can naturally avoid manipulative women, but is still not attentive enough when it comes to women.
He casually remarked that he felt Shi Zhenyun wasn't as close to him as before when he saw her earlier, and after Zhang Tingyu questioned him, he realized that he had been negligent.
But he was indeed very busy, and he didn't stop sending gifts, though he never delivered them in person.
It's no wonder Shi Zhenyun was suspicious. She had just agreed to come every day to be attentive, and now that she had finally been moved, the dog had stopped coming. Although the dog sent a servant to deliver things, compared to before, Shi Zhenyun still felt that she was not valued.
If things hadn't been so good at the beginning, Shi Zhenyun wouldn't have had any comparisons. As the saying goes, without comparison, there is no harm.
Now that Bobo knows the reason, he can no longer remain indifferent. He may be busy, but there are others who are not!
Beibei looked at her brother with disbelief: "Brother, what did you say?"
Bobo repeated, "I've been quite busy lately, so please visit the Shi residence more often when you have free time."
Beibei looked at all the nice things in front of her. Her brother was really generous; he really went all out to get her to go and be with her future sister-in-law.
Since the items were decent, Beibei said, "Alright then, but brother, I really didn't expect you to actually have such an enlightened day."
"What are you saying? You have no manners."
Beibei deliberately said, "As expected, now that you have a sister-in-law, I'm no longer important to you, brother. Sigh, the world is going to the dogs!"
Bobo knew she was just joking, so he ignored her.
After Bobo left, Beibei summoned a palace maid and then sent a visiting card to Shi Zhenyun.
Shi Zhenyun was also a little confused when she received the invitation. She had only met this princess once before, at Tantuo Temple. She could tell that the princess was a nice girl, but she couldn't understand why the princess wanted to see her, since it seemed to be out of the blue.
When Beibei arrived at the Shi residence, she naturally received the best reception. Firstly, she was a princess with a noble status, and secondly, she was Shi Zhenyun's future sister-in-law.
Some people say that whether you will have a good marriage depends half on whether your husband is considerate and the other half on whether your mother-in-law and sister-in-law are easy to get along with.
Of course, the premise is that you can't be too dramatic. If you're just being dramatic for a short time, there might still be a way to salvage the situation. But if you keep being dramatic for too long and go too far, even the best in-laws won't help.
Shi Zhenyun wanted to bow to Beibei, but Beibei quickly refused, saying, "We'll be family soon, so please don't be so polite, sister."
Shi Zhenyun felt a little embarrassed by what was said.
"Then thank you very much, Princess."
Beibei chatted with Shi Zhenyun about interesting things in the capital before turning the conversation to Bobo.
