Jingrou was surprised; her mouth opened wide, her pink lips forming a small circle.
This amused Consort Yi, perhaps because she was tormented by her devilish son. She was always worried that suspicious liquid would drip from Jingrou's mouth, since her unlucky son often did that!
And sometimes, her unlucky son, even though he didn't have teeth, would excitedly pounce on people when he saw them, and wouldn't stop until he smeared that suspicious liquid all over them. This was something that the clean-loving Consort Yi found unbearable.
Every time she saw him rushing towards her with a wide grin, Consort Yi would try to dodge if she could. If she couldn't dodge, she would have someone around her take her place. Her clothes were very expensive, and if something got on them, some of them would be unwearable!
"Auntie, I'm still young!" Don't think she doesn't know what marriage means. She's not some ignorant three-year-old who can be easily fooled!
After laughing to herself, Consort Yi's smile faded. She couldn't quite imagine what her little darling would look like when she got married.
How reluctant she would be to part with him then! How could any man be worthy of the little girl she had watched grow up? He must be perfect in every way. Consort Yi couldn't even imagine how outstanding a person could be to match her! In any case, she didn't want to think about such a thing now.
Compared to the joy of watching the little girl you've watched grow up and get married, it must be even harder to let go, it must feel like being cut by a knife!
If she gets married and can no longer visit the palace often, and can no longer be by her side, how unimaginable that is! How will I get through those lonely days in the palace without her company?
Actually, she could live her life before the girl entered the palace, but now that the girl has entered the palace, she feels that she can no longer bear to let her go out and reduce contact with her!
Consort Yi squatted down and hugged Jingrou. "Oh dear, it's a pity that I can't let you stay with your aunt for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you wouldn't get married. Your aunt would take care of you for the rest of your life. When your aunt gets old, can't stand up, and can't walk anymore, your cousin will take care of you!" she said unreliably.
If Empress Hesheli heard these words, she would definitely hold a grudge against Consort Yi. But there is no one else here now.
Besides, the girl isn't the type to tattle on others.
And judging from that brat's appearance, he'd definitely be willing! Look how much he adores his cousin; he'd be so happy if she could stay with him all the time!
As for the idea of marrying his niece to her, her son would never consider it. He probably felt there was something strange about it, like the Emperor and Empress Tongjia, who were cousins but never had a child. The little girl they had was weak and sickly and never grew up.
Even when Consort Yi was young, she had met a relative of hers, who was her cousin and her sister, who got married and gave birth to a deformed child. This left a deep scar on Consort Yi.
That's why she never considered marrying her cousin, nor would she pair her niece with her son!
My mother once considered marrying me off to my cousin, but she refused. So now she would never consider marrying her son!
She thought for a moment and continued, "Oh dear, your cousin is older than you, so he'll definitely be ahead of you in the future. When that time comes, you can have your younger cousin take care of you! Anyway, he's still young. It's okay for him to torment you like this when he's young, but he'll be filial to you when he grows up! Then you can go and get your revenge!"
Jingrou's eyes widened. Her little cousin was still so young, his bones were still soft, how could he bear such a big blame?
And does my little cousin know? He's probably still sleeping right now!
Jingrou suddenly understood why her maternal grandmother used to say that her aunt was very unreliable. She had thought that her grandmother had a little prejudice against her, since she used to be very dignified and elegant in front of her!
Consort Yi felt guilty and saw the shock in Jing Rou's eyes. Ah, she had always maintained a good image in front of her little niece, but what happened now?
Why did she suddenly seem to lose control? "Alright, alright, Auntie was just joking. My Zhuzhu is so wonderful, I can't bear to see her get married. If anyone wants to marry her in the future, they'll have to get past her brothers and cousins!" Consort Yi quickly tried to smooth things over.
As she spoke of this, Consort Yi felt a pang of sadness. Of course, she was reluctant to let her niece go, but this reluctance was different from the joy she felt when her younger sister was married off.
This reluctance is on a deeper level. After all, he knows that his sister can't stay unmarried and can't stay by his side forever, but his niece might not be able to!
Jingrou pouted, but ultimately decided not to dwell on the matter anymore!
Hmph! But Auntie has already revealed her little scheme, so she can't easily trust her auntie on this issue in the future!
The beautiful young woman finally entered the palace after the marriage of Lady Luo of Xiaoguoluo was settled.
Now, Lady Guo Luoluo has returned to Shengjing to prepare for her marriage. However, with her elder sister's arrangements and the completed procedures, Lord Guo Luoluo can no longer control her. Even though he can see Lady Guo Luoluo escaping his control, he can only glare and berate her, unable to do anything about it.
After all, although the procedures have been prepared, getting married is not a simple matter; it takes at least three months to complete all the steps!
She couldn't stay in the capital for the next three months, and Nale Shi also had to go back.
For the newly selected ladies-in-waiting, those of lower rank were feeling extremely threatened, as they had previously had low rank and few opportunities to receive the emperor's favor, making their lives very difficult.
Now a large number of competitors have entered the market, including several from prominent families. Doesn't this make their lives even more difficult?
When the emperor has a new favorite, where will they be?
On the other hand, those in higher positions seemed to have it easier this time, as if it had nothing to do with them.
First is Consort Hui. After her son's incident, her enthusiasm was dampened, and she adopted an "out of sight, out of mind" attitude towards the group of young ladies-in-waiting, since none of them would be her daughter-in-law!
She had originally thought that her daughter-in-law would be among them, but it seems that after her son grew up, her mindset aged, and she no longer thought about competing with the emperor for more favor.
Anyway, given her health, the risks of getting pregnant wouldn't even be enough to cover her physical condition.
