When Jingrou returned from the Imperial Garden, her face was flushed. Naturally, this easily caught the attention of Consort Yi. Her niece's actions over the past two days had certainly drawn her attention, not to mention that she had also gleaned some information from the Emperor's side.
After all, she hadn't held the position of a favored concubine in the imperial harem for so many years for nothing; she must have had some connections of her own.
Consort Yi was not surprised that the two had developed feelings for each other.
Given that the Crown Prince is such an outstanding and cunning man, it wouldn't be surprising if Jingrou developed feelings for him through his deliberate seduction or intentional actions.
Consort Yi said this not because she was dissatisfied with the Crown Prince, or because she felt that the Crown Prince's actions were problematic, as he was trying to abduct her niece. Of course, Consort Yi had her objections!
But she was considering things more realistically, perhaps because of his situation in the palace.
Zhuzhu is growing up and will definitely get married, no matter how reluctant the people in Prince An's mansion are to let her go.
If she were to marry, Consort Yi would have two options. One of them would be to choose someone from a relatively ordinary family background, not so outstanding, but of noble character. However, such a person is not easy to find, and time will tell.
Perhaps what they investigated or learned in their daily lives was not the whole story about that man.
Prince An and Princess An are currently in relatively good health and can protect him. But who can predict what the future holds? Even Consort Yi's actions are restricted because she is in the palace. If Zhuzhu is bullied outside the palace in the future, Consort Yi will probably find it difficult to intervene.
Ultimately, it was still her maternal family; she wasn't rooted in the capital, but in Shengjing.
Moreover, there are some risks involved in a girl marrying down. If she chooses an ambitious man who is willing to climb the social ladder, wouldn't it still be equivalent to marrying someone of high status and power once that man has climbed up? But if the other party is content with the status quo and has no ambition, Consort Yi also feels that her daughter Zhuzhu would not be interested in him.
Although she was just a servant, Consort Yi was extremely worried and considered this matter no less than Princess An!
Of course, there is another way: to marry someone of noble birth, living under the watchful eyes of everyone, or even someone who can be a role model. If you were to choose such a person, then the only one who would be perfect in every way would probably be the Crown Prince.
Even if you were to pick out another person and place them in front of the Crown Prince, they would probably pale in comparison.
But the royal family is not easy to enter, which is also what worries Consort Yi. However, even if it is difficult to enter, the emperor does not have an empress now, and the empress dowager is very kind. Once she marries in, she will not have a proper mother-in-law, so she will definitely encounter far fewer troubles!
Even if any difficulties arise, she could certainly lend a hand while staying in the palace. Therefore, Consort Yi was somewhat pleased that Jingrou had fallen for the Crown Prince.
Being a woman is indeed difficult. Getting married is like another hurdle in life. If you marry the wrong person, you may feel regretful for a while, or even ruin your life.
"Our Zhuzhu has really grown up. She's already starting to have little secrets to keep from her aunt!" Consort Yi teased. Looking at her delicate little face and her budding beauty, the Crown Prince certainly had good taste. He took a liking to their Zhuzhu at first sight, and before she even reached the age of marriage, he couldn't wait to pull her to his side immediately!
