The imperial decree of marriage quickly reached Niohuru Yuyin's hands. She was shocked to hear from the palace eunuchs that the emperor was going to marry another concubine.
However, she showed no sign of it on her face, and treated the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree to good food and drink before sending him away.
Back in her room, Niohuru Yuyin's maid asked in confusion, "When the Emperor's decree came down before, wasn't it only bestowed upon the Seventeenth Prince, Miss? How come there's another concubine now?"
Niohuru Yuyin was equally surprised, but quickly came to terms with it. "It is common for the Emperor's will to be unpredictable. Fortunately, Miss Meng is only a secondary consort, while I am the primary consort."
She quickly relaxed, and the thought of Seventeen's handsome and dashing appearance brought a smile to her face.
With this imperial decree, she could finally be with the Seventeenth Prince and finally fulfill her long-cherished wish.
Niohuru Yuyin said to her maid, "Get ready, we're going to the Yuanmingyuan to pay our respects to my cousin."
The maid nodded and quickly ordered a sedan chair to be prepared. After Niohuru Yuyin changed her clothes, they headed towards the Yuanmingyuan Garden.
Every plant and tree in the Yuanmingyuan Garden was carefully cultivated by gardeners, and the palaces, large and small, were decorated in an extremely luxurious manner. Living in the Yuanmingyuan Garden, one could spend their days looking at these well-arranged palaces and admiring the flowers, plants, and trees, which was extremely pleasing to the eye.
Niohuru Yuyin walked through flowers and willows, already familiar with the place where Lanqin lived, and soon arrived.
In Lanqin's room, she had already heard that Niu Hulu Yuyin would be coming, so she had made preparations early on. When she saw Lanqin come in from outside, she smiled and welcomed her in.
Niu Hulu Yuyin entered Lanqin's room and said with a smile, "I missed my cousin very much, so I came over to sit for a while."
Lanqin said, "I only hope you will come more often in the future."
The two sat down in the room and chatted for a while. Niu Hulu Yuyin was very beautiful, and Lanqin liked her very much. She felt very comfortable talking to her.
As they were talking, they suddenly remembered the matter of Emperor Yongzheng bestowing a marriage upon them. Lanqin said, "I never expected that when the Emperor bestowed a marriage upon the Seventeenth Prince, he would choose you and Miss Meng at once."
Lanqin also knew about this.
When she first heard the news, she was very surprised, but recalling history, the Seventeenth Prince did indeed marry two women.
Although she liked Niohuru Yuyin and had never met Meng Jingxian, she had heard that Meng Jingxian was very gentle and charming, the kind of gentle and attractive woman that men liked. She had a fairly good impression of Meng Jingxian.
Although she tried her best to help Niohuru Yuyin, the course of history was irreversible, and everything that was meant to happen would happen slowly according to the will of Heaven. Although she was surprised, there was nothing she could do.
Upon hearing this, Niohuru Yuyin smiled and said, "Yes, I am very fortunate to be betrothed by the Emperor to the Seventeenth Prince as his wife. I am already very satisfied. I imagine that Miss Meng is also an easy person to get along with."
Since the matter had already been irreversibly decided, Lanqin could only comfort Niohuru Yuyin. Fortunately, Niohuru Yuyin was very sensible and didn't mind the arrangement. This made Lanqin like Niohuru Yuyin's generous and easygoing nature even more.
Lanqin said, "After you marry the Seventeenth Prince, we will be even closer relatives. We will be cousins and sisters-in-law, and we will have more opportunities to meet."
Niu Hulu Yuyin nodded, a hopeful smile on her face. "I just wanted to get closer to my cousin. If we could become even closer, that would be wonderful."
