Lady Fucha thought Nianxia's words made sense. After Nianxia left, Mingyu called Caixiang over.
Since Nianxia arrived in the manor, Caixiang's status seemed to have plummeted, as Lady Fucha seemed to prefer Nianxia's intelligence and wit. Because of this, Caixiang secretly harbored a lot of resentment.
Cai Xiang arrived quickly.
“Caixiang, I need you to go back to the Fucha residence and tell my father to find a way to spread the news that the princess is unwilling to marry outside. Make sure this reaches the ears of the Third Master and the Fifth Master,” said Fucha.
Cai Xiang was a maid who had followed him into the palace, so he felt more at ease letting her handle this matter.
Cai Xiang nodded, kneeling slightly.
Lady Fucha glanced at Caixiang and realized that she had neglected Caixiang a bit lately, so she said, "Caixiang, you are the person I trust the most. This matter is of great importance, and you must do it well."
In the past, important matters were always handled by her. But since Nianxia came, she has basically been doing errands. As for why the important person asked her to do such things, she had no idea. Caixiang's resentment towards Nianxia grew stronger.
After Fucha finished explaining the matter, she dismissed Caixiang.
Niohuru clan, just wait and see what happens this time. I don't believe you can escape this time.
Soon, the news reached the ears of the Third Master and the Fifth Master. Their daughter had remained unmarried because she wanted to serve the court, but now that the court was at peace, their daughter had been forgotten.
Third Master invited Fifth Master to the mansion to discuss this matter.
"Third Brother, did you call me here this time for the wedding?" Fifth Master asked bluntly.
"Indeed, my two daughters are of marriageable age, but the Emperor is slow to choose husbands for them. As their father, I am very anxious!" The Third Master's face was flushed, and he looked very angry.
"Third Brother, don't be angry. Perhaps the Emperor has just forgotten about it. I heard that Consort Xi is currently selecting suitable candidates for them, so don't worry," Fifth Master comforted him from the side.
"This Consort Xi is not the Empress, yet she holds all the power in the harem in her own hands." Third Master already had a bad impression of Lanqin, and now he was even more annoyed by her.
Third Master realized that things couldn't continue like this, and he had to take some measures.
"Fifth Brother, I've called you here today to tell you that someone will be bringing up the matter of the princess's unwilling marriage in court tomorrow. I'm thinking of submitting a memorial together to make the Emperor feel a sense of urgency and draw his attention to it," the Third Master said.
Fifth Master came here to resolve this matter. His daughter was already sixteen and still hadn't found a husband. If word got out, wouldn't she be ridiculed? So Fifth Master readily agreed.
The next morning at court, Minister Li Xuan brought up the matter, saying, "Your Majesty, there are three princesses in the Prince's residence who have reached marriageable age but have not yet found suitable husbands. If this matter is not resolved, I fear it will hinder the continuation of the royal family."
Upon hearing the Minister's words, Fifth Master and Third Master hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why our daughters have not yet married is that we wish to do our part for the court. However, now that they have grown up and the court is becoming more and more peaceful, we would like to ask you to grant them marriage."
Fourth Master didn't expect them to bring this up suddenly, so he agreed for the time being.
