With Yinzhen acting as matchmaker, the marriage was quickly arranged. It was an honor for the Guoluo family to be able to establish a marriage alliance with the Yong Prince's Mansion.
Having settled the marriage of the eldest princess, Yunyi and Yinzhen also chose a husband for the second princess, a son of the Minister of Revenue from the Xilin Gioro clan.
Unexpectedly, when Yunyi told Zhangjia about this, she heard some shocking news.
Although Zhangjia's words were vague and she didn't specify who it was, the meaning behind them was clear.
Zhangjia meant that the Second Princess admired her nephew Hengjin and hoped that the Fujin, namely Yunyi, could ask Lady Nara if she was willing to arrange a marriage.
Yunyi was genuinely surprised. When did the Second Princess meet Hengjin? This child doesn't come to the manor often, so he probably hasn't met the Second Princess before. How did the two of them get to know each other?
Yunyi didn't force herself to understand, but after carefully considering Zhangjia's words, she felt they were feasible.
Although the Second Princess was born to Li, Li didn't care about the child at all, raising her to be timid, weak, and submissive, and she looked petty.
However, after Li's death, the second princess was raised by Zhangjia. After years of education, the second princess has successfully transformed into a dignified, generous, and gentle princess of the royal family.
Lady Zhangjia was a very good mother. Although she had never given birth, she had no feelings for Yinzhen and no desire to compete for his favor. She devoted herself to teaching the Second Princess and raised the girl very well.
Because of Zhangjia, Yunyi had a deep relationship with the Second Princess and knew what kind of child she was.
After careful consideration, Yunyi couldn't see any downsides to the Second Princess marrying into the Nala family; it seemed like a pretty good idea.
Yunyi did not immediately agree to Zhangjia's request; she only said she would ask around but could not guarantee the outcome.
Zhang Jia smiled and agreed. She wasn't the kind of person to be aggressive. She said it was fine to ask about it, and whether it would work out or not depended on the fate of the two children.
Furthermore, this was not the Second Princess's request; it was because I discovered her affection for Young Master Nara, and out of our years of friendship, I wanted to help my adopted daughter.
She knew she might not succeed, but she had no one she admired. When she discovered that her adopted daughter had someone she liked, Zhangjia didn't want her to have any regrets.
Yunyi acted quickly, telling Yinzhen about it that very night and asking him to see if it was acceptable.
Yinzhen naturally wouldn't object. He knew about the relationship between his wife and Lady Zhangjia, so it wasn't surprising that he would express this idea.
Not long after, Yunyi sent her sister-in-law from her maternal family to the mansion to subtly inquire whether Hengjin had a marriage or a girl he liked.
After receiving the result of "nothing," Yunyi began to discuss the main topic of the day.
Upon hearing what the Princess Consort of Prince Yong said, Lady Wanyan thought she had misheard. The Princess Consort actually wanted to betroth the Second Princess of the household to her son.
She had seen the Second Princess many times at banquets of all sizes. She was extremely well-mannered and was one of the best among the noble ladies in the capital. Even if you counted the princesses in the various princely mansions, the Second Princess would still be ranked among the best.
What merit or ability does her son have to marry such a beautiful and intelligent girl?
Moreover, the Second Princess's adoptive mother was Lady Zhangjia, and Consort Min in the palace was Lady Zhangjia's aunt, while Prince Yi was Lady Zhangjia's cousin. Although Lady Zhangjia was only a princess, her status was not low.
Regarding this marriage, Wanyan felt that her family was marrying above their station, but as expected of the matriarch of the Nara family, she was very clever.
She knew that the three princesses in the mansion were still young, quite a bit younger than her son.
The eldest and second princesses were about the same age as their son, but in truth, the second princess's adoptive mother, Lady Zhangjia, was closer to the Fujin than Lady Song.
Even just looking at the people themselves, the second princess is much more outstanding than the eldest princess. Considering all of this, this is truly a good marriage.
Lady Wanyan made a quick decision and immediately agreed to the marriage. If she didn't take such a good opportunity, it would be given to someone else.
Yunyi thought she would have to say more, but she didn't expect her sister-in-law to agree so quickly. So she swallowed the words she had prepared and changed the subject to other things.
The marriages of the eldest and second daughters of the household were officially arranged, but due to their age and because their father, Yinzhen, was reluctant to let his two daughters marry too early, the wedding date was set for three years later.
Honghui suddenly found himself transformed from a childhood friend who had been studying with him into his second brother-in-law. He didn't know why this was happening, but he began to feel somewhat uncomfortable with his cousin, who was also his study companion and brother-in-law.
The marriage was arranged, but the actual wedding date was still far off. Honghui took it upon himself to monitor Hengjin and see if he was suitable to be his future brother-in-law.
Of course, Honghui didn't forget his brother-in-law either, but he was too busy to look after one of them, so he left the task of looking after the other to a young eunuch.
Yinzhen had investigated the newly selected son-in-law and found no problems. Honghui had also observed the situation for a long time but found no issues, so he finally accepted the two future brothers-in-law with peace of mind.
Time flies, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, nothing major happened in the capital, and the court fell into a brief period of calm.
Because of his competence, Yinzhi was appointed by Emperor Kangxi as the head of the Imperial Household Department, in charge of all affairs in the palace. This was not only a position with great responsibility, but also a very lucrative one.
Winning people's hearts is a time-consuming and expensive endeavor. Yinzhi has always presented himself as virtuous and gentle. If his subordinates were to get into trouble, would he stand by and do nothing to help? That would not fit his public image.
So everyone knows that if you need anything, go to Prince Lian. He is a very kind person and will definitely help you.
In his previous life, Yinzhi had his Ninth Prince, Yintang, as a walking money vault. Whenever he ran out of money, he would go to his Ninth Brother for a little something, and he wouldn't say anything.
In this life, due to Yunyi's intervention, Yintang became Yinzhen's good brother, while his relationship with his eighth brother, Yinsi, was lukewarm.
Even if Yinzhen had money, he wouldn't spend it carelessly on his ninth brother. If he really wanted to give it to someone, the only person he would willingly give it to would be his fourth brother, Yinzhen.
Without the support of a mobile treasury, Yinzhi's act of being a good guy didn't last long before he ran out of money.
At this moment, he actually turned his gaze to the spot where he was sitting.
He was also incredibly audacious and reckless, thinking that with the Sakda clan around, the fourth prince was nothing. As a result, Yinzhi became increasingly arrogant and did many bad things in his current position.
In the short term, it's fine; with Yinzhi's intelligence, no one will notice the problem. But as time goes on, the problem will be easily discovered.
Moreover, the truth will eventually come out. Yinzhi thought that what he had done was so perfect that it would not be discovered, but only a month or two later, he was discovered by Kangxi.
