Just then, Madam Li and the eldest princess arrived!
"My wife and I are thinking that Moyaqi is getting older and is old enough to be a good match for a husband! What are your thoughts, mother and daughter?" Shirley went straight to the point.
Lady Li was pleasantly surprised and looked at Yinzhen with longing eyes.
Moyaqi looked at Xueli and then at Yinzhen, and stammered, "Mother, what do you think?"
Even Shirley and Yinzhen were somewhat surprised!
Li's expression was not very good.
Sherry smiled and said, "My idea is to find a family with a small number of members, good family traditions, and who can only take a concubine if they are forty years old and childless!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Li looked surprised, while the eldest princess's eyes lit up, and she curtsied, saying, "Then we'll trouble you, Mother! We'll listen to you!"
Sherry watched her smile happily. After all, the eldest princess was a shrewd woman who knew right from wrong!
"My daughter has also troubled her father!" The eldest princess seemed to have just remembered her father.
Yinzhen paused, holding the teacup, and responded with a sound of agreement.
Sherry tried hard to suppress her laughter, then looked at Madam Li: "This year, during the imperial concubine selection, Father Emperor will choose a consort for Hongyun. You can ask him if you have any thoughts!"
Li Shi couldn't hold back any longer, bowed to Xue Li, and moved closer to Yinzhen.
Yinzhen: ……(-ι_- )
Shirley took the eldest princess for a walk in the courtyard: "Remember this, you are the eldest princess of the Fourth Prince's mansion! No one in this world can bully you! If anyone makes you suffer, you make them suffer first! Understand? If all else fails, come back and complain, and your mother will beat them up for you!"
Regardless of anything else, the original owner had harmed Li's children, and now that they are behaving themselves, she wouldn't be so intolerant of them. Consider it a blessing for the original owner!
The eldest princess's aunt stared at Shirley in disbelief.
The eldest princess looked at Xue Li with sparkling eyes; she adored her stepmother.
Unsurprisingly, Yinzhen and Lady Li also heard these words!
Yinzhen looked at Xue Li's retreating figure with a gentle smile in his eyes.
Li was a little stunned. No wonder, her daughter was much closer to the Fujin than to her.
She used to think of her daughter as a lackey who would fawn over the princess all day long.
Looking back now, what the primary wife gave her daughter was confidence, but what she taught her daughter was how to please and restrain her.
Li was suddenly stunned. After a long pause, she finally stammered, "This concubine has no objection. I will listen to the Prince Consort and Master!"
Yinzhen was somewhat surprised; just a moment ago, Madam Li was praising her future daughter-in-law's family background, appearance, talent, and connections...
At this moment... Yinzhen looked at Xue Li strolling in the courtyard and the radiant Mo Yaqi, and his heart was filled with emotion!
He suddenly remembered what his mother and father had said: "When choosing a wife, choose a virtuous one!"
My wife is lively and cheerful, and our children are healthy, clever, and adorable!
As Yinzhen thought about these things, his gaze towards Xue Li softened even more.
Li glanced at Yinzhen discreetly and noticed that his gaze was not directed at her; her heart ached with bitterness.
Even when they were deeply in love, their master wasn't this gentle with her.
"Then, this concubine will take her leave! I'll trouble you and Master to take good care of me!" Li Shi, no longer wanting to stay, bowed and took her leave.
"Hmm! You may leave!" Yinzhen replied casually.
Mu Mian, who was standing guard outside, tried her best to keep a straight face. Consort Li was really interesting. Several times, she always addressed him as "Consort" before "Master"...
Yinzhen ordered people to investigate information, including the talents, character, family background, and concubines of young men aged 15-25 in the capital...
It was at this moment that Yinzhen realized that having a large number of concubines in the mansion before his wife had even entered the family was unacceptable!
Those people are not good enough for his daughter!
Thinking of this, I also thought of myself, how I had embarrassed the Princess Consort back then.
So much time has passed, and he suddenly realized how indifferent Sherry had seemed back then. If she didn't care, then it didn't matter, right?!
Thinking of this, Yinzhen felt a wave of annoyance! Fortunately, they had been together for many years, and she had changed a lot!
Yinzhen continued to think about his son-in-law's requirements with a frustrated expression!
Speaking of age, this was the age suggested by Shirley, but Yinzhen felt that someone too young was inappropriate.
Sherry casually added, "What, so men should date pretty girls, but women can't date handsome guys?"
Yinzhen's face turned ashen!
Seeing Shirley's defiant expression only made her angrier!
But upon further reflection, it actually makes a lot of sense.
But that doesn't stop him from believing that he is the one who is right!
Thus began the romance of the middle-aged couple!
Sherry: I heard that there are quite a few people who get married at this age in later generations. She's almost a grandson now!
The three little ones returned at dinner time.
After the family of five finished their meal, Shirley asked Honghui what he thought!
Honghui nodded and said, "I will listen to my mother. I have also spoken to my grandfather! I also want harmony between husband and wife so that our family can be at peace!"
Sherry was extremely satisfied and raised an eyebrow at Yinzhen.
Yinzhen couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xue Li's adorable face.
Then I heard my son say, "I hope that in the future my wife and I can be like Mother and Father!"
Yinzhen laughed even more heartily, while the two little ones looked on in a daze!
Hongzhao finished his meal in a few bites and wanted to play soccer with Hongjing, but Xueli gave him a look and the little guy quieted down!
"You two will probably wait 3 to 5 years before getting married, right?! Now is the time to learn!" Shirley instructed the two little ones.
"Mother, your son wants to learn the language from Uncle Jiu. Uncle Jiu is so amazing!" Hongjing's eyes were burning with desire.
Yinzhen's expression was somewhat complicated.
"Then I'll have to ask your father for help! Your Ninth Uncle is indeed very talented!" Shirley didn't hold back in praising the Ninth Uncle.
After all, that guy not only makes money, but he also creates new fonts.
He was fluent in Russian and, inspired by the Latin alphabet (Roman alphabet) which is somewhat similar to the Russian alphabet, created a 19-character alphabet based on the original 12 characters in the Manchu script.
He added and modified the Latin alphabet to spell Manchu, creating a new font that was simple and easy to learn.
He not only possesses high proficiency in Manchu and Chinese languages and a certain foundation in Russian, but also has a certain linguistic talent, high intelligence, and creativity.
Now, transcribing Manchu with the Latin alphabet has become an internationally accepted method for people to learn and record Manchu. This method was used by the Manchu people starting with Yinzhen.
Yinzhen nodded silently. He didn't get along well with the Eighth Prince, but he got along quite well with the Ninth Prince.
After all, they've collaborated on soap!
So when they meet, they feel a little affectionate, and since Hongjing often chases after Lao Jiu, he doesn't stop him!
Hongzhao was lively and active, and loved to practice with swords and spears!
He was always chasing after Fourteen, after all, they were close in age.
Fourteenth Brother disliked his fourth brother's deadpan face, but he liked the brothers Honghui, Hongzhao, and Hongjing very much.
Including Hongyun, that child's reaction is a bit slow, but he is focused!
Some of his uncles' children had made fun of him, but it was Honghui and his brothers who took care of him!
Therefore, not to mention how much respect Mrs. Li has for Shirley at this moment.
Even Empress Dowager Kangxi and Consort De doted on Honghui and his family!
Shirley thought to herself that Yinzhen's relationship with his brothers wasn't so strained because of her and her son!
