"Second Madam." The princess said indifferently.
"Princess, tomorrow is Zifeng's engagement day. Let's discuss how to go." The Second Lady explained her purpose with a smile.
Having received 12,000 taels of silver, she has been very busy these days, but she is also very happy.
"Zifeng proposed, and it was you, as his mother, who arranged it all. What else is there to discuss?" The princess was confused.
“Princess, although our Second Branch is also from the Rong Palace, it is the Second Branch after all. If Princess and Princess Consort go to propose marriage in person, I think the Ning’an Marquisate will be more willing, and it will also show that our Rong Palace attaches great importance to this marriage.” The Second Lady said with a flattering face.
"The day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. I will not be free tomorrow." The princess knew what he meant as soon as she heard it.
This is just to save her face.
"Sister Wang, you must help with this matter. Zifeng grew up in your care. If his father's mansion has honor, it will also bring honor to the children of our mansion." The Second Lady seldom called him Sister Wang, but in order to get closer to her, she was really shameless and started to act like a spoiled child.
"Princess, you must intervene in this matter. From now on, the Ning'an Marquis' Mansion and our palace will be relatives. This relationship must be maintained.
The third prince is now seventeen years old. Our palace is his maternal grandparents' home and will be his support in the future.
As his uncle, you can't just sit there and do nothing. We have to support him with these relationships."
The second old lady demanded very firmly.
“Second Madam, you have to think carefully before you speak. You have to know what to say and what not to say. We in the Rong Palace are iron-hatted princes. We only consider the people of Wei and are only loyal to Wei and the emperor. We don’t get involved in anything else.” Upon hearing this, the princess’ face turned cold.
"Hey, let's not talk about the Third Prince. As the eldest uncle, you have to support Zifeng's marriage so that he can hold his head up high in front of his wife in the future. The reason why Ning'an Marquis' Mansion agreed to this marriage is that they value our palace."
The Second Old Lady also knew that she had said the wrong thing and did not dare to mention the Third Prince's affairs again.
But she also knew why the An Ning Marquisate was willing to marry their third legitimate daughter to her grandson.
"Concubine Xi, let's help Second Aunt. When Third Miss Yue marries into our family, we sisters-in-law can get along better with each other. Sister-in-law, don't you think this makes sense?" Yu Chaoyang also advised, and pulled Yu Yuanzheng in.
The Third Miss Yue is Yue Yuying, the girl from the Ning'an Marquis' Mansion who is going to marry into the Rong Prince's Mansion.
Yu Yuanzheng wanted to roll her eyes. She was going to save face for others, so why drag her into it?
Could it be that this Third Miss is an important person? Yu Chaoyang wants to make an appointment in advance?
Thinking of this possibility, Yu Yuanzheng came up with an idea.
"Princess Li, how about your daughter-in-law go with you?" Yu Yuanzheng asked tentatively.
Since the Second House hadn't brought up the matter, the princess probably couldn't refuse.
If the princess does not go, the second house will definitely ask the prince for orders.
The two houses have not been separated. As the head of the family, it would definitely be more honorable for the princess to come forward to negotiate than for the second wife to go.
As the head of the palace, the prince would definitely let the princess go. The starting point of the prince's action must be for the entire palace.
After hearing this, Yu Chaoyang became unhappy.
How can I let her go?
The current princess is her, Yu Chaoyang, not her, Yu Yuanzheng.
"My dear, since you think it would be more honorable for me to go, I will give you this honor and let Zheng'er accompany me."
The princess now gives her daughter-in-law a lot of face.
As soon as her daughter-in-law persuaded her, she immediately changed her attitude.
"How can Ziqi's wife go to Zifei? She also has to take care of Ziqi." The second wife was a little unhappy.
"Just let Concubine Zi go." The second old lady gave a direct order.
"Then let Princess Ouzi go alone." The princess' face turned cold again.
Although Yu Chaoyang did not make things difficult for her, it was impossible for the princess to have no grudges in her heart when she thought about what she had done.
These days we just maintain a superficial relationship.
She is the elder and the head of the family, so it is impossible for her to be mean to a junior.
But that doesn't mean she doesn't have any objections.
Seeing that the princess was so tough, the second old lady and the second wife didn't dare to say anything more.
It is definitely more important for the princess to come forward than for the concubine to come forward.
"Then the princess and Ziqi's wife will go." The second lady gave in.
Yu Chaoyang glanced at Yu Yuanzheng angrily.
Such a great opportunity was snatched away by her.
When Miss Yue San entered the mansion a while ago, she received a lot of care from the second old lady, who also allowed her to make friends with the Princess of Nanhua County, who was married to her father-in-law at that time.
Later, at various banquets, the two sisters-in-law cooperated well with each other and got along well in Mrs. Li's circle.
Now that she is a princess consort, she certainly wants to have such a helper.
You have to know that the position of the princess consort in Prince Rong's mansion is very hated.
If she had a helper, she wouldn't suffer any loss when attending various public gatherings in the future.
"Princess Zi should go too." The Second Old Lady ignored the Second Madam's signal and insisted that Yu Chaoyang go as well.
The princess glanced at Yu Chaoyang, and Yu Chaoyang also looked at the princess eagerly.
"Princess Li, please let your daughter-in-law go with you." Yu Chaoyang pleaded pitifully.
"If you want to go, go ahead, but don't talk nonsense when the time comes." The princess nodded.
The main consideration for the betrothal is her, not the concubine, that is, the companion.
The two old ladies and their companions said goodbye and left after reaching their destination.
The next day was the fourth day of the eighth month.
Yu Yuanzheng brought only Zi Yue, a maid, to the main courtyard and waited to go to Ning'an Marquis' Mansion with the princess.
Jiang Hua has already left the house to teach people how to make pills.
She felt that she only had two maids and it seemed a little short of manpower.
Later I'll have to ask Madam Ye to find two more diligent and loyal maids among the servants in the courtyard and promote them to the posts.
The second house prepared twenty-eight loads of betrothal gifts, which was quite good for someone of Shangguan Zifeng's status.
At that time, when the royal palace went to the Yong'an Earl's Mansion to propose marriage to his daughter, the bride price was only thirty taels of silver.
When the time came, the princess asked the palace guards and servants to carry the betrothal gifts to the Ning'an Marquis Mansion, which was located in a certain area.
The Marquis' Mansion had already sent people to wait at the gate.
Upon hearing that the princess had arrived, the old lady and the eldest lady of the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion came out to greet her in person.
"Greetings, Princess Rong." The two were about to kneel down and kowtow, but were stopped by the princess.
"Old Marquis's wife, Marquis's wife, there is no need to be like this. Our two families will be relatives from now on, so we can't be so unfamiliar with each other."
"It is an honor for our humble home that the princess has come in person." The old marquis's wife smiled and took the princess' hand and led her inside.
Come to the main hall of the main courtyard and sit down.
"Junior greets the old marquis' wife, Madam Marquis." Yu Yuanzheng and Yu Chaoyang then stepped forward to greet her politely.
"Tutututut, both of the princess's daughters-in-law were born with such marks."
The old marquis's wife was also very experienced. When she knew something was happening in the palace, she would not praise the princess alone, but would praise both of them together.
"Come, I don't have anything, but since this is the first time we meet, I'll give you a little toy for you to enjoy." The old marquis's wife took the two boxes from the maid and handed them to the two men.
Yu Yuanzheng took it respectfully, returned to her seat and asked the maid to take it away.
But Yu Chaoyang quietly turned sideways and opened it to take a look.
Everyone noticed her little movements.
Just based on this point, the difference in cultivation between the two people is immediately apparent.
