Although she felt she might be wasting her time, Jiaming still said, "Then, sir, please let me think about it and I'll answer you later."
Fourth Master agreed: "Alright."
While Jiaming was pondering, the Fourth Prince had someone bring Hongxu out, then hugged him and touched his face.
After a while, Jiaming's voice came from behind the screen: "I've thought it through. It's not me who's going to live with a wife. You should go ask Hongxuan what kind of wife he wants."
Fourth Master: "...Alright, I'll ask him when I have time."
After discussing with Jiaming and consulting with Hongxuan, the Fourth Prince had someone retrieve the information on the candidates for next year's imperial concubine selection and began choosing suitable wives for Hongxuan and Hongshi.
After all preparations were completed, the Fourth Prince selected several suitable candidates and personally went to the main courtyard of the Princess Consort to tell her about the upcoming selection of Princess Consorts for Hongshi and Hongxuan next year.
Of course, the Fourth Prince did not let his wife take full responsibility for the process. He personally selected the candidates and the alternates and then informed his wife of them.
The princess's face was not good. She felt that the master was not respecting her as the princess, as if he was worried that she would tamper with the selection of the princess's reward by the two illegitimate sons.

"I'm afraid you won't be in high spirits. After all, Honghui just left, and besides, you also need to take care of things here in Yongcheng."

Upon hearing this, the princess's expression softened, and she replied, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I am feeling much better recently, and I will manage the affairs of the manor well."
Once Fourth Master saw that she understood, he stopped saying anything.
He then changed the subject, asking, "Where's Yongcheng?"
Then, the couple started talking about Yongcheng.
But after a short while, after asking Yongcheng and having nothing more to say, there was a moment of silence before the Fourth Master said, "I have something to attend to, so I'll head back to the front yard first."
Granny Yao, Liu Hong, and the others were all anxious for the Fujin, wondering why she didn't keep the master a little longer. But the Fujin didn't care. Instead, she immediately put on her role as the head of the household and asked about the recent situation in the mansion.
Clearly, she took Fourth Master's words of admonition to heart.
