After the birthday banquet of the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong, everyone knew about the "romantic deeds" of the second prince, and the second prince had no choice but to take the girl from the side branch of the Xiao family into the palace.
And because that girl was at least a cousin of the current empress dowager and Concubine Xiao Shu, she could not be left without a name or status, so she was also given the title of concubine and listed in the
imperial genealogy. The second prince got married not long after Xue Qin got married, and it was the girl from the family of the inner cabinet scholar that Princess Guihe wanted to see before.
Everyone thought that the girl from the family of the inner cabinet scholar would be quiet and calm, but she was a jealous person. After the two got married, the second prince would get angry if he stayed at other people's houses, or even looked at the beautiful palace maids for a few more times. Now that he has a concubine who is listed in the imperial edict, the Second Prince's wife has been making trouble with him for more than a month, making him restless in his bedroom.
At this time, the Second Prince is about to leave the palace to be crowned as a king, and he is fighting with the Crown Prince's faction. Coupled with the Second Prince's wife's trouble, he is even more busy.
When he is restless, the Crown Prince is peaceful.
Xue Zhi has been coming back very early for several days in a row. Firstly, his affairs have not been very busy recently, and secondly, he is naturally concerned about Zheng Xiu.
Zheng Xiu is about to get married, but she is not idle either. She wants to help Zheng Xiu find a good marriage.
Mrs. Hanlin had planned on Zheng Xian before, and although it didn't work out, it was bad for a girl like Zheng Xian.
Zheng Xiu was also worried about her and wanted to let her settle down sooner.
Her uncle and aunt were unreliable, and Zheng Rong was still young. After all, she was the only one who could help with the plan.
Thinking about this, Zheng Xiu became more and more restless and always went to Changfeng Garden.
She didn't have many connections in the capital, and she couldn't go out recently because of her bulging belly. Zheng Xiu didn't expect to marry her sister into the royal family, but hoped to use Princess Guihe's connections to find a candidate.
Princess Guihe was also a smart person. Zheng Xiu went there twice and asked indirectly, and she knew what she was thinking.
Princess Guihe also teased her, saying, "If you want to find a good marriage for your cousin, just say it directly. Is it necessary to come here every day with a pregnant belly under the sun?"
Zheng Xiu also laughed, "I am a little embarrassed. I haven't asked you for anything in such a long time, but this matter is in your hands."
Princess Guihe nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you, you just need to rest assured and take care of the baby, and don't worry about this and that all day long."
Zheng Xiu didn't feel unhappy when she was scolded, she just smiled and agreed.
Princess Guihe agreed to her request, and naturally did it with great care. Within two days, she had someone collect a bunch of information about unmarried young men who were looking for a date. In order to save Zheng Xiu from running back and forth, she went to Hao Yetang in person.
The weather in May was already hot, and Princess Guihe was sweating all over when she arrived at Hao Yetang from Changfeng Garden.
Zheng Xiu hurriedly asked someone to make a handkerchief with well water to wipe her, and also asked someone to bring her some iced plum soup.
She was now in her advanced stage of pregnancy, so she didn't need ice, and the room seemed a little stuffy. Princess Guihe wiped the sweat off her face, drank the plum soup, and sat with Zheng Xiu to talk. Zheng Xiu then held a round fan and fanned her.
Princess Guihe glanced at Qiurui beside her, and Qiurui took the round fan without hesitation, saying with a smile: "Second Madam, please let me serve you."
Zheng Xiu nodded, turned around and smiled and said to Princess Guihe: "If you have something to do, just send someone to inform me. Why do you come in person in such a hot day?" Princess
Guihe turned around and gave an order, and Chunzhi, another big maid who followed her, put a stack of business cards on the table.
"This is..." Zheng Xiu didn't understand for a moment.
Princess Guihe said: "Didn't you think about finding a good marriage for your cousin the other day? How come you have forgotten it now?"
Zheng Xiu was surprised and said: "I didn't forget it, but I didn't expect you to act so quickly." Then she flipped through the business cards on the table.
It would have been better if she hadn't looked at it. After looking at it, Zheng Xiu was really shocked.
Princess Guihe picked out young talents from famous families in the capital, all of whom were sons of noble royal families.
Zheng Xiu took a look and said with difficulty, "I don't think the families you picked are suitable..." Princess Guihe raised her eyebrows, "Oh? But you think none of them are good? It doesn't matter, anyway, they are just selected by the people below in the past few days. If you think they are not good, I will ask someone to look for them again."
Zheng Xiu immediately said, "That's not what I meant. The families you picked are too good. My cousin... can't afford them."
Princess Guihe curled her lips, "What's so special about marrying up or not? Just take a look. As long as you like the family, I guarantee that the other party won't dare to say a word of 'no'." Although these candidates are all from wealthy and powerful families, they are not the eldest sons who inherit the title. With her as a matchmaker, I think those people will not be shameless.
However, Zheng Xiu was unwilling to use the power of Princess Guihe to intimidate others. After all, Zheng Xiu was going to spend her whole life with the other party. If the other party didn't like this marriage from the bottom of his heart,
he would naturally suffer in the future. She thought about it and shook her head and said, "Right now, it's still important to pay attention to the matching of family backgrounds. My cousin is a contented person. She would not dare to refuse these families if you tell her about them."
"Think about it carefully. These are all good families. Why don't you ask your cousin and then make a decision?"
Zheng Xiu still shook her head. "The family you picked is good, but it's not very suitable. Let alone other things, after she gets married, the sisters-in-law will compare with each other and it will be difficult."
She was firm in her attitude, and Princess Guihe didn't say anything more.
Zheng Xiu was afraid that she would be unhappy, so she smiled and said, "Although she is not suitable, I would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of my cousin." Then she stood up and bowed to Princess Guihe.
Princess Guihe held her hand and said, "Since you don't like it, I'll ask someone to find a solution. You don't have to be so polite."
Seeing that she didn't look unhappy, Zheng Xiu smiled and said, "You are so kind, I really don't know how to repay you."
Princess Guihe curled her lips and smiled, saying, "I don't need you to repay me. After you give birth to the child, just lend it to me to hold for a few days. Now Mian'er has grown up, and he is becoming more and more like a little adult and boring."
