This can be said to be a common problem among military generals: they look down on thin, pedantic scholars.
Scholars also looked down on rude and domineering military generals.
However, it should be noted that the Second Princess's husband was six or seven years older than Hongwei and Hongshao, and not even as tall as Hongwei, so it's no wonder that Yinzhi didn't like him.
Zhuo Sheng's children are all martial arts prodigies, which he is very proud of. So, he is naturally full of complaints about this weak and incompetent son-in-law.
Besides being full of complaints, Yinzhi was also worried about his son-in-law's health, since in Yinzhi's eyes, such a person was not destined to live long.
He Zhuo glanced at him and said, "Only the person drinking the water knows whether it's hot or cold. I think the two of them are quite well-matched. It's obvious that Fang Wan has been doing well these past few days."
"You, as a father, only asked the Emperor for this marriage because your daughter is gentle and kind, right? Now you're complaining about that weak scholar. I know what you're worried about, isn't it? You're worried that the young man from the Li family isn't in good health. I gave him to the Second Princess as a physician, so how could the Second Princess not know whether he's in good health or not? We can just ask him later, can't we?"
He Zhuo wasn't just making things up; this young man from the Li family was actually quite healthy, though he looked thin. He Zhuo had already scanned him with his divine sense.
When Yinzhi heard his wife's words, he felt his thoughts had been exposed. He snorted, turned over, and went to sleep.
After the Second Princess and her husband Li Shu'ao returned to Jiangnan, Prince Zhi married off two more twin princesses.
One was in early June, and the other was at the end of June.
Both women married into the northern desert regions. Their dowries were handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department, while the wedding procession was a matter for the imperial clan. Both women were escorted by members of the imperial clan.
In addition to the two boxes of dowry that Khoja had given each of them, as well as a female physician and Mongol slaves.
On the day of their wedding, He Zhuo gave each person ten cartloads of grain, two cartloads of tea, and two large boxes of medicinal herbs.
Of course, these are all relatively common medicinal herbs.
However, even ordinary medicinal herbs are still precious in the northern desert.
Conditions in the northern desert are harsher than in the Horqin region. With these things, things will go more smoothly for the two of them when they arrive at their husbands' homes.
When sending his daughter off to her wedding, Yinzhi held Hezhuo's hand and said softly, "You are so kind, my lady."
What He Zhuo did was something that even his father, Yin Zhi, would never have imagined.
Soon, a few days after the fourth princess of the manor got married, the palace began to hold a selection of concubines.
This year's talent show is related to the marriages of He Zhuo's eldest and second sons.
Therefore, He Zhuo paid special attention to it. Under the guise of paying his respects to Consort Hui, he went to Chuxiu Palace to see the young ladies-in-waiting.
"This servant greets Consort Hui. May Consort Hui be blessed."
"This servant greets the Great Princess Consort. May the Great Princess Consort be blessed."
These are the voices of the young ladies-in-waiting, all of which have been trained by the palace matrons to sound the same.
Regardless of the tone of the young ladies' voices, everyone greeted each other with the same pace and tone, making them appear neat and orderly.
These young women had all passed the initial selection. Now, the young women in front of Consort Hui and the Grand Consort were all from the Manchu Banner Army, and there were seven or eight of them standing there gracefully.
Not only did Consort Hui know that He Zhuo's appearance was for her daughter-in-law, but the ladies-in-waiting present also knew.
This year, among the princes selected for the imperial concubine selection, the fifteenth prince, born to Consort Wang, will be choosing a primary consort. The heir and the second prince from the Prince Zhi family will also be choosing primary consorts.
Consort Wang, who would later become the famous Consort Mi, was of Han Chinese descent. Although she had several sons, she remained a concubine until the end of the Kangxi Emperor's reign when she was granted the title of Consort Mi.
