He Zhuo could sense that Yin Zhi had a certain fondness for her. She was one of the few people in the harem who had won Yin Zhi's favor. After giving birth to twins, she desperately wanted a son, but unfortunately, her body had already been damaged during childbirth and she could no longer have children. Of course, she herself was unaware of this.
This reveals what Yinzhi was thinking at the time.
However, Yinzhi did not mind that she could not have children, and he would still visit her room every month.
When Fan Gege said she would eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, she meant that if Zhuo Yun agreed to her request, she would no longer be involved in matters of the inner quarters.
Although she is now quite old, nearly 40, Prince Yinzhi still visits her every two months. Her practice of vegetarianism and chanting Buddhist prayers, which involves eating only vegetarian food daily, comes at a great cost.
He Zhuo stared at her intently for a long time, until Fan Gege's legs were numb from kneeling, before he heard the Fujin's voice.
"I'll consider what you've said. If there's nothing else, you can go now."
Fan Gege felt much relieved. Generally, a Fujin (principal wife) wouldn't agree to something; if she said she would consider it, it basically meant it was a done deal.
Of course, she wasn't just bluffing; she said she wouldn't eat meat, and she meant it.
She's willing to do anything for her daughter.
After Fan Gege left, He Zhuo Youyou said, "Parents who love their children will always plan far ahead for them."
In fact, when his two daughters were betrothed to the northern desert, Khoja had already considered sending Mongolian slaves. Although Xiao Zhenbao took most of them with her when she got married, some were still left over.
However, it's not good to rush into a deal. After all, Hezhuo is not their biological mother. If the two princesses think that giving them these slaves is a way to control them, that would be bad. Just in case!
However, since Princess Fan had come to ask for help and was even willing to practice vegetarianism and chant Buddhist scriptures, He Zhuo naturally had to grant her request.
"Bai Xia, go out of the manor later and select some of the Mongolian servants that Xiao Zhenbao left behind. Tell them truthfully that they are going to be part of the dowry for the Third and Fourth Princesses, and the indentures will also be given to the Third and Fourth Princesses. If any are willing, they can come to the manor tomorrow so that the two princesses can choose."
"Yes, this servant will go right away." Bai Xia curtsied.
"Oh, right, be careful. Don't go for those who are dishonest or cunning. They must be volunteers, otherwise they'll just be a hindrance," He Zhuo reminded him.
Bai Xia beamed with joy when she saw her revered mistress give such instructions. She knew that her mistress was kind and gentle. What family would be so attentive to a concubine's daughter? It was good enough if she wasn't persecuted. The Fujin even gave special instructions.
Bai Xia is a huge fan of He Zhuo, and thinks her master is the best in every way.
The following day, the third princess Fangning and the fourth princess Fangyun each selected eight Mongolian slaves, and Khoja immediately gave the two princesses their indentures.
The two princesses were deeply moved when they received the indentures from these servants, their eyes brimming with tears.
"Thank you, Mother. For many years, we daughters have been loved by Father and Mother, and we have been very happy in the household for the past ten years. After we get married, we will pray that Buddha will bless Mother and Father with good health."
……
The two princesses gave a very emotional speech, and He Zhuo was also somewhat moved, after all, he had raised them for a while.
He Zhuo personally wiped away the tears of the two princesses: "Don't worry, if anything goes wrong after you get married, just write back. Your father and Hongyu will definitely support you. Remember, stand tall. You are imperial granddaughters, descendants of the Aisin Gioro clan. You can't be so spineless."
