Chang Lanshi received an imperial edict that Consort Guo Ning, who was acting as the head of the inner palace, bestowed three imperial horses and three sets of armor on behalf of the emperor. These were for the three young masters of the Chang family.
After confirming Chang Mao's performance during this period, Consort Guo revealed some news. The Princess Consort of Yan died after giving birth to a daughter, and the second daughter of the Prince of Zhongshan's family had reached marriageable age. She was a good match for the Crown Prince, and it was said that the Crown Prince's two younger sisters had a good relationship with the second daughter of the Xu family.
I understand, I understand everything!
Lady Chang was both pleased and worried. It seemed that in His Majesty's eyes, the Crown Prince's position was incredibly secure. Although the Chang clan was showing signs of decline, Lan Yu was now the only one carrying the torch. This stemmed from a concern that Lan Yu, not being a member of the Chang family, might not be able to fully protect the Crown Prince, thus binding the Xu family to him.
This also serves as a check and balance against Lan Yu.
The Crown Prince's position is indeed secure, but the Chang family might just become ordinary maternal relatives in the future. After all, the three sons of the Chang family have limited abilities. Xu Yungong, the Duke of Wei from the Xu family, is not only working for the Crown Prince himself, but is also a well-known young talent in the Ming Dynasty.
The Xu family also had mixed feelings. Their eldest daughter had passed away, and suddenly news spread that their second daughter had been chosen and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, would become the Crown Prince's consort.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing? How did this happen? The Xu family has mixed feelings.
While it was rumored that the Crown Prince's consort would be the second daughter of the Prince of Zhongshan, Consort Guo Ning submitted a memorial requesting that Lian Zining, the second-place scholar in the imperial examination of the year Yichou, be made a virtuous and elegant concubine of the Crown Prince.
There are no girl group members, no Dilraba or Gulnazar, the principal wife is from a noble family, and the concubines represent the civil official group. The Crown Prince's harem is not so easy to manage; it is a matter of great importance to the country and the stability of the court.
As soon as they returned to the palace, Zhu Xi ran over with a grin, "Brother, no wonder you always had Miaoqing come shopping with us before, it turns out you had already chosen her!"
Zhu Xiong Ying said irritably, "That's your sister-in-law!"
Not to be outdone, Zhu Yue ran over and said, "My sister-in-law isn't even as old as my older sister! Brother, my sister-in-law is already married, when are my sister and I finally able to move to the princess's residence?"
Zhu Xiong Ying rolled her eyes at the younger sister and said irritably, "Wait a little longer. You can talk about marriage after I get married. Two years, please wait a little longer, there's no rush."
Wang Chengen walked over and said softly, "Your Highness, His Majesty has decreed that we should go to the Qianqing Palace."
Looking at her two somewhat envious younger sisters, Zhu Xiong Ying said, "Call the second brother, I'll take you there!"
The second son, naturally, is Zhu Yunwen. In front of outsiders, Zhu Yunwen is the 'second son'. There's a difference between a half-brother and a full brother...
