Xu Miaoqing smiled and said, "It's all thanks to His Majesty and Grandfather's excellent teaching that Yin'er has made some progress."
Zhu Yunying was not modest and said, "The eldest sons of our Zhu family are all magnanimous and have confidence in their words and deeds."
That's exactly the point. The eldest son of the Zhu family enjoys a secure position, is the center of attention, and receives unparalleled favor and resources. Under such circumstances, he naturally has a lot of confidence and assurance.
Zhu Yunying also said with a smile, "You and Yue'er should also discuss this in the next couple of days. Some members of the imperial family and nobles are of marriageable age. You should discuss it first and then report back to us. Yue'er will come along on this outing."
This is the important matter at hand. Xu Miaoqing also knows that as the Empress, she needs to do these things well; it is her duty.
Xu Miaoqing might not have much say in the marriage of the Crown Prince, or even the princes. However, she could have a say in the marriages of some princes and princesses.

The absence of palace intrigue and succession struggles might seem to deprive some enthusiasts of the fun and room for interpretation. However, for a dynasty, it's definitely a good thing!
