“Aunt, I’m just curious. I’ve heard that Qin Wang is very brave, and I think the newly recognized eldest daughter of General Su’s family is very suitable. General Su is a force to be reckoned with on the border, and if his eldest daughter marries into Bei Li, Bei Li will certainly not dare to treat her lightly.”
Su Ruojin?
The Empress Dowager's smile faded slightly: "Shuang'er, you should prepare well for the assessment at Ruien Academy. Once you graduate from Ruien Academy, you'll be able to choose any good man in the Great Chu."
Wei Yinshuang pouted: "Aunt, you know Shuang'er. Shuang'er only wants to marry the Regent. Aunt, please think of a way for Shuang'er."
Empress Dowager Wei pondered for a moment: "No rush. You should pass the assessment at Ruien Academy first, and your aunt will find a way to handle the rest."
"Shuang'er thanks Aunt." Wei Yingshuang left Cining Palace happily.
As long as her aunt, the Empress Dowager, is willing to help her, she is destined to marry the Regent.
When Wei Yinshuang passed through the Imperial Garden on her way out of the palace, she saw Consort Chun admiring the flowers.
A slight smile played on her lips as she walked over and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Consort Chun."
Consort Chun shifted her gaze from the pot of eighteen scholars to Wei Yingshuang, a hint of barely perceptible mockery flashing in her eyes.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Consort Xie. Your Highness has come to admire the flowers. The flowers in the Imperial Garden are truly beautiful. Even though it's almost winter, the garden is still full of vibrant colors. I've heard that the flowers in the Regent's Palace are also quite lovely. Next year, I will certainly invite Your Highness to the Palace to admire the flowers. I hope that Your Highness will do me the honor of visiting the Regent's Palace then."
Wei Yinshuang wore a smug look on her face.
Consort Chun's eyes were filled with even more sarcasm: "Princess Fengxi, do you really think that you can become the Regent's Consort without me?"
Wei Yingshuang raised her head slightly, "Why not?"
Consort Chun burst into laughter, "Then I wish Princess Fengxi all her wishes come true."
After saying that, Consort Chun turned and left, leaving Wei Yinshuang somewhat stunned. What did Consort Chun mean by those words?
Since Aya could no longer speak, it was no longer convenient for her to stay by Consort Chun's side at all times.
Consort Chun's newly promoted head palace maid, Shanxiu, asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Princess Fengxi has the Empress Dowager's backing. Will the Empress Dowager really betroth her to the Regent?"
Consort Chun sneered: "If the Regent Prince could listen to the Empress Dowager, Wei Yinshuang would have been the Regent Prince's wife long ago. Why wait until now? Besides, once Uncle Qin Prince arrives, there will be a good show waiting for Wei Yinshuang."
If it weren't for her letter, how could my brother have proposed a marriage alliance to the Great Chu?
The fact that her cousin, who was loyal to the king, was a grand gift she had prepared for Wei Yingshuang was a gift she had prepared for her.
Wei Yinshuang, just wait and see, whether you become the Regent's Consort or the Princess Consort of Bei Liqin.
The Great Chu was making preparations for the arrival of the Northern Li envoy. After finishing his work, Xiao Yanchu missed A Jin very much.
He was about to assign the remaining unimportant matters to Shen Yu and go to Yunqi to pick up A Jin.
Suddenly, news came from Xingtai Prefecture, a coastal city in the south, that a hurricane had caused widespread flooding of farmland, destruction of farmhouses, and displacement of residents.
The imperial court urgently allocated disaster relief funds and appointed Wang Shun, the Minister of Revenue, as imperial commissioner to carry out disaster relief work.
At Lord Wang's strong recommendation, Xiao Chen also made an exception and allowed Wei Xuelin, the third son of the Duke of Dingguo, to go and assist.
With a major disaster occurring in the country, Xiao Yanchu, as regent, could not leave. He had to put aside his idea of going to Yunqi to bring Su Ruojin back and devote all his efforts to disaster relief in Xingtaizhou.
A few days later, Su Ruojin also received a message from the Dark Alliance via carrier pigeon, informing her of the hurricane disaster in Xingtaizhou.
She sent a message to the Heavenly Physician Pavilion, instructing them to send a doctor with 100,000 taels of silver to Xingtaizhou to treat the people, as was their custom.
After arranging these matters, Su Ruojin focused her attention on treating Old Madam Lin.
As for the fact that both the General's Mansion and Xiao Yanchu's letters to her mentioned that she had been granted the title of Princess Chang Le, she did not take it to heart.
Just after finishing her acupuncture treatment that day, the old lady looked at Su Ruojin and suddenly uttered two words: "Ning'er".
