"You should stop thinking about her. Even if you stop her now, what difference will it make? Can you stop her next time? She's still young, it's not time for her to get married right away. Once you've finished your business, everything should be fine." The Fourth Prince spoke calmly, unlike him who was so worried.
But the Thirteenth Prince felt restless and uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
Since Tenth Brother likes Heyue so much, and Heyue gets along very well with him, could it be that she has fallen for Tenth Brother?
Then she wondered, how could she possibly like someone like Tenth Brother?
She remembered that her tenth brother's household already had a concubine, whom he was said to be extremely favored. Wasn't she afraid of being wronged in the future?
He didn't even consider that he was about to marry a concubine himself.
Thinking of this, the Thirteenth Prince jumped up, rushed to the Fourth Prince's desk, braced his hands on the edge of the desk, and stared intently at the Fourth Prince: "Fourth Brother, please help me! Think of a way, I can't let her continue like this!"
The Fourth Prince put down his pen, looked up at him directly, and asked calmly, "What do you want?"
The thirteenth prince's eyes flickered, and his voice weakened: "I...I..."
After a moment of deep thought, the Thirteenth Prince seemed to have made up his mind, and looked at the Fourth Prince with clear eyes: "Fourth Brother, I want to marry her! I want to marry Heyue!"
"Oh?" Fourth Prince frowned. "Have you forgotten that you're about to marry a concubine?"
The Thirteenth Prince frowned deeply, seemingly troubled, but only for a moment. He spoke again, his tone firm: "Fourth Brother, I don't care. I just want to marry Heyue. I want to ask Father Emperor to issue an edict that once the concubine enters the household, we should immediately marry the primary wife."
The Fourth Prince raised his hand and tapped him on the head, a faint smile appearing on his lips: "Your brain has finally come to its senses!"
The Thirteenth Prince let out an "uh," his eyes widening, his imposing manner immediately weakening. Then, as if remembering something, he chuckled again: "Fourth Brother, I know you also hope that Heyue will marry me. I'm afraid that if I beg Father Emperor, he won't agree. Could you please help me?"
Seeing his pitiful look, the Fourth Prince shook his head helplessly: "How old is Heyue? Asking for a marriage decree before even participating in the imperial concubine selection? It's not that easy."
The Thirteenth Prince's spirits immediately sank, and he looked distressed: "What should we do?"
A glint of shrewdness flashed in the Fourth Prince's eyes: "Fourth Brother has an idea."
The Thirteenth Prince immediately perked up, his eyes gleaming with joy: "Fourth Brother, tell me quickly!"

Heyue was still asleep when she was woken up by the maid.
Frowning, He Yue muttered softly, "Oh dear, what are you doing?"
"Princess, something big has happened! Get up quickly!" Hailan's loud voice rang in my ears.
He Yue's mind cleared from her daze, and she heard the words "major event" all the while. She sat up abruptly, looked around frantically, and asked urgently, "What's wrong? Has something happened to Sixth Sister?"
Hailan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cried at the same time: "My princess, what are you thinking? The sixth princess is fine, it's you who is in trouble. Someone from the palace has come and says they want to summon you to the palace."
As He Yue's panicked emotions gradually calmed down, doubts and surprise resurfaced in her mind. In the palace?
"Who is it? The Emperor or Consort De?" This sudden news completely stunned Heyue.
Since Sixth Sister got married, Heyue thought that Consort De would no longer be interested in their family and would not invite her to the palace.
Could it be Emperor Kangxi?
But why would Emperor Kangxi, who was so busy with state affairs, summon him to the palace?
"I heard he's a eunuch serving the Empress Dowager," Hailan whispered to Heyue, her face full of surprise.
ah?
He Yue was even more confused!
What did the Empress Dowager summon her to the palace for?
She didn't know any Empress Dowager; she had only seen her a few times from afar at palace banquets. Why would she suddenly want to see her?
Hailan didn't wait for her to think any further and hurriedly helped her with her makeup and dressing up, with Chun Ya on either side of her.
Since Yu Ying entered the Fourth Prince's mansion, Chun Ya, a second-class maid, was promoted to He Yue's first-class head maid. Later, Chun Rui replaced Chun Ya's original position.
Chun Ya is younger than Yu Ying, but she is very clever. More importantly, she rarely asks questions and is more meticulous than Hai Lan in her work. He Yue is very satisfied with her.
He Yue thought that Hailan was someone she was used to using, and that she would have to take Hailan with her after she got married. Chun Ya was clever and lovable, so she would have to take her with her too.
The others still need further testing, especially Chunrui. Heyue rarely lets her serve her personally, but often sends her out to get familiar with everything outside.
If it's credible, then we should use it.
She quickly got ready, wearing a light pink qipao, with her hair styled in a long braid at the back and several thin braids tied on both sides, making her look very charming and sweet. Because she only wore light makeup, her eyebrows were slightly thick, giving her a touch of heroic spirit.
She has a sweet personality without appearing overly delicate.
Heyue frowned, fiddling with her clothes. Was Hailan being too nervous? Why was she making herself look so pretty?
Seeing that she didn't care, Hailan gently persuaded her, "Princess, you're going to see the Empress Dowager, so you can't be shabby. I heard that the Empress Dowager is from Mongolia, so she must like tall and beautiful girls. Fortunately, you are tall and have a bit of a heroic air, so the Empress Dowager will definitely like you."
He Yue remained silent: "Hailan, what do you want the Empress Dowager to make?"
Hailan's face was full of excitement, a stark contrast to Heyue's nonchalant attitude: "Princess, that's the Empress Dowager! If you win her favor, she might arrange a better marriage for you when you enter the palace for the imperial concubine selection! You must perform well and try to win the Empress Dowager's favor!"
Heyue:......
