What kind of thoughtfulness?
If Namuzhu were considerate, then there would be no considerate people in the world, everyone thought to themselves, but dared not utter a word.
Lady Maska naturally knew that her son was not considerate, but the Empress Dowager meant that her son should be more considerate of the princess, so she could only nod and say, "Your Majesty is right. Namuzhu is a considerate child. When we get back, I will have him move to the princess's residence and apologize to the princess properly."
The Empress Dowager hummed in agreement and then dropped the matter.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager had said enough, Youqing then publicly bestowed many fine things upon the Second Princess. These items were tributes from various regions, and some were unique.
After she finished admiring the gifts, Youqing said, "His Majesty loves his daughter. He told me to keep the good things for her as soon as he received them."
Everyone then understood that the Empress was indirectly telling the Fucha family that they shouldn't forget whose daughter they had married.
Mrs. Musca watched with a smile on her face, but inwardly she couldn't help feeling bitter. This princess's marriage was truly a recipe for domestic turmoil.
Being a princess's mother-in-law is really tough.
No one expected the Empress to say such a thing, after all, they had long heard that the rumors about the princess choosing a consort were spread by the Second Princess and the former Consort Rong.
From this perspective, Her Majesty the Empress is quite magnanimous.
Youqing didn't accept the "generous" evaluation given to her by others; she was far from generous.
However, there was no deep-seated hatred between them and the Second Princess. If the princess was not respectable, it would also be disrespectful to the royal family. If the Fucha family really thought that the princess was not valuable enough, it would be unacceptable for their daughter to be looked down upon when she grew up, got married, and was taken for granted.
The Second Princess was more surprised by Youqing's words than by them. When the rumors first spread, she was already prepared to be hostile to Youqing, but she didn't expect that this person would not hold a grudge.
If Youqing knew what the Second Princess was thinking, she would definitely laugh. What grudge would she hold?
Kangxi has already taught Consort Rong a lesson for her little tricks, so why bother arguing with a child?
After Lady Maska returned, she had Namuju's belongings packed up. When Namuju returned, she put him directly into a carriage and sent him to the princess's residence to "apologize."
Namuju naturally refused, but Madam Maska had made it clear that he had no choice but to agree. If he was truly capable of becoming a monk, then he should become one, as the Fucha family could not tolerate a son who wanted to become a monk.
This means if you keep causing trouble, then you'll be expelled from the clan. Once you're out of the clan, it doesn't matter whether you become a monk or not.
Namuzhu was only using those words to threaten his family; he was obviously unwilling to become a monk. Monks cannot eat meat, taste delicacies, or touch good wine. He was just saying it; he couldn't bear to give up everything in the mortal world.
So he could only sit sullenly in the carriage.
On the other side, the second princess returned to the princess, no longer angry. The Empress Dowager's words subtly supported her, and the Empress also implied that the royal family would not allow the princess to suffer any injustice. Thinking that Namuzhu would come to apologize later, she felt much more at ease.
As for anything else, she didn't want to think about it.
Namuzhu got off the carriage and was led into the hall where the princess was by a cold-faced nanny.
Upon arriving, Namuju said rather insincerely, "It was my fault on our wedding day. I was drunk and a young girl led me to commit a grave mistake. I will never do it again."
The words were meant as an apology, but Mrs. Muscat made him write them down, though her tone was very perfunctory.
The second princess was naturally dissatisfied with his perfunctory tone, but she also knew Namuzhu to some extent and knew that it was already quite difficult for him to come and apologize, so she nodded coldly and let the matter rest.
The old nanny standing to the side breathed a sigh of relief. At least they wouldn't have to live apart like this anymore. How could newlyweds live apart for a long time? Besides, she knew that the princess and her husband hadn't even had relations yet!
The Second Princess and Namuzhu were never compatible. Although they lived together, Namuzhu treated himself like a prince, while the Second Princess was not the type to treat him like that. Naturally, she didn't indulge him, and the two of them argued almost every time they met. Whenever they were quiet, the entire princess's residence was not peaceful.
The Second Princess's marriage to her husband caused a stir in the capital's high society for a while, but that was quickly replaced by something new. A few days later, it was time for the Third Princess to get married.
Just like the grand wedding of the second princess, the wedding of the third princess was also quite elaborate.
The Niohuru family was not as wealthy as the Fucha family. Although the wedding procession there was also grand, it could not compare to that of the Fucha family. The Second Princess made the comparison and was satisfied with the result.
While satisfied, the second princess couldn't help but pray in her heart that the third princess's husband would be even worse than Namuzhu.
However, she could only think about this idea; she dared not say it aloud.
Everything went smoothly for the Third Princess. After moving into her new room, Qingge was invited to drink, so Lady Niohuru had her own daughter accompany her daughter-in-law in the new room.
Qingge's younger sister, Qingxiu, was taught by her mother to be very polite. She also knew that the Third Princess's marriage into her family was a matter of honor for her family. If she could get along well with her sister-in-law, the princess, she would also benefit from it in the future.
After all, she hadn't participated in the imperial concubine selection yet. It was said that the Third Princess had some influence with the Empress Dowager. Although the Empress Dowager wasn't in charge of the selection process, she still had a say in this matter.
Therefore, Qingxiu treated the Third Princess with great sincerity, telling her a lot about her family, but mostly about Qingge. This made the Third Princess have more expectations for Qingge and feel less uneasy.
With the second princess's husband already in the picture, the third princess's marriage was filled with anxiety, fearing bad luck and that she might encounter a bad match.
As Qingxiu chatted with the Third Princess, she developed a good impression of her. She had thought that the Emperor's daughter would be very arrogant, but she was surprised to find that the Third Princess was quite gentle, spoke softly, and was very polite and considerate to her.
Qingxiu finished speaking, Qingge returned, and Qingxiu left. Granny Xi watched as the remaining procedures were completed and then left as well.
The red veil has been lifted, and the wine has been drunk.
Qingge was already satisfied with the marriage, since he wouldn't have to study anymore once he was married. Now, the Third Princess was gentle and charming, just the kind of woman he liked, so he was even more pleased.
The final procedures were completed quickly.
Qingge should act recklessly when necessary.
Afterwards, he was very considerate, and the Third Princess was very satisfied with Qingge.
The next day, although the third princess did not get up particularly early, she still respectfully served tea to her parents-in-law and elders.
The Niohuru family saw that the Third Princess was also a kind person, so they treated her even better.
The Third Princess found the Niohuru family to be better than she had imagined. Originally, she was going to move to the Princess's residence, but later she said that she would live in the Niohuru residence for the first month of her marriage, and then alternate between the Princess's residence and the Niohuru residence in the future.
The Niohuru family naturally cared even more about this.
After explaining what the Niohuru family disliked about the princess's husband, they said there was only one thing: the husband had to live with the princess in her residence. Now that the princess was so considerate, they were naturally overjoyed and, in return, treated the third princess even better.
