The Lord Gu was right, there were a few big incidents from the beginning of the new year.

First was when they entered the palace on New Year's Eve to guard the year, the His Majesty announced that they would choose a prince's wife for the Second Prince, the matter of choosing a woman for the prince was completely unheard-of, everyone was puzzled, could it be that the His Majesty wanted to establish the Eastern Palace?

In fact, it was different from the His Majesty's choice of concubines, where they would only choose a few women from aristocratic families with similar ages. This kind of matter could be discussed after closing the door, deciding who could resist the marriage.

His Majesty probably ate a lot of lessons in Elder Official Xie's residence, so no matter if it was picking a woman for himself or picking a woman for his son, they all had to pay attention to hearing and hearing, and couldn't be careless.

Some among the popular candidates from the few families tried their best to push it, but some tried their best to reject them. The first one was naturally the Marquis Anfeng Palace, and Gu Wan's name was even brought up personally by the Imperial Noble Consort Shen, but Marquis Mansion was naturally unreachable. They could only say that the Third Miss had returned to her home in the southern region a few years ago, and made a marriage earlier, so they decided that they couldn't bully the to make the selection.

The next person was Zheng Peiru from Zheng Family. It was rumored that Miss Zheng had contracted a serious illness two years ago, and was not allowed to go out since she had not shown her face until the New Year's Day. It was likely that she was not lightly sick, and this kind of body would probably not be able to qualify for the position of prince's wife.

Since it had nothing to do with Marquis Mansion anymore, there was nothing to be concerned about, but ever since Gu Wan ran away from home, Lady Zeng was so angry that she laid on her bed. Although Gu Wan had sent a letter to him saying that she was fine, she did not mention anything about when she would return.

After attending Imperial Noble Consort Shen's banquet today, Xie Jingxi, who had returned home tired, patted her on the shoulder as she went in. Seeing that she had worked so hard on herself, Fang Dai walked forward to rub her shoulder.

Ming Yu complained on one side: ”That Imperial Consort Shen is really infuriating, but we still have to fawn on them. It's already a freedom for Third Miss to not marry them, why do you have to say it so brazenly, even that Imperial Noble Consort Shen didn't say anything, she has so much mouth!”

Ming Yu was already angered to the point that she had to grumble when she returned, ”Sister Fang Dai, did you not hear that? There are many times when we ladies have to embarrass ourselves, if not for Prince Jin's Wife helping us out at the side, Miss, please don't be wronged.”

It was no wonder that they thought so much of it, but since things had already come to this point, they had to shoulder the burden for Gu Wan. Otherwise, what could they do?

Don't listen to Ming Yu's blabbering, listen to a few words, if it doesn't hurt, if it doesn't itch, then there's still grievances, with Imperial Consort Shen production nearing, there's still some that can be arrogant, and it's not just talking about our family, it's not even worth mentioning, just that I wear gold all day long and my neck is about to break. Fang Dai, with your strength, you can help me massage it all right.

I will be leaving in a few days, and will not be able to help Madam with the remaining matters. A few days ago, I had temporarily arranged for a girl from one of us to come over, and she is my sister, Fang Yu. Eldest Young Master has also agreed that, although she is younger than me, she is better at socializing than me, or can help Madam out.

Ming Yu was worried that no one would follow her, hence she transferred another girl over. When she heard that it was still Fang Dai's little sister, Ming Yu asked curiously: ”Big sister Fang Dai's sister, does she look like she, does her martial arts seem to be as strong as big sister Fang Dai?”

Fang Dai laughed: ”He's much stronger than me, you will know when you see him again.”

Once she said this, Ming Yu became happy. Another girl around the same age played with her, and he immediately forgot about his bad thoughts in the palace.

Xie Jingxi's body gradually lightened up, and she began to slowly talk about today's matter, ”There is something I have always been suspicious of, that is why the body of Miss Pei Ru from Zheng Family is always healthy, so I never believed that she would be sick. Today, someone asked Mrs Zheng a few questions, and their words were all concealed, it can be said to be extremely strange.”

Fang Dai asked: ”Does Madam mean that Miss Zheng Family is the same as us, do you not wish to marry?”

Zheng Peiru naturally didn't want to marry, so a bad premonition suddenly surged up inside her heart. Could it be that she had really guessed right?
