After a few words, An Lingrong was thinking about how to start, when she heard the emperor suddenly say to Princess Chao Gui: "You are about to reach the age of 15, right?" Chao Gui nodded and smiled and said: "Yes, my sister will be 15 in ten days."

That's great, it's just in time, come on, say a few more words. An Lingrong was very excited.

The emperor nodded and said, "A girl's coming of age is a big event. I will hold a banquet at Jiuzhou Qingyan and choose a good husband for you. When the princess's mansion is built, I will send you off to marry in style."

The princess is different from other princes. The emperor has to worry about his brothers seizing his throne, but the princess is different. Not only does she pose no threat to the throne, she can also be married off in exchange for benefits.

Moreover, the princess can also show the affection of siblings. This is why the emperor treated Princess Chaogui better than usual to Prince Guo after only meeting her a few times.

Maybe girls naturally like older brothers more, and Chaogui is lively and cheerful, so she became particularly close to Yinzhen after just a few meetings, which made the emperor gradually pay attention to his little sister. Everyone who saw them couldn't help but sigh at the deep love between the brother and sister.

"No, no, Chaogui doesn't want to get married." Chaogui said with a pout.

Yinzhen smiled and said, "It's not reasonable for a girl to not get married when she grows up. But if you have a man you like, tell me and I will make the decision for you."

After all, everything is peaceful now. Nian Gengyao will probably conquer the northwest soon, and there are no court officials who need to be won over or weakened. Therefore, Chao Gui can still make the decision on the current marriage.

An Lingrong seized this good opportunity and quickly persuaded Chao Gui. After all, if she didn't settle down now, she would be married to Junggar in another year.

But Chaogui didn't know that she was still a child and kept making a fuss about not wanting to get married.

"You get married but it doesn't mean you won't come back. If you want, you can come back every day." After hearing what An Lingrong said, Chao Gui curled her lips and knew that she should really choose a prince consort.

Her mother had been nagging about it since she was little, and she knew that if she was sent to Fumeng, she would never come back. Now that the emperor had agreed to let her decide her own marriage, it was already a great benefit.

She had no choice but to nod disappointedly. Seeing Chao Gui so disappointed, everyone tried to persuade her. The Emperor also said that her coming-of-age ceremony would be personally organized by the Empress and Concubine Hua, and it would be guaranteed to be grand. By that time, all the suitable young men in the capital would return, and Chao Gui could choose whoever she liked.

When Concubine Guo heard the news, she was so happy that she couldn't stop crying. She even wanted to kowtow to An Lingrong to express her gratitude. After all, if it weren't for An Lingrong, Chao Gui would never have been able to show up in front of the Emperor, and the marriage would not have been arranged so well.

Traditionally, for a girl’s coming-of-age ceremony, the attendees include eleven people from the host family, in addition to the guests.

The participants of the coming-of-age ceremony are mainly women. The host, the main guest, the assistant, the assistant, the escort and the steward are all women.

The host is the mother of the person getting married or the father of the person getting married. The person getting married is the one who has reached adulthood and is waiting for the ceremony of getting married. A person who is responsible for the ceremony of getting married is the host. A person who is the main guest is chosen by the host. It is better to choose a female teacher with both moral integrity and talent. A person who is responsible for the ceremony of getting married is the assistant of the main guest. The main guest chooses a female person to serve. A person who is responsible for the ceremony of getting married is the assistant of the host. He arranges the venue, places the mats, and helps the main guest wash. Three deacons are mainly responsible for assisting the main guest in the ceremony of getting married.

The previous emperor passed away, so the hosts must be the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the Empress, and Concubine Guo, and the others can be arranged as well. The Emperor also agreed that Chao Gui should select a few concubines who were on good terms with him to attend.

Needless to say, An Lingrong and the others. Hua Fei had met her a few times because of An Lingrong, but they were not very familiar with each other. However, she had helped her with her coming-of-age ceremony, so she could also attend.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang had never met Chao Gui. Shen Meizhuang rarely came to An Lingrong's place. The three of them mainly went to Sui Yuxuan, or An Lingrong went to Cun Jutang. Zhen Huan had always claimed to be sick to avoid the emperor's favor, and after she was favored, she was mainly with the emperor.

So even though he knew that An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan were good friends, the coming-of-age ceremony only happens once in a lifetime, and Chao Gui didn't want any unfamiliar concubines to come. After all, he had never met them before, and it would be strange to just open his mouth and bless them. He probably didn't feel comfortable with them, so he didn't invite them.

Chaogui's coming-of-age ceremony was decided. In addition to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the Empress, and Concubine Guo, who had to attend, there were also An Lingrong, Xia Dongchun, Chun Changzai, Noble Lady Fucha, Concubine Hua, Noble Lady Cao, and Princess Wen Yi.

An Lingrong knew that the Empress Dowager had talked to the Emperor many times over the past month because of Yixiu's matter, so this was probably a way to give the Empress Dowager a way out.

But no matter what, as long as Chaogui's marriage is settled, she won't have to marry into Junggar.

I'm so sorry, I sent out Chapter 72 before I finished it. I added a few more sentences, so I'm so sorry (T ^ T)
