Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother
Chapter 209: Arranged Marriage
On the fifth day of February in the fifty-fifth year of the Kangxi reign, Yinzhen obtained permission and went to the Temporary Resting Palace.
Just two months later, Kangxi issued an edict to lay off half of the guards in Xian'an Palace and the eldest prince's mansion.
In previous years, this little bit of noise would have been enough to cause a stir. However, now that the secret succession system has been established, few people care about the possibility that the eldest and second princes may be released from confinement in the future.
The prince tried his best to please Kangxi, while the court officials took a step back and watched the show. Everyone in the court was guessing who would be the new emperor!
How could they see what Kangxi was thinking? He summoned Prince Cheng today, Prince Yong tomorrow, and others the day after tomorrow. It can be said that he treated everyone equally.
Among them, the Eighth Prince Yinsi was summoned the least, but he was not worried because his second son Hongli was quite smart. If he was properly educated, he might be able to repeat the story of the "good holy grandson" in the Ming Dynasty.
Yinsi felt that his thoughts were secretive, but his eldest son Hongwang revealed some information to him. Although he did not point it out explicitly, people with far-sightedness could still see through his thoughts.
For example, he once sneered at Yinzhen, "The eighth son is smart for once, but his smartness is not on point. His rear is unstable, but he can't even see it? Ha! People always say that his second son Hongli is talented, but he has never been enlightened in advance." He is far worse than Honghui!
Yinzhen muttered a few words, put the matter aside, and turned to go to the main courtyard.
"I pay my respects to you, Master."
"No need to be polite, sit down!" Yinzhen took Yixiu's hand and sat on the couch. After showing some concern, he turned to business. "A few days ago, the emperor sent a message saying that Honghui is not young anymore, and he wants to arrange a marriage for him during this year's election. As parents, we should also prepare in advance."
Yixiu raised her lips instantly and nodded, "Master is right. Honghui is already fifteen years old this year. It's time for him to find a wife and start a family!"
As if she had thought of something, she couldn't help but purse her lips and sighed softly, "Ah! I don't know what that kid is thinking? Who doesn't have a mistress at his age? But he kept making excuses, saying that he didn't want to take a concubine before marrying a wife. He also said that he didn't want to get married too early, saying that children born too early are more likely to die. I don't know where he heard that from?"
Yinzhen knew about this!
A month ago, Honghui had said to him, "Father, I have read a lot of medical books and personally researched the reproduction of the royal family, the rich and powerful, and the common people. I have come to a conclusion - nine out of ten children born too early will die!"
At that time, Yinzhen refuted it: "Nonsense! Don't people in the world get married and have children at your age?"
But what Honghui said was still fresh in his memory, "So all the children born to the emperor in the early years died one after another. My second uncle's cousin Hongxi had an eldest grandson who died at the age of eleven. My third uncle's cousin Hongqing and so on are all the same!
Looking at the rich and powerful in the capital, if there are any who die young, most of them are born in their teens on the paternal side or the maternal side. In recent years, smallpox has disappeared, but many rich and powerful families still die young. There is no other reason, it is just that they reproduce before their bodies are fully grown. "
Although Yinzhen did not believe it, he still ordered people to investigate. After that, he never mentioned the matter of arranging people in the room to Yixiu again.
So at this moment, he couldn't help but help his eldest son out: "If he doesn't want to have a baby early, then let him be. Even if the marriage is arranged this year, the six rituals must be performed first, which will be until next year or two! Then bring the child into the house, raise him for a year or two, and then consummate the marriage when he is old enough."
"Yes, Master, what you said makes sense. It's just right for me to take her with me and teach her a lesson. After all, she is the eldest daughter-in-law in the mansion. Everything must be done properly. Otherwise, how can I set a good example for my brothers and sisters below me?"
Yinzhen agreed with this very much: "Take your time to choose. It doesn't matter whether the family background is good or not. You must choose someone who is virtuous, kind, and of good character. Honghui's wife must not be confused about the inside and outside, and must not be too devoted to her parents' family. By the way, her parents' family can be of low status, but they must be ambitious and full of playboys! And..."
Yixiu interrupted him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Master, are you going to choose a fairy? This is to choose the eldest daughter-in-law, not an official for the court!"
"..." Yinzhen glanced at her. Honghui's wife was a very important matter. It would not be an exaggeration even if she was treated by the standards of the second sister-in-law!
But everything was still undecided, and he was reluctant to tell others about his worries.
"Let's follow this standard first. I'll say a few more things. You can go back and tell this to my mother. If we don't look good together before the talent show, then I can only count on my mother."
After saying this, he didn't wait for Yixiu to reply, and listed seven or eight standards in one breath, which really opened Yixiu's eyes to the world.
This is really going to be a fairy!
Yixiu complained inwardly, then turned around and reported the original words back to the palace, causing Defei to laugh at her as well.
"Oh my, I've really opened my eyes today. I didn't expect that the Fourth Master is such a picky person! Even if he values Honghui, he wouldn't value him this much. Looking around the world, how many people can completely meet his standards?"
Yixiu blushed immediately, and suddenly developed a habit of feeling ashamed for others, "Aunt, please stop talking. I just think that someone who is not sexy is not a good match for Honghui. I'm not being picky..."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything about him. I see you are so distressed!"
After laughing for a while, De Fei gave a definite answer: "Tell the fourth brother later that I will try to find one first. I will also write to His Majesty to explain. Even if it is not suitable, it will not be too bad. I will definitely find a wife for Honghui who is perfect in every aspect."
As for the result of the search, one only needs to look at that thin booklet to know. At this time, Yixiu went to the front yard with the booklet containing the names and personal information of seven or eight beauties.
Honghui has always had his own ideas. Since this concerns his wife, he has to ask him!
Honghui, who had just learned at this time that he was about to be engaged, was so stunned that he couldn't recover for a long time. In the end, it was Yixiu who took the booklet and questioned him that finally brought him back to his senses.
"Mother, so soon? My son is only fifteen this year. It won't be too late to arrange his marriage in two or three years!"
Yixiu glared at him, "It's too late! Which of your cousins didn't arrange marriages around this time? The engagement ceremony, the betrothal ceremony, and the wedding ceremony will take at least a year or two. Maybe by the end of next year, the wedding won't even be held!"
She placed the booklet on the desk and urged her eldest son to look through it. "Take a look first and see if there's anything you like. If not, then you can slowly look for it! As for your desire not to have a baby soon, that's fine. You can take the baby into your house later and not consummate the marriage for the time being, right?"
