Ming Dynasty, the first year of Yongle, September.

"Thank you, Fourth Brother, and Fourth Sister-in-law."

As soon as Princess Anqing came in, she knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Xu.

Xu was so frightened that she quickly asked Bixi to help the man up.

"I came to the palace specially this time to thank Fourth Sister-in-law and Fourth Brother. It was Fourth Brother who helped me to withstand the criticism."

Princess Anqing came here specifically to express her gratitude.

There was a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with tears that looked like they could fall at any time.

"You're welcome. As long as you have three good meals a day and live a good life all year round, I, your brother, will feel that our relationship as siblings is not in vain."

Xu was quite familiar with Princess Anqing and didn't say anything empty.

"Wow, wow, wow, you're still thinking about me—"

Princess Anqing had been trying to hold back her tears, but now she couldn't hold it in any longer and she squatted on the ground and started crying.

"Oh my, how come it's the same as when we were little? Come here, little crybaby! I'll wipe it for you!"

Xu was happy. She squatted on the ground with Princess Anqing, hugged her and patted her back.

"Sis, you love me. Woo woo woo."

Princess Anle couldn't help but sniffle and continued crying.

"I love you, I support you."

Xu coaxed Princess Anqing into her mouth, and even put a candied date handed to her by Zhang Xin.

Princess Anqing was so amused that she finally burst into laughter.

"Are you still trying to coax me with candied dates?"

"What can I do if I don't coax you? You're not afraid of being laughed at by your niece's wife, so why should I be afraid?"

Xu smiled.

She and Zhu Di became fiefdoms in the 13th year of Hongwu.

Princess Anqing married Ouyang Lun in the 14th year of Hongwu.

Before this, she and Anqing grew up together in the presence of Empress Ma.

After that, letters continued to exchange.

Among the princesses, Princess Anqing was considered to have married well. Her husband was a Jinshi (a scholar by birth), and the two of them had some common hobbies and topics.

But in the end, it was Princess Anqing's husband, Ouyang Lun, who died the most undignified death.

He was sentenced to death by the previous emperor for smuggling tea and making huge profits from it.

Princess Anqing once wrote to her to complain that the Ouyang family was obsessed with money. They had enough food and clothing, but they still engaged in speculative trading.

She couldn't persuade anyone, couldn't control anything, and when something bad happened, her husband's family blamed her for not asking the late emperor for leniency.

Now that Ouyang Lun is dead, it's fine that the in-laws keep finding fault.

He even wanted her to use the princess's annual salary to support all the aunts and uncles of the Ouyang family, so that the entire family would be sucking blood from her alone.

Before Zhu Di ascended the throne, Princess Anqing wanted to become a nun.

Princess Anqing was a person who loved to laugh but cried easily. But when she came back this time, Xu felt that she was so exhausted that she seemed to be unable to move.

Zhu Di wanted to marry a princess to the Song family.

Zhang Xin thought of Princess Nankang, but she immediately felt that Princess Anqing was more suitable.

In the military general's family, Song Xuan was the one who would inherit the title in the future, and Zhu Di would be of great use to him in the future.

It was hard to say whether Princess Nankang could live a good life with such a soft and sticky personality. Moreover, Princess Nankang was still stuck in self-pity and refused to come out. She still felt quite resentful towards Xu for forcing her to break up with him.

Xu had no intention of forcing anyone to get married. This was a marriage, not an enmity.

So she really summoned An Qing to the palace to ask about it, and arranged for her to meet Song Xuan.

When two widowed people of similar age meet, there is no such thing as a quarrel.

Everyone knows that this is a win-win situation for both of us. One wants to increase the chances of inheriting the title, and the other wants to get rid of the Ouyang family.

Since they liked each other, the matter was settled.

The wedding date is set for the end of the year.

Zhu Di's decree has been issued.

Everyone in and outside the government was in an uproar.

First, Duke Nankang died of chastity, and then Princess Anqing remarried.

It seemed as if Zhu Di himself had torn off and trampled on the reputation of the royal family.

Impeachment memorials were flying everywhere.

Zhu Di drew a red cross on each one and rejected them.

Attached is a document about the person who wrote the memorial, and all sorts of messy things in that family.

There are all kinds of people, including those who have mistresses, those who keep concubines, those who steal and those who have unrest in their homes.

The late emperor's imperial guards are back in action.

One move kills.

As soon as the new emperor's blade was revealed, everyone stopped fighting and no one said a word.

Princess Anqing never thought that as a princess she could remarry.

During this period, although Song Xuan was a military general, he was also a good person and would often ask Princess Anqing to go out for dinner and shopping.

Princess Anqing was invited by Zhu Zhiming to teach little girls at the girls' school.

Two days a day.

Whenever Song Xuan had time, he would go to pick up Princess Anqing from get out of class.

After a while, I did start to feel some excitement and excitement before getting married.

Now, seeing that Princess Anqing had finally regained her lively appearance, Xu was very satisfied.

"Mom, Aunt Anqing, if you two don't get up, I'm going to start laughing at you, right?"

Zhang Xinle has been happy for a long time.

"It seems I have spoiled you too much!"

Xu stretched out her hand and wanted to pull Zhang Xin to squat together, but she immediately realized that her daughter-in-law was still pregnant, so she could only turn her hands to support the ground, pull Princess Anqing up and push her to the people she brought.

"Go, go, wash your face and change your clothes. There are things ready in the back."

"Yes, Queen."

"Mother, you said before that the emperor's grandfather asked widows to remain chaste in order to prevent the extinction of the family. If we do this now, will it also cause some women to lose the protection of their husbands' families?"

Zhang Xin stopped smiling and started worrying about something else.

Zhu Zhiming and Zhu Anle often bring back some news from outside.

There have been a lot more weddings among ordinary people recently. One happened at the end of the year, and the other was a quiet remarriage.

But there are also those who are willing to stay with their wives, and even kick them out when their husbands refuse to support them.

She was always afraid that her good intentions might lead to bad results.

"Silly child, you are overthinking because you are pregnant, right? We are just raising a trend - the royal family does not forbid women to remarry. We can manage the people in our family, but not the whole world. If a woman is 30% or 40% good, it is very good. You are too kind. In this world, there are many things that cannot be helped if the woman does not stand up on her own."

Xu touched Zhang Xin's face and comforted her.
