Chapter 936: When Choosing a Husband, Choose Someone With a

he old woman understood. 。She didn't understand how the winds of change worked in the imperial court, but she had also heard from plays that the most ruthless families were those of emperors. 。She fol...Jiao Yin isn't worried about her brothers getting cold, but this weather does hinder their performance to some extent.

The third princess held a delicately carved, openwork brazier and stood under the eaves with Jia Yin, wearing a white fox fur cloak. She persuaded, "Don't worry about it anymore. Your brothers are all smart and will definitely do well on the exam. Besides, I've sent people to guard outside the Gongyuan. They'll come back and report as soon as they hear anything!"

"Okay." Jia Yin also knew Bai was worried, but she just couldn't help it.

"Who set the rules for this big exam To test for nine days! Although they let us have one night to replenish our food and water, it's still too cruel. Those of us who are not in good health wouldn't make it through the exam, let alone live!"

Jia Yin complained, and the Third Princess giggled along, replying, “That’s why it’s better to be a girl, we don’t have to study or take exams!”

"Having said that, she turned around and looked all over. 'Where's the third one I fed it so many delicious treats, why does it always hide I can't even find its shadow to give it a hug!'"

It wouldn't do to say that the little fox was lounging about in space, munching on grapes and bullying the little green snake. Pulling her fox-fur cloak close, she chuckled, "Do you think your own kind would befriend you if you made clothes from their fur"

"Oh, I forgot about that! That's why the three of them wouldn't get close to me!" The Third Princess suddenly realized and quickly ordered someone to change her cloak.

Jia Yin took advantage of this opportunity to bring the little fox out from the spatial dimension. She offered it a bowl of smoked chicken strips, and the little fox happily went to appease the Third Princess.

Early spring, a maiden in vibrant attire, a snow-white little fox, giggling palace maids and eunuchs, bring a rare touch of cheer to the quiet palace walls!

Unfortunately, good times don't last. In less than half an hour, someone from Shoukang Palace came to invite her.

"Princess, County Lady, an imperial concubine has come to the palace to pay respects to Her Majesty the Empress Dowager. Her Majesty wishes for both of you to come and sit with her, to have a chat."

The young maid, summoned with a bow of her head, was very uneasy.

She wasn't favored even at Shou Kang Palace, otherwise this kind of errand wouldn't have fallen on her.

After all, over these past few months, Jia Yin has been strategizing, the Third Princess leading the charge, and the Empress Dowager gritting her teeth. Yet, they haven't lost a single battle.

Although they didn't openly tear each other apart, those with keen eyes in the palace knew what was going on and wished to stay far away, lest they be implicated.

As expected, the Third Princess was having a blast and was about to get angry.

Jia Yin quickly winked at her, then instructed the maidservant, "Let's change into different dresses. You eat some refreshments first and wait for us a moment."

The maidservant let out a long sigh of relief and naturally agreed.

Entering the inner chamber, Princess Three impatiently put down the little fox and ordered a maid to fetch her dress. She asked, "Jia Yin, aren't you worried about your brother How can you still have the heart to deal with that old woman Just make up some excuse and say we're both feeling unwell."

Jia Yin wasn't in a hurry either. She leisurely picked out a light green skirt embroidered with goose-yellow welcoming spring flowers and replied, "Just wait a moment, don't be impatient. Let's hear what's going on first. Just in case we have to go."

The Third Princess wanted to speak, but Shui Ling had already entered and whispered a few words in her ear.

"My Lady, the guests from Empress Dowager's side are all elderly ladies, and two of them are relatives by blood."

Jia Yin nodded, having guessed most of it.

The Third Princess is almost of marriageable age. The Emperor's health has been failing, and he hasn't been seen for ages.

It is estimated that outsiders who remember Princess Shang, turned their attention to the Empress Dowager.

The third princess's marriage wasn't this sought after originally, after all, her domineering personality didn't please the emperor.

But during this period, she suddenly became wise and restrained her temper. She was filial to the emperor and gradually appeared more frequently before him. As a result, she received increasing favor and rewards.

Those who saw it from the outside also began to devise plans.

It's just that they went to the Empress Dowager's side, it's not really clever.

The Third Princess, while changing her clothes, listened to Jia Yin painstakingly explain things, and she became a little disheartened.

"I take back what I said before. It's not necessarily bad for a woman to be unmarried either. Who says women have to get married Couldn't they just choose to never marry"

Jiayin laughed, not wanting her to be disheartened, so she said, "Just be content. You'll enjoy a life of luxury and ease. Even when you find a husband in the future, he'll have to treat you with respect and happiness, catering to your every whim."

You should go out and see other women, only then will you realize how pitiful they are. They work hard all day long, and being beaten and scolded is a common occurrence.

If you all think you're pitiful, how do others live

"Quick, pack up! Let's head to Shoukang Palace. Be careful not to be late, or they might sell you off!"

The third princess stomped her foot, walked up and linked arms with Jia Yin's, walking out while muttering under her breath.

"Can't you just comfort me You're always putting me down! If this keeps up, I won't like you anymore!"

Jia Yin could not be afraid of her set, "Then quickly don't like me, so I can go home. You are in blessing but unaware of it!"

"If I didn't keep you grounded every day, you'd probably be so full of yourself that you wouldn't even touch the ground!"

The two bickered all the way to Shoukang Palace. Upon seeing the Empress Dowager and several elderly royal wives and marquise, they inevitably engaged in another round of polite greetings and pleasantries.

The Third Princess, taking heed of Jia Yin's advice and reminders, patiently listened to the crowd's chatter, quietly analyzing how these old women described their exemplary grandsons.

Even if someone used a filter so thick that they painted the spoiled brat as a flower, she didn't get angry.

At most, I would occasionally roll my eyes when having tea.

Jiayin originally held a mentality of watching the excitement, wishing she could crack a handful of melon seeds.

To her surprise, she was also quite popular among the elderly women.

The Lee family is now deeply favored by the Emperor, with two titles in the family and a prosperous business. Several shops are making a fortune every day.

And the population thrived, with young ones springing up one after another!

There are those awaiting the imperial examinations, and those returning from abroad with envoys of foreign nations. There are even those who dared to behead a powerful uncle without hesitation!

Li's family usually associated with, and frequented by, were all wealthy and prosperous families.

Most importantly, having Marquis Xin as a backer!

Everyone knows who the new owner of the entire new capital is, Lord Xin Ting had already given his estate to Lady Kang Le!

New Ting Hou was about to lead his troops to recover the north of the river. All the glory would be attributed to him, and then it would fall to Kang Le County Lord's head in the end...

Marrying the Kangle Princess would be far more advantageous than marrying a princess!

Then someone began to ask Jia Yin about her age and marital status.

There was an old woman who, whether she didn't take good advice to heart or was just too anxious, blurted out her question directly.

The county princess is not young anymore, it’s time to get married. I wonder what kind of young man the county princess likes

That's incredibly rude!

How could you ask a little girl that!

The third princess was about to get angry, but Jia Yin pulled her back.

Jia Yin didn't get angry, but instead smiled and replied, "This, we also talk about it when we have idle chatter at home."

My stepfather said that when I get married, it doesn't matter what else my husband is like, but he has to have a strong backbone!

"Otherwise, when I get angry, it's not enough for my stepfather to just chop off his head with one sword. I want to hack at him repeatedly, until he's a bloody mess!"

The old women gasped, almost fainting from shock.

In a short while, they all took their leave.

Jiao Yin and the Third Princess naturally returned to Zhi Lan Palace. The Third Princess laughed so hard she rolled around on the bed, shouting how happy she was.

Actually, Jia Yin was preoccupied with the upcoming exam and feeling irritable, which is why she wasn't being kind to the old ladies. On other days, she would always be more polite and accommodating.

But that's how things are in the world, if you want benefits, you have to take risks.

These elderly women couldn't possibly not understand this.

I originally thought the day was just going to pass like that, but at dinner time, suddenly a Taishi (Imperial Physician) brought in eunuchs and palace maids with their mouths and noses covered, who burst into Zhi Lan Palace!
