Chapter 108: Well-educated and impatient
"It seems that you have been busy these days!" Yongqi laughed at his friend after hearing this. Needless to say, he felt much better after hearing about Benjamin's story. "Okay, then you can start painting. I'll leave first, so that my mother won't cause any trouble again."
No matter how much Yongqi didn't want to face his mother who suffocated him and the Yonghe Palace that was like a cage, he still had to go back. At least running away would not solve anything.
After saying that, Yongqi left.
Benjamin picked up his paintbrush again and began his creation.
At the same time, Zhihua's room
After Zhihua's maid Meng Ling finished cleaning the room, she poured tea for Zhihua and said, "Miss, the Fifth Prince we met today was really good. The master was right!"
Zhihua picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "Father will not lie to me." Zhihua came to the palace this time for her marriage. Her father had already chosen the fifth prince Yongqi, who was just the right age. She had always lived in seclusion and had never seen the fifth prince grow up. When she saw him today, he was indeed as handsome as her father said. However, she did not have more contact with him today, so it seemed that she had to find another opportunity another day.
"However, it is rumored that the Fifth Prince and Princess Huanzhu have a very good relationship. When I met them today, I realized something fishy. The rumor is indeed true!" Although they had only met once, Zhihua still saw Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi, and the two exchanged glances.
She actually didn't mind this matter. No matter whether Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi had feelings for each other, as long as she could get what she wanted, it was enough! Which man didn't have three wives and four concubines? Her father was the same.
"Miss, this Huanzhu Gege has always acted flamboyantly, who knows if she will do something embarrassing!" Meng Ling said. Although they were outside the palace and had never met these people, they had heard about the weird things that Huanzhu Gege had done.
"Meng Ling! You are not allowed to make irresponsible comments about the imperial princesses. Princess Huanzhu is just straightforward and spontaneous, and there is nothing wrong with being herself." Although Zhihua could not do things as often as Xiaoyanzi, she still maintained an understanding attitude. Everyone has their own ideas. They are not like this, so they cannot deny others. Moreover, how could they make irresponsible comments about the princesses recognized by the royal family!
No matter from which perspective, they have no right to make such remarks.
Hearing her young lady's reprimand, Meng Ling quickly admitted her mistake and said, "Young lady is right, it is Meng Ling who is narrow-minded!"
"Forget it, don't talk about others like this in the future! No matter if the other person is of noble status or not, it's not allowed, do you understand?" Zhihua was indeed a child who was well-educated and well-mannered, and she could embody it perfectly. Even if she didn't understand, she would not slander.
"Yes, Miss, Meng Ling will definitely remember it." After all, she was the maid who took care of Zhihua personally, and she knew her master's temper, so she quickly said.
——The next day, Cining Palace——
Song Qing thought that Concubine Yu would like Zhihua, but she didn't expect that Concubine Yu would act so quickly. The next day, Concubine Yu came to Cining Palace to find Zhihua! She really acted quickly!
"My Lord Buddha, I came here today! I want to meet Zhihua who just arrived yesterday. When I met that girl yesterday, I felt that we got along very well. So I came to bother you so early in the morning! I hope you don't mind?" Empress Yu knew very well that it is a good idea to not hit a smiling person, so she lowered her attitude now. Even if the Lord Buddha was unhappy, he would surely fulfill her wish.
What's more, at this time, the Empress Dowager had the same idea as her. She was also anxious to bring Zhihua to Concubine Yu to see. If everything was fine, she would be responsible for getting the Emperor to grant the marriage.
"Empress Yu, what are you saying? I was just wanting you to come and meet Zhihua. It's just a coincidence that you came here! Qing'er, Xinrong, the two of you go and bring Zhihua over." After the Empress Dowager exchanged a few polite words with Concubine Yu, she quickly asked Song Qing and Xu Tian to go and get Zhihua.
Since Zhihua had just arrived yesterday, everything needed to be cleaned up, and the Empress Dowager did not let her come to pay her respects today, so only Song Qing and Xu Tian came to pay their respects this morning. As a result, before the two of them left, Concubine Yu arrived, which shows how anxious Concubine Yu was.
"Yes, Mr. Buddha." Upon hearing this, Song Qing and Xu Tian quickly got up and went to look for someone.
"Concubine Yu, I know you want to find a good girl for Yongqi. I think Zhihua is also very good. If both of you are interested, then I will ask the emperor to grant them a marriage." This time the Empress Dowager has learned her lesson. She does not directly say that she wants to grant a marriage, to avoid embarrassment if one party disagrees. Now it is best. If they both agree, she will do it. If they don't agree, then forget it.
"I know what you mean. I think so too, so I came to see Zhihua today." After getting the Buddha's approval, Concubine Yu was very happy and quickly agreed.
She has finally made it. God knows she has been worrying about Yongqi's marriage every day. It was already a pity that Xinrong didn't agree before. Now Zhihua is here. She must seize the opportunity this time!

"Qing'er, isn't this Concubine Yu a little too anxious? It's only now, and she's already here. She wouldn't have gotten up in the middle of the night to wash and dress up and come straight here!" Xu Tian said to Song Qing as they walked.
To be honest, this Concubine Yu came really too early. It would take them an hour to wash and dress up every morning, let alone Concubine Yu. Moreover, she had to walk from Yonghe Palace to Cining Palace. As a result, she arrived so early that it was hard not to suspect that she had gotten up in the middle of the night!
"I don't know, but it's probably true. We can also see her urgency from Yongqi." Song Qing had a certain understanding of Concubine Yu's urgency. It could be seen from Yongqi's recent state that he was often tired and decadent. Although he tried his best to conceal it, he could not hide the faint sadness emanating from him.
Yongqi now has to report even before going out. It is conceivable that Concubine Yu must have controlled Yongqi a lot in places they don't know.
