Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion.

Gu Rong returned home, told her father about his birthday party, and gave the invitation to Duan.

After hearing this, Duan said with a smile.

"When the in-laws hold a birthday banquet, we, the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, will naturally attend. But as for the gift, I wonder how much your eldest sister has prepared?"

Hearing what his mother-in-law said, Gu Rong was stunned for a moment and said with a smile.

"My eldest sister is very concerned about her reputation. On my father's 40th birthday, she will definitely want to show off and give a generous gift..."

When Duan heard what Gu Rong said, she laughed.

"That's right. Gu Zhao now has such a large dowry. If we don't give a large gift, it will be the people of Qinhou Mansion who will be embarrassed..."

Normally, she would definitely not be willing to give a large sum of money as a gift. But for Minister Gu's birthday banquet this time, it would be unreasonable if the Marquis Qin's Mansion did not give a gift of respect.

"Yao'er, spend more time with Qin Xi these days. After all, she is your cousin, and you should interact more with her in the future..." Duan said to her daughter with a smile.

"Mother, don't worry, your daughter understands."

Qin Yao thought of King Heng and said with a slightly red face.

"Mother, when will you go to Prince Heng's Mansion again? If you go, you must bring your daughter with you."

Gu Rong felt extremely jealous when she heard her sister-in-law's shameless words.

Qin Yao is still planning to marry the Fourth Prince. But she doesn't realize that Qin Yao is just the legitimate daughter of the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion. The Fourth Prince is now the Prince of Heng, so how can he be worthy of the Prince of Heng?

Gu Rong knew that if she hadn't married her beloved, she wouldn't have had the chance to marry someone like Prince Heng. Being a concubine is not as good as being a wife. But she was jealous of women who could become princesses. People like Qin Yao could never marry Prince Heng, unless they were his concubines.

Otherwise, Qin Yao would be even more proud and would never take her, her sister-in-law, seriously.

After the Fourth Prince became a prince, more people tried to curry favor with him. But on the surface, the Fourth Prince was very low-key, and he even refused some gifts from people.

She had also heard about these things. Her mother-in-law had been talking about the Fourth Prince every day recently.

Prince Heng's Palace.

Butler Duan talked for a long time with Prince Heng.

Upon hearing that many people had sent gifts, Prince Heng showed a proud smile on his face.

He has to pretend to be himself every day outside, and can only be himself when he returns home. If he can marry a more powerful princess, he will be closer to that position.

Now the imperial brothers are fighting fiercely, and it will affect me from time to time.

Empress Zheng, the biological mother, is of some use. Originally, he might not have been included in the list of kings this time, but Empress Zheng talked to her father about it.

Your Majesty felt guilty towards Queen Zheng regarding the matter of old Duke Zheng, and now he listens to many of Queen Zheng's words.

It would be even better if my mother could quickly change from Concubine Duan to Empress Duan.

It's not that he hadn't thought about marrying the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zheng, or the legitimate granddaughters of other cabinet ministers. It's just that he hadn't been crowned a king before, and his mother was only a concubine, so some people didn't take him and his mother seriously. Moreover, the decision-making power for such a big event as marriage was not in their hands. It was in the hands of his father.

And the Emperor is the most suspicious person. If he knew what he was planning, he might take action and his plan would not succeed.

The second daughter of Commander Zhao of the Beijing Suburban Camp is also a good choice. The brothers of the emperor are also eyeing her.
