In Hui Wang Manor, on a rosewood bed carved with cloud patterns, laid a thin woman.

If one wasn’t aware of her identity, it would’ve been difficult to guess that this person was the former Crown Princess, the current Consort Hui. Although Wu-shi wasn’t born with the beauty to topple cities, she was still dignified and beautiful. But her complexion now was sallow and she was frighteningly skinny.

Zhao Zuo stood in front of the bed and said in a gentle voice, “Mother consort, my wedding is five days away. I hope you will recover from your illness soon. Yan’er has a gentle temperament and is of good character. She would definitely be filial to you...”

Zhao Zuo spoke a lot. He said everything from what betrothal gift was given, to where he arranged his new house, to the reaction from the Wu Family’s side. He mentioned everything that could be mentioned, both the trivial and the important matters.

The maids standing by the side all witnessed such a considerate and thoughtful Shizi, and they all looked at him in a different light. They thought to themselves that the Shizi was really filial. These maids just entered Hui Wang Manor and replaced the previous maids who had served Consort Hui. Apparently, it was because of their ill temper that the previous maids were replaced.

His ruthlessness caused a chill to settle in her bones. Her son watched as she was being drugged, without saying a word. After that, he would come every morning and evening to visit her. He would even personally feed her medicine. Now he was even going to hold a chongxi wedding for the sake of her health.

Consort Hui felt cold, really cold. Even though it was already June, she was chilled to the bones.

“What’s wrong, Your Highness?” The maid touched Consort Hui’s trembling body.

“Did you catch a cold?”

“Hurry up and help the consort get dressed. If something happens to the consort, the Shizi would definitely feel worse...”

“The Shizi is really filial...”

The sunlight shone through the window, forming a beam of light as it hit the ground. Consort Hui could only watch as the dust floated in the beam of light.

The day of Zhao Zuo’s big wedding soon arrived. The wedding was naturally held in Hui Wang Manor.

The princes all gathered together to congratulate him on his marriage. Not only were the men there, but also the women and children of their families.

It was very different from before. This time, Yaoniang could clearly feel how enthusiastic the consorts were toward her. It was almost to the point where they treated her as a part of their own family. They held her hand and said a lot of beautiful words, and she couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

In the end, it was Consort Qing who dissolved her confusion. It was because Emperor Hongjing had repeatedly brought up how brothers should respect and be kind to one another. Naturally, this didn’t refer to only the men, but also the women in their families. This was why the several households were in such unprecedented harmony.
