After keeping everyone in suspense, Emperor Guangxi solemnly said, "Chief Minister Yang has been devoted to the court tirelessly and his character needs no further statement. The granddaughter he raised must be a gentle, obedient, and virtuous girl. I am inclined to grant a marriage for your second young lady. What does Chief Minister Yang think?"
At these words, everyone was taken aback.
The Second Miss Yang, Yang Xueru, is the biological granddaughter of Chief Minister Yang.
With such a status, it is indeed elevated, but Chief Minister Yang is related to the mother's family of the Princess Consort Duan, and she has given birth to the Second Prince. Since ancient times, within the imperial family, there are no fathers and sons, let alone brothers.
Even though the Second Prince is still young, everyone knows that one day the two brothers will inevitably stand against each other.
So whom Chief Minister Yang truly supports is tacitly understood by all.
