Chapter 1312: Chapter 1307: The Flower Viewing Banquet

Mrs. Dong looked at the child in her mother’s arms, her brows showing affection: "Indeed, we owe thanks to Doctor Huang, who has been constantly attending to the two children during this time!"

Speaking of Doctor Huang, I recall a matter to discuss..." Madam Dong gently patted the almost asleep child in her arms and smiled, "Doctor Huang’s family has a young girl named Arong, who has reached marriageable age, I’ve inquired that she’s not yet betrothed. I happened to meet her once on the street; she’s straightforward and warm-hearted. What do you think about matching her with Chang Yuan?"

Mrs. Dong looked at her mother with slight astonishment and immediately understood her mother’s intention.

Mrs. Dong knows her mother well. Dong Changyuan is considered the most literate and promising junior in the Dong family. If Kid hadn’t become the Emperor, her mother would likely have chosen an aristocratic family for a granddaughter-in-law. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

But now that Kid is Emperor, if Dong Changyuan has a capable official as his father-in-law, Kid would likely take care of them diligently, and having such a father-in-law would surely inhibit Dong Changyuan when handling affairs for Bai Qingyan, being entangled in the courtly relationships.

Though Madam Dong is getting older, she remains clear-headed. It’s not that she favors her granddaughter over her grandson, but... Madam Dong, despite being a woman, has ambitions to see the day Bai Qingyan spoke of when the country is unified, and the world is peaceful.

Besides, back in Dengzhou... when Madam Dong and Dong Qingyue knew Bai Qingyan had aspirations of ascending the throne, they pledged the Dong family’s full support to Bai Qingyan.

Dong family, once committed, will spare no effort and hold no deceit.

"Mother, if you find it well, why not host a flower appreciation banquet under some pretext, inviting the daughters from various families who are of marriageable age? You can bring Tingzhen and the others along!" Mrs. Dong thought of those few from the Bai family, "In fact, except for A Yun... the others haven’t been betrothed either, let my sisters-in-law see if there are suitable daughters-in-law."

"Good, good, good!" Madam Dong said several goods in succession.

"What good news makes grandmother agree with mother so readily?"

Before Bai Qingyan arrived, her voice came first, lifting the skirt, she stepped into the main hall.

Sitting together with Mrs. Dong on the soft couch by the window, wearing a gold embroidered grape violet fortune pattern coat, Madam Dong with meticulously brushed silver hair cradled a child, turned her head to look outside.

Seeing Bai Qingyan in simple narrow-sleeved attire, walking towards the inner chamber through the light gold curtains draped from the round columns on either side of the hall.

"I was just telling your grandmother about hosting a flower appreciation banquet, inviting eligible maidens from Dadu City, to find suitable wives for your brothers." Mrs. Dong replied with a smile.

This was the first time Madam Dong saw Bai Qingyan after Bai Qingyan returned to Dadu, noticing her granddaughter appeared slimmer than before but her complexion was good, finally relieved, quickly handed the baby Xile to the wet nurse, got up to greet her.

"Grandmother!" Bai Qingyan quickly helped the kneeling Madam Dong, "Grandmother, what are you doing!"

"I understand your intent, but the courtesy must be observed!" Madam Dong kindly patted Bai Qingyan’s hand, gesturing for her to release.
