Fortunately, the status of the original four side husbands is not high. With his current status as Prince Jing, there should be no obstacles to him coming to ask for marriage.
The first is Lan Nianqing, the legitimate son of the richest family! He has just turned fifteen this year.
He is the eldest son of the richest man Lan Jinyu's wife, and he is followed by two biological younger brothers.
In the plot, after the eldest princess asked her to marry the eldest son of the richest man as her side husband, she took the richest man's youngest son as her husband.
The status of a servant is lower than that of a side husband, and having her original body embarrassed in front of her makes the eldest princess appear to be much wiser.
The ministers all felt that Prince Jing could not hold up the wall, and a businessman's son was more than enough to serve as a side husband and a servant.
On the other hand, looking back at the actions of the eldest princess, it seems that she is more powerful and the rational approach of a superior.
Although the original person looked down on Lan Nianqing, he was secretly happy that he was valued by his eldest sister, who actually allowed him to marry her Qiangkuo.
In fact, Lan Wangqing was conceived by the richest man and his husband who was a loser before he made his fortune, so he was not favored at all.
After her father died, he was an invisible person in the Lan family and was just an abandoned son! He had the title of the eldest son of the richest family, so he was in the same situation as her, so it was a good match.
…………
Lan family.
The chubby middle-aged woman in the seat is wearing gold bracelets, gold chains, gold rings, and a gold crown on her head... Anyway, she just needs to change her skin to gold.
After all...she still has a mouth full of gold teeth.
When I heard that the matchmaker said that Prince Jing was going to propose marriage to her eldest son, my first reaction was...
"This Prince Jing is from which family is the young lady named Prince Jing?"
The corner of the matchmaker's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly: "The head of the Lan family would not like to be so disrespectful to the Tian family and let outsiders hear it, because it is a serious crime to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan!
She is the seventh princess of our Phoenix Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Her Royal Highness Prince Jing, who has been personally consecrated by the Holy Emperor! She wants to take your eldest son as her side husband.
This is a pie in the sky, a good thing that you can't find even with a lantern, so you should agree quickly to avoid angering the Tian family!"
"No, no, I'm just too shocked. His Highness, Prince Jing, actually has a crush on my eldest son. That's why I wonder if it's because of his reputation..."
Lan Jinyu quickly smiled in apology, and then immediately agreed to the marriage! She asked the housekeeper to get the eldest son Geng Tie as a gift.
The unpopular eldest son climbed onto the princess's bed, and she felt that their Lan family's ancestral tomb was about to emit smoke!
"Mr. Zheng, did you see that Prince Jing's Mansion said when they would bring someone in?"
"Master Lan, don't be anxious. I'll take the Geng Tie to Prince Jing's Mansion first and let someone calculate the lucky date. But His Highness has said that the sooner the better." The matchmaker's face was full of smiles.
This matchmaking was done, and the money given by both parties was probably enough for his family to live a good year.
After the two parties discussed it, Matchmaker Zheng said goodbye and left. He happily went to Prince Jing's Mansion, with the red flowers on his head carrying the wind of joy.

Lan Nianqing, who lives in the side courtyard, is taking care of his vegetable garden at the moment. Except for the waiter who was married to his biological father, there is no one else here.
The occasional meal or two delivered from the kitchen could not satisfy his needs.
Today, this dilapidated courtyard received an uninvited guest...
The visitor is the step-husband my mother married later, a concubine from a minor official family, and his step-father.
"My child pays homage to my father." Lan Nianqing lowered her head and knelt down to salute respectfully.
Kneeling at the door was his waiter, Uncle Xi, who had been dependent on him for so many years.
Lan Jinyu's current husband is a man in his early thirties, who has exactly the same aesthetics as his wife, and is covered in gold and jade brocade.
He looked calmly at the son left behind by his former husband.
He was wearing a shabby blue-grey robe, and half of his hair was pulled up with a branch on his head.
His hands were covered with mud, his complexion was sallow and thin, and although his facial features were good, his skin was dark and cracked, making him look rough.
I really don’t understand how my stepson, who has never been out of the house, hooked up with His Highness Prince Jing.
"Today, a matchmaker came to the house and said that His Highness Prince Jing is attracted to you. From today on, your mother has arranged for a father-in-law to teach you the rules.
When you enter the backyard of the palace, remember to follow the rules, otherwise you will lose more than just your own life!"
Afraid that his stepson would be resentful and cause trouble, the man glanced at the kneeling attendant at the door and said, "Your father's dowry attendant will not follow you. He will stay with our Lan family."
Lan Nianqing understood what her father meant, she wanted to use Uncle Xi to contain him!
"Father, Uncle Xi has taken care of the child for many years. This is the first time he goes to the palace, but the child is not used to it. Can Uncle Xi go with him?
The child promises that he will never bring trouble to the Lan family in the palace! If he offends His Highness Prince Jing, the child will kill himself!" Lan Nianqing kowtowed and prayed.
However, the man ignored his prayer and turned around calmly, preparing to leave the dilapidated yard.
"Father!!! If you refuse to agree, the child will have no choice but to beg His Highness Prince Jing!
There is no need for you to be on guard against me. My child knows how much he weighs and understands that if the Lan family disappears, my child will definitely not be able to get a good deal.
His Highness Prince Jing suddenly asked to marry the child, just because the child is the eldest son of the mother’s family!”
Although Lan Nianqing is confined to this dilapidated courtyard, it does not mean that he is a fool!
Apart from the title of the eldest son of the richest man, I have nothing left!
Talent, appearance! Even an ordinary young man is better than him.
I just hope... that after getting married, I don't ask for much good things. It's good to live in a corner like now.
"Oh, you're threatening me?" Zheng Zhengfu narrowed his eyes, turned around and asked with a cold tone.
"My child doesn't dare. It's just that Uncle Xi has taken care of my child for many years, and he wants to take him to the palace to help him."
"Do you believe it or not, I told this slave that he would not live to see you get married?"
Lan Nianqing secretly clenched her fists and said in a decisive tone: "If my father wants to execute Uncle Xi, then the child will die with him."
Zheng Zhengfu, who was threatened by his stepson, was so angry that he snorted coldly, "Humph! After all, you have climbed to a high branch and your wings have become stiff. As a father, I can't control you anymore."
What you said today, my father will tell your mother truthfully and let her talk to you."
Seeing that her stepfather was angry and walked away, Lan Nianqing stood up calmly. Chunxi quickly got up and rubbed his young master's legs.
"My young master, this slave's life is not worth it for you to disobey your master. This offends him. I'm afraid you will suffer a lot before you get married."
"So what, as I said, I will provide for Uncle Xi in his old age!"
"Slaves are not worthy..."
Lan Nianqing interrupted the uncle's next words, looked at him seriously and said, "It's worth it! You are not a slave, you are the only relative I care about in this world."
"Little Master..." Chunxi choked with tears in her eyes.
The two masters and servants helped each other back to the courtyard...
…………
As for Yunfei, he had already settled his days with Geng Tie.
There are still four months left for the Chinese New Year, so she carries one a month, which is enough to make up for it.
After the negotiations were settled with the Lan Mansion, they found a matchmaker and went to Ye Lian'er's house and the house of the Minister of War to ask for the marriage of their bastard.
As for Bai Ruyue, she was afraid she would have to redeem him herself.
