Not far away, a madam in her 40s leaned over and whispered to another madam in her 50s, "Matriarch Xiao, I heard that the Eldest Prince once asked His Majesty to bestow a marriage in public. Is that true?"
Madam Xiao was Xiao Shoufu's wife.
That night, when the Eldest Prince publicly asked the Emperor to bestow a marriage, Xiao Shoufu was also in the palace, so Madam Xiao naturally knew.
Madam Xiao nodded, her eyes flickering.
That night, the Emperor didn't express his stance, but now, the Emperor actually wanted to personally preside over Gu Yanfei's coming-of-age ceremony. In other words, he had agreed.
"This…" The middle-aged woman hesitated. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly and pursed her lips disapprovingly.
The Gu family was worse than an ordinary family with a clean family background.
