Seeing Su Xinyi's surprised face, the Empress smiled and said, "The Qixi festival is a family banquet, but this time we will probably invite a few ladies and their daughters into the palace."
Su Xinyi immediately realized what was being implied and looked at the Empress, "Is it about the royal marriages that are being arranged?"
The Empress smiled and nodded her head, then waved her hand dismissively at the palace maids inside the inner palace. Everyone bowed to the Empress and the Crown Princess before retreating.
After everyone had left, the Empress then slowly began speaking to Su Xinyi, "The decree for the arranged marriages will be issued after Qixi, which is only a few days away. The choice for Prince Wu's consort has already been decided, the daughter of the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs. The consorts for Prince Xiang and Prince Jing have yet to be decided, have you heard about this?"
