It was late spring, and the weather was getting hotter by the day.
The thin spring clothes had already been worn, and now, at noontime, even in these, it felt somewhat hot.
Anning's body was not very heat tolerant.
At noon, after having her meal, she changed into light clothing. She sat upright on the couch, speaking with Helan Zhi.
Helan Zhi was now a girl of seventeen or eighteen, at an age where girls are typically married.
However, due to Prince Kang's relationship, Helan Zhi hadn't matched with anyone, and Anning had not allowed her into the palace, hence she remained unmarried till now.
This year also coincided with the Imperial Examination. Since it had passed, Anning wanted to consider keeping one of the newly successful scholars of good character as her son-in-law.
She was discussing this matter with Helan Zhi.
Helan Zhi's face was blushing deeply, looking extremely shy.
Anning asked her, "What type are you looking for? Let me ask Yu'er to keep an eye out."
