Yang Wanyu was currently the Yang family's favorite, while Yang Wanning, the eldest daughter, was effectively abandoned.
Pushing Yang Wanning to the Third Prince was equivalent to cutting off his support from the in-laws. It could also drive a wedge between the Emperor and the Third Prince.
As for the Empress Dowager's niece, the Emperor would not marry her to any of the princes, especially the Third Prince.
Otherwise, the Empress Dowager might not always be on his side.
"A man should marry a wise wife. When Mrs. Gu was not feeling well two years ago, Yang Wanning helped her mother manage her dowry. It is said that she managed it well."
"I see; it was easy for Madam Cui to seize power right after that."
"That's..." The Empress knew this was because Yang Shicheng took advantage of Mrs. Gu's death and the snowstorm's impact to seize the dowry forcefully, but she could not say this clearly.
