In some places in Da Liang, there is a custom of arranging engagements for children. As soon as a child is born, a marriage is arranged. Before they can walk or talk, a fiancé or fiancée is already in place. The children constantly see each other from a young age and become familiar with each other, which is considerably better than blind marriages.
Chen Jinyu found it amusing yet helpless: "Mother, you shouldn't say such things. The Emperor allowing Kang to enter the palace is for him to be a reading companion, not a child groom."
"It's quite similar," Mrs. Yao said quickly, laughing softly, "Kang is just over a year younger than Princess Bao'er, so their ages match well. Childhood friends growing up together, it seems only natural."
To say that Chen Jinyu never considered this matter would be impossible. As a mother, how could she not plan for her son? However, the child is still so young, and it's better not to think much about things that are yet to happen.
