Chapter 24 Let your sister marry if you don't want to!
Early next morning.
Cheng Jinyang woke up from his sleep with a blood concentration of about two thousand horses.
Li Qingwan and Yang Wangshu were also promoted to the fourth rank.
The power of Xiaoli is so terrifying!
Wouldn't it be nice to bring other girls here some other time to upgrade collectively? Everyone will also like Xiaoli more.
After all, as Xiaoli's favorite person, I don't allow anyone to dislike Xiaoli!
After washing up in the bathroom, Cheng Jinyang returned to the bedroom and saw Su Lili sitting on the edge of the bed, feeling her belly and looking slightly dazed.
"Feeling uncomfortable?" he asked quickly.
"No." Su Lili shook her head, "She was moving around in my stomach."
"Why is our daughter so naughty?" Cheng Jinyang pretended to be angry, "I have to educate her well when she is born."
"No." Su Lili still shook her head, "You can't bully her."
Cheng Jinyang:…………
Well, I am no longer Xiaoli’s favorite person.
Li Qingwan and Yang Wangshu also woke up here. After listening to their conversation just now, they came over to ask Su Lili how she felt about being pregnant.
Cheng Jinyang said goodbye to everyone and went out. When he came to the conference room, he saw that his father-in-laws were all here strangely, and they all looked very serious.
"Jinyang." Wang Maohong said in a deep voice, "There have been rumors in the palace that the Queen Mother plans to recruit you to be the consort of the eldest princess of Nankang."
Cheng Jinyang said in his heart, he immediately showed a solemn expression, and after a while he said:
"I can't agree. Since there are rumors in the palace without a formal decree, it means that they still want to see my attitude. I will immediately send someone out to spread the word..."
Seeing how straightforwardly he refused, the expressions of the fathers-in-law softened.
Zheng Dehui waved his hand and said:
"Jinyang, it is not appropriate to express your position at this time. If the Queen Mother feels that she cannot save face, then the situation will become troublesome."
What kind of person the Empress Dowager Yu is in the palace, you all know very well that she is emotional, easy to hold grudges, and has a clear distinction between love and hate. Anyone who offends her will definitely take revenge to the end, without caring about the consequences.
The fact that such a person occupies a high position makes the courtiers extremely troublesome.
In short, try your best to avoid making her unhappy, lest she come up with any disgusting intentions for you.
Of course, it is impossible to directly agree to become the concubine. If the princess sister becomes the main wife, won’t all the daughters of the families here become concubines? This is absolutely not possible!
After a long discussion, everyone quickly reached an agreement:
Cheng Jinyang must not refuse, otherwise he will definitely offend Empress Dowager Yu. However, the father-in-laws can send a message to the palace, asking Empress Dowager Yu to show her kindness and choose a good son-in-law.
In this way, Empress Dowager Yu would still be angry, but if so many noble families came to admonish her at the same time, it would inevitably arouse her fear at the same time, so she would definitely subconsciously ask Yu Yuangui for advice.
As a result, the key figure in determining the situation changed from Queen Mother Yu to Yu Yuangui.
In contrast, Yu Yuangui has a clearer understanding of the nobles, and the risk of subsequent failure is smaller... Of course, it cannot be said that there is no such thing. Both brothers and sisters are impulsive people, so they have to contact Yu Yuangui in advance and call him in advance.
A dose of vaccination.
After the matter was agreed upon, Cheng Jinyang decided not to express his position yet, but Wang Maohong would call Wuchang first.
After handling the afternoon business, Cheng Jinyang returned to the back house and found that the girls had already arrived.
Obviously, if it was because they avoided suspicion before marriage, now the father-in-laws really have a sense of crisis and are worried that if Cheng Jinyang gets impulsive and gets carried away and agrees to be the consort, it will be completely troublesome.
"Jinyang, does His Highness want you to be your consort?" Xing Yunzhi asked worriedly.
"No." Cheng Jinyang shook his head, "I guess it's because my reputation for excellence has spread to the Yu family, and they think they can use this to win over me."
The girls were speechless. Is it appropriate for me to say that I am excellent?
But what's even more outrageous is that he actually hasn't exaggerated. If it weren't for the giant steel weapon, how could the Wu family and the Yu family think so highly of him?
"Wanrou, what do you think we should do?" Everyone was at a loss, but suddenly an idea came to Miss Qingqing.
After all, when Cheng Jinyang encountered a problem in the past, he would seek help from the all-powerful Miss Wang, which almost formed a stereotype for everyone. Now that Qingqing reminded them, everyone started talking in a variety of ways:
"Wanrou, please help me!"
"Wanrou, what should I do?"
"Wanrou, if Jinyang becomes the consort, then you will become a concubine! I will serve tea and water to His Highness every day..."
Wang Wanrou was indifferent in front of her, but when she heard the "concubine" behind her, she raised her eyebrows and said with a sneer:
"I'm overthinking it. Before the imperial edict is issued, can Jinyang successfully become the prince-in-law? Will all the nobles be like local chickens and dogs?"
"We are not doubting the abilities of our elders, but what should we do if the imperial edict is really issued?" Cui Jinqi said worriedly.
"Then rebel." Wang Wanrou said with a sneer, "A first-class giant divine soldier, are you afraid that he will confiscate your home and exterminate your clan?"
Everyone:………………
Please don't talk about this kind of thing lightly, okay?
But since Miss Wang has said so, we can only rely on the elders to intervene, and there is no better way.
Everyone was also thinking attentively, frowning from time to time, biting their nails, and looking like they were racking their brains.
"I'm going to make some food for everyone." Zheng Qiupei said with a forced smile.
"It's okay." Sister Xiaopei wiped the corners of her eyes and went to the kitchen.
In the palace, Princess Nankang hurried to the palace and saw Luling talking to the Queen Mother.
"Mother!" Princess Sister asked unceremoniously, "Is it your idea or my uncle's idea to make Jinyang my consort?"
"It was decided jointly by the Ai family and your uncle." Queen Mother Yu replied with a smile, "Xingnan, I remember that you liked that young man very much."
"I like him, but I won't go to the extent of using the imperial edict to embarrass him." Princess Sister said unceremoniously.
Empress Dowager Yu's face didn't look good at this time: "If it wasn't for you, why would the Ai family need to ask for an imperial edict? You are already in your early twenties and you haven't decided on a consort yet. How will the world look at you?"
"What does the world think of me and what does it have to do with me?" Princess Sister said coldly, "If Jinyang looks down on me because of this, does it make sense even if everyone in the world respects me? I am not marrying a person from the world!"
Lu Ling stood expressionless beside him and snickered secretly. My sister is extremely tough, but it's a pity that my mother won't accept your words at all.
Sure enough, Queen Mother Yu lost face even more when she heard this. She stood up angrily and scolded her:
"You are so stubborn! Do you know how much your father worried about your marriage before he passed away? The Ai family went out of their way to appoint your consort, but your feelings have wronged you?"
"Okay! Since you don't want to be the prince-in-law, then let Luling do it!"
