Hearing Situ Luoyun's heartfelt words, Hua Qingcheng was slightly touched. She didn't expect that the mother-in-law she met for the first time could plan so much for her.

For a powerless commoner hoping for a better future, Situ Luoyun's words were undoubtedly a huge temptation. By skipping several levels, she had earned the same qualification as a Juren (a juren) to directly participate in the imperial examination. However, she had no ambition to enter the government, so she was afraid she would only disappoint him.

But considering that no one can predict the future, maybe one day she will take the imperial examination for her husbands, so she doesn't want to say too much in advance.

"Thank you, mother-in-law. However, Qingcheng has always been used to a life of leisure and ease. Could you allow your son-in-law to reconsider this matter?"

"Okay, but I still hope you can consider this matter carefully." Although Situ Luoyun was a little disappointed, she would not force it. However, she still wanted to do her best to win talents for the court.

"Thank you, mother-in-law." Hua Qingcheng stood up from her seat and bowed to Situ Luoyun.

"Qingcheng, although Ye'er and you are already husband and wife, you have never performed the formal ceremony. What do you think about this?" Situ Luoyun asked casually while tidying up the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk.

"My dear mother-in-law, this is one of the reasons why I came to the Prime Minister's residence this time. After obtaining the consent of my mother-in-law and father-in-law, I would like to hold a wedding ceremony with Aye."

"Well, I'm very pleased that you have this intention. However, Huaqiao Village is a long way away. Before that, I want you to hold a wedding ceremony at the Prime Minister's Mansion. I believe Ye'er has mentioned the Xiahou Mansion to you. This will also put an end to Xiahou Yu's thoughts of coveting Ye'er."

"Mother-in-law has considered everything very carefully. Qingcheng will follow your arrangements." After hearing Situ Luoyun's words, Hua Qingcheng's heart relaxed a little. It seemed that her mother-in-law, the Prime Minister, had approved of her marriage with Aye.

"Qingcheng, to be honest, I originally wanted to have you marry into the Prime Minister's family, but when I heard that you already had a husband, I had to give up on this matter. But Ye'er is a daughter of gold after all, and it would be unfair to him to let him be your second husband. Are you... willing to give him the status of a commoner?" Situ Luoyun sighed slightly. Although it was impossible to keep a son when he grew up, she also wanted to fight for the greatest benefit for her son.

"Mother-in-law, this matter... I have to ask my doctor's opinion. I can't ignore his feelings. However, I can promise you that although Aye's first child will have the surname Hua, the second child, regardless of gender, can take the father's surname."

After all, Hua Qingcheng wasn't a real ancient person. In fact, she didn't care at all whether the child took the mother's or the father's surname. She made this arrangement only to consider the feelings of Hua's mother and father, as well as her mother-in-law and father-in-law.

"Are you serious?"

Situ Luoyun was delighted when he heard this. Although he might not be able to secure a common husband status for Ye'er, he could still ask himself, which son in Laifeng Country would marry off and have his wife's family willing to let the child take the husband's surname? Hua Qingcheng's generosity was truly unmatched by ordinary people.

"Of course it is absolutely true."

"Okay, that's great!"

Hua Qingcheng and Situ Luoyun were both very satisfied with the conversation in the study. Finally, they set the wedding ceremony of Hua Qingcheng and Situ Ye in the Prime Minister's Mansion on August 28th.
