Ye Zimo glanced at Gong Yunxiao. Although his status was not as high as that of the prince, his feelings for Yueyue must be greater than theirs.
Ye Ziming helped Fang Xiyue walk ahead, while Gong Yunxiao and Song Yifan followed behind, each carrying a bucket and a fishing rod.
Fang Xiyue may not be able to catch many fish, but she needs to have all the necessary equipment.
Gong Yunxiao and Song Yifan watched the two walk ahead, feeling extremely jealous. However, Ye Ziming had been accompanying Fang Xiyue all this time, and they hadn't participated. It would be too immature of them to argue now.
The group arrived at the riverbank. This river originally existed on the mountain, but was later expanded by the villagers, who blocked the river at both ends to raise fish.
So while others might lack fish to eat, their village never does. Basically, no village lives better than theirs, which is why some people are willing to form marriage alliances.
There are many fish in this river, and Fang Xiyue comes here to fish purely for fun.
A row of small wooden chairs is placed by the river. People in the village often come here to fish when they have nothing to do, and the fish they catch are taken to the canteen.
Fang Xiyue sat on a tree stump, holding a fishing rod in her hand. Gong Yunxiao and Ye Zimo sat on either side of her, while Song Yifan sat next to Gong Yunxiao.
Fishing requires quiet, otherwise the fish will be scared away, but few people can resist the urge to stay silent.
For example, Song Yifan couldn't help but put down his fishing rod after sitting for a while and ran to squat down next to Fang Xiyue.
"Yueyue, do you want to come home with me to meet our parents? I've already told them about us, and they said they want to meet you."
Of course, Song Yifan didn't say that he was given to Fang Xiyue by the prince, nor did he say that Fang Xiyue was a bandit. Instead, he said that he fell in love with a woman at first sight and then fell in love with her again.
He wasn't disgusted by Fang Xiyue's bandit identity, but rather that the fewer people who knew about it, the better, so as not to give people cause for a big fuss.
Furthermore, since the prince has already granted this prefecture as his fief, Xiyue and the others will soon have the status of ordinary citizens, so there is no need to tell you about their previous identities.
Given his parents' cautious nature, they probably wouldn't have let him come looking for someone if they knew Xi Yue's identity.
"Have you thought this through? I have more than one husband now. Do you think your parents will agree? Isn't it better for us to stay like this?"
Fang Xiyue wanted to marry Ye Zimo, and having already promised to marry him, she would not go back on her word.
Gong Yunxiao just said that he would give them ordinary identities, so she could marry Ye Zimo normally, with a marriage certificate and registered with the government.
As for the princes, generals, and sons of ministers, they couldn't give her a proper title. After all, there was a difference in their social status, and a mismatch in social standing wouldn't be blessed by everyone.
Moreover, she had no intention of entering a man's harem. Given her status, even if she married them, she would at most be a concubine, and they would have a principal wife in the future, which was not what she wanted.
It's fine as it is now; they can come back to visit whenever they want, but she won't go with them. She's used to making her own decisions and doesn't want to follow the rules of a wealthy family.
“No, if they don’t see you, they’ll think I’m lying and they’ll make me marry someone else. I only want you.”
Song Yifan liked Fang Xiyue from the moment he saw her, but because the prince was there, he only dared to steal a glance at her.
He was overjoyed when the prince approached him, but he had to pretend to be unwilling, otherwise the prince would definitely have a problem with him.
Now that everything has gone as he wished, he can no longer let Xiyue fall into someone else's arms like this; he must grant her this title.
"Third Master, you must know that I can't have only one husband. Under the current circumstances, I will not actually marry you or the Prince. As you know, the only one who can marry me is Zi Mo."
Fang Xiyue didn't want to hurt Song Yifan, but the truth is the truth, and it can't be changed by not saying it.
"But I will feel uneasy and sad. I hope that I hold the same place in your heart as they do. Why can he have a title but I can't?"
Song Yifan lowered his head in disappointment, which made Fang Xiyue feel a little sorry for him.
Fang Xiyue reached out and patted his head, "Otherwise, I'll establish a female household, and you can all marry me."
Fang Xiyue said jokingly, knowing how noble these people were and that they would never do such a thing.
Unexpectedly, Song Yifan raised his head, his eyes shining, "Okay, okay, when are you going to the Minister's mansion to propose marriage?"
Fang Xiyue sighed helplessly, "Are you serious?" She was just joking.
“Of course, I’m very serious.” Song Yifan stood up. “I’ll go tell the Prince.” He darted over to Gong Yunxiao in two steps.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, let Yueyue be registered as a female household, and I will marry her." Song Yifan was genuinely happy; as long as she had a formal title, he would be able to keep her tied to him.
Gong Yunxiao frowned slightly. He hadn't expected Song Yifan to come up with this idea. If the chance of Song Yifan marrying Fang Xiyue was 50%, then he didn't even have a 10% chance.
It wasn't that he was unwilling, but rather that his status didn't allow it; if he did, he'd probably get his legs broken by his father, the Emperor.
However, this is not a bad solution. At least Song Yifan might have a legitimate status, and as Song Yifan's servant, there shouldn't be any problem with him coming and going from his home. In this way, no one will gossip about Yueyuehao.
"I will have someone take care of it immediately."
Gong Yunxiao beckoned to his guards to take care of the matter, as they were already counting the number of people in the village.
Once the list is finalized, this area can be established as a separate village, and the original Black Cloud Village will become Black Cloud Village.
It just so happens that I haven't gone to get it notarized yet, so it's still easy to change Xiyue's household registration to female.
"Your Highness, since you are now going to do it, why not just add my name to Yueyue's name?"
This way we won't have to go to the government office again. We were originally planning to get married after Yueyue gave birth, so this is just a little earlier than expected.
Ye Ziming had been paying close attention to the conversation. When he heard that Yueyue was to be registered as a female household, he immediately asked to have his name added so that he would be the first husband. Otherwise, he might be squeezed out.
"Okay." Gong Yunxiao looked at Ye Zimo for a moment, and finally nodded.
He gave the guard a wink, and the guard bowed his head and went over. Gong Yunxiao gave him some private instructions, and the guard nodded and left.
Ye Ziming always felt that things might not develop the way he expected, and the result was exactly as he expected. That very night, Fang Xiyue received her household registration.
She had four husbands' names and birth dates registered under her name: Gong Yunxiao, Nan Xuan, Song Yifan, and Ye Zimo.
Ye Ziming's smile was almost gone; this prince had actually disregarded the dignity of the royal family and done such a thing.
I wonder what dangerous things the Emperor and the others will do after they find out. Will they harm Xiyue?
