"Honey, shouldn't we start preparing for our own wedding?"
Ye Qingyu came to Su Nanxi's room at night, and after listening to Su Nanxi talk for a few minutes, she asked a question very seriously.
The meaning was obvious, and Su Nanxi understood it, but she didn't respond directly.
"The Empress Dowager dotes on you so much and wants to find you the best wife in the world. Look at me now, I don't have any advantages. In the capital, I'd be at the bottom. After I returned to the capital, not a single person dared to come and propose! Alas, our marriage is in jeopardy!"
Su Nanxi replied to Ye Qingyu quietly, and what she said was the truth.
The Empress Dowager was secretly searching for a good daughter-in-law. A combination of wisdom and beauty was the first choice; a clean reputation and no messy entanglements were a must; and a gentle and generous nature that could support her status was a bonus!
I heard that quite a few were secretly selected, but Su Nanxi was not among them.
Su Nanxi understood very well that she had no advantage at all. If it were the original owner, she might have had some hope, but after disappearing and returning to the capital, rumors spread everywhere. Although they were eventually quelled, they left a bad impression on the Empress Dowager.
She knew perfectly well that she had a knot in her heart!
Besides, there are plenty of noble ladies in the capital. If you take your time, you're bound to find someone suitable and satisfactory. After all, it's all the same for everyone!
Ye Qingyu was displeased. "What nonsense are you talking about, wife? In my heart, you are the best in the world. No one else can compare! You are the first and the last, that's true! You already have me, why would you still be thinking about marriage proposals? I've stopped all those who wanted to propose to you!"
Su Nanxi was taken aback. She looked up at Ye Qingyu in disbelief, her lips twitching. "You pinched my peach blossom?"
Ye Qingyu didn't think he was wrong at all; he was in the right. So, he spoke with righteous indignation, "My wife already has me as her husband. If we don't pluck those peach blossoms, are we going to save them for the New Year? With me as her husband, isn't my wife satisfied?"
Su Nanxi sighed. This was something Ye Qingyu was capable of doing. She wondered if her popularity had dropped so low that not a single suitor had proposed marriage. Was the Marquis's mansion really not worth befriending?
So that's not how it is!
This person is the one pulling the strings behind the scenes!
But it's good that it saved me a lot of trouble, otherwise I would have had to deal with it.
"Satisfied! However, we don't have any relationship now. To officially establish our relationship, it's up to you!"
"Okay! Honey, I'll arrange it as soon as I get back! I'll have good news in less than two days!"
Ye Qingyu left in a hurry, unlike usual when it would take her a long time to get her to leave.
Su Nanxi didn't care what methods he used; it was what he had to do. If he couldn't even get past the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, she would be in a difficult position too!
She can't very well go and ask for a marriage proposal herself, can she?
That would only make those people look down on you even more.
After returning, Ye Qingyu immediately put the plan into action.
Yao Mengru was the first to be dealt with because she had sent someone to assassinate Su Nanxi, so Ye Qingyu showed her no mercy.
Moreover, Yao Mengru was ignorant of her own limitations and had delusions that disgusted Ye Qingyu, who loathed her to the extreme.
Duke Cheng was still hesitant and conflicted about how to handle the situation better. Subconsciously, he still wanted to protect Yao Mengru, but later events made him give up.
Yao Mengru and her daughter became the laughing stock of the capital, and even the Duke of Cheng was pushed to the top of the trending searches. The past of the Duke of Cheng's mansion was dug up, and he lost all face!
The situation was so explosive that there was no time to deal with it, and the development of the situation was out of control. The public's gossip was burning fiercely and could not be extinguished at all!
This even alarmed the Emperor. As expected, the Duke of Cheng was severely reprimanded, had his salary reduced, and was sent home to reflect on his actions.
The Duke of Cheng was on the verge of a mental breakdown several times, clearly unable to accept it. After returning home, his imposing manner weakened, and he dared not reprimand his eldest children at will.
When Su Nanxi heard about it, she knew that Ye Qingyu had made a move. She asked Bai Lu to give Yao Mengru a final surprise gift, hoping that Yao Mengru would like it.
Not long after, Su Nanxi received a message from the palace saying that the Empress missed her and wanted her to come to the palace to keep her company for half a day.
Su Nanxi knew perfectly well that it wasn't the Empress who missed her; it was most likely the Empress Dowager who wanted to see her!
As expected, the Empress was just a tool; the one who truly wanted to see Su Nanxi was the Empress Dowager.
Su Nanxi thought she would be subjected to all sorts of difficulties. Sigh, everyone says it's not easy being a royal daughter-in-law. She has to be on her guard!
But, unexpectedly, she had a very smooth journey!
There was a slightly awkward atmosphere when they first met, but afterwards everyone treated her incredibly well!
This completely baffled her.
Later, she accidentally touched the beads on her hand and suddenly realized what was going on.
The string of beads was a gift from the master craftsman, who instructed her not to take it off.
It seems that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's attitude towards her changed after they saw the beads on her hand!
Tsk, did she unintentionally give herself a huge advantage?
Su Nanxi always felt that the head chef was no ordinary person; he was exceptionally skilled and must have been highly respected in the eyes of those in power!
She really needs to thank the master chef.
Su Nanxi had a very happy half-day trip to the palace, and none of the things she had worried about before happened.
She had barely returned to the Marquis's residence when she heard that someone had come to propose marriage and had sent betrothal gifts!
Before Su Nanxi could even sit down, someone rushed over to report.
She was speechless, sighed and rubbed her forehead. Was this person really that serious?
So impatient!
If Ye Qingyu were there, she would definitely say something like, "As if it's nothing!"
What if my wife runs away because I'm late?
I'll feel at ease once I marry my wife!
He didn't want to be separated from his wife, so they would always sneak off to meet up at night, making it very difficult for them to be seen in public!
He has been patient for a long time!
Now that no one is objecting, what are we waiting for!
Should he wait for his rivals to realize what's happening and try to steal his wife away?
Marquis Anping was startled and dared not refuse outright, so he used Su Nanxi's wishes as an excuse, thinking he could delay it.
However, once Su Nanxi found out who had come to propose marriage, she agreed without hesitation, leaving Marquis Anping with a lump in his throat, choking on his words!
I kept thinking to myself, "A daughter is like a tree that can't be kept at home once she grows up!"
Suddenly it dawned on me that perhaps my daughter and the young prince who had fallen into exile knew each other long ago!
They weren't exactly strangers, which offered me some comfort.
If we can't change it, then let them do whatever they want.
Su Nanxi appeared out of nowhere and immediately seized the title of Little Princess!
Those noble ladies who originally had a great chance of winning were all about to have their dreams shattered.
"No matter what those people say! My wife is my chosen one! Some people are just jealous and resentful! We have our own online army, so we're not afraid of them!"
"They'll just try to create new hype and divert their attention! I'm not afraid of them! I won this championship through my own merit! You're already mine! Who can take you from me?"
