Looking at Jiang Qianruo lying on the bed, looking like she might die at any moment, Gongye Siheng calmed himself down and spoke words that attracted people's attention.
Upon hearing this news, Emperor Mingde's face suddenly lit up with joy. "Did you hear that? The child is still waiting for you to grant her a marriage! Tell me quickly, which family is the girl?"
Ji Changying was also surprised.
In Northern Yan, it was heard that he had rejected several girls and refused to get married, which made the Emperor of Northern Yan so angry that he pointed at him and cursed him several times in public.
Why did his tone change completely after he came back?
Could it be...
Ji Changying was not a fool. When she saw Gongye Siheng looking at her, she immediately understood.
The tips of her ears gradually became covered with red, and then she turned her head and looked calmly at Jiang Qianruo's quilt, only to feel that the color was too dazzling and dizzying.
Emperor Mingde followed Gongye Siheng's gaze and pointed at him in surprise: "Could it be..."
Ji Fengshou's eyes instantly turned somewhat unfriendly. Could it be that this boy was planning to take advantage of his daughter?
Zhongli Zhou looked at Ji Changying, then at Gongye Siheng, and a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.
"Could it be Aying?" Jiang Qianruo reacted immediately when she saw his eyes.
This result was hard for Emperor Mingde to accept for a moment: "How could you! You..."
After thinking about it, he paused again.
Although Gongye Siheng's biological mother was a princess of the previous dynasty, his biological father was the emperor of Northern Yan, and now he is the crown prince of Northern Yan. Although his fate is unfortunate, he is now a good match for Aying in terms of status...
After taking another closer look at the two men's appearance, Emperor Mingde felt a little less uncomfortable.
Both of them are good-looking and have similar intelligence, so the child they give birth to should not be too bad either.
"Aying is so outstanding, it's normal for someone to like her! What does Aying think?"
It was fine if she hadn't had this idea before, but now that she had this idea, Jiang Qianruo's eyes immediately became different when she looked at the two of them. She became a little more energetic, asked Emperor Mingde to help her sit up, and looked at Ji Changying with a smile.
"I don't agree!"
No one expected that Prince Ping, who was standing aside, would suddenly speak up: "I had my eyes on Ah Ying and planned to marry my son Zhou! How could she be snatched away by someone else?"
Song Ruqing stood aside and looked at her husband in surprise. How come she didn't know when he had this idea?
Emperor Mingde stood up and glared at Prince Ping fiercely: "Your mother is asking Ah Ying, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Although the relationship between father and son has changed, Prince Ping is still very afraid of Emperor Mingde, and he quickly shuts up when he is glared at by him.
Seeing that Prince Ping was unable to do so, Ji Fengshou could only bite the bullet and go ahead himself: "Prince Gongye is from Northern Yan. My daughter Aying may not be accustomed to life in Northern Yan. I think this is inappropriate."
Mrs. Zhou was a little confused: "Why are you talking about getting married right after returning? So soon?"
Ji Changchuan looked at Gongye Siheng with a sullen face. "My Ji family's ancestral precept states that a man who is forty and childless may take a concubine, and the same applies to women choosing a husband. Crown Prince Gongye will be the emperor in the future, so I'm afraid he's not suitable for my sister. Besides, while parents are still alive, one shouldn't travel far away. Could it be that Crown Prince Gongye is willing to see our family separated and never see each other again?"
Ji Feng was stunned when he heard this.
When did their family have this ancestral motto? How come he didn't know about it?
Ji Changchuan gave him a look that said "now I have it", which successfully made Ji Fengshou stand aside and remain silent.
Gongye Siheng looked at Ji Changchuan and said bluntly, "Who said it's not suitable? A man in your Ji family can only take a concubine when he is 40 and has no children. My father has been a chaste man his entire life, and I am his only biological son. As his son, I can guarantee that for the rest of my life, whether I have children or not, I only want Ah Ying. I'd rather be without her than with someone else!"
Gongye Siheng pulled out an agreement from his pocket and said, "Words are not enough, written evidence is needed. This also has the imperial seal and his signature, signed by my father himself."
He knew that Emperor Mingde and Jiang Qianruo had made such a promise before. Although it turned out not to be satisfactory later, he would not make the same mistake.
After he set out on his journey, he wrote a letter back and asked Gong Yeji to help sign it, and then ordered someone to deliver it as quickly as possible.
Gongye Ji also tried his best for his son's marriage.
Not only did he stamp and sign, he also wrote a letter to Emperor Mingde personally to ask for his hand in marriage.
He was very sincere and was not only willing to give two cities as a betrothal gift, but also promised that as long as the two got married, he would immediately abdicate and let them live their own lives without interfering.
From then on, everything in Northern Yan would be decided by Gongye Siheng, who grew up under the care of Empress Dali.
This statement has said everything, both explicitly and implicitly, except for saying that as long as you agree, the child can come to your house.
Looking at this thing, Emperor Mingde couldn't say the words of refusal when they came to his lips.
Jiang Qianruo smiled as he looked at it. "You are much more sincere than some people. I believe in your sincerity today. Ah Ying, go back and think about it carefully. This agreement is perfect for you."
She casually handed the agreement in her hand to Ji Changying.
She took a quick look and found that it gave her the greatest freedom.
After they got married, he did not restrict her behavior or restrain her. She could even freely decide where to live and where to go. He silently supported her in doing whatever she wanted.
She even gave Ji Changying a divorce agreement in advance so that she could take it out and leave at any time if she was dissatisfied.
She is still an independent person.
After Ji Changying returned home, the whole family gathered around the agreement and discussed and compared it for a long time.
I couldn't find a better man than Gongye Siheng to match her.
For a moment, the whole family fell into silence.
Ji Changying smiled, "From an objective point of view, with this agreement, I can basically walk sideways in the Northern Yan Dali from now on. And it's also beneficial to me. After all, there are not many men who would allow their wives to do this after they get married."
"From a personal perspective, he's good-looking, and we've known each other for years, so we understand each other. Being with him, I don't know who's being wronged!"
Anyway, when Ji Changying thought about how she could always make Gongye Siheng so angry that he was speechless, her eyes narrowed.
Seeing her like this, Zhou shouted bluntly and clearly, "After all this talk, you're obsessed with him! You're just like me when I was obsessed with your father!"
