December 26, 289 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.
morning.
Pendragon, Baiyang Palace.
Su Cheng walked towards the meeting hall with unhurried steps.
The reason why Su Cheng came to Baiyang Palace early in the morning was because today was the day of the "Grand Council".
The "Grand Council" of the Britannia Empire was held irregularly.
When the emperor encounters a major event that requires calling all civil servants and knights to discuss, or encounters a major event that needs to be announced to all civil servants and knights, the emperor will convene a "grand council."
Generally speaking, when the emperor wanted to convene a "Grand Council", he would notify all civil servants the day before the convening that the knights were about to convene a "Grand Council" so that they would not be absent.
Last night, a messenger came to Su Cheng's residence and informed Su Cheng that the "Grand Council" would be held on December 26, that is, at 8 o'clock the next morning, and asked Su Cheng to arrive on time and not be absent.
If there is no valid reason, you cannot be absent from the "Grand Council". If you are absent from the "Grand Council" without any reason, that is a very serious matter!
The emperor asked you to come to a meeting, but you didn’t come?!
Therefore, although Su Chengcheng really didn't want to get up so early to attend the meeting at Baiyang Palace in the middle of winter, no matter how reluctant he was, Su Cheng could not miss the "Great Council" without any reason.
Therefore, Su Cheng had no choice but to get up bravely and brave the severe cold to come to Baiyang Palace.
Soon, Su Cheng entered the familiar meeting hall.
Many knights and civil servants had already arrived in the meeting hall early and immediately noticed Su Cheng's arrival.
Many knights and civil servants immediately bowed respectfully to Su Cheng.
Most of those who did not salute also cast friendly glances at Su Cheng.
Su Cheng found that there were almost no negative eyes cast on him.
The rescue battle of Lunde Kingdom has established Su Cheng's huge prestige in the hearts of everyone.
No one will look down upon Su Cheng anymore.
Su Cheng used his own efforts to earn the respect of everyone.
There are also many young knights. Wen Chen regards Su Cheng as his idol and hopes that he can achieve such outstanding military exploits at such a young age like Su Cheng.
Su Cheng also smiled very politely and nodded to everyone who saluted him.
At this time, Su Cheng found two acquaintances in the knight queue.
It's Isel and Alyssa.
Iser and Alyssa were standing in the middle of the knights' queue. The father and daughter seemed to be talking about something.
After seeing Isel and Alyssa, Su Cheng quickly walked over with a smile and said hello:
"Mr. Issel! Little Alyssa... No, Alyssa! Good morning!"
"Oh! It's Mr. Cheng, good morning to you too!" Iser responded with a smile.
After seeing Su Cheng coming, Alyssa also showed a charming smile.
"Good morning, Su Cheng."
After hearing Alyssa's greetings to Su Cheng, Isel couldn't help being slightly stunned.
"Huh? Alyssa, when did your relationship with Mr. Cheng become so good? When Mr. Cheng said hello to you before, didn't you always look like you were ignoring him? Why are you so enthusiastic now?"
As soon as Iser finished speaking, Alyssa pouted displeasedly, patted Iser's broad back hard, and said:
"Father, what you said is very inappropriate. What do you mean by 'I always look like I'm being irritated'?"
"Did I say something wrong?"
"Hmm..."
Alyssa wanted to refute, but her father was telling the truth and she had no way of refuting.
Before the rescue battle in the Lund Kingdom began, she was indeed quite indifferent to Su Cheng. When Su Cheng greeted her in a friendly way, she always looked indifferent.
"So, if I wasn't friends with Su Cheng before, of course I would be a little colder! Now that Su Cheng and I are friends, of course we can't be as cold as before!"
"oh?"
Iser had a look of surprise on his face.
"Daughter, have you become friends with Mr. Cheng?"
Alyssa rolled her eyes at Iser, and then said angrily:
"Yes, aren't you happy that I have a new friend now?"
"How can I be unhappy?" Isel waved his hand boldly, and then continued, "My daughter has an excellent friend. I am so happy! I haven't seen you have a new friend for a long time."
Then, Iser's face suddenly showed an intriguing and weird smile, and then he said to Alyssa in a joking tone:
"Actually, if you can improve your relationship with Mr. Cheng, you will be even happier as a father. My daughter, you are already 19 years old this year, and it will be the new year in a few days. You are already so old.
, but I’m not married yet. To be honest, I’m a little worried about being a father..."
After saying that, Iser showed a melancholy expression.
After listening to Isel's words, Alyssa's face immediately turned red from holding back, and then she said in a panic tone:
"Father, Father! Please don't say anything like 'I'm so old and I'm not married yet'! Indeed, indeed! I'm already 19 years old this year and will be 20 soon. I'm still not married at this age.
Girls are indeed rare! But I don’t think there’s anything shameful about it! I don’t care either!”
Although the level of medical care and diet in this different world is far superior to that of the Earth in the Middle Ages, the average age is still quite low.
The average age of men is only 39 years old, and that of women is only 42 years old.
Su Cheng didn't know what the average age of marriage was in other countries, but Su Cheng knew what the average age of marriage was in the Britannia Empire.
The average age of marriage for men in the Britannia Empire was 16 years old and for women it was 15 years old.
In other words, the vast majority of women get married as soon as they reach adulthood.
Kailuoer is 16 years old this year, but he is not married yet, and he does not even have a lover. This is relatively normal.
Alyssa is 19 years old this year and is about to turn 20, but she is still single...
This is a bit abnormal.
Alyssa can already be regarded as an "older leftover girl" in this different world.
Iser ignored Alyssa's words, but turned her head and said in a joking tone to Su Cheng:
"Mr. Cheng, my daughter is 2 years older than you. Although she is a little older, she is still a complete beauty. I wonder if you are willing to take the relationship with Alyssa further? I am very happy to see it.
Mr. Cheng, the relationship between a young talent like you and my daughter, who cannot get married, will go even further."
"I told you not to say that I can't get married! If I want, I can get married now!"
"Ah? This, this..."
Su Cheng glanced at Alyssa's beautiful face, which was no less beautiful than Carol's, and blushed slightly unconsciously.
Seeing that Su Cheng was hesitating, Alyssa couldn't help but said anxiously:
"Su Cheng! Why are you still so coy? You don't really take my father's jokes seriously, do you?"
"Actually, what I just said is not all a joke." Iser suddenly said seriously, "I am really happy to see the relationship between Mr. Cheng and you go further. After all, you can't find anyone else for your daughter now.
You can marry your partner."
