Meng Wanzhou is one year older than him. In two years, she will be eighteen. For a woman, she will no longer be able to get married.
Besides, Meng Wanzhou's reputation has been ruined by Mu Yanheng and Yin Wenxiu. If she delays getting married, she will be under great pressure.
Jing Xi coughed lightly and said, "You can also get engaged first. Meng Wanzhou is already sixteen."
Shangguan Ruoli still felt that his son was too young, and he didn't want his "little cabbage" to be taken away from him so early.
Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "It's okay to get engaged first, and it's not impossible to marry directly. You don't have to consummate the marriage first."
Jing Xi gave her father a grateful look, "Father is still wise."
Shangguan Ruoli's face darkened, "Am I a bad guy who beats mandarin ducks with a stick?"
Jing Xi hurriedly ran over, pinching her shoulders and beating her legs, "Queen Mother, you didn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds."
Shangguan Ruoli raised the corners of his lips and snorted coldly: "It's really too late to stay!"
Although her five children were dear to her heart, Jing Xi was the best at coaxing her. The thought of her raised son going to please other women and having a filial mother-in-law made her unhappy.
Taste.
Seeing her sour look, Dongming Ziyu couldn't help laughing, "It will take more than half a year for the Ministry of Etiquette to come up with a set of procedures. By then, Jing Xi will be almost seventeen, so she won't be too young."
Although his thoughts have become more open-minded under the influence of Shangguan Ruoli in recent years, his deep-rooted thoughts cannot be changed. Get married early, have children early, and have many children and grandchildren!
Shangguan Ruoli pouted and felt unhappy, but in the end she didn't say anything against it. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so she can't interfere too much.
Jing Yu smiled enigmatically and said, "Mother, you don't have to worry about this. Although Meng Wanzhou is Jing Xi's perfect match, good things are hard to come by, and it's not that fast to get married."
When Jing Xi heard this, his expression turned ugly, "How much more grinding is needed? We are already in trouble!"
Although Shangguan Ruoli felt sour, she was also anxious because her son's marriage was not going well, "What's going on? It's not that fast. How long do we have to wait?"
Jing Yu lowered his eyes and calculated. That way, ahem, it really looked like that.
Soon, he raised his eyelids and said, "Just in time, Jing Xi will get married when she turns eighteen."
Jing Xi was a little unhappy, "But Meng Wanzhou was already nineteen years old at that time. I'm afraid she wouldn't marry me, right?"
Jing Yu smiled lightly and said, "It's yours and I can't run away. Why are you so anxious?"
Jing Xi immediately hugged Jing Yu's arm and said coquettishly: "Good brother, is there any way you can help me get a wife as soon as possible?"
Jing Yu nodded slightly, "It's not impossible to change your destiny against the will of heaven, but I will bear the karma caused by it."
"Ah? Then no!" Jing Xi objected immediately, "Two years too late is just two years too late. We are all young and there is no need to change our fate against the will of heaven."
Shangguan Ruoli also said: "That's right, that's right."
She didn't want her eldest son to get hurt. Jing Xi wouldn't be able to marry a wife until she was forty or fifty, so she thought it was too early to get married at eighteen.
Jing Xi asked: "Is it okay to get engaged?"
Jing Yu nodded enigmatically, "Just do whatever you want."
Jing Xi said with a smile: "Then let the etiquette department start to handle it tomorrow."
But my heart was pounding, what would happen to hinder their marriage?
…
"What?!" The teacup in Yin Wenxiu's hand fell to the ground, "Jing Xi has already discussed marriage with Meng Wanzhou?"
Princess Shumin looked at her pale face and said, "You are already married, why are you so excited?"
Yin Wenxiu's eyes flashed with madness, "No, it's impossible, Meng Wanzhou is not worthy of Jing Xi!"
Princess Shumin said calmly: "You can't be wrong. The Queen Mother announced that Mrs. Meng and Meng Wanzhou would enter the palace. Then the Ministry of Rites received the Queen Mother's decree and began to prepare for the wedding of Jing Xi and Meng Wanzhou. I heard that the birth dates of the two have been
Just submit it to Qin Tian for monitoring."
Yin Wenxiu sat slumped on the chair, her eyes red.
The emperor knew this. He must have calculated it and found it suitable before approving their marriage. Let Qin Tian monitor the calculation, which was just a formality.
Princess Shumin knew her daughter's thoughts and sighed: "Human life is destined. You are already married to Mu Yanheng, so don't think about useless things and live a good life."
"No, I don't agree with Jing Xi marrying Meng Wanzhou!" Yin Wenxiu was almost crazy.
Jing Xi can marry anyone, but she can't marry Meng Wanzhou, otherwise she will become a joke!
She deliberately climbed into bed to steal someone else's husband, but she turned out to be an extremely noble princess. This was really a slap in the face.
Meng Wanzhou can only marry a minor official, or even a servant, to show off her vision and identity as Yin Wenxiu!
Princess Shumin warned in a cold voice: "You'd better not do anything stupid. If you combine your horoscopes, the palace will send maids and maids to serve Meng Wanzhou and teach the princess the rules and etiquette."
Your little tricks are nothing in the eyes of the nun. When the time comes, not only will this young master be affected, but Mu Yanheng will also be ruined by you!"
Yin Wenxiu calmed down, with a sinister look in her eyes, "Don't worry, mother, I won't do it myself."
Princess Shumin disagreed and said: "Those trash from the Meng family may not even be able to get close to Meng Wanzhou and they will be beaten to death."
Yin Wenxiu's eyes flickered, as if she was planning something.
Seeing that she still refused to give up, Princess Shumin beat the people around her and said: "Watch your master, if she gets into trouble again, I will sell you and your family to do hard labor in the bitter cold places of the north!"
The maids and women hurriedly knelt down and said yes, secretly praying that Yin Wenxiu would not act like a monster again.
Princess Shumin said some harsh words again. Now the Yin family's business and the people in the court are being squeezed out. I'm afraid it's Jing Xi who is venting her anger on Meng Wanzhou.
Moreover, given the previous relationship between Mu Yanheng and Meng Wanzhou, he might not be able to get along well in the court. It would be good if he could keep his official position. It might not be easy to get promoted in the short term.
If Yin Wenxiu makes trouble again, he will be in bad luck.
But Yin Wenxiu and Princess Shumin had different ideas. She felt that instead of letting her wait for others to forgive her honestly, it would be better to directly prevent Meng Wanzhou from marrying Jing Xi!
If Meng Wanzhou cannot marry Jing Xi, then why does the royal family still suppress their family?
However, now she can't enter the palace or get close to Jing Xi. She also has a feud with the Meng family. The Meng family are all on guard against her, and they can't attack Meng Wanzhou.
what can we do about it?
Yin Wenxiu racked her brains to think of how to harm others. She didn't even know how to say goodbye or get out of Yin's house.
Sitting in the sedan chair, wringing his handkerchief, frowning, scratching his head and head anxiously as he couldn't think of a good solution.
Suddenly, the sedan stopped.
She raised the sedan curtain irritably and asked, "What's going on?"
The maid walking outside said: "Miss, there is another funeral procession, let's get out of the way."
"Bad luck!" She watched the team passing by, and suddenly found Meng Wanqiu standing across the street, and her eyes lit up.
