After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chapter 118 Qi Bai should get married

Father Yao, Zhou Hanjin's uncle, was holding a cup of tea and sipping it slowly, and then he said calmly, "Your Highness, why are you so angry? Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up?"

Yao's father's calm and composed attitude made Zhou Hanjin's face even uglier. He frowned and looked at his uncle who was still leisurely sipping tea over there, and said with a slightly dissatisfied tone.

"Uncle, how can you drink tea now? The third brother is pressing us step by step and has destroyed many of our plans. If this continues, I'm afraid that all our secret plans will be destroyed by him!"

As Zhou Hanjin spoke, he vented his dissatisfaction and shook his sleeves several times.

Father Yao was not upset by Zhou Hanjin's anger, but his expression did not change at all. He smiled faintly, "Your Highness, you should remember that you are a prince, not a rich young man. How can you be worthy of being a prince if you are so confused by a mere bandit suppression? "

His calm reminder made the eunuchs serving in the room lower their heads silently, not daring to breathe. Only your highness's uncle would dare to speak like this. If it were anyone else, he would have been hated by your highness long ago.

Father Yao's words shocked the waiter, but calmed Zhou Hanjin down temporarily. "From what my uncle said, does he have a solution?"

Father Yao gently moved the lid of the teacup, his movements neither hurried nor slow, "Of course there is a way. People always come up with ways. Besides, the emperor is far away. If he leaves the capital, what does it matter even if he is General Tang's son? Huzhou... that is our territory!"

Ever since the Yao family had a queen consort, who is now the mother of the eighth prince, the Yao family has gone from being an ordinary noble family to a family with the potential to become the in-laws of the future new emperor.

In the past ten years, the Yao family has placed many clan members in the court as officials. Most of them did not take the right path, but were bought through private... transactions.

The Yao family was supported entirely by the Eighth Prince and Queen Yao. Even the Eighth Prince's uncle only got a duke title of no importance and had no real power.

But even so, as long as the Eighth Prince is around and there is a possibility of him vying for the throne, this has given the Yao family an opportunity to take advantage of over the years, and many Yao family members have been arranged to serve as officials in the capital and other places.

Although they had no real talent or knowledge, with this arrangement, the Yao family's foundation in the court began to become unshakable.

Aristocratic families have a natural advantage in this regard. You pull me and I pull you, and our interests are bound together, and eventually we become big trees that outsiders dare not shake easily.

Father Yao took a sip of tea slowly and said, "Your Highness, what you need to do now is not to keep an eye on these unimportant things and people. The most urgent thing is to arrange a marriage with Qing'er. As for the rest, I will send someone to keep an eye on them for you."

Zhou Hanjin, with his back to Yao's father, had a quick flash of disgust in his eyes, but this disgust was quickly concealed.

He knew that his own strength was not enough to get rid of his uncle's support, so... no matter how much he disliked the feeling of being controlled, he knew how to be patient.

The Qing'er that my uncle mentioned was naturally his cousin, my uncle's legitimate daughter.

My uncle had discussed this marriage with my mother a few years ago, but he was still very young at the time and did not realize how disgusting it would be to have such an important matter as marriage controlled by other people.

Zhou Hanjin knew that at this moment, whether he was willing or not, he had to stabilize his uncle first. He didn't have much help on his side, and he must not turn against his uncle easily.

"I still need to discuss this matter with my mother. Besides, the prince's marriage is a big deal. I'm afraid I still need to discuss this with my father. The wedding date cannot be set so soon."

Father Yao curled his lips in an ambiguous manner. With his thick beard, he gave people a sense of deep shrewdness, especially after listening to Zhou Hanjin's words.

He just smiled and put down the teacup in his hand. "That's good, Your Highness. I want to remind you not to forget this."

Father Yao never called himself a subject in front of Zhou Hanjin. He considered himself Zhou Hanjin's uncle. Unlike other people, he naturally would not do so in front of Zhou Hanjin.

His meaningful smile was, of course, because... he knew Zhou Hanjin agreed to this reluctantly, but so what? As long as the goal was achieved, Father Yao didn't care about the process.

He wanted to help Zhou Hanjin sit on the supreme throne, and the next queen must continue to be from the Yao family, and the Yao family's wealth and prosperity must continue to flourish!

Since a consensus was reached on this topic, Yao's father naturally began to talk to Zhou Hanjin about the countermeasures regarding Xi'an City and the suppression of bandits.

The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery received a family letter, which was addressed to Yun.

Chu Xi realized that Jiang Zhenyao's help to her this time might very well... bring trouble upon herself. His Majesty was already very wary of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, and military generals were also his primary targets of defense.

It’s not that the Jiang family is not on the defense list, but compared to other generals, the Jiang family can still make Your Majesty feel at ease for the time being, but it is only temporary.

Therefore, the fact that Jiang Zhenyao rushed to Huzhou regardless of everything and personally rescued her this time made Chu Xi realize a very important issue.

The emperor would not take anyone's thoughts and suffering into consideration. In order to reassure himself, I'm afraid he would...match people randomly.

Although Chu Xi didn't want to delay Jiang Zhenyao, it would be better to let the emperor point randomly and not know who to point to in the end?

She thought about it and felt that Jiang Zhenyao's proposal was not impossible. Anyway, as long as she didn't get married, neither the court officials nor the emperor would be at ease.

Jiang Zhenyao's arranged marriage is imminent, and I am afraid that I will be no less likely.

The content of Chu Xi's letter was very simple. He didn't want to delay his cousin Yun Qingyin, but asked his mother Yun to go to the Weiguo Mansion to propose marriage to Jiang Zhenyao.

When Yun saw the contents of the letter, her fingers trembled unconsciously and her face turned pale. She was usually calm, but now she was so frightened by the contents of the letter that she dropped the embroidered handkerchief in her hand.

Finally...has it come to this?

She couldn't imagine how dangerous the situation around her daughter was that forced her to make such a decision.

Seeing this, the old nanny beside Yun hurriedly picked up the embroidered handkerchief and called softly, "Madam? Madam?"

Yun's eyes were slightly red. "We are the ones who implicated her. If it weren't for that incident...she would be..."

The old nanny was one of the few people who knew the truth. She naturally knew why the lady suddenly lost her composure. She looked around and gave the maids a look to retreat.

She reminded him in a serious voice, "Madam, be careful of ears. Besides, what the prince said is a good thing. Our prince is also old enough to get married."

Yun was just out of control for a moment, which was why she acted like that. Now, after being reminded by the old nanny, she naturally corrected her gaffe quickly.

She sat upright and closed her eyes, "You are right, it is time for Qibai to get married..."
