Chapter 442 Why Do You Want to Get Married?

Upon learning that his sister was going to marry Prince Yun, Shu Tingfei was somewhat unhappy but could not find a reason. He knew Prince Yun, who was as capable as his father on the battlefield, and his knowledge was also well-known. Even if he went against his conscience, he could not find any faults in Prince Yun, and he knew he was definitely worthy of his sister.

But when he thought about his sister getting married, he felt uncomfortable. Why was his delicate, caring, sensible and lovely sister going to get married?

It would be great if they could stay like this forever, and he could raise his younger sister in the future. But now both mother and elder brother had agreed, and he couldn't refuse.

As for why the two of them are together, it is naturally because the younger sister is outstanding enough. Isn't it normal for Prince Yun to be in love with the younger sister? Even the most outstanding man is worthy of the younger sister.

But thinking about his sister getting married, he felt very reluctant.

"You... after you get married, it will be inconvenient for us to play together. And your friends will definitely miss you. Actually, there is no rush to get married. It doesn't matter if you can play for two years."

Shu Xiaoxiao twitched her lips. She still had two more years to play. By then her mother would be so anxious that she couldn't sleep. "It's okay. The emperor still keeps my title of Yongle Marquis. We can still get together when we have time in the future."

"What?"

Shu Tingfei's eyes widened: "You said you still retain the identity of Marquis Yongle, this... is awesome!" He gave a thumbs up. Apart from his sister, no one else would dress up as a man in accordance with the imperial order.

She was a little worried, "Sister, I hope Prince Yun has no objection to your doing this. If it really doesn't work, you should be more restrained after you get married. After all, you will be the prince's consort of the Dingbei Marquis's mansion. It's not good to be too... too free."

Although she is his own sister and he loves her very much, Shu Tingfei also knows that a married girl is different from an unmarried girl. Especially for a wealthy family like theirs, there are many things that women need to consider after marriage, especially reputation, which is of utmost importance. If the reputation is not good, it will be very serious.

She definitely doesn't have the freedom she has at her parents' home, not to mention that she is like my sister, who is dressing up as a man. If it gets out, it will be shocking, and it will definitely do more harm than good to my sister.

"Don't worry, Third Brother. I have my mind clear. First of all, this is allowed by the Emperor. Marquis Yongle will definitely appear in people's vision in the future. Secondly, Senior Brother also knows about this and agrees to it. If there is anything in the future, we can discuss it together. I will also pay attention to it."

Shu Xiaoxiao knew very well the constraints that women in this era were under, even if she didn't have to explain it clearly. The reason she could live a happy life now was not only because of herself but also because of the protection of her family. Otherwise, not to mention the strict dogmas in ancient times, even in modern times, injustice against women would still continue. If women want to live more beautifully than men, they often need to put in more effort.

Judging from the things she has been involved in over the past few years, if it were to be discovered that Marquis Yongle was a woman, not only herself but also the General's Mansion would be implicated.

If her reputation is ruined in the future, there are many inflexible and self-righteous old officials in the court. If her affairs are discovered, she will either be sentenced to death by hanging for three feet, or be sentenced to a lifetime of meditation. The possibility of the third option is very small, so she will definitely hide her identity.

Even if she wants to make it public, she should at least wait until she is in her seventies or eighties and won't live long. She can just treat it as a show when she does. It must be fun to shock the world.

So she must keep her vest well covered now.

"Third brother, escort me out of the capital tomorrow and tell them that I have a new idea and want to go out to look for new breeds. Let's make it a little more impressive so that everyone knows that I'm leaving. Then, when I change back into women's clothes, no one will be suspicious."

Shu Tingfei nodded: "That's fine. We can just go out and look for it. This way, we can be more flexible about when to come back. When we want to come back, we can just say we didn't find it. After all, good varieties are not that easy to be discovered."

Shu Xiaoxiao held up her chin with her hand and said lazily, "Although there are no new varieties, the other things I found are as important as food. Once I have studied them, they will definitely benefit the people of the world."

"Really, Xiaoxiao, what good stuff have you found again?" Shu Tingfei was shocked. He knew that his sister was the most amazing, but he was still surprised that she could discover something new so quickly.

"Hehe, let's keep this secret for now. I haven't succeeded yet. I'll tell you when I succeed. If I go out tomorrow, I don't know when I'll be back. Let's call Su Shiche, Liu Xuanyu, Su Jinbao and the others out for a gathering today. It's a pity that Shen Guanqing has gone to work in another place, otherwise it would be more lively with more people!"

Shu Tingfei looked at his sister hesitantly and asked, "Is it convenient for you to have a party in your current situation?"

After all, these guys are all men. It might have been okay before, but now my sister is not only close to marriageable age, but she has also decided on her future husband. It wouldn’t be appropriate for her to go out now!

"It's okay. I still need to call my senior brother. It's just the right time to tell him what my mother and elder brother think. Besides, I don't know how long it will take for me to come back if I go out with this identity. I have to say hello to them. Otherwise, if they keep asking me where I've been, how will you answer?

Shu Tingfei thought so too. They all got along well together, so it was not reasonable for them to suddenly disappear.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to your house to tell them now. Everyone should be fine now and should have time to come out."

..............

Yun Qinghan had just returned home and had not yet sat down when he asked the people from the Ministry of Rites whether they had delivered the gifts.

Huo Feng:..............

"I will go and urge them right away!"

"Well, let them speed up."

The things haven't arrived yet. Is Yun Qinghan a little impatient? Isn't there a long-standing regulation on the marriage process for the royal family? Just sort out the booklet and send it over. Why is it so slow?

Fortunately, Yun Qinghan looked anxious at the time, and the person who received the task was also afraid of delaying Yun Shizi's interest. After all, many nobles are fickle-minded, and who knows whether they will still look at it in the future. He had to deliver it quickly while Yun Shizi was still in high spirits.

The booklet was delivered quickly. After receiving it, Yun Qinghan immediately opened it to check. He was usually not interested in these things, and no one would talk about them in his ear, so he knew nothing about the marriage process.

Now that he had read it again, he realized that there were quite a lot of processes involved in this series. What he knew before was indeed a bit rough. His wedding with his junior fellow apprentice must be as perfect as possible.

Moreover, it is more convenient for the mother and father to be at home, not only because they know the process, but also because it shows that they value the woman.

Fortunately, my mother and father are not here, but I still have my uncle and aunt. With them here, it's almost the same as if my mother and father were here. Now we just have to wait for my junior brother's reply. He should have a good image, and there should be no bad rumors about him in Kyoto. Plus, my junior brother is here, so the General's wife and Lord Shu should not refuse, right?

Yun Qinghan pondered in his heart.

"Master, you, what do you think of this process? Do you need me to inquire about it?" Huo Feng was terrified when he saw the Master flipping through the booklet on the marriage process.

His eldest son wants to get married?

But the question is with whom?

He has never seen his own prince have any entanglement with any girl. There are so many charming girls, and they are almost squinting at him, but he has never looked at them twice. So the possibility of marrying a girl from any family is not high. The key point is that even if it is a girl from any family, she would not have the face to let the prince know the process in person.

Thinking of the most unlikely possibility, Huo Feng took a breath and looked at the prince with expectation, hoping that the prince was just suddenly interested and had no other intentions, otherwise...

But Yun Qinghan didn't know the anxiety in his subordinate's heart, and said directly: "What else can I do? Get married, otherwise why am I watching this?"

"Who... who is going to... get married? It is such a blessing, such a blessing, to have the prince personally read this memorial." Huo Feng's tone was solemn and he could hardly speak clearly. He hoped that the prince would not scare him, as he could not stand being scared.

Yun Qinghan closed the memorial, his lips slightly curved, "Of course, this prince is going to get married. You can find out what kind of gifts are the most sincere when proposing marriage or offering betrothal gifts. We can prepare in advance and must not be rude."

"Oh, I remember that we need to prepare wild geese for the wedding, right? The weather is getting colder, and the number of wild geese may decrease. Let's prepare them. I will go catch some wild geese myself and keep them in the mansion first. We must not delay my wedding."

"There is also a betrothal gift. You and the housekeeper should clean up the storehouse in the mansion these two days and prepare more betrothal gifts. This prince is the only son of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion. This betrothal gift is too poor. Isn't it the prince's choice?"

Huo Feng was stunned when he saw the young master like this. He swallowed his saliva and thought, looking at the young master like this, he couldn’t, he couldn’t really...really want to get married!

"My Lord, I wonder which family our future Crown Princess will be from! I, your subordinate, should be more respectful when I see her in the future."

Yun Qinghan looked at Huo Feng, who was full of nervousness, and suddenly felt a little funny. He put the letter beside him and adjusted his sitting position: "You also know this person, and you are very familiar with him. That is........."

Huo Feng widened his eyes: "That is......."

"That's my junior brother. Otherwise, who would be worthy of me spending so much effort and doing it myself?" Yun Qinghan said with a gentle look on his face. He was happy to think that he was about to marry his junior brother.

Before, he felt that his junior brother was good in every way: good looks, good temper, good speaking skills, good medicine making skills, and even better care for him. Everything about him was to his liking. Now that they were about to get married, it was even better. When he thought of this, he felt a burning sensation in his heart, and he felt involuntarily very good. He wished he could marry his junior brother right away.

Huo Feng fell to the ground with a bang, and his mind was like a whirlwind. As expected, it was really the young Marquis Ye. Not to mention that he was the future young master of the Dingbei Marquisate, if this news got out, it would cause a lot of controversy.

It would be fine if the Crown Prince and Young Marquis Ye did it quietly and behind people's backs. Even if someone found out, at most people would gossip about it behind their backs, and they wouldn't dare tell anyone. But if they were to get married openly, the sky would fall!

"My Lord, you must think twice about this. You can't joke about it. Not to mention our Dingbei Marquisate, even Young Marquis Ye is weak. This kind of reputation is not good for her. My Lord, you may not care because of your noble status, but Marquis Ye's foundation is too shallow, unlike you. And if the emperor, the marquis and the princess know about it, Young Marquis Ye might be in danger! My Lord, please think twice!"

Ah, if the prince insists on having his own way, he has no idea how furious the emperor and the marquis and princess will be. This is the only child in the Dingbei Marquisate. If he is gay, and his homosexuality is known to the world, hiss..., I can't think about it, I can't think about it, the result is too scary.

Seeing him so frightened, Yun Qinghan chuckled and said, "Don't think twice. Junior-Junior Brother is the only legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion. Father and Mother would be so happy if they knew about this, how could they be angry?"

Since his uncle wanted to keep the title of Marquis Yongle for his junior brother, Huo Feng, as his closest bodyguard, naturally needed to know something about it. With Huo Feng's protection, it would be easier for his junior brother to do things.

Hearing this, Huo Feng fell heavily to the ground halfway through his rise, not caring about his strange posture. He opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "What did you just say? Young Marquis Ye is the daughter of the general's mansion?"

"Sir, this is not a joke. Apart from anything else, my eyes are not meant to be good-looking. If Young Marquis Ye were a woman dressed as a man, it would be impossible for me not to notice anything wrong."

Huo Feng felt that it didn't matter whether Young Marquis Ye was the daughter of the general's mansion or not. What mattered was that he definitely would not be unable to tell the difference between men and women. He was the personal bodyguard of the prince and had received professional training. It was impossible for him not to be able to tell the difference between men and women.

Moreover, he and Young Marquis Ye often met and talked with each other many times. No matter how he thought about it, Young Marquis Ye was just a delicate boy. How could he have any flaws of a girl? It was impossible, absolutely impossible.

Seeing Huo Feng's doubtful look, Yun Qinghan understood him very well. After he calmed down from his previous excitement when he learned that his lover was a girl, he became very curious about the reason. He also thought that he was not so shortsighted. Even when he recalled his junior brother's past appearance, he couldn't remember any flaws.

Until I knew the reason, I could only sigh that the world is full of wonders.

"Illusion Heart Grass? What is that?"

Huo Feng stood up, straightened his clothes, and asked his master, "Can a mere blade of grass hide from their eyes?"

This is too awesome!

"Prince, please discuss with...and the Crown Princess and let me see the power of the Illusion Heart Grass. I am really curious."

Yun Qinghan nodded modestly: "Well, your future Crown Prince's Consort said that this Illusion Heart Grass is very rare. I will discuss it with your Crown Prince's Consort later and let you see it for yourself, so as to avoid embarrassing your Crown Prince's Consort."

Huo Feng's mouth twitched. He said this as if he wished that everyone was the Crown Prince's Consort. She didn't want him to see it at all, she was clearly having fun. He didn't expect that the Crown Prince would be such a person.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are in love and in love with each other. As long as you ask, the Crown Princess will definitely not refuse!"

Yun Qinghan nodded gently: "Yes!"

Huo Feng:...............
