From the birth of a son to the separation of Nuwa and her path to becoming a god

If she doesn't agree, where will she save her face if it really happens?

If I agree, wouldn't that be a private transaction?

The most important thing is that he said he had already reported it to his mother, oh my god.

No one cares about her life or death? No one even asks her in advance if she is willing to get married, and then tells her parents?

The power of the princess's mansion is naturally beyond the reach of their fifth-rank officials. Whenever someone proposes marriage, Meng Qian'an will never refuse.

Therefore, Meng Liu felt that Gu Zhige had a low EQ and his way of dealing with things was not good, and that this was not the way to pursue girls.

Gu Zhige was scolded by her and looked at her eagerly to make amends: "Yes, I'm sorry, I was too anxious. I won't say anything. Can you please stop hating me?"

Meng Liu's expression eased a little: "You are joking, my Lord. It is getting late, we should leave."

Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Gu Zhige didn't want to continue pestering her, so he could only follow behind them. When he saw them get on the carriage, he followed them too.

"Your Highness, I have queued up to buy the lotus leaf pastry that the princess likes." The servant smiled and mentioned something else.

Gu Zhige's eyes suddenly lit up. His mother loved the dim sum from a time-honored dim sum shop on the street, and the lotus leaf pastry was the most famous, so he would bring some back for his mother every time he went out.

This time was no exception. After he went out, he specifically instructed a servant to buy it.

At the moment, Meng Liu seemed to be angry with him. Although he didn't know what she was angry about, it was always right to admit her mistakes.

"Take the lotus leaf pastry to the Meng residence and give it to Miss Meng, and tell her that I'm apologizing to her."

The servant said dryly: "Ah? But how should I explain this to the princess?"

"My mother has been eating lotus leaf cakes for so many years, so it's okay if she doesn't eat them once in a while."

The servant boy responded weakly, and sighed in his heart, the old saying is true, when one gets a wife, one really forgets his mother.

In the other carriage, the two cousins ​​asked anxiously, "What's going on? How do you know the prince?"

Meng Dingfeng snorted coldly and said nothing. It seemed that he didn't like Gu Zhige very much.

Cousin Li standing by also had a gloomy face and said nothing.

It was obvious that the other party came here for Meng Liu today.

I have already informed my mother. What do I need to inform my mother about? Considering his age and his actions today, it is not difficult to guess that it must be about marriage.

His sister hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet, but someone is already eyeing her. Which brother can tolerate this? However, given his status, he didn't dare to say anything to Gu Zhige. Moreover, to be fair, the Princess's Mansion was indeed a good place to go.

As for the reason why Cousin Li looked unhappy, it was not difficult to guess. He and Meng Liu grew up together as childhood sweethearts. He knew from the beginning that she was good-looking. Ever since he knew about human nature, he had had some feelings for his cousin.

He knew that his family background was not worthy of Meng Liu, so he studied very hard, hoping to make a career for himself before proposing marriage. But now the other person did not give him time to prepare, so how could he be happy?

Meng Liu didn't know how to tell them about his relationship with Gu Zhige. They had no relationship at all. They just met once at the palace banquet.

After returning to the mansion, the maid Pingguo received the lotus leaf cakes sent by the doorman and placed them on the table.

Meng Liu picked up a piece and tasted it. It was indeed a time-honored brand in Beijing and the taste was really good.

She didn't eat much, and gave the rest to the maid. After taking a bath, she went to bed to rest.

In the following days, Gu Zhige would ask people to send her some small gifts from time to time, but she refused any of them except the lotus leaf pastry she received the first time.

In the blink of an eye, the year has passed.

Princess Pingyang had not yet arrived, but her aunt had arrived first.

Li Shiyun hurriedly asked her sister-in-law to sit down: "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

My aunt is a slightly plump woman with a cheerful face. When she smiles, she looks like a heroic woman. Unlike other ladies nowadays who always have a pretentious manner, every move she makes is very dashing.

"I came here this time because of my rebellious son."

Li Shiyun was surprised: "Xiaotong?"

The aunt held Li Shiyun's hand affectionately and said, "We are a family, I will not hide it from you. You have watched Xiaotong grow up, and you and I are both mothers-in-law. For someone like Liuliu with a look like her, marrying into a wealthy family may not be a good thing. She is my niece, so I will naturally not treat her badly. The two children have been childhood sweethearts, so why not take a step closer and make them closer relatives?"

Li Shiyun immediately understood her intention. She hoped that her daughter would have a good life in the future and would not have to marry into a family of high status, but her husband certainly did not think so.

Men who do not understand women's situation will only let their daughters pave the way for their own political future. Therefore, if a man can pay a little attention to the character of the other person when dating, he will be a very good father.

Li Shiyun felt that Li Tong was a good match since she had watched him grow up and had taken care of Meng Liu since childhood.

But my brother's official rank is too low, and Li Tong has no achievements...

She showed an embarrassed expression: "Sister-in-law, Liu Liu hasn't reached the age of marriage yet, it's too early to talk about this now..."

Aunt patted her hands and said, "I understand what you said. I can't shamelessly let Liu Liu marry me just because we are relatives. We both have daughters. I naturally know that you want to keep your daughter for two more years, so we can settle the marriage first. You can also observe Xiao Tong more. He will take the imperial examination next year. How about letting the two children get married after he gets the honors?"

Li Shiyun withdrew her hand without leaving any trace and drank a sip of tea: "I still need to ask the master about this matter..."

"It should be. Then I'll take my leave and wait for good news from my sister."

After the people left, Li Shiyun put down the teacup. The nephew was naturally good, but what the sister-in-law said was a bit unpleasant to hear. He also wanted to get the title and then let the two children get married. Why should her Liu Liu wait for him? They could just find someone with a title, right?

If she is afraid that she will suffer a loss by marrying into a rich family, can't she just go and find a husband for her through the list?

When the time comes, find a poor family with your husband's support. Will they still be able to bully Liu Liu?

I don’t know why my sister-in-law is so anxious. She came to ask for marriage before her daughter even reached the age of 15.

Li Shiyun shook her head and just put down the teacup, the doorman came to announce: "Madam! Princess Pingyang has brought a matchmaker to propose marriage!"

Her heart skipped a beat and she felt something was wrong.

He hurriedly ordered the maid to greet the visitor in the hall and bowed with great fear and trepidation.

Princess Pingyang looked Li Shiyun up and down, feeling a little disdainful. If her son wasn't interested, she would never have anything to do with such a small family.

Thinking of Meng Qian'an's official position, the expression on her face eased a little, and she lightly helped Li Shiyun up with both hands.

"No need to be polite. I am here today to discuss something important. My son is already grown up, has good character, and outstanding talent, but he has not yet found a good match. I heard that the daughter of Madam is both talented and beautiful, and has both virtue and morality, so I am here to ask for her hand in marriage on behalf of my son."
