All the marriages of the princesses were cancelled. Ying Feiyu felt extremely happy and immediately ordered someone to notify Cao Shen and the Meng Mansion.
Now he and Wan'er finally don't have to listen to their scumbag father's nagging!
After receiving the news, the Meng family was extremely happy.
Wanting to marry the royal family, I had always set my sights on Ying Feiyu, racking my brains, but failed.
Unexpectedly, in a twist of events, my son actually became His Majesty's brother-in-law.
Isn’t this more affordable than being an in-law?
"Hahaha! Great...!"
There is such great news that even though Meng Yi had already had dinner, he ordered someone to cook a large table of delicious food. He also took out the good wine he had been collecting and sat on the table to sip it. started to drink.
Holding the small wine cup, he said with a dazed smile: "Lao Zhang and Lao Meng are married to His Majesty, and they show off in front of me from time to time! It's fine now. The Supreme Emperor and I have become in-laws. I will hold my head high tomorrow. Go to the morning court with your chest held high, haha!"
The more Meng Yi thought about it, the more beautiful he became. He was extremely happy and told the lady beside him: "Tomorrow you will prepare the three letters and six gifts! By the way! You must also prepare the betrothal gift quickly!"
"As for the standards...just follow the dowry list for Han Xin's wedding. It must not be too different to make the people of Xianyang laugh!"
"good……!"
Mrs. Meng nodded in agreement, "I heard that Han Xin's betrothal gift was prepared by His Majesty and is of great value. I wonder if Your Majesty will prepare it for us Yun'er and Yu'er?"
"Even if we are prepared, we can't take it! Then Han Xin's family only has an old mother, and it is only in the past few years that his life has improved thanks to the rewards from His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor! There was not even a decent house before! What about us? The family is rich, if You asked His Majesty to pay you a betrothal gift, do you still want this old face like me...?"
Meng Yi drank a lot and was already in the state. He slapped his old face hard and said: "If my colleagues in the DPRK and China know this, why don't you laugh out loud behind your back? Just do as I say, and the betrothal gift should not be bigger than Han Xin's. It’s too high, but it can’t be too low!”
"Okay! Just do as you say, Master!"
Being able to marry the princess as their daughter-in-law is a blessing for their Meng family. The betrothal gift is also a trivial matter. Mrs. Meng nodded in agreement.
"Also! Tomorrow we will go to the Commercial City to buy some fine silk fabrics and make some new clothes for our entire Meng family! When the banquet is about to be held, no one should be too shabby!"
Meng Yi explained while sipping some wine.
"Okay! Got it!"
Mrs. Meng nodded and kept it in mind.
…
Just as Meng Yi said, on the morning of the second day, he really entered the palace with his head held high and a smile on his face.
Many ministers noticed his unusual behavior today.
"Did you see it? Shangshu Meng seems to be particularly happy today!"
"Yes! I found it too! What's going on?"
"Who knows, maybe there is some happy event at home...?"
The ministers gathered together in twos and threes and began to discuss quietly.
When Meng Yi strode to the court, Wang Bi, Zhang Han and others had already arrived and were discussing yesterday's lottery draw.
"Yesterday's lottery draw, someone won three sixth prizes and one third prize, haha!"
"Huh? You're so lucky! I haven't won any decent prizes lately!"
"I'm about the same. I haven't bought much lately. After winning two sixth prizes a few days ago, I haven't won much...!"
Several people were chatting enthusiastically when they noticed Meng Yi approaching with a grin.
"What? Lao Meng? Have you won the lottery? Are you grinning from ear to ear?"
Kang Anping pointed at his yellow teeth and asked suspiciously.
"Hmph! What does winning the lottery mean? A happy event for a certain family is much better than winning the lottery!"
The reason why Meng Yi acted so exaggeratedly.
In addition to being happy from the bottom of my heart, it was just to attract the attention of these old guys.
Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at the court, the old guys started asking questions, so they answered proudly!
"Huh? It's much better than winning the lottery? What? Is the wife in law pregnant again?"
"Okay! Lao Meng, this is a big happy event! I will definitely bring a big gift to the child when we go back to the full moon wine!"
"Yes, yes! You always have a son, you can do it...!"
However, like Meng Yi's two sons, the old guys, when they heard about a happy event, the first thing they thought of was that Mrs. Meng was happy.
"Go, go, go! Keep your voices down!"
Meng Yi's face turned dark when he heard this again. He looked around and asked them to lower their voices.
Fortunately, everyone was talking to each other at this time, and no one paid attention to them!
"Haha! Lao Meng, this is such a happy event, why are you so embarrassed to say it?"
"That's right! When the baby is born, all my colleagues will have to go drink the full moon wine!"
"Yes, yes! Everyone will know sooner or later!"
"Lao Meng, you are still going strong. You are so old and you still have an heir. They are envious of you!"
"Yes, yes, haha...!"
However, the veterans mistakenly thought that Meng Yi was embarrassed to speak, so they lowered their voices.
"Okay, you guys shut up! What are you talking about? Don't let your colleagues misunderstand!"
Meng Yi came here happily, but now there is no smile on his face.
When his two sons said this, he could still vent his anger by hitting them twice.
But the old guys can’t do that!
If he wants to take action, these guys will not tolerate him and will have to fight him!
It is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands, so he will definitely suffer.
All I can do is speak out and ask them to lower their voices!
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Isn't it that Mrs.-in-law is pregnant?"
Kang Anping stared and asked suspiciously.
"No!"
Meng Yi said angrily.
"Then why are you, old guy, so happy? It makes us happy in vain!"
"No! I'm starting to think about what gift to give my child when he's one month old!"
Kang Anping and Chun Yuyue spoke one after another.
Several other people also turned their heads in disappointment, spread out, and stood in their positions!
"Um?"
When Meng Yi saw this, he was somewhat confused.
There's something wrong!
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't these old guys should have inquired thoroughly about what happy events were going on in his house?
Why did this fall apart?
"Hey! Lao Zhang, Lao Wang? Why don't you ask me what my happy event is?"
After a while, Meng Yi couldn't bear it anymore and ran to a few people again, tilting his head and asking.
"We happily speculated for a long time, but it turned out that was not the case. Why did we ask?"
"Yes! If you want to say it, just say it! We don't have to ask!"
"Yes! Since there is a happy event, we will naturally know about it when the banquet is held. It doesn't matter whether we know about it now...!"
I didn't guess it right just now, and the old guys also lost interest.
At this time, each of them folded his hands and placed them in front of his lower abdomen, with a straight face, waiting for the morning!
