Interstellar arranged marriage: The big guys rose after being deposed
Chapter 451: Don't even know the rules
Coming out of the palace, Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but whisper apologetically, "Brother Ze, Brother Jing, I'm sorry, my father loves me too much, so he didn't tell me about marrying into the family..."
Qiu Ze interrupted her and said with a smile: "Yiyi, your father proposed to marry into the family just to get our attitude. He cares about you, and we don't want to embarrass you. Being able to have a child, no matter whose surname it is, whether it is a boy or a girl, is God's blessing to us.
You don’t have to be so cautious with us.”
Wei Jing also held her hand and said, "Zhiyi, dating and getting married are our own business. I'm sorry that you proposed dating first. We really can't imagine being with you.
Our conditions are the least outstanding among all the fraternities. Even if we like you and feel that we are soulmates and want to spend the rest of our lives together, we dare not bring it up, as if it would be an insult to you."
They have a clear understanding of their own status and have never put themselves in a superior position just because their three brothers-in-law are so powerful.
On the contrary, the people around them are very excellent, and they have a greater sense of urgency. They are working hard to improve themselves all the time and dare not relax for a moment. Only in this way can they live up to the girls who have fought for them to get such a rare opportunity.
If we talk about inferiority complex, it’s them!
Xu Zhiyi blinked. She didn't expect that the two young men who looked so calm and stern were actually like this in their hearts.
She couldn't help but burst out laughing, her face brighter than ever before, "Well, we both think that the other person is really good, and we are not good enough and unworthy? Anyway, you have already met your parents with me, and when I go back, I will meet your families, and we will get together to discuss it. If nothing goes wrong, we will be able to get the marriage certificate soon.
Then let's open our hearts and put ourselves on an equal footing with each other, and it will be easy and comfortable!"
Qiu Ze and Wei Jing looked at each other, smiled and nodded. They were going to be a family, so there was no need for them to worry about who was worthy of whom.
"My old lady's birthday party is coming up in a few days. Neighboring countries and noble families will send people to attend. No matter what happens then, we have discussed it beforehand. Don't let anyone take advantage of us!" Xu Zhiyi said solemnly.
"Don't worry, Zhiyi, we know what to do," Wei Jing nodded.
"My sister has participated in many such activities and has told us the precautions long ago," Qiu Ze also said.
Whenever they wanted to meet their parents, Qiu Ling sent them all kinds of information. They had been cramming all the way, and now they had enough theoretical knowledge, so they just had to wait for the practice.
In the past two days, Xu Zhiyi took them around the planet, looking for various delicious foods and places to visit.
One of them is a princess who was lost outside and was found just a few years ago. She suffered since childhood. After returning, in order to be worthy of the title of princess, she kept studying and improving herself, and had no time to enjoy life; the other two were simply from poor families and needed them to support the family, so they had no time and money to have fun.
The three of them let loose completely and tried a lot of activities. When it was the Empress Dowager's birthday, they reluctantly went back home to get dressed up and attend the dinner.
Xu Zhiyi was wearing a black, waist-cinching dress with a train, decorated with large, heavy red roses, and the shoulder straps were also red. The contrast of black and red, combined with her bright makeup, made her look dignified and elegant like a proud princess. No one could tell that she had been wandering outside for more than a decade!
Qiu Ze and Wei Jing were wearing a black and a red dress respectively. They had good looks, purely natural due to genetic mutation, and were highly recognizable and very attractive.
As soon as they entered with Xu Zhiyi, they attracted the attention of many noble ladies.
"These are the two fiancés that Princess Mingzhu found. Let me tell you, apart from other conditions, they both have the potential to be gigolos..."
"Tsk, has Princess Mingzhu gone crazy? She is originally a princess from the common people, and has no foundation in the palace. She relies on the care of the king, queen and prince to live a smooth life.
Where is the pure family affection in the royal family? Aren't they afraid that once the king dies, the protective umbrella will be gone and she will become a poor little thing again?"
"She looks down on our noble family children. In the past few years, how many noble families and the king and queen of our Anxu country have proposed her marriage with their own children? In the end, she didn't even look at any of them. Instead, she felt impatient and went to study at the Temple Academy. Oh, she really lived up to everyone's expectations and found two fiancés who were born in the same poor family as her..."
"I guess she has too low self-esteem and doesn't want to look for a fiancé of high status, so as not to expose her earthy smell..."
"Haha, they say birds of a feather flock together. Two different kinds of people can't sleep in the same bed. Do you think these two can resist the temptation?"
Several noble ladies were discussing together with their heads down, glancing at Xu Zhiyi and the other two from time to time.
"Of course not! As long as we give enough, we can also have a taste of being a royal consort..."
Qiu Ze and Wei Jing exchanged glances and both noticed that many people looked down on and schemed against the three of them.
They did not taste the wine or drinks at the venue, and the bowls, plates and cups were also prepared in advance in the storage ring. The shapes and patterns were similar, so few people would doubt it.
Even before coming here, they took the detoxification pills given by Qiu Ling, which temporarily made all kinds of drugs and aphrodisiacs lose their effects.
Many people were hoping that Xu Zhiyi and the other two would make a fool of themselves, or get drunk, and then find someone to take away and do something.
But these three ate and drank as usual without any problems, which made those who were scheming wonder if their plan had failed.
Soon the Empress Dowager came in surrounded by people, and everyone came forward to pay their respects and give gifts. The old lady smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She was concerned about various birthday gifts, but she did not show it in her words.
When Xu Zhiyi came forward with Qiu Ze and Wei Jing, the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Whose little girl is this? Why is she here with guards?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the whole hall fell silent. Isn't it too disrespectful for a grandmother to not recognize her granddaughter?
The queen standing nearby immediately had tears in her eyes. The relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law was difficult. She had been humble and submissive for so long, but the old lady didn't even give her family face in such an occasion.
The king's face was not very good either. He smiled and said, "Mother, this is Zhiyi, your granddaughter..."
"Oh, look at my brain, an old woman's memory is not good. You, a girl, don't know how to go home often after going to the Temple Academy. Grandma often forgets some unimportant people and things, which makes it seem that I, an old woman, am deliberately making things difficult for you, a little girl." The Queen Mother also smiled, stroked her head and sighed helplessly, "So, I don't like celebrating my birthday very much. It reminds me that I am one year older..."
Xu Zhiyi clenched her fists, not expecting that she was the one who caused her embarrassment. Her eyes immediately turned red.
The Queen Mother's words were irrefutable. The facts she stated and the meaning she expressed were indeed accusing Xu Zhiyi of being unfilial, and it was not her fault.
Filial piety is a kind of halo effect. If someone is labeled as filial, his character will be praised to the sky. On the contrary, if a person cannot even be filial, how can he become a talent?
Especially for a young girl, her in-laws will definitely not be happy if she carries a bad reputation of being unfilial before she even gets married.
Qiu Ze held her hand and said with a smile: "Empress Dowager, sometimes people have to accept their age. Not only is your brain easy to forget things, but your eyesight may not be very good.
Wei Jing and I are the fiancés of Princess Mingzhu, not guards. I don't know how I made you have this illusion. Those present are all from famous families and royal relatives, each one more noble than the other.
In terms of clothing, we are quite decent, and in terms of cultivation, we are not conspicuous but definitely not the worst, so how did we become guards together?"
Wei Jing also smiled and said, "My Zhiyi suffered so much outside. She finally came home, but her family still doesn't care about her. But it doesn't matter. When we have our own family in the future, we will never let her suffer any grievances..."
If it was someone of the same generation or even a generation older than her, Xu Zhiyi would have dared to risk her life to fight him. She had never suffered any loss when she was wandering outside, so why was she still being scolded after becoming a princess?
But this is the Empress Dowager, who is more noble than her parents. It's not that this person is so powerful, but the word filial piety is more important than anything else. This is a hat that people can't get rid of as long as they want to save face in any era!
It's not like she hasn't been bullied by this old woman before. The more respected a person is, the more difficult it is for her to bully others, just like a bunch of needles piercing into the body and pulling it out without leaving any traces, leaving people with pain and suffering that they can't express.
She didn't want to see her parents in trouble, so she just endured it every time.
But now, two young men stood in front of her, fighting for fairness for her without fear of power, and even returned the favor.
As expected, the Queen Mother's expression changed. "You are indeed a poor person who doesn't even know the rules!"
Qiu Ze smiled: "Oh, Queen Mother, you understand, don't you? You all know that we are poor people, why do you still say that we are guards? Isn't this contradictory?
Is it possible that you royal family like to do such shameless things?"
"How dare you! This is not the place for you to show off your vulgarity!" The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. She slammed the table and shouted. "If you don't want to attend the birthday banquet, get out of here right now!"
"Are you deliberately driving us away? Zhiyi in my house did not follow your arrangement and married your nephew as one of the consorts, so you want your niece to replace Zhiyi and become the princess of Honghou Kingdom?" Wei Jing asked bluntly. "I, a poor man, don't know that Anxu Kingdom has powerful relatives and can bear the burden of marriage?"
The Queen Mother felt as if her face had been ripped off, and her face turned red and white in anger. "Rebellion, rebellion! King, look at what kind of bastards your Zhiyi brought with him. They actually bullied an old lady like me at my birthday party!"
The king was also in a dilemma. Although he felt that Qiu Ze and Wei Jing were right, and even thought that what they said was very refreshing, as a king, he had to maintain the face of the royal family, especially since the queen mother was his mother. Even if she was extremely wrong, he had to make it right...
