My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

When Lu Zhanyao heard from Wen Qiqi that she really wanted to marry Qin Yu to Xingcheng, he was immediately overjoyed!

But he was indeed very powerful. Not only did he remain expressionless, he even frowned slightly.

Wen Qiqi sneered in her heart and pretended to be worried: "Why? My Lord, do you look down on my second sister's daughter? Qin Yu is very good. Xingcheng is my son, so my second sister will agree to this marriage. If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would be impossible to get married even if they stepped on the threshold!"

Lu Zhanyao nodded as if he was thinking about something: "The Qin family is not bad. I have also seen Qin Yu and I like her very much. It's just that..."

He seemed to be really worried about something, and looked at Wen Qiqi hesitantly: "It's just that you are Qin Yu's aunt. If you go and tell your second sister about this, she will agree. But what will outsiders... outsiders think?"

"Of course, I told my second sister privately that as for the lifelong affairs of the two children, we must hire a respectable matchmaker."

"Haha... Qiqi, our marriage was granted by the emperor. If Qin Yu were to marry Xingcheng, but she only found a matchmaker, wouldn't that be too unfair?"

Lu Zhanyao finally spoke out what was in his heart.

Wen Qiqi nodded: "Yes, we need to give Qin Yu enough respect."

"I have an idea."

Lu Zhanyao strikes while the iron is hot: "The Sixth Princess' birthday party is coming up in a few days. I will dare to ask the Sixth Princess to grant Xingcheng a marriage in front of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager! The princess will just treat it as a casual remark and will not refuse it on that day."

What a great Lu Zhanyao! He has made such a careful calculation!

It's hard for the princess to refuse you, but your son has been personally married off by the prince...

"Okay."

Wen Qiqi smiled slightly, curling up the corners of her small mouth.

"I'll leave this matter up to you, sir. But if the Sixth Princess doesn't agree, you will lose all face."

"I have a solution."

Lu Zhanyao immediately said, "Leave this matter to me. But you have to make it clear with my second sister first."

"Well, my second sister and I took Qin Yu to the princess's mansion that day. The two children have met before, and now they have grown up two years later, and they are even more compatible."

"it is good!"

Lu Zhanyao was confident and went to Lord Yu's residence that day to discuss the situation with Lord Yu...

Lord Yu entered the palace that night. Although he went there in the name of visiting the Queen Mother, he told her about what happened at that moment.

The Empress Dowager was happy to see Lord Yu, but when she heard that she was going to marry Lu Xingcheng, who was beaten into a pig's head last time, she couldn't help but frowned: "I don't like that child! If Qiqi hadn't been there last time, I would have been really angry! The emperor never jokes, but he actually lost the article and teased the emperor..."

"I didn't mean to do that! Queen Mother, please don't take this to heart. You are the Queen Mother who rules the country!"

Lord Yu personally massaged the Empress Dowager's shoulders, the strength was familiar and comfortable.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and murmured, "Time flies! I still remember how pretty you looked when you first entered the palace and were assigned to serve me. At that time, you stayed by my side and accompanied me through all the ups and downs of these years! If it weren't for you, I would have died at the hands of Concubine Xiao several times!"

"Empress Dowager, it's all in the past! Now that the Empress Dowager has spoken, the Sixth Princess should respect you as her biological mother!"

"Haha...you are quite smart. Why don't you ask Concubine Xiao for help with this matter? Instead, you come to trouble me?"

"Then I have served you all my life, and I dare to ask for your favor from you, the Empress Dowager! Empress Dowager, please love me. My daughter is married to the Lu family, and now I hope that the Lu family will be well."

Lord Yu looked very upset: "I don't have a child, so I treat that adopted daughter as my own. That child has a hard life, and so do I. I don't despise her!"

The Empress Dowager's heart ached: "Forget it, I'll just tell the Sixth Princess!"

With the Empress Dowager's words, Lord Yu felt confident when he walked out of the Forbidden City.

A few days later, the Sixth Princess' birthday party was so lively!

All the civil and military officials in the capital went to the princess's mansion, and it was packed with people. Even the entrance of the mansion and the Fourteenth Prince's mansion next door were filled with tables, and a banquet was held together.

"Thirteenth brother, fourteenth brother, you two are about to go to war. This princess took advantage of the joy of your birthday to ask for a peace amulet. You two should each get one and must wear it. First of all, this princess hopes that Thirteenth and Fourteenth brothers will win the first battle and win a great victory, so that they can share the worries of state affairs with the emperor and the empress dowager!"

The Sixth Princess is an excellent speaker, and she is also very magnanimous and responsible. No wonder the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xiao have been fighting for so many years, but she still dotes on the Sixth Princess like her own daughter!

"Secondly, I also hope that my two younger brothers can be safe and sound. May they be blessed by the gods on the battlefield and by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and may they be blessed with great fortune!"

The Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince stepped forward to thank the Sixth Princess, took the amulet and put it on.

The expedition will take place within this week.

This expedition was a life-and-death agreement, and the two brothers were determined to win, not to return until they achieved victory.

Everyone sat down, and the Thirteenth Prince sat at the side, with the large gold-inlaid jade screen that Lord Yu had given him as a gift today behind him...

"The Thirteenth Prince."

A voice suddenly sounded beside the Thirteenth Prince. The Thirteenth Prince was startled and turned around quickly: "Qiqi?"

"Your Majesty, may I have a word with you?"

Wen Qiqi's body was hidden behind the screen, so no one else could see her.

The Thirteenth Prince remained calm as he stood up and walked quickly behind the screen. Wen Qiqi walked in front of him, and the two kept a certain distance from each other. Only when they turned around the back garden and came to the back of the rockery where the Sixth Princess usually fed the fish did Wen Qiqi stop.

"Qiqi, why did you call me out? Is there something wrong?"

"Thirteenth Prince, Qiqi is in trouble."

Wen Qiqi's eyes suddenly filled with tears. She looked at the Thirteenth Prince with trembling lips and a choked voice. "Qiqi wants to ask the Prince a question. The Prince and the Fourteenth Prince promised that they would treat Qiqi as their sister and take care of her like a brother... Is that true?"

The Thirteenth Prince was stunned. It was indeed his Fourteenth Brother who said this.

"Seven seven..."

The Thirteenth Prince looked at the tears in Wen Qiqi's eyes and guessed that she must have encountered some trouble!

"Tell me first, what happened? Did the Lu family bully you? Don't worry, my fourteenth brother and I will definitely take care of it for you! We keep our word, even if you get married, we will still be like your brothers! This is a promise, and we will never go back on it."

As soon as the Thirteenth Prince finished speaking, he saw a look of determination in Wen Qiqi's eyes. The next second, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, bent her knees, and knelt in front of the Thirteenth Prince!

"Qiqi...what are you doing? Get up quickly!"

"Thirteenth Prince, since you and Fourteenth Prince have agreed to be my elder brothers, you must agree to one more thing for Qiqi!"

"it is good!"

The Thirteenth Prince couldn't help her up, so he nodded vigorously: "Don't mention one thing, even ten or a hundred things, if you are willing to ask, I will agree to it."

Wen Qiqi raised her head, looked into the Thirteenth Prince's eyes and said firmly: "I want to go to war with you two!"
