I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times

That night

"Mother, you know that I don't like Fanghua and I hate her the most, why did you decide on her without my consent?"

"Son! I know you don't like her, but after you left, if it weren't for Fanghua and her father's help, I might not have survived until now."

"Mother, I'm sorry. It's my son's fault that I'm incompetent. I just owe her a favor. We can repay her with other things. Why should I use my lifelong happiness to repay her?"

"Tell me! What can you use to pay back? If Fanghua hadn't insisted on marrying you, her father wouldn't have helped. Since ancient times, marriages have been decided by parents and matchmakers. It's only right for your mother to arrange a marriage for you.

If you don't like Fanghua, then you can take the one you like in. After the marriage, you will inherit the title and become a prince, and you can promote the one you like to a concubine.

We in North Vietnam can still inherit father's concubines, but they are old and ugly, and mother doesn't want you to feel disgusted by them, so she doesn't force you. She has already been quite permissive enough for you.

You are almost eighteen years old, and your prime is almost twenty. You should get married as soon as possible. After marriage, your father-in-law will be able to help you eliminate your enemies and ascend to the highest position. By then, do you want any woman?"

"Mother! Please forgive me for being unfilial. I can't do this!"

"Do you want to piss me off to death? If you don't marry me, I will die in front of you. How can I face your tragically dead father? Just think about it, how much he loved you back then!"

The princess cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang herself, which magnified the guilt in Jin Feiyun's heart countless times. It reminded him of his father, and he felt guilty for not being able to avenge him for so many years.

Jin Feiyun collapsed to the ground in despair. His only relative now was his mother. He couldn't be so unfilial. If he really angered his mother to death, he would hate himself even more.

Just marry her. What difference does it make if she marries him? He won’t touch her, let alone treat her well!

"Okay! I promise."

"Okay, okay, okay. Then mother will make all the arrangements for you. You don't have to worry about anything. Just be a good groom. There are many etiquettes to prepare for the wedding.

Wedding clothes, marriage proposals, and matching horoscopes are also required. There are many things to do. It will take several months to prepare. It will be just right for you to get married when you are nineteen."

Watching his mother happily go back to prepare for the wedding, Jin Feiyun felt lonely and couldn't help but think of Shangguan Yue who was far away in South Vietnam.

Jin Feiyun is busy secretly training people and recruiting soldiers every day, and bringing Shangguan Yue's latest business opportunities in South Vietnam to North Vietnam. North Vietnam is cold, while South Vietnam is hot and humid.

If you open a hot pot restaurant in South Vietnam, it won’t last more than a few days because it’s too hot and there’s no air conditioning. So Shangguan Yue didn’t open a hot pot restaurant in South Vietnam. She would only make hot pot at home during the coldest days.

Jin Feiyun remembered that North Vietnam was so cold and the warm weather was short throughout the year, so opening a hot pot restaurant was the most suitable. It would cost a lot to raise private soldiers, so he had to make more money. The money earned by South Vietnam was not enough to sustain more expenses in the future.

Jin Qing had eaten all of these before, and he also knew the recipe for hot pot, so Jin Feiyun gave them to Jin Qing to make.

Two years later

Shangguan Yue's Birth

But she did not choose to hold a grand ceremony. The current Emperor of South Vietnam was old and becoming increasingly incompetent. The Crown Prince had no support from his maternal family and had no achievements to be proud of.

Therefore, the court had secretly been divided into several factions. The seventh prince and the eighth prince were both on good terms with the crown prince, and they were friendly and respectful to each other, but only they themselves knew what they were thinking inside.

Several princes who were already in their fiefdoms had also been keeping an eye on the court. Whether they wanted to fight for that position or do something else, no one noticed because they hadn't done anything out of the ordinary or suspicious.

South Vietnam still appears calm on the surface, but in fact, the situation is already turbulent in secret. They are just maintaining superficial harmony. It only takes an opportunity to obscure this appearance.

During this sensitive period, Shangguan Yue did not hold a grand coming-of-age banquet. On the one hand, she had to deal with the trouble of having too many people, but she was most afraid of those people with ulterior motives.

If she took advantage of this opportunity and place to cause unnecessary trouble, her family would become conspicuous and targets. Now she just wanted to develop secretly.

Since Jin Feiyun left, Shangguan Yue wanted to transfer to Nanlai to be a personal bodyguard, but Xiaolan refused, saying that he could protect her, but Xiaolan was a prince, and it was not appropriate for him to be a personal bodyguard.

But Xiao Lan kept begging and nagging, and Shangguan Yue had no choice but to agree to his request. Although this boy was naughty on weekdays, he was very dedicated to her safety.

Many people in the mansion have never seen Xiao Lan's true form. They have only seen him in bird form, so Shangguan Yue can only let Xiao Lan wear a mask and tell the servants that he is a newly promoted guard.

Anyway, Jin Feiyun always wore a mask before, and would only take it off when there were no outsiders around. So now that Jin Feiyun is gone, many people don’t know that the person under the mask has changed.

The coming-of-age banquet was attended by her own family, Li Bing's family of four, and Zeng Zhongkai's family. Zeng Qian'er and Zhou Huaizhi were also teleported from the Zi Yan Kingdom. In order to avoid the spread of news, Zhou Huaizhi wore a mask and Zeng Qian'er covered her face with a veil.

Zhuge Bucai also asked Xiaobai, Xiaohei and the other three to disguise themselves and attend the event.

Chen Bianbian hadn't seen Zeng Qianer for a long time, and he talked nonstop when they met. Zeng Zhongkai hadn't seen his sister for a long time either, and he felt relieved to see that his sister was plump and in high spirits.

It seems that this brother-in-law was really chosen correctly. Zeng Qianer's pregnancy is in great shape and she is not feeling unwell, so everyone is relieved.

Originally, a woman who has reached the age of 15 should look for someone with all the blessings, but Shangguan Yue does not attach much importance to these things. Her real identity is the empress, and she has the final say in the entire Zi Yan Kingdom. She is extremely blessed.

So in the end, she asked Zeng Qian'er's sister-in-law to pin her hair. Madam Zeng was a real noble lady in the capital. Her grandfather was the prime minister. Madam Zeng's parents were loving, and she had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son and the second son were both married. The eldest son had two sons, the second son had a daughter, and the youngest daughter was unmarried.

Madam Zeng and Zeng Zhongkai lived in harmony with each other, so she could be considered a very blessed person. Everyone agreed to let her help Shangguan Yue to pin her hair.

Today was the day Shangguan Yue received the most gifts. Finally, she had the right to ask her father Shangguan Yan to give her a hairpin. This made Shangguan Yan laugh out loud, and she said that she was so vindictive that she still remembered what was said seven years ago.

Everyone gave her gifts, rare treasures, and so many gold and silver jewelry that they filled a whole box. Now Shangguan Yue felt that the gold and silver jewelry were just a pile of metal to her.

In ancient times, today was considered an adult and could be engaged and married, but she was not keen on getting married and having children so early.

She has never thought about getting married and having children, so people often ask her if she is missing a thread in her brain and has never thought about men?

She herself had suspected that maybe she was really missing something in her brain in both lives, otherwise why would other women blush when they saw handsome guys.

And after seeing a handsome guy, she will say, he is indeed handsome, but handsome guys also poop and fart, so is it necessary to be so obsessed with him that you lose your soul?
