I'm shocked! After breaking off the engagement, the emperor's uncle wants to have a fake m

Everyone knew that eunuchs had to give some benefits after they came to announce the imperial edict. Although eunuchs were of low status, they represented the emperor when they came out with the imperial edict.

As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to deal with, but the little devils are hard to deal with.

If you don't give them some benefits to shut their mouths, they will turn around and stir up trouble in front of your important people from time to time, and occasionally trip you up, which will be enough to make you suffer.

But the son just accepted the order and said thank you lightly and that was it.

The Censor-in-Chief of the Ministry of Justice held a low official position but had considerable power. He had to investigate mistakes and omissions, investigate officials, and rectify the government. It was a tough job that would offend people!

His stubborn character is exactly like his mother's!

"When they come to announce the imperial decree, you should at least show some respect. If you offend these people, they will trip you up when you enter the court in the future and you will be in big trouble!"

"Your Majesty's decree says that I am upright and honest. If I were to flatter you, wouldn't that be a slap in your face?"

"you--"

Yang Yi had a very decent face, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which gave him a dignified look.

Years of martial arts training have made him tall and straight. Even though he is a junior, his aura is not suppressed at all when standing next to his father.

On the other hand, Yang Jing was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, just a beautiful figure. Even if he tried to stand up straight, he didn't have any aura at all. Instead, he looked like a clown trying to show off his talents and attract attention.

Just one glance and you can tell who is better.

Marquis Xiangning knew that only the eldest son was virtuous and capable enough to take on the position of Crown Prince, and the second son was not up to the task.

But he still has to rely on the Liang family.

A new emperor appoints new ministers, and the legacy of his ancestors has been sparsely retained by his generation.

He only held a nominal position as the Junior Minister of the Imperial Household, with no real power. The title of Marquis seemed noble, but he wasted his time in a nominal position and made no achievements in the court. The family wealth accumulated by generations of ancestors was almost gone.

Such a huge mansion has to be supported by him alone, when will it end?

If there is no outstanding son in the family to support the family, even if the hereditary title can continue to be passed down, it is just a formality.

The atmosphere in the court is not good now. Your Majesty puts Yier in such a position, perhaps to make use of him. If he can be promoted by Your Majesty, with his ability, he will surely rise to the top in the future and restore the prestige of the Marquisate.

At that time, he would no longer have to be inferior to his Yue family (here referring to his father-in-law's family).

Before he could say anything else, Yang Yi had already left with his entourage.

Liang took the opportunity to flatter him, "He has just been given a small official position, but he already looks down on others. If he becomes a high-ranking official in the future, I'm afraid you, as his father, will have to pay your respects to him..."

Xiang Ning Hou narrowed his eyes and said, "This is such a good position, why don't you let Jing'er get one back?"

Yang Jing's heart trembled, thinking to himself, it wasn't him who said those words, why were they making him a target?

Liang was so angry that she was about to burst out of her head. This old man would never go against her like this on a normal day. Could it be that just because his son got a small official position, he thought that he had a promising future and could ignore her Liang family?

"Humph! You are just a small official of the sixth rank, but you are so proud of yourself! Do you think my Liang family has no one in the court?"

Marquis Xiangning began to feel scared again.

Yes, his father-in-law is the left prime minister of the court! Most of the officials in the court are his disciples. If he wants to discipline a young man who has just entered the court, isn’t that a piece of cake?

But once words are spoken, they cannot be taken back. It is impossible for him to lose face and say something soft. There are younger people present. He is still a marquis. If he bows to a woman and the news gets out, where will his face be!

Thinking of this, he straightened his back, snorted coldly, and left.

Liang narrowed her eyes and watched his departing back, a trace of resentment flashing through her heart.

"Mother..." Yang Jing said hesitantly.

Liang was angry, so her tone was naturally not kind. "From today on, you must control your temper and ignore those girls in your backyard! Prepare well for the Autumn Examination, and no matter what, you must suppress Yang Yi's limelight! Do you hear me?"

Yang Jing lowered his head and said yes with difficulty.

Doesn’t he also want to be on the list of successful candidates?

But if it is so easy to pass the high school entrance examination, why are there so many poor scholars in the world?

It was not enough for Liang to put pressure on her son, she even did not let Lan Hui go, "You should know that you and Jing'er have been married for less than a month. If you know that you are not in good health, don't show off everywhere! If you bring shame to Jing'er and hinder his reputation and future, I have plenty of ways to make you disappear and then marry him a capable and virtuous wife!"

"Yes, mother, my daughter-in-law knows..."

Lan Hui responded with lowered head and meek eyes, she knew that this mother-in-law was not a good person.

She was the legitimate daughter of the Liang family, but she was willing to be a concubine. Before her original wife's body was cold, she used her mother's family to put pressure on the Marquis of Xiangning to make her the principal wife.

Lan Hui grew up in that cannibalistic backyard, and all she saw and learned were conspiracies and intrigues, so she was used to speculating on everything with a dark mind. She didn't believe that there was no trick in the death of Xiangning Marquis's first wife!

You know, Yang Yi's mother, Su, was born into a military family and was a brave woman who could pick up a gun and ride a horse to fight on the battlefield.

No matter what, her body was not weaker than that of an ordinary woman. How could she die after giving birth to a child? What's more, she had already given birth to one child, and now she died of two deaths!

Auntie is right. No matter how powerful Liang is, she still has to save face. What she fears most now is that this matter will be known to others. The autumn examination is approaching. If Yang Jing is known to have bad personal ethics, even if he wins the first place in the imperial examination, the emperor will not use a top scholar with bad morals.

It's good that she has something to be afraid of!

I’m afraid she’s not afraid of anything!

Humans are very strange creatures. The more they want, the more concerns they have.

The more you worry, the less confident you will be.

She could no longer count on the Queen Mother. Her aunt was also worried that her pregnancy before marriage would affect the future of her two children, so she kept her distance from her.

It was even more so at the Mingyuan Marquis's Mansion. It was as if this person had never existed in the mansion since she got married.

Indifferent.

She has known since childhood that tears are only useful if there are people who love you in this world.

If no one cares about you, no one will be sad for you even if you die.

If you want something, you can only fight and grab it by yourself!

She had misjudged Yang Jing, but it didn't matter. As long as Liang could help him take the throne of the crown prince and inherit the title in the future, the child in her belly would be the next crown prince and the future marquis.

As a woman, she should obey her father at home and her husband after marriage. But she felt that this was not right. If both her father and husband were unreliable, then she would train her own children and make a smooth path for herself!
