I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Princess Pingning wiped her tears and looked at Qi Heng, "What's the matter?"

Qi Heng took a deep breath and said, "I have someone I like, and I would like to ask my parents to propose marriage on my behalf."

When Princess Pingning heard this, her face immediately darkened. "Oh? Whose girl is this? Tell mother quickly."

Before Qi Heng could say his name, she couldn't wait to speak:

"But the sixth daughter of the Sheng family?"

Princess Pingning raised her eyebrows, anger almost bursting out of her eyes. She slammed the teacup heavily on the table, and the tea splashed everywhere, just like her surging emotions at the moment.

"I disagree!"

She shouted harshly, and every word pierced Qi Heng like an icicle.

Qi Heng's heart tightened. His mother's reaction was more intense than he expected.

He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but was interrupted rudely by Princess Pingning.

"The Sheng family has two legitimate daughters, and Molan is even the county lady. You don't like any of them, but you actually like a concubine's daughter!"

Princess Pingning's voice was sharp and piercing, echoing in the room and making Qi Heng's eardrums buzz.

"Do you want to piss me off to death?"

She stood up suddenly, pointing at Qi Heng's nose, her fingertips trembling as if she was about to poke him in the face in the next second.

Qi Heng had never seen his mother lose her composure like this. He was terrified, but still tried to explain.

"Mother, my child..."

However, Princess Pingning refused to listen to his explanation and pushed him out of the room in anger.

"go out!"

The door slammed shut, blocking all the words Qi Heng hadn't said yet.

He stood outside the door, his Adam's apple rolling, swallowing the explanation with difficulty.

"I'm not Minglan, I'm Molan..."

His voice was as low as a mosquito and disappeared in the empty corridor. No one answered.

The autumn wind blew his clothes and cooled his burning heart.

He turned around dejectedly and walked towards his room with heavy steps, his heart filled with powerlessness.

Duke Qi looked at his furious wife, sighed softly, walked to her side and held her in his arms.

"Okay, calm down. It's not worth getting yourself hurt by being angry."

His voice was deep and magnetic, with a soothing power.

Princess Pingning leaned in his arms, her breathing gradually calming down, but she still had a hint of unwillingness.

"Master, how come this child..."

The Duke of Qi patted her back gently and comforted her softly.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. As parents, we cannot make decisions for them in everything."

He paused, a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"If Heng'er really likes it, why not..."

He leaned close to Princess Pingning's ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Princess Pingning's eyes flashed with hesitation, but she finally nodded.

The next day, Princess Pingning called Qi Heng to her side and her tone softened a lot.

"Heng'er, don't worry. On the day of Changbai's wedding, I will go to the Sheng family and ask for whatever you want."

Upon hearing this, Qi Heng was delighted and knelt down excitedly to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, mother, for your help!"

He thought his mother had finally agreed to let him marry Molan, and his heart was filled with longing for the future.

He didn't know that Princess Pingning's next move was contrary to his thoughts and led him in an unexpected direction.

On the wedding day of Sheng Changbai and Hai, the Sheng Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, and guests came in an endless stream.

The red silk and lanterns decorated the Sheng Mansion with a festive atmosphere. The deafening sounds of gongs, drums and suonas were mixed with the laughter of the guests, making the place extremely lively.

The air is filled with the aroma of wine and food, as well as the fragrance of specially placed flowers such as lilies and peonies.

Qi Heng also came today. Looking at the lively scene in Sheng Mansion, he felt mixed emotions.

He was wearing a royal blue brocade robe today, which made his face look even more handsome and elegant, but there was a lingering melancholy between his brows.

He looked at Sheng Changbai from afar. He was wearing a bright red wedding gown and was full of high spirits. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, when would he be able to marry his beloved like Changbai?

Thinking of his mother's promise, a glimmer of hope ignited in Qi Heng's heart.

He came to Sheng Mansion early today just to find a suitable opportunity to mention this matter to his mother before the guests left.

The wedding banquet was elaborate and grand, lasting from morning till evening. Qi Heng forced himself to deal with the guests who came to greet him, but his eyes kept glancing at Princess Pingning.

Finally, the guests gradually dispersed and night fell. Qi Heng saw that there were fewer people around his mother, so he mustered up the courage to walk over to her.

"Mother..." Qi Heng called in a low voice.

Princess Pingning was chatting with several ladies. When she heard Qi Heng's voice, she turned to look at him with a hint of impatience on her face. "What's the matter?"

Qi Heng glanced around and lowered his voice, "Mother, today is Changbai's wedding day. You promised me..."

Princess Pingning frowned slightly and interrupted him, "I know, just wait patiently."

After saying that, she turned around and continued talking to other ladies, as if she didn't take Qi Heng's words to heart at all.

Qi Heng's heart sank, and a feeling of unease surged over him again. He looked at his mother's back, his heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

Sheng Changbai's wedding banquet was drawing to a close. He rode on a tall horse and led a wedding procession to the Hai Mansion to greet his bride.

The horses and sedan chairs were decorated with red silk, and passers-by along the way stopped to watch and offer their blessings.

After arriving at the Hai Mansion, Sheng Changbai completed all the wedding ceremonies according to etiquette, and finally welcomed the bride Hai into the bridal sedan.

Back at the Sheng residence, the wedding ceremony officially began. Amidst the master of ceremonies' high-pitched voice, Sheng Changbai and Hai bowed to heaven and earth, then to their parents, and finally to each other.

After the ceremony, Sheng Changbai was surrounded by guests and taken to the front hall to continue entertaining them, while Hai was sent to the bridal chamber.

Princess Pingning was sitting in the flower hall talking with Lin Qinshuang, Old Lady Sheng, Wang Ruofu and their three daughters.

The maids served fragrant tea and snacks, and the room was filled with laughter.

Princess Pingning's elegant conversation and decent manners won the favor of everyone in the Sheng family.

During the conversation, she calmly asked someone to call Qi Heng over.

After Qi Heng entered the room, he politely greeted everyone.

"Heng'er, I have something to discuss with you today."

Princess Pingning's voice was gentle yet firm, with unquestionable majesty.

"My son Qi Heng likes Sixth Miss Minglan very much."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Qi Heng was even more shocked. This was different from what he expected!

He wants to marry Molan, not Minglan!
