After giving birth to twins, the princess became pregnant again, and the royal uncle took care of he

His voice was deep, and every word carried weight:

"I have imagined my precious baby's wedding countless times in my mind, and each time it is like a knife cutting into my heart, causing me unbearable pain."

His eyes glistened with tears, a father's deep love and reluctance to part with his daughter.

"But I also know that as a father, I cannot delay my precious child's lifelong happiness because of my own selfish desires."

Chu Huaizhong's voice revealed a hint of determination. He knew that as a father, he had to make the right choice for his daughter's future.

"Therefore, I have decided that, even though I am extremely reluctant, I will choose a husband for her who can give her happiness and stand by her side through thick and thin."

His words were firm and powerful, each one like a vow, demonstrating his determination as a father and his commitment to his daughter's future.

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the civil and military officials, upon hearing Chu Huaizhong's lament, began to whisper and discuss amongst themselves.

An official whispered, a hint of mockery in his eyes, "After all that crying, she still has to get married, doesn't she?"

Another official covered his mouth and laughed, "Look at him, crying like he's half-dead."

His tone was contemptuous, "I thought I'd never let my daughter get married."

"What kind of girl doesn't get married?" someone interjected, their tone slightly teasing.

But Chu Huaizhong's next words left the civil and military officials speechless. They hadn't expected this veteran general to have a backup plan.

"Therefore, I have established three rules, and the selection of a son-in-law must be based on these rules."

"If my future son-in-law cannot satisfy me, I would rather raise my daughter for the rest of my life."

“Even if the old minister is no longer here, the eldest son Xingchi and the second son Xingyi will take on this responsibility.”

Chu Huaizhong's words echoed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, like the beating of war drums, shaking the hearts of every military general.

Seeing Chu Huaizhong's unwavering resolve and his profound love for his daughter, they were deeply moved and stepped forward to help.

Their voices, expressing solidarity with Chu Huaizhong, were filled with praise for Chu Huaizhong's daughter and deep sympathy for Chu Huaizhong himself.

"General Chu's daughter is the most beautiful woman in Dongjing Kingdom, so it is only natural for her to make some requests."

A military officer spoke loudly, his words revealing not only his admiration for Chu Huaizhong's daughter's beauty, but also his respect and reverence for Chu Huaizhong.

“How can there be a marriage where no one has any requirements?” another military officer chimed in, his voice revealing a deep understanding and firm support for Chu Huaizhong’s position.

Jun Jiuxiao stood upright in the court, his eyes lowered, seemingly unmoved by Chu Huaizhong's lamentations. It wasn't like he had just met Chu Huaizhong.

He knew that Chu Huaizhong's tears were not a plea.

Rather, it paves the way for conditions that will soon be proposed, conditions that are sure to be extraordinary.

Emperor Changping was also moved by this scene.

He looked at Chu Huaizhong, his gaze questioning:

"Minister Chu, please tell me your request, and I will consider it carefully."

The emperor's words revealed his respect for Chu Huaizhong and the importance he attached to this matter.

Chu Huaizhong took a deep breath, and his voice rang out again in the hall, firm and powerful:

"Your Majesty, my request is very simple, only three points, but each one concerns my daughter's future happiness."

His words revealed a father’s deep concern for his daughter’s future and his commitment to family honor.

Chu Huaizhong's voice was strong and clear, each word like the sound of metal and stone.

The first one is...

This man,

"His literary talent must surpass that of my son, who shines like a star."

"Your martial arts skills must surpass those of my son, Xingchi."

"And it must be to the liking of the little darling."

"These are my requirements for my darling's future husband. He must not only be proficient in both literature and martial arts, but also win my darling's heart."

The second one is]

"Those who marry a precious daughter must be like me."

"To be with my beloved for life, one love, one lifetime,"

"Regardless of whether or not they have children, they may not divorce their wives or have a peaceful separation, and they may not take concubines or keep mistresses."

"This is my loyalty to my beloved daughter's future husband. I vow to ensure that she is happy for the rest of her life and never suffers any injustice."

The third one is]

"To prevent people from speaking incoherently, my dear husband must marry into the Zhennan General's Mansion."

"This is my request for my beloved daughter's future husband to be protected,"

"Only under my watchful eye can I feel at ease and protect my precious child."

Chu Huaizhong's words were like a thunderbolt, shaking the imperial court.

The third requirement, that "the obedient son-in-law must marry into the Zhennan General's Mansion," is undoubtedly a subversion of traditional marriage customs.

Inside the main hall, all was silent, as if even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be clearly heard.

The court officials looked at each other in disbelief, never expecting that Chu Huaizhong would have such audacity to openly make such a demanding request in the court.

Jun Jiuxiao remained calm and unsurprised, after all, Chu Huaizhong was the number one doting father in the capital.

When Chu Huaizhong said, "[First: His literary talent surpasses Chu Xingyi's, his martial arts skills exceed Chu Xingchi's, [and he is the one my darling admires],"

Jun Xuanche remained unmoved.

He believed that he was talented in both literature and martial arts from a young age, and that he and Chu Xingyao were mutually attracted and in love.

Chu Huaizhong's request was not difficult for him.

Standing to one side, a confident smile appeared on his face, a smile that reflected both confidence in the conditions and anticipation for the future.

His eyes were firm, as if he had already envisioned the beautiful future of spending the rest of his life with Chu Xinyao.

He longed to leap out and say to Chu Huaizhong, "General Chu, I am confident that I can fulfill your request."

However, when Chu Huaizhong glanced to the side, he also caught a glimpse of Jun Xuanche's smug expression.

Seeing his hypocrisy evident in his words, I felt a surge of anger.

She really wanted to throw her tears directly onto Jun Xuanche's face.

However, Emperor Changping sat upright on the dragon throne, his imposing presence forcing Chu Huaizhong to suppress his anger and remain silent.

He took a deep breath, trying his best to maintain the solemnity of a courtier, but his eyes could not hide his contempt and anger towards Jun Xuanche.

Chu Huaizhong sneered inwardly and directly stated the second point.

[Second rule: You must be with your beloved child for life, regardless of whether you have children or not, and never abandon them.]

Jun Xuanche secretly plotted in his heart, a smug look on his face:

"Once I marry her and she becomes a royal daughter-in-law, the matter of taking a concubine will be entirely my decision."

"If Chu Huaizhong doesn't comply, then ignore him. How can he stay with her for life?"

“Once I become emperor, when I issue an imperial edict, even Chu Huaizhong will not dare to disobey it.”

"This is a matter for the royal family; who dares to interfere?"

His mind was filled with smugness and confidence, as if he could already foresee spending the rest of his life with Chu Xinyao.

Many military generals supported Chu Huaizhong. Although it was difficult, it was not impossible.

After all, who would abandon the most beautiful woman in Dongjing Kingdom to go find someone else?

Later, Chu Huaizhong's words once again shook the hall; his voice was firm as he spoke...
