What should I do if I am a villain and the heroine likes me?

In the entire court of Daqi, there are only three people who can put pressure on Princess Meng Qingqian of Xiaoyue.

The first one, needless to say, is the prime minister Han Wenxin who controls half of the country.

The second one is the young emperor who represents the orthodoxy of Daqi.

The third one is Meng Qingqian's biological mother, Queen Mother Li.

Although the Queen Mother is no longer involved in government affairs, has no military power, and is not financially sufficient, she can only use some of the resources belonging to her mother's family, Jiangnan Li. But she has a unique advantage in dealing with Meng Qingqian, that is, she is Meng Qingqian's biological mother.

It goes without saying that Qi attaches great importance to etiquette, and parents have a huge influence on their children.

No matter how powerful Meng Qingqian is, she still needs her mother's approval in terms of marriage.

In other words, although the Queen Mother cannot hold Meng Qingqian's head and let her like someone, she can prevent Meng Qingqian from getting married. Therefore, if Yang Zhe wants to use crooked ideas, in addition to Meng Qingqian herself, he must please the Queen Mother.

However, before that, Hexi Yang had also heard of the Queen Mother's reputation and thought that she was nothing special and not worth worrying about.

Never expected that the Queen Mother would go with the flow in government affairs, but could be so strong in the private affairs of her children.

When Yang Xingguang heard that the Queen Mother was going to marry Xiaoyue to the He family, he panicked.

Yang Xingguang knew that the Yang family would sooner or later be handed over to Yang Zhe, after all, he was a rare double champion in civil and military affairs in Qi State. And Yang Zhe, this nephew, was good in every way, but in terms of feelings, he was like a demon, and devoted himself to Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue, this girl, has vision, ability, and skills. Not to mention Yin Jing, even the whole Qi State rarely disobeys. If they can really marry Yang Zhe, this couple can ensure the prosperity of the Hexi Yang family for a hundred years.

Therefore, Yang Xingguang himself, together with the Yang family, almost abandoned their once wavering neutral position, and followed Yang Zhe to the Meng family.

Nothing else, just people.

With the help of the two of them, they can double the resources.

Now that the helper is almost gone, even Yang Xingguang, who is always experienced, can't keep his mind steady.

This is not just a matter of love, but also the countless resources invested by Yang in the past few years. If Meng Qingqian is not married, these resources will not be completely wasted, but most of them will be lost.

Yang Xingguang didn't bother to wipe the official uniform soaked by tea, and immediately stood up and knelt on the ground, saluted and advised: "The Queen Mother, think twice! Your Royal Highness, the Princess, is entangled in political affairs, and you must not marry willfully, leaving us without a leader!"

Huang Qinghe saw that Yang Shangshu had taken the lead, so he naturally flashed to follow the group, and also saluted and advised: "The Queen Mother, think twice!"

Nanzhu's marriage will not affect He Yuanhao's position, but Xiaoyue is different. Xiaoyue's marriage may really make He Yuanhao change his family. Han and Meng were originally evenly matched, and once He Yuanhao fell, Meng's family would have the upper hand. This is very bad for Dayan.

Lu Liang also chose to follow the group: "The Queen Mother, think twice!"

Compared with them, Li Gongqin has the identity of a relative. Although he is the Queen Mother's nephew, he also knows his aunt's temper. He immediately called the clever maids in the Queen Mother's palace to go to Changhe Palace to invite the main master.

Then Li Gongqin also advised: "Queen Mother, it is best to ask your Highness for your marriage."

He Yuanhao went to court every day and knew Meng Qingqian's ability. This time the Queen Mother intended to marry Meng Qingqian to the He family, that was the best. With Meng Qingqian's means, there was no fear that she could not control He Yunxiao.

He Yuanhao simply said: "The Queen Mother is right. I was not thoughtful enough and did not prepare all the betrothal gifts. After thinking it over again and again, I feel that adding more items to the gift list is time-consuming and laborious, and secondly, I have to ask the Queen Mother to look at it again, which is too troublesome. I think, why not do this, the Marquis's Mansion prepares another betrothal gift on this gift list, and doubles the betrothal gift to ask for Princess Xiaoyue to marry!"

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up.

She felt that the father is like his son, He Yunxiao is not simple, and He Yuanhao is also a talent!

One betrothal gift is indeed not enough, two is more than enough.

"Okay! I am very satisfied. Let's consider this matter..."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was about to agree, Li Gongqin was sweating profusely.

He knew that his cousin would never agree to this marriage, and he also knew that his aunt was just quick-witted and it didn't count. But his aunt's status was extraordinary, and it was not appropriate to really count.

Aunt has always been weak in front of her cousin, and this matter can be resolved as long as Xiaoyue herself comes.

Li Gongqin frequently looked at the entrance of the palace, but he didn't see Meng Qingqian for a long time.

Yang Xingguang was more anxious than Li Gongqin. For other families, Meng Qingqian's marriage was just a small matter of watching the fun, bleeding, and being leaderless. For the Yang family, this was a major event related to the family's future for a hundred years!

Let alone a hundred years, according to Yang Zhe's personality, if Meng Qingqian got married, he would be stupid at best, or at least drag the family to make some trouble, a small revenge. In this way, it is unknown whether there will be Yang family in Hexi in the future.

He Yuanhao, this old man, has no martial ethics at all, and he attacked right away!

Double the dowry on the spot, is that something a human can do?

Yang Xingguang said in a deep voice: "Queen Dowager, think twice! The marriage of His Highness Xiaoyue needs to be discussed in the long run! Once His Highness gets married, who will lead all the civil and military officials and clans? Who will look after our great land? Where will the talented people of Qi State who admire His Highness Yang Zhe and others go in the future?"

The Queen Dowager didn't think so much at the time. After hearing what Yang Xingguang said, she understood the situation a little better.

It was indeed a bit impulsive to marry Xiaoyue off at this time.

The Queen Dowager said: "Marquis Wuqing, you should keep the gift list first. After three years, when Xiaoyue hands over the power and His Majesty comes to the throne, you can..."

He Yuanhao put on the air of a general and said: "Queen Mother, please listen to me."

The Queen Mother said: "You say."

He Yuanhao said loudly: "It is said that a country cannot live without a king for a day, and I deeply believe that this is true. But now, the king is still there, the ministers are still there, all the officials are still there, and the Qi army is still there. All the men of Qi are still alive, so why rely on one person? Weak women are struggling to support us. Our annual salary is more than one million, and there are tens of thousands of officials at all levels. If you can't make the decision, what does the court want from you?"

Huang Qinghe retorted: "Master He, you have the support of the Prime Minister, so you don't care about our pain!"

He Yuanhao waved his sleeves and said proudly: "Okay! I will take off this official uniform tomorrow, let the eldest princess live in the palace, and put on my armor to guard the border!"

When Lu Liang heard that He Yuanhao was guarding the border, he thought: That's not possible. You are guarding the border, how can our Yan army go south?

The lesser of two evils, Lu Liang was more afraid of He Yuanhao going to guard the frontier than Qi Meng was strong and Han was weak, so he immediately rebelled and said: "Queen Mother! I suddenly felt that it would be really great for Your Highness Xiaoyue to marry into the Hou Mansion!"

Seeing Lu Liang's defection, Yang Xingguang no longer cared about his dignity.

He said on the spot: "Queen Mother! Since ancient times, marriages have always been about well-matched families. Your Highness Xiaoyue has a distinguished family background, and if you want to marry, you must marry the monarch of the country. For a less popular one, it must be the residence of a duke for generations, or a powerful family. He Mansion is just a newcomer. How can the Marquis’s mansion be suitable for His Royal Highness to marry and live there?”

As soon as Yang Xingguang said this, everyone was shocked.

He Yuanhao became a general with a rank of second rank. In the entire Yinjing, there were very few people who dared to say that the He family or the family was not good, and those who had the qualifications to say that the He family was not good. However, a large family like the Yang family in Hexi has a strong reputation for both civil and military affairs, as well as black and white. They have been roly-poly for hundreds of years, have mixed forces, and have deep roots. It is true that he can suppress the newly promoted Hou family in terms of the family background.

Everyone knows that aristocratic families can dominate the Marquis's family, but it takes great courage to dare to humiliate the Marquis in public.

The Queen Mother's palace was as silent as a cicada for a while.

At this moment, I heard a piece of metal falling to the ground, exploding like thunder.

"Bang!"

Before anyone could see clearly what the fallen object was, Wu Qinghou He Yuanhao picked it up first.

Holding the object and dusting it off, He Yuanhao smiled and said: "Oops, I accidentally dropped the soldier talisman on the ground. I'm sorry, everyone, please continue talking, let me see if the iron knot is broken."
