Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Not only Ye Shuo was shocked by this, An Ning and Yong Ning beside him also raised their heads suddenly, and even Yao Zhi subconsciously put down the pen in her hand.

The four of them looked at the person standing not far away. Facing the gazes of his parents/sisters, Dingning remained calm.

Ye Shuo always felt that his daughters were still young, but now he suddenly realised that the youngest, Yongning, was already eighteen years old, which would have made her an adult even in modern times. As for the oldest, Dingning, if she were in an ordinary family, the child would have been able to go out to buy soy sauce by now.

Ye Shuo is well aware of the harm that early childbirth can cause to women. Dingning, Anning, and Yongning have been deliberately avoiding these things under the influence of this. But now that they have reached that age, they can no longer delay it.

After a while, Ye Shuo finally calmed down his complicated mood, sighed imperceptibly, and asked, “Have you thought about it?”

Dingning nodded, indicating that she did not do it on impulse, but had thought it over carefully a long time ago.

Dingning has been with Yao Zhi since she was a child, and her master Mei Yingzhuo has taught her everything he knows, so she has a relatively good understanding of her body. According to her father, she and Dingning Yongning have perfectly inherited the good genes of their parents. Both her father and her mother are very tall, and her skeleton is naturally not as slender as ordinary people. She has excellent innate conditions, so after careful consideration, Dingning made such a decision.

Without a trace of emotion, it is a completely rational assessment.

Seeing that she had seriously considered it, Ye Shuo stopped trying to persuade her and just asked again: “Then can you tell Daddy who you have chosen?”

The eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty had a cool temperament, extraordinary looks, and power. She was extremely charming and had countless admirers in the capital. For a moment, Ye Shuo really didn’t know who his eldest daughter had set her eyes on.

Just as Ye Shuo was thinking over and over again, he heard Ding Ning utter a name that was neither unfamiliar but not familiar either.

“How could it be him…” Ye Shuo always had a photographic memory and quickly found the other person’s figure in his memory.

The young master of the Xuanping Marquis family, whom I had met once before during a hunting trip, was a little weak, and not as sturdy as a martial artist. It seemed that he did not exercise much, but his handsome face was still presentable. If it were modern times, with good medical conditions, Ye Shuo would naturally not be satisfied with him, but this was ancient times, and if he was just trying to have children, he was a good choice.

Unlike Dingning, the young master must have inherited the small frame of the wife of Marquis Xuanping, and is thinner than ordinary men. If Dingning gets pregnant in the future, it should not be too difficult or hard.

Dingning must have taken these into consideration, so she chose him.

Ye Shuo opened his mouth and said, “I thought it would be Wu An Hou’s…”

Speaking of Marquis Wu’an, it is another story. The old Marquis Wu’an and his wife died early, leaving only this child. Although he inherited the title with a lower status, he was isolated and helpless. Ye Shuo saw that the child was smart and clever, and if Dingning could subdue him, he would surely be a help in the future, so he let Dingning get acquainted with him.

Young boys and girls are childhood sweethearts, so it is normal for them to fall in love with each other. Moreover, as he grows older, Marquis Wu’an becomes more handsome and elegant. Even if he deliberately avoids matters between men and women, Dingning can’t help but be attracted to him.

Ye Shuo had noticed that Dingning’s eyes were different when she looked at the other person, and emotions were extremely difficult to control. Even if one tried hard to hide them, clues would still appear in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Hearing this name from her father’s mouth, Ding Ning was a little stunned. After a while, she said with a mixture of disappointment and regret: “Although Wu’an Marquis is good, I am not a good match for him.”

In Dingning’s opinion, Pei Lang should prefer gentle and considerate women. This was not her random speculation. It was just that a few years ago, when she reached the age to get married, some people in the court guessed that she would find a husband like the Marquis of Wu’an. But there was nothing she could do. After so many years, the emperor only had three princesses, among whom Princess Dingning was the oldest. After she came of age, she entered the court like a prince. The emperor didn’t seem to want to let her go, so how could he let Princess Dingning get married normally?

As soon as this news came out, Ding Ning clearly felt that Pei Lang, who was not yet a marquis at that time, had become much more distant from her, as if he was trying to avoid suspicion. Ding Ning had seen all kinds of tricks since she was a child, so how could she not understand anything? Naturally, she would not have such plans again.

Compared to her, Pei Lang cares more about his future, which is understandable. To prevent power usurpation, Ding Ning will definitely not give him power once Pei Lang becomes the son-in-law of the emperor. Otherwise, when a child is born in the future, there may be a disaster of usurpation of the throne. By then, the Ye family will change hands, and she will be a sinner, and her father’s efforts will be in vain.

Pei Lang, like most men, was unwilling to be inferior to a woman, even if the woman was a princess. If he were asked to marry into the family, he would probably not feel it was an honour, but rather a shame. In that case, why would Ding Ning force it? So she suppressed her throbbing heart and treated him as an ordinary subject.

On the contrary, the young master of the Xuanping Marquis’s family, although not as capable or strong as Pei Lang, only had a better-looking face than Pei Lang, and was lively and cheerful. He was also open-minded and didn’t care about the eyes of others at all.

Dingning has many admirers, but because of all kinds of rumours and the eyes of the world, most of them are secretive. Even if they love her, they will pretend to be disdainful to show that even if they are moved, they will never surrender to a woman and are unwilling to give in for this. Those with bad character will even say bad things about her behind her back. Every time, the young master of Xuanping Marquis’s family will argue with reason, and he will not give up even if his face is red. He does not care about his reputation and the ridicule of others. It can be seen that he is a very determined person.  n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

To be honest, the young master is not very smart, nor brave enough. The only thing he can show off is his unconcealed sincerity.

In addition, Dingning didn’t hate the other person’s bright eyes like a puppy when he looked at her, so she thought of him when making the decision.

Thinking of this, Dingning couldn’t help but curl the corners of her lips.

Seeing this, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but smack his lips. It can be seen that even if the eldest daughter did not love the young master, she still liked him a little in her heart. This seems to be a good idea.

But before making a real decision, Ye Shuo planned to meet him. Ding Ning was not surprised by this and agreed without much hesitation.

However, just because they have no objection does not mean that Marquis Xuanping has no objection.

So far, women have only been serving as officials for about ten years. Sending his son, and a legitimate son at that, to marry into a family is still too stimulating for him. Any family in the capital with a little dignity would not choose to sell their son for fame.

So when Ye Shuo saw the young master, he looked rather dishevelled, and his clothes seemed to have been changed in a hurry, which could be seen from the decoration around his waist.

Ye Shuo had sent secret guards to monitor the situation long before. Naturally, he knew that after Marquis Xuanping got to know the news, he specially asked someone to choose a not-so-remarkable piece of clothing for his son, for fear that his son would be chosen by Ye Shuo as a son-in-law and would be ridiculed by others. But the young master was well prepared. He took advantage of Marquis Xuanping’s carelessness and changed into the most exquisitely made and most suitable piece in the closet. When Marquis Xuanping found out, he was already at the door, and Marquis Xuanping was almost angry to the point of vomiting blood.

The young master knew nothing about these things. Perhaps because he was nervous, he even stuttered when he spoke.

Perhaps because he knew that he had not performed well, the young master almost burst into tears at the end. If he had not been concerned about his demeanour in front of the palace, he would have collapsed long ago. Despite this, his face turned pale at the end.

Ye Shuo pretended not to know, but in the end Yao Zhi couldn’t stand it anymore and pinched him secretly from behind, signalling him not to go too far. Only then did Ye Shuo let him go with a sense of dissatisfaction.

At first the young master thought that his performance was really bad and this matter would never succeed. When he was feeling depressed, he suddenly received the imperial decree granting him marriage.

The young master couldn’t control himself and jumped three feet high, totally ignoring the gloomy face of Marquis Xuanping beside him.

Other girls are outgoing, but why is he the opposite? However, Marquis Xuanping could do nothing about it. He could only watch his son happily running around, as if he couldn’t wait to “marry” the princess tomorrow.

At that moment, Marquis Xuanping really wanted to strangle him to death.

On the wedding day, neither Dingning nor the young master covered their heads with veils, so the joy on the young master’s face was beyond words and easily infected the people around him. Just this purity was moving enough.

Even though Marquis Wu’an’s actions were extremely obscure, Ye Shuo, who was at the top, still noticed the other party’s white knuckles. Ye Shuo realised later that the other party did not seem to be completely without affection for Dingning.

That’s right, my daughter is so dazzling, how could others not be impressed when they see her?

It’s just that the Marquis of Wu’an was too hesitant and couldn’t let go, and Dingning’s eyes couldn’t tolerate too much romance, so the two of them missed each other without paying attention.

Dingning also noticed the stunned gaze of Marquis Wu’an, and she subconsciously wanted to look, but when she felt the sudden tightening force on the back of her hand, and then looked into the slightly uneasy gaze of the person next to her, Dingning finally did not look back.

An Ning and Yong Ning were obviously also insiders. Seeing this, they both curled their lips in disdain in their hearts.

Ye Shuo laughed, and finally drank the whole glass of wine in front of everyone.

Seeing this, the seventh king below finally said in their hearts, “Congratulations.”

With this as the boundary, it is time for him to begin his game with the emperor.
