A family of widows, all shouldered, raising the dragon flag!

By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:

I, by the mandate of Heaven, have diligently governed the country... My eldest daughter, Yan, is intelligent and quick-witted, with unparalleled talent and wisdom...

My third daughter is gentle and graceful, with exceptional talent and unparalleled martial arts skills...

Qin Ze, the ninth son of the King of Zhenbei of Zhou, was unparalleled in loyalty and bravery, and possessed extraordinary talent and strategy...

After the imperial edict was read aloud.

The entire Golden Palace was completely silent.

Because none of the Chu state's civil and military officials present were willing for Chu Qingrou and Chu Yanran to marry the ninth son of the Zhenbei King of a neighboring state.

Similarly, they understood that they couldn't change the Empress's decision.

Since Chu Canglan ascended to the position of Empress, not a single decision she made was wrong.

This is also one of the conditions that allowed Chu Canglan to firmly sit on the throne.

"What? My daughter is marrying the man she loves, aren't you all happy?"

Chu Canglan's domineering question.

This prompted all the officials in the court to offer their congratulations.

For the first time, Qin Ze felt that his mother-in-law was better than he had imagined.

"Qin Ze, I don't want to say anything more about threatening you!"

"Treat them well!"

At this moment, Chu Canglan was no longer the high and mighty empress.

His words were no longer as domineering.

Instead, there was a hint of sadness in her voice.

Qin Ze naturally understood Chu Canglan's worries.

He immediately and sincerely assured his mother-in-law, "Don't worry, Mother-in-law, I, Qin Ze, will never go back on my vow!"

"If they..."

This time, Chu Canglan quickly interrupted Qin Ze.

"Enough! Stop swearing oaths before me!"

"Don't use them as oaths anymore. I just hope you'll treat them both well!"

Chu Canglan gave Qin Ze a deep look.

Qin Ze saw the other person's reluctance and affection in that one glance, but soon the other person's deep eyes became domineering again.

"The journey is long! I will not see you off!"

"Since my two favorite daughters are marrying you, I will naturally not mistreat them. I will select ten thousand elite soldiers as their dowry!"

These words startled Qin Ze.

"Mother-in-law, my Qin family has the Inkscale Guards, which are more than enough to protect their safety."

"Hmph, those belong to your Qin family. What I'm giving is to the Chu family. Don't worry, these ten thousand elite soldiers won't cost your Qin family a single penny!"

Qin Ze realized that the other party had misunderstood.

"Mother-in-law, you misunderstand. My Qin family can still support ten thousand elite troops. However, if we were to take ten thousand elite troops back, the Emperor would probably lose sleep over it!"

"You wouldn't want to see the Emperor take action against my Qin family, would you?"

Chu Yanran and Chu Qingrou quickly spoke up as well.

"Mother, what Ninth Brother said makes sense. We are in the Qin family, protected by the Old Madam, so there won't be any problems."

"Mother, my brother-in-law is right. Too many people around can breed suspicion..."

Seeing that her two daughters were speaking up for Qin Ze, she realized that her daughters were now taking Qin Ze's side.

Chu Canglan felt a pang of jealousy.

She never imagined that her daughter, before even getting married, would already be siding with outsiders.

"Hmph, if that's what you've said, I naturally won't say anything more."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Canglan pulled Chu Qingrou's hand directly.

Then, with a hint of disappointment, he dotted Chu Qingrou's forehead.

"You, you need to call him 'husband' from now on, not 'brother-in-law,' understand?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingrou's bright and pretty face immediately turned bright red.

"Never mind, they've all grown up and have their own ideas now."

"Qin Ze, take them back!"

After saying that, Chu Canglan turned away, somewhat dejected.

Upon seeing this, the two women ran forward and hugged Chu Canglan from behind, crying with reluctance.

Finally, after some comforting words from Chu Canglan, she was able to get through it.

The two women left with Qin Ze.

Along the way!

The people of Chu all gritted their teeth at the sight of Qin Ze.

Only Qin Ze was smug.

After all, he married two women at once.

Moreover, she was a princess of the Chu Kingdom.

Most importantly, both women were willing to do it.

…………

Great Zhou!

Qin Mansion!

When the old matriarch learned that Qin Ze had not only become the number one on the list of geniuses, but had also been betrothed by the Queen of Chu to two princesses, both of whom were to marry Qin Ze.

The old lady's smile never faded.

Shen Zhiwei, Liu Jinghong, and the others were overjoyed to hear this news.

Especially Liu Jinghong.

This time, with Qin Ze back, she felt she had to work even harder than her sister-in-law.

With a little effort, the sister-in-law made Qin Ze's legs tremble, and then she became pregnant.

She has to do even better than her sister-in-law.

At the very least, Qin Ze should be made to lean against the wall to leave.

But when she thought about Qin Ze marrying two princesses at once, she knew that she couldn't show too much emotion when Qin Ze returned.

"Grandma, Fifth Sister has kept her promise this time."

"If you marry two this time, are you going to do it like with the three of us, taking turns in the bridal chamber each night?"

Liu Jinghong's casual words startled the old lady.

Similarly, the others blushed.

The expressions on the faces of the sixth, seventh, and eighth sisters-in-law, in particular, were incredibly varied.

There was shyness, confusion, and mostly a sense of helplessness.

"We really need to think about this issue of Jinghong."

"After all, they are both princesses; we cannot favor one over the other!"

"Although Yanran is the fifth sister-in-law and we are familiar with her, she is still the eldest sister, and we absolutely cannot let her suffer!"

"Zhiwei, what do you think about this matter?"

Shen Zhiwei didn't expect this question to be posed to her.

"Grandmother, it's not too late to discuss this matter after my husband returns!"

"Besides, we haven't really figured out what kind of temperaments Fifth Sister and her younger sister have. Making a hasty decision might backfire!"

The voice just fell.

Then the butler's voice came from outside.

"They're back, the patriarch is back."

I heard that Qin Ze has returned.

Everyone went out to greet them with great joy.

Looking at his familiar family members, and seeing that the old lady looked much younger, Qin Ze was overjoyed.

He immediately pulled Chu Yanran and Chu Qingrou forward to kneel down.

"Grandmother, your grandson and his two wives pay their respects!"

"Greetings, Grandmother!"

"Greetings, Grandmother!"

Chu Yanran and Chu Qingrou bowed in unison.

Especially Chu Qingrou, despite being a master of the Free and Easy Realm, still felt extremely shy at this moment.

The old lady could tell Chu Qingrou's cultivation level at a glance.

Compared to Chu Qingrou's cultivation level, the old lady was more surprised by Chu Qingrou's appearance.

I thought Chu Yanran was beautiful enough.

As a result, Chu Qingrou became even more beautiful.

Chu Qingrou's beauty has a touch of ethereal charm.

Even without seeing her face, just looking at her back gives people a sense of beauty that is refreshing and delightful.

"Okay, okay, get up quickly."

"Let's go back and talk, let's go back and talk!"

The old lady beamed with joy.

He went straight up and took Chu Yanran and Chu Qingrou's hands, then walked back.

He completely ignored Qin Ze's meaning.

This was the first time Chu Yanran had been held by the old lady's hand like this, and the old lady's attitude was even better than before.

For a moment, she was somewhat flattered.

We've arrived at the main hall!

Chu Yanran led Chu Qingrou to meet each of her sisters-in-law.

Among them, the feelings of the sixth sister-in-law, who admired Nianci, were the most complicated.

Qin Ze brought two back today. If she marries Qin Ze, she will probably be the seventh child in the family.

Even Chu Yanran couldn't stop Qin Ze from getting married, so she felt that her test was nothing.

"Ze'er!"

"I am so relieved to see you return victorious!"

"But since Her Majesty the Empress has bestowed this marriage upon you!"

"Our Qin family certainly cannot mistreat Yanran and Qingrou!"

"This time, are you planning to marry them separately, according to their age and seniority?"

"Or perhaps we should marry them both?"
