After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

That night, Yin Cheng broke into the palace.

"Brother! I have something important to tell you—"

The people in the palace seemed startled by the noise, and something fell to the ground.

Yin Cheng excitedly pushed open the door, but his smile froze on his face before he could even take it off.

Inside the palace, he, his brother, and Bai Yuchen gazed at each other from afar.

Yin Cheng was utterly bewildered. "What are you two doing?"

The emperor stiffly adjusted his robes, while Bai Yuchen maintained his usual cold and aloof demeanor.

The emperor's ears turned bright red, but his tone remained calm as he retorted, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

Yin Cheng scratched his head and chuckled a little sheepishly, "Hehe."

He pushed past Bai Yuchen and sat down next to the emperor. "Brother, could you help me propose marriage to the Lin family tomorrow?"

The emperor was somewhat surprised. "The young man agreed?"

"Of course, your brother is so handsome," Yin Cheng said. "I've prepared all eight gifts." As he spoke, he pulled a red paper from his pocket.

The emperor took it and looked at it. "Putting everything else aside, you even prepared this pair of geese?"

Yin Cheng said matter-of-factly, "I'll go catch him right away."

"Have you had your birth dates matched with the Imperial Astronomical Bureau yet?"

Yin Cheng was shocked. "Those old men still care about this kind of thing?"

The emperor took a deep breath, put on his clothes, and said, "Little Anzi."

A young eunuch entered from the outer room. "Your Majesty."

"Summon Zhou Qing, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau Chief, to an audience."

"Yes."

Yin Cheng said, "Then I'll go catch some geese now."

The emperor waved his hand speechlessly, "Go."

Yin Cheng left the palace and ran to Peach Blossom Mountain to catch wild geese. After a while, he belatedly realized: It's so late, why is Brother Bai in the palace?

Meanwhile, in the palace, Brother Bai was staring at the emperor with a half-smile, saying, "Little Mo."

Yin Mo squeezed his palm. "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Lord Bai."

-----------------

Early the next morning, the emperor, disguised, left the palace and took his younger brother to the Lin residence to propose marriage.

Yin Cheng was bewildered and puzzled. "Why did Brother Bai come along too?"

The emperor said, "Having more people shows that our family values ​​this young man."

Yin Cheng suddenly realized, gave the emperor a thumbs up, and said, "Brother, you're so thoughtful."

Bai Yuchen looked at the enthusiastic Yin Cheng, then whispered to the emperor, "Has he always been so easily fooled?"

The emperor gave him a sidelong, reproachful look, and said, "From now on, he'll be your younger brother too!"

Bai Yuchen raised an eyebrow.

Yin was completely preoccupied with Lin Nian, ignoring the ambiguous flirting between the other two people in the carriage.

The emperor, dressed in casual clothes, was unpretentious and looked like a gentle and refined young man.

He bowed to the gatekeeper and said, "Please inform the head of the household that Yin Mo has come with a matchmaker to propose marriage to your esteemed sixth son on behalf of my brother."

The gatekeeper, who had never heard of the emperor, simply said, "Wait there."

Yin Cheng was playing with the beads at the feet of the stone lion when the emperor scolded him in a low voice, "Behave yourself."

Yin Cheng immediately became obedient, "Oh."

The Lin family was having tea in the flower hall at that moment.

Drinking tea was just a pretext; the real purpose was to help Lin San find a wife.

Finally, taking advantage of Lin San's day off at home, Ye Qingyu finally found an opportunity to arrange a marriage for her son.

Ye Qingyu frowned, pointing to the stack of portraits in front of her, "So many young men from aristocratic families, and you don't find a single one you like?"

Lin San felt a headache coming on. "Little father, when the time is right, we will get married naturally. Don't be in such a hurry."

Ye Qingyu wanted to pinch her rebellious son's arm, but then she felt that since they were both officials, it would be unreasonable for him to be beaten again, so she reluctantly put her hand down.

He patiently persuaded her, "Even if you don't like young men from wealthy families, young men from poorer families are fine too. I'm not the kind of wicked mother-in-law who only cares about social status. Even if you like young men from farming families, I'll agree."

Lin San's vision went black, and he couldn't drink another drop of the Snow Mountain Sprout.

Just then, the gatekeeper came to report that someone had come to propose marriage to the Sixth Young Master.

Ye Qingyu waved her hand, "We rejected it. We said our Nian-ge'er is already engaged."

"Yes."

As the gatekeeper left, Lin San asked, "Who's here to propose marriage?"

The doorman truthfully replied, "He said it was Yin Mo, and he was asking on behalf of his younger brother."

"Yin what?" If Lin San only felt a sudden darkness before his eyes just now, now he felt like his whole life had turned dark.

"Yin... Yin Mo." The gatekeeper was startled by Lin San's expression, and his voice lacked confidence.

Lin San hurriedly stood up from the chair, stammering, "Quick...quick! Welcome them in, welcome them in...no, no, I'll go welcome them myself."

Ye Qingyu took a sip of tea, completely unperturbed. "And who is this member of the royal family?"

"It's His Majesty!" Lin San said in a panic, "He must be here about the marriage of Prince Cheng and Nian Ge'er."

Ye Qingyu's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and she asked stiffly, "Your Majesty?"

Lin San nodded with deep sorrow, expressing his bewilderment at the perplexing actions of the Yin royal family.

They're all waiting for the imperial decree to grant them marriage; what kind of nonsense is this, coming in person to propose?

"Third brother, quickly help me up, my legs are numb."

The flower hall was in chaos for a while before the family finally rushed to the mansion gate.

"Greetings..." Lin San had just lifted his robe to kneel and welcome the Emperor when he saw the usually stern Emperor styling Prince Cheng's hair.

The emperor removed the burrs from Yin Cheng's hair. "Why didn't you go back and wash up before coming?"

Yin Cheng said, "I can't wait any longer."

The emperor coughed and turned to the Lin family members, saying, "No need for formalities."

Lin San straightened his leg, which was bent over halfway.

The emperor ordered the betrothal gifts to be brought in, with several officials from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau following behind him.

Upon entering the main hall, officials from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau presented the two individuals with their birth dates and times...

The Lin family mansion, the boudoir of the sixth young master.

Hua Yue rushed to Lin Nian like a firecracker, "Young Master!"

He was young and had a clear voice. His sudden voice startled Lin Nian, causing her to misplace the needle and prick her finger.

The embroidery needle was so fine that a drop of blood quickly congealed.

"Why are you all sweaty?" Lin Nian took out a handkerchief and wiped Hua Yue's forehead. "What's wrong?"

Hua Yue grinned from ear to ear, "This is incredible news, young master, guess what it is!"

Yesterday, Yin Cheng said he would come to propose marriage, and this is probably the only thing that could make Hua Yue so excited.

He was somewhat surprised and asked in a low voice, "Has the Prince arrived?"

"Um!"

Lin Nian smiled and continued embroidering.

Hua Yue asked, puzzled, "Young Master, aren't we going to go take a look?"

Lin Nian shook her head. "As long as I know it's him, that's enough."

The marriage between His Highness Prince Cheng and the sixth son of the Lin family has been arranged; the date was chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.

The wedding date was set for the end of July, supposedly a once-in-a-century auspicious day.

After Yin Mo left, Ye Qingyu secretly told his servants that the engagement to the royal family was slightly different from what he had imagined.

The servant thought for a moment and said that His Majesty dotes on his younger brother, and no emperor in history has ever personally visited his family to show respect to both families.

He added that with such respect, the young master's future would surely be bright after marrying into the family.

Ye Qingyu thought to herself, "That makes perfect sense. I think Yin Cheng is truly an excellent son-in-law."
