Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Ma Xiuying was taken aback by these words, then she quickly responded, ”This, this is a wonderful thing, my Biao’er being able to recognize Yunjin as a godmother is truly a blessing for him.”

”If that’s the case, why don’t we recognize godmothers mutually? How about letting Little Chen Li recognize me as his godmother?”

Ma Xiuying looked at the swaddled Little Chen Li with fondness.

Upon hearing this, Su Yunjin said, ”That would be great, this way we become even closer, almost like family.”

Then, Su Yunjin said to Yin Hongmei who was nearby, ”Hong Mei, go to my room and bring a golden longevity lock, I want to give it as a gift to the little Biao’er.”

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiuying searched her belongings and found a translucent Jade Pendant, ”This Jade Pendant is something I carry with me; I’ll give it to Little Chen Li as a gift!”

Su Yunjin replied, ”That’s wonderful, I thank Sister Ma on behalf of my Li’er.”

The two chatted and laughed, confirming their relationship. Seeing this, Huang Wan’er remarked, ”Sister Ma, Yunjin, by recognizing each other as godmothers, you both make me feel left out.”

Ma Xiuying replied, ”Haha, I almost forgot about this pretty young lady. Huang, if you don’t mind, why don’t we recognize each other as godparents too?”

Upon hearing this, Huang Wan’er said, ”Alright, alright, since that’s the case, let’s recognize each other as godparents.”

In this way, Ma Xiuying also became godparents with Huang Wan’er, strengthening their relationships and deepening their mutual affection.

These godparent recognitions carry significant underlying intentions.

In this era, godparents are not like the cold relationships of future generations, while not treated as full sons, a half-son relationship is certainly established.

With the turbulent times, nobody knows who will prevail in the end, especially considering the massive entity that is the Daqian Court.

Recognizing each other as godparents is also strategic, allowing them to have a contingency plan if one were to be defeated by others, their sons could seek refuge with their godparents in times of trouble.

If one day Chen Jiusi and Zhu Chongba were truly to enter into conflict over the control of the realm, and one were to be defeated, they would spare each other’s descendants due to the godparent relationship.

Even if those men confront each other with swords unsheathed, these women could persuade them to spare their godsons.

Simply put, there are many political considerations behind these godparent relationships!

Despite the casual exchanges of these three women, their words are capable of influencing the future course of the world!

Amid lively music and festivities, the wedding procession set off from the City Lord Mansion, heading straight for the Reception Hall within Huangzhou Prefecture City. The Reception Hall was specially vacated by Chen Jie for this grand wedding, and it was indeed a magnificent estate.

At this moment, inside the estate, Prince Ruyang sat in the courtyard.

His expression changed slightly; he had arrived in Huangzhou Prefecture just yesterday and only then was he truly astonished by the city.

The city had no curfew; although they entered the city quite late last night, the streets were still brightly lit, and he even saw the uniquely featured pedestrian street along with the enormous Trade Mansion in Huangzhou Prefecture.

All of this shocked Prince Ruyang, for it was not something he could easily witness, even having never seen such a scene in Longxing Prefecture. The prosperity of Huangzhou Prefecture had far surpassed the Longxing Prefecture he governed.

Reflecting on this, Prince Ruyang felt a hint of defeat, as he had always deemed Chen Jiusi merely lucky. Now, it seemed that he was much more than just fortunate; he was indeed highly capable.

It seemed that marrying Yaya to him would allow her a happy life.

While Prince Ruyang was pleased about this, he couldn’t help but worry, for the great development of Huangzhou Prefecture suggested high war potential, and who but him knew Chen Jiusi’s intentions—he was undeniably a threat to the court.

Realizing this, Prince Ruyang felt a mix of delight and concern, trapped in a paradoxical situation.

Looking around him, Prince Ruyang contemplated for a long time, and just then Wang Baobao approached and said, ”Father is ready.”

Prince Ruyang remarked, ”Good, I’ve already said you must not let that kid take you away so easily, did you hear?”

Wang Baobao responded, ”Yes, I know. I have prepared several questions, designed by the smartest people in Longxing Prefecture, absolutely foolproof!”

Upon hearing this, Prince Ruyang said, ”Very good!”

Wang Baobao asked, ”But what if Chen Jiusi cannot answer them?”

Prince Ruyang replied, ”Hm, isn’t he reputed to be exceedingly intelligent? If he can’t, I would still let him marry Yaya, but he needs to lower his head in front of her from then on.”

Wang Baobao praised, ”Father, you are wise!”

Prince Ruyang added, ”Hm, this time, I must curb his arrogance!”

Saying this, Wang Baobao nodded, meanwhile, the sound of musical instruments was heard outside. Prince Ruyang uttered, ”I’ll go to make preparations; make sure he passes the first challenge.”

Wang Baobao replied, ”Yes.”

Then Wang Baobao moved to the entrance, where he heard the sound of drums and gongs ringing outside.

With a quick gesture, Wang Baobao signaled people to block the main door.

Chen Jie arrived at the entrance of the Reception Hall, and then Chen Xiaohu shouted, ”Sister-in-law, my brother is here to take you home!”

He shouted once, and the person responsible came forward to call the door, ”Open the door, the groom has come for the bride.”
