Chapter 63: How to Marry Yan'er (Part 2)

  Yun Cong suddenly recalled that when his father saw the 13th princess, he had a smile on his face, but as soon as he saw Lin Xi, the smile instantly disappeared. At that time, Yun Cong was still puzzled, because when he was young, his father didn't dislike Lin Xi, so why did he catch a glimpse of displeasure in his eyes at that moment? It turned out that it wasn't necessarily that he disliked Lin Xi himself, but rather that he was unhappy about the overly intimate behavior between him and Yun Cong in that situation.

  "Mother, this is not my fault as a child, but things have come to this point, and regret may be too late. Do you think there's still a way to make up for it?" Yun Ting had already believed that his beautiful mother was a formidable figure, and it would always be beneficial to ask her opinion first.

  "Make up for it?" Mrs. Yun shook her head: "No need."

  "Ah?" Yun Zheng's eyes snapped open: "What...?"

  "We, the Yun family, would never have supported Lin Laosan anyway, so let's not mention him. The Crown Prince has been at odds with you since childhood, which may not be enough to stop the union of two powerful groups, but it is still a factor. The key is that uniting with the Sixth Prince is most beneficial for the Yun family. Firstly, the Sixth Prince needs the Yun family as his pillar of strength, and the Yun family can gain more benefits from their alliance; secondly, you have often helped the Sixth Prince since childhood, so he will always feel some affection and gratitude towards you, which will also help your future cooperation; thirdly, there is the Thirteenth Princess - once you marry her, Lin Xie will not only be your good friend and partner but also your brother-in-law, this familial relationship is quite close and will have a significant impact."

  Madam Yun said these three points, then smiled and said: "The Zhou family supports the crown prince, although it can greatly increase the strength of the crown prince. However, your father and I have always believed that a mud wall is still a mud wall, and it's impossible to support it. The support of the Zhou family can at most make the crown prince fall slower and more difficultly, but the final result will not change. If it weren't for this judgment, do you think you could still sit here with me smiling and chatting? You would have been dragged down by your father to be beaten with a military stick long ago!"

  Yun Cong smiled and thought for a moment, then asked: "If that's the case, does it mean that our Yun family has completely clashed with the Crown Prince? Then, we can be considered as truly belonging to the Sixth Master's faction now?"

  "It can be said that way," Mrs. Yun said lightly. In fact, in her opinion, it would be better to say that the sixth prince had become a member of the Yun family party, but this was not something that could be explicitly stated.

  "We also have an advantage." Yun Zhēn smiled and said: "Although the prince is determined to cause trouble, there are distinctions between close and distant relationships. Firstly, he can't ruin the relationship between Rong'er and me; secondly, he can't influence Qin Fei because her own son is helping us. So even if he makes a fuss in front of the emperor, when the Yun and Zhou families clash, the emperor will definitely follow the principle of not taking sides. However, subjectively speaking, he won't take sides, but objectively, he'll have to listen to the opinions of those around him - namely Qin Fei and Rong'er herself. If that's the case, what do I need to worry about?"

  Mrs. Cloud nodded and said, "The prince will definitely make a move, this doesn't need to be said as everyone already knows it in their hearts, however no matter what move he makes it's of no concern, our Cloud family will just continue on."

  Yun Teng said: "To be honest, even if the prince starts to unite with the Zhou family now, it will still take some time for them to cooperate and understand each other. This time, the date of Yan'er's wedding is set after the Lantern Festival, which is already quite tight. I think in this matter, the Zhou family may not be able to exert much force, and a single prince alone should not cause too much trouble."

  "Since it's already been decided to propose to the 13th Princess, you should also hurry up and get married. Coincidentally, although your father is not satisfied with the outcome of this battle, you and Cheng Rui did manage to scatter nearly 50,000 vanguard troops from Liao. Although it's a pity that they weren't completely annihilated, according to the rules, this military achievement is still quite impressive. Hehe, with 30,000 soldiers, beheading 4,000, capturing 3,000, and routing nearly 50,000 - no matter how you look at it, it's a great merit! This battle record should be enough as a gift for your wedding ceremony."

  Yun Cong's face turned red with shame, and he awkwardly said: "Mother, let's not mention this matter of merit or no merit... Ah, right, what about the vanguard of the Liao army, Prince Yelü Chiri, did they catch him in the end?"

  Mrs. Yun shook her head: "Those two Jianghu dead warriors disguised as bodyguards next to Ye Lu Ci Lei, they risked their lives to rescue him. Alas, this matter is indeed a bit regrettable. If you could capture the Liao State's imperial uncle prince, your merit book would look even more impressive this time. However, it doesn't matter, being able to smoothly follow the rules set by your Yun family ancestors and complete the capping ceremony is enough."

  Mrs. Cloud said that the rules set by the ancestors of the Cloud family are actually like this. Every young man in the Cloud family must complete a certain number of enemy kills before coming of age, and only then can he be considered an adult through the capping ceremony. The eldest son is even more strict, and must command at least one victorious battle, and the number of enemy troops defeated in that battle cannot be less than 10,000.

  Yun Cong's performance in this battle, by Yun Lan's standards, was indeed full of mistakes and shortcomings. However, luck can be unpredictable at times. Although Yun Cong's command was not brilliant, Ye Lü Ci Lei made even more mistakes due to various reasons, directly leading to Yun Cong winning a great victory despite his poor performance, making it an unbelievable outcome.

  Sometimes the outcome of a war can be completely reversed by some such and such things, just like a horseshoe nail and the collapse of an empire seem to have nothing to do with each other, but this thing is actually true.

  Yun Cong still has some lingering fear in his heart, but after all, he is an optimistic person. He comforted himself in his heart, thinking that he was not Yue Fei, and it wasn't possible for him to achieve such an exaggerated feat as defeating 100,000 golden soldiers with 800 ambush troops. It's already pretty good that he could fight to this extent.

  Yun's wife saw that his face was somewhat dull and he remained silent, thinking that he was unhappy because of his poor performance. She said: "Zheng'er, you have been working continuously for several days now. Go down and take a bath, sleep well tonight. I will discuss with your father what day is good to hold the capping ceremony for you, so you can go to Luoyang to propose."

  "Okay, thank you, Mother, I'll go first then."
