In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Chapter 1189 Are all young masters from aristocratic families so scheming?

"Baili..." Cheng Yan tried to make amends, but was interrupted after only two sentences.

"Chengyan! Don't say anything else. You're different from us. If you say too much, I'll get jealous and upset!"

Cheng Yan: "................................................................"

After being taken aback by Baili Jihua's words, Cheng Yan went straight to the point: "Consort Baili, if Feng Qi isn't sincere, how can the mistress like him?"

"If his wife didn't like it, would she let him be so affected and pretentious?"

Cheng Yan was stunned by these words. That's right! His wife didn't refuse, but she didn't object to him either.

"The mistress doesn't seem to demand much from us, but she can get angry when it comes to matters of principle. The fact that she hasn't gotten angry means there's still room for control. The lord has already warned Feng Qi before, so there shouldn't be any major problems! Let him be. I also want to see what he'll become."

Cheng Yan: "................................................................"

Are all young masters from wealthy families so cunning? He suddenly realized how wonderful Fragrant Hills truly was...

"You lot must be exhausted living, Consort Baili. Since the mistress is asleep, I'm going to check on the young master's situation. I'm off." Cheng Yan said, then vanished in a flash.

Baili Jihua looked in the direction Cheng Yan left and sighed helplessly. As young masters of noble families, they had no say in their own lives from birth, and their lives were indeed not easy. But fortunately, they met their wife. Thinking about the next few decades, they thought they would be very happy.

While asleep, Su Yueyao was unaware of the chaotic conversation. All she knew was that Feng Qi seemed to have changed, becoming more childlike. Seeing this change, she was genuinely satisfied.

She knew how difficult his life had been in the palace, living a repressed life disguised as a woman, so she was somewhat indulgent towards him. However, he always stayed by her side wearing a mask. She thought that after he came of age in two years, she probably wouldn't agree to marry him.

After all, she didn't like living with a fake person. Wasn't His Highness like that before? Before marrying her, he was crazy, ruthless, and gloomy, but after marrying her, he gradually became more comfortable and more human.

Now she has become like a sunny and handsome young man. Everyone else has changed to some extent. She is very satisfied. This feeling makes her feel a sense of mutual redemption. Since she transmigrated, her thoughts and temperament have changed a lot. Actually, it's really good.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Su Yueyao is already more than two months pregnant, and Xingchen and the others had such severe morning sickness half a month ago that they couldn't control themselves and went directly to the manor outside Fengdu. The leader of the Duan Alliance also went with them.

After they left, Su Yueyao felt a little empty inside. She felt as if they were still living together in the mansion, and she didn't know why she felt so lost after they left.

"My lady, the children are fine. Is there anything wrong with you?" Lu Yuanyi said after taking Su Yueyao's pulse.

"Yuanyi, by the end of this month, I'll be three months pregnant. Will Xingchen and the others' pregnancy symptoms have lessened by then?"

"Probably! The news that came back yesterday said their symptoms have improved a bit and they can get out of bed and walk a few steps."

"I can only walk a few steps! It's so painful," Su Yueyao sighed.

"It is indeed uncomfortable. Fortunately, the leader of the Duan Alliance helped suppress it with his internal energy, allowing them to barely eat some nourishing pills and drink some rice porridge. Otherwise, once this reaction is over, they will all be skin and bones, and the wife will be heartbroken."

"Even so, I think they'll lose a lot of weight. I'll definitely give them a good boost when they come back."

"My lady, their matter is not urgent. You must take good care of your belly. This belly is a bit bigger than the last one, so you must not bump or hurt it."

"You all have sentries every five steps and guards every three steps, and you even send two people to accompany me every day. Isn't that safe enough?" Su Yueyao said helplessly.

"That's for the safety of the wife. Her belly will grow bigger in the future. If each person has one child, the wife will have six children. But Nanfeng's reaction is particularly strong, so it's probably a multiple pregnancy."

"The wife is carrying either seven or eight children!"

“It’s good that Nanfeng has multiple children. Both the Feng and Nan families have gotten what they wanted. One child per family, seven children is not unheard of. I can do it,” Su Yueyao said with a smile.

"My lady, then you..."

Su Yueyao, not wanting to listen to Lu Yuanyi's nagging any longer, changed the subject and asked, "Weren't you and Jing Shu with me today? Where is Jing Shu? Shouldn't he be off court by now?"

“My lady, Jing Shu has too many things to arrange lately, so I think I’ll be a little late.”

"Besides his position as Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, what else does Jing Shu have to arrange? He's so busy!"

"The first round of the imperial examination has been launched throughout the Phoenix Kingdom. After the New Year, the candidates who have passed the examination will take the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination, and the palace selection. His Majesty will personally issue an edict to appoint the top three candidates."

"So soon? I thought the exam would be after the New Year!"

"It's not going to happen quickly. This policy was proposed by the wife and it's been almost a year now. Even if it's implemented, the powerful families in Fengdu and other places are all against it."

"It's normal for them to object, after all, doing so would harm their interests. Originally, their children could enter the court as officials simply by being recommended. The imperial examination system directly relies on ability, and how many sons of noble families are truly talented?"

"They successfully eliminated their shortcuts; how could we not object?"

“My wife is right, that makes perfect sense,” Chen Jingshu said with a smile.

"Jing Shu, you've finished court? That makes sense. Have these aristocratic families given you any trouble?" Su Yueyao asked Chen Jing Shu with a smile.

"I haven't been troubled lately. I've been more interested in meeting with my wife, hoping that I can choose some men for her to serve you!"

Su Yueyao: “…”

In one sentence, the conversation died.

But seeing his resentful and weary air, let's forgive him a little...

"So you rejected them all? Do you think they'll let you off the hook?"

"Of course I refused. There's nothing I can do if they won't let me go. But I did say something later: I'll try my best to mention it to you, and whether or not I'll see my wife is the final decision!"

"They were all immediately happy and politely said they would wait for my news."

“My lady, you have no idea that because of this matter, it’s been much easier for me to get things done than before. Everyone is trying to curry favor with me and see you.”

"But don't worry, my wife, I've taken care of everything. You don't need to worry about things outside. You can do whatever you want."

"It seems the people outside are still not giving up!" Su Yueyao said helplessly.
