"Since you're letting me speak, I'll not be polite," Yang Mengchen, well aware of the ladies' temperaments, didn't mince her words: "My daughter-in-law must be dignified and elegant, virtuous and graceful, and of beautiful appearance; as for my son-in-law, he must not only have an outstanding appearance but also be talented in both literary and martial arts, and have impeccable character; most importantly, my children shall be betrothed at fifteen, and whether it be a daughter-in-law or son-in-law, they must meet with my approval."
Yang Mengchen's criteria were on par with the Emperor choosing consorts. However, upon reflecting that the Royal Grandson would inevitably succeed the throne, having high demands for his principal wife was understandable. Everyone thought about it and felt relieved, and the son-in-law's conditions were not too harsh and were entirely acceptable.
