Lian Shi and Yun Chen happily took the eldest family to see the betrothal gifts. Ye Feiyu quietly pulled Ye Wenyan and said to her with a stern face: "If you are not short of money, don't talk about the betrothal gifts. If you are short of money, you must not talk about the betrothal gifts. The amount of the betrothal gifts has nothing to do with whether this marriage can be successful. Just say from your heart whether you like it or not. Mother is right. If you like it, we will accept this decree from heaven. If you don't like it, our family will fight against the decree of heaven and we must protect you this time!"
When Ye Feiyu said this, her voice trembled slightly. Ye Wenyan understood that the fear of the second day of the twelfth lunar month had been deeply buried in the hearts of the Ye family's eldest family members, and they had never forgotten it for a moment. They just learned to hide it, and kept it in their hearts as much as possible, not bringing it out often, so as not to add psychological burden to her.
Today, Master Liyuan suddenly issued such a decree, and the things that had been buried deep in his heart were brought to the surface again. Mu Shi was uneasy, Ye Feiyu was uneasy, and Ye Qingmei was also uneasy. Only Ye Lianmian followed with a sly look, staring at the betrothal gifts with shining eyes, and didn't take the fact that she had been wrongly married into the Su Wang Mansion to heart at all.
Ye Qingmei glanced at Ye Lianmian, frowned slightly, but said nothing. She just approached Ye Wenyan and said to her in a low voice: "Yan'er, if I'm not mistaken, it should be that master who heard about the matter of the Princess's Mansion, so he issued this decree at this critical moment. Once the decree is issued, even if you really killed the Princess, no one dares to say anything. No matter how aggrieved the royal family is, they have to swallow this breath. Now that I think about it, I regret not following you to the Princess's Mansion. If I had known that your family member would support you like this, I would have wanted to slap the Princess a few times to vent my anger."
After years of accumulated resentment, everyone in the Ye family's eldest branch is fed up with Quan Qianluo.
"Yan'er, there is one more thing." Ye Qingmei smiled bitterly at this point, "Although I didn't go to the Princess Chang's Mansion, I stayed at home and borrowed your light to solve a big~problem." Ye Qingmei told her: "Not long ago, I told my mother about my marriage. I wanted to cancel the marriage. I will tell you in detail about the dirty things later. At that time, my mother promised to find a way to cancel the marriage for me, but she never met the right opportunity. As soon as the news of your trouble in the Princess Chang's Mansion spread, those ladies and the scarecrow with the name of Qiuhu King on them knelt at the door of our mansion. My mother said that the opportunity had come. She immediately went to the Fu family in person, brought the engagement letter sent by the Fu family, and canceled the marriage smoothly."
Ye Wenyan blinked and immediately understood, "The Fu family must have thought that I had provoked the eldest princess and would definitely die. And given the eldest princess's personality, they would definitely let the Ye family's eldest branch be implicated. They were afraid of being implicated, so they agreed to cancel the engagement."
Ye Qingmei nodded, "Yes, mother also said that this is the best time, and it also shows that we are righteous and will not bring trouble to their family. The marriage was called off very happily, but after we came back, we started to worry about you and wanted to go out to see you, but the door was locked by my second uncle."
At the gate of the Ye Mansion, the betrothal gifts from the Yanhua Palace had been presented to Mu and Ye Wenyan one by one.
Starting from the first box, they carried the boxes in front of them one by one, opened the lids, and Lian Shi and Yun Chen took turns to announce the contents.
The betrothal gifts from Yanhua Palace came in boxes after boxes, endlessly. At first, Ye Lianmian was still in the mood to count the boxes, but as she kept counting, she felt a little exhausted. Because she had counted 188 boxes, and there was still no end in sight.
A purple-robed palace servant who came with her saw that she was craning her neck to look, and kindly reminded her, "Young lady, stop looking. The Emperor has emptied half of the Yanhua Palace to propose marriage to the Fourth Miss Ye. I estimate that the last box of betrothal gifts is still waiting in line in the Yanhua Palace's warehouse, waiting to be moved out! Young lady, look at this street, there are already four rows of people."
Ye Lianmian looked as if he was dead as he followed the direction the palace servant pointed. Sure enough, there were four rows of palace servants carrying boxes and waiting to enter the general's mansion. Some were wearing crimson clothes, and some were wearing dark blue clothes.
The crimson purple represents the Yanhua Palace, and the dark blue represents the Imperial Palace. All the palace servants who had delivered the boxes to the palace immediately returned in a hurry to carry the next boxes.
The purple-robed palace servant added, "After all, the betrothal gifts are too much. Even if all the palace servants of Yanhua Palace and the Imperial Palace were dispatched, it's still not enough. We can only let those who were sent in first go back immediately, and take turns to deal with them."
Ye Lianmian was so angry that he almost broke his teeth!
She was extremely jealous that Ye Wenyan could marry the Sixth Prince. She didn't expect that the woman whose marriage was broken off would not become more and more destitute, but would transform herself into the girl chosen by the Emperor?
She was a little dazed, and she didn't quite react to the existence of the Emperor for a while. After all, he was a person she had never seen or met before, and only existed in legends. She never thought that one day she would be related to a god-like figure, so now, in addition to being jealous of the betrothal gifts that Ye Wenyan had received, she had not yet realized what the betrothal from Yanhua Palace meant.
But she was almost going crazy just from jealousy of the betrothal gifts. She was agitated and kept squatting and standing up. She had no way of accepting this reality. She was dazzled by the boxes of goodies. She almost couldn't control herself and wanted to jump onto the boxes.
The purple-robed palace servant seemed to see what the second young lady was thinking, and could not help but snort softly, then reminded her: "Young lady, please be reserved. You can't touch anything in these boxes! See? That jade is not ordinary jade! Those grades determined by the outside world cannot be used to measure the things of the emperor. Look carefully, that is fairy jade! It was handed down hundreds of years ago when the world still respected spiritual practitioners. Although there are some ancient families in the world who collect one or two pieces as heirlooms, the only one who can take out so many fairy jades at once is our emperor."
After saying that, he was afraid that Ye Lianmian didn't understand, so he further explained: "It is said that the immortal spirits in these fairy jades are full. If it were in the past, spiritual practitioners could replenish their own spiritual power by crushing a piece at will, and it could also be used as currency. Spiritual practitioners would fight for fairy jades and their families would be broken up, which shows how precious fairy jades are. Although the spiritual power of heaven and earth is gone now, you can also go out and ask around. In this world today, including the royal family, who doesn't value fairy jades? Who doesn't regard it as a treasure? Which family that owns fairy jade is not a famous and prosperous family? There are not many pieces of such things in the imperial palace, but Lord Emperor took out 9,999 pieces to propose to the fourth Miss Ye. Do you know what this is called?"
Ye Lianmian was even more confused, and asked confusedly: "What's your name?"
The palace servant said loudly: "This is called one in a million! It represents the importance that the Emperor attaches to Fourth Miss Ye. The importance of Fourth Miss Ye in the heart of the Emperor cannot be replaced by anyone!"
Ye Lianmian was about to collapse after hearing this. He suddenly covered his ears and shouted loudly: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it! Why does everyone like Ye Wenyan? What's so good about her? I don't believe it, I absolutely don't believe it!"
She turned around and was about to run back to the mansion, but the boxes were already piled up to the door, and even the old lady, Ye Jingsheng, and the two princes were driven out. The boxes were piled up, but there was still no room, and Ye Lianmian was also blocked outside.
Ye Lianmian suddenly laughed again, "I can't put it down! You don't have to give away the rest!"
Lian Shi glanced at her, snorted, and said, "Don't worry, the Emperor has made preparations. It doesn't matter if the General's Mansion can't accommodate it. Aren't there two more mansions on the left and right?"
Ye Lianmian was stunned, and so were the others. Ye Jingsheng subconsciously replied, "That's someone else's house!"
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the crowd: "No more! No more house! Give it to Lord Emperor!"
Then another voice followed suit and shouted, "My family will send one too! As a gift to the Emperor and Empress!"
The Ye family took a look and thought, well, they are just neighbors! They are neither big nor small, and they are also two second-rank officials.
Ye Jing was so angry that he was confused. He gave both the left and right boxes to Ye Wenyan? Just to pack these boxes? What if they still can't fit?
Soon someone understood his thoughts: "If these two mansions still can't accommodate it, then give the whole alley to Miss Ye Si! No! Give it to the future empress! Miss Ye Si is mighty, and the future empress will be blessed with a happy life!"
The crowd that had gathered to watch the excitement because the First and Second Princes led the imperial guards to surround the mansion had already increased several times with the arrival of the betrothal gifts. Until this moment, all the people in the inner city of Lin'an who could come had come, even the old men and women with inconvenient legs and feet were carried by the servants to watch this grand event. The baby who was not even a month old was also held by the wet nurse, indicating that the important thing was to participate.
The Emperor issued a decree from heaven to ask for the Empress to marry him. It is a scene rarely seen in hundreds of years. Just seeing it or hearing it is enough to be written into the family tree!
Therefore, the matter of the eldest princess and the remnant of Qiu Hu was only on the hot topic list of Lin'an City for a few hours before it was quickly kicked off. Now the most popular topic in the whole city was that the emperor had issued a decree to marry the fourth lady of the first-rank general's mansion, Ye Wenyan!
The second one becomes - "The second-rank official abandons his residence, congratulations to the emperor and the empress for their happy marriage."
The third one is - "In order to win the emperor and empress's smile, the whole alley was handed over to them."
The following chapters, fourth, fifth, and tenth, all revolve around the First-Rank General’s Mansion.
For example, the eldest prince and the second prince were slapped in the face when they approached the fourth young lady of the Ye family, the second young lady of the Ye family could not bear the stimulation and almost went crazy, the old lady of the Ye family watched this grand event without smiling, and no one knew who spread the news - the eldest lady of the Ye family disliked the emperor's age!
