The war events shook the border and shocked the court, but Shangjing was the most prosperous place at the feet of the emperor. Although they were well-informed, border affairs were too far away for them.
Besides, even if there is a fight, they can't do anything. They have to live how they want.
As Ye Shaoyang's wedding was approaching, the Ye family became even busier. Lin Xiao and Wu Yu also came to attend the wedding banquet on behalf of the Lin family.
Ye Wanwan doesn't interfere in the affairs of the Ye family, but she can still help entertain Lin Xiao and his wife. She has a good relationship with them.
Wu Yu still has the same carefree temperament. Although she has become a mother, her temper seems to be even hotter. However, they did not bring their children this time because the Jin Kingdom is also restless and they will go back in a few days.
It is strange to say that neither Duke Lu nor the Lin family had any idea of sending their children back even though they knew that the border was dangerous.
Isn’t it better to raise your children in Beijing than to suffer at the border?
Ye Wanwan is someone who can't stand hardship. She grew up in Shangjing since she was a child. She is a flower raised in wealth and wealth, so she likes luxury and comfort, but these generals are different. You can always see it in them.
A fearless, indomitable hope and strength.
She is a carefully cared for peony, and they are tough and strong wildflowers. One is delicate but decadent, the other is stubborn and self-reliant. In comparison, I always feel that I am losing.
She envied those people who lived with goals and pursuits, who knew what they wanted to do and where they wanted to go. Unlike her, who seemed to be bright and cheerful, but in fact had begun to decay, and was only shiny on the surface.
Ye Wanwan was lying on the rocking chair basking in the sun when Dong Yu hurried in: "Madam, someone from the Ye Mansion said that Mr. Yan has come to propose marriage."
Ye Wanwan sat up suddenly: "Propose marriage?"
Why didn't you hear Yan Chen talk about it?
Ye Wanwan subconsciously wanted to go take a look, then she thought of something and lay back down. Generally speaking, the parents would be involved in matters such as marriage proposals. The daughter to be married only had to wait in her boudoir and could not participate.
But her situation is different. She is a deposed concubine, and she does not live in the Ye family.
Yan Chen insisted on following etiquette, which made her a little distressed.
Of course, Ye Wanwan didn't want to stop it, but she didn't know what to do.
She was once a noble concubine of the late emperor. Not to mention whether Ye Zhaoru agreed or not, if this matter spread, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty would definitely not be able to sit still. There is no such thing as saying that the former emperor and his concubine remarried.
If Yan Chen were still the king of Jin, he should be able to suppress these people, but now he is just a small military attaché.
Of course, since Yan Chen decided to propose marriage, she believed that he would be able to handle it well and solve future troubles. However, he was also someone she cared about. Since it was a mutually agreeable marriage, he could not bear these matters alone.
Ye Wanwan thought for a moment, then got up and went to the study. She rummaged around on the bookshelf and found a hidden compartment with a box in it. She opened the box and found a rolled-up imperial edict inside.
Slowly unfolding the imperial edict, the content inside is blank, except for two eye-catching red seals in the lower right corner.
The Great Jade Seal, the private seal of the emperor, is a blank imperial edict she got from Zhao Zhuo. It will take effect as long as the content is written on it.
Ye Wanwan started to write, but for a moment she didn't know how to start. How could anyone write a marriage edict for her?
After hesitating for a moment, she re-rolled the edict and put it back in the box, and had someone deliver it to Yan Chen.
She wasn't sure if Yan Chen would use it, but it was her attitude to give it to him.
----
Since Yan Chen wanted to propose marriage, he was naturally well prepared. Today was an auspicious day that he had chosen long ago and he had been waiting for a long time.
Bring the prepared marriage proposal gifts, bring the matchmaker, and go to the door to propose marriage in a very formal manner.
Of course, he did not do it to gain the approval of Ye Zhaoru and Zhuang Qin. People in the Ye family were dispensable in his eyes. All he wanted was Ye Wanwan.
All he was doing now was just to go through an honest formality, and then he could prepare for the wedding. He had already set the wedding date, and everything was done step by step, with no room for error.
Zhuang Qin naturally wouldn't stop Yan Chen, but Ye Shaoyang was reluctant, but he had no intention of stopping her. If Ye Wanwan was not allowed to marry him, was there any other choice?
Yan Chen and Ye Wanwan have been together for a long time. It doesn't matter whether they stop it or not. Even if Yan Chen comes to propose marriage in a proper manner, it does not mean that they can express their opinions. It is just a process.
To this day, Ye Shaoyang has to admit that even though he and Ye Wanwan are biological siblings, there is always a deep gap that is difficult to fill.
Ye Wanwan no longer belongs to the Ye family.
Thinking of this, Ye Shaoyang just clenched his fists, feeling unwilling to give up. He would not give up. Even if Ye Wanwan no longer wanted the Ye family, he would still walk towards her. They were brothers and sisters from the same father and mother, and they would never let go of each other.
When Yan Chen came to Ye's house, the last person he met was Ye Zhaoru. Ye Zhaoru was driven crazy by Yan Chen that day, but today he is much calmer.
Yan Chen came to the door with gifts, but Ye Zhaoru didn't want to see him, so he still pulled him out and forced him to drink tea with him.
Whether you like it or not, you still have to accompany him through the cutscenes. I have to say that Ye Zhaoru, the father-in-law, must be feeling aggrieved.
But when he thought about his own daughter, his father felt equally aggrieved.
They didn't talk much, and they didn't have a friendship where they could reminisce and chat. After drinking a cup of tea, Yan Chen put down the cup: "Since uncle has no objection, the wedding date will be set on the 20th of next month. Thank you uncle for making it happen."
No opinion? Still satisfied? Fart!
Yan Chen was calm and polite, and acted like a gentleman. Only Ye Zhaoru knew what kind of gentleman this man was, he was clearly a jackal.
He secretly puts a knife to others' necks and threatens them to achieve his goal, but on the surface he acts like a humble gentleman and behaves coquettishly.
He also knew about the real and fake Prince Jin outside. The truth given by the emperor was really hard to convince the public, and he even believed that the person in front of him was the masked Prince Jin. From the very beginning when Prince Jin entered the court, people had to
Paying attention to this young man and living with him in the same dynasty makes him more or less familiar.
Although he wears a mask, recognition is not just based on his face, but also on his mask, demeanor, behavior, and methods. These are the most difficult things to imitate.
But why would he abandon such a noble status as King Jin? And what situation did he want to set up?
Ye Zhaoru couldn't figure it out, but it didn't affect his murderous intention towards Yan Chen. Keeping this man around would definitely be the biggest hidden danger.
And now this person wants to marry Ye Wanwan... No matter how bad it is, it's a disaster. It's just right to be together. Anyway, he can't stop it now.
But when he thought of Ye Wanwan, the anger in his heart immediately grew stronger. That rebellious girl was the one who deserved the most punishment. She was a ruthless, ungrateful white-eyed wolf who had ruined all his years of upbringing.
