Ye Mei's nonchalant tone made Ye Tian Yun instantly fall into a dilemma.
This marriage was personally bestowed by the Emperor. If he did not agree, although he could use his status as the Marquis to muddle through, he would probably no longer have a place in the court. It was difficult to disobey the emperor's orders. Even if he, Ye Tianyun, had the guts, he would not dare to jump out and oppose the emperor. Unless they really wanted to betray the country.
Therefore, for the sake of the future of the Constabulary and himself, he could not let Ye Mei break off the engagement no matter what. This dispensable daughter of his had suddenly changed overnight. If it was in the past, she would definitely not dare to disobey Ye Tianyun's threats.
But now, if this was the case, she would be even more dissatisfied, and the gains would not make up for the losses. Thinking about it, she could only agree to Ye Mei's request.
However, there was nothing wrong with calling the Ruan family a common wife. Madam Chen did not suffer much, but there was one more person who was on equal footing with her.
He turned his head to look at Ye Mei, only to see that she still had that indifferent look on her face. He sighed inwardly and said,""Alright, I promise you."
Hearing this, Ye Mei smiled and nodded. There was still no change in his expression. He turned around to look at Madame Ruan, only to see a look of disbelief on her face.
"Old Master, you're muddle-headed!" Madam Chen opened her mouth, that old face was filled with unwillingness.
However, not only did this scolding not relieve his hatred, it even made Ye Tianyun subconsciously want to distance himself from her. He sent someone to send the two of them away before turning his gaze back to Ye Mei." This should be enough, right?”
Ye Mei nodded his head and seemed to have thought of something. He smiled at Wan Er and reminded her,""Father, don't forget to include my mother's name in the Ye family's genealogy.”
"Father knows what to do." Ye Tianyun nodded, but a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
He did not expect that he would be controlled by a girl after so many years in the imperial court and at home. He did not know if he was old and unable to do so.
After hearing what he said, Ye Mei felt more at ease. After saying goodbye to Ye Tian Yun and Ruan shi, they returned to the loft.
Madame Ruan still felt like she was dreaming. She had never dared to dream of something in her life, but Ye Mei had helped her realize it." Mei 'er, you've done so much for Mother, Mother…"
She wanted to say something, but she hesitated. Clearly, she did not know how to express her excitement.
"You're my mother, so it's only right for Mei 'er to do anything for you. If she doesn't do anything and doesn't care about you, then it's really treasonous.”Ye Mei said. There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone. Compared to before when he was in front of everyone, Ye Mei at this moment definitely left the two of them flabbergasted.
Hearing her words, Mrs. Ruan's waist instantly became wet. There was joy and gratification, but more of it was the reluctance to part.
"Going to the prince's manor is not like going back home. You must be extremely careful.”She worriedly reminded Ye Mei. His expression suddenly turned serious as he looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he waved at Ye Mei and whispered into her ear,""Remember this during the wedding night…"
The voice grew softer and softer, but Ye Mei's face turned red. It was obvious that he was imparting some secret martial arts to Ye Mei. After a long while, Madame Ruan finally finished whispering. She looked at the shy Ye Mei and shook her head, unable to help but laugh.
She naturally did not know that Ye Mei was deliberately putting on an act for her to see. As early as in his previous life, Ye Mei had watched movies about sex no less than ten times. Moreover, he had actually fought with Murong Yue that night, so he was considered an experienced person.
The image of Murong Yue's smiling and gentle face involuntarily appeared in her mind. Ye Mei only felt his heart beat faster and his face reddened even more.
Perhaps Ye Mei had agreed to marry him not just for the sake of the Ruan family.
Three days passed by quickly. At that time, the entire manor was filled with a festive atmosphere. The red lanterns hung on the door, and the word "happy" pasted on them looked very dazzling.
Ye Mei sat in front of the dressing table, wearing the wedding dress that Madame Ruan had personally sewn for her.
Her hair was as black as ink, her eyebrows were like willows, her eyes were like water, her nose was like jade, and her lips were like fire. Her exquisite facial features coupled with the fiery red wedding dress made her look extremely beautiful.
Madame Ruan sat beside her, looking at her daughter who was like a lotus flower out of the water, but her face was full of reluctance and happiness.
"Seventh Miss, Lord Marquis wants you and Furen to complete the ceremony of entering the genealogy.”The butler's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Ye Mei responded and turned his head to look at Madame Ruan. He smiled faintly and said,""Mother, let's go."
Madame Ruan nodded and allowed Ye Mei to help her out of the door. The butler had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When he saw the two of them come out, he immediately bowed. When she raised her head, she was met with Ye Mei's face. She immediately froze on the spot, her eyes staring straight at her face.
Ye Mei frowned and coughed dryly. He then returned to his senses and smiled at Ye Mei embarrassedly," Young Miss is so beautiful today."”His words came from the bottom of his heart, without any intention of flattery.
Ye Mei merely nodded his head lightly. With this face, compared to her past life, she felt a little jealous.
In the Ye Clan's ancestral hall, Ye Tianyun had been waiting for Ye Mei's arrival. Looking at the red figure from afar, he was also shocked. When his gaze landed on Ruan shi, he was stunned.
Madame Ruan had specially dressed herself up today. Although she was already old, she still retained her charm. It was just that she had always been covered in dust and dirt in the past, hiding her beauty.
Ye Mei naturally saw his reaction and gave Madame Ruan a meaningful smile.
"It seems that mother has shocked everyone today.”she said with a teasing tone.
Mrs. Ruan glared at her and could not help but laugh." You're so rude. You're making fun of your mother."”
However, after hearing Ye Mei's words, her sadness from her reluctance to part with him calmed down a lot.
Ye Mei rubbed his nose resentfully and pulled Madame Ruan towards the ancestral hall.
The elders of the Ye family also came to the scene. When he saw the mother and daughter approaching, he carefully sized them up and frowned. He wanted to say something but was stopped by Ye Tianyun's gaze.
Although they were old, they were not muddle-headed. They naturally analyzed the pros and cons of this clearly. He nodded at the two of them indifferently, turned around, and walked in.
Ye Tianyun was afraid that Ye Mei would be unhappy, so he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile,""My dear daughter, those are all your grandfathers. They must personally preside over the genealogy.”
Hearing him say this, Ye Mei also understood. He nodded at him and then pulled Ruan shi inside. Her lukewarm attitude only made him feel repulsed.
Ye Tian Yun could not help but clench his fists under his sleeves. He took a deep breath to calm down the emotions that were about to explode and followed behind Ye Mei.
Now, he only wanted to send Ye Mei away as soon as possible so that everything would be fine.
The few so-called grandfathers held a long note and slowly read it. Madame Ruan knelt in front of the memorial tablets of the Ye family's ancestors and listened quietly.
Suddenly, the butler rushed in and whispered a few words into Ye Tianyun's ear. Ye Tianyun nodded thoughtfully and walked to Ye Mei's side, telling her that the bridal palanquin had arrived.
Upon hearing this, she turned her gaze to Madame Ruan." How long will it take for my mother to complete the ritual?"”
"Probably half an hour. Mei 'er, you can go to the wang fu in the bridal sedan first.”Ye Tianyun returned with a smile on his face.
Ye Mei only felt that his smile contained a deeper meaning and after thinking for a moment, he said,""Let them write their names down.”
" This..." Ye Tianyun looked at the few old men and revealed a troubled expression.
"Can't I? Then let them wait outside for an hour.”Ye Mei waved his hand indifferently.
Hearing this, his face immediately fell. He sighed and walked to an old man's side. He pulled him to a corner and whispered a few words to him.
"Nonsense!" The old man's furious voice rang out as he shot an unfriendly glance at Ye Mei.
Ye Tianyun immediately became anxious and whispered a few more words to him. After a moment, the old man sighed and chose to compromise.
He walked to the old man who was still reading the regulations and reached out to snatch his finger. The old man was stunned. He took out the genealogy and wrote down the names of Madam Ruan and Ye Mei. Then, he passed the genealogy to Ye Tianyun.
After checking it, he hurriedly showed the genealogy to Ye Mei. Ye Mei nodded and walked over to Madame Ruan's side to help her up.
"Mother, let's go." she said.
Madame Ruan had been kneeling for a long time, so she staggered and only recovered after a while.
Outside the door, the bridal sedan chair was already waiting outside. Ye Mei covered his head with a red veil and walked forward step by step with the support of Madame Ruan. Little Black also had a big red flower tied to his body and he followed behind Ye Mei obediently. This was the only living thing she brought to the Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Almost everyone from the Ye family came to send the bride off, only Shen shi and Ye Wan claimed to be ill and did not come out.
However, Ye Mei didn't care. It was better for her not to see those two people.
"Remember to be careful there. Come back to see mother when you have time.”Madame Ruan nagged a bunch of things into Ye Mei's ear, but the more she said, the sadder she became. Her eyes could not help but redden.
"Mother, what's wrong? My daughter should be happy when she gets married.”She squeezed out a smile and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She supported Ye Mei to stand in front of the palanquin, but she was reluctant to send her in.
"Madam, don't worry. We should be happy that our daughter can marry into a good family.”Ye Tianyun walked over and patted Madame Ruan's shoulder, but his face was also solemn.
Hearing this, Madame Ruan then sent Ye Mei into the palanquin, but tears flowed out of her eyes again.
"Mother, take care of yourself. Mei 'er will come back to see you when she's free.”Ye Mei opened the curtain and said.
Madame Ruan nodded and waved at Ye Mei. Ye Tianyun and the others had the same expression.
The sedan chair bearer lifted the sedan chair, turned around, and walked in the direction of King Xiang's Mansion.
Madame Ruan was still looking in the direction of the palanquin, her eyes red.
Ye Tianyun snorted coldly and left with a wave of his sleeves. As for the others, their reactions were similar to his.
On the other side, Ye Mei sat in the palanquin, his body swaying. In his heart, he was secretly puzzled. Why was there only one sedan chair and four sedan bearers in the bridal procession? As for Murong Yue, he didn't even see a shadow.
However, she knew very well that taking a concubine was not like taking a wife. She was already giving him enough face by being picked up by a sedan chair.
This King Xiang's estate was quite a distance away from the marquis 'estate. The few sedan bearers had pretty good walking speed, and they arrived at the manor in just over an hour.
However, this place was very deserted. It didn't seem like a wedding at all. Ye Mei frowned slightly and reached out to lift the curtain. He saw a few maids and servants standing guard outside the door. When they saw the bridal sedan chair approaching, they immediately led the sedan chair bearer in another direction.
"I knew you would come to the wrong door. This is a concubine, not a wife. The butler ordered you to go through the side door.”A woman's voice sounded from outside the palanquin.
The sedan chair bearer repeatedly nodded and followed the maids and servants to the side door.
Only then did Ye Mei realize that this side door did not even have the word " happy " pasted on it.
The servants looked around sneakily like thieves, then turned their heads and waved at the sedan chair bearers, signaling them to come in.
An unprecedented sense of grievance appeared in Ye Mei's heart. She had lived two lifetimes and the grand and luxurious wedding that she had imagined countless times in her heart had actually turned out like this.
No one knew where the groom had gone. The sedan chair carriers only carried Ye Mei into the manor and then disappeared. The maids helped Ye Mei into a room without saying a word. Although she was wearing a veil, she could still clearly feel the jealousy and vigilance in the eyes of the maids when they looked at her.
Ye Mei had never expected that Murong Yue's charm would be so great. She had just married into the wangfu and was even a concubine, yet she was already disliked by the maids. Presumably, he had often harmed such ignorant underage girls.
Of course, she was a woman of the 21st century, so she would not argue with these people.
Although there were no signs of marriage outside the mansion, the room was decorated well.
As soon as she entered, she was surrounded by red, and two big happy characters were pasted on both sides of the wall. A few maids unhappily shoved Ye Mei inside, then closed the door and turned to leave.
In the distance, he could only hear a few people discussing Ye Mei in low voices. Most of them were non-existent.
"You know what? In order to seduce our wangye, our new madam pretended to be a man and deliberately seduced him. It was said that our wangye was very unwilling, and we don't know what kind of effort she used to lure our wangye into taking the bait.”
"You don't know about this, right?" Another voice rang out," It was she who used her seduction technique to knock out the Emperor. The Emperor then issued an edict to betroth her to His Highness. However, she never expected that in the end, she would only be a concubine after spending so much effort.”
The voice went further and further away, and finally, the entire world fell into silence.
Ye Mei could only shake his head and laugh. It seemed that the matter between her and Murong Yue had already been spread beyond recognition. She had never experienced most of the content. It had to be said that people's gossiping spirit had been very strong since ancient times.
It seemed that his life in the Imperial Residence would not be so easy in the future. However, since they were already here, they should take it as it was. What kind of life had Ye Mei not experienced before? She was confident that she could tame those little maids within five moves.
It was just for the sake of peace. If someone really did not know what was good for them and provoked them, she would naturally not be polite.
Thinking about it, there was nothing to worry about. Looking around the room, there were a few plates of exquisite snacks and a pot of wine on the table.
Ye Mei involuntarily swallowed his saliva. Only then did he realize that she had not eaten since last night.
Ye Mei did not care about the etiquette that he should pay attention to when he first arrived at the Prince's mansion. He walked quickly to the table and picked up the snacks to stuff them into his mouth. It had to be said that the conditions in the Imperial Residence and the military camp were different. Not only did the desserts look beautiful, but they also tasted very refreshing.
Suddenly, the tightly shut door was slowly pushed open. Ye Mei's mouth was stuffed with snacks, but he had yet to swallow them when he turned his head to look.
Murong Yue was wearing red clothes, and there was a red string tied to his hair. After taking off his armor, he looked like a handsome man. He still had that smile on his face as he turned his head to look at Ye Mei, but his eyes met with her face that was stuffed with food.
For some reason, he smiled again, and his eyes revealed a doting expression. He lifted his feet and slowly walked towards Ye Mei.
Ye Mei felt a chill run down his spine and subconsciously wanted to retreat.
"Why? Is This King that terrifying?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Mei with a smile that was not a smile.
Ye Mei hurriedly shook his head and grabbed a jug of wine from the table and poured it into his mouth. He swallowed the dessert and then used his sleeve to wipe the residue at the corner of his mouth before standing up from the stool. She smiled at him in embarrassment and said softly,""You're here."
At this moment, Ye Mei revealed the attitude of a little woman. Her eyes were fixed on her shoes, and her face was red all the way to her ears.
Murong Yue did not speak and just walked to Ye Mei. He slowly reached out his hand to grab her chin and lifted her head up. However, the smile on his face instantly froze, and his eyes revealed a stunning light. He stared blankly at the woman in front of him, and for a moment, he actually lost his mind.
Ye Mei coughed dryly in embarrassment but did not say anything.
She looked up at the sky outside and realized that it had already turned dark.
" That…" She was so embarrassed that she wanted to break the silence at this moment, but she found that Murong Yue was still staring at her.
"Have you seen enough?" Ye Mei stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes. At this moment, she had already returned to normal. The shyness of a young girl was not something that her age should have.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
