When Ye Mei heard this, he only felt that it was strange. From afar, he saw the Family Head waiting outside. He frowned slightly but felt that the person was somewhat familiar.
"This lowly one has been waiting for Niangniang for a long time. Niangniang, please come in. This must be Old Furen, please come in.”The middle-aged man was wearing a blue embroidered robe. His eyes were narrowed into a line as he smiled.
Ye Mei sized him up carefully and remembered that he was one of the commoners invited to the coronation.
"What a coincidence to meet you here today.”Ye Mei smiled and said.
"It is truly my honor that Your Majesty is able to look upon this lowly one's humble abode.”The man replied politely and led the group of people to the hall to take their seats.
"I wonder what our butler told you about this house?”She asked directly.
The man bowed respectfully." Since Your Majesty wants it, this commoner will definitely not say no."”
Hearing him say this, Ye Mei understood and nodded slightly to buy the house. After a few pleasantries, the man left with his family.
This person had a big family and business, so he did not have to worry about not having a place to live.
The problem of the Ruan family's residence was solved. It was not a bad thing for them to be able to leave the group of deformed people in the Marquis 'Residence. Moreover, the living conditions were much better than before.
Seeing that Xi 'er and Madame Ruan had a good relationship, Ye Mei specially left her by Madame Ruan's side to take care of her so that she could return to the palace in peace.
When Ye Wan heard that the mother and daughter had moved away, she immediately became anxious, but she didn't know where they had gone.
In her anxiety, she returned to her rude nature and caused a ruckus in the Marquis's residence. The housekeeper's tongue was also tight and she was unable to get anything out of her after being interrogated several times.
Outside the manor, the imperial carriage had already stopped. Murong Yue had sent hundreds of imperial guards to bring Ye Mei back to the palace, but Ye Mei had not appeared. Ye Tianyun was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but he could do nothing if he couldn't find her.
When Ye Wan saw this scene, she also became anxious. She had served this mother and daughter for so many days just so that Ye Mei could read out the imperial edict. But if this situation continued to develop, it would be hard to say if she could even appear, let alone read out the imperial edict.
A group of people stood in the courtyard of the Marquis 'Residence and paced back and forth, occasionally raising their heads to look at the door with resentment. Ye Wan, on the other hand, walked out of the door. She looked even more anxious than Ye Tianyun. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of her.
"They're all here." Ye Mei's faint voice came from outside the door. When the group of imperial guards saw the person coming, they immediately knelt on the ground and bowed. That momentum made the passers-by unable to help but look sideways.
Everyone walked out of the courtyard. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, they immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Ye Tianyun sized her up." Empress, hurry up and get on the royal carriage. We've been waiting for you for a long time."”From his tone, it seemed like he couldn't wait to chase her away.
Ye Mei nodded his head unconcernedly, his eyes glancing at Ye Wan intentionally or unintentionally. As expected, her face had already turned deathly pale and she stood rooted to the ground, lost in thought.
Suddenly, she raised her head abruptly and quickly walked to Ye Mei's side to tug at her sleeve." Little Sister, you can't leave, you can't leave."”
Ye Mei's brows furrowed slightly as he struggled to break free from her grip. Ye Wan lost her balance and fell to the ground. Ignoring the pain in her body, she kneeled beside her and reached out to grab her leg.
How could Ye Mei let her grab him again? He immediately took a step back and looked at her with a sympathetic expression. He shook his head in disappointment and turned to look at the eunuch who was accompanying him." Read the imperial edict to her."”
The eunuch nodded and took out the yellow piece of paper from his sleeve. He looked at the woman kneeling in front of him with disdain, and his eyes were also filled with sympathy." Ye Wan, accept the edict."”
As soon as he said that, everyone in the manor knelt on the ground respectfully and shouted a few words of long live the emperor.
Seeing this, the eunuch finally finished reading the imperial edict with his unique high-pitched voice.
Ye Wan was naturally filled with joy as she thanked him. Her hands that were holding the imperial edict trembled non-stop. Her heart was instantly filled with mixed feelings. She even forgot why she had spent so much effort to obtain the position of Empress.
Ye Mei secretly mocked him and without turning his head, he sat on the imperial carriage and left the Marquis 'Residence.
When she left, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Ye Tianyun immediately began to curry favor with her, the daughter who had just been conferred the title of Empress. As for his previous dissatisfaction and disappointment with her, it instantly disappeared.
To him, the most important things were power and status, and those who could give him these were the people he fawned on.
On the day of the wedding, the entire Marquis 'Residence was bustling with activity. Compared to Ye Mei's previous marriage, it was only slightly more bustling.
Ye Wan sat quietly in front of the mirror. Her fiery red wedding dress was embroidered with a phoenix that was about to fly. She wore a white jade belt with a phoenix carved on it.
The golden phoenix coronet was placed quietly in front of the cabinet. Sunlight streamed in through the window and shone on the phoenix coronet, reflecting a gorgeous light. Ye Wan looked at herself in the mirror and smiled indifferently, revealing a smile that she thought was more extraordinary than Ye Mei. Now that she had finally become the Empress, she naturally could not be compared to an Imperial Noble Consort.
"Miss, the auspicious time has arrived. Are you ready?”The butler's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Ye Wan suddenly turned her head to look at the door and asked sternly,""What did you call me?"
The butler couldn't help but shrink his head and replied with a trembling voice,"Your, Your Majesty the Empress."
Upon hearing this, she nodded in satisfaction. She narrowed her eyes and carefully picked up the phoenix crown in front of her. Then, she slowly put it on her head. She stood up and revealed an insufferably arrogant smile. She raised her feet and walked out of the door.
The butler had been waiting outside the door the entire time. When he saw Ye Wan walk out, he was slightly taken aback but could not help but compare her to Ye Mei.
The two of them had their own merits, but in comparison, Ye Mei had a bearing that Ye Wan did not possess. It was also because of this bearing that she was able to intimidate everyone.
Ye Wan naturally didn't know what he was thinking. She glanced at him arrogantly, which formed a stark contrast with her servile attitude towards Ye Mei a few days ago.
However, her heart felt somewhat empty and her gaze involuntarily looked at the room where Madam Chen's room was when she was alive. Her brows were slightly furrowed but she instantly returned to normal. He covered his head with a red veil and walked slowly into the courtyard with the help of a maid.
"Aiya, my Empress, you're finally here!”A sharp voice sounded, but there was a hint of impatience in his tone.
"Alright, Eunuch Li, stop complaining. Quickly bring the Empress into the palace.”Ye Tianyun tried to smooth things over. If she had Ye Wan's personality, the two of them would definitely have a big fight.
Eunuch Li didn't say anything else. He took Ye Wan from the maid's hands and carefully helped her out of the door.
Outside, a red sedan chair was quietly placed. Four sedan bearers were sitting on the stone steps at the door, talking.
The group of people who had rushed over after hearing the news stood not far away in surprise. They gathered together and pointed at the palanquin, talking about something unknown. However, it wasn't hard to tell that they were laughing at the empress who didn't look like an empress.
Seeing Ye Wan and Ye Tianyun come out, everyone tactfully shut their mouths. At the same time, they walked over with smiles on their faces and feigned civility with Ye Tianyun. This time, they said some flattering words.
Although Ye Tianyun was unhappy, he could not show it. He could only follow their words and smile politely.
"Empress, get on the sedan." Eunuch Li said politely. In front of these outsiders, he had given the Ye Clan some face.
Ye Wan nodded slightly. Through the red muslin, she did not see the grand array that she had expected. The red sedan chair was placed alone, and it looked somewhat familiar.
The sedan chair carrier had already walked to the front of the sedan chair and impatiently urged the two of them. They had carried so many concubines into the palace, so they could naturally tell at a glance which concubine was favored and which concubine was not. Hence, he didn't give Ye Wan any face at all.
Ye Wan was also unhappy. She took off her veil and glared at Eunuch Li.""Why is there only this broken palanquin?”
Eunuch Li was shocked by her fierce appearance and couldn't help but shrink his head.""Emperor, the Emperor's intentions."
"Where is the emperor?" Only then did she remember that Murong Yue should have come to pick up the bride, but after looking for a long time, she did not see his figure.
"The emperor personally went to the battlefield at the border early this morning.”When Eunuch Li returned, he instantly became more confident. His disdainful gaze fell on Ye Wan's face and he shook his head gently." If you don't want to be the Empress, you can choose not to get on this bridal sedan, but you have to return this phoenix crown to me."”
Hearing him say this, Ye Wan immediately became nervous. She kept shaking her head and muttering something. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something and reached out to tug at Eunuch Li's clothes." Did that slut Ye Mei ask you to do this?”
After she finished speaking, she stretched out her other hand and pointed at the bridal sedan chair. It was obvious that Ye Mei had used it before and now he was giving it to her.
Eunuch Li hurriedly shook his head and glared at Ye Wan. He forcefully pulled her hand away from his clothes and said rudely,""The Imperial Concubine has already followed the Emperor to the battlefield, where would she have the time to meddle in your affairs!”
Ye Wan's face instantly turned deathly pale when she heard this. She took a few steps back before stopping, and the phoenix crown on her head began to sway.
Ye Tianyun walked to her side and patted her shoulder gently. He said earnestly,""Wan 'er, you have to know that it's not a broken palanquin, but the Empress' seat.”
Ye Wan looked at Ye Tianyun with a dull expression. After a long time, she gently put down the veil and bent down to sit in the sedan.
"Rise!" Eunuch Li's sharp voice rang out. The sedan chair carriers immediately lifted the sedan chair and walked towards the Empress.
Ye Tianyun helplessly shook his head. He glanced at the people who had come over to congratulate him, then turned around and walked into the Marquis 'Residence. Behind him, there were waves of discussions.
Those who were originally prepared to fawn over him turned into laughing stock.
Her wedding was quite stifling. No matter what, it was the coronation of the empress, but there was no lively ceremony. There was no congratulations from the subjects. The only thing there was was a red sedan chair and an impolite Eunuch Li.
Moreover, the Emperor himself had followed the Imperial Noble Consort to the battlefield.
The sedan chair entered the palace through a side door. The sedan bearers carried Ye Wan to a palace and left in a hurry. Eunuch Li still had some conscience and told Ye Wan that this was where she would live in the future, the Qian Ning Palace.
However, at a glance, it was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time. The deserted door was covered with weeds.
Eunuch Li carefully pushed open the door, and a pile of dust immediately fell from the sky. He quickly covered his nose and waved his hand." Please come in, Your Majesty."”
Although Ye Wan was angry, she couldn't flare up. She could only hold it in and follow him in.
The space inside was not small, but it was covered in dust after being uninhabited for many years.
The sound of the door being pushed open rang out once again. Eunuch Li said,""You can stay here tonight. This servant will send someone over tomorrow.”
After saying that, he bowed slightly to Ye Wan and turned around to leave, completely ignoring the loud shouts behind him.
Ye Wan could only stomp her feet in anger. When she walked in, she realized that the interior was also old, but there was no dust. It looked like it had just been cleaned.
"Ye Mei!" She gritted her teeth and forcefully pulled off the veil on her head. She looked around and after a long time, she suddenly raised her head and laughed loudly.
There would always be endless training and battles in the military camp. Murong Yue and Ye Mei hurried over on their horses, and the generals had been waiting outside for a long time.
Seeing them arrive, he immediately perked up. Without any explanation, he dragged Murong Yue into the commander's tent. Just like when he left, nothing had changed.
A few days ago, Murong Yue received a secret report that several countries were preparing to attack Yan Country. Although there was still a rift between the Qi Kingdom and the Sheng Kingdom, they had put aside their grudges. The generals of several countries gathered together with only one goal, to take down the Yan Kingdom.
They all knew that there was a very powerful female general in Yan Country who had trained a very powerful team. It was also because of her existence that the monarchs of these countries were in danger.
If the army came to their doorstep, would they fight or not?
If they fought, there would only be one outcome, a crushing defeat. If they did not fight, the country would eventually be annexed.
After concluding the reasons for the destruction of the previous few small countries, they unanimously chose to join forces. Only then would they have the strength to compete with them. Only by toppling this giant would they have a chance to survive.
It was said that there was strength in numbers. No matter how few countries gathered together, they were still a force that could not be ignored. If they were not careful, they would definitely lose in the end.
"Pass down the order to immediately increase the defense. We must not let the enemy take advantage of it.”Murong Yue said in a deep voice. He lowered his head and looked at the map on the table. Originally, there were only three flags, but now there were several times more.
As soon as he heard his orders, the general immediately went out to do as he was told.
After a long time, Murong Yue moved his gaze away from the map and looked up at the generals sitting in front of him," I wonder if you have any good ideas?”
After he asked this question, everyone looked at each other. In the end, they could only helplessly shake their heads at Murong Yue.
"Presumably, the emperor should have a countermeasure in his heart?”Long Moqing asked. He still looked indifferent in front of the enemy.
Murong Yue frowned and shook his head lightly.
"They are just a bunch of motley crew.”Ye Mei's voice suddenly rang out from outside the commander's tent.
Everyone was stunned. They could not help but look over, only to see that she had changed into a set of armor. Her hair was tied up high behind her head, and she looked valiant. Unlike everyone else, there was no worry in her expression, as if she had already planned this matter.
"Mei 'er, what do you mean?" Long Moqing spoke first, looking at Ye Mei gently.
Murong Yue's face instantly darkened and he shot him a displeased glance. However, he did not say anything and waved at Ye Mei, indicating for him to sit beside him.
She didn't stand on ceremony and very naturally walked over to sit beside Murong Yue.
Long Moqing's eyes darkened involuntarily, but she heard Ye Mei's voice again," Although they have joined forces, if they really fight, I'm afraid that no country will send 10% of their forces." Of course, just this alone is enough for our army to bear.”
She paused and smiled slyly." Wouldn't it be easier if we avoided the heavy and chose the light?”
Hearing her words, everyone understood. After pondering for a moment, everyone nodded.
"You make it sound simple, but how do we know which is more important and which is lighter?”Long Mocheng spoke faintly, his cold voice sending chills down people's spines. Obviously, he thought that Ye Mei's idea was too simple and it would not be as easy as it sounded.
Ye Mei looked at him in disdain." To think that you're a Deputy General. Don't you know how to check the situation?”
" You..." Long Mocheng looked at her but was speechless.
Seeing this, Murong Yue quickly opened his mouth to smooth things over. He smiled at everyone and asked,"I wonder what everyone thinks of Mei 'er's method?”
The others naturally wouldn't question it, nodding their heads repeatedly and saying that it was a brilliant plan.
Hearing this, Ye Mei looked at Long Mocheng provocatively, making him feel angry but he couldn't do anything to her.
"In that case, let's do as Mei 'er says.”Murong Yue said as he pulled the flag out from the map and inserted it forward.
"Since they want to come, I will accept them all.”He muttered to himself. The smile on his lips looked very confident, as if those countries had already bowed their heads to him.
Ye Mei walked over and patted him on the shoulder." I wonder if Your Majesty is familiar with formations?”
"You mean that useless thing? I only know a little." Murong Yue's tone sounded very disdainful about this, as if this array was completely useless.
Hearing his tone, Ye Mei could not help but feel a trace of dissatisfaction. He glared at him before turning his gaze towards the generals at the side. Those people shook their heads in unison. Clearly, they did not place much importance on these arrays.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
