Yang Mansion's Birthday Celebration, Zhu Li Meets Yang Family's Daughter Again
Today, the Yang Residence was bustling with people.
From a distance, one could see the endless stream of dignitaries who came to congratulate him, which also showed Yang Qi's connections and prestige in the imperial court.
Two servants and the butler of the Yang Residence were welcoming the guests at the entrance. The scene was very lively.
"Vice Minister Zhao of the Ministry of War has arrived!"
"The head of the Ministry of War, Lord Hu, has arrived!"
"Bureau of Military Personnel…"
Just as Zhu Li and his group of three were about to arrive at the gate of the Yang Mansion, a group of six or seven people stopped at the gate.
The plump butler of the Yang Residence hurriedly came forward and greeted the officials who had dismounted one by one with a smile.
"Did the Ministry of War come in a group?"
Zhu Li was slightly stunned.
"Your Highness doesn't know. This group of people were basically the people of Huaixi's nobility. The real Huaixi nobility would naturally not be present. At most, they would send someone to send some gifts over, which was already very respectful. However, the subordinates still had to make the scene look good.”
Little Bean quickly explained.
Zhu Li nodded in agreement.
Noble figures like Lan Yu and Chang Sheng naturally wouldn't come personally to congratulate Yang Qi. To put it bluntly, Yang Qi wasn't qualified enough.
Moreover, those Huaixi nobles rarely had any dealings with the Ministry of Rites.
It could be said that among the six departments, the Ministers of Rites and Works had the lowest status. The remaining Ministers of War, Personnel, Justice, and Revenue were all higher than these two departments.
This was also due to the limitations of the department's authority.
To put it bluntly, it was above benefits.
I only want to befriend you because I need you. Otherwise, no matter how high your position is, I don't care to talk to you!
"The officialdom is so realistic."
Zhu Li, who had seen through this, laughed.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the Yang Residence.
"The Han King has arrived!"
Little Bean cleared her throat and immediately shouted into the manor.
Hearing this, everyone at the entrance of the Yang Mansion looked at Zhu Li. Those who knew the rules quickly came forward and bowed.
Regardless of Zhu Li's previous reputation, he was still a prince, so he had to follow the rules.
Otherwise, just the impeachment from the Ministry of Rites would be enough to make you suffer.
Moreover, this was the main entrance of the Minister of Rites 'residence!
The butler of the Yang family hurriedly let the servant go in to report, and then greeted him with a smile.
This Han King was not only a prince, but also the future son-in-law of the Yang family. It did not matter if others were not polite, but as a servant of the Yang family, he had to curry favor with those who should be fawned on.
"Everyone, there's no need to be so polite. This king is also here today to congratulate Lord Yang on his birthday.”
Zhu Li waved his hand at the crowd. To be honest, he didn't like this kind of formality, at least he didn't like this kind of hypocritical form.
This was because he could not see any respect in the eyes of the people present. They were more scrutinizing and curious.
At this moment, Yang Qi came out of the mansion with many people.
It would be fine for ordinary small officials to greet them. For him, a dignified minister, to personally come out to welcome them, he had to be at least a minister.
As for Zhu Li, the King of Han, Yang Qi had to show up and greet him personally to show his courtesy.
"I am Yang Qi, paying my respects to the Han King Qian Sui!”
Since they weren't officially married yet, Yang Qi didn't dare to act like a father-in-law in front of Zhu Li and still treated himself as a subject.
"Lord Yang, please forgive me. Have the congratulatory gifts and betrothal gifts sent by Imperial Father been delivered to the residence?”
Zhu Li got off his horse, held Yang Qi's arm, and asked with a smile.
"Replying to the Han King, the things have already been delivered. They are in the inner court. King of Han, please come in!"
Yang Qi replied, then invited Zhu Li into the Yang Mansion.
"Didn't they say that there was something wrong with the Han King's brain and that he was often crazy? Now, he looked fine, just like an ordinary person.”
"Who knows? It's probably just a rumor.”
"It might not be groundless. Perhaps the Han King's madness can't be cured!”
“……”
After Zhu Li entered the Yang Mansion, the crowd outside the mansion couldn't help but whisper to each other.
In fact, not only these people, but even Yang Qi was also looking at this future son-in-law beside him.
Whether it was last night or now, this future son-in-law gave him the feeling that he was too normal. He didn't look crazy at all, which made Yang Qi feel relieved and surprised at the same time.
Could it be that the rumors were wrong?
From the entrance of the mansion to the Yang family's courtyard, the Yang family members and guests present all stuck their heads out and stretched their necks to see the true appearance of the Han King.
Especially the Yang family servants, their faces were filled with curiosity.
One had to know that this Han King was the future husband of the Yang Family's Second Young Lady, and it was even the Emperor himself who personally bestowed the marriage!
While everyone was sizing up Zhu Li, Zhu Li's eyes were also constantly scanning the crowd.
Soon, he saw a young girl standing with a group of young men and women by a lotus pond in the distance. Who else could it be but Yang Shiyu?
Today, Yang Shiyu was wearing a light purple long dress, which made her look even more elegant and ladylike. She was chatting happily with the children of several other dignitaries.
Yang Shiyu seemed to have noticed Zhu Li's gaze and also looked in his direction.
Zhu Li just smiled and nodded as a greeting before following Yang Qi into the mansion.
"Is that the King of Han?"
"He also looks like a talented person. I wonder if the rumors that he has madness are true?”
"It must be fake. Does this Han King look like a madman?”
"If he really was crazy, he wouldn't have appeared in public.”
“……”
Everyone looked at Zhu Li's disappearing back and could not help but discuss.
Was it fake?
The rumors were really unbelievable!
Yang Shiyu listened to the discussions around her and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
When she saw Zhu Li last night, she felt that this Han King was a little special, but he was definitely not a lunatic.
Now that she heard everyone say so, she was naturally very happy.
After all, no one wanted their husband to be a lunatic with a brain problem, and she was the same.
"Shiyu, is that the Han King? You, the future Lord Prefect, are here. Why don't you go and greet him personally? You met in the palace last night. Tell me the truth. How did it feel?”
At this moment, a delicate voice sounded in Yang Shiyu's ears. The tone was 30% teasing and 70% curious.
"You little girl, I've only met the Han King twice, how could I have any feelings? Besides, they weren't even married yet. What husband? Only you know how to tease me!"
Yang Shiyu turned her head and saw Li Cai 'er, the daughter of Huaixi's noble Li Feng, staring at her without blinking. She couldn't help but blushing.
The two women had a good relationship in private, but they did not expect their good friend to tease them about Zhu Li. They wished they could find a hole to hide in.
