Yan Wan looked at Ji Mohan, who had no choice but to compromise, and for the first time showed a genuine smile, chuckling softly as if she were in a very good mood:
“Alright, Your Highness, Yan Wan’s coming-of-age ceremony is in a month. After the ceremony, let’s get married.”
"Yan Wan needs to see the imperial decree of marriage within three days. I urge Your Highness Prince Han to go to His Majesty to request the decree of marriage."
"I have troubled you for a long time. I will not disturb Your Highness and Consort Xue any longer. I will take my leave now."
After saying this, Ji Mohan remained silent, seemingly disgusted with Yan Wan to the extreme and unwilling to have anything to do with her. Yan Wan also ignored him, curtsied, and turned to leave.
Since I've already achieved my goal, staying any longer would only annoy others, so I might as well leave. I still have a year and a half to spend with him after the marriage.
After Yan Wan left, a young man emerged from the shadows of the ancestral hall, patted Ji Mohan on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "So it's this young lady who likes you. Such a well-behaved and lovely girl, liking a rough old man like you, you really have bad taste."
Ji Mohan raised his hand and slapped the hand off his shoulder, saying in a deep voice, "Get out. I don't believe she has no ulterior motives."
"Hey, you always think the worst of people. What if that girl really likes you?" the boy with a mischievous grin in his fox-like eyes retorted.
"absurd!"
"Let's go, let's make an appearance at the banquet, so that when I return, no one in the capital will know."
"You're going to see that young lady, aren't you? The whole capital probably knows you're back," the young man said, pursing his lips.
"court death."
"Hey, hey, just kidding, why are you getting angry? Well, I apologize, I'm sorry."

Yan Wan returned to the banquet, which was basically over. The emperor and empress had long since left, and the remaining ministers and women were chatting, laughing, drinking, and having fun. Presumably, Jing Xi had also achieved his wish.
Yan Wan walked towards Jing Xi, who was sitting alone in a corner. Although Jing Xi had won first place at the banquet, she was ostracized by the noble ladies of the capital. After all, who would like to beat their rival?
"Congratulations to Jingxi for winning first place and achieving your goal."
"Wan'er, you're here! Yes, from now on I can decide my own marriage. I no longer have to worry about being married off as a concubine by Jing Hong and his concubines." Jing Xi said excitedly, her face showing confidence and cheerfulness.
"I don't like delicate and frail women like you. You're not my type."
Looking at Jing Xi's smiling face, Yan Wan suddenly remembered Ji Mo Han's words and felt a sharp pain in her heart. It seemed that she still couldn't help but care.
But I can't blame Jingxi. It's not her fault. I can't resent someone just because the person I like likes someone else. Otherwise, how innocent would Jingxi be!
"By the way, Wan'er, I just saw you go out. What were you doing sneaking out?"
"I'm going to find Ji Mohan."
"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, how did it go?" Jing Xi asked with a gossipy look. Seeing Jing Xi like this, Yan Wan had no right to resent her. After all, the female lead could even give the male lead some attention ( ￣▽￣)σ.
"I guess that's what he wanted. He should be asking for an imperial decree to grant us the marriage. We'll be getting married soon, and I'll definitely invite you to our wedding banquet."
Upon hearing this, Jing Xi looked excited, gave a thumbs up, and said admiringly, "Wan'er, as expected of you, you won her over so quickly! You're a role model for us all!"
"Yes, His Highness Prince Han will soon be mine." Yan Wan smiled bitterly, but unfortunately Jing Xi had drunk some wine and was oblivious, so she didn't hear the bitterness in Yan Wan's tone at all.
