"Okay!" Fang Ruotang agreed without any difficulty. After all, this was something she had agreed on with Ye Wuxia beforehand, unlike the last-minute change that Prince An asked her to make. There was no difficulty at all.
However, thinking about the purpose of Prince An's visit to fetch her, she felt a little troubled and asked, "In that case, do I still need to go to your house and go with you to see the Princess?"
With Ye Wuxia's arrival, Prince An also sensed the inevitable trend, so he didn't interfere when Ye Wuxia and Fang Ruotang were talking.
Even though his plans had been disrupted, he showed no displeasure on his face, still maintaining the demeanor of a gentle young master, and affectionately patted Fang Ruotang's head with a smile.
"We've prepared lots of your favorite foods at home, and my mother has been eagerly anticipating your arrival. Aren't you going?"
"But the princess wants me to marry you, and I can't do that..."
Fang Ruotang wanted to go over for a meal, but she felt it wouldn't be right to go over and freeload if she knew what the host wanted her to do and couldn't agree to it.
“Silly, my home is your home. You can come anytime. And if you can’t do it, you can’t do it. I was the one who begged you to marry me. You’re so popular, how could I possibly get you in one go?”
As Prince An spoke, he raised his hand and tapped Fang Ruotang's nose.
These words were so sweet that Fang Ruotang was completely charmed. She grinned broadly and said, "Next, I promise you'll be next!"
Prince An raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "In that case, thank you, our little sixth sister."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Fang Ruotang waved her hand, quite satisfied with the result.
She glanced at Ye Wuxia, who was still standing by the carriage, and then turned to ask Prince An.
"Could I ask Wuxia to come with us? Otherwise, I feel that if I go to your house alone, and you talk to the Princess, I'll definitely waver again, and Wuxia will be unhappy then."
Prince An smiled helplessly.
Ye Wuxia felt a warmth in her heart, all her grievances were soothed at this moment, and without waiting for Prince An's permission, she got into the carriage directly.
Fang Ruotang sat between the two of them, glanced at each of them, and asked softly, "Can you two not be jealous and get along peacefully today?"
Prince An raised an eyebrow and pinched Fang Ruotang's fair face in an annoyed manner.
"You heartless little brat, when have we ever made a scene in front of you or caused you any trouble?"
Fang Ruotang thought about it and realized that it made sense.
Even if there are just some initial signs, as soon as she notices them or finds herself in a difficult position, they will immediately back down, never leaving her caught in the middle.
"Let's go look at houses together after we finish eating! By the way, I bought six adjacent houses, but I haven't had time to choose one yet. Would you like to go pick one out?"
Fang Ruotang recalled that although the wedding banquet was held at the Prime Minister's Mansion, they would not live there after the wedding. In fact, Ye Wuxia did not live there often. He would prefer to live with Fang Ruotang in the house she had bought.
Fang Ruotang agreed with Ye Wuxia's statement that the new house was their little home, so Ye Wuxia would go there whenever she had free time to visit and add some things.
The reason Fang Ruotang accepted this house from her grandfather was to keep a mistress in a secluded place. Now that the six men know of each other's existence, Fang Ruotang no longer needs to be so secretive. As a result, the other houses have not yet been given away.
"want!"
Prince An already knew about the house, but he only returned before the New Year and has been so busy ever since that he hasn't had a moment to spare, so he hasn't had time to deal with such trivial matters as the house.
"Alright! Let's go take a look together later. You can pick one. But I heard from my brother, the Crown Prince, that there's a high chance we'll be moving to the capital. Moving houses now seems like a waste of time and effort."
"The capital will be moved, but it won't be a short-term event."
Ye Wuxia and Prince An spoke at the same time, with similar meanings.
“That’s right! Little Mirror told me that the talisman is a bit loose, so we probably won’t be staying in the capital for long. Crown Prince also said that he doesn’t plan to ascend the throne. Currently, the princes are all studying with him, and he plans to choose one of them to take over the great responsibility.”
The Crown Prince consulted Xiao Jingzi about the opinions of several princes. They were all of good character, but each had their own shortcomings and deficiencies. The Crown Prince was somewhat dissatisfied with each of them, so he hesitated to make a decision.
After all, he had invested so much effort in the Great Yong Dynasty and didn't want to hand it over to a useless person who would ruin his ancestral legacy. But given the current fortune of this world, he couldn't possibly stay here as a human emperor.
Inside the Princess's residence.
When the eldest princess saw Ye Wuxia arrive, she already knew the outcome. She glanced at her son with disappointment, then acted as if nothing had happened and warmly greeted Fang Ruotang.
She didn't show any signs of her true intentions. Originally, she wanted to take advantage of today's banquet to get her son married off, as if she simply wanted to invite Fang Ruotang to a meal.
After a relaxed and enjoyable meal, Fang Ruotang returned home with a full stomach.
She sat in the carriage, holding the red envelope given to her by the princess, and fanned herself with it like a small fan. Beside her was an exquisite brocade box with three layers, each filled with precious jewelry.
"Should I go to the palace to pay my respects to the Emperor and Empress? Oh, it seems I don't need to. The palace rewards have already been given out. I don't need to go to the Rong Prince's residence either. On New Year's Eve, the old Prince Rong gave me a New Year's red envelope. I don't want to go to the General's residence. Neither the young prince nor Wuxia has any elders above them."
Hearing Fang Ruotang's muttered words.
Both Prince An and Ye Wuxia had smiles in their eyes.
Ye Wuxia said, "Of course there are! My older sister is here, isn't she?"
"Your older sister doesn't need to!" Fang Ruotang said with a look of resistance.
She wasn't that heartless. Although she enjoyed the little surprises of receiving gifts, she wouldn't go so far as to fleece a divorced woman.
"What? We're getting married soon. Why don't you meet her? She'll prepare a gift for you. Isn't that proper?" Ye Wuxia knew what Fang Ruotang was worried about, so she laughed and explained, "What are you afraid of? I'm here."
In his eyes, his former brother-in-law's family was destitute. When he brought his elder sister and niece back, they had nothing. But after living in Beijing for a few months, he helped them acquire a lot of property.
He was determined to follow Fang Ruotang in the future, but neither his elder sister nor his niece had the talent for cultivation. He could only plan ahead and make sure they were settled in a good manner, so that they could live well even without him in the future.
"No, no!" Fang Ruotang refused.
She just thought it was fun, but this wasn't a game that ordinary people could afford to play. She would rather go to the palace again to see the Empress and the Empress Dowager than make things difficult for the eldest sister of the Fang family.
Ye Wuxia did not insist and let Fang Ruotang have his way.
Upon arriving at the new residence, the first door was open, and a man dressed in red robes and a white fur coat stood on the platform, waving with a charming and alluring air, "Grand Preceptor, come and have some fun!"
