Shangguan Lingyun looked at the people below the stage with satisfaction, and then a smile appeared on his face.
Everyone secretly looked at his expression, and after seeing the half-smile on his face, they suddenly became more alert.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Shangguan Lingyun restrained his expression and then spoke seriously.
"Since you, my dear ministers, have nothing else to say, then the marriage is settled."
"Qin Tianjian, I order you to choose an auspicious day nearby."
"I obey the order."
"Now that the marriage has been agreed upon, it is time for Prince Dayu to return."
"However, in order to maintain diplomatic relations between the two countries, it is also to escort Dayu's envoy."
"I'd like to ask, is there anyone willing to take on this escort mission?"
Although the two countries are some distance apart, some important officials in the court are very familiar with Dayu's situation.
Now that Shangguan Lingyun suggested that someone escort him, it further confirmed Dayu's chaos.
In this case, naturally no one would be willing to go and die.
When Shangguan Lingyun saw that no one answered, his face suddenly turned cold.
"How come, in my great Great Xia, there is not a single capable person willing to escort Prince Dayu back to Dayu?"
After Shangguan Lingyun finished speaking, he glanced around and everyone he saw lowered their heads.
Only Ye Rong stood up immediately when he saw Shangguan Lingyun nod to him.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to personally escort Prince Dayu back to the imperial capital."
Shangguan Lingyun originally did not plan to let the fourth son of the Ye family go, but given the current situation, he was afraid that he could only let Ye Rong try.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Lingyun's gaze fell on Ye Pengcheng and Li Zhiyuan.
The two looked at each other, then nodded to Shangguan Lingyun.
Shangguan Lingyun then smiled faintly, "Since no one else is willing to share the country's worries, then this matter will be handed over to Ye Rong."
Everyone agreed. When Master Liu, who had just been forced to retire and return home, heard that Shangguan Lingyun had actually sent Ye Rong to escort Dugu Xin, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
However, his movements were extremely fast, and everyone's attention was on the Ye family, so no one noticed.
Ye Rong knelt on the ground to accept the order and express his gratitude. The morning court session of rewarding people according to their merits ended here.
After the court was dismissed, many officials of lower positions came to Ye Pengcheng to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, Duke of Zhenguo. Congratulations, Duke of Zhenguo."
"Duke Zhenguo, the Ye family has received such a reward, shouldn't you treat us all to a banquet so that we can also share in the joy!"
Some officials have already started thinking about how to please the Ye family. Ye Pengcheng thought for a moment and then remembered Ye Chang's marriage.
"Everyone, my family has been busy with the children's weddings recently, so I won't be hosting a separate banquet to entertain you."
"However, Ye Chang's wedding to the Prime Minister's daughter is approaching soon. I hope you will do me the honor of attending the wedding banquet."
After hearing this, everyone quickly agreed, and some sharp-eyed people had already started to flatter Prime Minister Wang.
"The Prime Minister is so lucky. His eldest daughter is so capable that she has chosen a good son-in-law for him early on."
Prime Minister Wang's face was not very good, but seeing everyone's compliments, he had to greet them with a smile.
However, Master Liu did not have such a good temper. When he heard everyone complimenting the Ye family, he could not help but snort coldly.
"Hmph, a bunch of sycophants, all they know is to flatter."
Tutor Liu's voice was not loud, but the court officials were not far away and basically heard it all.
Everyone's faces turned pale and red, and it was obvious that they were very angry.
But although he retired and returned to his hometown, he was the emperor's grandfather after all, so others could only be angry but not speak out.
Ye Pengcheng was somewhat grateful to the old tutor.
Just as he finished cursing, the Ye family father and son, who had been surrounded by people, finally found a way to leave.
Ye Pengcheng didn't want to get entangled with everyone. He had to go back and tell his wife the good news.
Leaving the crowd behind, Ye Pengcheng took Ye Rong and walked out of the palace.
Even Qin Chuan and Li Zhiming, who wanted to talk to him from behind, failed to catch up.
The two looked at each other, and Li Zhiming smiled awkwardly.
"Brother Ye seems to be in a hurry to go back and tell his sister-in-law the good news."
Qin Chuan also smiled helplessly, "That must be the case."
"Brother Li, I happen to be going to the Ye family. Why don't we go together?"
Li Zhiyuan smiled and nodded, and the two of them talked as they walked, following Ye Pengcheng and his son towards the Ye family.
Ye Pengcheng walked back in a hurry, completely unaware of Qin Chuan and Li Zhiming behind him.
When he returned to the Ye family, the imperial edict of enthronement had just arrived.
Mrs. Ye took the imperial edict in disbelief, and then looked at Ye Pengcheng who had hurried over.
"Husband, is all this true?"
Ye Pengcheng smiled and nodded, "It's true, it's true, all this is thanks to Xiaoxiao."
Madam Ye sighed with emotion, "Yes, if it weren't for Xiaoxiao, who knows what our Ye family would be like now."
"But my husband, do you know why Xiaoxiao insisted on leaving?"
Ye Pengcheng shook his head. Li Jingjing happened to come over and heard their conversation. She couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Dad, Mom, you said Xiaoxiao is leaving. Where is she going?"
Mrs. Ye was so happy that she even forgot that Li Jingjing couldn't hear Ye Xiaoxiao's thoughts.
Seeing that she almost let the cat out of the bag, Mrs. Ye hurriedly tried to make amends.
But after seeing Li Jingjing, Ye Pengcheng suddenly had a strange idea.
