Chapter 199 Full Moon Banquet



Cai Damei gave Ye Yunniang a good talking-to and introduced her to two nannies.

These two nannies were invited by Cai Damei through the help of Tong Tiemei and Princess Yanping.

Granny Lu came from the palace and served the Empress Dowager, teaching Ye Yunniang manners and etiquette.

Granny Gu is skilled in helping women recover and maintain their health after childbirth.

"Mom~ You're so good to me." Ye Yun's mother leaned her head on Cai Damei's shoulder and said coquettishly.

A child with a mother is a treasure.

"I went to great lengths to invite this person. You'd better study hard."

Knowing that Jiang Mingzhe had become the Earl of Su Yan, Cai Damei was worried about Ye Yunniang.

Cai Damei knew Ye Yunniang's capabilities best, having raised her herself.

In order to prevent others from ridiculing or looking down on Ye Yunniang, the newly arrived countess.

Disregarding her previous promise not to have any further contact with the Bao, Tong, and Zhou families, Cai Damei went to them for help.

Ye Yunniang thought that postpartum confinement was a period of suffering. But after experiencing it under the care of the two nannies, Lu and Gu, she realized how comfortable postpartum confinement could be.

Ye Yunniang really wanted to go back to the life of postpartum confinement.

But that's impossible.

Invitations to the full moon banquet have already been sent out.

There are still 10 days until the banquet.

Ye Yunniang has a lot to learn.

Not only Ye Yunniang was to learn, but everyone else in the Jiang family was also required to learn.

Jiang Mingzhe, in particular, has even more to learn.

Knowing that Jiang Mingzhe was also having a hard time, Ye Yunniang felt a little happy.

"Seeing me in pain makes me happy."

How could Ye Yunniang possibly admit it?

"My husband, you've worked hard. Here, have a cup of tea." Ye Yunniang picked up the teapot with both hands, poured tea, and served it to him.

Throughout the entire process, Ye Yunniang moved gracefully and acted with elegance, making her a delight to behold.

Jiang Mingzhe took the teacup with one hand and pulled Ye Yunniang into his arms to sit down with the other.

"My wife, you don't need to put on airs in front of your husband."

Ye Yunniang, who had originally intended to sit up straight, saw that there were no outsiders in the room and instantly went limp, snuggling into Jiang Mingzhe's arms.

"Jiang Mingzhe, I want to go home."

Jiang Mingzhe knew that the home Ye Yunniang spoke of was their home in Jiangcheng, not the wealthy prison that was the capital.

“I have already submitted a petition to the Emperor to return to Jiangcheng.”

"Will the Emperor agree?" Ye Yunniang not only learned etiquette and manners from Granny Lu, but also learned a lot about the powerful and wealthy.

One of these rules was that heads of noble families were not allowed to leave the capital at will.

Jiang Mingzhe knew that he had already made up his mind.

It's fine as long as you're not the head of the family.

"What do you mean?" Ye Yunniang asked, puzzled. Was Jiang Mingzhe going to give up his title?

"I have petitioned the Emperor to pass the position of Earl of Suyan to my son." Jiang Mingzhe explained his plan: he could leave the capital if he was no longer an earl.

"You're going to pass it on to Pingping?"

"Round and round".

"Yuanyuan! Jiang Mingzhe, what are you doing? Yuanyuan is only a month old, and you're already making him a prince!" Ye Yunniang stepped out of Jiang Mingzhe's arms.

She couldn't understand Jiang Mingzhe's thoughts.

"Yuanyuan is so tiny, how could you bear to do this to him? Do you want him dead?"

“They’re all unwilling,” Jiang Mingzhe interrupted Ye Yunniang.

"You've already asked Pan'er and the other two."

“I spoke with them individually. Then I talked to all three of them together again.” Jiang Mingzhe sighed as he said this.

Recalling his conversation with his three sons, Jiang Mingzhe was filled with anger.

Li Pan first thanked Jiang Mingzhe for his kindness, and then politely declined.

“Father, my dream is to pass the imperial examination and become an official. Su Yanbo will shatter my dream.”

Ang Lee refused outright, saying, "I want to learn medicine from my master. Traveling all over the country would be too much for Su Yanbo to handle."

Li Ping went even further, saying, "You dare give me the position of heir to the Earl of Su Yan? I'll sell it the very next day."

Li Ping is already exhausted from managing the Yunhua Chamber of Commerce; he's now trying to create something even bigger.

Li Ping didn't want that; he just wanted to lie down comfortably.

Li Ping refused, but gave Jiang Mingzhe an idea.

“Father, you don’t only have three sons like us. You still have Yuanyuan. Forget about establishing an heir. Just go straight to the point and write to the emperor to make Yuanyuan the Earl of Suyan. Wouldn’t that be better?”

"So you submitted a memorial."

"Hmm. Those three brats, I'll make sure they don't even have a chance to regret it."

Jiang Mingzhe said it through gritted teeth.

They discarded the earldom they had risked their lives to obtain in the Yan Kingdom as if it were nothing.

Jiang Mingzhe really wanted to beat him up, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Has the Emperor agreed?"

"No."

After reading the memorial, the emperor felt that Jiang Mingzhe was too idle and wanted an official position.

With a stroke of his pen, he appointed Jiang Mingzhe as the princes' teacher, instructing them in economics.

In the emperor's words, he came from a merchant background and understood business better than others.

"We can't go back to Jiangcheng?" Ye Yunniang asked with a bitter face; she didn't want to stay in the capital.

"Seven years." This was something Jiang Mingzhe negotiated with the Emperor.

Seven years.

Pan'er and the others have grown up, and Yuanyuan has become more sensible.

They could then retire from military service and return to Jiangcheng.

Seven years was a long time; Ye Yunniang could endure it, and she was willing to accept it.

With hope in sight, Ye Yunniang no longer found the days unbearable.

He diligently followed Granny Lu to learn etiquette and manners, and became acquainted with the famous and powerful figures in the capital and the relationships between them.

Learn how to take care of yourself from Granny Gu.

To overcome her shyness, Ye Yunniang dragged Cai Damei along to learn together.

“My mother always says, ‘You’re never too old to learn.’ You can’t just talk the talk but walk the walk.”

One sentence made Cai Damei unable to say no.

After being cared for by Granny Gu, Ye Yunniang recovered her figure well, and her skin became elastic and smooth.

Ye Yunniang was satisfied, and Jiang Mingzhe couldn't put it down.

Time passed while we were learning, and then came the day of the full moon celebration.

Ye Yunniang dressed in new clothes and greeted the female relatives who had come.

Tong Tiemei, as the Princess Consort of Jing, arrived early with Zhou Yunluo.

With Tong Tiemei by her side, some people who originally wanted to give Ye Yunniang a hard time changed their minds.

They had all experienced the power of Princess Jing firsthand.

Tong Tiemei protected Ye Yunniang, and they dared not provoke her.

Ye Yunniang's face stiffened from smiling, and her calves ached.

"Everyone's almost here, let's go back inside." Tong Tiemei noticed Ye Yunniang's exhaustion.

"Very well, thank you for your guidance today, Your Highness." Ye Yunniang was extremely grateful.

"I prefer to hear you call me aunt." Ye Yunniang smiled but did not reply to Tong Tiemei's words.

If Cai Damei is willing to rekindle her old relationship with Bao Min, not to mention Ye Yunniang, everyone would be eager to do so.

Tong Tiemei also knew.

"Xiao Min had no choice."

Tong Tiemei wanted to speak up for Bao Min.

"I support whatever decision my mother makes."

Ye Yunniang promised Cai Damei that she wouldn't try to persuade her anymore, so she didn't say another word.

Just as Tong Tiemei was about to say something, someone approached.

"I'm late."
