Chapter 393 Reunion after the Storm
The two walked out of the city gate hand in hand, and the Rong family's carriage was waiting at the gate of the imperial city.
Seeing the two people coming out, Rong Bing helped Min Jingyao get off the carriage.
"Ran Ran, Little Prince Jing'an!"
When Rong Bing saw the two of them coming out together, talking and laughing, he felt more confident and called out loudly.
But the next moment, his eyes fell on the hands held by the two, his mouth moved, but the words in his throat choked.
What is going on?
How come the two of them were dragged together when they went to the palace?
Although the two played together when Yun Ran was little, and often held hands and hugged each other, they are grown up now, right?
Seeing the expression on Rong Bing's face changing again and again, Jing Zhen thought he was worried about Yun Ran being canonized as a princess.
He spoke to comfort her, "Master Rong, please don't get excited. Father has already rescinded his order."
"That means Ranran doesn't need to be crowned as any princess?" Min Jingyao, who was standing by, grasped the key point of his words and her eyes lit up.
Ye Jingzhen nodded.
Then Yun Ran said from the side, "Grandfather, Grandmother, I'm sorry to have worried you. His Majesty not only rescinded his order, but also granted me and Brother Xiaojing a marriage."
When these words were spoken, Rong Bing and Min Jingyao were both dumbfounded.
Grant, grant marriage?
His Ranran and the little prince Jing'an?
Seeing the two men standing there with their mouths slightly open and motionless, Yun Ran walked forward and stretched out his hand and waved it in front of them.
"Grandfather, grandmother?"
"Ahem..." Rong Bing came back to his senses, but facing Ye Jingzhen's smiling face, he couldn't squeeze out a word of congratulations.
Ye Jingzhen didn't care. After handing Yun Ran over to the two of them, he said, "I will come tomorrow with eight gifts. So, I'll trouble Pavilion Master Rong and the old lady first."
After he finished speaking, he touched Yun Ran's head, curled the corners of his lips, and turned away.
Rong Bing looked at his somewhat unrestrained and complacent back, and felt that he might have suffered a huge loss this time.
Originally, it was a good thing that Ye Jingzhen could get the emperor to revoke his decision, but why did he have to sacrifice his beloved granddaughter?!
But Yun Ran himself didn't seem to care and still had a smile on his face.
"Forget it," Rong Bing said helplessly, "Let's go back first."
Min Jingyao snorted coldly: "Humph, that kid got away with it."
The three of them got on the carriage together and returned to Rong Mansion.
When I arrived at Rong Mansion, I found out that Yin Qiu, Yin Qianlan, Yun Sanlang, Yun Chengfu, and Yun Chenglu were all there and waiting in the reception room.
Yin Qiu and the others also knew the news early in the morning and were very anxious. When they learned that Rong Bing and his wife had sent Yun Ran to the palace to meet the emperor, they went to Rong Mansion to wait for news.
Now seeing Rong Bing and the other three, the two older ones looked solemn, but the youngest one looked normal, with even a hint of smile between his brows. It was a little hard to figure out what was going on.
Yin Qiu, with a stern face, asked first, "How's the situation? Is the Emperor willing to revoke his order?"
Rong Bing was still upset about having lost his grandson for no reason. When he heard him ask this, he glanced at him.
In an unhappy tone, he asked, "What was Lord Yin doing earlier? Why are you asking now?"
Yin Qiu was baffled by his criticism. He pointed at the tip of his nose and turned to ask Chen Dai: "The old man said me?"
Chen Dai stood beside him like a wooden man, without even moving his eyes, pretending that he had just been deaf.
Yin Qiu was immediately displeased: "Old Pavilion Master Rong is incapable of accompanying Ran Ran to the palace to meet the emperor and resolve the matter. He should have given this opportunity to others instead of wasting time!"
"You are capable, but you are still a wise man after the event!" Rong Bing's face also turned bad.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Yun Ran hurried out to persuade them: "Grandpa, Grandfather, both of you should stop talking. The matter has been resolved, and the emperor has already withdrawn the imperial edict."
"real?!"
Before Yin Qiu could say anything, Yun Chenglu could no longer hold back and stared at her with burning eyes.
Yun Ran nodded. "Everyone's been worried this morning. I guess you're all hungry. I'll go steam some shrimp dumplings for you."
Hearing Yun Ran say that everything was fine, Yin Qiu, Yin Qianlan, Yun Sanlang and Yun Chengfu all breathed a sigh of relief.
Just withdraw. The royal family is not in chaos enough right now, and we can’t send Ranran in again.
Seeing that everyone's expressions had relaxed, Yun Ran turned around and went out to continue making shrimp dumplings. He was interrupted in the middle to go to the palace. It was already noon at this time.
Not to mention breakfast, it’s time for lunch.
After she left, Rong Bing sighed and told her about Yun Ran's engagement with Prince Jing'an.
Then, the few people who had just breathed a sigh of relief became nervous again.
It’s not that I think Ye Jingzhen is a bad kid, it’s just that he is currently at the center of the storm being targeted by various forces in the court. He is regarded as a member of the prince’s faction and a knife to the prince Ye Jingtian.
They really didn't want to send Yun Ran to the dangerous and dangerous place of the royal family.
The living room fell silent for a moment.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Chengfu spoke first, "Anyway, this matter is now a foregone conclusion. Young Prince Jing'an has been campaigning extensively along the northwest border over the years, and he has also cultivated a number of elite troops. His strength should not be underestimated."
"Since neither he nor Ranran objected, we as family members should also support it."
"Well," Rong Bing also spoke up, "I may be old, but my thinking should never be old. I made a mistake with her parents back then, and I can't do that again now."
Everyone knew that he was talking about his youngest daughter Rong Ruoruo and her husband Duan Huaizhang, so they all tacitly kept silent so as not to bring sadness to the two old people.
"They have been playing together since they were young, so they can be considered childhood sweethearts. I trust Jingzhen," said Yin Qianlan.
Yun Sanlang also echoed: "We've been friends for so many years, I don't believe we can't overcome this little difficulty. Besides, we have your support behind the scenes."
Finally, Yin Qiu, Min Jingyao and Yun Chenglu also nodded.
As they were talking, Qingqing, the maid from the Rong Mansion, came to call them for dinner, so everyone got up and went to the dining room.
In the dining room, various exquisite and delicious dishes have been placed on the table.
There is a table full of delicious dishes including steamed transparent shrimp dumplings, raw fish congee, fresh and fragrant tofu pot, sweet and sour spare ribs, a big bowl of sweet wheat milk tea, pickled cabbage and crucian carp soup, etc.
The whole hall was suddenly filled with fragrance, which made people's mouths water.
"It's time for dinner. Grandpa and grandma followed me around early this morning. Thank you for your hard work."
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, and my older brothers have been so worried about me for a long time. I'm sure they're hungry. Let's have a good meal!"
Yun Ran smiled sweetly and served everyone a bowl of milk tea.
After leaving Ping'an Town, she cooked all kinds of special mountain and sea delicacies at Shanhailou. She hadn't made milk tea for a long time and missed the taste.
However, Yin Qianlan, Yun Sanlang, and the brothers Yun Chengfu and Yun Chenglu were filled with emotion as they drank the familiar sweet milk tea.
It seemed like the little kid who made taro balls, honey and soy milk tea for them just yesterday had grown up overnight.
