Yun Shijiu was furious after hearing this. Her face turned red, her eyes widened, and her voice became sharp with anger.
"If the Crown Prince knew how cold-blooded and heartless you are, I wonder if he would still love you as much as before? How could someone as cold-blooded and heartless as you deserve the Crown Prince's favor?"
Yun Yuan showed a disdainful smile and said lightly:
"Don't bother Nineteenth Sister with worrying about that. I don't like others telling me what to do. As for whether the eldest prince will continue to like me, that's a matter between us and has nothing to do with others."
After saying this, she drew an elegant arc with her right hand.
"see a visitor out."
Standing by were two maids newly sent by Earl Wenchang. Seeing this, they immediately stepped forward, one of them grabbed one of Yun Shijiu's arms, and half-forced her out the door.
Yun Shijiu struggled, but her strength was far less than that of the two maids who were used to doing the work, so she could only be pushed out of the room step by step by them.
Yun Shijiu said angrily, "Don't be so proud. What's the use of being pretty? The Wenchang Marquis's Mansion is declining. His Majesty will definitely not let you become the eldest prince's principal wife or concubine. You will only be a concubine, a toy. No matter how bad my marriage is, I will still be the principal wife."
Yun Yuan remained unmoved and nodded seriously.
"Nineteenth sister is absolutely right. Even if I marry the eldest prince, it doesn't matter. I can't compare to Nineteenth sister who will become a grandmother effortlessly after getting married. She will have five or six grown-up sons and more than a dozen grandchildren, and her generation will rise three generations at once. I can't compare to that."
"You, you!" Yun Shijiu was furious. "Just wait, who knows who will laugh at whom in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, the butler came hurriedly. He quickly glanced at Yun Shijiu and the two maids who were holding her, then bowed respectfully to Yun Yuan.
"Miss Seventeen, the eldest prince has arrived in person with an imperial edict. Please proceed to the front courtyard to receive it."
Yun Shijiu's expression froze, and he stared at the butler, asking, "Is the imperial edict for Yun Yuan?"
"Of course." The butler nodded slightly. "Everyone in the mansion needs to go to the front yard to receive the order. Miss Nineteen, you should come with us."
Yun Shijiu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. It was absolutely impossible for a concubine to be able to make the emperor issue an edict, not to mention that the edict was announced by the eldest prince himself.
She sat down on the ground, muttering to herself: "Impossible, impossible..."
Yun Yuan watched coldly: "Throw her out, and don't let her in again."
"yes!"
The two maids were quite strong and they really threw Yun Shijiu out as soon as they said they would. Yun Shijiu fell in a mess at the gate of the yard. Yun Yuan didn't even look at her and walked away.
In the front hall, the incense table has been set up.
The eldest prince sat at the top, sipping tea leisurely, while Wenchangbo sat somewhat uncomfortably on the left seat, glancing towards the door from time to time.
Seeing that Yun Yuan was still not here, Wenchangbo finally couldn't contain his anxiety and planned to send someone to urge her, but was stopped by the eldest prince.
"Don't worry, Your Highness has plenty of time to wait. Just let Seventeen prepare well."
Wen Renyan spoke calmly, but Wenchangbo was still feeling uneasy. "Your Highness is magnanimous and magnanimous. You are truly a role model for me."
He secretly prayed that Yun Yuan could arrive as soon as possible. It was not easy for him to be favored by the eldest prince. If he disliked him because of such a trivial matter, it would be a great loss for the Earl's Mansion.
Tao and other people in the mansion waited on the side. Excluding the married ladies, there were dozens of people standing together.
When they heard that the imperial edict was for Yun Shiqi, they were all envious.
Yun Shijiu also came, standing at the end with a pale face, listening to the sisters next to him whispering.
"Have you heard what happened this morning? His Royal Highness the First Prince wants to ask for permission to marry Seventeenth Sister."
"I heard that the eldest prince was really quick. I guess His Majesty gave her a concubine."
"What if she's the queen..."
Finally Yun Yuan came.
She didn't dress up deliberately, but the sky-blue dress seemed to be tailor-made for her, elegant and light.
The belt was tied gently, perfectly outlining her slender waist, plump breasts, and graceful and graceful figure.
Her face is charming and beautiful, and her rosy lips are as gorgeous as blooming peach blossoms.
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, and time seemed to stop at this moment.
Tao was stunned. How could Seventeen be so beautiful?
The most surprised person was Earl Wenchang. He went there too late last time and didn't see Yun Yuan's face behind the fence. After being surprised, he was ecstatic. With such an outstanding-looking daughter, why would he worry about not being able to win the heart of the eldest prince?
He secretly looked at Wenren Yan, and sure enough, there was a smile on Wenren Yan's lips, and his gaze at Yun Yuan was passionate and deep, mixed with unspeakable love.
Wenchangbo's eyes narrowed into slits as if he saw himself getting promoted and getting rich.
"Miss Yun Shiqi, please accept my order!"
Yun Yuan knelt down slowly, her movements graceful and dignified, her skirt spreading out like a flower. The other people in the Wenchang Marquis' Mansion also knelt down.
Wenren Ji personally announced the decree.
"The Emperor, by the grace of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: The seventeenth young lady of the Wenchang Marquis's mansion is beautiful and intelligent, gracious and gentle, a true model of the boudoir!"
When he was in Yanzhou, he cared about the people and devoted all his efforts to assisting local officials in controlling floods and comforting the victims. He made outstanding achievements and was deeply loved by the people.
I am deeply pleased with such a righteous act, so I specially confer the title of Princess Renhui on her and bestow upon her a thousand taels of gold and a hundred pieces of brocade as a reward.
Announce it to the whole world so that everyone can hear it."
After one imperial edict was announced, Wen Renji opened another one.
"In accordance with the will of Heaven, I have received this command. Princess Renhui is virtuous, prudent, diligent, docile, knowledgeable, and well-mannered, and she has won my heart. Now, the eldest prince of the Emperor... ...I hereby betroth Princess Renhui to him as his imperial consort. All ceremonial arrangements will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory. An auspicious date will be chosen for the wedding. I decree this!"
