Chapter 225 A Good Day for Proposing
There was an unprecedented bustle at the gate of Anyuan Marquis Mansion.
Shi Yu was dressed in a red robe, with his silver hair half-tied up with a golden crown and hanging behind his head. Coupled with his stunning appearance, he looked like a god descending from heaven, and stunned the onlookers.
The betrothal gifts were already outstanding, and sixty sets of beauties were sent as an additional gift. His Royal Highness Prince Rong also came in person to propose marriage. Not only that, he also beat drums and gongs along the way. Needless to say, everyone knew how much he valued the future princess.
As an elder sister, Wei Shiran was naturally happy that her younger sister was valued by her future husband. When she learned that Prince Rong was coming to propose marriage today and that Anyuan Marquis's Mansion did not have a hostess, she came over early in the morning to help arrange things.
I heard that there were too many people watching the excitement outside the door, so the guards of Anyuan Marquis' Mansion had to maintain order and accept the betrothal gifts from the guards of Rongwang Mansion.
When Wei Shiran saw her youngest son appearing before her, she simply grabbed a strong man and asked him to go to the front to help.
Ever since Gong Jin started learning martial arts from Wei Qingyan, whenever Wei Qingyan was in the capital, he would bring winter melon to the Anyuan Marquis Mansion before dawn every day.
I had just washed off the sweat from practicing martial arts and changed into clean clothes when I heard that the marriage proposal team from Prince Rong's Mansion had arrived. I had been wanting to go outside to take a look for a long time.
After listening to my mother's instructions, I happily went to the gate with the winter melon.
Not long after he arrived at the gate, he felt a burning gaze falling on him. He looked up and saw a luxurious carriage. He was about to ask Donggua who the carriage belonged to.
Then he heard Xiaoxiao calling him, "Brother Jin."
The little guy knew that today was a good day for his aunt, so he secretly ran out to watch the fun. However, his legs were too short and he couldn't see anything clearly, so he had to ask Gong Jin for help.
Gong Jin was already very familiar with Xiaoxiao, and felt very sorry for this little sister without a mother, so he hurried in and held her in his arms so that she could also feel the joy.
When he went to look at the carriage again, he saw that it had already left. Gong Jin didn't take it to heart and just thought that it was there to watch the fun.
Looking at the heavy betrothal gifts, Gong Jin was happy for his master. After helping to carry all the betrothal gifts into the Anyuan Marquis Mansion, he hugged Xiaoxiao and went to find Wei Qingyan, and told Wei Qingyan, who was asked by Wei Shiran to stay in the room, about the situation outside.
"Master, on your wedding day, I will give you a gift so that you can have a unique wedding, one you will never forget."
Wei Qingyan smiled secretly at his serious look and said, "Can you tell me what the gift is?"
Gong Jin shook his head. "If I tell you, it won't be a surprise anymore. This is something I racked my brains to come up with. I'm sure you'll like it."
Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes, feeling that what Gong Jin said was wrong, so she said what she was thinking, "The wedding is my uncle's."
It should be my uncle who should arrange a wedding for my aunt that she will never forget.
After being reminded by Xiaoxiao, Gong Jin also realized that what he said was wrong, and said embarrassedly, "Oh, anyway, Master will definitely like it."
Wei Qingyan couldn't bear to reject his kindness, so he smiled and patted his shoulder, "Okay, Master is looking forward to it."
While the master and disciple were talking, Shi Yu arrived.
Gong Jin smiled and called out, "Future Master." He then left the space to the engaged couple and left with a smile.
On the way, he said to Donggua, "After Prince Rong and the others return, we will go to the manor again to check on the gift I prepared for the master. We must not make any mistakes."
Donggua knew how much his master valued the things on the farm, so he nodded in agreement.
The two of them had nothing to do, so they went to the main hall to help Wei Shiran count the betrothal gifts.
There were a lot of betrothal gifts. Wei Shiran led people to count them one by one according to the gift list, and then placed them in the main hall of Anyuan Marquis Mansion.
Du Xueyi personally brought people to count the betrothal gifts, make a new list, and put them back into the box. He would take these back to Prince Rong's Mansion for the general later.
The groom and bride-to-be didn't need to worry about these things. They sat in Wei Qingyan's room. Before Wei Qingyan could ask, Shi Yu took the initiative to say, "Prince Yu went to the imperial mausoleum again the day before yesterday, but he stayed for a while before leaving.
During the days in the Taimiao, we didn't find any clues. Could it be that we guessed wrong, or was he a deception of the late emperor? "
That day, after Wei Qingyan told the emperor about her suspicions about Prince Yu, the emperor asked Feng Ruobao to investigate Prince Yu's situation over the past six years.
He had indeed built a Taoist temple in the palace since the year the previous emperor passed away, and had completely stopped interfering in the affairs of the palace, except for a few days a year when he would go to the palace.
He had indeed been to the cold palace and the slave camp, but he was a member of the royal family, and occasionally passing by these two places did not mean anything.
Wei Qingyan had no other evidence to support his suspicions about Prince Yu, other than the fact that he happened to appear at the imperial mausoleum that day. He said, "Keep watching. The late emperor has put so much thought into this scheme, he won't be content to remain hidden in the dark. He will eventually surface."
Shi Yu nodded and continued, "Prince Jing has entered the city, Su Mao stayed outside the city, and our people are keeping an eye on him."
He remembered Wei Qingyan saying that the little ghost was jealous. He had lived in Wei for so many years as a little ghost, and the little ghost must have hated him very much.
Shi Yu was worried that the little ghost would be jealous of him getting married and would have evil intentions towards Xiao Yan.
Wei Qingyan knew what he was thinking. "If he is really jealous, he will deal with you first. The manpower I gave him before is enough."
Unless that little devil uses evil magic, in that case, even if we send more secret guards to be around her, it will only be sending them to their deaths.
However, she wanted to find an opportunity to test the kid's abilities and see what he was capable of.
Thinking of this, she said to Shi Yu, "Find a way to reveal the two necessary conditions for possessing another body to Su Mao."
As soon as Shi Yu heard it, he understood what Wei Qingyan wanted to do.
Let them fight each other!
Su Mao came to the capital at the risk of being discovered by the emperor in order to resurrect his son. What was the little ghost planning by bringing Su Mao along?
No matter what he wants to plot, if Su Mao knows the two conditions for taking over another's body, there will definitely be a crack in their relationship, or even a rift between them.
Because apart from his father Su Mao, there is no male descendant in this world who is related to Su Fu by blood, and all the people who have been with Su Fu for many years, except Su Mao, have been killed by Shi Yu.
Even if there were one or two who were missed, they must be quite old and might not be able to have children. Su Mao would definitely not want his son to be resurrected into a servant.
He wanted to resurrect his son so that he could plan for great things in the future and pass on his family line. His daughters who were scattered around were not within his consideration.
In this case, he would definitely blame the little ghost for deceiving him, and even turn against the little ghost completely because there was no hope of resurrecting his son.
The two were chatting when there was a knock on the door. It was Yan Lan.
"Miss Chang, someone is coming from the palace."
The person who came was Feng Ruobao, who was here to add makeup to Wei Qingyan on the emperor's orders.
Previously, the emperor wanted to be good to his daughter, but he had to use Du Xueyi's reputation to cover it up. Today, he directly stated that he was just adding makeup to Wei Qingyan.
I don't even bother to think of the reasons. After all, Wei Qingyan's identity will be made public after the marriage. As for how the people in the capital will speculate, that's their business.
The emperor just wanted to pamper his daughter.
Wei Qingyan looked at the main hall that was packed with things and was a little worried about whether the warehouse of Prince Rong's Mansion could hold all the things.
But Feng Ruobao came over and whispered, "The master said that he would send you a dowry after the wedding."
Wei Qingyan couldn't help laughing, and felt his heart filled with fatherly love.
Therefore, that night she planned to go to the palace to thank her father the emperor in person, but on the way to the palace, she saw Donggua lying in a pool of blood.
