"Alright, alright, stop crying and making a fuss. Wanqing is already grown up, she knows how to act properly." At this moment, Situ Luoyun couldn't help but speak up. She had always had high hopes for Situ Wanqing and believed that she could make the right choice.
Situ Luoyun's words silenced Yuwen Tianqi for a moment. Finally, he sighed and said helplessly, "Forget it, forget it. Since you all said so, I won't insist anymore. However, when the nobles in the capital talk about our prime minister's mansion as a laughing stock, you just need to not feel ashamed..."
Three days later, on the ninth day of the fifth lunar month, in Taiping County, Yuheng Commandery, Lianxing of Junyanfang got up early and opened for business as usual.
Ye Ling'er pouted slightly, looking unhappy. "Daddy, Mom (Situ Wanqing) has been gone for over half a month. When will she come back? Could it be that she doesn't want us anymore?"
Lian Xing turned her head to look in the direction of Lengyue Kingdom, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. She wondered if something had happened to Situ Wanqing.
However, facing his daughter's question, he suppressed his inner uneasiness and said softly: "No, your mother is busy with important things. She will be back soon after she finishes her work."
After getting her father's assurance, Ye Ling'er nodded obediently.
"Who is Ye Liangchen?" At this moment, a sonorous voice came from outside the shop.
Lian Xing hurriedly took her daughter out to check, and it turned out that they were two imperial envoys.
"I wonder what brings the two ladies to Junyanfang?" Lian Xing suppressed her inner uneasiness and asked in confusion.
The imperial envoy looked suspiciously at Lian Xing and Ye Ling'er, who was in his arms, and asked with a frown, "Are you the owner of this Junyanfang—Ye Liangchen?"
"It's me. I wonder if you two ladies have any advice for me?" Lian Xing was also full of confusion in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface and answered politely.
"I am an imperial envoy. Ye Liangchen, please accept my orders immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Lian Xing hurriedly hugged Ye Ling'er and knelt down together.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor declares: There is a handsome man from the Ye family of Yuheng County, a man of virtuous character, gentle, respectful, and frugal, with a heart full of wisdom and talent... He is hereby granted marriage to the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister, the current Yuheng County Magistrate, Situ Wanqing. He will come to the capital to be married shortly. This is my decree!"
When Lian Xing heard the contents of the imperial edict, she was completely stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.
"Master Ye, please accept my order and express your gratitude!"
It was not until the imperial envoy reminded her that Lian Xing woke up from her dream. She hurriedly completed the ceremony of thanking the emperor and kowtowed, and then accepted the imperial edict.
After rewarding the two imperial envoys, Lian Xing carried Ye Ling'er back to Jun Yan Fang. Even as he sat down at the counter, his mind was still dazed, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock of the moment.
