The crowd was shocked, excited, and thrilled.
If Da Yuan also obtained this seed, wouldn't he no longer have to suffer from hunger and would even have surplus food?
But he quickly realized that this was a gift for Ye Zhen, meaning that whether or not to give it to Da Yuan was entirely up to Ye Zhen.
Someone cleverly remarked, "The Crown Princess will be the future Empress, and she certainly won't let her people go hungry."
The others understood what he meant and chimed in, “Yes, Princess Zhaoning has the demeanor of an empress and would never bear to see us common people starve.”
The news quickly reached the palace.
The emperor was also shocked that countries from all over the world had come to send gifts, and the gifts were valuable and all of them were for Ye Zhen's benefit.
Having sailors familiar with the seas is beneficial for maritime trade, and rice seeds are even more precious. This is not just adding decorations, it gives Ye Zhen more confidence.
He suddenly remembered what Ye Jinghong had said that day: if she did not return to Dayuan to defend against the Canglang, Ye Zhen would be the precious darling of Dawei, pampered and spoiled.
The emperor truly understood at that moment.
He immediately drafted an imperial edict, in accordance with the will of the people, stating that the Crown Prince would abdicate upon the resumption of work after the New Year.
The imperial edict was read aloud in front of the general's mansion, once again stirring up the crowd.
The crown prince became emperor, and the crown princess became empress. The empress had the responsibility of bringing prosperity to the country. Everyone seemed to see a bright future, and laughter echoed into the gatehouse.
The queen's eyes were bloodshot with jealousy.
Why should the emperor's position be given to the crown prince and Ye Zhen without her consent? She helped them fight for it.
She also angrily denounced the emperor as a hopeless case, saying that while he was still alive, Ye Zhen and her family were inciting the people to make him abdicate, which she called treason and that he should be killed, not just an incompetent announcement of abdication.
But she couldn't bring herself to yell; she could only suppress the pain in her chest.
Meanwhile, the announcement outside the door continued: "His Majesty Dongwu personally came to congratulate Princess Yezhen on her wedding, and the dowry was carried in sixty-four loads."
Huo Zhan arrived again, and as soon as he arrived, he couldn't wait to go to the mansion. He wanted to see Jiu Niang.
In the backyard, the Empress Dowager of Great Wei, who is also Ye Zhen's aunt, was doing her hair and makeup, while Xiao Yu'er watched like a fangirl.
She chattered on and on, "Sister Zhen, you are so beautiful. You don't know, after you left, I have been looking forward to your marriage every day, so that I can see you sooner."
Fortunately, a little over a month ago, our ancestors sent a message to the family, asking us to prepare a dowry for you, otherwise I would have been waiting anxiously.
Sister, look at me, haven't I lost weight? It's all because I've been missing you.
The Thirteenth Madam chuckled at her daughter, "Are you sure you don't just want to come out and have fun?"
After her mother thwarted her plan, Xiaoyuer clung to her mother's arm and whined, "Mom, playing is secondary; the main thing is missing Sister Zhen."
The child's words amused everyone.
Amidst the laughter, Huo Zhan's voice rang out, "My darling, your grandmaster wishes you a happy marriage. Could you please call out to your master for me?"
Ye Zhen, “…”
Every time Huo Zhan called her that, she seemed to smell a hint of jealousy.
She looked at Yin Jiuniang and said, "Master, you can go ahead and do your work."
Otherwise, Huo Zhan, that uncouth fellow, might barge in.
Knowing Huo Zhan's temperament well, Yin Jiuniang didn't delay, got up and left the room, though her face felt a little hot.
This person only went back a short while ago, and he's already back. Doesn't Dongwu know how to govern?
Huo Zhan didn't care about anything else. When he saw her, his eyes lit up with a smile, and he grabbed Jiu Niang's hand. "Madam, I'm so glad to see you! You have no idea how many horses I died on the way here..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yin Jiuniang covered his mouth and glared at him, "Today is Zhen'er's big day, you are not allowed to say that word."
Huo Zhan, "..."
There are no such formalities; as long as I can be intimate with Jiu Niang, nothing else matters.
If you don't want me to talk about it, then I won't.
With a strong tug, he pulled the person onto the roof and went back to his own home to pour out his heart.
When Ye Jinghong arrived after hearing the news, he only saw a blur.
She gritted her teeth, "If that scoundrel dares to mess with Jiu Niang again, I'll teach him a lesson."
They had clashed many times in the past, settling old and new scores together.
Shi Yan narrowed his eyes. "Today is my daughter's wedding. Let's put everything else aside for now."
Huo Zhan needs to take Jiu Niang away. Jing Hong devotes more energy to Jiu Niang than to him, and she also has to worry about her daughter and son-in-law. He's almost feeling suffocated.
Ye Jinghong had no idea what he was thinking, and pulled him back to the front yard to greet the guests.
Then another announcement rang out: "The Prince of Dingyuan's Mansion congratulates Princess Zhaoning on her wedding, with eighteen loads of dowry added."
Helian Qing and Cai Yueya arrived.
The two of them had already met Ye Jinghong and his group before rushing towards the backyard.
Helian Qing is now dressed entirely in men's clothing. When the Prince of Dingyuan learned that the troubles of his descendants were all caused by Li Heng and his steward, he no longer believed the nonsense about wearing women's clothing to cover up the truth and allowed his grandson to return to normal attire.
The young man, dressed in festive bright red, with handsome features, pouted with some dissatisfaction, "You were originally my wife, but he stole you away. I don't care, I'm going to wear red today too, and steal his thunder."
Ye indulged him, saying, "Alright, let's steal his thunder."
Thinking to himself, Xie Azhao must look very beautiful today, Ye Zhen was somewhat looking forward to it.
After exchanging a few more words with them, they heard an announcement from outside again: "The Hall of Merit and Virtue congratulates the great-grandson Ye Zhen on his wedding, with 108 loads of dowry added."
Ye Zhen was overjoyed, "The ancestors have arrived..."
