Yang Youxue brought her family, friends, ministers and their families to receive the imperial edict.
"Princess, please accept the order!" said Eunuch Hong.
"I accept your order!" Looking at Liang Junhao, Yang Youxue understood everything.
This guy actually asked the emperor to grant him a marriage. Good guy, if you don't let me live a good life, I won't be nice to you either.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Princess Xueyao, Yang Youxue, is a woman of skill and generosity, gentleness and kindness, and of outstanding character and appearance. I am greatly pleased to hear of her. Now that the Crown Prince has reached the age of twenty, it is time for him to marry, and a virtuous woman should be chosen as his match. Therefore, Princess Xueyao, who has been waiting in the boudoir for a long time, and who is a match made in heaven for the Crown Prince, is hereby betrothed to the Crown Prince as his Crown Princess. All ceremonials shall be jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Director of the Imperial Observatory, and an auspicious date shall be chosen for the wedding. I decree!"
Eunuch Hong read out the contents of the imperial edict, and the guests and ministers below stared wide-eyed. They were drinking in the future Crown Princess's residence and were friends with the future Crown Princess, so they were happy in their hearts.
Only Liang Junhao looked at Yang Youxue with trepidation in his heart. He was afraid that Yang Youxue would refuse the marriage, which was a capital crime.
He felt a little regretful now, regretting that he shouldn't have acted so impulsively, as this would bring disaster to Youxue.
Youxue, you must accept the imperial edict! As long as you accept the imperial edict, you can punish me in any way you want! Liang Junhao thought anxiously.
"Thank you, Lord!" Yang Youxue raised her hands and took the imperial edict.
Seeing that Yang Youxue didn't cause any trouble, Liang Junhao felt relieved.
Yang Youxue took the imperial edict, took it and placed it on the incense table, together with the princess's imperial edict.
"Congratulations, Princess. Congratulations, Princess, on becoming the Crown Princess!" said a minister.
"Congratulations, Princess. Congratulations, Princess, on becoming the Crown Princess!" The guests and ministers all congratulated her.
Some people were genuinely happy, while others were jealous and felt that Yang Youxue was not worthy of the prince.
The Duke of Zhenguo now regrets that if he had not refused directly that day, and if, as his wife said, he had waited until the prince married Yang Qingpei and everything was settled, he could have asked the prince to take a concubine and the princess would have had no say.
The Duke of Zhenguo regretted it so much! With this relationship with the Crown Princess, the ministers in the court would look at him differently and curry favor with him.
"Congratulations! Congratulations! Please sit down and continue eating." Yang Youxue said to the guests and ministers.
The guests and ministers took their seats and prepared to eat.
"Eunuch Hong, if you don't mind, please sit down and have a drink." Yang Youxue invited Eunuch Hong to a house-warming feast.
At this time, Bai Chen handed the purse he had just prepared to Yang Youxue. Yang Youxue took it and handed it to Eunuch Hong.
"Of course I am willing, but the emperor is still waiting for me to return and report, so I dare not delay. Please forgive me!
I must have a couple of drinks at the Crown Prince and Crown Princess's wedding." Eunuch Hong politely declined.
He took the purse and weighed it. It was heavier than the last time, and he was overjoyed. The Crown Princess was different. The reward she gave him was more than his salary. It was worth the trip.
"In this case, I dare not keep you here by force. Goodbye, eunuch!" Yang Youxue said.
After seeing off Eunuch Hong, Yang Youxue ignored the annoying people around her and went straight into the yard to greet the ministers.
Liang Junhao knew that Youxue was angry, so he didn't dare to provoke her again. He walked to the side of Prince Chun, where there was an empty seat, and prepared to sit down and have dinner with the emperor's uncle and his family.
"I beg your pardon, Your Highness. I did not know that the Crown Prince would be visiting my humble home, and I did not prepare anything special for him. I hope your Highness will forgive me.
I will entertain the Crown Prince alone another day. I apologize for today's incident. I respectfully escort the Crown Prince away!" Yang Youxue was neither humble nor arrogant, and she knew when to move forward, blatantly driving him away.
Ministers and their families: "?"
What did they hear? Will the prince silence them?
The Crown Princess actually drove the Crown Prince away. She is seeking death.
Many ministers were genuinely worried, but some female members of the family were just watching the show, watching how the Crown Princess was punished by the Crown Prince.
Prince Chun's family: "?"
The prince acted without authorization this time and angered Youxue. He really deserved it!
Everyone told him to be cautious, but he refused to believe it. Let's see how he ends up this time.
Prince Chun's family knew that the Crown Prince had asked the Emperor to grant him a marriage, and Prince Chun had advised the Crown Prince to think twice.
What did the prince say: Youxue and I are in love with each other, and now that things are natural, it is natural for us to get married.
Listen, being chased away in front of the ministers, is this considered a mutual affection and admiration? Don't slap me in the face so quickly and loudly.
Prince Chun's family looked at Liang Junhao jokingly, waiting to see what he would do.
Yang family: “?”
What's going on with Youxue? Could it be that she doesn't like the Crown Prince and doesn't want to be the Crown Princess? Is there any way they can disobey the order? The Yang family members wondered anxiously.
However, what they were thinking about was not the prince's trouble, but how to cancel the engagement safely.
If Youxue didn't want to marry the prince, they wouldn't force her. The worst that could happen was that she would be beheaded.
The Zhenguogong family: “?”
What did they hear? The princess actually dared to drive the prince away. Such an arrogant person would easily bring disaster upon herself.
Fortunately, he did not agree to marry Yang Qingpei at the beginning, otherwise, if he got involved with such a relative, he would get into trouble sooner or later.
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at Yang Youxue with a sneer, wanting to laugh at her.
It turns out she was waiting for him here, no wonder she was so obedient to receive him.
She must really dislike him, otherwise she wouldn't have disrespected him in front of so many people.
He didn't blame Youxue. This was all he deserved. He shouldn't have been so foolish as to think that he could tie her to his side with the imperial decree granting marriage, but he didn't regret doing so.
If he didn't use force, he was afraid that one day she would fall in love with another man and he would lose her completely, Liang Junhao thought bitterly.
It really fits the saying: There is no fairness in love. Whoever falls in love first loses.
