Chapter 78: Sacrifice at the Imperial Mausoleum
But there are also people from the Duan family, all of them are here.
As soon as he got off the carriage, countless pairs of eyes stared at Qi Yan.
Seeing Qi Yan with doubt on her face, Ye Chen whispered in her ear, "The Duan family can come to the imperial tomb to pay tribute to her mother, which was consented by the father. The news of her mother's death was sent back to the Duan family. It was her grandfather who brought her uncle into the palace and forced me to take me out of the palace to recuperate. If it weren't for the appearance of my grandfather and uncle, I would not have grown up safely in the harem."
Queen Duan’s sacrifice ceremony was much more grand than Qi Yan imagined.
In addition to the beginning, Qi Yan and Ye Chen were the first to come forward to worship, and Qi Yan chose to stay in a corner for the whole time.
Except for Ye Chen, everyone present was unfamiliar faces, and Qi Yan did not know any of them.
No one from the Duan family came to talk to Qi Yan on his own initiative.
They all knew that she was the crown princess, but chose to turn a blind eye.
Qi Yan became an optional person, but Ye Chen needed to deal with every relative of the Duan family coming forward and chatting.
Ye Chen finally pulled away and came to Qi Yan, "Why are you standing alone in the corner? Did I neglect you? Otherwise, you follow me and I can introduce you to each other."
"Your Highness, don't worry about me. My grandfather told me not to argue with Duan's family. Today is the sacrifice of my mother. Just let me stay quietly. If you don't cause trouble, you will respect my mother the greatest respect."
Qi Yan's tone was gentle, and she did not feel displeased because she was isolated by her family.
Her eyes were clear, not saying anything against her will.
Seeing that Qi Yan really didn't want to join in the fun, Ye Chen didn't force Qi Yan, "If you stay bored, you can go back to the palace to wait for me after the sacrifice ceremony."
"Okay, your highness, go and do your business."
Qi Yan replied to him with a slight smile, which made Ye Chen feel much more at ease.
The sacrifices in the imperial tomb lasted for two hours and finally ended.
Ye Chen was advised by Duan's family, saying that he would let Ye Chen go to the house for dinner no matter what.
The Duan family did not invite Qi Yan. Ye Chen was not angry with the Duan family in the imperial tomb, but there was a hint of anger in his heart. After Ye Chen greeted Qi Yan, he left with the Duan family. He had already thought that he should wake up the Duan family during the dinner.
No matter what, Qi Yan is his woman, and the crown princess whom Emperor Yan gave him marriage! Do you want to slap Emperor Yan in the face when he treats Qi Yan so coldly?
Qi Yan doesn't know what Ye Chen is thinking.
Qi Yan dragged her heavy legs and slowly returned to the Jingzhou Palace.
After standing for two hours, her feet were almost hurting.
Rongfeng coveted her face and whispered his thoughts, "The Duan family is so enthusiastic about the prince. Judging from the young, does the Duan family still want to marry the prince's legitimate daughter to the prince as a concubine?"
"You actually know this, too?"
Qi Yan was surprised. Isn’t this a royal family matter? Why did even the common people know about it?
Rong Feng smiled apologized and said, "The Crown Princess doesn't know anything. Yanjing City has already caused a lot of controversy when you got married to the Crown Prince. This Duan family's legitimate daughter is naturally known by everyone."
I see.
Qi Yan shook her head, "Don't worry about Your Highness. Emperor Yan allowed his grandfather to not allow the prince to accept a concubine for five years, then Your Highness will definitely not resist the order. As for the Duan family's legitimate daughter, if you say that Your Highness really likes her, you will not agree to marry me. The only explanation is that Your Highness has not taken a fancy to the Duan family's legitimate daughter."
"The Crown Princess is indeed smart!"
Rongfeng suddenly realized that it seemed that he was too worried.
Qi Yan chuckled, "This is not intelligence, it's just a simple common sense. You can understand it after thinking about it carefully."
Rongfeng was about to cry without tears, "..."
