But who is Ye Jinnian? Although he is a civil servant and is well-read in poetry and books, he is not as thin-skinned as a scholar. Sometimes he can pretend to be deaf and dumb in order to achieve his goal.
"What have you been rewarded for? Tell me about it to make your father happy."
Although the words he said about his father were a bit wrong, Ye Qingcheng didn't pay much attention and spoke without any reaction.
"Left is just something for girls."
What she said is right. Princess is not just a title for girls, and Ye Jinnian can't even get close to her.
"The eldest lady is really lucky to be able to get a marriage from the emperor to His Highness the King of War! I heard my father say that there is a miracle doctor beside His Highness the King of War..." Su Rou said something strangely.
How could Ye Qingcheng not understand what she meant, but he followed her words, "Mrs. Su is very well-informed, and Dr. Xue's medical skills are indeed excellent."
Aunt Qing was not in the mood to explain to Su Rou, so she didn't say anything and just sat there with her head raised.
Su Rou said what she needed to say, and it pierced a thorn in Ye Jinnian's heart. His budding desire to pay attention to his daughter was suppressed, so he stopped talking.
As for Aunt Yun, she always served the old lady wholeheartedly. She could tell with just one look whether the old lady wanted a drink of water or a snack, so she hurriedly stepped forward to serve her.
Ye Qingcheng, who was sitting in front of the old lady, turned into a decoration.
Ye Jinnian's appearance, Ye Sen and his wife have always been cautious in this family, not conspicuous and never involved in conflicts at home.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting quietly without talking.
Ye Qingcheng looked at such a strange atmosphere and saw Ye Liancheng's expression change several times. She had made a guess, but she didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
At this moment, outside, Butler Ye ran in, with a somewhat anxious expression on his face.
"Master, the imperial edict has arrived at the door of the house!"
If it had been before, he would have received the news a long time ago, but now that he is under lockdown, he can't go out at all, and the news is blocked. He didn't know until he got to the house.
When Ye Jinnian heard this, he stood up and said, "What imperial edict? Who is it for?"
Butler Ye wiped his sweat. It was almost dark, and the emperor actually sent an imperial edict. He was quite frightened, but when he heard that it was for the eldest lady, he was a little relieved.
No matter what happens to the eldest lady, there shouldn't be much trouble in the house. After all, the emperor will not punish or kill the eldest lady when she returns.
"Sir, this is an imperial edict for the eldest lady. The eunuch delivering the edict is waiting at the door. I have already sent people to arrange the incense table. Please hurry up and receive the edict."
Ye Jinnian turned to look at the old lady, "Mother, will you follow your son to receive the order?"
The old lady nodded, do you still need to ask? You must go!
When he saw the old lady nodding, he quickly stepped forward to help her and walked out.
Behind them, everyone cheered and followed, but the person who actually received the imperial edict walked at the back.
As soon as she exited the lobby, she saw Lu Luo and Qing Luo waiting there with red eyes.
She waved "Come here!"
The two girls quickly ran over and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Miss."
It seems that the two girls did not eat or sleep well during this period.
The circles under his eyes were as black as a panda's, and he had lost a lot of weight visible to the naked eye.
She had put a lot of effort into raising the two of them back, and it only took so long for her to lose weight again, which really made her feel distressed.
"How come you two are so thin? Didn't you eat well?"
Ye Qingcheng asked the two girls in a low voice while walking with the large army.
Luluo shook her head and whispered, "Miss, I'm worried about you. I can't sleep at night and can't eat during the day..."
But Qingluo added, "The food in Qingcheng Pavilion is all rancid, and you can't eat it..."
Ye Qingcheng couldn't believe it. "What did you say? Sour?"
Luluo didn't want to worry the young lady, so she glared at Qingluo, but Qingluo was also dissatisfied: "Sister Luluo, you are like this, you always say you have to give in, but those people can really treat us well if I give in."
No? Not at all, they will only get more and more excessive."
After Qingluo said to Luluo, she whispered to Ye Qingcheng, "It was okay at first. At least there was an edible steamed bun delivered, but slowly, the steamed buns were gone. At first, it was sour porridge. Later,
The vegetables and leaves are all leftovers, and you can’t eat the sour porridge. It’s worse than a beggar’s nest..."
Ye Qingcheng was furious after hearing this, "Does everyone in Qingcheng Pavilion have this condition? Or are you two the only ones who don't have enough to eat?"
Seeing that Qing Luo had confessed, Lu Luo could no longer hide it, so she quickly said, "Miss, everyone in our Qingcheng Pavilion is treated like this."
Ye Qingcheng knew that this would definitely be the case. She believed that her taste in judging people should not be too bad. The rough girls she chose were all decent girls bought from the hands of real grandmothers, not people around anyone.
.
"I'll prepare delicious food for you in a minute..." Ye Qingcheng looked at the two girls who were losing weight and said with distress.
Soon, when they arrived at the place where the incense table was placed, Ye Jinnian took the lead and knelt down to receive the order.
The eunuch who delivered the edict began to sing and read the imperial edict. There was a lot of praise in front of him. Then he got to the main topic.
"Therefore, I specially confer Ye Qingcheng, the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Ye, as the second-grade princess of Anping, and grant her a mansion, a hundred servants, a number of huanghuali women, a box of pearls, agate and emerald jewelry, a box of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and silk
Ten pieces of Luo silk and satin, two pieces of Guanghan gauze, and a hundred taels of gold! I admire this."
Ye Qingcheng raised her hand, and the eunuch who delivered the decree quickly placed the imperial edict in her hand.
"Anping accepts the order. Thank you very much for the emperor's reward. Long live my emperor." Ye Qingcheng kowtowed solemnly.
This is just to give her benefits, so what does it matter if she kowtows a few times?
"Princess Anping, the Queen Mother sent word to our family that the birthday cake you made is very delicious. Remember to go to Cining Palace to sit there when you have time!"
Ye Qingcheng nodded, "Got it!"
The little eunuch completed the task and said, "Prime Minister Ye, our family will leave then."
Ye Jinnian had a shocked look on his face, and he still couldn't recover. He nodded blankly, and then winked at Su Rou.
Su Rou was really stunned at this time, not that she didn't want to reward her, she was just pretending.
Before she could think of a way to deal with this bitch, she was already a second-grade princess. How could she not be shocked?
Seeing this, the old lady waved to Grandma Cui to take care of the little eunuch.
The little eunuch didn't show any politeness at all, he just took it and then quickly turned around and left with the little eunuchs who were carrying the reward.
The old lady waited until everyone had left and looked at Ye Jinnian with a straight face, "Jinnian, let Aunt Yun take care of the affairs of state!"
With one word, Su Rou, whose thoughts were drifting away, came back to her senses, and her face became filled with anger.
"Mother, the eldest lady in the palace is still alive, why do you want an aunt to preside over the wedding ceremony? Why should I stay here in the capital after this news spreads?"
Su Rou's tone was strong and cold, and she already seemed to be falling out with the old lady.
Because Ye Qingcheng became the princess just now, Ye Jinnian couldn't think at all about the matters in the mansion.
He originally thought that this daughter would be worthy of being married to His Royal Highness, the King of War, who was currently suffering from illness. There was no way she could compare to the future Crown Princess.
But he didn't expect to become the princess so easily, which caught him off guard.
