The whole family went into exile when they crossed, and evacuated the Hou's mansion all the way

"Master, Princess Yuanwei is here."

Ye Lu was having a family dinner with Hu Liula, happily eating the strawberries sent by Yu Luo, when he suddenly heard the butler coming to report, and the smile on his face fell instantly.

Hu Liu, who was on the side, was also very observant. After hearing this, he stood up in a hurry and was about to leave.

"Since we have a distinguished guest coming, I won't bother Young Master Ye any more, so Young Master Ye will take his leave first."

"What are you saying goodbye to? You sit down first. I'm still preparing the New Year's gift that I asked people to prepare for Xiaoluo. When the gift is ready, you can stay in my house for one night and it won't be too late to set off tomorrow. It's so far away and the journey is tiring. , don’t you even take a breath?”

"No need, brothers have already booked a room at the inn. I won't cause any trouble to Mr. Ye. If Mr. Ye has prepared a gift for our young lady, we can come and pick it up tomorrow when we set off."

Seeing Hu Liu's insistence, Ye Lu didn't try to stay any longer.

"Okay, I will ask someone to take you to the inn later. You don't have to come in person later. The gifts will be sent directly there tomorrow."

While talking, Ye Lu had already stood up and sent Hu Liu out of the living room enthusiastically. He happened to see Xia Hou Yuanwei who had been waiting outside for a while.

When Hu Liuyi left, Yelu's face returned to its usual careless look.

"Why did the princess come here today? Aren't you supposed to enter the palace later? For today's palace banquet, as a princess, you should dress up well. Come now, don't delay the business?"

Seeing that Ye Lu didn't want to see her, Xiahou Yuanwei didn't quite understand why before, but now she knows.

"Weier specially gave the prince a gift, and it disturbed the prince."

After saying that, Xiahou Yuanwei winked at the maid behind her, and the maid hurriedly carried the tray forward and delivered it to the butler.

Looking at the several valuable things on the tray, Ye Lu raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"I didn't think carefully enough and asked the princess to give me the holiday gift first. I forgot to prepare it with the princess."

Hearing this, Xiahou Yuanwei felt uncomfortable in every possible way.

This night, he even remembered to give gifts to the goblins in the wilderness, but he didn't even worry about his fiancée?
Haha, what is she asking for?
Ever since she asked for this engagement, Ye Lu has always been like this, and he has never been interested in her.

Thinking about the upcoming wedding, Xiahou Yuanwei felt a little hesitant.

She didn't know if this twisted melon would really satisfy her if she put it into her stomach?
Or maybe, even though this melon is sweet, it can quench her thirst, but can her body really withstand the sequelae of food accumulation caused by this melon?
"Your Majesty, you don't need to be polite. Your Majesty only needs Wei'er in your heart. Besides, after the new year, you and I will get married, and we will soon be a family. Your Majesty, you don't need any of this."

Looking at the hypocritical Xiahou Yuanwei, the smile on Ye Lu's face became even wider.

"Well, what the princess said is true, so I was shameless enough to accept it first."

After saying that, Ye Lu looked at the butler beside him, "We still have to attend the palace banquet in the evening. Is everything ready?"

Upon hearing this, the butler hurriedly and respectfully reported back: "Replying to the prince, preparations are still being made for the festival. According to this time, the prince should also wash up and change into court clothes, ready to enter the palace."

Ye Lu felt very happy seeing her butler being so polite.

He looked at Xiahou Yuanwei with a smile and said, "In that case, I will not keep the princess here. The princess will also go back to the palace first and prepare to enter the palace as soon as possible."

After saying that, Ye Lu looked at the housekeeper and said, "Send the princess out of the house in person, don't neglect it."

"Yes, I understand."

Xiahou Yuanwei's words that were stuck in her throat were all blocked by Ye Lu's distant attitude. There was nothing she could do but continue to be dignified and considerate.

Who asked for all this?
When she got into the carriage, the dignity on Xiahou Yuanwei's face had long since disappeared, and the handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled.

The maid looked at her like this, her heart and eyes filled with distress.

"Princess, why are you doing this? With the prince's military exploits, even His Majesty would be a little afraid of him in Dongfeng, but you chose the most unlikely prince and asked the prince to propose marriage to His Majesty. Now."

At this point, the maid obviously couldn't talk any more.

After all, it would be too much, she is just a maid after all.

"The current Princess has brought it upon herself, right? Haha, even you, a slave, are here to laugh at me?"

Xiahou Yuanwei's eyes were empty.

Her tone of voice, which was not angry, made the maid scream in fright. She knelt down on the floor of the carriage and kowtowed several times to her!

"I know I'm wrong. I'm going to slap you. Princess, don't be angry. I'm going to slap it myself!"

Saying that, the maid hurriedly gave herself a few loud words, and tears came out of her eyes.

Xiahou Yuanwei stretched out her hand and held the maid's hand. Her empty eyes slowly focused on the maid, and her eyes gradually showed a hint of distress.

"What a little fool. How can this princess have the heart to punish you? Get up."

With that said, Xiahou Yuanwei pulled the maid up from the ground. The maid wiped the tears from her face and sat next to her, but she still couldn't hide the pain in her eyes.

"Princess, you still have a chance. You could have become the most noble woman in Dongfeng Kingdom in the future."

Hearing this, Xiahou Yuanwei just smiled bitterly.

"But I just like him and I can't let him go. When I was seven years old, when I saw him for the first time, I fell in love with him. How do you ask me to let him go?"

Xiahou Yuanwei murmured to herself, as if she was trying to convince the maid, and also as if she was trying to convince herself.

Hearing this, the maid thought for a moment, and a light shone in her eyes, "Princess, I have come up with a good idea!"

At the palace banquet of Dongfeng Kingdom, all the civil and military officials of the dynasty toasted with the Emperor of Dongfeng!
Putting down the wine glass, it was time to enter the ceremony of giving gifts to each prince.

Ye Lu always had a headache on this day every year, but this year, although he had much more money than in previous years, he was not like in previous years when he spent all his energy thinking about what gifts to give to the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

And every year, even if he puts all his efforts into it, even if he spends all his financial resources, the available gifts are always outcompeted by other princes.

This year, he is no more valuable than those precious things.

Just the fruits Yu Luo sent can make these people shut up happily!
"The Emperor, the Emperor's grandmother, and the Queen, these are three jade pillows made of warm jade from Nanshan that I specially found. I wish the Emperor a long life, the Emperor's grandmother good health, and the Queen a peace and joy."

Prince Ye Yuan presented his gift. After an introduction, all the civil and military officials in the court suddenly sighed.

"Nanshan warm jade is a precious thing. The prince is really thoughtful. He actually found three large pieces and made them into jade pillows. This is really an act of great filial piety!" (End of Chapter)
