Back to the marriage proposal, helping the incompetent husband to rise to the top

Chapter 25 Rongguang Temple

After dinner, Chu Yanrong accompanied Ye Wanqing back to Jinghong Garden.

As soon as she entered the door, she smiled and said, "Bring your things here."

The nanny and several maids behind him came in, some carrying trays, some holding wooden boxes, and some holding cloth.

The sunlight shines in obliquely, red, gold, silver...all kinds of colors complement each other.

Ye Wanqing opened her mouth: "Mom, what are you doing..."

"Hasn't your marriage with An Lan been decided?" Chu Yanrong smiled: "These are for sewing your wedding dress. Take a look. If there is anything you don't like, mother will have someone change it for you."

"I like it." Ye Wanqing looked at Chu Yanrong with tears in her eyes: "As long as it is prepared by my mother, Wanqing likes it very much."

Chu Yanrong held her hand and said, "A woman only gets married once in her life, so she should dress beautifully and marry respectably. You are my daughter, and I wish I could give you the best things in the world."

Tears welled up in Ye Wanqing's eyes: "My son is unfilial. I never married Lu Jilian as you and Dad expected... Mother, have you ever been disappointed in me?"

Chu Yanrong shook her head: "No matter who you choose as your husband, I will not be disappointed in you. After all, you will be the one living with him in the future. I am just worried that you will be wronged in the future..."

Ye Wanqing lowered her head silently.

Chu Yanrong touched her head and said, "It doesn't matter. After all, mother is the eldest princess of a country. If Chu Anlan dares to treat you badly, mother will help you to destroy him! And your father, he has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and he won't let you suffer."

"Qing'er understands!" Ye Wanqing's voice was choked with sobs.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Chu Yanrong took her daughter into her arms: "In the past, I always hoped that you would be an obedient and sensible lady, and do everything according to our arrangements. Now that I think about it, it's better to be like this. Don't hide things in your heart, and say what you want directly. I am very happy and relieved..."

Chu Yanrong chatted with her for a long time.

Ye Wanqing suddenly remembered something: "Mother, the Queen Mother used to stay at Qingliang Temple for a while after the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. Is she going this year too?"

Chu Yanrong shook her head and said, "The Queen Mother is old, and she caught a cold a few days ago. The imperial physician does not recommend that she travel long distances. However, she will go to Rongguang Temple soon."

Ye Wanqing murmured: "Rongguang Temple..."

"What's wrong?" Chu Yanrong asked her.

Ye Wanqing shook her head: "It's okay, I just... want to go there too."

On the day when she had a high fever and the court doctor was helpless, Lu Qingcheng came to her in her dream to say goodbye and talked to her. After she woke up, her fever subsided.

Their fate as mother and daughter has ended. They will probably never meet again in this life or the next.

Therefore, she wanted to light a long-burning lamp for Qingcheng.

I wish Qingcheng will have parents who love and care for her in the next life, marry her sweetheart, live in love and grow old together.

……

into the night.

The Ye Mansion was brightly lit.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chu Yanrong and Ye Hongwei both went to the palace for a banquet. The mansion was deserted and there was not even a reunion dinner.

Therefore, the lanterns in the mansion were not removed and remained hanging.

Tonight our family of five reunites to make up for the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.

Ye Chenting returned home, greeted, and his eyes were red: "My son is unfilial. I have been away from home for many years and have never been able to enjoy the company of your parents."

As soon as he finished speaking, his voice choked up.

Chu Yanrong smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "I hope you come back safely..."

Ye Hongwei held her hand and looked up at Ye Chenting: "You have been studying abroad for two years, and I think you have gained a lot. Now that you are home, it is a good opportunity to teach Chenxi and your sister."

Ye Chenting nodded: "I understand, kid."

A large table was filled with various dishes, and the family of five sat around the table to have a belated Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner.

During the dinner, Ye Hongwei asked him, "Did you pay your respects to the Queen Mother when you entered the palace today?"

"Yes." Ye Chenting replied, "The Queen Mother was not feeling well, so Ting'er only stayed with her for a cup of tea."

"Okay." Ye Hongwei nodded slightly. Ye Chenting continued, "The Queen Mother said that she will stay at Rongguang Temple for a few days in two days, and asked Wanqing to go with her."

This was exactly what Ye Wanqing wanted: "Qing'er will definitely take good care of the Queen Mother."

"Oh, right." Ye Chenting put down his chopsticks. "Today I went to meet the emperor. The emperor attaches great importance to the matter of Yinxu County. He ordered the prince to go to Rongguang Temple to pray for the Buddha to bless the thousands of villagers in Yinxu to survive the natural disaster..."

Prince?

Ye Wanqing paused while drinking her soup: "Who will the prince take with him?"

Ye Chenting turned his head and glanced at her: "Lu Jilian."

The food in Ye Wanqing's mouth suddenly choked.

She didn't want to go to Rongguang Temple anymore.

At this time, Ye Chenxi, who was only busy eating, raised his head and asked, "Second brother, An Lan said that he wanted to ask the emperor to grant a marriage. Has the emperor agreed?"

Four pairs of eyes were cast on Ye Chenting.

Ye Chenting frowned: "An Lan did mention the marriage, but the emperor did not agree. I can't understand what the emperor meant. He seems not to want to hear people talk about Wan Qing's marriage."

Ye Wanqing was stunned when she heard this.

It seems that I have to do it myself.

The next day, Ye Wanqing brought Ye Chenxi to the palace to pay their respects and went straight to the Emperor's Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Emperor Fengyang gave them a seat and asked them with narrowed eyes, "How do you feel about leaving the capital this time?"

Ye Chenxi shrank his neck and said honestly: "The journey was fun, the scenery was beautiful, and Yinxu's food was delicious."

Emperor Fengyang laughed: "No wonder, I see your face is much rounder."

"Your Majesty, I'm not fat!" Ye Chenxi defended himself: "My face is round because I haven't grown up yet! My mother said that I have baby fat, I am blessed."

"Okay, okay, okay..." Emperor Fengyang was amused by him.

After laughing for a while, he looked at Ye Wanqing who was sitting quietly: "Wanqing, what about you?"

Ye Wanqing said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have seen leopards chasing wild deer on the hills, I have seen torrents and landslides devouring everything, I have seen groups of ants building bridges to cross deep ravines... The sky is high and the earth is vast, and the scenery is beautiful everywhere in the world, it is really worth seeing."

After listening to this, Emperor Fengyang took a sip of almond tea and nodded, saying, "You have good vision."

These words are very meaningful.

Ye Wanqing lowered her head.

Emperor Fengyang slowly shook the teacup in his hand and said leisurely, "Yesterday, Chu Anlan asked me for permission to marry him, and I rejected it immediately. You should have heard about this, right?"

"Qing'er heard about it." Ye Wanqing replied.

Emperor Fengyang nodded slightly and glanced at Ye Chenxi: "Gongxuan has been talking about you since the Mid-Autumn Festival. Go and talk to him."

This was a deliberate attempt to get him away.

"Okay." Ye Chenxi also knew what to do. He glanced at Ye Wanqing and said, "Your Majesty, Xi'er will come to see you another day. Sister, I'll be waiting for you in Yuwen Palace."

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, only Emperor Fengyang and Ye Wanqing were left.

Emperor Fengyang kept staring at Ye Wanqing without saying anything.

Ye Wanqing only felt a chill on her back.

Soon, Emperor Fengyang said calmly: "How long ago did you know about the Yinxu mountain collapse?"

Ye Wanqing raised her eyes and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Majesty, I had this dream after kneeling in Yangxinzhai of Chengqian Palace for several days in a row."

Yangxinzhai?
Emperor Fengyang had a complicated look on his face. "I dreamed many times that I married Lu Jilian, and that I died of depression before I was forty after marriage. Is that true?"

As expected, the emperor had spies everywhere in the palace, and no news could be hidden from him.
