Chapter 341 Wedding Farce
Ji Xuan took the imperial edict and went to find Yue Chen. She was right. When she arrived at Yue Chen's house, Yue Chen was being punished by his mother by kneeling.
She walked into the courtyard and saw Yuechen kneeling on the ground with a wronged look on his face, while his mother stood aside scolding him.
Ji Xuan cleared her throat and announced loudly, "The imperial edict has arrived!"
Yuechen and his mother immediately stopped what they were doing and knelt down to receive the imperial decree.
Ji Xuan unfolded the imperial edict and pretended to read it aloud: "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Yue Chen is handsome and intelligent, and is hereby granted the privilege of being married to the Prince. May the two of them live in harmony and enjoy a wonderful life together. This is the imperial decree!"
Upon hearing this, Yuechen's mother was taken aback at first, then a smile blossomed on her face, and she quickly expressed her gratitude.
Yue Chen looked up at Ji Xuan with a surprised expression, his eyes filled with joy. He thought His Majesty would not agree to this.
Ji Xuan winked mischievously and reached out to pull Yue Chen up.
Yuechen's mother hurriedly invited Ji Xuan into the house, pouring tea and offering snacks.
"Editor Han, there's no need to be so polite!"
"Yes, Your Highness. But what about you and my son?" Yuechen's mother had no idea when her son had gotten involved with the prince.
"Yuechen and I are deeply in love, and His Majesty has already bestowed a marriage upon me, making Yuechen my royal consort. Yuechen's recent departure from home was to search for me in Jiangnan, and I hope Editor Han will not blame him!" Ji Xuan explained.
"Your Highness is too kind. I just don't know who Your Highness's husband is?" Editor Han was extremely excited when he heard Ji Xuan say this.
She always knew her son was exceptionally handsome, but she never considered letting him try to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy. Her official rank was too low, and her son was married too well; she simply couldn't protect him.
She just didn't expect that Yuechen and the prince would fall in love, which is a good thing, but she is still a little worried that her child will be bullied by others.
"My principal husband? I apologize for not being clear earlier. When I proposed to His Majesty, I was marrying Yue Chen as my principal husband! He is the only one!"
"What!" Yuechen's mother was truly surprised. She knew that the Crown Princess had already chosen her husband, the son of the Grand Tutor, and then she heard that the son of the Left Prime Minister was also going to be her concubine.
Now that the prince has said he will only marry Yuechen, even Yuechen's mother is a little jealous of Yuechen's good luck.
Yuechen, who was listening nearby, was already moved to tears.
"Your Highness!" How could Yue Chen be so highly regarded by Your Highness?
Yuechen was both happy and anxious.
Yuechen's mother recovered her senses, her eyes filled with excitement and gratitude. "It is my son's good fortune that the prince values him so much. I just don't know when the wedding can be held?"
Ji Xuan smiled and said, "The sooner the better, I can't wait to spend my life with Yue Chen."
Yuechen blushed and lowered her head shyly.
While Ji Xuan and Yue Chen's mother were having a pleasant conversation, the Crown Princess returned to her residence, much to A Jing's delight.
"Ah Yu! You're so good to me!"
Ah Jing was so moved that she almost cried, not expecting that the Crown Princess would actually ask for a title for her!
"Okay, stop crying. Didn't I tell you that you're very important to me too?"
The Crown Princess would never tell him that she only asked for the marriage because Ji Xuan had asked for it.
When Ziyun Langjun heard these two pieces of news, his jealousy of Yuechen twisted his face, and then he flew into a rage. Not only did the Crown Princess bring back a commoner, but she even asked His Majesty to let him be her concubine.
His father was the Left Chancellor, but his position was not as high as that of the Grand Tutor. That's why he became the Crown Princess's concubine. How could a commoner like him be on the same level?
"Alright, it's done now, just accept it! What are you afraid of? With your skills, once you get to the Crown Princess's residence, will he still be in charge?" Ziyun's mother comforted her son.
Ziyun suppressed his anger. His mother was right. They were from the same village. Why should he fight against him?
Soon the day arrived for the Crown Princess to marry two concubines. The Crown Princess was happy because she was going to marry two concubines at once.
Ziyun was not satisfied. He thought that when he married the Crown Princess, he would be carried in a grand sedan chair and enter the Crown Princess's residence in a grand manner.
To everyone's surprise, the Crown Princess said that this was against etiquette and insisted on cutting the regulations in half. The lively scene that Ziyun had imagined, where everyone looked at him with envy, did not happen.
Instead, the onlookers were all discussing the Crown Princess's two concubines.
"I heard that one of these two concubines is a commoner who was made a concubine because he saved the Crown Princess, while the other is the son of the Left Prime Minister!"
"Oh my, this commoner is so lucky!"
"You bet! Hey, tell me, which of these two is prettier?"
"That must be the young master of the Left Prime Minister's family! He's raised in a wealthy family, how could he not be handsome?"
"Not necessarily. I think it might be that commoner. Otherwise, why would the Crown Princess be willing to marry a commoner?"
"That's true!"
Ziyun listened to the discussions outside, and the handkerchief she was wearing inside the sedan chair was almost torn to shreds.
That lowly commoner doesn't even deserve to be compared to him!
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Crown Princess's residence, thanks to His Majesty's grace, they were all allowed to enter through the main gate this time.
But then the question arises: who goes in first?
"Get in first!" Ziyun gave the order from inside the sedan chair.
Those accompanying him dared not disobey his orders and carried Ziyun into the mansion.
At this moment, the steward of the Crown Princess's residence came out of the mansion. He glanced at Ziyun's sedan chair, then at Ajing's sedan chair on the other side, and said unhurriedly, "Young Master Ziyun, according to the rules, since the two young masters are entering the mansion together today, they should be arranged according to their age. Young Master Ajing is one year older than you, so he should go first."
Upon hearing this, Ziyun was so angry that he almost overturned the sedan chair. He shouted, "My father is the Left Prime Minister. How dare a commoner like him stand in front of me?"
The steward sneered, "Young Master Ziyun, don't forget, this is the Crown Princess's residence. It's all about rules, not who has the highest official rank."
What a joke! A mere concubine dares to dream of living in the Crown Princess's residence? The Crown Princess's husband hasn't even entered the door yet.
Just as Ziyun was about to lash out, he heard Ajing say from inside the sedan chair, "Young Master Ziyun, I have no intention of fighting over it. Please go first."
Ziyun snorted coldly and smugly had the sedan chair carried into the Crown Princess's residence.
Ah Jing then entered the mansion, and everyone's eyes darted back and forth between the two of them.
Inside the mansion, the Crown Princess was waiting to welcome her two concubines. Upon hearing the steward's report, the Crown Princess felt somewhat displeased with Ziyun.
She only refrained from acting out because it was her big day.
She was even more satisfied with A-Jing in her heart. He was sensible and understanding. She hadn't misjudged her little A-Jing after all.
However, when evening came, the Crown Princess still went to Ziyun's place first. Even though she was unhappy about what happened during the day, she still had to consider the status of Ziyun's mother.
When Ziyun learned that the Crown Princess had come to his residence first, he was naturally delighted.
That night, he used every trick in the book to try and win the Crown Princess's heart.
