Chapter 322: The Green Tea Bitch and the Powerful Regent (22)
Chapter 322: The Green Tea Bitch and the Powerful Regent (22)
Yan Jin's heart skipped a beat, but when he thought of his father-in-law who was about to become the regent, he felt more confident.
However, when he saw the Regent coming in, he couldn't help but shudder, and his originally straight back instantly collapsed.
Yan Jin ran over to greet him and said respectfully, "I didn't know the Regent King was here. I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar!"
Yun Jingxing waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we will be a family from now on."
Minister Yan asked anxiously, "I wonder what advice the Regent has for you this time?"
"I don't deserve your advice. I just came to discuss the wedding date with Minister Yan." Yun Jingxing said with a smile.
"What?" Minister Yan and everyone else present were stunned.
Half an hour later, Madam Yan looked at Yan Jin anxiously and complained, "Master, how could you let the Regent go to Youlan Garden to see Xiaoxue? This is so inappropriate!"
Yan Jin glanced at her impatiently and said, "How can I stop him? He's the Regent!"
"But, but this doesn't make sense."
"Sister, please don't talk about the master. He is in a difficult situation as well. We can't afford to offend the Regent." Liu Huilan advised quickly. She was also very anxious at the moment.
On the other side, Yun Jingxing looked at the girl sitting at the table drinking tea calmly, sighed and said, "Then when do you think is the right time?"
“Your Highness, the Regent, my daughter is only 14 years old and has not yet reached the age of marriage.
Generally speaking, marriage can only be discussed after a woman reaches the age of 15, and then the marriage can be completed one or two years later.
If you calculate this way, there are still three years left, so take your time and don’t rush.”
Yun Chong, who was standing outside the door, burst out laughing. Three years! Their prince is now in a hurry, and he can't wait for another three years. I'm afraid he can't wait even three months.
Yun Jingxing shook his head, "No, it's been too long, I'm already 24."
Yan Xue looked up at the man and said, "We have to follow the process, step by step.
Have you accepted the marriage proposal, asked for the name, and agreed to the marriage proposal? Wait until you have completed the three books and six ceremonies.
Although I am weak, I don't want to be a laughing stock in the capital."
Yun Jingxing heard it was so complicated, of course he didn't know these, "Okay, then let's follow the process step by step."
Yan Xue nodded and stood up, "Goodbye, Prince Regent."
Yun Jingxing: When did he say he was leaving? But he gritted his teeth and left anyway.
The Yan family has already prepared Yan Xue's update post.
But the Regent said that he would not take it today and would take it later, which made Minister Yan confused.
Isn't it necessary to take the Geng Tie to the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to match the horoscopes when arranging a marriage? Why don't you take it now?
I quickly sent Madam Liu over to ask what was going on. After a while, Madam Liu came back in a daze.
Minister Yan asked anxiously, what did the second girl say?
Madam Liu replied with a bewildered look on her face: "Xiaoxue only said that the Regent should follow the procedures step by step, and not miss any of the three books and six ceremonies."
Minister Yan was a little confused. If the marriage was granted by imperial decree, wouldn't there be no need to go through the formalities? Forget it, never mind.
What he never expected was that the next day Princess Jiahe actually came to the Yan Mansion in person with generous gifts, expressing her intention to propose to Miss Yan II on behalf of the Regent.
Minister Yan was so shocked that he was stunned and at a loss.
On the third day, Yun Jingxing brought his aunt along, saying that he came to inquire about Miss Yan's name and took away her engagement letter.
It is said that the Regent rushed to the Imperial Observatory that day and asked someone to predict whether their marriage was auspicious.
On the fourth day, the Regent arrived again with great fanfare.
This time, he brought a lucky post from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory and asked Minister Yan's family to personally review it.
The wedding date was unexpectedly set for September 20th, which was the day after Xiaoxue’s coming-of-age ceremony.
Minister Yan felt that he had been in a daze these past few days. He was confused and dazed. Apart from nodding and saying "hmm", he didn't know what to say.
Over the past few days, the Regent's series of unexpected actions have really shocked the people of the entire capital.
Why did the regent, who has always been calm and introverted, suddenly become so high-profile? However, more unexpected things are yet to come.
Only three days later, Yun Jingxing personally led dozens of boxes of betrothal gifts, walked around the capital, and came to Minister Yan's residence, which once again caused a sensation in the entire capital.
When Yan Xue heard Bao Ya describing what happened outside,
She couldn't help but wonder, "Is he sick? It took less than half an hour for him to come to our house from his Regent's Palace. He was outside for two hours before coming here."
Bao Ya also looked puzzled and agreed, "Yes, Miss, do you think there is something wrong with him?" As she spoke, she pointed to her head.
Fang Yiran, who was at the Fang Mansion, also heard the news outside and angrily threw the teacup again.
"hateful!"
Which girl doesn't admire a hero? Three years ago, the moment she saw the Regent, her heart was filled with admiration for him.
At that time, he rode a horse and walked slowly in from the city gate. His tall and heroic figure was deeply imprinted in her heart.
"I never expected that this bitch Yan Xue would get such a good deal..."
However, there are many people who have similar ideas as her.
After all, the current regent has great influence in the court and has never been married.
More importantly, he was not only handsome and powerful, but also extremely talented, which attracted countless ladies.
At the same time, in Zhang Ge Lao’s mansion.
"Mother, I don't care. Why does Yan Xue deserve this? Wasn't she just a little concubine's daughter before? How could she be worthy of His Royal Highness the Regent?"
Zhang Ying'er complained unwillingly.
"Ying'er, stop talking. The emperor's marriage is a foregone conclusion." Mrs. Zhang advised helplessly.
"I refuse to accept it. I just refuse to accept it, mother. I am already 17 years old. If I hadn't been waiting for the regent for these years, I would have been promised to someone long ago.
But now, what do you want me to do? I might as well cut off my hair and become a nun! "Zhang Ying'er became more and more excited, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Mrs. Zhang looked at her daughter distressedly, "Two years ago, your grandfather mentioned this to the regent, but the regent refused.
Now that you are 17, you can no longer let your temper take its course. "
Zhang Ying'er bit her lip, a hint of stubbornness flashed in her eyes: "No, mother, who in the entire Longyuan Kingdom is more suitable than me to be the regent? I want to ask my grandparents to make the decision for me."
Mrs. Zhang looked at her daughter and could only persuade her, "Ying'er, don't be willful. I've also inquired about the Miss Yan. She's only 14. She won't get married so soon. Maybe there's still a chance."
Zhang Ying'er rolled her eyes. Yes, that bitch is only 14. If something happens to her before marriage, doesn't she still have a chance?
