Chapter 23 The Grand Master's Mansion 1
"I won't mention the past between the prince and Min Lan, it's all over. Now, let's go and see my good granddaughter first."
Qi Sheng waved his hand and stood up and walked out of the mansion.
Outside the Duke's Mansion.
Qi Yan held Ye Chen, and the two had just got off the carriage.
Qi Sheng took Du Ying and strode out.
"Sister Yan'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I look good."
Du Ying greeted him with a smile.
"Sister-in-law is the same. It seems that my cousin's condition is stable."
Qi Yan smiled.
After the sister-in-law and sister-in-law exchanged greetings, Qi Yan then came to Qi Sheng.
"grandfather!"
Qi Yan shouted obediently.
"Good granddaughter, I'm used to living in the Prince's Mansion these days. Mrs. Wei sent an invitation to the Duke's Mansion. I asked someone to send it to the early morning. It seems that the other party has bad intentions."
Qi Sheng was concerned about his granddaughter and looked worried.
"Today is a great day. If you don't mention these, Yan'er will deal with it."
Qi Yan cleverly avoided the topic.
Seeing that Qi Yan didn't want to say much, Qi Sheng didn't know how to ask.
Then Qi Sheng looked at Ye Chen, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is used to getting along with Yan'er recently. Although Yan'er is a bit rude, she is also as careful as a silkworm. She is a good girl."
"The Duke of Qi has become more serious. During these days in Qi Yan's residence, the prince's residence is full of anger, and Qi Yan and I are very compatible."
Ye Chen replied politely.
Qi Sheng and others exchanged a few more greetings, and then the group set out from the Duke's Mansion to the mansion of Taishi Min.
...
Grand Master's Mansion.
There was a constant stream of guests coming and going, and some high-profile people came to celebrate.
Master Min was in a happy mood and was very happy about this marriage because he was more optimistic about the second prince Ye Heng ascended the throne in the future.
The glory and wealth of the Min family are just around the corner.
When Ye Chen and Dingguo Duke Qi Sheng appeared at the door of Master Min's mansion together, they immediately attracted countless gazes.
When Qi Yan took the lead in getting off the carriage, then took the initiative to hold Ye Chen's hand and reminded him to be careful when getting off the carriage, the atmosphere around him suddenly became very subtle.
"Did you see it? How could Qi Yan be so close to the prince?"
"They are husband and wife, what's wrong with being intimate?"
"Didn't you listen to the rumors? Qi Yan likes Mr. Mei Sinian!"
"I can't believe everything in the rumors during the visit!"
"Okay, now he is the Crown Princess, so there is no need to mention the past. Have you heard any news recently?"
"What news?"
"A few days ago, someone who was provoking trouble went in and out of the Prince's Mansion, and went for her."
"Ah? Are those who are provoking trouble dead?"
"With Qi Yan's domineering nature, the consequences of those who are provoking trouble are probably not much better."
"It is said that those assassins have used some means, and they all end up miserably and failed in assassination."
"It seems that those assassins are dead without corpses. They never came out again after entering the prince's mansion that night, and they didn't even see the corpse."
The gossip of these people is unintentional, and the listener is intentional.
A maid held a tray, glanced at Qi Yan's direction, and then turned around and left quickly.
Master Min frowned and said nothing.
He heard that Ye Chen and Qi Sheng came together and came out to welcome the distinguished guests, but he heard such gossip.
As soon as he saw Qi Sheng, Grand Master Min immediately greeted him, "Old Qi, welcome."
"Mr. Min, congratulations."
Qi Sheng smiled and stepped forward and fisted to congratulate him.
Master Min was also polite, "Old Qi came to my Master's Mansion, and it was my Master's Mansion that shone brightly."
When Master Min saw Prince Ye Chen, he just stood aside and his smile stopped a little, "The Prince's Palace is coming down, it's too late for the old minister to welcome him."
"The Taishi is busy, don't blame yourself."
Ye Chen's answer in a pun.
Master Min was stunned for a moment. How could he blame himself?
The prince's words were indeed not pleasant at all!
"Thank you, Prince, to be considerate."
Master Min also responded, and then invited Qi Sheng to enter the mansion.
So, the group entered the Taishi Mansion. Today, the Taishi Mansion held a wedding ceremony, with red lights and silk hangings, and was full of joy.
Min Lan sat in her boudoir, wearing a bright red wedding dress, and she sat there quietly.
Outside the house, a pretty maid walked in with an apple and handed it to Min Lan.
"Miss, you have to take the apple out, it's not something to eat."
The maid Cuizhu said softly. She hesitated for a while, and told Min Lan what she saw and heard, "Miss, I just saw Your Highness. Your Highness came with Qi Yan. They are very close. Miss, you deserve to die of this heart. Now, you can only forget Your Highness. Today is the happy day for your marriage. Your past should be cut off as soon as possible."
"Cuizhu, I can't put it down."
Min Lan's eyes were red, she cared about Ye Chen. She liked Ye Chen since she first saw him. He has treated her very well for so many years.
But I don’t know why half a year ago, my grandfather suddenly forbidden her and refused to let her go to the Grand Tutor’s Mansion again.
A few days ago, she suddenly received the news of the prince's wedding. She couldn't believe it, so she fell seriously ill on the spot. After the illness recovered, her grandfather told her that she had to marry King Rui Yeheng.
This feeling is like the world collapsed.
Her past with Ye Chen was like a beautiful dream, and after waking up, it no longer exists.
Cuizhu is a maid who has been with Min Lan since she was a child. Although the two are masters and servants, they are like sisters.
Cuizhu knew Min Lan’s discomfort.
Cuizhu stood aside, feeling sorry for Min Lan, "Miss..."
"Cuizhu, I know what you are worried about. If I marry King Rui, I will never think about the truth about Your Highness. But I really can't do it if I ask my Highness to poach you from my heart."
"Do you know Cuizhu? I feel so painful, my heart hurts!"
Min Lan covered her chest and felt a little short of breath.
At this moment, a gentle knock on the door sounded.
"who?"
Cuizhu was a little surprised. Who else would come to the lady's boudoir at this time?
"It's me, Lan'er, let's see how you prepared? The sedan chair is already waiting outside."
The voice of King Rui Ye Heng sounded outside the door.
"Miss, it's King Rui coming. Please wipe your tears quickly. I will make up your makeup immediately. Don't be discovered by King Rui."
Cuizhu became nervous.
"Cuizhu, just tell King Rui that I feel a little uncomfortable now and need a rest."
Min Lan's eyes were red and tears couldn't stop leaving behind her face.
Cui Zhu saw that Min Lan could not meet King Rui like this, and she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Lan'er, the auspicious time is coming. If you don't open the door, I will push it in."
Outside the door, Ye Heng saw that there was no response inside the house, frowned and prepared to push the door open, thinking about seeing what was going on.
If Ye Heng caught Min Lan's appearance, Ye Heng would be very upset. When Min Lan heard this in the room, she was already panicked.
