Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

After entering March, the most important event in the entire capital is the Spring Examination.

After Ye Jintang returned to the Marquis of Danyang's Mansion, he could hear people discussing the topic of the Spring Examination almost every now and then.

If she remembered correctly, Gu Wan'er's husband, who was a juren, should also come to the capital to take part in the spring examination. She didn't know how he would perform.

If he could pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, Gu Wan'er would also be able to enjoy the good life with him in the future.

The topic of the Spring Examination was being discussed everywhere in the capital, and the ladies in the inner chambers of some aristocratic families were also busy organizing various flower-viewing banquets.

Mrs. Gan took Ye Jintang, Ye Lan and Ye Zhu, who were about her age, to several flower-viewing banquets under the pretext of taking her out to see the world.

Ye Jintang had an outstanding appearance, and soon her fame in the capital grew.

Whenever people talk about the Marquis of Danyang Mansion, they will say that the Sixth Miss is so beautiful that she deserves to be the most beautiful woman in the capital.

Ye Jintang did not take these false reputations seriously. She focused all her attention on exploring the vault.

Old Madam Ye led a very regular life, and there were maids patrolling her yard at night. After a few days of investigation, she found out that there were four vaults, each with four keys.

Only one of them is used on a daily basis, and there is no way to find out where the other three are.

This greatly increased the difficulty for Ye Jintang to explore the vault. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, she did not dare to act rashly and could only proceed slowly.

After a while, the results of the spring examination were announced and Emperor Jingdi held the Qionglin Banquet.

Normally the women in the harem had nothing to do with the Qionglin Banquet, but because the selection of a concubine for the Prince of Qin had not been going smoothly, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui was really annoyed. She mentioned to Emperor Jing that she also wanted to hold a Hundred Flowers Banquet to entertain the noble ladies of the capital.

The issue of the Prince of Qin's selection of a concubine had already caused a lot of controversy, which made Emperor Jing unhappy.

Noble Consort Dehui wanted to finalize the candidate for the Princess of Qin at the Hundred Flowers Banquet and quickly disclose the matter, and Emperor Jing naturally agreed.

As a result, all the noble families received invitations from Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, asking them to bring their noble daughters to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

Gan Fu and Old Madam Ye prepared for such a long time and finally waited for the right opportunity.

In order to get Ye Jintang chosen by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, Mrs. Gan even paid out of her own pocket to give Ye Jintang a gorgeous moon-white brocade long dress.

"Mother, why do you have to go through so much trouble? Why don't you just push Ye Jintang to Imperial Noble Consort Dehui?"

"I don't even have the long dress made by Su Jin, but you want to give it to Ye Jintang."

"And I helped her become famous. Now her fame is almost surpassing mine."

Seeing Ye Yanran looking angry, Mrs. Gan hurried forward to comfort her.

"My little ancestor, I am not trying to make Ye Jintang famous. Do you think that if she was just an unknown person, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui would be interested in her?"

"The same goes for Imperial Noble Consort Dehui. She hates the King of Qin so much, but she has to act like a loving mother. It's really troublesome."

"Little Ancestor, you can only say this in your own room. When you marry into the Qi Wang Mansion, you must never say such things again. Be careful that there are ears behind the walls."

"Besides, this palace is different from the outside world. You must be careful in the palace and don't act recklessly and follow your own temper."

"Be careful of your mouth. You should stay at home to take care of your pregnancy. You should listen to Nanny Qiu more. She has lived in the palace for many years and has seen all kinds of things and all kinds of tricks. It always helps to ask for her opinion before doing anything."

"Mom, are you worrying too much? I have been following you to learn how to manage the household, and I do have some tricks. As long as the prince of Qi has his heart with me, I will not suffer any loss in the palace."

"That's what you said, but you can't go wrong if you learn more from Aunt Qiu."

Madam Gan had been in charge of the Marquis' Mansion for many years, so she naturally understood that there was a huge gap between the imperial palace, the prince's mansion, and their Marquis' Mansion.

Although Ye Yanran is somewhat smart, she is also somewhat lucky.

But if you don't live with clarity and vigilance, it's easy to fall.

As a mother, she knew her daughter best, so she went through great pains to invite Nanny Qiu to teach her.

"Mother, if it is decided that Ye Jintang will marry the King of Qin, will the King of Qin's marriage be completed immediately and not delayed any longer?"

Ye Yanran couldn't help but touch her slightly bulging belly. Some things really couldn't be rushed. The more anxious she was to marry Xiao Yi, the more troubles she encountered.

It has been delayed for so long now. If it is delayed any further, her belly will really be exposed.

"Yes, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui is more anxious than us. As long as it is decided that Ye Jintang will marry the Prince of Qin, I guess everything will be kept simple and their marriage will be completed as soon as possible."

"That's good. I really can't wait any longer."

Madam Gan personally delivered the Sujin dress to Ye Jintang, and said a lot of nice things to coax her to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet hosted by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui.

"Not everyone can attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui. You must dress up beautifully when the time comes, and don't be reluctant to wear the jewelry your grandmother gave you a few days ago."

"Thank you, auntie. I will definitely not bring shame to the Marquis' Mansion."

Ye Jintang smiled indifferently at Mrs. Gan very obediently, but thought in his heart, you guys can go ahead and do whatever you want, you will regret it one day.

It is estimated that except for the Marquis of Danyang's Mansion, no other noble family that received the invitation to the Hundred Flowers Banquet hosted by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui was happy.

None of them wanted their daughters to be chosen to marry the King of Qin as his princess.

But with the invitation from Imperial Noble Consort Dehui in hand, they had no choice but to bring their daughters to the Hundred Flowers Banquet even if they didn't want to.

So when Ye Jintang followed Madam Gan to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet, they met several noble ladies on the way. They were all dressed very unfashionably. One of them even had a matchmaker mole on the corner of her lip. Her originally pretty face instantly became somewhat ridiculous.

Everyone else was trying hard to look ugly, but Ye Jintang was the only one who dressed up very beautifully.

Mrs. Gan took Ye Jintang to talk to the ladies she was familiar with. When everyone saw her, they couldn't help but praise her, saying that the Sixth Miss was really beautiful.

When they walk away, he will cast inquiring glances at them again.

Even the ladies in the rear house didn't quite understand what Madam Gan was up to.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet began, and Imperial Noble Consort Dehui sat in the seat of honor surrounded by the crowd.

The others were seated according to their rank.

Madam Gan was sitting a little far away, but Ye Jintang was very eye-catching in her moon-white brocade dress. Noble Consort Dehui, who was sitting in the upper seat, saw Ye Jintang as soon as she sat down and looked up.

Noble Consort Dehui simply asked the female official beside her without showing any emotion.

"Dongxiang, who is the girl sitting next to Madam Gan? I have never seen her before."

"My lady, that is the sixth daughter of the Marquis of Danyang. Her father, Ye Li, was murdered last year while in office. Her family died and she is the only one left. She was brought back to the Marquis's residence just before the New Year. During the New Year, she went to the White Horse Temple to pray for Madam Ye. Naturally, my lady cannot see her."
