"Why are all the people gathered here?"

Everyone looked at the newcomer and knelt down to salute, "Long live the emperor."

"My dear ministers, please don't be polite. I just came here on a whim to attend the engagement banquet of my two children. Haha." Emperor Zhao entered the palace.

Everyone got up from the ground.

"The emperor is here too." Ye Ziyu said.

"This marriage was originally what the emperor wanted to arrange, although the two families announced the exchange of marriage certificates before the imperial decree was issued to grant the marriage." Fang Jingxiu said.

"Who is this? Why are you blocking this door? Are you dissatisfied with this marriage?" asked Emperor Zhao.

"I, Lin Yun, am here to congratulate Miss Ye on her marriage. By the way..."

"Since it's a celebration, then just register the ritual book and then go in for the feast. Why are you blocking here? Is it because there are too many things and Lord Ling's house doesn't have enough staff to move them? That's easy. I've brought people. Come on." Emperor Zhao didn't even wait for Lin Yun to finish his words. He asked someone to come in and move all the things aside, and then went to talk to Grand Tutor Ling and General Ye.

Madam Ling and Jiang Xu glanced at each other, ignored Lin Yun, and continued to entertain the other ladies.

"Pfft..." Ye Ziyu looked at Lin Yun with an extremely ugly expression, "Hey, that's not right, you knew that the emperor would come?" Ye Ziyu looked at Fang Jingxiu.

"Well, I went to the palace in the morning to report some things to the emperor, and then when I was leaving, I heard the emperor say that he would come to attend the engagement banquet."

"I didn't expect the Emperor to attend in person. I thought he would just give me a reward at most."

"Okay, you can go back now." Fang Jingxiu said to Ye Ziyu, "The seats in the front are for men. It's not appropriate for a girl like you to be in the front hall."

"Oh, then I'm leaving."

"You are such a person. After all, I indirectly helped you solve a difficult problem, but you didn't even say thank you."

“??? Did you solve this? This was solved by the emperor. If anyone should be thanked, it should be the emperor.” After saying this, Ye Ziyu walked towards the backyard.

Ye Ziyu returned along the same route and saw Liqiu and Lixia lying on the lawn.

"You stupid liar! You said someone is watching you. Where is that person?" Ye Ziyu squatted down and shook Liqiu and Lixia.

Mo Yu and Mo Liang on the tree looked at each other. They had been watching the two of them from below, but when they heard Ye Ziyu's footsteps, they hurriedly flew back to the tree.

"Beginning of Autumn, Beginning of Summer, wake up."

The two were shaken awake. "Miss, Miss was...Mmmmm." Li Qiu woke up and her mouth was covered before she could finish her words.

"Your young lady is fine and is here peacefully. If you speak louder, everyone will know." Ye Ziyu said.

Li Qiu saw that Ye Ziyu in front of him was safe and sound, nodded, and Ye Ziyu let go of his hand.

"Miss, who just pulled you away? Are you okay?"

"It's okay. It was... dragged away by a dog."

"Ah? A dog? No, I clearly saw a person."

"Hurry up and get up. Sister must be waiting anxiously." Ye Ziyu stood up, and Liqiu and Lixia quickly got up and patted the grass off their bodies.

Ye Qingyin was waiting anxiously in the backyard. Seeing Ye Ziyu coming back, she hurried over to greet her, "Ayu, how are you?"

"It's okay. Sister is grateful to you."

"I?"

"Yes, the emperor came in person to congratulate you and Master Ling. It was precisely because of the emperor's arrival that the matter was resolved."

"The emperor is here too? This..." Ye Qingyin didn't expect that the emperor would attend in person.

"Miss Ye, Madam is calling you over. The Emperor is here." This time it was La Mei who was beside Tao Ling who came to call people.

Seeing Lamei, Ye Ziyu was even more certain that the person who had just called her was not someone sent by the elders.

Ye Qingyin followed Lamei, and Ling Bingqing came over. "What's going on? I remember that you and Master Lin seemed to be quite familiar with each other at the horse farm before. Although it is indeed not polite for him to propose marriage at this time, why do I feel that you and Ah Yin seem to hate him very much?"

"Anyway, I just hate him now, but he really is going too far. This is the engagement party for my sister and Master Ling, and he goes to the engagement party and does something like this. Isn't he crazy?" Ye Ziyu said.

"Nervous? What's the word 'nervous'?" Ling Bingqing heard it for the first time.

"Emmm...it's just scolding people for not doing things according to normal thinking. Yes, that's how I understand it." Ye Ziyu explained.

"Oh~" Ling Bingqing nodded, "So there is such a word, I learned it."

"Is the banquet about to start?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"It's almost time. When the time comes, someone will come to call us and we will go to watch the ceremony. Let's sit down and have a rest first." Ling Bingqing said.

Almost all the female relatives had arrived, and everyone had found their own friends to chat with, so Ling Bingqing no longer had to deal with them.

"Why didn't I see Zhizhi?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"Oh, yes, why hasn't Zhizhi come yet?" Ling Bingqing looked around and didn't see Liu Zhizhi, but she was sure that she had sent a message to the Liu Mansion.

"Maybe something delayed him."

"Miss, Madam said that the ceremony is about to begin, and she wants you to bring the female relatives to watch the ceremony." A maid from the Ling Mansion came over.

"I understand." Ling Bingqing stood up and called all the female relatives to go and watch the ceremony together.

After the ceremony, everyone returned to their seats and prepared to take their meals.

Ye Qingyin and Ling Sichen were dining with the emperor in the front hall.

"Third sister, I'm not feeling well. Can you stay with me?" Ye Kexin's voice was neither loud nor soft, and everyone around Ye Ziyu heard it.

"Why should fourth sister bother to please a cold butt? You know that third sister is not close to others." Ye Xinhe said not far away.

Ye Kexin had a pitiful expression on her face. "Okay, I'll go with my third sister." Ye Ziyu said.

Ye Kexin's face lit up with joy, "Thank you, Third Sister."

Ye Kexin took Ye Ziyu to the guest room prepared for guests at Ling's house. As soon as they entered, Ye Kexin closed the door and covered Ye Ziyu's mouth with a handkerchief from behind.

After a while, Ye Ziyu fainted. Ye Kexin moved Ye Ziyu to the bed, then walked to the incense burner and lit the incense.

*

Lin Yun toasted, drank a few glasses, stood up and said to Master Ling and General Ye, "I drank a few glasses and feel a little dizzy. Master Ling, do you have a guest room so I can take a rest?"

General Ye originally wanted to say that if he was drunk, he could go home, but because the emperor was here, he did not say anything. Tutor Ling asked the servant to take Lin Yun downstairs to rest.

Halfway through the banquet, everyone saw Li Qiu anxiously whispering a few words into Jiang Xu's ear, and Jiang Xu's face immediately turned ugly. He then said a few words into Tao Ling's ear, and Tao Ling's face also looked extremely ugly. The two of them said a few words to the ladies, asking everyone to continue eating well, and they would be back soon after taking care of some things. Everyone saw their hurried steps, and were discussing what had happened.

Tao Ling and Jiang Xu walked quickly towards the guest rooms. When they passed by the ladies' banquet area, they took a look, searched for a while, and then left in a hurry.

When the female members of the family saw the two ladies coming, they wanted to stand up and salute, but the two ladies ignored them and just left, leaving everyone confused.

Ling Bingqing saw that her mother and Madam Ye were very anxious, and saw that they were heading towards the guest room, "Oh no, could something have happened to A-Yu?" Thinking of this, Ling Bingqing also hurriedly got up and chased after them.

Seeing the anxious looks of the two ladies, and seeing Ling Bingqing also anxiously getting up and chasing after them, Ye Xinhe guessed that something had happened to Ye Ziyu, and it must be something ugly. Ye Xinhe called on a few sisters to secretly follow and watch Ye Ziyu's joke.

The two ladies arrived at the guest room first. As soon as they arrived, they heard some noises coming from inside the room. They looked at each other in surprise.

"Hey, didn't our third sister just come here?" Ye Xinhe exclaimed.

Tao Ling and Jiang Xu in the front had very bad looks on their faces, "Why don't you stay at your seat properly? Why are you bringing the daughters of various families here?" Jiang Xu scolded Ye Xinhe.

"Aunt, didn't my third sister just come to the guest room? I was worried that something happened to her, so I came over to check on her. I'm sure the other ladies came here to check on her as well." Ye Xinhe looked innocent.

"But who would have thought that my third sister would do such a dirty thing, this is not..." Ye Xinhe did not continue speaking.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who said that the person inside must be Ayu? At that time, it was Ye Kexin who pulled Ye Ziyu to accompany her to rest. How come you didn't mention Ye Kexin at all after the accident?" Ling Bingqing retorted.

"Fourth sister has always been well-behaved and sensible. She has been taught etiquette since childhood, unlike third sister." Ye Xinhe said.

"Ye Xinhe!" Jiang Xu was furious. "Is this how you learned etiquette? You just make it up at random?"

"Aunt, you can't be so partial to her just because the girl is your daughter." Ye Xinhe retorted.

"What a person who understands etiquette. The elders speak and the younger ones refute." Tao Ling sneered.
