The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 515 The scene was awkward

Shi Liyuan had indeed been here, and more than once.

He came to see Ye Wenyan in the middle of the night. Not to mention that he came every night, he would come every two days at most.

Sometimes he would wander around the Ye Mansion and slap the second wife a few times, but no one knew about it.

He had been here many times, so he was familiar with the route, but he shouldn't show it.

Lian Shi took a few quick steps and came to his side to remind him quietly: "Emperor, you should let the steward of the Ye Mansion walk in front."

Shi Liyuan was stunned for a moment, then he understood and quickly slowed down his pace to give the butler room to perform.

The housekeeper, with a hundred questions in his mind, finally led the group to Xuming Hall, and then ran away quickly. Only Lian Shi and Yun Chen came in with Shi Liyuan, and several purple-robed palace servants who came with gifts stood outside the hall. They had to let the master greet his mother-in-law first before they could go in to give gifts.

Under the guidance of the Mu family, the Ye family members sat steadily. No one stood up to greet the emperor. Ye Feiyu even held the teacup and drank tea.

Ye Feizhou was a little embarrassed because he had received great favors from Master Li Yuan twice, so he cleared his throat and said, "Since Lord Emperor is here to ask to marry our daughter, then this matter must be handled according to folk customs. It has nothing to do with status."

Lian Shi quickly tried to smooth things over: "Of course, of course. In front of Madam Ye, Lord Emperor is a junior."

The word "junior" made Ye Chulian almost unable to hold back her laughter, and her face turned red.

Shi Liyuan didn't think anything of it, and even agreed with Lian Shi's words. He nodded seriously, then took a few steps forward and stood in front of Madam Mu. He bowed with both hands forward and said, "I am Shi Liyuan, and I am honored to meet Madam Ye. I hope Madam will forgive me for my unintentional visit."

Mu clasped his hands together and wiped the sweat from his palms onto his sleeves. Although he was nervous, he didn't want to show it on his face.

She felt that Shi Liyuan's red outfit was a bit dazzling, and she remembered the legend that Lord Emperor wore red all year round because he had lived for too long and had seen people born and died all over the world. Gradually, he felt that he was like a stone, lifeless.

So he likes to wear red, in order to remind himself that he is also a living person.

Anyway, I have to say that this person is really good-looking, and he looks even better in red. I used to think that the children of the royal family were already very outstanding in appearance. No matter which prince, including the sixth prince, they all had excellent genes from the Quan family.

But now that she saw this emperor, she felt that all the family members lost their color in front of this red dress. This made her, as a mother, think that only such a look was worthy of her beautiful daughter!

Mu sat in the main seat and looked at Shi Liyuan, watching him bow and listening to him speak. After he bowed for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat!" Then he said to Yun Chen and Lian Shi, "You two should take a seat too."

The two people behind waved their hands repeatedly, "Madam, you are too polite. We will just stand. We will just stand."

Shi Liyuan smiled and said, "Thank you." Then he took light steps, lifted his robe, and sat down in the first seat on the left.

Then no one spoke. People on both sides looked at each other, as if they were waiting for the other to speak first, and as if they didn't know what they should say if they spoke first.

Although Mu had experience in arranging marriages for her children, she had never arranged a marriage of this scale, so she didn't know how to make the opening remarks. Although she had thought about it many times, she still failed to perform well on the spot.

Fortunately, the Emperor brought in some help. Seeing the awkward situation, Yun Chen coughed lightly and took the initiative to resolve it. He said, "Yesterday's decree to send the betrothal gifts was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and I didn't discuss it with the First Lady and the Fourth Miss. Although the Emperor has been preparing for this for a long time, it was all done in Yanhua Palace, which is still a bit abrupt for the Ye Mansion. I hope the First Lady will forgive me."

Seeing that someone had spoken first, Mu was relieved and quickly took over the conversation, "It was indeed abrupt, but it was not without any preparation. Although Yan'er never mentioned Lord Emperor to us seriously, on the night of the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, we were suddenly sent back to the mansion by magic. It must have been Lord Emperor's work, so we have some idea of this matter in our hearts."

Shi Liyuan quickly said, "I am not worthy of being called your Excellency in front of the Madam. Madam, just call me by my name."

How dare Mu! ——"It's more convenient to call you Lord Emperor."

Yun Chen then continued, "Whether it's a name or something else, it's just a title. Naturally, I'll call you whatever the eldest lady likes. As for the New Year's Eve palace banquet, you are all the relatives of the fourth lady, so the emperor will naturally protect you. And not just for that one time, from now on, the two families are relatives, so I have to protect you for the rest of your lives."

After saying that, he looked at the children of the Ye family and added, "Not only will I protect everyone present here, but when the two young masters and young ladies get married, your families and children will also be protected by the Emperor."

Ye Chulian straightened up, thinking that this person from the Imperial Observatory was really good at talking. He wanted to bribe everyone right from the start!

Mu Shi also felt very useful after hearing this, and finally smiled: "In this case, thank you very much for your care, Lord Emperor. But in fact, we are not important. Since Lord Emperor said that he has chosen our Yan'er, the only thing we care about is whether you can really treat Yan'er well. As long as you can treat Yan'er well, even if you don't care about us, we will not have any complaints.

Everyone has their own destiny. It is better for brothers and sisters to help each other. If they cannot help each other, they should just live their own lives. "Yun Chen said: "Madam, you are going too far. If the fourth young lady marries an ordinary family, it is hard to say what her fate will be. But if she marries the emperor, if she can't even protect her family... I am presumptuous to say something like this, then it would be a waste of marriage!"

After saying this, he waved toward the door and called in the purple-robed palace servants holding the gifts.

At this moment, Lian Shi touched Shi Liyuan unnoticeably. This was a secret signal agreed upon in advance. As long as Lian Shi touched him, it meant it was his turn to speak.

So Shi Liyuan said, "Ayan said that although I am a spiritual cultivator, the spiritual power of heaven and earth has disappeared now, and everyone in the world is living a mortal life, so I must integrate. She doesn't care about the past. Since you want to marry her, you have to follow her habits. When I get along with Ayan, I always listen to her, and she has the final say in everything. So if she says to follow the rules of mortals, I will follow the rules of mortals. But no matter whether it is mortals or spiritual cultivators, I don't understand the wedding etiquette, so I asked my palace servants to go to the people to inquire about what gifts should be prepared when proposing marriage. I hope I didn't make a mistake today. If I really made a mistake, please don't blame me, Madam."

After he finished speaking, Lian Shi walked forward and opened the red cloth covering the gifts one by one. Then he pointed at those things and reported to Madam Mu: "I have inquired about it. There are four necessary gifts for marriage proposals in the folks, namely tea, snacks, wine, and satin. That is, tea, snacks, wine, and cloth, so the Emperor also prepared these four gifts according to the custom. Madam, please look, this is tea, which is the spiritual tea cultivated by the Emperor of Yanhua Mountain by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon and using spiritual power. Although drinking a sip of it will not prolong the life of ordinary people, it can also repair physical diseases, external injuries and internal problems. A cup of tea is enough. If you can drink it for a long time, you will never get sick in this life.

This spiritual tea used to be drunk only by the Emperor. Although he could give some to the Emperor occasionally, it was very rare. I am the steward of Yanhua Palace. All these things must go through my hands. So I know clearly that the late Emperor only had one or two catties of spiritual tea in his life, and today we brought two catties to the General's Mansion. Madam drank freely. From now on, I will send you tea leaves every month. You can drink it yourself or use it as a reward. If it is not enough, you can ask me for more. "After talking about tea, let's talk about snacks-"There are four kinds of cakes here, namely osmanthus cake, peach cake, pear cake, and jasmine cake. The flowers used are also picked from the spiritual tree planted by the Emperor on Yanhua Mountain. Eating them can refresh the mind and benefit the qi, and moisturize the inside and outside. This cake can improve the internal strength of martial artists and make women in deep houses radiant. Oh, by the way, I forgot to say that the flowers were picked from the tree by the Emperor himself, and the cakes were also made by the Emperor this morning. Although they are just some cakes, they represent the Emperor's thoughts."

Next is the wine - "Madam, look at this wine again. This is the spiritual wine that the Emperor buried on Yanhua Mountain more than a hundred years ago. There were originally several jars, but the fourth lady dug them out and drank some of them. Now there are only these four jars left. Madam, please remember that you should not drink too much spiritual wine. Half a cup to one cup at a time is enough. It also has the effect of strengthening the body and bones, and it also helps with sleep."

Finally, let's talk about satin - "Speaking of which, these satins don't have much of a history. Yanhua Mountain doesn't weave cloth, so we can't get good fabrics. These are tribute materials hidden in the palace. When the emperor heard that the emperor was coming to propose marriage today, he personally searched the treasury for half a night to find the best materials. The emperor said he didn't like it, but there was really nothing better, so we can only ask Madam to make do with it. When we can find better things in the future, we will definitely send them to Madam."

Lian Shi introduced four things in one breath, and each of them made Mu feel like he was being taken advantage of.

But this is not the end, because these four items are given to the Mu family, and then there will be some gifts for the younger generations.

The first group of purple-robed palace servants handed the things over to the servants of the Ye Mansion, which was considered as the acceptance of the Mu family.

Then another group came forward and turned to Ye Feiyu and the others to continue introducing—
