After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

She looked at the Duke of Zhenguo with a smile in her clear eyes and said, "Grandfather, I am now a princess. How many women are more noble than me? I really don't need all this fancy things to set off my status. The most important thing is for us to be together happily as a family."

Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Qingqing is right. Our Duke's Mansion is already quite prosperous now, so it's better to keep a low profile."

The Duke of Zhenguo still felt that not holding a ceremony would be too grand and he would be sorry for his precious granddaughter. "But, a girl only has one jigui ceremony in her life. If other girls have it, how can my Qingqing not have it?"

Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "Grandfather, who said I don't have one? The coming-of-age ceremony still needs to be held, and I will accept the gifts. I just want us to hold it among our own family and don't want outsiders to disturb us."

Xu thought for a moment and said, "Alright, it's really too grand. It's just that others are the ones who are enjoying the fun. Qingqing has a point."

Seeing that her third aunt agreed, Ye Qingyu looked at the Duke of Zhenguo with pleading eyes.

Seeing that his granddaughter sincerely wanted to keep things simple, the Duke of Zhenguo couldn't bear to disagree. "Okay, as long as Qingqing is happy, that day, invite all your close friends and we'll have a lively family reunion."

Ye Qingyu's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, "Grandpa is the best. Qingqing thanks you for your help!"

Seeing her happy, the Duke of Zhenguo also smiled happily, "You, as long as you are happy, grandpa will naturally be happy."

On the day of Ye Qingyu's coming of age, although they were all family members present, Xu still decorated the house with new decorations, hung festive lanterns, prepared sumptuous dishes in the kitchen in advance, and invited the second branch of the Ye family, the Pei family, and families close to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Ye Qingyu was wearing a long dress in the color of a crabapple, with her black hair tied up and two hibiscus jade hairpins on her head. She looked fresh and refined, yet dignified and elegant, with white teeth, bright eyes, and a face like a peach blossom.

Jiang was the main guest, Ye Qingyu sat facing east, and Wanqiu presented her with a silk scarf and a hairpin, her eyes full of excitement.

Jiang walked up to Ye Qingyu, her smile full of emotion, her voice choked with sobs, "On this auspicious day of the month, I will wear your first clothes. I will abandon your childish ambitions and help you become virtuous."

Putting the hairpin on, Jiang's eyes were filled with tears, "You will be an adult from now on, so you must be careful with your actions and words."

Ye Qingyu stood up and saluted, "Thank you for your teachings, aunt."

With the blessings of relatives and friends, Ye Qingyu completed her coming-of-age ceremony.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, her favorite part of receiving gifts began. Ye Qingya and Pei Xuqing laughed and opened the gifts with her.

After everyone had a happy lunch, the doorman came running in with a happy face.

"My Lord, Princess, the Prince of Chu's Palace has come to propose marriage!"

"It's Princess Zhuang who has come with the betrothal gifts and has already entered the palace!"

The Duke of Zhenguo hurriedly stood up and walked out, "Go and greet him quickly."

Everyone went to welcome Princess Zhuang. Halfway through, they met a huge team carrying betrothal gifts. Princess Zhuang was walking in front, with Princess Changning beside her.

"Meet the princess, meet Princess Changning."

Princess Zhuang smiled kindly and softly, "My Lord, there's no need to be so polite. Everyone, please don't be so polite. I'm here today to propose marriage on behalf of the King of Chu. I hope I didn't disturb you all."

The Duke said hurriedly, "It is a great honor for our humble home to have the princess here. Please come in."

Chang Ning smiled and took Ye Qingyu's arm, winking playfully, "You didn't expect me to be able to come, hehe."

Ye Qingyu really didn't expect Changning to leave the palace. "It's really unexpected."

Chang Ning smiled and said, "Today is your coming-of-age ceremony, so naturally I have to come and give you a gift. Here!"

She took an exquisite little box from the maid and handed it to Ye Qingyu.

Ye Qingyu took it without hesitation and accepted it, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Ye Qingyu was not in a position to get involved in the matter of betrothal gifts, so she took Changning, Qingya and Pei Xuqing back to her own courtyard, and they talked about the latest happenings in Kyoto City.

It was unknown how long it had been before the maidservant beside Princess Zhuang came to invite Princess Changning, and Changning reluctantly stood up.

Ye Qingyu sent her to Princess Zhuang, who then told the Duke of Zhenguo, "The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has calculated an auspicious time. The wedding date has been set, and we're sending someone to inform the Duke."

The Duke smiled and said, "Please trouble you, Princess."

Princess Zhuang smiled and left with Changning.

Just after seeing off Princess Zhuang, a carriage from the Prince of Chu's mansion stopped at the gate. Lin Feng jumped down from the shaft and saluted, "Greetings, Duke. Our prince has sent a servant to bring the princess to the mansion for a chat."

The Duke glanced at Ye Qingyu, and Ye Qingyu looked at him with bright eyes.

"Go ahead." He sighed.

Shen Yanli did not show up for the coming-of-age ceremony because he knew that the Prince of Chu's palace would come to propose marriage that day. It was normal for the Prince of Chu not to come, but he did not expect that he would spend his birthday alone with Ye Qingyu.

Ye Qingyu saluted the Duke and got into the carriage with Mo Shu.

Arriving at the Prince of Chu's Mansion, Ye Qingyu was taken to the side hall of Yueqingxuan where they had their meals.

At this time, there were several simple home-cooked dishes on the table, all of which she liked.

She asked Lin Feng curiously, "Where is the prince?"

Lin Feng smiled mysteriously and said, "Princess, please wait a moment."

Ye Qingyu didn't know what Shen Yanli was doing. She sat down, picked up the tea, took a sip, and waited patiently.

Not long after, the door of the side hall was gently pushed open. Shen Yanli was standing outside the door with a plate of food in his hand, and a thin layer of sweat was on his handsome face.

Under the surprised eyes of Ye Qingyu and Mo Shu, he straightened his back and walked into the side hall. Although he walked a little slowly, his steps were steady.

Ye Qingyu stood up suddenly, eyes full of surprise, "Your leg! Is it completely healed?"

She had seen Shen Yanli's legs move before in front of her mother's tombstone. Only half a month later, he could walk so steadily.

Shen Yanli walked over and sat down beside her, and Ye Qingyu could see that his handsome face was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

She couldn't help but pick up her handkerchief and lean over to wipe the sweat off his face.

Shen Yanli froze, holding the plate he hadn't put down yet. His handsome and clear eyes were looking at her like a ball of fire.

Lin Feng gave Mo Shu a look, and the two of them quietly left the side hall and gently closed the door.

Ye Qingyu said distressedly, "Does it still hurt? You don't have to be so anxious. Your health is the most important thing."

Shen Yanli's Adam's apple rolled, and he spoke hoarsely with deep emotion, "Hmm."

Ye Qingyu then realized that her action was inappropriate. Her pretty face flushed with shame in an instant. She quickly withdrew her hand, picked up the tea and took a big gulp.

Shen Yanli moved his frozen body and then put the plate in his hand on the table.

He smiled with the satisfaction of a cat stealing fish, "Thank you, Madam, for wiping the sweat off your husband."

Ye Qingyu glared at him in embarrassment, her eyes as soft as water, without a trace of imposingness, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is your wife!"

Shen Yanli looked at her infatuatedly and smiled softly. His voice was elegant and mellow, seductive and affectionate. "The betrothal gifts have been paid. Sooner or later, you will be my wife."
