It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room

Chapter 389: Posting to the Young Lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion

Ye Nanyue knew that the Prime Minister's granddaughter was the youngest granddaughter.

The granddaughter's biological parents are the youngest legitimate son of the prime minister and his wife.

However, this legitimate son is not in good health and has been frail and sickly since childhood.

Parents tend to favor their youngest son more.

What’s more, he is a weak and sickly young son.

After much difficulty in raising the baby to 18 years old, he had his fortune told by various miracle doctors, Taoist priests and monks.

He married a daughter-in-law from an ordinary family.

The daughter-in-law and the prime minister's youngest son have a good relationship, and the good news came only three months after their marriage.

However, the prime minister's legitimate son was not in good health and died at the age of 20.

He passed away, leaving behind a little granddaughter who was less than one year old.

The prime minister's son is said to be extremely talented and handsome.

It is said that God is jealous of talented people.

After his death, the prime minister's daughter-in-law became depressed.

At the beginning, because my daughter was still young, I forced myself to raise her.

She became increasingly silent and on her child's second birthday, unable to bear the longing for her husband, she committed suicide by cutting her wrists.

Ye Nanyue could not empathize with this kind of love suicide.

I always thought it was just a rumor in books or ancient times.

Now that she was in this world, the shock brought by the sense of reality surprised her.

The Prime Minister was also very sad, and his wife personally took the little granddaughter to her side and raised her.

Nature is the darling of millions.

The prime minister and his wife, as well as the prime minister's two eldest sons and daughter, and his uncles and aunts, all wanted to give her all the best.

This time they wanted to betroth her to Lu Huaiyang, which really showed the sincerity of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.

Logically speaking, the emperor arranged this marriage for Lu Huaiyang because he really cared about Lu Huaiyang and was considering him sincerely.

Lu Huaiyang refused, fearing that others might say behind his back that he was ungrateful.

Therefore, it would be somewhat troublesome for the Prime Minister's Office to eliminate their resentment.

But the key point is not meeting the Prime Minister’s wife, but meeting this girl.

Ye Nanyue handed over the invitation just to give the Prime Minister's wife an excuse to refuse.

If the Prime Minister's wife refused, she could send a visiting card to the girl and invite her to come to the palace for a gathering.

Since the key lies with the Prime Minister's granddaughter, then... Ye Nanyue must start with her!

Resolve the resentment of the Prime Minister's Office towards Lu Huaiyang.

Ye Nanyan said, "Tomorrow is the eighth day of the first lunar month, a good day. The red plum blossoms in our palace's garden are in full bloom. I plan to hold a plum blossom viewing banquet and invite several close ladies and young ladies from the capital to come to our palace for a gathering."

Ye Nanyan thought for a moment and said to Beizhi, "Go send an invitation to the young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Especially Miss Lan, we must get it down to her in person. Please ask her to come over."

Ye Nanyue frowned and said to her helplessly, "Our prince rejected the marriage proposal from the Prime Minister's Mansion. I'm afraid this Miss Lan is unwilling to come."

"The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion might not let her come."

Ye Nanyan smiled and said, "Tell her that the eldest daughter of Captain Wang's family will come to our house to pick the snow water from the red plum blossoms to make tea. She asked Miss Lan, a young lady with such a refined taste, if she would also be interested."

"If there is any, I will clear out most of the plum garden for them to collect snow water. I have even prepared the jars!"

Bei Zhi was confused: "Princess, why do you want to invite a young lady from a thousand-household family? Will Miss Lan listen?"

Captain Wang was a wealthy family in the south of the capital.

He can be said to be the richest imperial merchant in the entire capital.

This man still does business based on his ability.

This is very rare in this ancient time where everything depends on power.

Qianhu Wang donated a lot of money and paid a lot of taxes to the court, so he was personally appointed as Qianhu by His Majesty.

However, he donated all the tax revenue from his thousand households to the common people under his name, and even asked the common people under his name to grow a lot of precious tea, which he collected for business.

Therefore, the thousand households under his name were much richer than others.

Captain Wang was generous, so many dignitaries who looked down on merchants were willing to associate with him.

Therefore, her daughter also knew many wealthy women.

After a few interactions, I naturally got to know Miss Lan.

There is a wonderful story between them.

As the mistress of Prince Xian's Mansion, Ye Nanyue invited Miss Lan. Perhaps the Prime Minister's Mansion was not afraid of offending her and dared to refuse.

But the daughter of Captain Wang did not dare to show off after receiving the visiting card.

Miss Wang is coming, and Ye Nanyue also asks her to collect snow from the plum blossoms with Miss Lan. Miss Lan will never refuse!

Ye Nanyue had already expected this.

But Beizhi didn't understand why, and was worried that it would bring bad luck and make his master unhappy.

Ye Nanyan smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, just do as I say, and Miss Lan...will definitely come."

Seeing Ye Nanyue's confident look, Beizhi also knew that his princess was not simple.

So she didn't dare to say anything else, and immediately bowed to Ye Nanyan: "I will go right away."

Sure enough, when Beizhi came back, there was a happy look on his face.

"How is it?" Ye Nanyue asked Beizhi while drinking tea.

Bei Zhi looked at Ye Nanyue with a smile, his face full of admiration and joy: "Master, you are really as good as a god."

"Really?" Ye Nanyue smiled faintly, having expected it.

Bei Zhi hurriedly said, "Originally, Miss Nalan said she was not feeling well and would not come. Later, I followed your instructions, and Miss Nalan said she would wear more clothes and come to bother me tomorrow."

"That's good. You did a good job." Ye Nanyue said.

Bei Zhi looked at Ye Nanyan in confusion and couldn't help asking, "Master, how did you know that Miss Lan would come if you invited the daughter of Captain Wang?"

Ye Nanyan said, "Don't worry about it. The secret cannot be revealed. I have invited people here, and I have my own way."

Only by making the Prime Minister's Mansion cancel the engagement on its own initiative can the resentment of the Prime Minister's Mansion be eliminated.

It would be even better if the Prime Minister's Office could feel guilty.

This Miss Lan is a key point.

Therefore, Ye Nanyue must invite her to succeed.

Bei Zhi sighed: "Master is indeed smart. This servant just can't figure it out."

Ye Nanyue nodded and said, "Alright, go and prepare for tomorrow's banquet. Decorate the garden beautifully and prepare some food and drinks that the ladies will love."

"Mongrel cake, fruit cake, mille-feuille, and milk tea, all of these need to be prepared."

"And the puddings, sugar cakes, candied haws, and pastries that I usually teach the kitchen to make must all be prepared."

"When the time comes, put up a curtain around the pavilion in the garden, and burn more charcoal inside, but make sure it doesn't produce smoke."

Bei Zhi chuckled and said, "Of course, Princess, don't worry about this. I will definitely prepare it."

"I'm not as smart as you, Princess, but I can still handle these things."

Ye Nanyan glanced at her and said, "You're such a chatterbox."

Beizhi went out with a smile, and Ye Nanyue's mood also improved a bit.
