Chapter 504: The Mighty Emperor and Empress
Lian Shi had already gone to discuss the mansion matters with the neighbors on both sides of the First-Rank General's Mansion. His idea was to have Yanhua Palace buy out the two houses and pay several times the price.
But the two families refused to accept it no matter what and insisted on giving it away. Not only the mansion, but also the furniture inside. They even said that if Miss Ye Si didn't like the existing style, they could have someone renovate it.
Lian Shi nodded with a smile, and then said to the two families: "Since the two gentlemen are so kind, it would be disrespectful for Yanhua Palace to refuse. Although our family cannot be the master of Lord Emperor, Yanhua Palace will definitely repay the favor. The two gentlemen's families have helped Lord Emperor to express his feelings to the future Empress, and we will convey this matter truthfully after returning to the palace. Don't worry, even if Lord Emperor does not repay the favor personally, it will definitely be Yanhua Palace that will do it. After this dealings, we can be considered to know each other from now on." The two families were so happy that they almost sent themselves away!
It was worth it to get a favor from Yanhua Palace! And just thinking about the house they had lived in, which was later given to the Emperor and Empress, maybe the Emperor would come over to visit the Emperor and Empress, and they felt that this was simply a blessing from their ancestors. If this was written into the family tree, future generations would have to kowtow to him and burn incense!
Oh my god, it makes me excited just thinking about it! How can they be so smart to come up with such an idea!
The two families were so happy that they jumped for joy and went home happily to get the land deeds.
Other families in this alley also sent people back to get the land deeds, and then stood here waiting to see how many mansions the betrothal gifts could support, and when it would be their turn to donate their own homes.
Ye Wenyan ignored what Lian Shi was doing. She was just looking at the fairy jades that were in each box. This kind of thing was more precious than the best spiritual stones in the spiritual world. The value of a piece of fairy jade was comparable to 100,000 pieces of the best spiritual stones. Moreover, this kind of thing was hard to come by, and everyone knew it was precious, but there was no place to find it.
Because the mountain where immortal jade can be dug out is a place that only powerful people above the level of transformation can go. And even if a cultivator at the stage of transformation goes there, he can only dig some broken jade on the periphery. Going further in will lead to the stage of falling into the mortal realm, and in the end, to dig out a whole jade larger than a fist, one must be a cultivator at the late stage of the pinnacle.
She didn't know how many people in the world had reached the pinnacle at that time, but according to the records in the ancestral book of the Xuanmai Ye family in her previous life, a person who could reach the pinnacle was a genius that appeared only once in thousands of years. A person who reached the pinnacle in the early stage was enough to be proud of the world, let alone the middle and late stages, or even the pinnacle of great perfection.
Looking at the fairy jades that Shi Liyuan had stored, it was clear that he was the only one who had reached the level of being able to mine whole jades. So... did he alone dig up all the fairy jades in the world?
She talked to the purple-robed palace servant who had shared scientific knowledge with Ye Lianmian before, and asked in a low voice: "Apart from these 9,999 pieces of fairy jade, does Yanhua Palace have any other fairy jade?"
The purple-robed palace maid replied respectfully: "To answer the Emperor and Empress, there are plenty!"
Ye Wenyan stroked his forehead. Well, it was indeed that he dug all the fairy jade in the world by himself. Shi Liyuan was too shameless. You should at least leave some for the later comers. Otherwise, when someone's cultivation level is improved, he will go to the fairy mountain and see that the mountain has been dug flat! What an ugly scene! It also shows that he is too greedy.
The purple-robed palace maid may have guessed what Ye Wenyan was thinking, and quickly said to her: "Please rest assured, Empress Dowager. The Emperor once said that even in the past when spiritual energy was abundant, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to have a higher cultivation level than him. Even if he could reach the level of mining fairy jade, it would be impossible within ten thousand years."
"What about ten thousand years later?"
"Ten thousand years from now, the Emperor will only be more powerful. Even if those people find out that the fairy jades are gone, no one dares to say anything." "...Okay!" She looked at the fairy jades again and felt that they were a little hot. "These things are too eye-catching. If I put so many fairy jades here, won't everyone in the world be concerned about them? It will attract thieves in the middle of the night!"
The purple-robed palace servant said again: "No one dares to steal the Emperor's things."
She curled her lips. Not necessarily. Wasn't there someone chasing after Shi Liyuan back then? It was obvious that not everyone was afraid of Shi Liyuan. People were afraid of his spiritual power. Once his spiritual power was severely damaged, just like when she first traveled through time, people all over the world would rise up and attack him, eradicating the only different person in the world in one fell swoop.
She calmed down and stopped worrying about the fairy jade. She no longer carried the betrothal gift box to the First-Rank General's Mansion, but sent it to the two newly acquired mansions on both sides. The two families all came out, and no matter the masters or servants, they all stood on the street with large and small packages. Lian Shi was very considerate and vacated several large carriages to lend them to load things and sit. The two families seemed very happy. An old lady even saluted her from a distance, and Ye Wenyan also returned the salute, which scared the old lady so much that she knelt down and kowtowed continuously.
She didn't dare to return the gift and began to think about digging basements in the two mansions. Although she could put all the things into the storage bracelet, there was not much point in putting such treasures and mundane things in the bracelet, and it was not easy to explain to the servants around her why so many things disappeared out of thin air.
She still needed a place to store them, and she still had to maintain her normal mortal life. Besides, mortal things were only used in the mortal world, so it would be more convenient to keep them in the mansion.
While he was thinking about these things, another familiar face squeezed out from the crowd. It was Quan Qingcheng's close eunuch Wu Fei.
As soon as Wu Fei arrived, he knelt down in front of Ye Wenyan and shouted with a happy face: "Your servant kowtows to the Emperor and Empress! May the Emperor and Empress live long!"
I don't know how much force he used in shouting, but everyone on half the street heard it clearly. Ye Wenyan held his forehead and said, "He just issued an imperial decree, and my mother hasn't even agreed yet. Don't keep calling her the emperor and empress."
Wu Fei said with a smile, "It's only a matter of time, only a matter of time." He then looked at Madam Mu and bowed respectfully, "Hello, Madam."
Madam Mu nodded and said to him with a smile: "Yan'er is right. Now the engagement letter has not been exchanged, the matchmaker has not been appointed, and the marriage has not been completed. I am really unworthy of the title of empress. It would be embarrassing for outsiders to hear it."
Wu Fei hurriedly said to Mrs. Mu, "Madam, please don't be confused. The Emperor is a perfect husband that is hard to find even with a lantern! He has been single for more than 400 years and has never even touched a woman. Now he suddenly falls in love with the fourth lady. How can he not be doted on to the core? The fourth lady will enjoy a happy life in the future! As soon as the Emperor and the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace heard about this, they were very happy for the fourth lady and quickly asked their servants to prepare gifts for her. The gifts filled eight large palace carriages, but unfortunately they were blocked at the palace gate as soon as they left the palace, and are still queuing at the palace gate! I'm here to tell the fourth lady that once the betrothal gifts from Yanhua Palace are carried up, the gifts from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager will arrive immediately!" These words were not so much spoken to Ye Wenyan and Mrs. Mu as to the onlookers.
Before leaving, Empress Dowager Yu and Quan Qingcheng had told Wu Fei that if this matter was to be done, it must be done beautifully. Why did the Emperor choose this juncture to issue this decree? It was to support Ye Wenyan and to slap the face of the royal family. It was to ask the royal family: Do you have any objections to the death of the eldest princess by this emperor and empress?
Although they are also royal family members, Quan Qingcheng and Queen Mother Yu both agreed that when the royal interests conflict with Ye Wenyan's interests, they must support Ye Wenyan without hesitation.
So they also had to support Ye Wenyan and express their attitude. They had to let everyone know that the new imperial power Qingcheng stood on the side of Miss Ye Si and the side of the emperor.
After listening to the discussion of the crowd for a while, Wu Fei cleared his throat twice and continued, "The emperor also said that the princess harbored the remnants of Qiuhu in order to wait for the day when she is fully grown and slaughters Lin'an City from the inside out, seizes the throne, re-establishes the Qiuhu regime, and plants the flags of Qiuhu Kingdom all over the land of Northern Qi. Fourth Miss Ye destroyed the princess's mansion and killed the guards disguised as Qiuhu people on her own. She has made contributions to the country and benefited the people. This Lin'an City was saved by Fourth Miss Ye!"
He was so excited when he spoke that the people who were kneeling stood up and began to talk about what happened in the Princess's Mansion with great emotion, and how Miss Ye Si was selfless and willing to bear the infamy and fight against the royal family to find out the remnants of Qiuhu. Because she knew that as long as a Qiuhu person was left alive, a Northern Qi person would definitely die in the future.
Qiu Hu and Northern Qi have a grudge of destroying the country, and they will not let us go. If we don't get rid of the root of the problem, we will definitely be the ones who suffer in the end. So in order for us to live well, Miss Ye Si has good intentions, and we should all be grateful to her!
People's emotions were aroused by him, and they expressed their gratitude to Ye Wenyan one after another. Some of those who were more adept at taking pictures even saluted towards Mrs. Mu, saying loudly that it was a great blessing for the country that Madam Ye had raised such a daughter!
Ye Wenyan was extremely embarrassed by this scene, but Zhuier was quite excited. She kept pulling her sleeves and said, "Look, young lady, they will never dare to pin the eldest princess' death on you again."
Someone immediately took over the conversation: "It doesn't matter if it was Fourth Miss Ye who killed her. She was doing this to help the people! Fourth Miss Ye was trying to protect all of our lives. She is our savior."
People living in the inner city are all very shrewd. At this point, how can they not see the market situation? Ye Wenyan is already the empress, from now on, what choice do they have except to go along with her?
So someone bravely shouted, "Your Highness, please withdraw the imperial guards you brought with you! I have never heard of the royal family leading troops to arrest the future emperor and empress. If the emperor knew about this, he would definitely dig up the imperial tomb!"
"That's right! Our Empress is kindhearted and beautiful, how can she be framed so easily?" Quan Qingshu and Quan Qingzhao looked at each other, not knowing what to do...
