The marriage between Ye Yiqing and Zhao Yang was officially made public. Many people were surprised, but after all, the man was a widower and the woman was a divorcee. Not long ago, the emperor issued an imperial edict allowing Zhao Yang to marry freely. Obviously, he had known the inside story for a long time. What else could others say?
When the Lu family learned of this matter, they were only surprised, but then they were happy for Ye Yiqing.
"Your father married Zhao Yang. Although there is a gap in age, it is a good thing to have someone around to take care of him. Although Zhao Yang and your sister are good friends, she is also older than your sister. You …" Pei Shi looked at her daughter. She was worried that her daughter would not accept Ye Yiqing marrying such a young second wife. "You will certainly not be able to be filial in front of your father often in the future. With the princess by his side, his life will be better."
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Mother, do you think I will be angry and disagree? I have seen Zhao Yang. She is a woman worthy of cherishing. I can't be happier to have her by my father's side. "
Pei Shi was greatly relieved. "It is best that you can think like this. As for what others say, it has nothing to do with us. Can we control what others say?"
"Yes, don't pay attention to what others say." Ye Zhen smiled and nodded. What could others say? Wasn't it just talking about the seniority of Zhao Yang and Ye Yiqing? She had expected this and didn't care about it at all.
"There are two days left before you enter the palace. Mother really can't bear to part with you." Pei Shi thought that she would soon send her daughter to the palace.
Ye Zhen whispered, "If mother misses me, send a message to the palace. I will go out to see you, and you can go to the palace to find me."
Pei Shi just smiled and said nothing. When her daughter entered the palace and became the empress, everything would be different. Even if she really missed her daughter, how could she casually call a maid to deliver a message like an ordinary family, let alone enter the palace at will?
Hong Ling walked in slowly from outside, bowed and whispered, "Miss, there is a man outside who claims to be surnamed Murong who wants to visit you."
"Our family doesn't seem to know any man surnamed Murong." Pei Shi frowned and said, "Don't drive him away again."
Murong? Ye Zhen thought of Murong Ke. Could it be him?
"Mother, I'll go meet him." Ye Zhen said. Although she was not particularly familiar with Murong Ke, he was very similar to Mo Rongzhan in some ways. If the person outside was really him, even if she didn't see him, he would still have a way to see her.
She did not want to see him in her room in the middle of the night.
Pei shi asked in surprise, "Do you know him?"
"When I went to Dongqing, I encountered some trouble on the way. It was Murong Gongzi who helped me. Maybe this person is him. Mother, I will go and see him. If it is not him, I will drive him out directly." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"Oh, if he's our benefactor, then we must treat him well." Pei Shi was not very clear about what happened to Ye Zhen in Dongqing. Whether it was her daughter or her husband, they deliberately hid it from her. Obviously, they did not want her to worry.
Ye Zhen smiled and walked towards the outer courtyard.
In the living room, there was a tall and straight figure. She didn't even need to approach to know that he was Murong Ke.
Looking at Murong Ke's beautiful and handsome profile, Ye Zhen sighed secretly in her heart. She thought she would never see him again in this life. She didn't expect to meet him again in the capital.
Murong Ke heard subtle footsteps and slowly turned his head to look out.
She was still the same as he remembered, bright and beautiful. If she hadn't taken the initiative to look at him in the inn, he might not have fallen in love with her. However, there were not too many ifs in this world. He was destined to meet her and fall in love with her.
"Yao Yao, we meet again." Murong Ke's thin lips evoked a handsome smile and looked at Ye Zhen with shining eyes.
Ye Zhen looked up at him faintly. "I thought we would never meet again."
Murong Ke showed a hurt expression. "Do you not want to see me so much? Or do you think I will do something? You can rest assured that I will not kidnap you and elope. "
"What are you doing in the capital?" Ye Zhen knew that what he said at the beginning was true. He said he would let her go. Naturally, he did not come to see her this time.
"A little private matter. I came to see you. If you don't want to be the Empress, I can still take you away." Murong Ke said with a smile.
Ye Zhen resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "Then you will be disappointed. You can't take me away."
Murong Ke suppressed the sourness in his heart. "Then I have to say congratulations. This is my gift to you."
"I accept your kindness. As for this gift …"
"You don't even dare to accept the gift. Are you afraid that Mo Rongzhan will know?" Murong Ke's eyes showed a wicked smile. "Or are you afraid that you will miss me in the future?"
Ye Zhen took a deep look at him, took a deep breath and said, "Well, I will accept it. I wonder if Young Master Murong has anything else to say?"
Murong Ke stared at her white jade-like face. "Yao Yao, do you really not want to see me that much?"
"To be honest, I really don't want to." Ye Zhen said lightly.
"Why?" Murong Ke asked in a low voice. "Are you afraid that you will be moved by me?"
"Why do you think so?" Ye Zhen chuckled as if she could easily fall in love with someone else. If it was so easy to fall in love with someone else, she would have forgotten Mo Rongzhan long ago. How could she still marry him?
Murong Ke smiled. "I'm just saying."
Ye Zhen said angrily, "Young Master Murong, if there's nothing else, I won't see you off."
"I will stay in the capital for a while. Maybe I can drink a cup of wine at your wedding." Murong Ke said with a smile. "I'll go first."
"I won't see you off." Ye Zhen lowered her eyes.
Murong Ke looked at her with a smile. "Then I'll go. See you later."
Ye Zhen watched him leave the Lu residence, and then turned to look at the brocade box he placed on the table. She gently opened the brocade box, and it was immediately shrouded in a layer of green light. If it were not for the daytime, the light would have been even more dazzling.
It was a luminous jade!
Ye Zhen was shocked. If she had known that he had given her such an expensive gift, she would not have accepted it.
The luminous jade, also known as black jade luminous, was a special kind of jade that emitted a green light at night. It was said that the emperor's bedroom in the Qi Kingdom used this kind of jade as a night lamp. Luminous jade was not easy to come by, and it was almost priceless.
Ye Zhen did not want to give her such an expensive gift.
"Yao Yao, is this … from that Young Master Murong?" Pei Shi came in from outside and was surprised to see the luminous jade.
Ye Zhen nodded gently. "It's too expensive. I'll return it to him next time I see him."
Pei Shi glanced at her daughter. "This Young Master Murong is really generous."
