Ye Qingcheng faced the questioning with a shy smile, her eyes glancing away. Who knew how they got married? She wasn't Ye Qingcheng.
However, Sheng Yiran didn't take it seriously. After all, the current Ye Qingcheng was beautiful on her own, gradually busy, and thus let go of the Prince. For this unfair marriage, it was already good enough.
"How is it? Have you decided what to do?"
Ye Qingcheng didn't want to manage this matter, shaking her head: "This matter doesn't require my worry. The servants will prepare it better than me."
Sheng Yiran just smiled at her, but didn't speak anymore.
As expected, after only one day, Ye Qingcheng was slapping her own face with her words.
Ye Qingcheng took over the arrangements for Xiao Wangye's birthday banquet from Yu Jian.
She was also going to give Xiao Wangye a big birthday peach this time.
Sheng Yiran also came to help, looking at her with a beaming smile.
This made Ye Qingcheng a little uncomfortable, but she still said with a feigned indifference: "I... I just feel that he also arranged a birthday banquet for me, so it's not right for me not to do something, lest others say something again."
Sheng Yiran smiled: "I haven't said anything!"
Ye Qingcheng was choked.
Sheng Yiran smiled and turned to write invitations. Suddenly she thought of something and turned back to ask: "Since when did you care about others' opinions?"
Ye Qingcheng's face suddenly turned red, a little shy: "Hurry up and write the invitations!"
After speaking, she turned and left in a huff.
Watching all this from not far away, Xiao Wangye couldn't help but curve his lips upwards.
Lin Xiao was still teasing: "Your Highness, the Princess is thinking of you! I heard from Yu Jian that she took on the heavy responsibility of arranging your birthday banquet, tsk tsk."
Facing Lin Xiao, Xiao Wangye returned to his expressionless demeanor: "I see you've been doing quite well lately! If you're comfortable, then go for three days of special training!"
Lin Xiao's face froze, his expression one of horror: "Your Highness, your subordinate was wrong."
Xiao Wangye waved his hand: "Go!"
Lin Xiao instantly looked as if his life had lost all meaning.
Ye Qingcheng had been busy all morning. As soon as she sat down, Sheng Yiran pulled her over to write invitations.
Ye Qingcheng found the invitations troublesome: "Just write them casually!"
Sheng Yiran handed the written invitations to Bi Xi, letting her put them away. Hearing this, she looked at Ye Qingcheng with some disdain: "Who is the Regent? How can his birthday banquet be casually invited? At least invite all the celebrities in the capital. Whether they come or not is up to them, but it's almost impossible for them not to come."
Seeing Ye Qingcheng's tired and drowsy eyes, probably from exhaustion, she didn't ask her to write anymore.
"Back then, no one expected your Prince to rise so quickly. Now, he is the most powerful person in the entire capital. Therefore, on such an occasion as a birthday banquet, when it's so obvious to socialize, they can't not come." Sheng Yiran looked up at her, "Perhaps the Emperor and the Empress Dowager will also come!"
Ye Qingcheng felt melancholy!
"Indeed, royalty and nobility are not easy!"
Sheng Yiran continued to write invitations and smiled, hearing this: "Isn't that so? I heard that the Empress's candidate for the Emperor has also been decided."
Ye Qingcheng was startled: "The Emperor is only ten years old! So anxious?"
Sheng Yiran sneered: "Hmph! Those old officials don't care how old the Emperor is. What they want is a candidate who can befriend the Emperor."
Ye Qingcheng quietly approached Sheng Yiran: "Then who is the Empress candidate?"
"Hmm..." Sheng Yiran thought for a moment: "It seems to be the Prime Minister's youngest daughter, that girl who just turned eight."
Ye Qingcheng twitched her lips: "Heh, so anxious, the little girl is only eight years old."
Sheng Yiran handed the written invitations to Bi Xi: "Their family's reaction is the biggest. There are several candidates for the Empress. I heard that those little girls have been taught imperial etiquette since birth, and I don't know if they will become Empress in the future. But it's very likely true."
Ye Qingcheng propped her chin with her hands and sighed helplessly!
"I used to think the Emperor was the highest leader of the country, but now I realize that the Emperor also has his own hardships. So young, their lives are already clearly arranged by them, alas~"
Sheng Yiran didn't let her continue her lament and handed her the invitations and brush: "Quick, you need to write some too, don't always let me write."
Ye Qingcheng helplessly took the brush. Just as she was about to write, she saw that the invitation clearly stated "County Princess Jiacheng".
Ye Qingcheng threw down the invitation: "Who wrote this invitation? They even included this county princess."
Everyone was stunned. Bi Xi stepped forward to sort out the invitation: "This was written by Aunt Yu Jian."
Bi Xi said: "Aunt Yu Jian had consulted the Prince. County Princess Jiacheng is from the Xu family. The Xu family has influence in the court, so... he agreed."
Ye Qingcheng pouted, unhappy.
Bi Xi changed her tone: "But the Prince said that if the Princess doesn't like it or disagrees, then there's no need to pay attention to these things."
This meant that Ye Qingcheng could be willful.
Ye Qingcheng's smile returned: "Then let's not invite this County Princess Jiacheng!"
Sheng Yiran was surprised: "You're actually not inviting her!"
Ye Qingcheng threw the invitation away.
"Yes, since Xiao Wangye said so, why should I make myself suffer? Bi Xi, take this invitation and burn it."
Bi Xi responded with a smile: "Yes." Her Princess was just like this, preferring to wrong others rather than wrong herself.
Soon it was the day of Xiao Wangye's birthday banquet.
Those who received invitations came with their families.
However, what Ye Qingcheng didn't know was that because of his great power, some friends from the martial world came to congratulate him. Because the number of people was too large, several extra tables and chairs had to be added temporarily.
Just as Ye Qingcheng finished her busy work, Xiao Wangye sent Lin Xiao to call Ye Qingcheng.
"Princess, Your Highness asks you to go to the main hall to meet people together."
Just then, a maid came to ask if it was time to serve some fruit.
Ye Qingcheng hurriedly asked them to serve quickly and then turned back to yell at Lin Xiao: "No! Can't you see I'm busy?"
Lin Xiao immediately turned: "Then I can only tell Your Highness that you refuse to come out to welcome his grandmother."
Ye Qingcheng heard this and quickly turned: "Wait, what did you say? Xiao Wangye's grandmother?"
Speaking of which, she seemed to have never met his grandmother.
However, she heard them say that Xiao Wangye's grandmother had been cultivating on the mountain. Now that her grandson was celebrating his birthday, she had returned from her cultivation to participate in Xiao Wangye's birthday.
Ye Qingcheng didn't know much about this grandmother, but she was the only one in the entire story who blamed herself for the original owner, blaming her grandson for treating human lives as grass and causing the original owner's death.
Thinking about it, Ye Qingcheng wanted to see her even more. She hurried towards the front courtyard, passing by Lin Xiao and even mocking him: "Are you sick? Why didn't you just say it directly, but had to put on airs."
Lin Xiao was inexplicably lectured and felt very wronged.
Ye Qingcheng walked quickly to the door and saw Xiao Wangye already waiting at the entrance.
