When Ye Zhaoyan saw Ye Jingli, he was standing under the shade of the courtyard waiting. He was tall and handsome, elegant and gentle, with a gentle look between his eyebrows.

Seeing her coming, he quickly bowed and bowed, "I've seen the eldest lady."

Ye Zhaoyan nodded and signaled him to exempt him from the courtesy.

He was wearing a crescent-green straight skirt, a bunch of orchids embroidered on his dark green gown, a jade pendant hanging around his waist, a sparse eyebrows, and a gentle smile on the corners of his lips, which was elegant and graceful.

After all, Ye Wenxuan couldn't bear to feel wronged, so he actually picked out such an outstanding man from the Ye family's side branch.

Although such a man lacks his identity, he is worthy of ordinary ladies from aristocratic families.

Ye Zhaoyan looked at Ye Jingli, and Ye Jingli also looked up at Ye Zhaoyan, looking humble and modest.

At this time, Ye Fugui and Ye Wenxuan walked into the yard.

"Grandpa, mom." Ye Zhaoyan turned around to salute and introduced the man beside him, "This is Ye Jingli."

Ye Wenxuan clicked, but said nothing. He chose this person carefully, so he was naturally the best among the children of the other branch.

But he couldn't guarantee that this person was a bit interested in Ye Zhaoyan.

Ye Zhaoyan rarely appears in Ye's side branches. Because of his identity gap, these side branches' children have never been able to see him. Naturally, there should be no possibility that the Ye's side branches' children secretly narcissistic about the eldest daughter of the Ye family.

This is quite a pity.

Ye Wenxuan sighed. He hoped that Ye Zhaoyan would find a good person, but some things cannot be forced. All he could do for Ye Zhaoyan was this.

Ye Fugui swept over Ye Jingli and frowned slightly.

Although Ye Jingli is handsome, she really doesn't want Ye Zhaoyan to marry him.

Ye Jingli is the legitimate son of the Ye family. Although Ye Fugui did not know him, he knew that this child had always been known for his virtuousness among the other branches.

Logically speaking, such an outstanding man is not bad as a son-in-law, but Ye Fugui feels wronged for his daughter.

Ye Jingli's intentions must be comparable to those who truly admire Ye Zhaoyan. If she wanted to pretend to get married, she would rather be the legitimate son of the Ji family, Ji Si Nian.

What's more, she understands her daughter. The person Ye Zhaoyan wants to marry is the person he likes, and what he wants is a couple for a lifetime, not a marriage to consolidate the interests of the Ye family.

Ye Fugui only dared to recite such thoughts silently in his heart.

Seeing Ye Fugui hesitating and knowing what she was worried about, Ye Zhaoyan gently held her hand and said, "Mom, since my daughter has decided, she will not feel compromised."

Ye Fugui was slightly shocked, and then he understood Ye Zhaoyan's intention, and tears immediately surged.

Her daughter has always been a stubborn person. Once she makes a decision, she will move forward even if she opposes it.

Zhaoyan has indeed grown up and does everything to save the Ye family, even if she sacrifices her own marriage.

"Don't be sad, mom." Ye Zhaoyan wiped the tears from the corners of Ye Fugui's eyes and patted her on the back, "Daughter doesn't feel wronged."

"Ye Fugui wiped away the tears from his cheeks and responded vaguely.

At this time, Ye Jingli had already kowtowed to the two of them, "Jingli had met the general and his wife."

Ye Jingli lost his father since childhood. After his father Ye Chengze left, he and his mother became orphans and widows of the Ye family branch. Logically, the branch without the support of his father would soon wither. However, Ye Wenxuan did not underestimate Ye Jingli, but instead helped him a lot. Ye Jingli did not disappoint his expectations. Not only was he outstanding in his knowledge, but he also had noble character, which was highly praised by the elder of the Ye family.

"Okay..." Ye Wenxuan glanced at him with admiration and didn't say anything else.

Ye Fugui also put away his sadness and helped Ye Jingli up and said, "Jingli, our Zhaoyan is stubborn and has a bad temper. If she has any neglect, please forgive me."

"Madam is so serious." Ye Jingli lowered his eyes and replied respectfully, "The eldest lady is as good as a man, and she has her own style."

His words were beautiful, which not only praised Ye Zhaoyan and expressed his appreciation for her, which sounded extremely comfortable.

"Since that's the case, I'll ask your mother to come in a few days and discuss the marriage together." Ye Wenxuan waved his hand, "You retreat first."

"Yes." Ye Jingli bowed and turned around and left the room.

Looking at Ye Jingli's leaving figure, Ye Fugui suddenly sighed, "Zhaoyan, are you sure you really don't regret it?"

"Don't worry, mom, I have never regretted it." Ye Zhaoyan said in a deep voice, but his palms clenched gently.

In my mind, the shadow of the boy gradually faded away, but it became more obvious.

"Oh..." Ye Fugui sighed again, shook his head and said, "You are like you were willful and reckless when you were a child."

Ye Zhaoyan smiled, held Ye Fugui's arm, and said, "You are spoiled by your daughter, so she is so unscrupulous."

"I spoiled you, aren't I just looking forward to your happiness?" Ye Fugui stroked her hair and whispered.

She smiled happily, as if the melancholy just now disappeared.

It was soon the day for the banquet of the Prince Zhuo Mansion.

The Zhuowang Mansion, the guests are everywhere, and the relatives of the Jindu family all came with congratulations.

Prince Zhuo ordered people to set up a banquet early and invited nobles to gather together.

Because Emperor Donglin has been feeling unwell recently, he has never sent his royal family members to come, but only a palace maid and eunuch are sent to congratulate him.

All the other kings and relatives also came, and the entire palace was decorated with lights and colorful colors, making a lively scene.

After the main gatekeeper left, Ye Zhaoyan entered the venue carefully, but he did not want to immediately attract all his attention as soon as he entered the venue. Both female guests and male guests were looking at her.

These rumors of time have made her and the name of King Qing stick together, and everyone knows it.

Seeing this, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and walked into the table quietly and looked around calmly.

"This is the eldest lady of the Ye family. She looks like a rare and beautiful lady." A noble lady said to the lady beside her with a smile, her eyes full of envy.

The Ye family is now in great power, and the eldest daughter of the Ye family is loved by the King of Qing. Such good luck is enough to be comparable to the daughter of the royal family. How could she not be envious?

The man glanced at her, "But so, how could he be the three ladies of Jindu?"

Another lady echoed, "Ms. Ye is indeed not like an ordinary lady. She is so heroic. This temperament is not something that ordinary girls can possess, and it requires great perseverance."

These people sang and reconciled, and criticized them secretly, and Ye Zhaoyan couldn't help but frowned.

The banquet began soon, singing and dancing were coming, and drinking and drinking.

Ye Zhaoyan observed it carefully for a long time, but he could not see Zhuo Yibai's figure, and even Zhuo Mingxuan had never been present.

It's really strange.

The people at the banquet exchanged several rounds of discussion and gradually moved their focus to the important events that were about to be announced by the Prince Zhuo Mansion.
