Chapter 499: Queen's Ceremony 1
Chapter 499: Queen's Ceremony 1
"Ye Dong, kneel down. The housekeeper will bring the family rules. I will beat this ignorant loser to death today."
The family law of the Danyang Marquis's Mansion is an extremely strong wooden stick, as long as an arm and completely black. If someone is hit with one stick, he will probably be half dead.
"Grandfather, I don't know what I did wrong. You want to punish me according to the family rules."
At this moment, Ye Dong knew nothing and was in a daze. He quickly tried to recall in his mind whether he had done anything bad recently.
"Then I'll tell you where you're wrong."
As he said that, the old marquis picked up a wooden stick and hit Ye Dong hard on the back.
He had been to the battlefield when he was young. Although he was old, he still had a lot of strength in his hands. With one hit from him with a stick, Ye Dong let out a wail and fell to the ground.
"You are a traitor. You defiled Xia Ying for your own selfish gain. For this reason alone, I can beat you to death today."
"You even asked Xia Ying to poison the emperor. Do you want the Marquis of Danyang to be buried with you?"
At this point, the old marquis became furious and hit him with a stick without any mercy. Ye Dong was beaten so hard that he vomited blood.
Now he finally understood why he was beaten.
"Grandfather, listen to me. I am only doing this for the sake of the Marquis of Danyang Mansion."
"I think you are dissatisfied with the slow decline of the Marquis of Danyang Mansion, so you are deliberately adding fuel to the fire. I will beat you, a stupid and unfilial grandson, to death today. Maybe the Queen will let the Marquis Mansion go in consideration of your death."
One stick after another fell on Ye Dong, and Ye Dong felt as if all his bones were about to be broken.
When Gan Fu received the news, she knew that the matter was exposed and Ye Dong would be punished by the family rules. She was so scared that she was at a loss. She rushed to the main room regardless of everything.
"Dad, please show mercy."
Mrs. Gan was so heartbroken when she saw Ye Dong being beaten half to death.
She only has this one precious son, and she is counting on him to give her a wealthy and prosperous life for the rest of her life. How would she live if something happened to him?
"They are all good sons you have taught."
Madam Gan stepped forward and hugged Ye Dong tightly, and the old marquis had no choice but to stop. He could beat his grandson, but he could not beat his daughter-in-law, and he could not beat the mistress of the Danyang Marquis' Mansion.
After Madam Gan's disturbance, the family rules could no longer be enforced. Marquis Danyang sat on the chair helplessly, like a deflated ball.
Ye Jintang sent such a letter but did not say what to do in Danyang Marquis Mansion. This made him even more uneasy. He wanted to do something but did not know how.
If he took the initiative to go to the palace and apologize now, he might run into trouble and Ye Jintang would be exiled to the Marquis' Mansion.
Now it seems that we can only wait until the Queen's coronation ceremony to see how Ye Jintang handles this matter. I hope she will show mercy for the sake of her last name, Ye.
At this moment, Marquis Danyang felt like he was waiting for his death, and he didn't even know when it would be.
Ye Jintang muddied the waters in the capital, but she didn't care at all and was only focused on waiting for the coronation ceremony.
Everything was ready. On the morning of July 19th, a drizzle began to fall. The rain did not stop until noon, but got heavier.
Ye Jintang leaned against the window, fanning herself with a silk fan and waving it from time to time. She also had a medical book in her hand, which she was reading with great interest.
"Jintang, aren't you afraid that it will still rain heavily tomorrow and the ceremony won't go on as usual?"
Seeing Ye Jintang's calm face, he put down the medical book in his hand and said, "I have made all the necessary preparations. Even if it hails tomorrow, my ceremony of crowning the queen can be held on time."
"Oh, you made all the necessary preparations, but I had no idea."
Xiao Mo, who was busy with state affairs all day, had no idea that Ye Jintang had asked craftsmen to make countless retractable awnings for the coronation ceremony.
"The Emperor will know tomorrow."
"Why are you being so secretive with me?"
When Xiao Mo saw Ye Jintang smiling at him playfully, he couldn't help but move closer. It was a rainy and gloomy day today, and he didn't want to stay in the imperial study. It would be better to stay here with Ye Jintang.
Just as the dishonest hand fell on Ye Jintang's waist, the voices of two children were heard outside.
"Mom, mom, we found a big bug."
Pingping's excited voice came, but Xiao Mo's face darkened. His two children were really clingy.
"What big bug?"
Ye Jintang rolled his eyes at Xiao Mo and sat up straight.
"look."
Pingping opened the wooden box in his hand with great treasure. Inside was a big black beetle with colorful halo on its black wings, which looked very beautiful.
An An, who was standing by, was extremely envious. She hugged Ye Jintang's arm and begged in a baby voice, "Mom, I want one too. I want to touch my brother's beetle, but he won't let me."
"Beetles are beautiful to look at, but what if they are poisonous? We can only look at them, not touch them."
Pingping spoke to An An like a little adult, and Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo on the side were almost laughing to death. The little brat always pretended to be mature.
"Mother has checked it out. This beetle is not poisonous and can't be touched. Pingping, can you let An An touch it?"
"Well, of course you can let An An touch it if it's not poisonous, but this beetle is mine, and An An has to give it back to me after he touches it."
"Okay, I'll just touch it."
Pingping held the small wooden box in both hands, and Anan stretched out her plump white fingers and gently stroked the beetle's back.
Xiao Mo stood behind Ye Jintang, watching her tell the children what kind of beetle this was, what it ate and other miscellaneous things.
He thought that Ye Jintang had really taught the two children very well. As princes and princesses, they were not spoiled at all, and An An's gentle and soft temper was very cute.
But he was somewhat worried about being born in the palace with such a temperament.
As her parents, they cannot protect her all her life. When she grows up and gets married, she will live with her husband's family.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo felt inexplicably unhappy. No, in the future he would build a princess mansion for An An and recruit a prince consort, instead of moving in to live with the prince consort.
He also wants to train a group of capable people for An An so that she can be well protected in the future.
"Daddy, hold me."
"An An should call him father."
"It's okay. There's no one else here. It's okay for An An to call you daddy."
Xiao Mo stretched out his big hand and picked up An An. His little princess must be healthy and happy all her life.
It rained the entire day on July 19th, and it rained heavily at night. No matter how calm Xiao Mo was, he was still a little worried about the Queen's coronation ceremony the next day.
Ye Jintang, on the other hand, was not worried at all and slept soundly at night accompanied by the sound of rain.
On July 20th, the rain was a little lighter, and Ye Jintang was called up early by Nanny Zhang and Nanny Liu to wash and dress up.
"Your Majesty, it's still raining outside. Will the retractable awning really not delay your coronation ceremony?"
While combing Ye Jintang's hair, Nanny Zhang glanced out the window worriedly.
It was pitch black outside the window at this moment, and the sound of rain could be faintly heard.
If it were this time on a normal day, the sky would have already turned pale.
