Chapter 114 – Joyous Occasion

The Ye family's joyous occasion came just after the Spring Festival — Pei Yuanshu and Ye Huailing were getting married.

The date set during the royal court's holiday at the end of the year was thoughtfully chosen by both Chu Jinglan and Ye Huaiyang, which allowed them plenty of time to prepare and arrange. Since Ye Huaiyang has always been most considerate, she knew that Pei Yuanshu being an honest and upright official these many years does not have much wealth. Hence, a residence that was not far and just across the street from Ye mansion was especially given to Pei Yuanshu as their new home.

The Ye family has only a total of two girls in this generation. Since Ye Huaiyang's wedding could not be extravagant at that time, there naturally mustn't be regrets for Ye Huailing's too. On the day of the wedding, snowy-while camellia paved the entire street. As the red phoenix carriage speed slowly through the falling petals, the horses strode on the dust around the capital while the fluttering red silk covered the bride's delicate face like mist and more touches of shyness added amidst the cheering voices.

Two people dressed in plain clothes stood and watched from afar in the Ye family's attic. The woman's gaze was beaming star-like bright while the man looked down at her, seemingly lost in thought.

"Once your body is fit, Husband will make up a grand Empress' conferral ceremony for you."

" .... You thought I'm envious of this?"

Not knowing whether to laugh or to cry, Ye Huaiyang shifted her gaze from the beating drums and gongs streets to Chu Jinglan and precisely caught the flash of regret in his eyes.

"At the time of our marriage ... there were many things that Husband didn't do."

She understood the rest of his unspoken words. There were too many failings at that time since he didn't treat this matrimony wholeheartedly. Now that he is the Emperor who wields the reign in his hands, he wants to make up for the grievances that she has suffered and give her the world's best things. He even wanted to announce to the whole world that in this life, she is the only woman who can stand side-by-side at the top of heaven with him, having the ministers respecting her, as well as to be written together into the annals of history with him and be eulogized generation after generation.

He knew she didn't care about the power and glory, but he just wanted to give.

Leaning against his chest, Ye Huaiyang softly said, "Jinglan, I don't need any Empress' conferral ceremony. You are still you while I am still me and these crowns won't change anything. Why do we care what the world thinks? Only the people who drink water know how hot or cold it is and we just need to live as we please."

" .... Do you really think this way?"

Chu Jinglan was somewhat uncertain. After all, Chu Zhenghe said all women are hypocrites who will say one thing and mean another when he came to the palace to have some drinks with him a few days ago.

Ye Huaiyang, who had never seen him with such an expression, immediately covered her mouth and laughed out before setting his mind at ease.

"When have I ever lied to you? The grand Empress' conferral ceremony is rather tiring and also costs a lot of money. I indeed don't like it. Moreover, I really don't envy Ling'er's spectacular, merely feel that she is so lucky to be given away in marriage by my Uncle and Aunt, while my Father and Mother ... perhaps they don't even know that I am married."

She felt a little helpless thinking of her parents who are touring afar. She doesn't know what they will feel when they come back and see herself as the Empress and has even given birth to a child.
