Chapter 824: Chapter 726, Different Reactions

Yan Residence’s front hall.

After the eunuch had finished reading the imperial edict, the room fell into a brief silence.

Old Madam Yan, Yan Zhigao, and Madam Li hadn’t expected the Emperor to grant a marriage at this time, whereas other members of the Yan Family had never even considered the possibility of their family being connected to the Imperial Family through marriage.

Even Daohua herself was full of astonishment.

She thought her marriage to Xiao Yeyang would be further entangled, never expecting the Emperor to issue the marriage decree so quickly!

"Congratulations to the Countess of Shengping, felicitations to the Countess of Shengping. My lady, please receive the decree!"

Daohua came back to her senses, "This humble girl thanks His Majesty for his grace!" she said as she reached out both hands to receive the imperial decree.

At this moment, other members of the Yan Family also came back to their senses.

Yan Zhigao led Yan Wenxiu and the eunuch in making small talk and discreetly handed over a purse.

The eunuch felt the lightness of the purse and his smile grew even broader. Laughing, he said, "My lord may begin preparations. The Little Prince will reach his age of majority in June, and he’s indeed not young anymore. Once the Empress Dowager’s birthday has passed, and the Xiliao Delegation has left, a date for the betrothal will likely be set."

Yan Zhigao quickly thanked him, "Thank you for the reminder, Eunuch."

Soon after, Yan Zhigao and Yan Wenxiu personally escorted the eunuch out of the residence.

Once they had left, the front hall became lively.

Han Xinran was the first to react, then hurriedly congratulated Daohua, Old Madam Yan, and Madam Li.

Members of the third branch gathered around Daohua with joyful expressions.

Yan Yishuang looked on dazedly. She knew that with the Yan Family’s current status, her eldest sister, being the legitimate daughter, was bound to marry into a good family, but she hadn’t expected her sister could marry so well!

Xiao Yeyang...

Thinking of the dignified and handsome Little Prince, Yan Yishuang’s expression turned somewhat dim.

The Yan Family wasn’t particularly prominent, yet he was still willing to marry her older sister. He must truly love her, right?

Yan Wenbin noticed Yan Yishuang zoning out, walked over, and touched her arm. Yan Yishuang snapped back to reality, collected her thoughts, and put on a smiling face to congratulate their sister together with Yan Wenbin.

Another person was lost in thought; Yan Yihuan called Yan Yile several times without any response, finally having to twist her hand to bring her back to her senses.

The now-alert Yan Yile looked at Daohua, surrounded by others, with a face full of disbelief. Seeing this, Yan Yihuan frowned tightly and glared at her warningly, "Fourth sister, let’s also go and congratulate our elder sister!"

Yan Yile, seeing her sister’s warning, lowered her eyes to hide her emotions and then reluctantly followed Yan Yihuan toward Daohua.

After everyone had offered their congratulations, they went laughing to Old Madam Yan’s courtyard.

"What is going on with you? Everyone is happy today, why are you pulling a long face?"

Yan Yihuan, deliberately lagging behind with Yan Yile and seeing that no one ahead was paying attention to them, scolded Yan Yile in a low voice.

Yan Yile, with a resentful look and a face full of indignation, responded, "Why do all the good things in the Yan Family fall only on our eldest sister? She is the countess, and she is the one marrying the Little Prince; why is that?"

Hearing this, Yan Yihuan’s expression drastically changed, and she sternly rebuked in a low voice, "What are you talking about? If not our eldest sister, then who should it be?"

Yan Yile mumbled resentfully, "We are also daughters of the Yan Family."

Yan Yihuan, furious, sharply tapped Yan Yile’s head, "You’re out of your mind. The Yan Family’s position today was established by our uncle. If the Emperor is to reward anyone, it would be the main branch, it has nothing to do with our second branch, not to mention we’ve already separated households. Even if we hadn’t, the imperial favor wouldn’t fall on you or me."

Yan Yile huffed, "I just can’t stand how lucky our elder sister is!"

Seeing that people were starting to look their way, Yan Yihuan, unable to say more, could only add, "If you don’t want our aunt to send us back to our hometown, you’d better behave."

Although still displeased, Yan Yile finally calmed down.

Meanwhile, Yan Zhigao and Yan Wenxiu, having sent the eunuch away, were walking towards the backyard when Yan Wenxiu asked, "Father, what exactly is going on with our elder sister and the Little Prince?"

A couple of days ago, his mother-in-law brought the Feng family over, and his mother had said that his elder sister was already betrothed. But when he asked, his mother said nothing, leading him to believe at one point that this was just an excuse his mother used to avoid alliance with the Feng Family.

Little did he expect that in just two days, the Emperor would decree a marriage.
