Chapter 184 The Crown Prince Selects a Concubine
Ye Qingyan slept for a full night. She was too tired these days.
Leng Jiuyuan got up early as usual and went to the morning court.
A new dynasty appoints new ministers. These important ministers are carefully selected by Leng Jiuyuan and will be able to assist the prince in the future.
In the main hall, Crown Prince Leng Moli stood on one side.
Leng Jiuyuan said, "Prince, you are already over sixteen years old and old enough to be emperor. Your mother has returned.
I will choose a concubine for you in the next two days. After you ascend the throne and stabilize your position, your mother and I will also go out to travel and enjoy the scenery.
It was not my wish to become the emperor in the first place. Now I only hope that you will ascend the throne.
My dear ministers, the Queen has prepared a flower-viewing banquet for all the ministers tomorrow. You can bring your families to attend.
Minister of Rites, prepare for the Crown Prince's enthronement."
"According to the order!"
"If you have something to say, please speak up!"
Leng Jiuyuan was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a purple gold crown on his head. He sat upright on the Nine Dragon Throne with a cold expression.
The court began to discuss state affairs...
After Ye Qingyan woke up, she packed up briefly. Feng Yi looked at Ye Qingyan and asked, "Master, will you go to the Demon Realm again in the future?"
Ye Qingyan said calmly: "I have accepted the inheritance of the ancestor. If there is trouble in the demon world, I still have to go. We will see the situation then."
Ye Qingyan looked at Feng Yi and Feng Jiu, "You guys should have gotten married by now, but I didn't expect that your wedding would be delayed because of my absence.
After the flower viewing banquet, pick a good date and I will arrange your wedding."
Feng Yi and Feng Jiu's faces have not changed, but An Yi and the others have aged a lot. After all, sixteen years have passed in the human world.
After the morning court session ended, Crown Prince Leng Moli and Second Prince Leng Qingchen came to Ye Qingyan's bedroom. Seeing their mother, they felt both familiar and unfamiliar.
He immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness greets your Majesty!"
They learned from their father that their mother was learning kung fu in the demon world and therefore could not come back.
Ye Qingyan's eyes were filled with tears: "Son, it is your mother who is sorry for not raising you.
When the Queen Mother went to search for the lost people, you were still in your infancy, and in just a few years, you have grown into handsome young men."
She held the two children in her arms, one in each, and tears fell from her eyes.
The Queen Mother came over and said, "Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, you're back."
Ye Qingyan took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, then knelt down in front of the empress dowager.
"Mother, thank you for taking such good care of my son."
The Queen Mother helped Ye Qingyan up, and the family reunited, and she shed tears: "At the beginning, I once said that in your next life, I will help you raise the child.
Now that the child is grown up, it's time to hand him over to you.
More than a decade has passed, and you haven't changed at all. Look at me, my hair is already full of white."
Ye Qingyan stood up and helped Queen Mother Chu sit down, "Mother, this important task still falls on you.
You raised them all by yourself. Although I am their biological mother, I only took care of them for a few months.
I'll have to trouble you to continue looking after them."
Queen Mother Chu frowned immediately: "This responsibility still falls on my head."
Ye Qingyan smiled and said, "Of course, you will not only take care of them, but also protect their children in the future.
A house full of grandparents and grandchildren, full of joy, is the dream of many people.
Mother, I will hold a flower viewing banquet tomorrow to select concubines for them. You must come and take charge."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I am old and my eyesight is dim. They should choose their own princess."
Ye Qingyan looked at her two sons and said, "Tomorrow, you must keep your eyes open and select more people.
Your mother only gave birth to you two, so you must marry more and produce more heirs to the royal family."
Leng Moli completely inherited Leng Jiuyuan's cold personality and is serious.
The second son, Leng Qingchen, is like a banished immortal. He likes to do business and has a much gentler temperament.
Ye Qingyan said to her two sons, "When I have time in a few days, I will teach you all the skills of the Qingyang Sect."
They have mortal physiques and cannot learn the martial arts of the demon world.
Ye Qingyan also learned it after inheriting the skills from the ancestor Shao Nian.
The two sons still had to go learn martial arts, so they only sat for a while and then left with the empress dowager.

Ye Qingyan arrived at Qingshui Hall. In the courtyard, a white-haired old man was practicing Tai Chi. She called out, "Grandpa!"
When Grandpa Ye saw his granddaughter coming back, tears welled up in his eyes: "Yan Yan, you are finally back. Grandpa was really afraid that he would never see you again."
Ye Qingyan smiled and said, "Grandpa, you will live forever." She took out two stacks of banknotes from the space.
"Grandpa, one stack is for the ancestor, and one stack is for you to keep. You can never spend all these banknotes in your lifetime. If I am not here, you will still have money to spend."
Old Master Ye refused: "Yan Yan, you didn't spend the money you gave me before, and Leng Jiuyuan always sent me banknotes and sent people to deliver all the food and drinks. He was very good to us two old people."
Hearing this, Ye Qingyan smiled, "Jiuyuan did a good job on this point. Grandpa, come to my palace tonight and we can have a good time together."
Old Master Ye nodded. His granddaughter was his only hope.
Ye Qingyan began to tell him about her experiences in the demon world...
In the evening, a grand banquet was held in the Queen's palace. The nameless master, the grandfather of the Ye family, the Queen Mother and others were all present.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank together, talking freely, and not leaving until they were drunk.
At night, the lights in the house were bright, and Leng Jiuyuan was a little drunk. She came to Ye Qingyan and said, "Queen, I have been chaste and have kept my virginity for you for sixteen years. Tonight, I can break my vow."
He ignored Ye Qingyan's objection and picked her up and put her on the bed. The red curtains of the mermaid silk were drawn layer by layer. After a while, a shy sound came from inside...
The second day was a flower-viewing banquet. The streets of the capital were extremely lively, with carriages flowing continuously, heading straight for the palace.
The noble ladies from each family dressed in gorgeous clothes and wore gold hairpins and jade ornaments on their heads. They entered the palace with full confidence, hoping to win the favor of the prince and other princes.
…………
Chonghua Hall
Ye Qingyan was wearing a bright yellow palace dress and a phoenix crown on her head, sitting upright in the main seat of the hall.
The other ladies sat on both sides according to their name tags.
The Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the sons of several of their uncles were also present.
Ye Qingyan said softly, "Today is a flower viewing banquet, and I have prepared a banquet.
It's a rare opportunity for everyone to get together, and the ladies from each family can perform their talents to liven up the atmosphere."
The Prime Minister's daughter, Fu Jiangcha, has exquisite makeup, skin as white as snow, eyebrows like crescent moons, and eyes like stars.
The light green brocade dress outlined her slender waist perfectly, making her look bright and charming.
She walked out and bowed gracefully: "Your Majesty, your servant Fu Jiangcha is willing to perform sword skills for everyone to entertain you."
Ye Qingyan couldn't help but be stunned. She never expected that a slender woman would dance with a sword.
She had a smile on her face: "Okay!"
Fu Jiangcha said gently, "Is there anyone willing to play a song for me?"
Crown Prince Leng Moli also became interested and said, "I would like to play the flute to accompany Miss Fu's performance."
