Imperial Decree of Marriage

  "Madam!" A shrill cry pierced the quiet courtyard, and Yan'er fainted into Fenghe's arms.

  Pan Yu Yang couldn't help but rush over with Bai Mu and they both charged towards Yan Er's side!

  Pan Yu Yang kicked away the wind lotus beside Yan Er's body, hugged Yan Er and rushed straight to the bedroom. Bai Mu collected his hand that was left in mid-air, looking at the departing back with a sorrowful gaze.

  "Master Gao, please come in and have a cup of tea. I've already prepared the best Bi Luo Chun." Steward Tianyunji hastened to speak.

  The unhappy eunuch lowered his eyelids and coldly snorted: "No, the slave must still go back to report." After speaking, he tossed the imperial edict into mid-air, daring anyone to let it fall to the ground?!

  Duan Yunji hastily caught the yellow scroll that was about to fall, ah, what a bother!

  "Who is that?" Gao Gonggong thought for a moment, his eyes narrowing tightly.

  "Oh dear, that's the newly appointed general from the imperial court, never seen such a majestic scene before, probably scared stiff." Sun Yunji wiped his sweat.

  "This is too unorthodox. Is this kind of person worthy of being a concubine? If the Emperor and Empress were to know that you are receiving orders in such a manner, I'm afraid..." High Eunuch Gao trailed off.

  Chuyun hastily pulled out a stack of silver notes from his pocket: "As Gao Gonggong has suggested, these are the general's tokens of filial piety to Your Excellency. I hope you will put in a good word for the general with His Majesty."

  Seeing the thick stack of silver notes, Gao Gong's face immediately showed joy: "That's natural, General is about to become the Emperor's son-in-law, and I'm just a slave serving my master as I should. Alright, it's getting late, this old slave will take his leave." He said, taking his personal guards and leaving.

  Baili Murong watched the eunuch leave with a cold eye and twisted his face in disgust!

  Worried and anxious, I want to go see Yan'er. I think Yan'er can't blame Shixiong (brother), Shixiong is also in a high position and there are some things that can't be helped.

  Mei'er didn't react much, and with her personal maid DouDou, she directly turned around and returned to the Autumn Meaning Courtyard. Thinking about what Master had given her, relying on Cai Er's body, it was likely that continuing to take that thing would bring more harm than good.

  The masters and young masters of the front yard have all left, Xun Yunji waved his hand, and the servants also went about their own business. They didn't need to worry about these big things, just do a good job and get paid.

  Duan Yunji hastily summoned a slow-walking servant and told him to quickly go invite a doctor.

  Pan Yu Yang felt a bit annoyed, looking at Yan's pale face again. Why did this woman always faint in front of everyone?

  Her heart was with her in her womb, she reached out and patted her face: "Qian Er?"

  The doctor came to see him just now, he was just short of breath and fainted, but he will wake up soon.

  "Uh, Yu Yang..." Her face looked a bit wronged, she opened her eyes to see the person in front of her, the father of her child, and choked up.

  "Alright, alright." Although he didn't like it when she fainted all the time, he truly didn't dislike this woman, especially since he couldn't resist her absolutely beautiful face. At this moment, she was looking at him with tears in her eyes, and his heart softened even more.

  "How could this be? You and I..." The rest of her words were left unspoken.

  "My dear, I am a minister, born into the imperial family, many things are beyond my control, I hope you can understand." Pan Yu Yang lifted her face, somewhat pale.

  "No, Yan'er...can't you really be with Yuexiang?" she asked persistently.

  "I like you, I have you in my heart. Do you still care about those titles?" Pan Yu Yang seriously examined Yan's face.

  "I told Father and Mother that I would marry you as my wife, but become a concubine instead. What would they think?" Yan'er felt like many things were stuck in her throat, making her heart feel extremely uncomfortable.

  Although she is a talented lady, she may not be as noble as them, but she is not material for being a concubine either.

  "The imperial city is far from Yangzhou, the child you gave birth to is my first child, Pan Yueyang. We will always be us, and the matters of the imperial city, how would the Yan family know?" Pan Yueyang pulled over Yan'er's hand, rubbing it back and forth, feeling a bit anxious in his heart, he didn't want Yan'er to leave him.

  "Yue Yang, can't you be a bit more fair to me?" Yan'er pulled out her hand and looked at the man with some unfamiliarity. The man in her impression, the man she imagined, should have been strong and unyielding, standing tall and fearless on the battlefield, and loving her dearly, showering all his affection on her alone.

  "Yan'er, I hope you understand me, I can't leave you." Pan Yueyang hugged the struggling woman tightly, facing Yan'er who was heartbroken and didn't know how to comfort her. In his life, this kind of humiliating plea from a woman was the first time!

  Her face was silent, letting him hold her like this, the beautiful longing for love that had just begun to sprout in her heart was slowly fading away, and she couldn't help but face the cruel reality. She thought she had found paradise, only to realize that she was too naive.

  Ridiculous General's Mansion, ridiculous man. I should have my own pride. Why do I have to be like a dandelion, attached to you, surrounding you and living for you?

  "Expel me from the mansion then." Yan'er gazed coldly outside the window: "Also give me some traveling expenses, it's only fair for this body I've obtained."

  Pan Yu Yang was taken aback: "What are you talking about?"

  "I say, get out of the mansion." Yan's icy voice.

  "It's impossible, you're pregnant now!" Pan Yu Yang let go of her embracing body.

  "This is my child, I will take good care of him myself, but this has nothing to do with you!" The sudden sternness made her words ring out clearly.

  "Are you crazy? Take back your words before I get angry!" Pan Yu Yang's face changed slightly.

  "Then get angry and drive me out of the house!" Yan'er didn't look at him, her heart full of stubbornness and grievance.

  She felt a sense of being deceived sweeping over her head, she followed him wholeheartedly, not caring that he had ruined her reputation, but what about him? In the face of personal gain and his own interests, he chose to prioritize profit, wouldn't he resist at all? Wouldn't he tell the emperor that he already has a wife?

  "Why, just because of an arranged marriage? That's the emperor's decree, not mine!"

  "But why don't you go and tell His Majesty that you already have a wife?" Yan Er raised her voice.

  "You and I are not yet married! Our family's marriage affairs have always been controlled by others, if I marry you, you will only be a concubine!" Pan Yu Yang blurted out in her anxiety!

  Her eyes widened, "Are you saying that you've been deceiving me all along? You deceived me by saying you'd marry me, you deceived my father by saying you'd marry me, but in reality, I'm just a concubine here, right?"

  Some furious faces were filled with resentment in their eyes, and she finally woke up from her dream!

  "Yes!" Pan Yu Yang's face had already turned cold, and she looked at her with a gloomy expression.

  "Fine, really fine, I finally know what I am in your heart." Yan'er wiped away her tears and stubbornly turned her head away.

  "I'm only telling you, no matter who you are, you've always had a certain place in my heart. I do many things for you that I would never do for any woman!" It was like a confession, like a declaration, and it was the lowest bottom line for him, who had always been proud.

  "I am just your plaything that comes when you call and goes when you wave." Without delving deeper into his words, Yan Er expressed her own views.

  "Snap out of it! Royal marriage is an old trick to win people's hearts, what do you know as a country woman!" Pan Yuanyang was getting impatient and spoke without thinking.

  "Country woman?" Her face coldly smiled.

  "I said too much, you don't understand royal affairs." Pan Yu Yang also knew that his tone was a bit heavy, he really couldn't bear to let Yan Er be heartbroken, regardless of whether she was pregnant or not, he liked seeing her smile.

  "Don't touch me, I'm a country woman, don't sully the general's noble hands!" Yan'er brushed off the hand that was stroking her hair.

  "Don't be like that, okay?" The man suppressed his anger again, his lips pressed against her shoulder, hot air blowing on the nape of her neck, speaking in a flattering tone.

  "Don't touch me! I don't understand the rules of your royal family, and I'm not worthy to enter your eyes." Yan's face turned away from her shoulder.

  "I said it! We, each of us high-ranking officials and young people, our marriages are not even controlled by our parents! I haven't even seen that princess, do you think I would be willing to marry someone I don't know?!" Pan Yu Yang was really angry, his voice several times louder than usual.

  "I also said you can refuse!" But Yan's face just didn't understand why he didn't have the courage to do so!

  "You're a woman who's really beyond reason, men are superior, it's normal for men to take wives and concubines! Go learn from Yan'er, she's also my bed servant, when has she ever been as unreasonable as you!" Pan Yueyang pinched Cui'er's face, forcing her to stare at him.

  "I'm not sulking! I mind your sulking too!" Her face was even louder than his voice.

  "Shrew! Is this the ladylike behavior you've been taught? Your parents didn't teach you that a husband taking a concubine is something to be accepted?" In this matter, Yan'er would always be in the wrong.

  "My parents only taught me to accept my husband taking a concubine, but they didn't teach me how to be someone else's concubine!" Yan'er also shot back with attitude!

  "You are my wife in my heart!" The words came out without thinking, and both of them fell silent.

  The sentence gave both of them a great shock. Pan Yu Yang didn't know how she could blurt out such words, had she unconsciously fallen in love with this woman?

  Her face had been sulky, but when she suddenly heard his loud and clear declaration, her heart felt a little sweet, and her tone softened as she spoke.

  "I am not your wife, your wife is a noble princess, what qualifications do I have?"

  "There's only one person in my heart." Pan Yu Yang pulled her small hand and pressed it against his chest: "Feel, she's inside."

  "I'm not a doctor, nor am I a fortune teller, why do you want me to touch?" There was a slightly spoiled tone, wanting to pull out the hand that he was holding.

  Pan Yu-yang grasped his hand tightly: "Feel carefully, she's inside." Indeed, Pan Yu-yang had truly become a man with no one in his heart. Since meeting Wan-wan, he more or less understood how to care for women and how to go hungry and thirsty while keeping watch over the woman he loved as she slept.

  "I don't understand you." Her face fell.

  "Beyond one's control..." A rare flash of pain flickered across Pan Yu Yang's face.
