Chapter 188: I want to marry her!
“Why?” Jun Feng Ling asked curiously.
"Zheng Yuan Festival, you are meant to have a reunion with your family. How can Xiao’er alone attend the feast while leaving her own father and mother by themselves at home?"
Jun Lin Feng said with satisfaction, "My Xiao’er is always so kind and considerate. Why would I make it awkward for you? Rest assured, I will ask my mother to send an invitation to all of your family members. Therefore, all of you could attend. "
He suddenly remembered something, "Ah yes, that elder sister of yours, she wouldn’t be invited!"
Ye Yun Xiao became smug.
She just wanted to let those aristocrats see that although she, Ye Yun Xiao, did not hold any high positions, she still had the favor of the prince and was in the care of the Queen!
It was not a matter of courtesy to let a family of merchants attend the palace feast.
However, she made it happen no matter what!
When the time came, who would dare to look down upon her?
......
Jun Lin Feng entered Chang Ning Palace.
His mother, the imperial concubine, was gracefully sitting on top listening to the reports of several female officials.
The imperial concubine was in charge of the Sixth Palace, so she had to handle lots of affairs every day; but when she saw her son, she kindly smiled at him.
"Leave the area."
After the ladies left, Jun Lin Feng knelt and greeted her.
"That’s enough, you were not willing to come even once the past few days. This time, what did you come to beg from your mother?"
"In a few days time, it would be Zheng Yuan Festival. This child wants to ask the mother to send an invitation."
The imperial concubine smiled and said, "Which pack of scoundrels are you trying to invite? You are now the prince of Jian Ye Kai Fu. If you were to invite one or two friends, would the inner palace stop you from doing so?"
Jun Lin Feng hesitated a bit and said, "This child was thinking... to invite Ye Zhong Tai’s family to attend the palace feast."
"Ye Zhong Tai?"
The imperial concubine raised an eyebrow before she realized who that person was.
"Isn’t he the imperial merchant?"
Jun Lin Feng nodded.
"Feng’er, I have heard that you and his third daughter are very close?"
Jun Lin Feng said while kneeling on the floor, "I am in love with Yun Xiao and her only. I want to marry her and make her my main wife. I hope that mother could make it happen so!"
The imperial concubine's face soured, "Give up!"
She then said coldly, "You still do not understand your current social standing! The position of your main wife should be someone from the royal family or at least from the high officials’ families. How is the daughter from an imperial merchant a good match?"
Jun Lin Feng shook his head, he then said with a firm look on his face, "This child only loves Ye Yun Xiao, I only want to marry her and make her my rightful wife, please approve it, mother!"
The imperial concubine was so angry that her face turned white.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time, but eventually, she was the one who softened first.
"Alright! However, you can't let your father know! I will give you the invitation, but do not think of making her your main wife! With her social standing, she could only be your concubine at best!"
She waved her hand and the female maids around her quietly came up.
"Send word to the inner palace to send an invitation to Ye Family. Allow their entire family to attend the palace feast!"
When the female maid left to pass on the message, Jun Lin Feng thought that he might have forgotten to tell his mother not to include Ye Qingli within the name list.
However the order was already made, he would not be able to amend it. But it would be best to let Ye Yun Xiao know not to let her elder sister come because it would be troublesome.
......
Ye Qingli was casually hanging around in the garden at that moment.
She only came out to avoid Little He, but now she found that the scenery in the garden was quite beautiful.
In the past, she could not properly come out for a stroll.
She freely walked through the little hill when she suddenly heard quarreling.
