Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

Chapter 221 Marriage Grant

As soon as he upgraded, Ye Qing'an felt the ground beneath his feet tremble and the earth shake.

Then, they saw a corner of something suddenly appear on the flat grass in the distance.

Unlike the previous purple-gold furnace, this thing that has appeared now seems to be a colossal object.

After the thing finally revealed its top layer, Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, feeling a surge of excitement. It was indeed a colossal object; it was essentially the roof of a house.

As the roof gradually emerged from the ground, the true appearance below was soon revealed.

It was a three-story pavilion with a plaque on top that read "Library Pavilion".

Jiuxiao's eyes widened: "Wow, this Cloud Dreamland is a treasure trove! It's one thing to have a top-notch alchemy furnace, but now it even has a library."

"Since it is the library in the Cloud Dreamland, and since it was left to you by the successive Supreme Beings, the books in this library must not be ordinary books."

"Quick, let's go inside and take a look."

Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao, then stepped into the library.

The bottom floor of the library is divided into three sections, with the largest number of books being those related to the cultivation of Xuanling techniques.

From the most basic foundation building to the cultivation of various techniques, everything is available, including many rare books that Ye Qing'an had never seen in the palace library in his previous life.

Secondly, there are books related to court politics, including political and military texts.

Jiuxiao followed behind Ye Qing'an: "Judging from the number and distribution of these books, most of those top-level Xuanling magic masters who became supreme beings eventually went into politics. Their ultimate ambition was still to conquer the world and seize the throne."

The other items, which occupied a significant number in the corner, were related to traveling merchants.

Jiuxiao, with his sharp eyes, darted over in an instant.

"I think these are the most valuable things. Money is the capital that allows you to do whatever you want. Wow, all the most profitable professions are here. I like these..."

Ye Qing'an glanced at it only once before heading upstairs, but was blocked by the barrier as soon as she reached the top of the stairs.

Several large characters suddenly appeared on the barrier: Only immortals may enter...

"The second floor requires immortals to enter?" Jiuxiao also noticed: "Terrifying."

"However, you should look at these books first. By the time you finish reading them, you should have already become an immortal."

Ye Qing'an responded, looked around the bookshelf, and picked up a book to read.

This was the book that Ye Qing'an had been trying to find, but unfortunately, it had been lost two or three hundred years ago. She had tried every means to send countless people to search for it, but to no avail.

With a book in hand, time flies by.

When Ye Qing'an heard a sound coming from outside, she quickly returned to her bed. By then, it was already bright outside.

Ye Qing'an returned from the academy and was about to go back to her courtyard when she heard footsteps outside the door. Ye Qing'an turned her head and saw several people dismounting from their horses. They were all dressed as palace eunuchs, and the one in the lead was holding a bright yellow imperial edict.

Imperial edict...

Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes, thought about the recent situation in the manor, and had a guess in his mind.

As the legitimate daughter of the Ye family, Ye Qing'an still had to go to the main hall in the front courtyard to receive the imperial decree, even if it had nothing to do with her.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: I have heard that Ye Weilan, daughter of Prime Minister Ye Qinghao, has been bestowed the title of 'Virtuous and Elegant,' and is well-versed in etiquette and manners. I am greatly pleased upon hearing this. Now that the Fifth Prince is eighteen years of age and of marriageable age, a virtuous woman should be chosen to marry him. Their union is a match made in heaven. Therefore, I hereby decree the marriage of Ye Weilan to the Fifth Prince as his consort. All ceremonies shall be jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Director of the Imperial Observatory, and the wedding shall be held on an auspicious day. This decree is hereby issued..."

Just as Ye Qing'an had predicted, the imperial decree was indeed a marriage decree bestowed upon Ye Weilan and the Fifth Prince.

After receiving the imperial decree and expressing their gratitude, the people of the Ye family rose to their feet.

As soon as Ye Qing'an looked up, she saw Ye Weilan, who had just received the imperial decree, glance at her with a hint of contempt, as if she were showing off.

Not only Ye Weilan, but Liu Xueying also had a smile on her face.

Ye Qinghao and Liu Xueying still had many things to take care of, so Ye Qing'an simply took her leave and returned to her courtyard.

"Did you see how smug the Second Miss looked just now, Miss? After receiving the imperial decree, she even glanced at you, Miss. She was clearly showing off to you..." Granny Wei looked indignant.

"So what?" Ye Qing'an smiled. "She only gets to be betrothed once in her life, so it's normal for her to show off a little."

When Granny Wei heard Ye Qing'an say this, she couldn't help but glance at Ye Qing'an. Thinking of Ye Qing'an's current situation, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

Although Ye Weilan's marriage wasn't particularly good, Gao Ai was still considered a prince.

However, everyone knows that her eldest daughter is pregnant out of wedlock and has a child with her. Even if she wanted to find a husband, she probably wouldn't be able to find a good match.

In this matter, Ye Weilan certainly has something to boast about.

Ye Qing'an didn't think too much about it and went straight back to the courtyard.

"With the imperial decree of marriage now in effect, the betrothal should be happening soon."

Granny Wei was still muttering, "I wonder how much the Fifth Prince, who is so unfavored and of such low birth, can afford in terms of betrothal gifts..."

Ye Qing'an chuckled: "When a prince gets married, the Ministry of Rites handles the betrothal gifts, and each has its own set of standards. Most of the time, these standards are strictly followed, so it's probably not easy to find someone who wants to make a fool of themselves."

Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Granny Wei frowned even more deeply.

"Sigh...that's true."

Granny Wei comforted herself again: "But getting married isn't always the best thing. A woman's biggest fear is marrying the wrong man. If her husband or his family is bad, then she'll be in big trouble."

"Now that Miss is in this mansion, Master trusts and relies on her more and more. Miss's status in the mansion is also rising. Perhaps her future will be better than that of the Second Miss."

"Alright, Granny." Ye Qing'an chuckled. "Everyone has their own destiny, it's all predetermined, you can't control it by worrying. Go to the kitchen and have them make some green tea Buddha cakes, Eleven likes to eat them, it seems like it's been a while since she's had them."

Granny Wei responded and turned to leave.

A short while later, Ye Feiran arrived.

When Ye Qing'an saw him come in, she merely raised an eyebrow slightly: "Are you here to offer incense to your mother?"

Ye Qing'an handed over the incense.

Ye Feiran lit incense and then turned to look at Ye Qing'an.

"what happened?"

Ye Feiran walked up to Ye Qing'an: "You made me perform such a grand show in front of Master Lingjun before, so that Master Lingjun would admit that he deliberately taught me nonsense. But I've noticed that you haven't made any moves since that day?"

Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow slightly: "Getting impatient?"

Ye Feiran frowned: "It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's just that I don't want to perform in front of Mr. Lingjun anymore, it's so annoying."
