Chapter 184: The 3rd Prince Hosts a Banquet

However, this is not because Mu Jintang and Tang Peipei are overly suspicious.

Tang Peipei was invited to the palace today. It was the third prince who asked the emperor for help.

He did this, firstly, to let the emperor see that he was filial. Even though his mother had been sent to the cold palace, he was still willing to do what he could for her.

The second purpose was to let Tang Peipei let down his guard so as to facilitate his future plans.

A few days later, the Third Prince held a banquet for the celebrities in the capital, and the General's Mansion was naturally among them.

In the prosperous capital, the Third Prince's residence was unusually lively. Today, the Third Prince held a banquet and invited the famous families of the headquarters to attend the banquet. The protagonist of the Third Prince's banquet tonight was the Ye family.

Tang Peipei didn't like this kind of occasion, so she came relatively late. Not long after she arrived, Ye Yunshu also came.

The two of them nodded as if nothing had happened, as a greeting.

Because, at present, the relationship between Mu Jintang and the Fifth Prince cannot be exposed to the public, and the two of them cannot act too close.

Madam Ye didn't want to come today, but she couldn't stand the pleading of Ye Yunshu's half-sister Ye Yunwan and her biological mother Aunt Huang, and also the request of Lord Ye, so no matter how unhappy she was, she still brought Ye Yunwan here.

Seeing his mother, Ye Yunshu hurried forward to greet her, and smiled as he took his mother's hand.

Ye Yunwan, who was standing aside, was left behind and was obviously unhappy. However, although she was now registered under Madam Ye's name, she was not Madam Ye's biological daughter after all, so she naturally did not dare to complain openly.

In just a moment, he regained his composure, pretending to have a good relationship with Ye Yunshu, and went around to the other side of Mrs. Ye to start a conversation.

Tang Peipei saw all of this clearly, and she couldn't help but feel sympathy for Ye Yunshu's previous life.

No wonder her mother would rather leave her in the countryside to recuperate than let her stay with her at such a young age.

Tang Peipei was just thinking about it when tonight's host appeared.

The third prince was seen dressed in gorgeous attire and personally welcoming the Ye family into the venue with great elegance.

When Ye Yunwan saw the Third Prince walking towards them, her heart began to beat uncontrollably. Her face flushed, she lowered her head slightly, her heart full of anticipation.

The third prince walked up to Ye Yunwan and greeted her with a smile. His eyes were as gentle as water, and Ye Yunwan couldn't help but be intoxicated by them.

"Miss Ye, long time no see. Thank you for your family's visit today." The third prince said softly.

Ye Yunwan responded shyly: "You are too polite, Third Prince. It is our honor to be able to attend this banquet."

Because the Third Prince's Mansion does not have a hostess yet, all male and female guests for tonight's banquet are held in the same garden, with only a screen placed in the middle to separate the male and female guests.

The third prince's seat was in the middle of the top, where he could see the male guests and chat with them, and he could also see the female guests and joke with them.

As the Third Prince led the Ye family to the table, the banquet officially began. There was singing and dancing, delicious food and wine, and everyone was laughing and talking. However, Ye Yunwan's eyes could not leave the Third Prince's figure. She secretly looked forward to more exchanges with him.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the third prince stood up and walked to Ye Yunwan with a wine glass.

The third prince smiled slightly, then waved his hand, motioning the attendant beside him to come forward. The attendant respectfully walked to the third prince's side and took out an exquisite brocade box from his arms. The brocade box was inlaid with dazzling gems, emitting a dazzling light.

The third prince took the brocade box and carefully opened the lid. Inside the box was a gorgeous piece of jewelry inlaid with gemstones, shining with a charming luster. He gently picked up the jewelry, walked to Ye Yunwan, and said gently: "This is a gift I specially prepared for you, I hope you like it."

Ye Yunwan opened her eyes wide, looking at the beautiful jewelry in front of her, her heart filled with surprise and emotion. She took the jewelry, carefully examined every detail of it, and felt the unique charm it exuded.

"Thank you, Third Prince." Ye Yunwan said softly, tears flashing in her eyes. She knew that this gift was not only a precious item, but also represented the Third Prince's deep affection for her.

When the people around saw this scene, they all exclaimed in admiration.

Many people present began to whisper, their eyes focused on the set of jewel jewelry that the Third Prince gave to Ye Yunwan. Various expressions appeared on their faces, some were envious, some were jealous, and some were pure appreciation.

"Wow, this set of jewelry is so beautiful!" a young woman exclaimed softly.

"Yes, look at this sapphire, it's crystal clear, just like the heart of the ocean." Another woman echoed.

"I heard that these gems were tributes from foreign countries and they are very valuable." Someone interrupted.

"The Third Prince is so generous that he actually gave Ye Yunwan such an expensive gift. It seems that the rumors that the Third Prince has a poor family background and is petty are just empty talk. If this is not that person, he would not be so thoughtful." Someone else said.

Amid the discussions of the group, Ye Yunwan became the focus of everyone's attention.

She stood there quietly with a smile on her lips, seemingly not caring about anything around her.

Only she knew that the Third Prince gave her such precious jewelry today, which also represented her position in the Third Prince's heart, which could not be shaken by those questionable people.

The gifts have been given, the attitude has been made clear, and the face has been restored. Then, as long as he can win the heart of the woman in front of him, the power of the Ye family will definitely still be his. The third prince thought to himself, and the smile on his face became even gentler.

"Miss Ye, can you accompany me for a walk?" The third prince said with a smile.

Ye Yunwan's heart beat faster. She nodded with a red face, stood up and followed the third prince out of the banquet hall.

In the courtyard, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the two of them. The third prince coughed lightly, breaking the silence.

"Miss Ye, in addition to hosting a banquet for everyone today, there is one more thing I want to explain to you."

Ye Yunwan raised her head, her eyes full of anticipation.

"I think you must have heard some rumors about me, but it is not my intention to marry the cousin of the general's mansion. I hope you don't misunderstand me." The third prince said in a serious tone.

In fact, before the Third Prince finished speaking, Ye Yunwan had already thrown away her desire for an explanation. In her opinion, the Third Prince was willing to explain to her, which meant that he had her in his heart, so nothing else mattered.

Ye Yunwan shyly shook her head and said softly, "Your Highness, there is no need to explain. I know everything."

Seeing her like this, the Third Prince felt relieved. He took her into his arms and softened his voice and said, "You have to go and talk to Lord Ye about this matter. I hope Lord Ye doesn't have any misunderstandings about me." The Third Prince looked at Ye Yunwan and continued, "Wan'er, you will definitely be my principal wife in the future. We must be of one mind to go further."

Ye Yunwan was delighted when she heard this. She still remembered the anger and hatred she had felt when she heard that the Third Prince went to the General's Mansion to propose marriage.

I only heard her voice become more and more weak and shy: "Yes."

All of this was seen clearly by Tang Peipei and Ye Yunshu, who had not seen each other for a long time and wanted to hide away to reminisce about the past.

Ye Yunshu shook his head helplessly and pulled Tang Peipei away.

I really don't want to see my own half sister doing something stupid.
