There was originally a small garden behind the yard where Gu Yuelan lived. Because she liked to wield swords and sticks, she pulled out all the flowers and plants and turned it into a martial arts training ground.

The martial arts training ground is not very big, but it has all kinds of weapons including swords, guns, sticks and clubs. There is also a temporary stable built against the west wall, with two ponies in it.

"Isn't the little pony cute? Do you two want to ride it for a ride?"

Yan Muxi and Yan Muyun waved their hands at the same time. Not to mention how big the sun was above their heads at the moment, the foal was not much taller than them and was so cute that they were reluctant to ride it.

After seeing the foal, Gu Yuelan showed off her favorite weapons one by one. She played with each one a few times and still felt unsatisfied after finishing the whole round.

"If my grandmother and mother hadn't stopped me from practicing martial arts, I would definitely be much more powerful than I am now!"

"The county princess is already very powerful, extremely powerful. There is no woman more powerful than the county princess in the entire Luodu City, no, in the entire Dafeng." Yan Muxi praised her every day.

"Of course, I am Gu Yuelan, the only legitimate daughter of the Dingbei Marquis' Gu family. Who can be better than me?"

Under the hot sunlight, the sweaty girl smiled brightly and freely.

Yan Muxi suddenly felt a little sad. Once Gu Yuelan entered the Eastern Palace, she was afraid that she would never see such a carefree smile again!

Near noon, the mother in Madam Gu's courtyard brought some fruits and food.

"This osmanthus cake was made by Miss Meng herself. The old lady thought it tasted very good, so she specially asked the old servant to bring it to the young ladies to have a taste." Mother Lin placed a box of cakes in front of the three people.

Gu Yuelan picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth. "Oh, it's so choking. I'm afraid Meng Yuan put the candy in the cake!"

Although her remarks were somewhat exaggerated, they were not meant to be nitpicking. Yan Muxi and Yan Muyun also brought biscuits and pastries, and specifically asked the small kitchen to prepare them early in the morning.

The freshly baked new-style pastries taste a hundred times better than the greasy sweet osmanthus cake.

Gu Yuelan swallowed the cake in her mouth with difficulty, and told the maid beside her, "Quickly pack a portion of these cookies and bread, and let Mama Lin take them to grandma to taste, so that she can know what delicious food is."

Mother Lin smiled and refused, "Don't bother. The servants of the Yan Mansion also sent these cakes to Xiangjuyuan. Everyone has different tastes. The old lady probably doesn't like these novel things. She only likes osmanthus cakes."

Gu Yuelan picked up a cookie and put it in her mouth. "Grandma's taste is really weird. How could she not like such a delicious pastry?"

Yan Muyun shook her head and smiled bitterly. It wasn't that Madam Gu didn't like new-style pastries; it was clearly the people she disliked.

It's not enough to humiliate her once, but he keeps humiliating her again and again. How much does he despise her?

The bad relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is even more terrible than the discord between husband and wife. She originally planned to believe Gu Yunting and wait and see.

Now it seems that I'd better forget it. A forced melon is not sweet, and an inappropriate marriage is even less likely to be sweet.

"Miss, you should eat less cakes. It's hard to digest if you eat too much. We'll have to have a feast when Master Jiu comes back from the palace."

As soon as Mother Lin finished speaking, a servant working in the front yard ran into the yard at a rapid pace.

"Master Jiu is back, and he has brought an eunuch to deliver his imperial edict. Ladies, hurry to the front yard to receive his order!"

Receiving the imperial edict was a big deal, so Gu Yuelan hurriedly stood up and walked out, not forgetting to turn back and tell Yan Muxi and the others, "Wait for me, I'll be back soon."

Unexpectedly, the servant said, "Master Jiu said that Miss Yan should be invited to receive the decree together."

Yan Muxi and Yan Muyun looked at each other tacitly, and both saw doubt in each other's eyes.

When Yan Muxi and his companions arrived in front of the screen wall in the front yard, almost all the masters and mistresses of Dingbei Marquis' Mansion had arrived.

Gu Yunting stood in front of the crowd. When he saw a few people coming, he just glanced at them and then looked away. He did not go out of his way to look at Yan Mujun.

On the way here, Yan Muyun was still wondering, could it be that Gu Yunting had asked for an imperial decree to grant marriage? That's why he specifically asked her to come along to listen to the decree.

Now it seems that she was thinking too much. In ancient times, marriages were decided by parents and matchmakers. No matter how much Gu Yunting liked a woman, he would not marry her home despite the opposition of his elders.

Besides, Gu Yunting didn't like her either. He agreed to be responsible for her only out of responsibility, and there was no possibility that he would bother to make plans for her.

After waiting for a while, the old Marquis Dingbei was also carried over by the servants.

Due to an injury he suffered when he was young, Marquis Dingbei has been unable to move freely for several years. Now he is relying on good medical treatment and good medicine to survive.

After the servants helped Marquis Dingbei to kneel down, he ordered the eunuch to read the imperial edict.

"The Emperor decrees that Gu Yunting, the ninth son of Dingbei Marquis, is brave and good at fighting, and has won many battles. He is an outstanding man of Dafeng. Yan Muyun, the third daughter of the Yan family, is in her prime, with outstanding appearance, gentleness and virtue. The two are a perfect match made in heaven, and I hereby grant them a marriage contract. Choose an auspicious day to get married as soon as possible!"

"I thank Your Majesty for his grace!" Gu Yunting took the imperial edict calmly.

The eunuch looked at Yan Muyun and said, "It just so happens that Miss Yan San is here too, so we don't have to make an extra trip to the Minister's Residence. Miss Yan San, please accept the order!"

Yan Muyun didn't come back to his senses until the imperial edict was read again.

Although she heard it twice, she still couldn't believe that she was married to Gu Yunting.

Such an important life event that concerns one's entire life has been decided just like this?

She took the imperial edict with a confused look on her face, and subconsciously wanted to open it and take a closer look, but was suddenly pushed to the ground by Yan Muxi beside her.

"Third sister, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and thank me. You will lose your head if you disrespect Long En." Yan Muxi reminded in a low voice.

Yan Muyun's heart trembled, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!"
