Chapter 55: Marriage Proposal
Earthquake Fort, one of the three major forts in the martial arts school, is located in the suburbs of Yasukuni Beijing ten miles away from the mirror lake, backed by mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, with an excellent geographical environment.
When Yu Chi Mufu came back from the palace, he saw the disciples around Du Qingyang waiting for him at the door, and when he saw him coming back, he stepped forward and said: "Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess came to Zhentian Castle as a guest, and now the castle master is receiving him in the flower hall." β
Prince, he has never had anything to do with Megatron Castle, so how could he suddenly come here...... And also brought Cheng Yin......
Wei Chi Mu felt strange in his heart, but he couldn't restrict others from coming to Earthquake Castle, besides, the people who came were the crown prince and the crown princess, and it was impossible for Du Qingyang to turn them away.
"Does the prince have any names who he wants to see, and why did he come to the castle?" asked Wei Chimu.
"No, it seems to be a simple visit. The disciple said, "But now that it's almost noon, does the prince go to the front hall to eat together?"
Yu Chimu smiled and said: "No, since the prince has come to the castle as a guest, he will be received by the castle owner, and it is inconvenient for this king to come forward, you go back to the Dubao lord, and this king will go back to Xiaoxiang Courtyard to rest." β
Although he has the intention of seeing Cheng Yin, it is inconvenient to have the prince in the end. However, he had heard Sister Yuya say before that the prince treated Chengyin quite well, and the two respected each other like guests. In fact, as long as Cheng Yin is doing well, he is relieved, and it is not so important whether he sees each other or not.
The disciple answered yes and hurried away. Wei Chimu also returned to his residence in Xiaoxiang Courtyard.
Xiaoxiang courtyard is planted with green bamboo, the breeze blows, the bamboo leaves rustle, quite a bit of poetry.
In the past half a month, without Chi Xiaoman by his side, he felt that life was very boring. Although his father summoned him every one or two days, he was now bored with discussing these court affairs. It's not as interesting as going on a tour with Chi Xiaoman.
After all the unbearable things in the past, he is not the same as before. At the age of fifteen. He is young and vigorous, and he has indeed been a little high-spirited because of his intelligence, although he has no intention of competing with the imperial brother for the position of the crown prince, but in the eyes of outsiders, his appearance is probably for the position of the prince.
Who can understand that he only hopes that Yasukuni will be strong and prosperous, not for his own fame and fortune......
Simply using the food from the kitchen, he sat down in front of the bookcase. I took a piece of rice paper, thought carefully for a while, and drew a portrait of a woman in front of the court, which was delicate and a little eccentric.
Thinking about it, I felt that something was missing, and wrote down: "The small garden is difficult to close in spring, and the garden is full of flowers and plants." β
Look at the portrait. The corners of his lips curled unconsciously. I'm going to Qilin Villa tomorrow to propose, and thinking of this, my heart is surrounded by a sense of happiness.
"The third brother is really interested, and he writes poems and paintings here. Let it be easy to find for a brother. β
The voice from the front of the door made Wei Chimu smile, put the painting on the case, stepped forward and said, "The third brother has seen the eldest brother. β
"Didn't the third brother see that your sister-in-law is also here?" said Yu Chihao with a smile on his face. But the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.
"The third brother has seen my sister-in-law. Wei Chimu looked at Cheng Yin and said a little rusty.
Cheng Yin's heart twisted. Embarrassedly replied: "King Huai'an doesn't need to be polite. She didn't expect that the person Yu Chihao brought her here to meet would be him......
"King Huai'an? You and the third brother shouldn't be so unfamiliar, right?" said Yu Chi Hao with a smile.
"Your Highness, according to the etiquette, the concubine should be called so. Cheng Yin lowered her eyes, although her voice was flat, only she knew, and when she said this, her throat was as uncomfortable as a thorn.
She didn't understand, why did the prince, who usually treated her gently, say such a thing? She and Yu Chimu had already passed, if he cared about the past between them, why did he marry her in the first place?
"Yin'er of this palace is really knowledgeable. Yu Chihao deliberately hugged Cheng Yin's shoulders tightly in front of Yu Chimu.
Looking at Cheng Yin's somewhat embarrassed and forbearant expression, Wei Chimu felt a little sad in his heart. Could it be that the news he heard from Yuya's sister was wrong? Cheng Yin's life in the Prince's Mansion...... Is it really good?
He couldn't hide the guilt in his heart for her, it was because of his relationship that the prince took advantage of her.
But no matter what she said, she is now her sister-in-law, and he sincerely hopes that she and the prince can get along well. The relationship between him and her in the past will only be a relationship that can become a memory.
"I don't know what the eldest brother and sister-in-law have to do when they come to Earthquake Fort to find the third brother?" Wei Chi Mu looked away at Cheng Yin's gaze, and asked Yu Chi Hao with a light smile.
"It's nothing important, just to see the third brother, there are not many opportunities for our brothers to meet in the palace, my father always summons you privately......" Wei Chihao changed his words and said: "I thought that the third brother had a very strong relationship with the Chengguang brothers and sisters before, so I specially brought Yin'er to meet you for my brother." β
"Thank you, big brother. Wei Chimu said lightly: "The third brother has been busy with marriage recently, and he has not been able to go to the prince's mansion to talk to the eldest brother well, it is the younger brother's negligence. β
"That's very good, when you want to see Chengguang, take Yin'er with you, Yin'er hasn't been back to Shangshu Mansion for a few days. Wei Chihao said. He glanced at Cheng Yin, she always lowered her head, but the corner of her eye was aimed at Yu Chimu from time to time.
He sneered in his heart, this woman clearly did not forget her feelings for Wei Chimu. And Yu Chi Mu saw Cheng Yin's eyes...... Is it sympathy, is it guilt, is it still some love? He couldn't be sure. But no matter what it is, as long as Yu Chimu still can't let go of Cheng Yin, he will use this opportunity to make Tianji Xingchi Xiaoman give up Yu Chimu!
"Take my sister-in-law back to Shangshu Mansion, this should be the eldest brother's business, right?" Wei Chimu thought it was funny.
"Naturally, my brother will go with me. Wei Chihao said.
Wei Chimu always felt a little strange, Cheng Yin wanted to go back to Shangshu Mansion, and the couple would just go back by themselves, why choose the time with him?
But when it came to this, it seemed unreasonable for me to blindly refuse, so I had to say: "Tomorrow, when I go to Qilin Villa to propose my relatives and come back, arrange when I will visit Chengshang Mansion, and then contact my eldest brother." β
"That's very good. Wei Chihao smiled: "Then wait for the news of the third brother." β

The Caili sent to Kirin Villa Nacai had set off four days ago, and there was a long queue. It was a carriage and a man, and hundreds of boxes of gifts. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is going to propose marriage to the princess.
In fact, Tianji Xingchi Xiaoman is indeed a princess. It's just that she is the princess of Liuxia of the Shengxing Dynasty, and not many people know about it now.
And Wei Chimu set off the day before the proposal day, and he used light skills to catch up, but he also caught up with the team.
In the Begonia Garden of Qilin Villa, Chi Xiaoman sat like a monkey, looking at the door at three steps and five o'clock, if it wasn't for the stepmother saying that she must stay in the Begonia Garden today, and wait for someone to invite her to the front hall before she can go out, she will definitely rush to the door of the villa and wait for someone.
It's been a long time since she's seen Yu Chimu! When she used to study, she couldn't understand what it meant to "not see you for a day." like every other three autumns", now it really makes her deeply experienced.
"Miss, Miss, the prince has arrived at the villa!"
Outside the Begonia Garden, Xiaolian hurriedly and excitedly ran in, shouting as she ran.
"Really!" Chi Xiaoman just poured a cup of tea to drink, and when he heard this, he immediately put down the cup, stopped drinking the tea, and was about to run to the front hall when he lifted his skirt.
"Wait, Miss. Miss, the owner of the village hasn't asked anyone to invite Miss yet!" Xiaolian hurriedly grabbed her. Really, can't Miss be like a lady on such an important day?
"What, aren't you here to tell me to go to the front hall?" Chi Xiaoman glanced at her suspiciously.
Xiaolian twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Didn't Miss ask me to go to the front to watch, and the prince would notify you as soon as he came?"
"Oh. That's right. Xiao Man smiled and said, "So now I'm going to the front hall, la!" she walked out as she hummed a song.
How could it be possible for her to wait obediently, anyway, Wei Chi Mu knew her true nature, who would show the lady's clothes!
"No, it's not. Miss ...... "Xiaolian still feels that something is wrong, but she has no time to say anything. Seeing that the person in front of him was gone, "Missβwait for me!"
οΌ
Vestibule. In the hall, hundreds of boxes of gifts could not be carried into the hall at all. Wei Chi Mu ordered the first few boxes to be carried into the hall, and the rest were placed in the front of the hall first, and then handed the gift list to Guan Nanping.
There are thousands of items on a long scroll of gift lists, many of which are precious treasures and antiques, and at least half of them are gifts from the emperor.
Guan Nanping and his wife looked at this kind of battle, although it meant that the emperor was quite heavy and a celestial star, but they were a little uneasy in their hearts.
"Mu!"
Before anyone is seen, the sound comes first.
Yu Chimu turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and saw a pink figure rushing into his arms.
"Mu, I haven't seen you for so many days, do you miss me?" Chi Xiaoman asked with his head in his arms.
Although Xiaolian has long been surprised by some of the shocking behaviors of the young lady, she is holding a man in public like this...... She's so shy that she can't lift her head!
Everyone in the villa was dumbfounded, and Miss was too ...... What's that?
The owner of the village looked embarrassed, and his old face was a little red, but Mrs. Guan smiled at Mimi, and she didn't think there was anything to make a fuss about, and she thought it was good for Xiaoman to be like this.
"Xiao Man...... Go and sit next to her first!" Wei Chimu also wanted to hug her well and say something intimate, but now is not the right time!
Chi Xiaoman pouted, it was really boring to talk about these etiquettes or something, she thought that he was almost lovesick these days, and he was so cold to her when she met.
Mrs. Guan lovingly pulled Chi Xiaoman and took her to see the gifts sent by Yu Chimu. The chief steward and bookkeeper of the cottage have already led the people to count the gifts on the gift list.
"Oh, half of it was rewarded by the emperor?" Chi Xiaoman looked at the gift list, and a sneer overflowed the corner of his lips.
"Xiaoman, my mother is a little worried...... Will you and the King of Huai'an get into trouble because of this? Mrs. Guan did not hide her worries.
"Mother, even if there is no reward from the emperor, the emperor's attention to Tianji Star will also cause trouble, I think some people will not be able to bear it and take action. I don't know if the other party will want to deal with me, or Wei Chimu. From the officials who wanted to visit her in these days, she guessed that the crown prince or the five princes who were unusually handsome but not very like Emperor Jinglie, which one, or both, would take action against her and Yu Chimu.
