Chapter 403: Urging Marriage
In this Hall of Eternal Life, all the important ministers of the court, and there are no female dependents, Ji Ruhuan is a special existence, but no one dares to say anything, and he is not qualified to say anything.
The emperor's face is still a little sallow, he looks much older than before, but his spirit is not bad, looking at Dugu Chiyan and Ji Ruhuan, his face is full of joy, and he said with a smile, "It can be regarded as looking forward to you coming back, what is the situation over there in Xixia?"
Dugu Chi Yan responded, "Everything is in order, don't worry about it for the time being." β
I have long been accustomed to Dugu Chi Yan speaking short and silent, and the emperor is also very helpless, so he has to look at Ji Ruhuan beside Du Gu Chi Yan.
"You girl, is Xixia so fun? I don't know if I'm back. β
Ji Ruhuan responded with a smile, "Of course it's fun, this line is interesting, when the palace banquet is over, I'll tell you more." β
After hearing Ji Ruhuan's words, she understood that she didn't want to talk about it at the banquet anymore, so the emperor didn't ask any more questions and changed the topic.
This reception banquet can be described as a joy for the monarchs and ministers, and it took about an hour and a half before it dispersed.
Originally, the emperor wanted to pull Ji Ruhuan to talk about their trip to Western Xia, but seeing that Ji Ruhuan seemed to be a little tired, he understood that they didn't have time to return home when they came back, and it was too late, so he let them out of the palace first, and let them come to the palace at noon tomorrow to meet them.
Ji Ruhuan took the Nine Emperor Uncles and followed his father and brothers back to the Zhenguo Mansion, but he didn't want the people in the mansion to wait for them before they slept.
Welcoming them into the house, thinking that it was too late for them to travel all the way, he only exchanged a few words of greeting, and then went back to his residence.
The Shen family still prepared the guest house for Dugu Chiyan alone, and specially arranged people to serve them.
Dugu Chiyan was very helpless, he asked himself if he was still a polite person, before he married Ji Ruhuan, he naturally would not be rude to Ruhuan.
It's just that in the end, the two have already had a skin-to-skin relationship because of an accident, and they are a little more intimate than the fiancΓ©e next to them.
I don't want to be guarded by my future mother-in-law like this, but fortunately, it won't be long before he will marry Ruhuan, after all, Ruhuan and himself are not young.
After the Midyear Festival, Ruhuan is already eighteen years old, and there are very few girls who are not married at this age.
Of course, it's not nothing, for example, Princess Xinyi, who is good with Ruhuan, is also about the same age as Ruhuan, and she will also get married at the end of this month.
Originally, the Wang family had long wanted to marry someone back, but unfortunately Princess Xinyi insisted on waiting for Ruhuan to come back, which was delayed until the end of August.
There is another exception, that is, the county lord of Huining, whose reputation in Kyoto is now ruined, coupled with the loss of power of her mother, the eldest princess, and her father's Yu family, this family with a little status in Beijing will not consider having such a daughter-in-law.
Of course, in the end, it is the identity of a county lord, and it is not that he can't get married, the ordinary people or the poor students who want to take shortcuts, and those who want to climb the high branches are not nothing, but it is a pity that the eldest princess still feels sorry for this only daughter, and she can't look down on it, and after a long time, no one cares about it.
However, the county lord of Huining himself is still obsessed with Wang Qi, who has already made a marriage with Princess Xinyi, and thinks about how to snatch Wang Qi back all day long, almost to the point of being a little obsessed.
Saying goodbye to the Nine Emperor Uncles for a while, Ji Ruhuan went back to the Lingering Pavilion by herself, and Qingju waited for Ji Ruhuan to change clothes and wash, and told Ji Ruhuan all kinds of gossip news when she was not in Kyoto.
"Don't you know how shameless the county lord of Huining is, as long as Wang Gongzi goes out, she can try her best to get to Wang Gongzi and try to seduce Wang Gongzi, but every time she is ridiculed by Wang Gongzi so miserably. β
Ji Ruhuan replied lazily, "We're going to get married, she hasn't been settled, and it's not a problem, you go and inquire to see if there is a daughter-in-law in our house who has never been able to marry a daughter-in-law, and I don't dislike the guards of the county lord of Huining." β
Qingju was stunned, frowned and responded, "Miss, aren't you harming the guards in our house." β
Ji Ruhuan looked at Qingju and sighed, "You've been with me for so long, why are you still so stupid, Qingmei, you can do it." β
Qingju looked at Ji Ruhuan aggrievedly, "Miss......"
Ji Ruhuan had no choice but to respond, "You assist Qingmei." β
Qingju instantly smiled and said, "Okay young lady." β
Early the next morning, Dugu Chiyan came to the Lingering Pavilion and was warmly welcomed in by Qiu's mother.
Ji Ruhuan had just packed up and went out, and when he saw the Nine Emperor Uncles, he asked curiously, "Aren't you going to the court?"
Dugu Chi Yan responded, "What dynasty do I have no official or position?"
The corners of Ji Ruhuan's mouth twitched, well, it seems that this is indeed the case.
After breakfast together, the two of them went to Mrs. Ji's courtyard, where the daughters of the Ji family were all there, and welcomed the two warmly.
For this grandson-in-law with an extraordinary identity, the more Mrs. Ji looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and when she saw the two of them coming together, the folds on her smiling face deepened a little.
Old Madam Ji said with a smile, "You are all young, since you are all back, hurry up and pick an auspicious day for the zodiac and get married early." β
These words are just in the heart of Dugu Chi Yan, and he hurriedly answered, "The younger generation also has this intention, but the younger generation has not experienced this matter, and there are many unknown places, and I need to ask the elders to mention more." β
Old Madam Ji replied with a smile, "Of course, Shen, you hurry up, Ruhuan's dowry is also prepared as soon as possible, okay, send a list over, I want to see it." β
Shen Shi replied, "Okay, mother. β
Dugu Chiyan, who is usually cold-faced and rarely talkative, is rare to be gentle and polite in front of the elders and daughters of the Ji family, and the elders who are asked must be answered, and the elders who coax are smiling, and the more they look at it, the more they like it, and they can't wait to marry Ji Ruhuan out immediately.
The old lady Ji was even more happy, and insisted on leaving the two of them to have lunch together in her courtyard, and only when someone came to the palace to urge the two to enter the palace, the old lady let the two leave.
The two followed the people from the palace into the palace, and they were directly taken to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
When the emperor saw the two of them, he said with a calm face, "It's really not easy to invite you into the palace, it's almost getting dark, and I have to send someone to invite you." β
Ji Ruhuan said helplessly, "Your Majesty, we don't want to, but my grandmother won't let me go, I have to thank Your Majesty, if you don't send someone to invite, we estimate that we can't get out of my grandmother's yard now." β
The emperor looked at Ji Ruhuan's appearance, and then reprimanded, "Why, you are not happy to accompany the elders more?"
Ji Ruhuan thought about the topic when she accompanied her elders, so she had a big face, pulled the Nine Emperor Uncles to sit down in the vacant seat next to her unceremoniously, and then complained to the emperor, "Your Majesty, don't you know, what did my grandmother talk about all morning, I have not decided on the matter of marrying the Nine Emperor Uncles, they first talked about the dowry for an hour, and then the wedding dress, what fabric to use to invite what embroidery girl to help the hour, and then the jewelry, with what material is half an hour." β
