Xue Fengyan deeply regretted that he didn't let them also comprehend Chu Qianchen's contemptuous eyes.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Everyone looked at each other in amazement.

After the emperor's marriage decree came down, Chu Qianchen's reactions made them feel unexpected again and again.

If it were these people who were there, no matter what they did for the sake of the prince, even if it was to be a hostage or to give their lives, they would not hesitate.

But Chu Qianchen is different.

She is just an irrelevant boudoir woman, but she can stand in the position of King Chen's mansion, everything is in the interests of the prince, she doesn't care about her own gains and losses, and she is calm and rational so that they feel admired by this group of big men, and at the same time make them a little unbearable and embarrassed.

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and Su Mubai said while leisurely fanning the folding fan: "Tomorrow, the Internal Affairs Mansion will go to the Hou Mansion to be hired, right?" ”

The next appointment is a big decision, and it also means that both men and women have to officially sign the marriage letter.

Qin Yao's flying pigeon biography said that the prince would probably not be able to return to the Nanyang military camp in a few days, so it must be too late to wait for the prince to make a decision.

Cheng Linhua replied casually "yes", with a solemn expression, and slowly stroked his beard.

He knew that the prince would not like Chu Qianchen's decision.

What kind of person is the prince, they know best, the prince feels that his life is not long, since last year, he has been arranging a back road for the Beidi Army and the people of the Chenwang Mansion, with the character of the prince, he will not want to marry a wife at this time......

"Let's just get ready first." Su Mubai slapped Cheng Linhua with a smile, and his casual appearance was like a smiling fox.

The meaning of his words is very clear, and the Chenwang Mansion recognizes this family business.

The others looked at each other again, dumbfounded.

Since the emperor gave the marriage, they have been thinking about this marriage all these days.

Ask yourself, they don't have any opinions on Chu Qianchen, she should be a princess who is very suitable for King Chen's mansion.

Yun Zhan also touched a peanut from Xue Fengyan's plate, "I think the second girl of Chu should also be willing to marry our prince." ”

"......" Xue Fengyan gave him a roll of the eyes, which was the peanut that he had only rubbed after several contemptuous glances from Chu Qianchen.

Cheng Hualin was still a little hesitant, but when he heard Yun Zhan say it, that hesitation disappeared.

Also, their prince is still very good, and he is definitely a good son-in-law.

When the princess heals the princess, in a few years, she will have another child......

Cheng Hualin has already sketched a bright future in his heart, and if he is not careful, his soul will fly out of the sky.

Yun Zhan and Xue Fengyan exchanged glances with each other.

Among the people present, the two of them were the ones who had the most contact with Chu Qianchen, and they could probably see that Chu Qianchen's expression when he looked at the prince was a little more admiration and worship.

She attaches great importance to the prince, and even loves the house and Wu, and even takes care of the queen mother.

Chu Qianchen has done so much for the prince, and they also saw it, and gradually felt that Su Mubai's proposal was not unavoidable......

Cheng Linhua made up his mind and said, "Okay, let's get ready first." ”

When the prince returns to the camp, if he refuses to marry, at most he will prepare in vain; But if the prince responds, the wedding will not be too deserted.

Most of the people here still respect Su Mubai and Cheng Linhua, and when they heard this, everyone else nodded one after another. Anyway, they originally thought that this family business was not bad.

The corners of Su Mubai's lips hooked, and said with a smile: "I want Brother Lao Cheng to take care of it for the prince." ”

Cheng Linhua was very excited, saying things like "where, where", "this is what I should be".

He almost thought that he would never have the opportunity to prepare for the wedding of the prince in his life.

There are so many things to do next, and I haven't prepared for the wedding at all, I have to paint the house, decorate the new house, and place invitations......

Thinking about it, Cheng Linhua couldn't sit still.

The atmosphere in the hall was relaxed.

Now that they have made a decision, they don't think about it anymore, and talk about the prince's wedding, what kind of gift they should back up.

Everyone spoke lively, and they were all in high spirits.

Su Mubai calmly fanned the fan, and a fine light flashed under his eyes.

In fact, it is not impossible to resolve the current impasse.

The emperor has always been suspicious, and this point has been exerted to the extreme in the prince's body, as long as there is a little wind and grass in the palace of the king of Chen, it will attract excessive speculation from the emperor.

As long as the Chenwang Mansion behaves warmly towards Chu Qianchen and behaves more positively about this marriage, with the emperor's character, he will definitely be suspicious, and he will wonder if this marriage is the prince calculating him.

In this way, the emperor will naturally solve this impasse himself.

However, Su Mubai did not do so.

In his opinion, there is nothing bad about this marriage.

The prince's injury is already very serious, before they met Chu Qianchen, they had invited many famous doctors to the prince in the north, and most of them said that the prince was afraid that he would only be able to last until next year at most.

However, since Chu Qianchen appeared, the prince's injury was under control.

After all, this is an old life-threatening disease, and it would definitely be best if the prince could always have a miracle doctor by his side.

With the current situation, even if Chu Qianchen can come over to see a doctor from time to time, but women always have to get married, as the daughter of Chu Qianchen's Marquis Mansion, it is impossible to marry a peddler pawn, after she gets married, can she still come and go freely and come to the palace at will?

But if she marries the prince, it will be different.

This is his selfishness.

However, everything still depends on the meaning of the prince, so he did not stop Han Yuchu from going to the northwest to find the prince and Qin Yao......

The smile on Su Mubai's lips deepened a little, and even his eyes narrowed slightly.

Xue Fengyan laughed at Su Mubai's fox in his eyes, and his heart felt a chill, and the hairs on his arms stood upside down, and he said secretly: This heartless fox doesn't know what he's calculating again.

Su Mubai was keenly aware of something, glanced at Xue Fengyan with a smile, and instructed the little servant: "Go and prepare a jar of champion red and a few side dishes for Captain Xue." ”

Xue Fengyan's eyes lit up, he had been following Chu Qianchen these days, and he hadn't drunk for several days.

His wine worm attacked, and immediately put Fang Cai's momentary thoughts behind him, and thought about it in a broken jar: Anyway, everything Su Mubai planned was for the good of the prince.

Su Mubai looked at Xue Fengyan, who was about to drool, and couldn't help laughing.

There is a kind of person who is born with a sharp instinct, like a beast in the mountains and forests.

Xue Fengyan is probably the best of them, relying on intuition to follow the prince, relying on intuition to escape death on the battlefield......

This time, it seems that even Xue Fengyan's intuition thinks that this family business can be done.

Su Mubai's mood has changed again.

He is actually only seventy or eighty percent sure about this matter.

The purpose of Wang Ye and Qin Yao's trip to the northwest is not only to clear Qin Yao's grievances, but also to control the northwest in one fell swoop, so as to connect the northwest with the north, so as to expand the advantages of King Chen's mansion.

According to his original plan, even if Han Yuchu found the prince, the prince was afraid that he would not be able to leave the northwest affairs and return to the capital immediately. Even if the prince can't say that he can't pass the book, he has a lot of room for manipulation in the capital, and he may not be able to achieve this marriage.

What he didn't expect was that Han Yuchu didn't find the prince.

Before, he had never believed in the will of heaven, but now he had a vague feeling of the will of heaven.

Su Mubai put down the folding fan in his hand, picked up the teacup and blew it gently, reminding him casually: "Brother Cheng, even if you want to prepare for marriage, don't make it too grand, just do it in moderation." ”

The Three Books and Six Rites have their own Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites to do their work, and there is no need for the Chenwang Mansion to intervene again, he is reminding Cheng Linhua not to get involved in the matter of tomorrow's appointment by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. So as not to be self-defeating.

Cheng Linhua was still thinking about some matters that needed to be arranged, and when Su Mubai said this, it was as if he had poured a bucket of cold water on his head.

"I understand." He quickly calmed down, nodded, and decided to put aside the invitation and the bridal offer in advance.

Forced by the situation, he can only temporarily wronged the future princess.

While the two were talking, the aroma of wine overflowed, and the little guy was red.

Yun Zhan and the others were also aroused by the tempting aroma of wine, and they also begged for wine to eat, and when it was Xue Fengyan's turn, there was only one cup left.

He had just taken a sip, and after seeing Su Mubai take a sip of tea, his eyes looked at him again.

"Xue Fengyan, you still stay in the Hou Mansion, if you can, ask Second Miss Chu if she has any opinion on this arrangement?" Su Mubai smiled gently, but what he thought in his heart was, if Chu Qianchen didn't agree or wanted to stop before the wedding, then should he be moved by affection, or sold miserably?

Judging from Yun Zhan and Xue Fengyan's words, as long as the prince moves out, it should be very possible to persuade Chu Qianchen.

Xue Fengyan was reluctant to give up the wine in his hand, and drank it all in one gulp, then wiped the corners of his mouth with his cuffs and left again.

Before the sun set, Xue Fengyan returned to the Hou Mansion unconsciously.

After he learned the bird call twice, Amber understood and called Chu Qianchen to the small study again.

The sky outside was dark, and the courtyard and the small study were lit up.

Xue Fengyan, who was still missing his champion red, was a little absent-minded and said what Su Mubai meant.

As a result, Chu Qianchen's disdainful eyes were ushered in again.

The same words are still written in the eyes: I know that you are useless.

Xue Fengyan: "......"

He regretted it, he knew that he should have let Yun Zhan top his errand, wouldn't it be fragrant for him to drink his champion red in the palace?

However, everyone else is here, shouldn't they defend them a few words, so as not to lose the face of the prince?

He was thinking wildly, when a respectful and slightly dull female voice came from outside the small study: "Girl, your clothes have been changed, do you want to try it now?" ”

There is a little problem with the clothes to be worn for the big gift tomorrow, so Shen hurried to the needlework room to change it, and the needlework room did not dare to be careless, so it was changed overnight and finally changed it now.

Xue Fengyan couldn't wait to leave quickly, his big palm casually propped up on the window sill, and his body flew out like a roc spreading its wings, almost fleeing in the wilderness.

Chu Qianchen looked at his back and shook his head, opened the curtain and went out.

After she went out, she tried on the changed clothes again, and even Gu Zhiyan ran to see her change her clothes with great interest and applauded her.

That night, Gu Zhiyan slept in the wing room of Wanyan Courtyard, and it was Chu Qianchen who lit Gu Zhiyan with a soothing incense and personally coaxed her to sleep.

This night, Gu Zhiyan didn't wake up all night, and slept until dawn.

Even the nurse had a rare good night's sleep, and she was very surprised.

Since their county lord suffered from absence, he always had to keep the lamp on all night when he went to sleep, and he was often awakened by nightmares once or twice in the middle of the night.

Chu Qianchen and Gu Zhiyan had breakfast in the main courtyard, and Chu Yunmu also dined with them, today was Chu Qianchen's big day, so the Shen family was extra kind and let Chu Yunmu not have to go to the clan school.

Before the time came, Chu Yunmu couldn't hold it back, and kept calling the little maid to go to the front to take a look, whether the person who came to hire had arrived.

The little maid ran back and forth several times, and finally brought good news on the third trip: "Here, the people hired by the Internal Affairs Office are here, and they are on Songhe Street." ”

Chu Yunmu hurriedly beckoned Shang Gu Zhiyan to go out to see the excitement, Shen Shi smiled, and also went out with Chu Qianchen.

Before they arrived at the Yimen, they heard the sound of "crackling" firecrackers coming from the direction of the gate, which was so lively.

The loud sound of firecrackers not only attracted the people of the Hou Mansion, but also attracted passers-by on the street and neighbors to come to see the excitement.

The dowry was personally brought by the prince of the Li prince and Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, and one hundred and twenty-four were sent, and the heavy dowry was piled up at the door of the ceremony, and the Chu family opened the lid of the dowry one by one for people to see.

The onlookers outside the house craned their necks curiously and looked inside.

A small chamberlain was dragging his voice to read the long list of gifts, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and jade, medicinal herbs and spices, fur materials, etc., in addition to shops, granges, houses, and 10,000 taels of silver.

In addition, the emperor also made an exception and added 20% to the prince's share, which was a heartbreaking style for his younger brother.

Some of the onlookers outside could also hear it clearly, their eyes were full of brilliance, and they were talking a lot.

"This is the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hire His Royal Highness King Chen, right? I've just counted, and it's a hundred and twenty dowry! ”

"The official family is really good to His Royal Highness King Chen."

"Yes, yes, I look at this rich dowry, I'm afraid it's a little heavier than the prince's share."

"I just saw that there was a piece of Shoushan stone carved inside...... So big! ”

"That box is silver, I've never seen so much silver in my life!"

“……”

Hearing the movement outside, Prince Li and Liu Shilang exchanged a look with each other.

The emperor took such pains to let the world see that he attached great importance to King Chen's marriage and did not treat King Chen badly.

Shen's heart was uncomfortable, and his lips were tightly pursed into a straight line.

Although the ceremony of hiring was very grand, the three books and six ceremonies until the fourth ceremony were all performed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites, and the Chenwang Mansion did not ask anything from beginning to end.

Thinking of the previous royal palace governor Shi who had made a fuss in the Jinluan Palace for this marriage, Shen felt as if he had pressed a boulder in his heart, and he was uncomfortable.

No matter what King Chen's current condition is, King Chen's Mansion is acting like this, which must also represent King Chen's attitude.

If it goes on like this, will the people of King Chen's Mansion not even come forward when welcoming relatives!

So, Chu Qianchen married to the palace, is there still a good life?!

This was felt by the Shen family, and the other people in the Hou Mansion such as Mrs. Tai naturally felt it too, with different expressions.

Some people frowned and were displeased, feeling that this family business was not pleasing to both ends; Some people gloat; Some people are worried; Some people were also angry at Chu Qianchen, casting disgusted glances at her from time to time.

Shen felt uncomfortable in his heart, but his face was still silent, he treated the guests decently, and greeted Prince Li and his party to the main hall of the outer courtyard.

Next, the two parties have to set a wedding date and make a marriage letter.

As Shen walked, he pondered in his heart: In the dowry for Sister Chen, there are still more tangible things such as gold and silver shops. King Chen is not a violent person, Sister Chen'er married in the past, at most she was treated coldly, she had more silver to her side, and the future would not be too bad.

A group of people went to the direction of the main hall, and some of the subordinates stayed at the gate to check the dowry with the people of the Internal Affairs Office.

Chu Qianhuang slowed down and landed behind, looking at Shen's elegant back for a while, and looking at Chu Qianchen for a while.

Chu Qianchen was wearing a purple dress embroidered with butterflies and peony flowers, and the purple material was very provocative, lining her skin as white and moist as pearls.

She walked unhurriedly, her dress rippling like water as she went, and her steps were graceful and light.

The breeze blew, the rain fell all over the sky, and the fragrance of flowers with a slight smell of firecrackers and gunpowder filled the air.

That strange smell lingered on the tip of Chu Qianhuang's nose, so rich, so dull, it made it difficult for her to breathe, and the whole person couldn't breathe.

The sun was shining brightly at the moment, but she felt as if she was walking under a heavy cloud.

Why?!

Why no matter how humble Chu Qianchen is, she can still have some glory and enjoy some honor.

Even if King Chen is going to die soon, Chu Qianchen is also the princess, and in terms of grade, he is even higher than the third aunt, the princess of the county.

Not like yourself......

Every time he remembered the scene in his dream, Chu Qianhuang felt as if his heart had been stabbed again and again, and the hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, and the tighter he clenched.

She walked more and more slowly, and her eyes were as deep as an ancient well.

She couldn't know more that once the truth is revealed, she will be left with nothing.

Those who once pleased her will despise her;

the close friends who had been friends with her and alienated her;

I can't even settle the family affair......

She must not go down the path of her dreams.

Since her family can't help her, she will find a way out for herself!

In the middle of his thoughts, Chu Qianhuang stepped into the main hall with everyone.

In the center of the hall, there is a red sandalwood carved claw pattern answer case, and on both sides are a row of red sandalwood circle chairs, and everyone has sat down according to their status.

The huge hall suddenly became crowded.

Prince Li just wanted to finish his errand and leave as soon as possible, so he took out the two marriage books depicting Jin Luanfeng, and an old lady from the Internal Affairs Office took them, spread out the two marriage books written in advance, and placed them side by side on the case.

Then, the old lady read the contents of the marriage book unhurriedly:

"Happy today's Jiali is the beginning of the ceremony, and the good fate is ......"

The format of the marriage book is generally similar, most of them are written with similar "white head forever", "flower good moon", "suitable room IKEA" and so on, followed by the order of male left and female right, but also write the names of both men and women, birth dates, ancestors of three generations, etc.

The old lady had already memorized the marriage book well, and while "reading", her eyes quietly glanced at Chu Qianchen and Lan Ruo behind her.

Lan Ruo, who was originally low-eyed and pleasing to the eye, seemed to feel something, looked up at the old woman, and nodded slightly.

As if to say, everything is fine.

The old lady retracted her gaze with satisfaction, and her heart was relieved: Very good, it seems that Lan Ruo has trained Chu Qianchen well, and she can go back to tell the queen mother.

As long as they can help the queen hold Chu Qianchen, and in the future, Chu Qianchen will quietly deliver the news from King Chen's mansion, and the emperor will definitely take credit for the queen.

They are all the queen's people, and the more noble the queen, the better their lives can be.

After the old lady finished reading the marriage letter, she took two steps back to the side and gave up the position in front of the case to the Shen family.

Marriage events, parents' orders, matchmakers' words.

Although Chu Qianchen is one of the protagonists of this marriage book, there is no room for her to interject and put her beak here, and the marriage book is confirmed and stamped by the Shen family.

After that, the two copies were taken by Prince Li and sent to the Chenwang Mansion, while the other copy was left in the Chu family and kept by the Shen family.

And so ends today's gift.

Prince Li, Liu Shilang and his entourage left in a majestic manner, and the chief steward of the Hou Mansion hurriedly helped to send off the guests.

The other people in the various rooms of the Hou Mansion also dispersed one after another, and no one even ran to congratulate Chu Qianchen, quite a kind of eagerness to "avoid it".

In this regard, Chu Qianchen didn't mind, and Shen didn't mind either.

Shen looked at the marriage book in his hand, still thinking about the next two ceremonies.

Although this marriage has the emperor's decree to give marriage, the specific date of the wedding will still be calculated by Qin Tianjian, and the most suitable auspicious day before and after the wedding date will be selected as the wedding date.

Time is running out.

Shen handed the big red gold wedding book in her hand to Chu Qianchen, "Sister Chen, you can keep this marriage book by yourself." ”

Chu Qianchen took it over easily, originally wanting to pass it on to Amber again, but when her eyes fell on the two names written on the marriage book, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Gu Jue.

Chu Qianchen.

She is written side by side with his name in italics.

Bang! Bang!

Her heartbeat inexplicably quickened a few times, and a burning sensation came from the tips of her ears.

Strange, obviously this marriage is just a malicious intent from the whims of the Dog Emperor, others may worship the emperor's holy decree as a god, but for her, she even overthrew the emperor in her previous life, so what's the big deal about that holy decree.
