Chapter Ninety-Five: The Bamboo Horse Asks for Marriage
This time the party was unhappily dispersed, Qin Yue didn't even go to greet the noble ladies and ladies, and went back to rest early, so the burden naturally fell on Qin Huai.
She had rarely experienced this kind of scene before, but now she can be regarded as practicing her hands before the marriage of the third emperor brother.
The day the lady sent her back to the house was taken care of, and sooner or later the main task of the wedding banquet of the third prince and Xuan paper would fall on her shoulders, and in two days she would let Qingchi instruct her on how to do this.
How could these nobles have received this kind of treatment in ordinary times, and when they saw Qin Huai personally sending them off, they couldn't wait for a quarter of an hour before they were willing to leave.
The rice paper was at the end, and she hesitated to wait for everyone to leave before appearing.
She didn't say any polite words, but just gave Qin Huai an encouraging look, and Qin Huai knew that she was kind, so he thanked her back.
Half of the time passed, and after seeing all the nobles and ladies leave, Mingyue went back to her side.
The rivalry between Princess Fangcai and Zhu Dai'er and others is still in front of her, she is really afraid that the princess will directly pinch them at that time, but fortunately, the princess is now atmospheric and did not pursue it. also won a good name in the circle of noble women, which is admirable.
"How's it going? Can anyone see how the rice paper fell into the water? ”
Qin Huai didn't squint, and watched the rice paper leave in the car.
The slave asked Miss Xuan, and Miss Xuan only said that the county lord had exclaimed that her earrings had fallen on the edge of the pond before, and she was going to let Ruoqian look for them, but Ruoqian's girl seemed to know that she was looking for something to do, so she didn't care, and was busy going to the kitchen to help. In order to avoid conflicts, Miss Xuan recommended herself to help find her, but she didn't expect someone to deliberately push her into the pool. ”
"Deliberately?"
There is no one else except Qin Yue, and it is estimated that Qin Yue also had a temporary idea, so he thought of this method, one is to prepare to blame the disobedient Ruoqian, and then bite himself, but to let the nosy rice paper suffer.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that Qin Huai's pool in this mansion looked deep enough.
"Why don't you say that the rice paper is directly identified, this also saves the trouble later, maybe even Qin Yue will be driven out of Xunyang."
It's just that Qin Huai doesn't understand, as the lord of Yunmo, Xuan Paper's status is not lower than Qin Yue, and he is also the future concubine of the third emperor brother, and he is said to be the crown princess, even if he is the queen of the dynasty, why should he give in like this.
"Miss Xuan said that she didn't see who pushed her clearly, so it was difficult to identify her at will."
Mingyue also inquired again and again at that time, but Xuan Zhi really sent her away without seeing it clearly, without the slightest intention of holding her responsible.
It may be that they have been by Qin Huai's side for a long time, and they are used to being bullied by others, and they are still a foot. Although she was grateful to Xuan Paper for believing that her master did not mean to harm others, she should not do so.
"I think she is the kindest in the whole Xunyang."
Qin Huai muttered, but he was worried about this future sister-in-law.
Now there is only one son of the three emperor brothers under the knee of the father, and the succession of the three emperor brothers is also a sure thing, but as a royal majesty, how can he only grind on one person's ears and temples in his life.
Just like the current queen, she also relied on the support of her mother's family and her unscrupulous style of action, which made her position the queen.
And a woman with a weak temperament on rice paper, with a peerless good face, will naturally not be disliked, but it is difficult to say that she will not be hated by other women.
Qin Huai was beckoning people to close the door, but he was attracted by the sudden joy.
At this time and this hour, how can anyone welcome their relatives?
I don't know which bride is on the stall of such a stupid and stupid husband's house.
Before the doors were all closed, a person rushed in like a mouse, and before the little guy who closed the door could react, the two doors directly caught the man who rushed in.
"Isn't this Chen Gongzi?"
Mingyue screamed in her ear.
Which Chen Gongzi?
As soon as this question popped up in his mind, Qin Huai hammered himself hard.
Which other Chen Gongzi can there be.
It must be Chen Silian, the only son of the military department.
This Chen Gongzi is also a popular figure in Xunyang, because her mother is the queen's aunt, so she let him enter the palace to study with the princes, Qin Huai has also seen him a few times on weekdays, and his impression of him is still a good handsome son, but it is a pity that he has a useless brain.
When I was a child, in the horse farm, other sons and nobles learned to ride horses, and she grabbed Chen Silian to hunt birds.
The lieutenants who taught horseback riding only dared to educate Chen Si, but they couldn't do anything about Qin Huai, so he also followed Qin Huai to do a lot of ridiculous things.
As they get older, they communicate less and get along, and every time they meet, Chen Sihua most openly and secretly tells Qin Huai about his intention to get married.
But Qin Huai was afraid of his relationship with the queen, so he kept avoiding him, and he hid for five or six years.
Why did he come to the door now?
"Huaihuai! Huaihuai, I've come to see you, how are you? ”
The young man in green struggled to squeeze in through the crack in the door, but he didn't stand firmly, and the whole person crawled to Qin Huai's side.
Knowing that he couldn't hide today, Qin Huai could only turn around and look at Chen Siyan who hadn't stood up condescendingly, thinking about sending this son away as soon as possible.
He was obviously as old as Qin Huai, but he looked like he was eighteen or nineteen years old, and there was a birthmark as big as a sesame seed in the lower right corner of his left eye, and his skin was so fair that people felt that he didn't look like a man at all.
Especially his most common action, smirking and touching the back of his head, wishing that there was a simple word printed on the top of his head. Qin Huai finally understood why the military department Shangshu had not given this only son a good errand all these years.
Without waiting for Qin Huai to respond, the family members of his Chen Mansion brought in the boxes covered with red cloth one by one, and the sound of gongs and drums at the door gradually sounded again.
No way......
He even wore a dowry today. Could it be that he really planned to marry Qin Huai.
Without waiting for Mingyue to stop him, he took Qin Huai's hand and poured out his heart.
"Huaihuai, in fact, I wanted to come to propose marriage early on, but my father kept saying that I didn't want me to dream because of the disparity in my identity, but I know that we have been childhood sweethearts since I was a child, you must have me in your heart, and you must be forced to marry that Li Qixian!"
Chen Sihua said this with tears in his eyes, like an abandoned animal, and he was moved before he finished speaking.
But he was only half right, marrying Li Shuxian was a helpless move, but having him in his heart was definitely a rumor.
Qin Huai struggled several times but couldn't successfully withdraw his hand, but finally gave up, frowning and continuing to listen to his affectionate speech.
"I know that you finally let me live for me, and now many people in Xunyang City are pointing fingers at you, but it doesn't matter, I am with you! Today I came to ask for a kiss, and I brought you a gift, don't dislike me. ”
Qin Huai saw that he was getting more and more outrageous. seized the gap and hurriedly refused.
"I think you may have misunderstood me, but I don't ...... these gifts."
"Princess!"
Before she could finish speaking, a familiar voice suddenly came into her ears, making her whole person stunned in place.
Rosy clouds?
The woman in the goose down yellow shirt flew into the house, and the surprise was beyond words.
"Caixia! It's really you! ”
Mingyue was the first to hug Caixia, and after three months of separation, she fantasized about many scenes where Caixia could reunite again, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
But how could Chen Silian and Caixia appear together?
Qin Huai approached and looked her up and down, fortunately she didn't look thin, she was still the same as before, and those who wanted to come to the palace and the people of the second emperor brother did not embarrass her.
"Where have you been for so long, do you know how many groups of people I sent to find you."
Seeing Qin Huai say this, Caixia knelt down as soon as possible, and she was crying while feeling guilty and guilty.
"Princess! It's the slave who bothered you, the slave and the maid actually wanted to come to you earlier, but the Three Princes' Mansion was heavily guarded, and the slave and maid wandered around many times without finding a chance! ”
Because of Chen Silu and these outsiders, Qin Huai did not directly tell Qin Huai the real situation of himself and Mingyue these days, but slowly helped her up, and everything was silent.
"Princess, the princess's mansion had been sealed when I rushed back on the day of your accident, and I had no choice but to ask the female official for help, but I heard that the female official was invited into the palace, and I had no idea for a while, but I happened to meet Chen Gongzi."
Caixia looked at Chen Silian, there seemed to be some other feelings in her eyes besides gratitude, but Qin Huai only cared about listening to her, and didn't catch what this gaze meant.
Although Qin Huai never wanted to see Chen Siyan before, but for the sake of him helping Qin Huai, I will take credit for him for the time being.
"Thank you for taking care of my maid for so many days, but I can't promise you about the marriage."
Qin Huai was looking at him at this time, and his tone was somewhat softer.
"Why, am I not doing well?"
Hearing Qin Huai say this, Chen Sixuan's expression immediately became wrong, and his demeanor when he was lost was exactly the same as when he was a child. Although Qin Huai is not hard-hearted, he is already used to seeing him like this.
Mingyue grabbed Qin Huai at this time and said a few words in her ear.
Qin Huai got the hint, so he was embarrassed: "You are very good, but I heard that you have already been married, why do you still marry me?" ”
"This ...... I was married, but it was my father's wife for me, and she was fine, and I didn't ......divorce her."
Qin Huai's question seemed to stump Chen Si, and he exhaled as if it was extremely difficult to make up his mind about what to do.
After thinking about it, Qin Huai felt that since she had come to this point, it was time to face it again after delaying this matter for so many years.
She sighed. Looking directly into Chen Si's eyes, "You misunderstood, since you have already married a wife, you should take good care of others, I reconciled with Li Shuxian because I know that he is not my beloved, and you are the same, if you still treat me as your young friend, you should follow my decision." ”
Over the years, Chen Silian has been playing the game of chasing me with Qin Huai, he has always thought that since he didn't get an answer, he still has a chance, and Qin Huai has always thought that if he doesn't face it, he doesn't have to be embarrassed to refuse.
It took Chen Si to accept Qin Huai's words for a long time, and the bright moon and Caixia also quieted down.
