Xiao Changwei never thought that one day he would marry the princess, so he has never paid much attention to things like marrying and hiring.

So much so that when it came to the end, his eyes were black, and he didn't know anything.

Xiao Changdui came to the palace, saw the current saint, and called Le Zeming, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, over.

Le Zeming was worried, and before going out of the house, he was furious and questioned his wife and children, but there were still people who had dealings with Bai Xi, and he was denied by a smoke.

Kele Zeming snorted: "You didn't have anything to do with Bai Xi, why did King Beimu come to call me?" ”

Mrs. Shangshu immediately ordered a strict investigation, if someone harmed her master and made their entire Yuefu unpeaceful, then this person would not have to be kept.

Le Zeming came to the palace with such a nervous state of mind.

"Long live my emperor, long live

When Le Zeming arrived at the main hall, he made a big gift.

The emperor waved his hand: "Get up, give a seat to Lord Le." ”

As soon as the word "give the seat" came out, Le Zeming's anxious heart finally fell back into his stomach.

It seems that he is not looking for trouble.

He silently raised his hand to wipe the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, and sat down in front of the low stool with only half of his buttocks.

"Lord Le, King Beimu is preparing to marry the princess, and he needs to be hired, what else do you need to do? What should be the etiquette of these things, you can talk to King Beimu. ”

The emperor had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the smile in the depths of his eyes was even worse, he glanced at Xiao Changdui under the seat, and then asked Le Zeming.

As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Le Zeming opened his mouth to this kind of thing, he arched his hand, and began the half-hour-long narration.

Among them, everything is so detailed that according to the rules of Dayue, how to arrange the wedding room is clear.

It's really embarrassing for this musician.

It is said that sitting in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, such small things no longer need to be handled by him personally, but fortunately, he has a solid foundation and has read countless books, so he can answer all kinds of details fluently at this moment.

After some conversation, he was nodded and appreciated by King Beimu: "Lord Le has worked hard, this king has written it down." ”

Le Zeming got up and arched his hand: "This is the duty of the minister, the minister does not dare to take credit, I don't know which noble girl the person the prince admires, and the matter of hiring and proposing relatives should be personally visited by my Ministry of Rites." ”

According to Da Yue's rules, Xiao Changdui is the prince of the royal family, and he should be hired by the Ministry of Rites.

In fact, Originally, Xiao Changdui only needed to send someone to the Ministry of Rites to inform him, and the Ministry of Rites would prepare everything properly.

But Xiao Changdui cared so much about it, and specially asked the emperor for advice.

Xiao Changdui slowly spoke: "Second Miss of the Marquis of Yongchang." ”

Qin Chaojiu's voice and smile suddenly appeared in front of him, which made Xiao Changdu's cold face feel a little warm.

"The minister will go to find a good day and an auspicious day, and then come back to the prince." Le Zeming showed a look of surprise in his eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head and took it away.

"Go ahead."

Xiao Changdui waved his hand, and Le Zeming left the palace with his head held high.

The midday sun hangs high overhead, shedding a warm glow, making people's hearts feel peaceful and bright.

Le Zeming let out a long sigh of relief, in this world, there is probably nothing more joyful than a false alarm.

Soon, the shocking news of the flowering of the iron tree of Xiao Changdu, the king of Beimu, spread throughout the capital.

Countless people were shocked by this.

"What, King Beimu wants to marry the princess? It's not that the prince of Beimu doesn't like women...... Bah, bah, I also heard what people said, after all, the prince of Beimu will be in a few years, and he will be in the age of establishment. ”

"Of course it's true, today, I specially summoned Lord Shang Shule of the Ministry of Rites to the palace for questioning, and it is said that the person who King Beimu has a crush on is actually the second lady of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion."

"Impossible, right? Didn't Miss Hou Fuer come back from the countryside? has no upbringing, and there are a lot of ugliness, how can he be favored by King Beimu? You're making a bit of a joke. ”

"Let's just say, even if King Beimu is blind and lame, it is impossible to look at the second miss of the Qin family, right?"

"But how did I hear that King Beimu was very kind to the second miss of the Qin family, and he personally sent the second miss of the Qin family back to the house, in my opinion, maybe it is true."

There are different opinions, but most people think that this news is a rumor, first they don't believe that King Beimu, who has been lonely and widowed for a long time and is not close to a woman, will marry a concubine, and then they don't believe it, the princess will be Qin Chaojiu.

In short, there is no one who is optimistic about Qin Chaojiu.

Naturally, this news also spread to the Marquis of Yongchang.

However, a lady who had always been good friends with Bai Wan heard the news, and hurriedly came over and told Bai Wan as soon as possible.

"Is this serious? Your Hou Mansion has hit a lot of luck. ”

That lady is the second lady of the Dingyuan Marquis family, and when she was young, she was a close friend of Bai Wan and had always been good friends.

Bai Wan was taken aback when she heard this: "I never knew about this, you wait for me to ask the girl." ”

On the one hand, Bai Wan felt that this matter was impossible, even if King Beimu gave Qin Chaojiu some preferential treatment, it would not reach the point of marrying her.

Even if King Beimu wants to marry, it should be to marry her eldest daughter Jingxi, no matter what, it won't be Qin Chaojiu's turn, right?

But on the other hand, Bai Wan faintly looked forward to it in her heart, and this rumor was true.

In recent years, the border wars have not stopped, the emperor has attached great importance to the king of Beimu, and their marquis mansion has become more and more marginalized in the whole of Kyoto.

Thinking like this, Bai Wan had already brought the big girl Chunyu to the Xinxiang Courtyard.

When Bai Wan asked if the rumors were true, Qin Chaojiu admitted without hesitation.

"Naturally, it's true, didn't my daughter tell her mother that she would marry King Beimu in the future." The corners of Qin Chaojiu's mouth hooked slightly, and he suddenly asked with a little surprise: "However, mother, how do you know?" King Beimu came to propose? ”

When Bai Wan heard this, she immediately thought of the palace banquet that day, and Qin Chaojiu's appearance of being a nymphomaniac in front of King Beimu, but she couldn't imagine that what she said turned out to be true.

For a while, I didn't know whether to be happy or shocked, and after a moment's pause, Bai Wan sat down and said, "I just heard that King Beimu seems to be preparing to propose marriage, but it is not yet known to whom he is proposing." ”

When Qin Chao heard the words for a long time, his tone was firm, and his eyes were firm: "Naturally, it is a daughter, and I ask my mother to be ready." ”

Bai Wan didn't know where Qin Chaojiu got such confidence, and suddenly thought of that day, Qin Chaojiu stayed in Beimu Wangfu overnight.

Could it be that night......

Bai Wan was startled by her own thoughts, and covered her mouth in shock.

Qin Chao suddenly thought of something, stood in front of Bai Wan, half-squatted down and saluted: "The daughter's dowry is still bothered by the mother. ”

"That'...... That's nature. ”

The smile on Bai Wan's face froze, and she left the Xinxiang Courtyard in a daze.

Qin Chaojiu sat at the table with his face in his hands: "I don't know when the wedding date will be, by the way, Zhujie, you are going to marry with me to the Beimu Palace." ”

Zhu nodded: "Master, don't you want slaves?" Wherever you go, the slave and maid will go, even if it is a fire pit, the slave and the maid will accompany you. ”

Looking at Zhujie's heroic and righteous appearance, Qin Chaojiu couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "I asked you to go to Beimu Wangfu with me, why did it become a fire pit?" ”

Zhujie lowered his head, and his voice was full of grievances like mosquitoes: "But the prince of Beimu is too fierce, and the slave is afraid." ”

Qin Chaojiu couldn't help but giggle.

In the blink of an eye, the sky in the west was flushed, and the color was brilliant, and it seemed that he also wanted to add a joy to the relationship between Qin Chaojiu and Xiao Changdu.

"Isn't it time for dinner?" Qin Chao suddenly smelled the aroma of food in the air, and couldn't help but look up and ask the winter lotus.

Winter Lotus immediately raised her face and smiled, leaned closer to Qin Chaojiu and said: "Miss Hui, it's time for dinner, I heard that today's kitchen made pig's trotters and lotus seed soup, Dong Lai has already gone to the kitchen, and he should be back soon." ”

Qin Chaojiu thought about it for a while, and then felt even more hungry.

However, the hollyhock went and returned, still with two hands empty.

Seeing this, Dong Lotus immediately stepped forward and reprimanded: "Useless things, let you go to the kitchen to get a meal, why did you come back with two empty paws, such a trivial thing can't be done, did you deliberately want to make Miss hungry?" ”

Zhujie showed an unhappy expression on the side, and secretly glanced at the winter lotus, she walked to the side of the winter sunlow, and said in a soft tone: "Dong Kui, you tell me first, what's going on." ”

Dong Kui directly ignored the winter lotus root and bent towards Qin Chaojiu: "The lord and the lady invite the young lady to Changbai Courtyard for dinner." Meals from the kitchen were delivered to Tokoshiwain. ”

Qin Chaojiu's dark eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

In fact, according to the rules of the house, every night, everyone in the house should go to Changbai Courtyard to eat together, with Mrs. Tang, Lord Hou, Mrs. and other elders.

On the day Qin Chaojiu just came back to the Hou Mansion, she was also called together, but because she had bad rules and was disgusted, she ate alone at dinner.

I've been like this for the past few months, and I suddenly called her today, presumably because of what Bai Wan came to ask about during the day.

"Let's go."

Qin Chaojiu tidied up his dress, and then walked quickly to Changbai Courtyard.

The yearning for food makes her pace extremely fast.

The bamboo behind him wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a moment, and decided to talk about it next time.

In the restaurant of Tokiwain, many people were already sitting in their own places at this time.

On the main seat sat the old lady, Qin Jiang and Bai Wan sat on both sides of her, followed by the eldest son Qin Guanjin, the second son Qin Guanming and the third son Qin Guanrui.

There was an empty seat next to Qin Jingxi, which was obviously reserved for her.

Qin Chaojiu walked over and said hello to the elders: "Chaojiu greets grandmother, father, and mother." ”

Seeing Qin An nodding his head, Qin Chao sat down in an orderly manner for a long time.

Today, she came to eat pig's trotters, pork ribs, and lotus seed soup, but she couldn't affect her cooking because of conflicts with this group of people.

With this kind of thought, Qin Chaojiu behaved like a knowledgeable and courteous, gentle and quiet, so that no one could find fault with him.

But today's meal is obviously not so easy to eat.
