Chapter 43: Marriage Proposal
The ice cube was dug out by the subordinates of the palace, and Qin Chao swore for a long time to make his own ice lantern, but more than half an hour passed, and the ice cube was chiseled several times, and the appearance of the ice lamp was not made at all.
"Miss, why don't we make something simpler."
Tomhock reminded from the side.
Qin Chaojiu waited for this sentence, she felt that she was a person who relied on her brains, and should not be a person who lived by her hands, so Qin Chaojiu accepted Dong Kui's opinion very happily.
"How can it be simpler?" Qin Chao raised his eyes faintly and asked.
Dong Que made a comparison, and Qin Chaojiu immediately realized that Hui Zhilan's heart suddenly realized.
"Lord Wang, I know how to do it!"
Soon, under Qin Chaojiu's skillful hands, a boxy ice lantern was ready.
Xiao Changdu's calm face couldn't help but pupil earthquake.
It was clearly just a square block of ice, with a circular hole in the middle, just enough to put an oil lamp into it.
"This is the ice lantern you made?" Xiao Changdui was shocked.
Qin Chaojiu was overjoyed, Yi Zhen nodded: "Mmmmmm, how is it, is it unique." β
The praise that goes against his heart is difficult to say from Xiao Changdu's mouth after all.
He had grown up in the palace since he was a child, and he was accustomed to seeing delicate things, such rough and rotten things, which somewhat stinged his eyes.
"You don't like it?"
Qin Chaojiu raised his eyes to look at Xiao Changdu, and a faint sadness and injury came out of her eyes.
"I like it."
The two words against his heart came out of Xiao Changdu's mouth with difficulty, and after opening a hole in his bottom line of seeking truth from facts, the next words came out naturally.
"It's unique, it's beautiful, it's king...... Something like no other than you've ever seen before. β
Xiao Changdu's indifferent and cold voice made the corners of Qin Chaojiu's mouth rise more and more.
The steward of the palace personally brought the candlestick, lit it and put it in, and the faint candlelight was even more ordinary in the daytime.
Qin Chaojiu squatted on the ground, raised his head, and suddenly looked at Xiao Changdui and smiled: "Lord Wang, are you cold?" β
Before Xiao Changdui could say that he was not cold, the next moment, the woman's delicate and white hand stroked up.
"Your nose is frozen red, I'll help you warm up."
Qin Chaojiu said, stroking a few of his fingers on the bridge of his tall and erect nose.
The woman's palm covered the tip of his nose with a warm arc, and a warmth instantly spread through the skin to Xiao Changdu's limbs.
Her hands were warm and soft because she had been holding the hand warmer. It was clearly a gentle and gentle finger, but it was like a torch that burned from the tip of his nose all the way to his heart.
Xiao Changdu's ears turned red again, like the sunset on the horizon.
"Lord, why are you dressed so thinly? Didn't I tell you yesterday to wear more? β
Qin Chaojiu's fingers touched the thickness of his shirt, except for a mink fur worn on the outside, the cotton coat inside was not thick.
Xiao Changdui hadn't recovered from the ambiguity he had just felt at this moment, so he let Qin Chaojiu take him by the sleeve and led him into the house with him.
"I'll make you a scarf, a few days ago, I saw my sister put a scarf on all three brothers, it looks quite simple, I'll make you one too."
Qin Chaojiu looked at Xiao Changdu's slender neck and suddenly spoke.
"No, this king is not cold." Xiao Changdui subconsciously refused, but then realized that he might not refuse so coldly, paused and said: "This king is not used to wearing it, and if you need it, you are not allowed to do it yourself, you have your own subordinates to do it." β
Qin Chaojiu said: "That's naturally different, if the prince can wear the scarf I made for you with my own hands, he can also think of me from time to time." β
I don't know how long it takes for a scarf to start with a wool thread and end with a warm finished product.
It's just that after talking about Qin Chaojiu that day, Xiao Changdui has been waiting.
Instead, he waited for the Ministry of Rites in advance.
Le Zeming came to the Beimu Palace's Mansion with a happy face, knelt on the ground with a plop and made a big salute, and shouted: "Congratulations to the prince, Qin Tianjian has determined that the auspicious day can be proposed, this is a gift list, please take a look." β
It is said that this trivial matter should not be his turn to be a secretary of the Ministry of Rites in person.
It's just to get closer to the relationship with the prince of Beimu, so he came in person.
"Lord Le, please get up and sit down."
Xiao Changdu's tone was light, and he took the gift list handed by Master Le, although it seemed to be careless, but every word entered his mind.
"Lord, do you want to go in person on the day of the proposal?" Le Ze asked suddenly.
Xiao Changdu's cold eyes wrinkled slightly, and a faint cold glint flashed in them: "This king needs to go in person?" β
"No, no, according to the rules, you naturally don't need to go in person, the minister asks more than to determine the arrangement, if you go, then the Yongchang Marquis Mansion will have a big face, and it is normal for you not to go."
"Well, this king knows."
Xiao Changdui replied lightly, and he had a plan in his heart.
Le Zeming left the Beimu Palace's Mansion with a blank face, walked out for a long time, and didn't figure out whether the Beimu prince would go or not on the day of his proposal.
On the way back, Le Zeming told the little guy on the side about it, and the little guy said: "The little one thinks, how can the prince of Beimu go in person, so where does the Yongchang Marquis Mansion come from such a big face?" β
"You have a point, but I'm thinking too much."
Le Mingze thought so.
The reason why he suddenly thought so much was not because of the matter of the immortal master who made trouble in the palace not long ago, which made him think that the prince should care about the second miss of the Qin family very much, so he asked many times.
Thinking about it, the prince doesn't care much about Miss Qin Er.
He is also the cold and high-minded King of Beimu on the sofa.
The seventh day of October.
It was a good day for Qin Tianjian to watch.
The people of the Ministry of Rites boarded the gate of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion at the auspicious time, representing Xiao Changdu, the king of Beimu, who came to propose marriage.
The news that King Beimu was going to marry was rumored in the entire capital, and the dust finally settled as the Ministry of Rites Shangshu stepped into the gate of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
"Congratulations to the Marquis of Yongchang, congratulations to the Marquis of Yongchang!"
"Le, on behalf of the prince of Beimu, came to propose marriage and asked to marry the second lady of the Hou Mansion!"
Qin Jiang and Bai Wan had already known the news a day in advance, so they were already waiting at the gate of the Hou Mansion early today.
When he saw the people from the Ministry of Rites coming, he immediately welcomed them warmly into the flower hall.
A few people just sat down and exchanged two words, when someone suddenly shouted outside the door, and immediately, everyone in the flower hall went out to greet them.
"The prince of Beimu has arrived!"
"Welcome to King Beimu!"
Today is to come to propose, so before Qin Jiang and his wife kneeled, Xiao Changdui had already stretched out his hand and helped the two up: "The Marquis of Yongchang should not be polite, this king is here today to propose." β
Xiao Changdu's words fell, and a team of guards of King Beimu suddenly carried eight large red boxes into the front yard of the Hou Mansion one after another.
"This ...... This ......"
Qin Jiang was already dumbfounded, his gaze turned to Le Mingze, and then looked at Xiao Changdu: "Lord Wang, your gift of proposing marriage is too heavy, and the Ministry of Rites has prepared one." β
Le Mingze's heart was suddenly lifted at this moment, thinking that it was because he had prepared too few gifts, which made King Beimu dissatisfied?
But in addition to the rules and regulations, I have prepared a lot.
Xiao Changdui said lightly: "Well, this king knows that the Ministry of Rites is in accordance with the rules of the quota, and it should be given, and this king's these are given to Miss Qin Er alone." β
When the words fell, everyone was stunned.
Bai Wan couldn't help but sigh lightly: "This ...... That's a little too much. β
"The princess of this king, it is worth it."
A few simple words came out of Xiao Changdu's mouth, making everyone around him marvel and envy.
"Lord Wang!"
When Qin Chaojiu arrived, he happened to hear what Xiao Changdui said.
Her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, she came with her skirt, her steps were light, like a butterfly among flowers, and like a fairy in the forest, ignoring everything in heaven and earth, and flew in front of Xiao Changdu.
Stopping at a distance of one step away from Xiao Changdui, she raised her delicate and beautiful little face, her skin was white and her lips were red, and she made the heavens and the earth lose their color with a smile.
"You're coming to marry me?"
Qin Chao suddenly spoke, looking at Xiao Changdu's dark and deep eyes, and his heart was full of jubilation.
Xiao Changdu's heart trembled slightly, and his fingers suddenly clenched, so that he did not lose his sense of proportion in public.
His slender lips pursed slightly, and all his eyes and gaze were on the petite and delicate but fairy-like woman in front of him.
There was endless pampering hidden in the coldness, and he said slowly: "It's just a proposition." β
However, the next moment.
The woman jumped up.
Her arms wrapped around his neck, her delicate body weak and boneless, and threw herself into his arms.
The little face buried in his neck suddenly let out bursts of chuckles.
Xiao Changdui's body stiffened suddenly, but it was only for a moment, and after a moment, his big hand finally covered the slender waist of the woman in his arms.
hugged the woman a little tighter.
Le Zeming was a person with many eyes, he hurriedly picked up his shocked chin from the ground, and then hurriedly pulled Qin Jiang, who also lost his eyeballs, to the house.
Qin Jiang came back to his senses and pulled away Mrs. Hou's Bai Wan, whose soul had flown away.
The surrounding subordinates also retreated one after another, leaving this happy heaven and earth to this pair of beautiful people made in heaven.
"I can finally hug my husband openly." Qin Chaojiu's little face was buried in Xiao Changdu's arms, causing her voice to speak in a voice that was not as cold and bright as before, but a little more delicate and naΓ―ve.
The sound of "Master Husband" made Xiao Changdui's hand suddenly tighten.
"Before Chinese New Year's Eve this year, choose a day to get married, what do you think?" Suddenly, Xiao Changdui's voice spoke above his head.
Qin Chaojiu was slightly stunned, according to the rules, after they are married now, why should they wait for Qin Tianjian to find an auspicious future before they can get married.
This day is not to say that the year before, it can really be rushed to the year before.
However, if she can move to the Beimu Mansion as soon as possible and leave the messy place of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, she naturally can't ask for it.
"Okay!"
Qin Chaojiu raised his eyebrows and laughed happily.
