"Did you agree?"
When he heard that Chu Xing agreed to Chu Sui's marriage with Wan family, Lu Mingyu sat up in surprise. Didn't Chu Xing want to keep a distance from Wan family?
Chu Xing sat on the side of the bed, looking at his wife with a phoenix eyes, as quiet as the ancient well, and said simply: "Wan Shu has a special liking for her second brother, and her second brother has decided, so I can only fulfill it. Moreover, if the queen deliberately relies on her in-laws to attract power for King Qing, it would be more appropriate for her to marry her only niece to other high-ranking children. It would be unnecessary to marry her to our mansion. The emperor is wise, as long as the Chu family acts cautiously in the future, it should not cause suspicion."
If possible, Chu Xing was still unwilling to marry Wan's relatives, but his cousin was too deeply involved in marrying Lu Mingyu, and the dignified seven-foot man was so aggrieved that he cried. Chu Xing could no longer stop his cousin from marrying a girl who loved him wholeheartedly.
Chu Sui is really going to marry Wan Shu...
Lu Mingyu couldn't help but feel a little confused. She had been married to the Chu family for a while, and she had met Chu Sui several times. I wonder if she was thinking too much, but she always felt that Chu Sui hadn't completely let go of her. Although Lu Mingyu didn't look at Chu Sui, she obviously felt that Chu Sui was watching her once. In her previous life, Wan Shu could be regarded as a stubborn fight against Chu Sui. Lu Mingyu felt uncomfortable and complained to Chu Sui. Then Chu Sui said a particularly ruthless thing, saying that a shameless girl like Wan Shu, even if only Wan Shu is left in the world, he wouldn't take a look at her.
Now Chu Sui insists on marrying Wan Shu because it is impossible for her to marry anyone, or has he finally discovered Wan Shu's goodness?
Wan Shu was indeed devoted to Chu Sui.
Lu Mingyu suddenly thought of her cousin Xiao Huan again. She thought that when she first returned to the capital, she gave up on Chu Sui. Lu Mingyu also considered accepting her cousin because her cousin was very kind to her, and it was also good to be able to marry a man who really liked her. So is Chu Sui decided to marry Wan Shu, isn't the same reason?
"A Nuan?" Seeing her insanity, a trace of turmoil appeared in Chu Xing's eyes. His wife and her cousin were husband and wife in her previous life, and she had been in love for several years in this life. Did she hear that her cousin was going to marry someone else? She was still unable to accept it immediately?
However, when Lu Mingyu looked over, Chu Xing's eyes returned to peace.
When he mentioned the important matter, even in front of his wife, his expression was cold and looked very serious. Lu Mingyu thought he was worried about the emperor, so he smiled and said, "Yes, the emperor is wise and in his prime, and he will not easily suspect his subjects. What's more, the Duke of the State is a celebrity around the emperor and is deeply trusted by the emperor."
At the end, her face was playful, and her long black and soft hair was scattered from the side of her face, making her cheeks look more delicate, her peach blossom eyes were darker and brighter, and her clear eyes reflected his figure. Looking at her charming wife, Chu Xing's slight sourness quickly disappeared, and he reached out to take the person into his arms, lowered his head to kiss her ears.
Lu Mingyu itched and shrank into his shoulder.
At night, Chu Xing finally said that he would do what he said. After hugging him for a while before going to bed, the couple slept in their own sleep and had peace.
The next day, Chu Xing went to court early, and Lu Mingyu went to Sanqiu Hall to pay tribute. The lady's eyes were poisonous, and she saw that Lu Mingyu's face was not as rosy as usual. She asked considerately if she was uncomfortable. Chu Xing was old, and the old man must be looking forward to his offspring. When Lu Mingyu told the truth, she couldn't help but feel guilty.
The lady was a little disappointed, but she didn't take it to heart. She smiled and joked: "I just got married for less than a month. Why are you more anxious than your grandmother? Relax and take a good rest in these few days. When you are busy later."
Lu Mingyu immediately remembered Chu Xing's bravery at night and bowed his head in shame.
Back at Dingfeng Hall, Lu Mingyu took out the jade-green kesi material that had been made for Chu Xing and continued to sew. This was a robe that was to be worn outside. The stitches must be carefully embroidered. Lu Mingyu was not very skilled in making a big man's robe. He was wasted two good materials in more than half a month, and he was also caught by Chu Xing. Chu Xing probably felt that her girl was not very good, so he thoughtfully advised her to rest and handed it to the embroiderer in the mansion to make it. Lu Mingyu was unwilling to give it to the sewing lady in the mansion. When Chu Xing was not at home, she secretly sewed it. As soon as Chu Xing came back, she hid it and waited to give him a surprise.
She was concentrating on sewing clothes here, while the lady and Mrs. Chu looked through the almanac calendar and found that the day after tomorrow was an auspicious day, so she called a matchmaker to come to her house early and made some arrangements. As soon as the day came, the matchmaker went to Cheng'en's mansion to propose marriage.
Wan Shu was so happy that she wanted her mother to agree immediately. Mrs. Chengen Hou despised her daughter for being unrestrained and said to the matchmaker that she would think about it for a few more days, and she would send the matchmaker away in the morning, and then go to the palace to inform Queen Wan. The marriage was a big deal, and the matchmaker's orders were ordered by her parents, and Mrs. Chengen Hou had already agreed in her heart, but who told her sister-in-law to be the queen? Even if she was acting, she had to go into the palace to mention it.
The furnishings of Queen Wan’s bedroom were very elegant. She was praised by the people for her diligence and virtuousness. She entertained her family. Queen Wan only wore a stone-green home-style dress and a simple jade hairpin on her head. When she heard that Mrs. Cheng'en Hou intended to betroth her niece to Chu Sui, Queen Wan bent her little fingers secretly.
But she knew that her niece had long been in love with Chu Sui, and she guessed that Mrs. Cheng'en just came to inform her, and then she smiled and praised Chu Sui.
Mrs. Cheng'en left with satisfaction.
Queen Wan looked at the empty door, and the corners of her lips gradually tightened. After a long time, she suddenly smiled again and sent someone to ask about the whereabouts of Emperor Minghui. After learning that Emperor Minghui had approved the memorial, Queen Wan took two palace maids and walked towards the Imperial Garden in a leisurely manner. From a distance, she saw Emperor Minghui and her third and fourth prince sitting in the pavilion. Queen Wan was in a better mood.
She was three years older than the emperor, and when she entered the palace, she didn't expect the emperor to fall in love with an old woman. The emperor's first trial, Queen Wan was more or less a bit chewy, but she soon discovered that the emperor was the same for every woman in the harem and did not particularly favor anyone. Queen Wan completely relaxed and focused on raising the two princes.
Emperor Hui of Ming was checking the homework of his two sons. When he saw the queen, he guessed that the queen had something to do, so he sent the two sons in advance.
"Your Majesty, what's Shuo'er's recent homework?" Queen Wan sat down and asked with a smile.
Emperor Hui of Ming tugged at the corner of his mouth. The third brother has been crowned king, and he, the father, has to check his homework. So what if he makes progress?
Empress Wan was bored, picked up a tea bowl and savored the tea, covering up her embarrassment. She continued: "Emperor, Mrs. Cheng'en just entered the palace and said that the second son of Duke Chu's mansion came to propose marriage and wanted to marry Shu'er. She came to ask me what I mean. Emperor, Shu'er is also considered the one you have grown up. What do you think?"
Emperor Hui of Ming looked at the scenery outside the pavilion. He heard this and slowly turned around and thought for a moment: "Shi Qian is the Tanhua Lang I have chosen. He is both talented and virtuous. He is a good match with Shu'er and a handsome man."
Queen Wan smiled, "Since the emperor praised the second son as well, I will immediately send someone to say to Mrs. Cheng'en and tell her not to hesitate."
Emperor Minghui nodded.
Queen Wan said goodbye and left.
Emperor Minghui looked at her back and thought of the eldest son, King Qing, who was not as good as a martial artist outside, for no reason.
Just when Queen Wan sent someone to Cheng'en Hou Mansion to convey the holy intention, a middle-aged man in a civilian clothes drove a donkey cart and slowly walked out of the southern city gate with other people. He had an ordinary appearance, and the items used to sell cooked cakes were placed on the donkey cart. He was not conspicuous among other vendors. He left the city gate and headed southwest.
At sunset, the donkey cart drove into a small town twelve miles away and finally stopped steadily in front of a two-in-one house in the north of the town.
The doorman had already opened the door when he heard the movement of the donkey cart.
The middle-aged man walked in with a donkey cart. After entering, he handed the donkey cart to the doorman. The middle-aged man quickly went to the room.
This house is very quiet. In the upper room hall, a man in a gray robe sat lazily facing south. He is about thirty years old, with fair skin and handsome overall appearance. Unfortunately, there is a very ugly scar on his left eye to the center of his cheek, which looks very terrifying at first glance.
Seeing the middle-aged servant, the scarred man looked expressionless and continued to play with a mahogany comb in his hand.
"The boss, today the Duke of Chu's mansion asked a matchmaker to go to the Marquis of Cheng'en to propose marriage. It should be the second master of Chu who asked to marry Miss Wan."
The scarred man raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you serious?"
The middle-aged servant repeatedly guaranteed that the news was true.
The scarred man smiled in an unknown way and signaled the servant to go down. He stood up with his hands behind his back, walked out of the main hall, and went to the backyard like a walk in the garden.
In the backyard, a mother and son were watering flowers. The mother was wearing a water-green skirt, with a slender waist and a graceful back. The boy beside her looked only six or seven years old, holding a small gourd ladle in her hand, scooping water from the wooden barrel in a sleek manner, and then splashing it seriously at the root of the rose. Just as she was about to scoop another ladle, she suddenly caught a scarred man. The boy narrowed his eyes slightly and shouted loudly: "Uncle Zhou!"
Uncle Zhou nodded with a smile and looked up at the young woman.
When Dong Yue'er saw him, she was also happy and looked at the person who came with her beautiful eyes shyly and timidly.
Uncle Zhou walked to her and fooled the boy to continue watering. He whispered to Dong Yue'er: "Chu Sui is going to get married."
Dong Yue'er hadn't reacted at first, and when she remembered who Chu Sui was, she immediately froze there, with only her eyes slowly moving towards her son not far away.
The boy squatted in front of the flower bed, watering the flowers without distraction, and watering another flower. He stood up happily and saw his mother looking at him. The boy grinned at his mother, and his narrow phoenix eyes turned into a crescent moon.
Dong Yue'er suddenly burst into tears.
Chu Sui, Chu Sui, her brother Shi Qian, is so cruel!
