On the second day of the palace banquet, it was no surprise to everyone that the marriage between the two countries was settled.
On the afternoon of the day when the imperial decree was promulgated, another imperial decree came out and went straight to the mansion of the Minister of Rites to read out the marriage of the fourth prince Xiao Ran and Jing Mingzhu.
In an instant, the whole circle was boiling.
Originally, based on the status of the Minister of Rites in the court, according to the normal process, it was more than enough for Jing Mingzhu to be named the concubine, but the emperor's heart was unpredictable. I felt unhappy in my heart, and it felt like someone else had influenced the decision, so with a stroke of a pen, Jing Mingzhu was given the position of a side concubine.
Although Jing Jin was bitter in his heart, he could only swallow it. Who let his daughter not live up to her expectations, she actually fell into the water, but fortunately, it was the fourth prince who saved the life, otherwise they would have nowhere to cry if they wanted to.
Either the royal family has no marriages, or come to two.
The marriage of the two princes was settled, and several families were happy and worried, because there were not many places left to compete for jobs.
It was extremely lively outside, and the palace was as quiet and peaceful as usual.
In the courtyard under the shade of green trees, Chu Qingyan and Xiao Xu sat opposite each other, with a tea set in front of them, and on the stone table beside, fresh iced melons and fruits, fragrant pastries, and mung bean soup in a round cup. While floating, there was a game of Go in the middle of the table.
The cool breeze makes everything feel comfortable, and under the tree, handsome men and beautiful women are pleasing to the eye.
Chu Qingyan crossed a bayberry and put it in her mouth, watching the person in front of her cooking tea while eating, the cold and sweetness between her teeth, she sighed contentedly, "Summer like this is suitable for summer escape at home! You don't have to do anything, just eat, drink and enjoy. ."
As she spoke, she forked another piece of melon and fruit and handed it to him. Xiao Xu took her fork and bit it down. The unique aroma of the melon and fruit surged in his mouth. In front of her, "It makes sense."
She smiled, as if encouraged, and threw the fork in her hand back to the plate, moved a position, and opened the chess box, "Come, come, play chess with me."
Xiao Xu looked at her in high spirits, and didn't want to hit her very much. Every time she played chess with him, she often cheated, and she was not calm outside at all, but he liked it.
It is also a great joy in life to have nothing to do and tease my daughter-in-law.
She walked first, walked seriously, and thought about every step carefully. Compared with her tangled every step, Xiao Xu took it casually and put it aside, in addition to earnestly appreciating the subtle changes on her face.
Whenever she scratched her ears and cheeks, he would pick an insignificant place, put the water in, and enjoy her little hilarity.
Week after week, a game of chess takes a long time.
"Hey, how can you get down here!" In the battle of the trapped beasts, she was still struggling.
Xiao Xu chuckled, "Then what do you say?"
"How do I know what you're going to do!" She was just lying to the end, anyway, there are no outsiders here, and in such a long day, it would be too bland to not find something to quarrel with.
The little guy is so boring!
In the end, it ended with her defeat.
"Caicai, you have no regrets, why are you always bullying and inserting onions!"
A voice never came out of nowhere, causing Chu Qingyan's face to turn red.
She turned her head and complained, "Father, how can you turn your elbows out like this?"
Father Chu walked over, biting the pear, and when he heard his daughter's complaint, he was very serious and sincere, "The son-in-law is his own, and the father is abducting him!"
Chu Qingyan felt that a mouthful of old blood was choked in her chest, and her daughter wouldn't carry that.
"Son-in-law, where's the wood?" Father Chu didn't notice his daughter's hurt expression at all, and looked at his house with bright eyes.
Xiao Xu handed the future father-in-law a cup of tea and replied, "In the wooden garden."
Father Chu took the teacup and drank it down, then wiped it with his hands, "So this little bastard went there, I'll go find him!"
"Are you in a hurry to find him?" Xiao Xu thought that it would be easier to have someone call Mu Ling over.
"It's urgent!" Father Chu grumbled, "He promised to make me a fish hook, but it's not done yet, so it doesn't count!"
Xiao Xu twitched the corners of his mouth, then let him find the wood spirit himself!
"When the hooks are ready, I'll take you to fishing later!" Father Chu laughed, and ran away without waiting for them to react.
Looking at the back of Feng Huo Huo Huo's departure, Chu Qingyan supported his forehead, Daddy really looks like a child!
At this time, Xiao Xu opened his mouth and said.
"Kongling and Yanluo will come back after a while, and your father's illness can continue to be treated."
Chu Qingyan was pleasantly surprised when he heard the news of the two at first, "I thought it would take a while for them to come back, this is really good! I don't know if Kong Ling's injuries are all healed, the important thing is that the two of them are in the end. Are you okay?"
As soon as she thought of this, she could not wait for them to appear in front of her immediately and answer her questions one by one.
"Maybe, we can drink their wedding wine." Xiao Xu looked at the extremely excited little guy, the corners of his mouth softened.
"It's progressing so quickly! It really is true love in adversity!" Chu Qingyan took a big bite of a piece of ice.
Xiao Xu nodded, "Kong Ling's sense of responsibility is too heavy, I'm afraid of taking Yan Luo, but because of this, this king feels a lot of guilt for them. If the two really get married, and there is no one in the Kong Ling family, you will be more. Hard work to help prepare."
Chu Qingyan gave him a look, "That's natural, whether it's Kong Ling, Mu Ling Jin Ling and the others, as long as they can help, I won't refuse, they've been with you for so many years, it's yours My subordinates are also your relatives, I have long regarded them as my own, so you don’t have to be so polite and explain it!”
Listening to her natural tone, Xiao Xu couldn't help but curl his lips, "Yes, that's exactly what you should do as a mistress of the house."
"Hate!" She blushed at his words.
When picking up the pieces on the chessboard, Chu Qingyan suddenly thought of something, raised her head and asked, "By the way, everyone heard that I fell into the water that day, how do you know it's not me? Can you find my position accurately?"
After all, Xiao Ran, who was the closest at that time, jumped down desperately, so how could it be possible to judge the big ice cube in a short time when she knew that she was there
Xiao Xu took it for granted, "Intuition."
From the strongest intuition of the beast!
Chu Qingyan was embarrassed by his answer, "You are really confident! What if your intuition is wrong?"
He raised his eyes and looked at her seriously, "No, I just need to look at it to know if the person in the water is you!"
He is not Xiao Ran, so he will not mistake the person he loves.
Why did she read deep affection in those eyes
The big ice cube won't show such a strange expression, she must be dazzled!
Immediately she made a fan with her hand and fluttered desperately.
