Chapter 148 148 Getting married

Chu Qianchen raised his lips and smiled. After thinking for a while, he probably understood Su Mubai's intention.

The same was true in the previous life. When the prince was alive, Su Mubai was only loyal to the prince. Everything he did was based on the interests of the prince.

The prince asked Su Mubai to try to delay the marriage, but Su Mubai might not be able to do it. The problem is that the emperor is now eyeing the Chen Palace with covetous eyes. If at this time, the Chen Palace comes forward to postpone the wedding again, and the marriage is delayed again and again, the emperor may become suspicious.

Su Mubai was unwilling to take such a risk, so he chose the safest way for the prince.

He really hasn't changed at all.

The smile in Chu Qianchen's eyes grew stronger, and a kind of sadness that still felt like an old friend emerged in his heart.

If it were her, she would do the same thing.

No one or anything is more important than the prince.

Therefore, even if there is a pit in front of her, she will still jump down.

Chu Qianchen looked at Su Mubai with clear eyes and said calmly: "Then the wedding will go as planned."

The prince's safety is the most important thing. Isn’t it just getting married? When she married into Prince Chen's palace, she could justifiably treat the prince's illness without having to work so hard to avoid the emperor's eyes and ears.

Besides, the prince's body can't be healed in just three to five days. Even if the broken blade is taken out, it will take a while.

Outside the window, the warm breeze blew slowly, blowing away the dark clouds in the sky.

The sky became clear again, as blue as the sea, and the sun poured down from the sky.

Su Mubai stood at the window. Under the backlight, his handsome and elegant face looked blurry, and his expression was a little more unpredictable.

He stared steadily at the determined-looking girl a few steps away, and a strange feeling gradually arose in his heart.

A feeling of being seen through.

Is this his illusion, or...

interesting.

Su Mubai's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he said: "Miss Chu Er, have you thought clearly? This is your lifelong event. You have done enough for Prince Chen's Mansion... No matter what, I will do it for Prince Chen." Protect the foundation of Prince Chen’s Mansion.”

Chu Qianchen met his eyes and confirmed.

Sure enough, it was a familiar smell.

Oh, Su Mubai is playing retreat in order to advance. When he deceives others, he often deceives them so much that they have nothing to say when they think about it afterwards.

Chu Qianchen also knew that the prince was not alone in the capital and had hidden many trump cards. However, it would not be worth using them at this time.

Moreover, if Prince Chen's palace confronts the emperor now, it will definitely cause a storm in the capital. How can the prince treat his illness with peace of mind in the future? !

"I have thought it through." Chu Qianchen said with certainty, his tone was neither urgent nor slow, but he could not be questioned, "We will discuss other matters when the prince comes back."

Su Mubai smiled slightly and stood with his hands behind his back.

He was also sure.

This Miss Chu Er is really smart, and she can guess his thoughts in all likelihood.

It's just that she chose to be used by them, and the reason is obvious.

It seems that they will get along well with the princess in the future.

Su Mubai bowed his hands to Chu Qianchen politely, "Thanks to the girl this time, everyone in Prince Chen's palace is grateful."

He was in a very happy mood, feeling that he had successfully abducted a willing miracle doctor and had done a great job. When she gets married in a few days, she will be from Prince Chen's palace.

Xue Fengyan, who was standing in the tree outside, looked at Su Mubai's expression. Even without asking, he knew that the negotiation between him and Chu Qianchen should have been concluded. On the one hand, he breathed a sigh of relief, but on the other hand, he felt that it was indeed the case.

He vaguely guessed that this would happen, not only because Su Mubai was good at deceiving people, but also because of Chu Qianchen's attitude.

Su Mubai and Chu Qianchen's opinions on this gifted marriage were surprisingly consistent from the beginning.

Everything is done with the prince's interests as priority.

Xue Fengyan silently withdrew his gaze and leaned lazily on the rough tree trunk behind him.

He had followed Chu Qianchen for a few months and got to know her a little bit: Although this little girl was young, she had a strong idea in her heart. Did she really not know that Su Mubai was deceiving her?

Ahem, anyway, in terms of results, it’s good.

Xue Fengyan closed his eyes and took the opportunity to take a nap.

In the hall, Chu Qianchen was still sitting on the rosewood armchair with an elegant posture. She remained calm and composed from beginning to end.

She stroked her sleeves and asked, "Commander Su, do you want to bring a message to the prince?"

Anyway, the matter has come to an end, and there is no need for the prince to rush back to Beijing.

Su Mubai was in a good mood now, so when he looked at people, his eyes were gentler and his smile was warmer. He agreed without saying a word: "Don't worry, Miss Chu Er, just leave everything else to us."

Once the most troublesome thing is solved, everything else comes second.

Chu Qianchen did not doubt this.

Su Mubai is very annoying as an enemy, but very reliable as an ally. He thinks every step, plans every step, and thinks deeply. This is why the prince keeps him in the capital to take charge of the overall situation.

As long as he is here, he can protect Prince Chen's Mansion.

The business was finished, but Chu Qianchen was in no hurry to leave. She had to stay in Prince Chen's Mansion for a full hour.

Su Mubai played a game of chess with Chu Qianchen with great hospitality. When he met his opponent, an hour was not enough to determine the outcome.

Chu Qianchen saw that the time was almost up, and after another sunspot fell on the chessboard, he left without any hesitation.

She waved her sleeves, showing no nostalgia for the unfinished chess game.

Su Mubai was left alone to watch the chess game silently and think about everything.

"Su Mubai, will the prince be angry when he comes back?" Prince Palace Chief Shi Chenglin came from the west corner next door, stroking his beard with a little guilt written on his face, feeling that they had tricked Chu Qianchen.

It was too late to get angry. Su Mubai thought to himself, but sighed and said: "I'm afraid this time it will go against the prince's wishes."

Yun Zhan followed Cheng Linhua to the main hall with a complicated expression and a little absent-minded.

Su Mubai was still half-focused on the chess game, and casually picked up a white piece and placed it on the chessboard.

Cheng Linhua followed Su Mubai's movements and looked at the chessboard. The chessboard was dotted with black and white chess pieces. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Miss Chu's chess skills are extraordinary."

It’s hard to say who will win this round.

but…

Cheng Linhua looked at Su Mubai up and down with strange eyes, "Don't you always have little desire to win?" Why did he seem a little abnormal today, as if he was very concerned about half of the chess he played.

Su Mubai smiled lightly, "I just think Miss Chu Er's chess style is very interesting."

Cheng Linhua was used to Su Mubai being all talkative, so he didn't ask any more questions. It should be said that his thoughts had already wandered around to the most important thing now.

Regardless of the process, judging from the result, the marriage has been decided.

Although the wedding cannot be arranged in a big way because the prince is away, but what needs to be done still needs to be done.

After being hired by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he had already had his new house painted, but now that he thought about it, it was still too careless and he had to renovate the entire main courtyard.

Recently, we can't invite craftsmen into the house, so we have to do it ourselves.

The more Cheng Linhua thought about it, the more he realized that there were quite a lot going on.

Prince Chen's Mansion was given by the late Emperor when he was still alive. The prince was away at war all year round, and even after the death of the late Emperor, he was unable to return to the capital for the funeral.

In these years, the palace has no mistress, and the backyard is basically deserted. Although it is cleaned very well, it is too quiet. There are not even maids and mothers-in-law in the palace. I don’t know if the princess can bring more people here in the future...

Cheng Linhua was thinking wildly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there were too many things to do. He left without sitting down.

When he went out, he subconsciously glanced at a big tree in the courtyard. The tree was already empty and no one was there.

Xue Fengyan had quietly left the palace with Chu Qianchen, coming and going without a trace.

He was feeling miserable. He was only halfway through his nap, so he had no choice but to hold up his eyelids and leave.

Well, fortunately, Miss Chu Er is about to come through, which means that his mission will be over soon.

Thinking about it, Xue Fengyan suddenly felt that his life was promising.

After he left the palace with Chu Qianchen, he went to Jishi Hall.

This was an itinerary that had been arranged long ago. There were already several patients waiting for Chu Qianchen at Jishi Hall.

Chu Qianchen stayed in Jishi Hall for an hour and a half before leaving through the back door and taking a small path back to the Hou Mansion.

The day passed quickly, and when she stepped into the gate of Wanyan Courtyard, it was already dusk.

Hu Hua was busy, telling the little maids to prepare iced sherbet and mung bean soup for Chu Qianchen to relieve the heat, then asking someone to prepare water for bathing, and then asking someone to add an ice basin to the house.

Anyway, there is a lot of ice in Wanyan Courtyard now. Except for the Hou Mansion, the House of Internal Affairs also sent a piece of ice as a tribute to Princess Chen.

In this hot weather, ice is a good thing, so of course Chu Qianchen accepted it, and the maids in Wanyan Court also took advantage of it. They had a portion of iced mung bean soup every day.

After the emperor's imperial edict of marriage was issued, Wanyan Courtyard was also affected by the atmosphere of the Hou Mansion, and it was gloomy and gloomy for a time.

But because Chu Qianchen was so calm, the day passed and it also infected the servants in the yard.

Apart from anything else, the benefits of this marriage to Wanyan Court are always obvious. The monthly income has doubled in the past two months.

The maids moved quickly, and soon the iced sherbet and mung bean soup were delivered to Chu Qianchen. Immediately afterwards, someone came to report: "Girl, the second lady and the third lady are here."

"No." Chu Qianchen put down the spoon and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief. His voice was soft and soft, but also a bit casual.

"Hu Bo, go and tell the second lady that it's not good for the third sister to like writing playbooks so much. Ask her to discipline her well and don't let outsiders see the Chu family's jokes in the future!"

"Amber, go and tell it yourself."

"Girl, don't worry." Amber knelt down and accepted the order. He understood what Chu Qianchen meant and exchanged a tacit look with her.

The third girl is not doing her job very well, so she needs to be pushed.

The little maid next to her who came to report lowered her eyes silently. She always felt that Sister Hubo had become more and more... ahem, more capable since she was put in the girl's favor.

Hu Bo took the little maid out of the second room. The little maid carefully put down the Xiang Fei curtain so as not to make any sound.

Mrs. Liu and Chu Qianling were waiting on the corridor outside the hall.

Although it was already dusk, the weather was still a bit hot. There were some beads of sweat on Liu's forehead, and her expression was vaguely impatient and impatient.

If this had happened in the past, Mrs. Liu would have become angry a long time ago. As an elder, she was asked to wait here like a servant in the courtyard of a junior. It was simply unreasonable!

Faced with Madam Liu's anxious gaze, Amber remained calm and unhurried, walked out of the main room unhurriedly, and blessed Madam Liu casually: "Second Madam, Third Miss."

She repeated what Chu Qianchen said with a smile. Liu and Chu Qianling seemed to have been slapped, and their expressions became even more ugly.

Amber didn't care at all and sighed deliberately, "Third Miss, I don't know whether to say something seriously or not."

This is what she said in the scene, but in fact, before Chu Qianling could react, she continued on her own: "Those of us who are slaves work for our masters on weekdays, and we do our best, and we can't wait to use all possible means. I try my best to do it, but I am afraid that the job will not be done well enough. I am afraid that the master will think that the slave is not capable enough, and I am also afraid that the master will think that the slave is fooling..."

Putting aside what Chu Qianling was doing, Hu Bo's words were really sincere. The maids in the Wanyan Courtyard and the servants brought by Mrs. Liu felt very sad.

Yes, it is really not easy for them to be slaves!

However, when Chu Qianling heard these words, every word was barbed and every word had a meaning.

This **** is so brave. She is comparing herself to a slave and saying that she is fooling people!

Chu Qianling was ashamed, annoyed, and resentful. Her face turned red, white, purple, and purple, and the colors changed wonderfully.

Amber said again: "I'm short of girls. If the second lady and the third girl are fine, please come back."

After Amber finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Bad maid!"

Mrs. Liu angrily yelled at Amber's back and wanted to break in, but reluctantly held back.

"Mother..." Chu Qianling was anxious.

Her beautiful little face was full of anxiety and fear. She had obviously cried, and her eyes were still a little swollen and red.

The corners of her slightly moist eyes and the whitened cherry lips revealed a somewhat pitiful look.

She was really anxious.

The Shiquan ointment Chu Qianchen gave her in the morning can only be used for three to five days at most. When Chu Qianchen gets married, as the palace is as deep as the sea, it may not be easy for her to enter the palace, and it will be even harder for her to get it. It’s time for Shiquan Cream.

Mrs. Liu: “…”

Neither Chu Qianling nor Mrs. Liu actually pinned all their hopes on Chu Qianchen. They went to Jishitang to buy Shiquan ointment more than once, and even found a stranger's mother-in-law and a boy to pretend to be from Chu Qianchen. Out-of-towners went to buy it, but they still couldn’t buy it.

The clerk at Jishitang said that Shiquan ointment was made by a miracle doctor and contained very precious medicinal materials. The medicinal materials were scarce, so they were no longer sold. The clerk also enthusiastically recommended Jiuxu ointment to them, saying it had miraculous effects in treating trauma. The whole ointment is only good for removing scars.

Yes, Shiquan Cream is only better than Jiuxu Cream in removing scars.

For ordinary people, Jiuxu ointment is not as reliable as Jiuxu ointment, so why spend so much money to buy Shiquan ointment.

However, for Chu Qianling, what she wanted was Shiquan Cream, which could remove scars.

Now, apart from the miracle doctor from Jishi Hall who came and went without a trace, Chu Qianchen was the only one who still had Shiquan Cream in his hand.

Mrs. Liu closed her eyes and suppressed the surging undercurrent in her belly, knocking out her teeth and swallowing blood.

She said firmly: "Sister Ling, let's go back first."

The group of people came in a hurry and with great momentum, but left quietly.

At this time, Amber happened to walk outside Xiang Fei's curtain. She stopped, glanced at Mrs. Liu, Chu Qianling and their group, then opened the curtain and entered the second room.

The second room with an extra ice basin was far more comfortable than the main room. The temperature was like spring, neither cold nor hot, and there was a faint scent of incense in the air, which was just right.

The little black cat came at some point, curled up into a fluffy black ball beside Chu Qianchen, squinting, only the black tail with the first bit of white restlessly beside it. A little jump.

"Girl, the second lady and the third lady are gone." Hu Hu said.

Chu Qianchen smiled and said nothing.

She had just eaten a bowl of mung bean soup, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then took a sip of tea to get rid of the lingering taste in her mouth. Her movements and expression were still so calm and unhurried.

Just looking at her like this, Amber's slightly impetuous heart calmed down again.

Whether it’s Prince Chen’s Mansion, the Second Lady or the Third Girl, it’s actually nothing. There are girls.

Amber thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Girl, would you like me to bring over the roster of servants in the yard?"

What she was thinking was that since the marriage between the girl and King Chen was about to take place, she should choose a dowry candidate.

"Yes." Chu Qianchen put down the tea cup and responded casually. It seemed that he had not thought of this problem until now, and he touched the little black cat.

The little black cat raised its head and said "meow".

In this scene, there is a playful sense of "bring this cat with you".

Chu Qianchen tapped his delicate white fingers on the top of its head and whispered: "Don't worry, I won't forget you."

amber:"…"

Amber looked at the man and the cat and blinked slowly, then blinked again, feeling that there was something wrong with Chu Qianchen's reaction.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a thunder in her heart, and she suddenly understood.

Amber stared at Chu Qianchen with a strange look.

My girl is really big-hearted. The betrothal gift has been given and the wedding date has been set, but she doesn’t even take it to heart. It’s only now that she thinks the marriage will happen?

Thinking of Chu Qianchen's calmness during this period, Amber felt that everything was explained.

No wonder my girl has never done any celebrity work for the wedding, no wonder she is not shy about getting married, no wonder she has never allowed herself to pack a suitcase...

Thousands of thoughts were chaotically whizzing through the amber sea like thousands of horses galloping.

Amber felt that it was hard to say anything, and then she was enveloped by a sense of urgency.

The wedding is approaching, and there may be a lot of things to prepare for, and she has no experience. It is best to ask Aunt Chen for advice on what else needs attention.

Amber just wished she could grow three heads and six arms, and she would be so busy spinning like a top every day.

In contrast, Chu Qianchen still lived her life as usual. Even if she was getting married, she looked no different from before. She was not shy or uneasy. The only difference was that she started to pack up the medicinal materials.

In Wanyan's courtyard, there was gradually a sense of urgency that the wedding was imminent. Within three days, Chu Qianchen packed up the medicinal materials, decided who he would bring as dowry, and specially gave the roster to Shen for review.

In the blink of an eye, it’s the day before the wedding, which is the day when the dowry is given.

Chu Qianchen's dowry was extremely generous. In addition to the title of legitimate daughter given by the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Shen also gave her 20,000 taels of silver from her own pocket as the bottom line.

Red lanterns were hung in the Hou Mansion, and the courtyard behind the gate was filled with boxes of dowries. At dawn, Grandma Chen led people to check all the dowry boxes, making sure that nothing was missing.

The auspicious time has not yet arrived, and a tense atmosphere gradually filled the house.

No one expected that before Chu Qianchen's dowry was sent out, the Hou Mansion would receive a reward from the Queen Mother Yin.

The house suddenly became boiling.

Not only Chu Qianchen and Mrs. Shen, but also Mrs. Tai and people in each room gathered at the Yimen to listen to the Queen Mother Yin's oral instructions.

After sending away the chamberlain sent by Queen Mother Yin, Mrs. Shen asked someone to open the box of rewards. From the masters of each room to the servants, everyone couldn't take their eyes away.

Everything in the box is a rare treasure, such as a pair of heavy jadeite Ruyi, an enamel pot of red coral bonsai, a sapphire phoenix and dragon pattern stove, an enamel inlaid ivory jewelry box, etc.

This reward from Queen Mother Yin is a great honor.

Everyone had different expressions, some were envious, some were surprised, some were jealous, and some were relieved.

Mrs. Shen had been worried since last night, and only now could she breathe a little relieved.

Queen Mother Yin is King Chen's biological mother, and she values ​​Chu Qianchen. Even if King Chen doesn't like Chu Qianchen, everyone in the Prince Chen's palace will not dare to look down on Chu Qianchen.

Thinking about it, Mrs. Shen had a thought in her mind and ordered Nanny Chen: "Take this as the first step of the dowry and send it to Prince Chen's Mansion first."

Grandma Chen understood what Shen meant and immediately agreed.

Prince Chen's Mansion has been closed these days. If he rejects the dowry sent by the Hou Mansion today, the situation will be embarrassing. That's why Mrs. Shen proposed to use the Queen Mother's reward as the first gift, and she also wanted to take advantage of the situation. .

The Queen Mother is the biological mother of Prince Chen. Prince Chen's Palace may not give Yongding Hou Palace face, but it will not neglect the Queen Mother.

Next, the dowry, which was tied with a bright red ribbon, was carried out of the gate of the Hou Mansion by a big man wearing a new suit of clothes and new shoes. Each of these dowry bearers were full of energy and walked with wind.

The heavy dowry was carried out, attracting many people and passers-by to stop and watch.

Outside the Hou Mansion, there were crowds of people on three levels inside and outside. On such a happy day, the more people watching, the more joyful it is.

However, Mrs. Tai's heart felt like a huge stone was weighing on her. There was no trace of joy on her face, but more of worry: If the dowry could not come in today, then the Hou's mansion would be completely disgraced.

The way Mrs. Tai looked at Chu Qianchen couldn't help but be filled with anger: If it weren't for Chu Qianchen's destiny, how could the Chu family have been involved in such a thing! Broom star, really a broom star!

The madam rolled her sleeves and turned towards the main hall.

The other female relatives looked at each other in disbelief, and they all followed the madam into the hall.

The dowry is still being carried out one by one. There are more than two hundred dowries, and less than half of it has been carried out so far. I am afraid that by the time the first dowry is delivered to Prince Chen's Mansion, the last dowry will not be sent out from the Hou Mansion.

Ten Miles of Red Makeup is every woman’s dream.

But Shen couldn't be happy and felt uneasy.

Like Mrs. Tai, she was also worried that Prince Chen's Palace would refuse to accept Chu Qianchen's dowry, but it was not for the sake of the Marquis Palace's reputation, but for Chu Qianchen's sake.

Just imagine, if even her dowry cannot get through the gate of the palace, then tomorrow's wedding may not go smoothly...

Just thinking about it made Ms. Shen feel even more sad, without showing any trace of it on her face.

Mrs. Shen glanced at Mrs. Tai, fearing that Chu Qianchen would be influenced by Mrs. Tai, soothed her softly: "Sister Chen, don't think too much, tomorrow is your big day, everything will go well."

Chu Qianchen said softly, "Hmm" and pursed his lips with a smile.

Those beautiful phoenix eyes were shining brightly, and her smile was as bright as a flower, and she didn't look worried at all.

Mrs. Shen was infected by her, and the corners of her lips curved slightly, feeling in her heart: This child has such a big heart.

Chu Yunmu looked back and forth between Shen and Chu Qianchen, thinking that Chu Qianchen was getting married tomorrow, and felt reluctant to part with them.

He also wanted to grab Chu Qianchen's skirt, but he thought it was something a little girl did, so he held back again. His shoulders were drooped and he looked wilted.

He couldn't help with anything, he couldn't help deliver the dowry, and he couldn't carry Chu Qianchen to the sedan chair tomorrow...

Chu Qianchen rubbed his head and said, "Mom, Brother Mu, let's go sit for a while."

The three of them also went to the main hall and sat down.

In fact, Shen's heart has been hanging.

When the 200th was carrying the dowry out, a servant finally came back happily and said: "Madam, Madam, Prince Chen's Mansion is open! The second girl's dowry has been sent in!"
