Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the dude to take power

Chapter 186 Making New Clothes

"What deal?"

Xiao Sheng did not respond, but poured himself a cup of tea. It was a very cold winter day, so the tea cooled down quickly.

Seeing that he was silent, Tuoba Muyuan was not anxious. Since he mentioned it first, there must be more to come.

However, Xiao Sheng said, "Try this tea. Our Daliang's most famous Keemun black tea is grown in Anhui. Only a small amount can be tributed to the palace every year. It's very rare."

Tuoba Muyuan likes to drink, but he also has some understanding of the tea culture of the Central Plains.

People in the Central Plains like to drink tea.

"Men are most comfortable drinking wine. This tea cannot reflect the care between you and me."

Xiao Sheng lowered his eyebrows and smiled.

They were not drinking tea, but gambling.

He signaled everyone in the room to retreat, leaving only him and Tuoba Muyuan.

Tuoba Muyuan was somewhat expectant.

"Prince Mu Yuan, what do you think of Chen Jingting?"

"Your Highness? What does His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin mean?"

"In the last match, Chen Jingting won. But if it were on the battlefield, I wonder who would win between Prince Mu Yuan and Chen Jingting?"

On the battlefield? Chen Jingting had never been on the battlefield, but Tuoba Muyuan was a seasoned warrior.

If we really take a walk on the battlefield, it’s really hard to say who will win or lose.

Seeing that Tuoba Muyuan had begun to waver, Xiao Sheng said, "Whoever gets this girl will get the world. Are you familiar with this kind of prophecy?"

Tuoba Muyuan said: "Of course I am familiar with her. My sister was also designated as a goddess. That's why several princes of the Northern Kingdom competed to make my sister their concubine?" However, it failed to stir up any disturbance in Daliang.

Xiao Sheng chuckled.

"Yes, but do you know who designed this rumor?" Without waiting for Tuoba Muyuan to guess, Xiao Sheng said, "It was Chen Jingting."

"He entered Xixia and created a mystery, making people believe that your sister was the daughter of destiny. He then sneaked into the Northern Kingdom and spread this news to several of the Northern Kingdom's princes. His goal was to disrupt the marriage between Xixia and the Northern Kingdom."

Tuoba Muyuan felt a pang of anxiety.

Whoever gets this girl will get the world?

He originally thought it was a coincidence, but he didn't expect it to be man-made?

"Your Highness Prince Jin, do you need evidence to speak?"

Xiao Sheng shook his head.

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you."

"..."

princess mansion

The New Year is approaching, but the princess's mansion has not prepared anything yet.

Early this morning, the chief steward of the princess's mansion, Qu Ying.

Come and report to him.

And handed the list to Wen Xingchen.

This is not the first time Wen Xingchen has been in charge, so she knows exactly what to prepare.

So when I saw the list, I felt that something was missing, so I made another list.

Chen Jingting had been sitting next to him, and when he saw Qu Ying, his eyebrows twitched slightly.

This steward is really handsome.

Seeing that the princess didn't take him seriously, she took the list and said, "I'll go prepare these things."

Chen Jingting has been in charge of purchasing for the family recently and knows what needs to be prepared.

He glanced at the list. The princess's list was very detailed, so detailed that it seemed as if she had dealt with it many times.

"Did the princess learn housekeeping when she was in the Wen family?"

Wen Xingchen shook his head.

Xu likes to hold power in her hands and will not let others interfere in the affairs of the mansion.

But she had been a princess, a queen, and an empress dowager in her previous life, so she knew a lot about these things.

But now?

She doesn't seem to understand much.

"No one has taught me. I've seen the Queen prepare things before, but I don't know if this is the right way to prepare them."

Although Chen Jingting was in charge of purchasing, it was all odd jobs and he only knew the general idea.

"If Princess doesn't know, why not ask your sister-in-law to come over and have a chat. She's in charge of household affairs now, and she knows what needs to be prepared."

Chicken, duck, fish, meat, fruits, vegetables, snacks, these are all small things. But there are still some details to be done.

There are still some rules to follow during the Chinese New Year.

Chen Jingting said, "It's okay not to prepare. Let's be lazy and go back to live here during the New Year."

It’s okay for Wen Xingchen to be lazy, but he still has to prepare what he needs to prepare.

Afternoon

Yingying was placing several styles of red envelopes in front of her and asked her to choose one she liked.

Wen Xingchen looked around and thought it was good.

In addition to the red envelope, the mansion also prepared new clothes for the princess and her husband.

Wen Xingchen looked at the new clothes, but he did not forget Yingying and the others.

"Has the Clothing Bureau made new clothes for you?"

Yingying shook her head.

"I'm afraid it's too late."

"Let them make you clothes overnight. It's a new year, a new look. Everything will be new for you."

"Yes, thank you princess."

Wen Xingchen changed into new clothes and took them off. Just as she was taking them off, Yuanyuan came in and said, "Princess, the eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family is here with Miss Huiru."

Wen Xingchen ordered someone to come in.

Mrs. Lu came in, followed by Huiru, Mrs. Lu's daughter.

"Your Highness pays respects to the Princess."

Wen Xingchen stood up to greet him.

"Why are you so polite, sister-in-law? We are all family, come and sit down."

As soon as Mrs. Lu came in, she felt the heat coming towards her. The princess was wearing spring brocade, but even so, she still looked elegant and luxurious.

Mrs. Lu didn't dare to look around, but sat down with her respectfully.

Thirteen or fourteen-year-old Huiru is already as tall as Lu, and the two mother and daughter look a bit similar.

But those eyes looked very much like her father Chen Jingye, calm and steady.

Wen Xingchen asked Yingying to serve tea, snacks and fruits.

The Chen family is now managed by Lu, and she knows that the expenses of such a large princess mansion must be very high.

But she is a princess, and all these expenses are settled by the royal family.

Mrs. Lu sat down and said, "Princess, today I heard that my fourth brother said he wanted to help the Princess's Mansion with shopping, so I came to ask if you need my help."

Wen Xingchen chuckled and said, "It really is."

Wen Xingchen saw the red seal still lying next to him and was worried about which red seal to use.

"Sister-in-law, come and take a look. I have some red envelope styles here. Please help me choose the best one to use."

The red envelope expresses blessings, and Wen Xingchen's is a purse made of satin, embroidered with different patterns.

Mrs. Lu looked at it and chose a purse with the word "Fu" on it.

"It's New Year's Day, so let's be more festive."

There is also a goldfish in the pattern. Huiru thought it was very cute and kept looking at it several times.

Wen Xingchen saw this scene, and Huiru also seemed to feel the princess's gaze. She looked up and smiled at the princess.

Wen Xingchen also laughed.

She told Yingying to put the things away and chose the lucky purse.

“Make more.”

"Yes."

The snacks arrived at this moment, and Wen Xingchen asked the mother and daughter to taste them.

The two stayed in the princess's mansion for a while before going back.

Wen Xingchen had a lot of things to deal with that day. When Chen Jingting came back in the evening, Wen Xingchen took out the new clothes he had prepared today and asked Chen Jingting to change into them.

Chen Jingting was used to being casual, so he said, "As long as it fits."

Wen Xingchen shook his head.

"No, the clothes should fit you properly."
