Chapter 173 Getting Married
"!" Chen Xun agreed deeply. After working for Jiang Ruyin, he had blocked or avoided so many plots and tests from the dark. How could he fall for a woman?
Chen Xun became more confident and secretly began to wonder if there were any small movements that he had not noticed.
Seeing Chen Xun lost in thought, Jiang Ruyin curled her lips. The prerequisite for praising someone too much is that the other party has an arrogant heart.
"Your reason is quite interesting. I will forgive you this time. If there is a next time, you will be beheaded." Jiang Ruyin held the white piece and with one move, the black pieces lost the whole game.
Chen Xun stood up straight with a serious look in his eyes, "Your humble servant understands."
After a moment, Chen Xun retracted the handkerchief and said seriously, "Your Majesty's health has almost fully recovered, and the root cause of the illness left over from her early years has also been healed."
Jiang Ruyin remained silent as her eyes flickered. This meant that her body was already capable of bearing children, but she also had to bear the risks of childbirth.
Jiang Ruyin gazed into the distance, the thick palace walls blocked all sight. There was a hint of emptiness in her eyes. Her home was just south of the Forbidden City.
After a long while, Jiang Ruyin took out something and handed it to Chen Xun, "Take a look and see if there are any inappropriate spices in it."
Chen Xun pursed his lips, first unscrewed the lid, leaned in to smell the scent, then rubbed the intact cream twice with the back of his little finger, and then rubbed the back of his thumb until his fingertips felt slightly warm. He then leaned in again, his nose twitching slightly, and said slowly:
"In addition to the main notes of peach blossom and violet, there are also frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood, patchouli, etc. There is nothing wrong with this product."
Chen Xun raised his head with a blazing gaze, "I may be able to resolve the matter your Majesty is worried about. However, this matter involves past events and the Imperial Hospital's chief judge, so I know very little. If your Majesty asks sincerely, I will tell you everything I know."
"nothing."
After Chen Xun left, Jiang Ruyin thought carefully and called Fu Qiu, "There should be a lot of surplus cloth and jewelry in the warehouse from the ones sent home half a month ago. Please pick out some good ones and send them to Concubine Qian."
The Yanxi Palace is peaceful and tranquil.
The young eunuch guarding the door had already received An Lingrong's order. As soon as he saw Fu Qiu, he hurried forward to welcome him and others into the Yanx Palace.
In the main hall, An Lingrong saw Fu Qiu from afar, and her heart skipped a beat. Ever since the mention of Peach Blossom Dew yesterday morning, she had always felt panic in her heart, and had to avoid Jiang Ruyin in a hurry whenever she met her sight. But after just one night, people from Yongshou Palace finally showed up.
With a nervous mood, An Lingrong sat cross-legged on the couch, her hands clasped quietly under her sleeves.
"This servant pays respects to Her Majesty Concubine Qian. May Her Majesty be blessed with prosperity and good health."
"Miss Fu Qiu, please stand up quickly. Does Concubine Fang have any instructions?" An Lingrong stretched out a hand to support her, with just the right amount of confusion on her face.
The sight of the palace maids holding trays behind Fu Qiu made An Lingrong feel a little relieved.
Fu Qiu smiled and stood up, then lifted up a few red silks on the trays nearby. "Replying to Her Majesty, Concubine Qian, I have been ordered to deliver these cloths and jewelry to Her Majesty."
An Lingrong shifted her gaze slightly and casually looked at a few of them: the gilded silver hairpin with double phoenix pattern, the gilded kingfisher hairpin, the gold-plated and kingfisher-inlaid hairpin, the gold-inlaid turquoise leaf earrings, and the gold-dug white jade bracelet with five blessings and longevity pattern. They were all top-notch items, but An Lingrong felt a little uneasy.
"I wonder what your Majesty means?" An Lingrong asked, moving her lips.
Fu Qiu's smile grew more sincere upon hearing this. "Your Majesty, you may not know that our Majesty's sister is getting married today, and Your Majesty specially selected these for me to deliver."
"This, this," An Lingrong suddenly became incoherent, her lips trembling, and the corners of her eyes flushed. "How can I...?"
Fu Qiu just smiled, "Whether it can be used or not is naturally up to the two majesties. Your majesty's sister is not a blood sister, and there is a saying that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. I am afraid that our majesty has prepared two dowries."
An Lingrong was speechless and choked with tears, her eyes glistening with tears. The patterns and materials of the double phoenix pattern, the gilded kingfisher feather pattern, the gold-inlaid turquoise, and the five blessings holding longevity pattern suddenly became vivid and bright.
"Hurry up and bring the purse. We can't let Miss Fu Qiu make this trip in vain. Pack a big purse!" An Lingrong's voice was hoarse, and she could not hide her joy. She hurriedly changed the subject.
Baozhi also responded happily.
"Then I will be honored to refuse your offer." Fu Qiu smiled and bent his knees.
At the same time, the Jiang family in Jiangnan Prefecture was very lively today.
In front of the Jiang Mansion, bright red wedding silk was hung all over the door lintel, and the crowd was bustling with joyful sounds.
Father Jiang, dressed in finery and smiling, exuded a sense of elation, occasionally exchanging pleasantries with the guests who came to congratulate him. In a moment of leisure, Father Jiang whispered to Borjigit, "It's a pity she's from the royal family. Otherwise, I could have devoted my entire family to arranging a grand wedding for Ruyin."
Qin stood in the corner, her expression both nervous and gratified. She wore a plain brocade dress, and her slightly trembling hands betrayed her inner excitement. Her gaze followed her daughter, tears welling in her eyes, her mind filled with the image of her daughter's tearful expression as she had just given him instructions.
"It's a pity that the young master joined the army last year, otherwise our family's only young man would have carried the second young lady on his back to marry, which would have been more honorable." The nanny on the side said regretfully.
Qin shook her head and said, "I am already satisfied that Ruzhuo can marry the man of her dreams. If Zhedi is willing, let him go. The sky is high and the birds fly freely."
Moreover, with the Forbidden City's leader in charge, neither Jiang Zhedi nor Jiang Ruzhuo would be inferior to others. This was already the best outcome. It was precisely because of Qin's intelligence that she knew how to be content.
Jiang Ruzhuo, adorned with a phoenix coronet and a gorgeous bridal robe, sat upright in the bridal sedan, her slightly trembling fingers betraying her nervousness. Beneath the veil, her eyes were slightly red, a mixture of apprehension and anticipation.
The area in front of the prefectural government gate was also bustling with activity, with lanterns and decorations adorned and firecrackers blasting.
The handsome young groom stood beside the tall horse, dressed in a red robe, a golden crown on his head, and a gentle smile on his face. He bid farewell to his grandparents and his father and mother, straightened his clothes, and mounted the horse with steady steps.
The Jiang Mansion and the prefectural mansion were only a hundred meters apart, both located in a famous and prosperous area.
A bustling crowd stood on both sides of the street. A girl's eyes widened with envy, "Look at this scene! The Jiang family is just a generation of merchants, but the daughter of a merchant can marry into the prefect's family as his wife. It's really unexpected!"
A merchant in fine clothing curled his lips, his face mysterious, and said, "You don't understand this! The eldest daughter of the Jiang family is the current Concubine Fang, and she gave birth to the Sixth Prince. With this relationship, who would dare to say that a girl from the Jiang family married the eldest grandson of the prefectural family?"
A bystander suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly: "I see, no wonder the scene is so grand. It seems that this girl from the Jiang family will have a good life in the future."
Another passerby joined in the gossip, "What about the eldest grandson? He's also a concubine! He has no achievements, and he married the sister of the Empress in the Palace, the concubine of the Sixth Prince. Who knows who is marrying up!"
