Chapter 776 A God-given Marriage (Second Update)
After Qingping saw off the caravan, he saw her daughter holding a brocade box, and the housekeeper followed behind, holding a brocade box, as if she was about to go out.
She asked: “Where are we going?”
“East Palace.”
Qingping was surprised, "It's broad daylight. The prince has not taken a break today and is not in the palace."
"It's okay, I'll go to the East Palace to wait for him." Duan Hua said matter-of-factly.
Qingping was silent, "Are you going to deliver something to the prince?"
"Well, there are two things in Su Rong's gift to me. They are for the prince's cousin." After she finished speaking, she opened the brocade box as if offering a treasure, "Mom, look, these are a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants. They are from Su Rong. It was given to us, saying that we are blessed by God and have a happy marriage."
Qingping immediately laughed, "They are a pair of top-grade jade with extremely good water quality. It is really rare to make a pair of jade pendants." Her eyes fell on something she was holding in her hand, and she wondered, "You use silk thread to make it What?"
“Just because it’s still early, I went to the East Palace to wait for the prince’s cousin and tie the knot at the same time.” Duan Hua added, “This jade pendant needs the tie.”
Qingping nodded, "Okay!"
She didn't know what to say anymore and looked at the housekeeper again, "What's that in your hand?"
"It's a dagger." The steward quickly opened the brocade box and showed it to Qingping.
Qingping didn't see Su Rong's letter to Duan Hua, and was a little confused. He asked the same question as the housekeeper, "Why is there still a dagger?"
"Su Rong saved the prince's cousin before and got a dagger from him as a reward. He promised the prince's cousin that after going to Nanchu, he would find one for him from the private arsenal of the king of Nanchu. Now he will give it to me. , let me forward it to the prince." Duan Hua said: "Oh, mother, I will tell you when I get back."
"Okay, okay, let's go!" Qingping was helpless, thinking that he really couldn't help his mother. He had never seen it before. After Duanhua promised to be the prince, he was like this. He just got something and he didn't stay in the house for a moment. , even if the person is not in the East Palace, he will be sent there in a hurry.
She hasn't seen what Su Rong wrote in the letter yet.
Duanhua quickly got into the carriage, took his things with him, left the princess's residence, and went to the East Palace.
Qingping turned back to the housekeeper and asked, "Have all the things been collected into the princess's private treasury?"
"yes."
“Let’s go and take a look.” Qingping was curious about a few legendary things. He had never seen them before and was very curious.
The housekeeper nodded and happily accompanied Qingping to Duanhua's private treasury.
Duanhua came to the East Palace, and the steward of the East Palace invited him in with rare and respectful manners. Now that he stepped into the palace gate, the princess' identity was not just the princess, but the future mistress of the East Palace. The entire Everyone in the East Palace must be respectful.
Duan Hua also clearly felt that the housekeeper's attitude was different and she became more respectful. She held the two gift boxes in her arms and said, "I also went to the yard where I lived last time. I was tying up my clothes there while waiting for the prince's appearance." Brother, go back home."
The housekeeper was stunned and said, "Uh, okay, good princess."
"No, there's no rush." Duan Hua shook his head, "I'll just wait. Don't delay the prince's cousin's business."
The housekeeper nodded, "Okay, Princess, please." The housekeeper personally took Duanhua to the residence where she stayed last time. He also had people bring fruits and tea, and then he stayed with her to talk to her.
The housekeeper didn't see Duan Hua ask His Highness the Crown Prince what he had been doing recently, so he took the initiative to talk, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been coming back very late every day recently. He is also supervising the Ministry of Revenue to busy with farming and spring planting. It will soon enter the rainy season, and there are still many things to do." God’s dammed waters everywhere.”
Duan Hua nodded, "Su Rong also said in her letter that she was very busy and didn't get enough sleep every day. When she was busiest, she slept for two hours a day." She sighed, "If I slept two hours a day, I wouldn't be able to bear it. Stay. Hey, it’s not easy to be a prince."
The housekeeper nodded, "Our Highness has also said that the situation in Nanchu is more serious than that in Daliang, and the Crown Prince is busier. After all, she has to intervene in everything. Unlike our Highness, who has been the crown prince since he was a child. How about the state affairs, the Crown Prince Your Highness has always been aware of it. Although it was chaotic for a while, at least it was easy to get started and the chaos was not to the root. Nanchu was shaken to its foundation because of the lineage between the Nangong family and King Liuan."
"Yes, the King of Nanchu really...doesn't take good care of the king, which makes Su Rong tired." Duanhua complained.
The housekeeper couldn't accept this and could only remain silent.
Duan Hua added: "Su Rong complained a lot about her biological father in the letter. Hey, it's useless for me to think about it. If I had learned her skills since I was a child, even if I wanted to go to Nanchu to help her, it would be useless. It’s my fault that I was playful when I was young.”
The housekeeper smiled and said, "You can't go. If you go, our Highness will not have a princess."
Duan Hua was amused and said, "No way. Everyone is vying to sit on the crown prince's cousin's princess."
The butler is very good at talking, "Even though I say so, our Highness must be willing to marry her."
Duanhua liked hearing these words and said happily with his chin in his hand: "Hey, who calls me beautiful and lovable? Su Rong has already said that it is best for the prince's cousin to marry me. It is really an advantage for him."
The housekeeper was stunned, thinking, does the lady still say such things? This is really what he said to the princess. Who is cheaper? No matter how His Highness looks at it, he is not the one who gets the advantage, right?
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Duanhua took out the letter, found the page, and showed it to the housekeeper, "Come and see, she really said that."
The housekeeper leaned over to read it, with mixed emotions, "The Madam is absolutely right, Your Highness is really lucky to marry you."
Duan Hua chuckled, "That's right, I think so too. If the prince's cousin wasn't a good man, he wouldn't be able to marry me."
The steward's mouth twitched. What he said made sense. If His Highness was not good-looking, even if he was the crown prince, the princess would definitely not marry him. She would marry someone good-looking. Why. I really didn’t expect that His Highness would marry based on his reputation in the end.
Duan Hua put away the letter and waved to the housekeeper, "Go and do your work. I'm going to start tying the knot."
“Would you like me to send two skilled men to help you?” The housekeeper was surprised that the princess could still tie the knot.
"No, I can." Duan Hua shook his head, "I want to do it by myself, and my maid will help me separate the lines."
The butler nodded and excused himself.
After he left, he walked to a deserted place and called someone to tell him, "Go and send a message to His Highness, saying that the princess is here, carrying a letter from the Queen of Nanchu and two brocade boxes." , the princess said that she would wait for His Highness to come back, and she was not in a hurry. Although she did not say that someone would inform His Highness, the old servant thought that he still had to inform His Highness. "
This person should have remembered the words and left the East Palace.
Yan Huisheng was in the meeting hall. He was quarreled by several important officials in the court all morning. His head hurt from the quarrel and he couldn't tell the difference. He waved his hand to stop a few people and let everyone rest. In short, today and tomorrow, we must come up with a plan for water control.
It’s the last day of the month, my dears, monthly tickets, okay?
