Eunuch Cao raised his hand to hit him, but the emperor waved it off, "What's the use of hitting or not? Go and do what I told you to do."
Once the two brats get married and have children, they probably won't have time to go to the palace to tease Luo'er.
That seems pretty good.
Defei had actually been worried about Mu Xue's marriage and was hesitating whether to ask the emperor to let her leave the palace. However, before she could stand up, she heard Qing'er say that Eunuch Cao had arrived.
"Your servant would like to congratulate Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort first."
Eunuch Cao came in and greeted with a smile.
Concubine De thought the good news he was talking about was her son's marriage, so she said with a smile, "Eunuch Cao, please don't be so polite. Are you here to congratulate me?"
"I have come to see you, Your Majesty, with good news."
Concubine De looked puzzled, and Eunuch Cao stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "The Emperor has allowed the Empress to live in the Marquis of Qingyuan's mansion and to oversee the arrangements for the Princess's wedding."
"Thank the Emperor on my behalf."
Defei's smile became more genuine. After seeing off Eunuch Cao, she asked Qing'er to pack her luggage and return home.
"Your Majesty, you really get what you want."
Qing'er packed her bag and said happily.
"you do not say."
…
The carriage stopped in front of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Defei got off the carriage with the help of Qing'er. The people in the mansion were cleaning. When they saw Defei coming in, they knelt on the ground.
"Everyone, get up."
Marquis Qingyuan was directing people to work, and Madam Mu was not idle either. She was arranging the maids and servants to help Mu Xue decorate the bridal chamber.
When the two heard the servants' salute, they turned to look at Concubine De who was walking towards them and saluted as well.
"What are my brother and second sister-in-law doing?"
De Fei helped the two of them up and said, "The Emperor specially allowed me to come back. With my second sister-in-law here, I can be an idle person."
Although this second sister-in-law is sometimes a little confused, she has good intentions and is very good to Xue'er. By letting her take charge of the wedding preparations, Concubine De really feels that she can be an idle person.
Madam Mu stood up and said with a smile, "The princess will be very happy that the queen is back. She must help me find out if there are any omissions."
"Okay, I'll check with my second sister-in-law later to see if there's anything that needs to be carefully arranged."
The three of them entered the main hall, and as soon as Qingyuan Hou opened his mouth, the smile on Concubine De's face disappeared.
"Have you been behaving well in the palace recently?"
Concubine De's dignified appearance could no longer be maintained. "What are you talking about, brother? If I don't behave myself, will the emperor allow me to leave the palace?"
"Besides, once my son gets married, I'll be the grandmother, so don't worry about me."
In front of the servants, he really didn't give her any face at all and treated her as if she was just a maid.
Marquis Qingyuan frowned when he heard this, worried that his unreliable sister might not realize it, so he spoke up to remind her.
"I don't worry about your affairs. You are the mother of the Second Prince. You don't care about your son's marriage, but come to the Marquis' Mansion to help your niece. What if Miss Du has a grudge?"
"Don't worry, brother. Shuyan has Madam Du over there. It would be inappropriate for me to interfere."
The marriage between her son and the third prince was arranged by the Ministry of Rites, so she didn't have to worry about it. However, although she would not interfere with Du Shuyan's affairs, she would send Qing'er to ask about her, so as not to appear to care about her daughter-in-law.
The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh. She would add makeup to Xue'er. Similarly, when Yan'er came to the palace to offer tea, she would also give something of the same value.
She loves her niece and will not let her daughter-in-law suffer.
"Qing'er, please help me convey a few words to Miss Du."
After finishing her instructions, Qing'er turned and left.
After they talked for a while, Mu Xue came in from the door with a smile on her face.
"aunt."
Mu Xue walked over to Concubine De and sat down. "I thought I would only see you on my wedding day, but I didn't expect the servants to tell me you've returned home."
"I heard from my brother that you must prepare your own wedding dress," Concubine De took her hand and said, "Let me see if your hand is hurt."
"No," Mu Xue let her examine her hands and said softly, "It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing. I think I'll feel more at ease if I prepare myself."
If she gets married and leaves everything to the servants, then what's the difference between her and other people's marriages?
This has been her wish for two lifetimes. Although the Third Prince is not in a good condition now, her wish has been fulfilled. She will try her best to change the rest and let him stay with her forever.
Concubine De didn't know about the third prince, and seeing Mu Xue like this, she was really happy for her.
The Third Prince knows Xue'er so well that Xue'er will definitely not suffer any injustice after they get married.
"I don't care how you stay up late now, but you can't stay up late the day before the wedding, understand?"
Mu Xue nodded, "The wedding dress is ready, and my second aunt is helping with other things, so I don't have much to do."
"By the way," De Fei suddenly changed the subject and looked at Qingyuan Hou, "Brother and sister-in-law, have you invited the person who blocked the door and asked the question?"
"Blocking the door?"
Mu Xue looked puzzled, "Is there still such a process?"
"Yes," Qingyuan Hou suddenly smiled, thinking he had thought of something that could make the Third Prince embarrassed. He stood up and said, "I'll go and ask Li Yunhe."
With Li Yunhe here, let’s see how the third prince takes Xue’er away.
"It didn't exist before, but later this process was added to make it more difficult for the groom and make him more determined to marry the bride."
After Concubine De finished explaining to Mu Xue, she saw that Marquis Qingyuan had already left the main hall.
Mu Xue looked at her father's back and pursed her lips.
She didn't spend much time with her father since she was a child, and now she is getting married early because of His Highness's health condition. Although her father doesn't show it on his face, he must be very upset in his heart.
…
When Marquis Qingyuan arrived at the Prime Minister's Residence, Li Yunhe had just returned from the academy and was surprised to see him.
"My Lord, what brings you to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Master Li, are you free on the 16th?"
Li Yunhe nodded. On that day, when the second and third princes got married, all the civil and military officials would come to watch the ceremony together, so there would naturally be time.
"That's good," Qingyuan Hou said with a smile, "Then I'll trouble you to help my daughter block the door that day."
While the two were talking, Prime Minister Li walked out of the main hall. Seeing the two people at the door, he turned around and walked to the door, speaking in confusion.
"Why don't you and my son come into the mansion to discuss your matter?"
"No need, I'll ask Master Li to help me block the door."
Prime Minister Li asked uncertainly, "Blocking the door? On the wedding day?"
"Yes, Lord Li has already agreed. I will leave first."
"My Lord, wait a minute," Prime Minister Li said with a smile after calling Qingyuan to a halt. "The Second Prince personally came to the mansion to invite my son, and I have already agreed on his behalf."
Marquis Qingyuan frowned, but said nothing in the end. Was Heng Yi worried that he couldn't answer the questions asked by the person who stopped him, so he actually invited Li Yunhe to go.
What a bad thing.
After all, it was the Second Prince who said it first, so Marquis Qingyuan couldn't say anything else. He just said it was okay and turned away.
"Dad, why did you agree to this for me?"
