Chapter 372 Daily Pampering of Wife - The Prince Obeys His Commands
In less than two days, an imperial decree was issued from the palace, appointing Zhao Chufei as the Crown Princess, and the wedding would be held two months later.
Gu Huan sighed when she heard the news.
Everyone has his own destiny and pursuit.
Zhao Chufei didn't want to marry Zhao Yuxuan because she saw that he was cowardly, and she also saw the Queen's ruthless means after her ambition was exposed. As a royal relative since childhood, she had sharp eyes and knew very well that the cowardly Zhao Yuxuan would be controlled by the Queen's Sun family. It was not a good thing for her to be such a queen, so she didn't want to get involved in that muddy water.
But now it has become Zhao Yufeng who has become the emperor, and with the protection of Mu Junyan, who is upright and has a large army under his command, he will at least help Zhao Yufeng to sit firmly on the throne until he can become independent.
Afterwards, Gu Huan had no time to take care of these things in the palace, because the palace was in a mess due to the influx of applicants from all directions.
Mu Junyan's most powerful move was to directly kick Min Dongsheng out of the list of candidates, and the emperor also directly conferred the title of Hanlin Bachelor on Min Dongsheng.
Although he was the top three scholar, the official position he received was quite high.
Min Dongsheng took office that day.
The Regent's Palace needs to recruit staff, and all reception matters will be the responsibility of the Palace.
Gu Huan and Dong Qing were busy all day. When the sun set, Mu Junyan came back with Min Dongsheng having a complicated expression on his face.
It seems that he was dragged here by Mu Junyan.
"you……"
Gu Huan glared at him, not knowing what to say.
Mu Junyan smiled and said, "We haven't had our meal yet."
Gu Huan had no choice but to accept her fate and let someone else take care of it.
The kitchen was well stocked with all the finest dishes that Mu Junyan liked to eat, and soon the table was filled with food.
Mu Junyan pulled Gu Huan aside and said, "Princess, you have worked hard. Let's have a drink together."
Gu Huan looked at Min Dongsheng.
"Today is Lord Min's first day in the Imperial Academy, so let's congratulate him."
After Mu Junyan said this, Gu Huan naturally sat down: "Such a happy event, of course we have to drink a few cups."
Min Dongsheng was already terrified, so he quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your presence, and thank you, Your Majesty, for promoting me."
Mu Junyan pushed him down on the chair and said, "You have been with me for so many years, and you still don't know my rules? You are not allowed to be too polite. Huan'er is also a person who doesn't like complicated things."
Gu Huan smiled and said, "That's true. I'm most afraid of being too polite."
Mu Junyan looked around: "Where's Dong Qing?"
"She's been busy all day, so she's going to eat now."
"Let her come along."
Gu Hua was surprised: "Should Dong Qing come to eat together or serve?"
"Let's eat together. The palace depends on her now, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for sharing the burden with the princess."
Gu Huan quickly glanced at Min Dongsheng and saw that his face changed slightly, turning red and white.
I laughed in my heart. Now let’s see what he will do.
"Yun'er, go and ask Dong Qing to come and have dinner with you."
Yun'er agreed, and just as she was about to leave, she heard Gu Huan add, "Tell her that Mr. Min is here too, and that we are here to congratulate him today."
Yun'er understood immediately and agreed with a smile.
After a long while, Dongqing came with a red face.
She was wearing an emerald green jacket with narrow sleeves and a front opening, a moon-white pleated skirt, a green jade hairpin on her head, earrings of the same color, a little makeup on her face, and cherry-red lips.
Her waist is as slender as a willow, her back is as sturdy as a bamboo, and her steps are steady. She is less immature than a girl and more capable.
Mu Junyan hadn't seen Dong Qing for a long time, and at first glance he didn't recognize her.
"Are you Dong Qing? You seem like a different person, no worse than the noble lady in Bian Jing."
Gu Huan nodded in satisfaction: "How can the noble ladies of Bianjing compare to our Dongqing? She manages the huge palace in perfect order. Who can compare to those delicate noble ladies? If anyone marries our Dongqing as the mistress of the house, the family will surely prosper."
Dong Qing's face turned even redder, and she bowed hurriedly: "Your servant Dong Qing greets the prince, the princess, and... Lord Min."
Min Dongsheng was also full of surprise, and he quickly stood up and returned the greeting.
Dong Qing was so scared that he squatted deeper and was half a head shorter than Min Dongsheng.
He is a third-rank official, and she is just a servant.
Now it is even more unworthy.
Min Dongsheng quickly reached out his hand to help her: "Miss Dongqing, there is no need to be so generous."
Holly retracted his arms and stood up properly.
Gu Hua: "Dongqing, you've been busy all day, hurry up and sit down and have dinner with us."
Dong Qing's expression tightened: "I am a servant and I will just serve my masters."
"You are the head female steward of our palace, why do you need to serve us? Yun'er, let her sit down quickly. Sui'er, bring a set of bowls and chopsticks."
The two maids laughed and pushed Dongqing onto a chair and set the table for her.
Dong Qing had dined with Gu Huan before, but never with Mu Junyan, not to mention that Min Dongsheng was also added, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Mu Junyan started eating, and Gu Huan kept passing food to Dong Qing, praising her all the time.
Dongqing's face was as red as a cooked shrimp. She didn't even dare to raise her head and chewed slowly and quietly.
Min Dongsheng's face was as red as if it had been roasted.
Mu Junyan blinked at Gu Huan and asked, "Look, am I very powerful?"
Gu Huan was speechless and rolled her eyes at him.
Is this called eating? It's almost like being sentenced to death.
"It's just right that you two are here. I have something to say."
Mu Junyan was used to marching and fighting, so he ate very quickly. He put down his chopsticks after finishing two large bowls of rice.
Holly was chewing a shrimp carefully and almost choked because of the fright.
He raised his eyes nervously, neither swallowing nor spitting out the shrimp in his mouth.
Gu Huan understood her. When she first got close to Mu Junyan, she was also frightened like a rabbit.
She smiled and said, "You eat yours, the prince eats quickly, and he talks about his things."
Looking back, Min Dongsheng had also put down his chopsticks, and his eyes would occasionally sneak a glance at Dong Qing next to him.
Gu Huan said hurriedly: "Mr. Min, please continue eating with Dong Qing."
Min Dongsheng felt it difficult to put down his chopsticks now, but he also knew that Dong Qing was not full. The bowl was piled with vegetables like a mountain, all of which were picked by Gu Huan.
He was not afraid of Mu Junyan, so he simply nodded: "Then I am sorry, Your Majesty, please speak."
Mu Junyan pursed his lips and smiled: "Well, you guys eat, I'll talk."
In order to get Dong Qing to eat, Min Dongsheng picked up the bowl and continued eating.
Mu Junyan gave Gu Huan a mischievous smile: "The emperor admires Mr. Min. Not only did he confer an official title on him, he also plans to grant him a marriage."
Phew.
Gu Huan, who had just taken a sip of tea and was about to rinse her mouth, and Min Dongsheng, who had a mouthful of food, spit out tea at the same time.
Both of them were facing Mu Junyan.
Mu Junyan: "..."
Gu Huan jumped up in shock and took out a handkerchief to wipe his face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Yun'er and Sui'er were startled for a moment, but they quickly reacted and hurried to fetch water and handkerchiefs. The servants also hurried to bring clean robes.
Mu Junyan waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll go change clothes and come back."
He stood up and walked behind the screen, and after a flurry of activity he finally cleaned up the place.
Holly didn't spray, but she almost choked to death.
After everyone calmed down and sat down, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and awkward.
Gu Huan was a little annoyed, but she couldn't say anything to Mu Junyan in front of the two of them. She glared at him secretly and guessed that he wanted to provoke Min Dongsheng and Dong Qing.
I could only cooperate and whisper, "Which noble lady does the emperor want to marry?"
Dong Qing glanced at Min Dongsheng quickly with her panicked eyes, then quickly lowered her head, bit her lip and said nothing.
Min Dongsheng's face turned pale: "Your Majesty, are you kidding me? I am just a minister, how could the emperor grant me marriage?"
Mu Junyan smiled and said, "You are a new and important minister that His Majesty relies on. You are not married yet, and His Majesty is very concerned about you. Now that you are a third-rank official, you naturally look down on girls from ordinary families, so His Majesty asked me to ask you, do you have a girl you like?"
Dongqing looked up suddenly and stared at him.
Min Dongsheng avoided her gaze.
Gu Huan couldn't stand it anymore and deliberately said, "Mr. Min can marry whoever he wants. Our Dongqing has been choosing every day these days. Dongqing's status is no worse than that of a noble lady. I must choose a young, handsome and talented man to be her match."
Dongqing saw Min Dongsheng lowering his head and not looking at her, her eyes slightly red.
Suddenly she stood up, bowed, and choked up, saying, "I am of low status, so I am not worthy of a talented man. I have a distant cousin who happened to come here to apply. Although he is not talented and will never be a staff member in the palace, he wants to find a job as a servant in the palace because he wants to marry me and he can accompany me. I want to ask for the princess's grace."
Min Dongsheng was stunned.
Gu Huan looked at Mu Junyan.
Mu Junyan didn't expect this either.
