Dongfang Ruoxue seemed to be bewitched and shook her head slightly: "It's just a little itchy..."
"Have you applied the medicine the Crown Princess gave you?"
"Don't you really feel disgusted?" Dongfang Ruoxue felt disgusted when she looked in the mirror in the morning. She could imagine how the people who saw her would feel.
In fact, she also knew that the news of her disfigurement must be circulating in the streets. Bad news spreads far and wide, and she was also at the center of controversy before. Such news would naturally attract many people to watch the fun.
Lian Muhan took another step forward and looked at her with a faint smile: "Very beautiful."
Dongfang Ruoxue lowered her head, her neck flushed: "Master Lian, I..."
"I just came to see you and protect your safety in the dark. I heard that you came to paint, and I just want you to rest assured..."
"rest assured?"
"Yes, don't worry, I proposed to your father and mother yesterday..."
Dongfang Ruoxue no longer cared about being shy: "How can I marry you in this state? Aren't you wronged? Also, has my father agreed?"
Lian Muhan looked at her with a smile in his eyes, and a hint of teasing. Dongfang Ruoxue was a little anxious: "Why don't you say something? It's such a big deal..."
She wanted to ask why her mother didn't come to tell her before, but then she remembered that marriage was always decided by parents, so why would her parents ask for her opinion?
So for a moment I didn’t know what to say.
No wonder he said to reassure me. Oh, by the way, reassure me, does that mean the marriage is done? Really, my face is broken, is my brain broken too? I'm so stupid.
"Prince Shou has handed your engagement letter to me, and I have asked someone to calculate an auspicious time. Of course, it will be the nearest auspicious time. So, please rest assured and don't work too hard these days. The Crown Princess doesn't need your painting, but I can't do without my wife..." Having said that, no matter how shameless Lian Muhan was, he couldn't help but smile to hide his embarrassment.
"You...really..." Dongfang Ruoxue couldn't even finish her sentence. "You came here and you're not afraid of gossip, but I am."
"Okay, I'll leave right away, but I think I should tell you this in person."
"Okay, I understand." Dongfang Ruoxue's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
After Lian Muhan left, the car from the Shouwang Mansion arrived soon and took Dongfang Ruoxue back to the Shouwang Mansion.
Dongfang Ruoxue saw her mother coming out to greet her with a happy face: "You are finally back. This carriage is too slow. Mother can't wait any longer. The tailor is here and is waiting to measure your wedding dress. Mother already knows your size, but you have lost a lot of weight recently, so of course she needs to measure it first."
Dongfang Ruoxue smiled and nodded.
Shou Wangfu was suddenly stunned: "Did you know? Look at me, what I said is not making sense, you kid, I told you to make auspicious clothes, you didn't even have a strange expression, and you didn't even ask me what I was making auspicious clothes for you. "
Dongfang Ruoxue came back to her senses and said hurriedly, "I think my mother thinks I can't get married, so she made me a set of wedding clothes to celebrate the occasion."
Princess Shou shook her head when she heard her answer: "No, mother has found a good marriage for you. Guess which family is the one who proposed marriage?"
"Mother, how can a girl bring up such things? You are the one who makes the decision. As long as you don't go to marry, you can choose whatever you want." Dongfang Ruoxue said vaguely on purpose.
Lou Wanyue just happened to walk into the room: "Are you serious? Sister, are you really okay with marrying anyone?"
She looked amused.
"Sister-in-law, you come again. I won't listen to you and tell my brother that you can't talk too much." Dongfang Ruoxue was so embarrassed that she had no place to vent.
Lou Wanyue pushed her and said, "You are so lucky. As the old saying goes, fate is determined by heaven." When she said this, Princess Shou nodded.
"I won't hide it from you. It was Lian Muhan, the son of the Lian family. You are very familiar with him. He saved your life. If you don't believe in fate, I don't know how to describe it. When the imperial decree came down and asked you to marry, mother didn't know what to do..."
"Mother, even if Ruoxue is really disfigured, she is still a dignified princess. It is so pitiful that she is the only one who does not want to marry. Now that Master Lian is here to propose marriage, our Ruoxue will marry him." Lou Wanyue naturally could not speak for Lian Muhan. After all, she had relatives in the Lian family. In fact, she was quite optimistic about this marriage.
Princess Shou came back to her senses, smiled and nodded, "See how confused I am. Come in quickly, we have business to attend to. The Lian Mansion has already exchanged engagement letters with us. By the way, mother hasn't asked you if you are willing or not."
Lou Wanyue knew that Dongfang Ruoxue was willing, but she also knew that she would not be embarrassed to admit it, so she smiled and said: "Ruoxue will certainly be happy with the marriage chosen by mother, but if she is not happy, she will not be tolerated. When she gets married, she will know that mother's vision is right, and she will naturally be grateful to mother."
"Wanyue is right. Mother is really confused." Princess Shou was genuinely happy.
Although Lian Muhan is not an official and has no influence, she has gone through so much and it is impossible for her not to have heard the rumors. Her daughter's disfigurement is a huge blow, but he doesn't mind. His heart is purer than gold.
She was genuinely happy.
She no longer cared about status. After all, her daughter wouldn't have to suffer after getting married.
Dongfang Ruoxue began to prepare happily.
Lian Muhan was the same. Accepting the marriage proposal, asking for the name, accepting the marriage proposal, accepting the betrothal gift, and asking for the date of marriage made him very busy, but he was so happy that he didn't even feel sleepy. He did everything by himself and didn't even let others interfere. His mother looked at him with both heartache and relief. Fortunately, Dongfang Jin sent people to help him. An Qingran was the same. She asked him from time to time if he needed help. Although she wanted to blackmail him, she let him go when she saw him like this. She would talk about the conditions later. Although she couldn't go out, she had made many suggestions, such as which silk was good, which rouge was good, and which jewelry could be customized...
Emperor Yunqi did scold Dongfang Ye. Dongfang Ye was extremely angry after returning, but he was also preparing for the wedding. If he did not marry Lei Yuezhu, his father would directly demote him to a commoner. Now in his eyes, he was no more than a grass. He was angry but couldn't vent. His reputation as a playboy in the capital had long surpassed Dongfang Jin. Now it seemed that what Dongfang Jin did at that time was just to drink and have fun, and he didn't do anything really philandering. But he was different. He slept with these women first and then married them. So even when they quarreled in the mansion, it was not easy for them to point out each other's shortcomings, because he was the same kind of person.
However, he was not without any expectations for Lei Yuezhu. That fiery woman was similar to An Yanran. Now, most of the time, he began to miss An Yanran's kindness. She treated him sincerely. Although she was a little stupid, at least she would not harm him. The same was true for Lei Yuezhu. Her eyes were so alluring. Although she mistook him for Dongfang Jin, she was still an outstanding woman after all, and the others in his mansion had seen enough of her.
There are two people who cannot be touched at all. That one is An Ranyue, who has a gloomy face all day long, as if someone owes her something.
Now that she has moved into the mansion, he doesn’t have to go out to look for women every day.
Little did he know that the women in the mansion were furious when they heard this, and they united as never before.
On the surface, the relationship between Huang Ying'er and Shen Zhiyun seemed pretty good, because the two pregnant women would often exchange experiences with each other. An Ranyue was jealous to the point of going crazy, but she had no choice because her pregnant woman was not doing well. She was occasionally favored by him, but there was no sign of anything happening, so one can imagine the hatred in her heart.
However, on this morning, the two pregnant women appeared in her room together. As soon as they came in, they greeted her with a smile. She didn't want to get angry on the spot, so she just nodded and said, "Sit down. Didn't the prince not allow you to come to the morning reception? Besides, I'm worried about you. You have such big bellies, you should rest well. Lin'er is here. If you miss him, I'll have someone bring him to you and play with him for a while."
Shen Zhiyun did like Dongfang Lin, because he had taken care of him for a long time and had feelings for him, and Huang Ying'er was his wet nurse and also liked being with him. What's more, this child was the eldest grandson, and everyone was vying to dote on him, regardless of whether it was true or not.
But every time after they visited Dongfang Lin, he would fall ill. An Ranyue took the opportunity to tell Dongfang Ye about it. She didn't say clearly how they treated Dongfang Lin, but she made sure to let him know about Dongfang Lin's condition. This made Dongfang Ye very angry and he didn't allow the two of them to visit him anymore.
The two people explained that if they really wanted to harm the child, how could the child become sick after they visited him? Wouldn't that be too obvious?
Dongfang Ye was so troubled by them that he simply ignored them and refused to let them see the baby. Seeing that their bellies were getting bigger, how could they not have other thoughts in their minds? If one of them was pregnant with a boy, Dongfang Lin would naturally be a thorn in their eyes. The hereditary right of the eldest son was decided by their ancestors and they could not change it. So could they not resort to some means?
I witnessed those things happening. Isn’t Dongfang Jin an example?
He felt deeply touched by the experience.
When the two women heard An Ranyue say this, their faces became very stiff. Shen Zhiyun sat down and said, "Sister, Lin'er doesn't cry often now, right? Whenever we see Lin'er, he gets sick. We think it's because of our conflict, so it doesn't matter if we don't see him. As long as Lin'er is fine, we will be relieved. Besides, sister is the most dedicated."
Huang Ying'er didn't dare to sit down, she was a concubine, An Ranyue gave way again, and she sat down: "Yes, the child has suffered a lot since childhood, but the emperor gave him the name Yongxi, and now he is much safer."
"Yes, the emperor likes this grandson." An Ranyue smiled. At this moment, this child is her own. "You all came to me today. I think there is something going on?"
"Sister, have you heard that Prince Kang is going to marry a princess?" Shen Zhiyun blurted out.
