Chapter 246 Break
Shen Ran nodded repeatedly, "I'm glad that my second sister is okay. I was scared by those rumors yesterday."
She took Chen Tang's arm and walked into the garden, then said, "Fourth sister is here too, and is helping me greet those ladies from wealthy families."
Princess Jinde and her husband have only one daughter, Shen Ran. Chen Luo came early to help Shen Ran entertain guests. Except for severing ties with the second branch of the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion, Shen Ran's relationship with other people in the mansion is better than before.
In the garden, flowers are in full bloom, and ladies of noble families are chasing and playing, with laughter and joy all the time.
Shen Luo didn't expect Shen Tang to come, and said, "My eldest brother came back from Jingyang Palace yesterday and said that you were fine. I thought my eldest brother was afraid that grandma would worry, so he comforted her."
Chen Tang said, "It's just a little rash. It will be fine after the effect of the medicine wears off."
Shen Ran was a little worried and asked in a low voice, "Is it really okay after taking the sterilizing tea for a few days?"
This matter was widely spread yesterday, and today the ladies are still discussing it. It sounds as if the second sister has been misled and will never be able to have children again.
Shen Sui had no children, and the issue of offspring was a hot topic in the Marquis' Mansion. Shen Ran naturally knew how serious it was to have no offspring.
Chen Tang said, "We found out in time, the damage is not serious, don't worry."
"I'm glad that my second sister is okay," Shen Ran felt relieved.
If it weren't for her second sister, her life would have been ruined, and she would never have the chance to meet her biological parents.
She didn't want Chen Tang to make any mistakes.
Even Shen Ran and Shen Luo didn't expect Shen Tang to come, let alone those ladies, especially those ladies who were still talking about Shen Tang a moment ago. Their faces turned red with embarrassment, fearing that Shen Tang would hear what they were talking about.
Knowing that Chen Tang was fine, the ladies said, "The Crown Prince's Consort of Jingyang is blessed with great fortune, and those dirty tricks can't harm you."
Then I wish Chentang and Xie Guimo a baby soon.
For those who are going to consummate their marriage that night, this blessing is really embarrassing to hear.
Chen Tang was fine. Since he had come to Princess Jinde's residence, he had to help greet those ladies from wealthy families. They talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was particularly good.
Princess Jinde loved Shen Ran like the apple of her eye. She gave him the best of everything, even the fruits and snacks used to entertain guests were tribute fruits. In order to prepare the wedding banquet, she invited the imperial chef to the palace early and made all kinds of snacks, all of which were exquisitely made.
Everyone was drinking tea and eating snacks in the pavilion, laughing non-stop. A little maid in a light yellow dress came over quickly, panting, "County Lady, the emperor went to court this morning and issued an edict to confer the title of Prince of Yu on the eldest prince. He also granted him a mansion and allowed Prince of Yu to choose an auspicious day to open the mansion."
After the maid finished her report, the ladies from wealthy families began to discuss the matter.
One lady couldn't help but ask curiously, "When the emperor conferred the title of Prince of Qi, the eldest prince wanted to split up the palace. Didn't the emperor disagree? Why did he suddenly agree?"
The ladies were all shaking their heads, and the earrings on their ears were swaying.
Who can guess what the emperor is thinking?
A lady from a prominent family asked, "Didn't the Emperor grant a marriage to the eldest prince?"
This is nonsense. If the marriage was granted, the maid would have reported it at the same time. The marriage, the title of king, and the mansion should be granted together.
It is really strange that the emperor made the eldest prince a king without arranging a marriage for him.
Chen Tang sat there, thinking of what Xie Guimo said, that the emperor would confer a title on the eldest prince and grant him a mansion within three days, proving that his guess was correct.
Only one day had passed and the emperor had conferred the title, which was enough to prove that Xie Guimo was right.
Shen Tang couldn't help but feel happy.
If the emperor favors the eldest prince more, it will be much easier for them to support him.
In this life, Concubine Ye and Prince Qi will never be able to sit in that position again.
Chen Tang sat there, drinking tea happily, listening to the ladies' speculations. However, even though they were speculating, they were cautious in their words and actions. After all, it was a matter of state affairs and no one was allowed to make irresponsible comments.
As they were talking, a maid came in and said, "County Lady, two girls from the Jiang family are here to bring you some makeup."
After hearing this, Shen Ran quickly put down the teacup and went out to greet Jiang Ning and Jiang Li.
Chen Tang also stood up. After walking a few steps out of the pavilion, Jiang Ning and Jiang Li came over. When they saw Chen Tang, they couldn't believe it, especially Jiang Li, who thought she was seeing things. "Cousin?"
Shen Tang smiled and said, "It's me."
Jiang Li's eyes widened, "You are not..."
"My elder sister and I were thinking of going to see you at the Jingyang Palace after sending off the dowry."
Sending dowry is a happy event. After all, Chen Tang is sick, so she still has to be a little cautious. She will first go to Princess Jinde's mansion to send dowry, and then go to Prince Jingyang's mansion.
But they didn't expect that Chen Tang was also in Princess Jinde's mansion.
Chen Tang smiled and said, "I'm fine. I know there are rumors about me outside the mansion, so I just took the opportunity to send some makeup to my third sister to dispel them."
Jiang Ning said, "When my grandparents heard about this, they were furious and heartbroken."
Chen Tang said, "I will go and pay my respects to my grandparents in a few days."
The two nodded repeatedly.
Shen Ran asked Jiang Ning and Jiang Li to help her greet the guests. Not only today, but there will also be a wedding banquet at the Princess's Mansion tomorrow, and they were asked to help. Jiang Ning and Jiang Li readily agreed.
Originally, Chen Tang wanted to sit for a while and then leave. With so many people there and everyone having a great time, not only did he not go back early, he also had lunch at Princess Jinde's residence.
By the time she returned to Prince Jingyang's Palace, the sun was almost setting.
Walking up the steps, Chen Tang entered Chenxiangxuan, and then she was in a trance. There were red silks hanging on the trees and wedding characters posted on the door. It was as if she was back to the day when she married Xie Guimo.
The courtyard was decorated exactly as it was that day, not to mention the house. When Chen Tang entered the house, he saw a pair of dragon and phoenix candles that had not been lit since nightfall, and wedding cakes and fruits were piled high.
Everything was red, making her face red.
Being hugged from behind, a hint of pine and cypress scent penetrated into my nose, a strange feeling spread throughout my body, and a complaining voice was heard in my ears, "Fortunately, you still remember to return home..."
Chen Tang, "..."
Chen Tang also knew that she came back late, but her tone was too resentful. If you didn't know better, you would think she was going to abandon her husband and children.
Chen Tang whispered, "I was going to Princess Jinde's mansion to give my third sister some dowry. How could I get lost?"
"That's not necessarily true."
Chen Tang had a headache. She turned around and looked at Xie Guimo and said, "The eldest prince was named Prince of Yu, and the emperor allowed him to open a palace. Does this have anything to do with you?"
Xie Guimo said, "In order to confirm the emperor's thoughts, I tried a little bit."
It was indeed his work.
But Chen Tang didn't expect that he was so trusted by the emperor that he could easily influence the emperor's decision.
Xie Guimo laughed, "How can it be so fast to confer the title of king and grant him a palace? The emperor should have drafted the imperial edict a long time ago, otherwise it wouldn't be so fast."
That's true.
However, the imperial edict came so suddenly that it definitely caught Concubine Ye and Prince Qi off guard.
