Chapter 254: A Generous Reward
Princess Jinde's residence and Prince Jingyang's residence were so close to each other that Chen Tang arrived before he had even had enough time to ride his horse.
From a distance, I saw a sedan chair parked in front of the palace gate, and the second wife came out of it.
When Chen Tang and Xie Guimo entered the inner courtyard, they saw the fourth wife coming up to them quickly. They didn't know what the second wife said, but the fourth wife was smiling, but the smile faded a little after seeing Chen Tang and Xie Guimo. "When this is done, I will definitely thank the second sister-in-law."
The tone of his voice sounded as if the position of military official was already a sure thing for the Fourth Master.
With such a big matter, the Second Wife shouldn’t be able to help much, right?
Chen Tang took one more look, and the Second and Fourth Madams walked towards Wutong Courtyard while talking.
Chen Tang turned around and told Ginkgo, "Go find out where the second wife is."
Ginkgo will do this.
Chen Tang and Xie Guimo returned to Chenxiangxuan. Xie Guimo went to the study. Chen Tang went back to his room to drink a cup of tea. Ginkgo came back and told Chen Tang, "The second wife went to the palace today. I don't know who she met..."
There is no doubt that the Second Wife entered the palace to ask Concubine Ye for help in seeking the position of a doctor in the Ministry of War for the Fourth Master.
The princess was unwilling to help, so she submitted a letter to the palace herself. If Concubine Ye really helped the Fourth Master, she would definitely say that she did it for the princess's sake. In the end, this favor was still owed to the princess, and Chen Tang was used to it.
Ginkgo asked, "Should we tell the prince?"
Chen Tang said, “Now I kind of hope that Concubine Ye can help get this done.”
ginkgo,"……???"
The Crown Prince's Consort does whatever she wants.
Didn’t you not want the princess’ help before?
Chen Tang didn't want the princess to help, and didn't want the princess to be ordered around by those people with ulterior motives, but she didn't expect that the second wife would directly bypass the princess and go to the palace to ask Concubine Ye for help.
The news that she was given a sterilizing drug in Wutong Courtyard spread like wildfire in Kyoto. Xie Guimo even went to the palace to see the emperor with bruises all over his face. It was impossible for Concubine Ye not to know about this.
Concubine Ye and the princess are cousins. When the Fourth Master wanted to seek an official position, it was not the princess who submitted the letter to the palace, but the Second Wife. Concubine Ye and Prince Qi helped him a lot and really helped the Fourth Master get the position of Langzhong of the Ministry of War. This made the princess seem dispensable. Concubine Ye did not care about the princess' feelings, which was a good thing for Shen Tang.
She could use this matter to provoke the princess later. Concubine Ye wouldn't be able to make any excuses. She didn't believe that Concubine Ye would not be able to see through the twists and turns in the inner house. She was able to sit firmly on the position of concubine and suppress the queen to the point of suffocation.
…
The next day was Shen Ran's wedding day.
The weather was fine, with a cloudless blue sky.
There was no need to go to the Huaihua General's Mansion to help entertain the guests, and Chen Tang and Xie Guimo did not need to go there in advance. By the time they arrived, almost everyone would have been there.
The groom was about to return with the bridal sedan, but Chen Tang did not even enter the inner courtyard. He stayed in the outer courtyard for about a quarter of an hour, and then the sound of firecrackers and suonas began to deafen the sky.
The etiquette for getting married is almost the same.
Shoot the bridal sedan.
Help the bride out of the sedan chair.
Cross the fire pot.
Saddle up.
Then they worship heaven and earth and are escorted to the bridal chamber.
General Huaihua and his wife were sitting there with smiles on their faces. They had been worrying about their son's marriage, but then a prospective daughter-in-law fell from the sky. She had a good family background, good looks, and talent. Even if they were the parents, they might not be able to choose someone so good. How could they not be envious?
The fruit wine from the Huaihua General's Mansion was delicious, and everyone praised it highly. Even Chen Tang, who seldom drank, tried to drink one cup after another, finishing half a pot.
When you drink it, you don't feel anything, but after you finish drinking, the alcohol starts to take effect.
When the banquet was over, Chen Tang's steps were a little unsteady. Xie Guimo came to find her and saw that her face was red. "Did you drink?"
Chen Tang was slightly tipsy, "The fruit wine tastes good."
Xie Guimo shook his head and laughed, then helped Chen Tang onto the carriage.
The two of them came together in a carriage, so naturally they would go back together. Besides, Chen Tang was a little drunk, so he was worried about leaving him to the maid to look after him.
Xie Guimo had never seen Chen Tang drunk. Chen Tang had never been drunk before, and she didn't know what kind of person she was when she was drunk. Xie Guimo helped her sit down, but Chen Tang refused to do so and asked Xie Guimo, "Why didn't you let me sit in your arms today?"
As she said that, she sat in his arms.
Sitting was not enough, she also put her arms around his neck and rubbed it against his neck.
This is a life-threatening situation.
Chen Tang was going out of the house to attend a wedding banquet today. Xie Guimo didn't bother her last night. At her age, she was full of vigor and had drunk a lot of wine. How could she withstand such teasing? He grabbed Chen Tang's hand that was hugging his neck and said, "Be good, don't make trouble."
It took him a long time to pull Chen Tang's hand down, but before he knew it, Chen Tang was holding his face again.
There was drunkenness in his eyes.
Xie Guimo really wanted to try how delicious the fruit wine from the Huaihua General's Mansion was. If it wasn't delicious enough, the person in his arms wouldn't drink it like this.
Xie Guimo thought so, and then his mouth was blocked.
He always took the initiative, and Chen Tang had no time to hide. Today was the first time that Chen Tang took the initiative, and it happened in a carriage. A certain gentleman was about to explode.
He couldn't wait to go back to Jingyang Palace, but Huaihua General's Mansion was in opposite directions from Jingyang Palace, and the distance was far. Xie Guimo tasted the aroma of fruit wine, and he said to Shen Tang, "Kiss me again, and don't regret it."
Chen Tang was even more drunk and couldn't hear what he was saying. He continued to hug her face and kiss her, while his hands were still touching her randomly.
Everything he usually did was repeated to him.
Xie Guimo gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to fasten the curtain, and ordered, "Go around the west of the city and then go back."
Chen Qi was a little confused.
The Crown Prince's wife is drunk. Why doesn't she go back earlier? Why does she have to go around the west of the city? This circle will take at least another quarter of an hour.
Chen Qi didn't dare to ask more questions, so he had to do as he was told and lead the way.
Inside the carriage, the temperature was rising.
Fortunately, the sound of the wheels rolling was loud enough and the street was noisy enough to cover up any noise.
When the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Jingyang Palace, Chen Tang had already fallen asleep. A certain master looked very satisfied, but there was a clear tooth mark on his neck.
Even the coachman was not sure what had happened in the carriage, so the maids and servants would certainly not make random guesses.
But the teeth marks were too obvious.
The maids giggled.
You can see it.
The Crown Prince's wife has very sharp teeth.
Xie Guimo carried Chen Tang back. Mother Zhou saw Chen Tang sleeping and asked Yin Xing, "Didn't the Crown Prince's Consort go to the General's Mansion in Huaihua for the wedding banquet? What happened?"
Gingko said, "The Crown Princess is fine, she's just a little drunk."
We were all drunk, but nothing happened.
Whose prince and princess went out of the house to attend a wedding banquet, and the prince was fine, but the princess was carried back drunk. This is not right.
Mother Zhou asked, "How much wine did the Crown Princess drink?"
Ginkgo said, "Just half a pot of fruit wine."
Mother Zhou: "..."
Can fruit wine make you drunk like this?
How bad is his alcohol tolerance?
