Chapter 630 Wedding Dress
“Oh?”
Chu Shengrui looked at Chu Jinnian with some curiosity.
Chu Jinnian always talked about official business. This was the first time I heard him speak in his favor.
The submarine fire soldiers, water guns and other similar things were nominally prepared by Chu Yunzhao, but Chu Shengrui also knew how much effort Chu Jinnian put in behind the scenes.
He did not ask for any fame or credit, but instead gave all the benefits and credit to Chu Yunzhao.
Although Chu Shengrui did not particularly agree with this kind of thing, the object of borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha was Chu Yunzhao...
As a father, especially the current emperor, how could he not want his son to appear smart and capable in front of the ministers and the world? Chu Shengrui admired Chu Jinnian's discretion more and more. Seeing him serious at this time, he became more interested, "Tell me, what do you want me to decide for you?"
Chu Jinnian cupped his hands and said in a clear voice, "Your Majesty, I have reached the age of marriage, but I still have no family, so I dare to ask Your Majesty to grant me marriage."
Arranged marriage?
Chu Shengrui's eyes almost fell to the ground.
Chu Jinnian had never thought about his own lifelong affairs. Even when the empress dowager urged him repeatedly, Chu Jinnian turned a deaf ear and made excuses, trying to postpone it as long as possible.
Previously, Chu Shengrui heard from the Queen Mother that Chu Jinnian said that the Princess of Qi had arranged a marriage for him, so he did not let the Queen Mother arrange it for him. He also said that if he was satisfied after meeting the person, he would marry her.
The Queen Mother said that Chu Jinnian was very confident in what he said, and she believed it without a doubt. However, in Chu Shengrui's opinion, this was just an excuse for Chu Jinnian to avoid being forced to get married.
But today, I heard from this person that he asked for a marriage.
Chu Shengrui felt that it was quite rare to see the sun rising from the west.
"It's quite strange to hear you say this." Chu Shengrui laughed, "But now that you mention it, I am very curious. If you want to ask me to grant you a marriage, I wonder which lady you are interested in?"
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask Your Majesty to grant me a marriage with Princess Ninghe." Chu Jinnian answered loudly.
Princess Ninghe?
Chu Shengrui was stunned again.
It’s not that he didn’t know this person, but he knew that Princess Ninghe was originally just a peasant girl.
Although he did not despise people from farming families, and even felt that poor families were more likely to produce noble sons, this was only in a few cases. In most cases, farmers lacked vision and knowledge due to their hard work in middle age.
If such a person became Chu Jinnian's legal wife, would the two of them be in marital discord and have nothing to say to each other?
For example, he and the Queen...
While Chu Shengrui was distracted, Chu Jinnian continued, "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, this marriage was arranged for me by my mother. I only learned about it this year, but I went to see Princess Ninghe and found out that she is well-educated, intelligent and hardworking. Princess Ninghe and I have a lot in common, so I specifically asked Your Majesty to grant me this marriage."
Chu Shengrui finally came back to his senses from the two shocks. He looked at Chu Jinnian with a playful smile on his face.
It has to be said that Chu Jinnian has been cold to everyone for so many years. Chu Shengrui has always thought that Chu Jinnian was greatly traumatized by the incident between the Prince of Qi and the former Princess of Qi, and no longer knew how to get close to people or how to love others.
But now, since the marriage was already arranged by the Princess of Qi, even if he had directly invited an official matchmaker and proposed marriage in person, all future matters would have to be handled according to etiquette. However, Chu Jinnian insisted that Chu Shengrui grant the marriage.
Anyone with eyes can see that Chu Jinnian clearly wants to bring infinite glory to the Lady of Ninghe County.
It can be seen that Lady Ninghe is really as he said, and she is in love with him. A person who is in love with him must not be an ordinary woman.
Secondly, it is to shut up the King of Qi and Luo.
After all, the emperor has granted the marriage and his word is final. Prince Qi and Luo can no longer interfere in his marriage.
Think about all the experiences Chu Jinnian had since childhood, how the King of Qi favored his concubine and killed his wife, and the Qiao family behind him...
"Since you have proposed it, and this is a happy event, how can I not agree?" Chu Shengrui laughed, "But in my opinion, it is more appropriate for the Queen Mother to grant the marriage than for me to grant the marriage."
Chu Jinnian is the empress dowager's most beloved grandson. She has raised him by her side for many years and is most concerned about Chu Jinnian's lifelong affairs. If the empress dowager arranges the marriage, she will be even happier and will also add a lot of things as a betrothal gift, or give it to Princess Ninghe as a dowry.
More importantly, it fulfilled the Queen Mother’s long-cherished wish.
"Don't worry. Although this marriage was arranged by the Queen Mother, the rewards I should give will not be less at all." Chu Shengrui said with a smile.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Chu Jinnian kowtowed to express his gratitude.
Chu Yunzhao on the side laughed and said, "Father is too partial to me."
"Why are you partial? It's rare for a happy event to happen in the palace, isn't it normal for me to give more rewards?" Chu Shengrui glanced at Chu Yunzhao and said, "Besides, when it's your turn to get married, I won't treat you badly."
"Thank you, father." Chu Yunzhao also thanked and smiled.
The three of them were all smiling and chatting happily because of Chu Jinnian's marriage, and they almost completely ignored the two people standing beside them, Wei Ge Lao and Chu Yunhe.
At this moment, the expressions of these two people were extremely ugly.
One reason is that when Chu Shengrui treated Chu Yunhe, he was dignified but also polite. This attitude was no different from that of ordinary ministers, and was even less intimate than some ministers whom Chu Shengrui deeply trusted.
But when Chu Shengrui faced Chu Yunzhao, the intimacy and naturalness were true to the way a father and son get along with each other. Seeing this, Chu Yunhe felt very uncomfortable and was even more envious and jealous.
The second reason is naturally because of Chu Jinnian’s marriage.
It can be said that the title of Princess Ninghe was proposed by the two of them. In theory, Princess Ninghe and Zhuang Qisheng are on the same page and belong to them.
Chu Jinnian asked to marry Princess Ninghe, and kept saying that this was a marriage arranged by Princess Qi long ago, and that he had met Princess Ninghe a long time ago.
In other words, Chu Jinnian and Princess Ninghe had known each other for a long time, and when they proposed to confer the title of Princess Ninghe, Chu Jinnian strongly agreed, and the reason he added fuel to the fire was because she was his fiancée!
Therefore, the two of them are simply making wedding dresses for others.
Chu Jinnian got all the benefits for nothing! Chu Yunhe and Wei Gelao exchanged glances, and they both immediately understood each other's meaning.
Since it was they who proposed to confer the title of Princess Ninghe on her for her contribution in building the waterwheel, they also had reasons to find trouble for her.
