Just as the betrothal gifts were being delivered to General Su's mansion, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the direction of the gate.
The people looked in the direction of the sound of horses' hooves and saw a man dressed in dark red clothes embroidered with gold thread, exuding both nobility and joy. He wore a white jade crown, and his features were so perfect that they seemed to have been carefully sculpted by God. He was truly a man of imposing stature.
The man arrived at the front of the mansion, dismounted, and entered General Su's mansion.
Some commoners who recognized Xiao Yanchu called out, "It's the prince! It's the prince!"
"My goodness, the prince has actually come in person to propose marriage."
"Your Highness values Princess Chang Le so much."
In the Great Chu, the man usually does not need to be present when the betrothal is made; the matchmaker can represent him.
But now Xiao Yanchu has arrived and personally proposed to Su Ruojin, which shows how much he values this marriage.
"If I could marry a husband like the prince, I would have no regrets even if I died," a woman in the crowd said enviously.
Her companion rolled her eyes at her, "How can you compare to Princess Chang Le?"
"It's not wrong to think about it even if you can't compare."
"Sigh, yes, it's nice to think about."
Inside General Su's mansion.
After exchanging greetings, Lady Su smiled and said, "General Su, Lady Su, I have come today on behalf of the Regent to propose marriage to Princess Chang Le of your esteemed household. I have watched the Prince grow up since he was a child; he is of upright character, and his heart is only for Princess Chang Le. He and Princess Chang Le are the perfect match."
The birth dates and times of the two children have already been calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, and they are a match made in heaven. We urge General Su and Madam Su to betroth Princess Chang Le to the Prince.
Before this, Xiao Yanchu had already discussed the betrothal with General Su and his wife, and the two were prepared. However, they did not expect that today it would be the Lady of Anguo who came to propose marriage.
Although Marquis Anguo was only a marquis, his prestige in the Great Chu was no less than that of the Duke's mansion. When he saw Xiao Yanchu's betrothal gifts, he was truly shocked.
They never expected that Xiao Yanchu would send betrothal gifts in 208 baskets, each basket meticulously prepared without any perfunctory attitude. This truly showed that he cared deeply about their Xiao Jin.
Madam Su looked at the birth chart in her hand, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Xiao Yanchu's kindness to Xiao Jin was evident to her, but as a mother, she felt somewhat reluctant to see her daughter get married so soon after returning home.
However, since Xiao Jin has found such a perfect husband and the two children are in love, Madam Su cannot keep her daughter by her side forever.
Just then, the gatekeeper announced, "The Regent has arrived."
Xiao Yanchu strode in and knelt down directly in front of General Su and his wife.
“Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please rest assured to entrust Ajin to me. I, Xiao Yanchu, hereby swear that I will only have Ajin as my wife for the rest of my life, and will never take a concubine. I will respect her, love her, and protect her. If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning.”
After speaking, Xiao Yanchu solemnly kowtowed three times to Su Yunfeng and his wife.
"Oh, oh, good boy, get up quickly." Madam Su's eyes welled up with tears as she hurriedly helped Xiao Yanchu up.
A child like this is worthy of Xiaojin.
Su Yunfeng looked at Xiao Yanchu with satisfaction. The fact that the dignified Regent had personally come to propose marriage and made such a vow to him and his wife showed his sincerity towards Xiao Jin.
"Your Highness, Xiao Jin is the apple of my Su family's eye. No one, no matter who, is allowed to bully her. Otherwise, no matter who the other party is, I, Su Yunfeng, will be the first to not let them off the hook!"
"Please rest assured, Father-in-law, if Yan Chu ever betrays Xiao Jin, I will take my own life without your intervention," Xiao Yan Chu said.
Madam Su was alarmed upon hearing this, "Pah, pah, pah! How can you say such things on such a joyous occasion? Yan Chu, get up quickly."
When Xiao Yanchu heard Madam Su call him Yanchu instead of Prince, he knew that the Su family had already regarded him as one of their own, and he was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Mother-in-law."
