Chapter 94: Entering the Palace to Pay Respects
Su Zhenzhen yawned, tears welling up in her eyes, her misty peach blossom eyes looked delicate and charming. She was only wearing a rouge-red nightgown, and she watched Rong Jinchen leisurely help her change clothes.
Gu Heng was very clever in arranging the maids to set up breakfast. He would not trouble himself to see the princess and the prince being so petty. After setting the breakfast, he went down to arrange the distribution of rewards.
Su Zhenzhen watched the man helping her put on her coat with increasing skill and care, though his movements were clumsy, and her eyes moved slightly.
Bai Zhi and Lu Wu were amazed when he carried them to wash up again. His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan was indeed worthy of being their son-in-law!
That’s so smart!
Afraid of losing my job...
Rong Jinchen was getting married today and didn't want anyone to be an eyesore, so she asked them to leave. She lowered her neck and looked at Su Zhenzhen, pouting her lips, "Chenchen, Baizhi and Luwu are gone, who will serve me the dishes?" She didn't want to pick up the food herself today because it would easily get pulled.
Su Zhenzhen found that she couldn't call him husband casually. Although he was very excited to be called Chenchen, she couldn't bear it for the time being. She decided to wait until she had made some progress in her cultivation.
The man lowered his eyebrows and said softly, "My dear, your husband is here." As he spoke, he hugged her and tried to pick up the crab soup dumplings. "But then I'd feel like a salted fish." He didn't have to do anything.
Although Su Zhenzhen herself was a young lady who had everything handed to her, she had never been fed since she was three years old, but she was often served food.
Rong Jinchen looked at her lovingly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Didn't Qingqing say in the past that she was a little salted fish? Your husband will serve you." Su Zhenzhen looked at the crystal clear crab roe soup dumplings, she turned her face away, "You are clumsy, the crab roe soup dumplings will ooze juice if you eat them like this! Idiot! Humph." And she was still serving.
He was startled, then put the crab roe soup dumplings in the white porcelain bowl and reached out to pick up a small bun with fresh meat filling for her.
Su Zhenzhen: ...
Okay.
She took a bite and leaned against his strong chest. He even held it up with his hands to prevent her clothes from getting dirty, which was very considerate. Rong Jinchen saw her take a bite and lowered his head to stuff the rest of the dumplings into his mouth and ate it in big mouthfuls.
Su Zhenzhen looked at him angrily. He actually stole her food. What a bad guy! "My dear, try this Yutian Rouge Rice Porridge. It tastes fresh and sweet and is very delicious." This was two stones specially given to him by his father. Due to the scarcity of production, there were only six or seven stones in total.
In this dynasty, one dan is equal to 120 jin, one dan has ten dou, one dou weighs twelve jin, one dou of rice is eighty wen, one jin of rice is about six or seven wen, and one dan of rice is eight hundred wen.
Pork costs about 20 wen per pound, and ordinary people earn 30 wen a day by doing odd jobs, but it can be considered a prosperous time. Now that foreign threats have been eliminated, the border is stable.
Rong Yue also gave two stones to Crown Prince Rong Jinyou. After all, they were both his legitimate sons, so there was no need to be partial to them in such a small matter.
Su Zhenzhen looked at the table full of red breakfasts that either replenished blood or qi, and had good meanings. She didn't know what to say.
Golden Blood Bird's Nest, Yutian Rouge Rice Porridge, Crab Stuffed Orange, Rose Pastry, Date Paste Yam Cake, Red Bean Pastry, Goji Berry Deer Penis Flower, Golden Deer Blessing...
She couldn't help but touch her own waist. It was better not to let Rong Jinchen do it, as it was more important for her to do it.
Who said girls can’t have kidney deficiency?
She whispered: "Chenchen, I want to drink deer penis soup. You can drink the bird's nest, but you are not allowed to eat deer penis soup." Su Zhenzhen pouted and looked at him with wet eyes.
Rong Jinchen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "Well, I will listen to Qingqing." It seems that Qingqing is very satisfied with him, but he really needs to drink more bird's nest for beauty and nourishing. Qingqing loves his face and figure the most.
The next day, Su Zhenzhen, who had replenished her blood and was full of energy, was about to go to the palace to pay her respects. She was currently choosing clothes and jewelry.
Rong Jinchen stood aside with a gentle smile. Although he was unable to eat meat again yesterday, he was extremely happy as long as he was with Qingqing. "Qingqing, this scarlet embroidered and gold-woven waisted pleated skirt suits your skin tone very well." The man made the suggestion very seriously.
The maids standing in two rows below, holding a dazzling array of clothes, looked straight ahead with good facial expressions, but were screaming in their hearts, "Such a gentle and talkative man is actually His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan?"
Su Zhenzhen saw Baizhi and Luwu carefully unfolding the skirt, smiled, and turned around, "Chenchen, are you sure you don't want to wear couple outfits?" How could she not know the man's secret thoughts?
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the handsome man's face, and then he said frankly, "We are husband and wife now, what's wrong with that?" Newlyweds should wear red.
Fortunately, Rong Jinchen has restored his skin in the past six months, otherwise the crimson and wheat-colored skin would be too ugly to look at.
The girl's eyes were gentle, and she said lovingly, "I'll do as you say." She was a good girl who doted on her husband.
After the maid left, Baizhi and Luwu looked at the man in casual clothes with hesitation in their eyes.
They didn't want to help His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan change his clothes, but they were maids. Lu Wu said, "Your Highness, Bai Zhi and I will go and see why Eunuch Gu hasn't brought breakfast yet." Then she took Bai Zhi and went downstairs.
Rong Jinchen's eyes were full of praise, "Qingqing, I am worthy of being your maid, I have good taste." Can anyone touch his body?
Su Zhenzhen was amused and blew him a kiss through the air, "Of course, Chenchen is worthy of being my husband and upholds the virtues of a man." Rong Jinchen's brows were relaxed, his thin lips slightly raised, and he continued to change his clothes.
He then helped Su Zhenzhen put on her clothes, and the beauty threw herself into his arms. The two of them were very affectionate and close.
Su Zhenzhen put on light makeup today and drew her eyebrows lightly. She trusted Rong Jinchen, a novice who had only practiced for one day yesterday, to help her draw her eyebrows.
Fortunately, her eyebrows were neither thick nor thin. The man, who had experienced several failures, was good at painting, so he became more and more courageous and soon became proficient.
The furnishings in the main courtyard of Langhuan Courtyard were all selected and arranged by Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen. They combined the styles of their two bedrooms and were very low-key and luxurious, with a hint of toughness in their gentleness and elegance.
She looked at herself in the rosewood five-panel mirror with a phoenix pattern, and at the tall, upright man sitting on the rose chair behind her, and couldn't help but laugh. "Chenchen, you're so cute."
Rong Jinchen pursed his lips slightly. He was now very obsessed with dressing up Su Zhenzhen, as if he was playing a miracle game.
Bai Zhi and the others came in a quarter of an hour later, along with Gu Heng, who brought the maid who served the meal into the room.
The two of them had a simple meal to fill their stomachs as they would have dinner with their father later. Su Zhenzhen did not drink the tonic soup that day. She and Rong Jinchen each had a bowl of golden blood swallow's nest.
Gu Heng silently counted the golden blood swallows in the warehouse, and only felt relieved when he was sure that there were enough for His Highness and the Princess.
After finishing the bird's nest, the sky gradually turned pale, and the morning light shone through the clouds onto the earth. Seeing that it was getting late, Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen prepared to enter the palace.
Rong Jinchenchen held her little hand, tilted his forehead to her and said softly: "Don't be nervous, my dear. You have seen the emperor before, and you have also seen your second brother and his wife." "I'm not nervous." Su Zhenzhen wondered if their roles were reversed, and he looked like the new daughter-in-law.
