After the princess entered the palace, the war god prince broke his back
Chapter 68 The imperial edict has arrived!
The Chu Mansion is particularly lively today.
There were three guests at home. Xiangxiang was invited by Chu Nanyue, and she had promised her yesterday.
Su Xi came uninvited with her brother Su Mu. Of course, this was a promise made to her by Chu Nanyue in advance.
Chu Nanyue took Su Mu directly into the house and gave him acupuncture treatment.
Everyone in the yard was busy with their own work, leaving only Chu Ziyu, Su Xi and Xiangxiang as the idle people.
Xiangxiang felt that Su Xi was a princess and would definitely look down on her background, so she was planning to strike up a conversation with Chu Ziyu.
Unexpectedly, Chu Ziyu turned his wheelchair past her and went straight towards Su Xi.
"I heard from Ayue that it was the princess who helped us find this courtyard. If there was no acquaintance to introduce this courtyard, the pawnbroker would definitely sell it for double the price. My whole family would like to thank the princess!" Chu Ziyu nodded slightly and spoke slowly.
Su Xi also nodded slightly in response, smiling: "You are too polite, young master. If we are to thank you, it should be our Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion that thanks Miss Chu. She is my brother's lifesaver. The grace of saving a life is greater than heaven. No matter what we do for you, it is just icing on the cake."
Chu Ziyu looked at the sunny and easy-going Su Xi and smiled: "In that case, let's not be polite anymore!"
Chu Xi was also happy, she agreed: "Okay, we are all friends!"
She looked at Chu Ziyu, whose face was gentle in the moonlight. His eyes were like grapes, big and black, exactly the same as Chu Nanyue's, dazzling. It was a pity that God was not kind to her. Such a handsome man was unable to walk.
Just like his younger brother, he was born with a heart disease. Thinking of this, she looked at him with a hint of pity.
Chu Ziyu looked at her with a straight gaze, his face slightly red, he leaned over, and turned the wheelchair back to its original position.
Xiang Xiang rolled her eyes at Su Xi and poured a cup of tea for Chu Ziyu at the right time: "Young Master, have some tea!"
Chu Ziyu reached out to take it, but Xiangxiang's hand deliberately touched his slender fingers accidentally, which startled Chu Ziyu and he pulled his hand back suddenly, causing a lot of tea to splash onto the table.
At this time, Chu Ziyu's face turned even redder. He put the teacup on the stone table and said stiffly, "Please enjoy your tea, both of you!"
After saying this, he turned his wheelchair and left.
Xiang Xiang chuckled, and then said in a delicate voice: "Princess, sit down and have some tea!"
Su Xi nodded politely, then sat down and took a sip of tea.
Xiangxiang couldn't help feeling inexplicably unconvinced when she saw her elegant appearance. She picked up the teacup that Chu Ziyu had just touched and drank it in one gulp.
When Chu Nanyue came out, she saw Xiangxiang seemed to be struggling with a pot of tea, so she joked, "Sister Xiangxiang, if you want to get drunk, let's have a drinking contest!"
Xiang Xiang replied, "Okay!" Then she asked Su Xi, "Does the princess want to come with us?"
Su Xi said honestly: "I still need to take care of my brother, so I won't accompany you anymore!"
Xiang Xiang wanted to say something else, but Chu Nanyue didn't give her the chance: "Don't worry, Princess. The young prince is lively and cute. He is pestering my brother to play with him. He calls me brother affectionately. I can't pull him back even if I pull him back."
Su Xi followed Chu Nanyue's gaze and saw that her brother was holding Chu Zixun's arm with a very attentive look on his face, smiling at him, not wanting him to work. She was anxious and could only pull at his little hand silently, but he held it tightly with an innocent look on his face.
Her face turned slightly red and she felt embarrassed.
Her younger brother is eight years old this year, only two years younger than Chu Zixun. However, due to her and her mother's over-protection, his mental state seems to be two or three years younger than his age.
Chu Nanyue comforted him, "I think it's good for the young master to be like this. Children should be innocent and naive, unlike my brother who matures precociously."
After listening to the advice to eat a full meal, Su Xi was no longer embarrassed. She smiled and responded: "Miss Chu is indeed an open-minded person. I was too worried. In the future, I will learn to let go of my brother."
At this time, Chu Zixun dragged Su Mu over and said, "Sister, the cream is ready!"
Chu Nanyue stood up suddenly, looked at the foamy cream, curled her lips, then picked up a long bamboo stick and spread the delicious cream on the steamed cake base, and then inlaid several flowers and a few little rabbits on it.
Her eldest brother was born in the year of the dragon, and she originally wanted to make a majestic dragon, but the technology did not allow it, so she wrote the seven words "Happy birthday, eldest brother!" on it.
Of course, these seven words were squeezed out by Chu Zixun.
Firstly, he was busy with the little boy just now and couldn't help stir the cream. So he came up with a brilliant idea in the end, which can be regarded as a contribution to his eldest brother's birthday.
Secondly, Chu Nanyue is illiterate and can't write very well.
"Oh! Today is big brother's birthday? What should I do if I don't have a gift?" Qin Ke looked at the seven words before he reacted. He clapped his hands and shouted loudly.
His shout also alerted Su Xi and Xiang Xiang.
The two looked at each other for a moment, thinking that one should at least prepare gifts for someone's birthday.
Su Xi reacted the fastest. She ordered her servants to go back to Zhenyuan Marquis’ warehouse to get it.
Chu Nanyue stopped them and shouted, "You have already brought gifts for the housewarming, so you are not allowed to prepare birthday gifts. If anyone is polite again, you will not be allowed to enter our Chu Mansion again in the future!"
They didn't bring any birthday gifts, but someone brought an imperial edict.
A shrill voice came from the door: "The imperial edict has arrived!"
Chu Nanyue whispered to Su Xi: "Princess, looking for you?"
Su Xi was also confused, but the reality did not allow them to think too much, because a eunuch had come in.
Everyone knelt down to receive the order.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that I have heard that the Chu family has a daughter, Chu Nanyue, who is gentle, virtuous, and beautiful. I hereby grant her to the Fourth Prince, Prince Yan, as a concubine. I hereby express my gratitude!"
Chu Nanyue narrowed her eyes and cursed the culprit in her heart.
She didn't expect that the madman Xiao Hanye would actually come with an imperial decree.
Damn, just to take a concubine, the emperor had to issue an imperial decree. This is really the first time in the world!
Also, can't the emperor, as the supreme ruler, have some principles?
It was not until Su Xi reminded her that she was extremely reluctant to accept the order.
She is just an ordinary person, what else can she do if she doesn't accept it?
Originally, she had thought that she would never become Xiao Hanye's concubine, but who would have thought that he would be so cunning and directly issue an imperial decree to kill all her escape routes!
What a shameless, despicable and sinister villain who will not give up until he achieves his goal.
When the eunuch saw that Chu Nanyue had accepted the order, he ordered people to bring two heavy boxes.
"This is the betrothal gift from Prince Yan to the young lady, a full twenty thousand taels of silver. This is the first time I have seen such a grand ceremony for a concubine. The young lady will have good fortune in the future!"
Except for Chu Ziyu, Chu Nanyue and Su Xi, everyone in the yard was staring.
Twenty thousand taels of silver!
Chu Nanyue looked at the two boxes full of silver ingots, her eyes spitting fire.
It was still a banknote at the Grand Princess's Mansion that day. Now that he returned, was he afraid that she would run away with the money, so he changed it into heavy silver?
