Traveling through the ancient times

Since it was the first time that Chu Shuhua met her future father-in-law, she dressed up specially and attracted Lu Mingqian's astonished gaze when she went out.

"I've never seen you dress up like this before!" The jealous king even drinks a sip of vinegar from his own old father.

"Isn't this the first time we meet? We have to leave a good impression." Nian Chuhua thinks that the first impression is very important.

"Don't worry, he has a very good impression of you. Even if you go there wearing beggar's clothes, he will still like you." Lu Mingqian said complimentingly.

"Tsk... don't hurt me." Nian Chuhua looked at Lu Mingqian with a look that said "You, a troublemaker, want to harm me."

"Really? You'll know once you meet him. Let's go!"

The two of them got on the carriage and headed for the Third Prince's residence. Nian Chuhua suddenly remembered something important, "Oh no! I forgot to bring a gift for the king!"

Lu Mingqian thought something was wrong with her and said in surprise, "Nothing, you are the junior, he should prepare a gift for you, you don't need to prepare anything."

"But…"

"No buts, just listen to me, you are the best gift for us!"

The carriage was about to arrive at the gate of the Third Prince's mansion. It was not realistic to turn back and buy one now. I could only make up for it next time.

The butler had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Nian Chuhua get off the carriage, he hurried over to greet her, "Welcome, Miss Nian. Miss Nian is so beautiful today, just like a fairy from heaven."

When Chushuhua was praised by the housekeeper, her face turned red. "Thank you for the compliment, housekeeper!"

"No, no, I am telling the truth. I am definitely not flattering you. If you don't believe me, ask Your Highness!" The butler winked at Lu Mingqian, "Why don't you praise your wife? Such a beautiful wife should be by your side every day!"

"Well...it's really beautiful!" Lu Mingqian praised sincerely. Chushouhua's outfit today was indeed as beautiful as a fairy, and he was almost dazzled by it.

I feel so happy when I start painting at the beginning of the year. Who doesn’t like to be praised for being pretty?

Several people soon came to the main hall. Nian Chuhua saw a person sitting in the main seat from a distance. As they walked closer and closer, they looked at the person inside. Why did he look so familiar?

I seem to have seen it somewhere before! Where?

The king was stunned for a moment when he saw the New Year's painting. Even though he had seen many beauties, he still felt that the New Year's painting at this moment was so beautiful that it was out of this world.

Looking at the son next to Nian Chuhua, they are really a perfect match!

This brat has good taste, picking such a beautiful wife!

Lu Mingqian helped Nian Chuhua into the main hall, and the king stood up and greeted them with a smile.

At the beginning of the year, Hua suddenly remembered that this person was the customer who got angry after eating the pig's brain that day.

It was over. She died before she could accomplish her mission. It turned out that she had already offended her future father-in-law inadvertently...

But isn't that what he wanted to eat? He can't get used to it and he blames others. After all, he is the king. Does he need a reason to be angry with you?

He doesn't need a reason to want your head!

Lu Mingqian sensed Nian Chuhua's momentary stiffness and thought she was too nervous, so he gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

Nian Chuhua gave Lu Mingqian a smile that was uglier than crying.

The room was so small that the two of them arrived in front of the king in a few steps. Lu Mingqian introduced them, "Father, this is Miss Chuanchu Huanian."

"Chu Hua, this is my father." Lu Mingqian did not tell Chu Hua that "this is the king". He wanted to introduce his beloved woman to his family like a child from an ordinary family, without any identity and without the so-called pressure that Chu Hua had.

Nian Chuhua quickly followed suit and was about to kneel down to salvage her shattered image, but was stopped by the king in time, "No need to be polite, today we are a family gathering, Miss Nian, just treat me as Mingqian's father, an ordinary elder."

Huh? This... Didn't the king recognize me?

Could it be that my makeup today made him fail to recognize me? Chushuhua muttered to herself, it would be best if he never recognized me, sob…

"Yes, thank you, my Lord!" At the beginning of the year, Fu Lefu lowered his brows and looked submissive, trying his best to pretend to be well-behaved.

When the king heard that Chu Hua was being addressed in such a strange way, he pretended to be displeased and said, "We already said that this is a family gathering. Miss Nian, you can call me Uncle Lu, and I will call you Chu Hua, okay?"

"Yes, Uncle Lu!"

The king was extremely satisfied with the New Year's Eve painting. The girl was well-behaved, sensible, smart, capable, pretty and generous. It was such a good fortune for this little boy of his!

"Chu Hua, come and sit down, have a cup of tea and take a rest."

King Zhang Luo asked Nianchuhua to sit down, completely ignoring his silly son. Seeing that his wife had been standing for so long, he didn't even bother to get a stool for her to sit on. Humph, it was still up to him, the old father, to take action.

"Thank you, Uncle Lu!"

The maid brought tea to Nianchuhua. Nianchuhua took a sip and sat there. She answered whatever the king asked her. Lu Mingqian would say a few words from time to time, and the scene was quite harmonious.

Soon the butler came over and invited them to the flower hall for dinner. The king stood up first and said, "Let's go, Chu Hua. The butler has prepared a lot of dishes that you will like!"

Nian Chuhua followed the king to the flower hall. The king asked her to sit down, but she didn't dare to. After the king sat down, she found a seat and sat down. Lu Mingqian sat on the other side of her. It seemed that Nian Chuhua was in the middle, and the two of them sat on both sides.

During the meal, no one talked much. It was just that Chuchuhua didn't take much food, but there was always something in her bowl. Lu Mingqian and the king each took a few chopsticks of food for her, and she had just taken a few bites when another one came!

Seeing that the king was about to serve her some more food, Nian Chuhua quickly declined, "Uncle Lu, you should eat more. You two have served me so much food, I am already full."

Chushuhua was indeed a little full, but these two seemed to be unwilling to stop until all the food on the table was gone. They took a few scoops of food, one after another, and all went into her bowl.

Lu Mingqian looked at her wrinkled face and comforted her, "It's okay, if you can't eat it, just leave it there. We gave you too much without noticing."

"Right, right, I almost forgot that you girls all eat less. It's because Uncle Lu didn't pay attention and thought you were Mingqian. He ate more, so he gave you more. Eat as much as you can. If you can't finish it, just leave it alone. Don't be stubborn!"

Lu Mingqian was grumbling in his heart, I don’t eat much!

"Yes, Uncle Lu, please enjoy your meal!" Nian Chuhua immediately put down her chopsticks. She really couldn't eat another bite. She seriously suspected that her skirt was about to be torn apart.

When the father and son saw Nianchuhua put down his chopsticks, they put them down too.

???

When Chushuhua looked at them, he thought, "Are you two playing me here? If I don't eat, you won't eat either?"

Lu Mingqian saw Nianchuhua's embarrassment, so he looked at Nianchuhua and said, "Now that everyone has finished eating, why don't we go for a walk in the garden to help digest the food?"

"Okay!" Nian Chuhua was eager to leave this place.

"You two young people go for a walk. Uncle Lu is old and needs to go back to lie down and rest." The king said as he walked to the other side, leaving space for the two young people.

Not long after they walked into the garden, they heard a rustling sound coming from behind. Chu Nianhua wanted to see what it was, but Lu Mingqian turned her around and said, "Don't look back, the king is behind you..."

"Ah?" Didn't the king want to take a walk? Why was he at the back?

Nian Chuhua stood stiffly as Lu Mingqian led him away. When he heard the voice behind him, his scalp tingled.

The king and his butler were following behind secretly, wanting to see if the two young people would spark any sparks of love...

"Your Majesty, look, His Highness and Miss Nian look so good together!"

"Well, this daughter-in-law is a good choice. I am very satisfied!"

"I just don't know when Your Highness plans to marry Miss Nian!"

"Maybe soon. I think they have a good relationship."

"That's great, our prince's mansion will have a little prince!"

"I wonder if their first child will be a boy or a girl..."

"Boys and girls are fine!"

"Well, they are all my good grandchildren..."

The two of them talked more and more outrageous and excited, causing their voices to become louder and louder.

Shouchuhua was listening in the front and was so embarrassed that she was picking her feet. [Can you please keep your voice down? Are you guys eavesdropping? This makes me very embarrassed! ]

"Ahem~" Lu Mingqian pretended to cough, trying to remind the two overly excited people behind him.

"Oh, have we been discovered?" The king bent down carefully and hid in the flowers.

Isn't that what you two mean? You two were so engrossed in the conversation, it's hard not to notice!

After walking around, Nian Chuhua asked to leave. Seeing that it was getting late, the king did not want to keep her. He gave her a heavy wooden box as a gift and asked her to visit often in the future, then let the two leave.
