Traveling through the ancient times

After Nian Chuhua returned home, all the doctors in Qunan City were invited to diagnose Nian Chuhua's pulse one after another.

Every day, Mrs. Luo watched the doctors enter the house with hope in her eyes, and then sent them out with dejected look on her face.

For several days, all the doctors in Qunan were consulted, but no one could find a way to treat Nian Chuhua.

Lu Mingqian posted a notice at the city gate, looking for famous doctors all over the world, offering a reward of 1,000 taels of gold to anyone who could cure Nian Chuhua's throat.

Before leaving, the doctors at the border said that the sooner Nian Chuhua's throat was treated, the better. So Lu Mingqian suggested to Nian Chuhua and Nian Dali and his wife that he take Nian Chuhua to Kyoto to ask the imperial physician to see her.

The imperial doctors in the palace were all top-notch medical professionals, and as long as there was a slight chance of curing their daughter, the Nian couple had no objection.

Before returning to Kyoto, Lu Mingqian did one more thing: he proposed to Nian Chuhua.

Lu Mingqian hired a matchmaker and brought betrothal gifts to the Nian Mansion to propose marriage.

Nian Dali and Luo looked at the betrothal gifts that filled the yard in disbelief. Nian Chuhua couldn't speak yet, but Lu Mingqian, as a prince, didn't despise their daughter and came to propose marriage at this time.

They were extremely satisfied with Lu Mingqian, a son-in-law who valued friendship and loyalty, but Nian Chuhua shook her head and refused without hesitation.

Lu Mingqian frowned, "Why? We love each other, my father likes you very much, and your parents also agree that we should be together."

Chu Nian Hua realized that the king liked the intact Chu Nian Hua, but now she couldn't speak, and the king would not allow the prince to marry a mute.

Nianchuhua picked up the pen on the table and wrote down her thoughts. "I don't want to get married now. I'll wait until my throat is healed!"

"Are you worried that your voice will be damaged and my father and mother will dislike you?"

"..." Nian Chuhua blinked her big eyes and looked at Lu Mingqian.

Who would be willing to let such an outstanding son marry a mute? What's more, he is a prince. Wouldn't that make him a laughing stock for the whole world?

The Nian couple also woke up from their joy and realized that Lu Mingqian was not an ordinary person, he was a prince.

Even if Chu Nian Hua's voice was not hoarse, her status was not worthy of Lu Mingqian, not to mention that Chu Nian Hua's voice was not healed yet.

They had heard before that the king had already met their daughter and was very satisfied with this future daughter-in-law, so they felt at ease letting their daughter come into contact with Lu Mingqian.

But now that such an incident has happened at the beginning of the year, the king may not agree to their marriage.

If Nian Chuhua married Lu Mingqian at this time, regardless of whether the king would agree, the dignitaries in Kyoto would also laugh at Lu Mingqian. After Nian Chuhua got married, she would also have to endure all kinds of gossip.

They just want their daughter to find a husband of her dreams and live a happy life together.

Although he was extremely satisfied with Lu Mingqian, he had to think carefully.

When Nian's parents saw that Nian Chuhua disagreed, they also followed suit to persuade Lu Mingqian. They were very grateful that Lu Mingqian saved Nian Chuhua and did not despise their daughter for being unable to speak.

If it was an ordinary person, it would be fine, but Lu Mingqian is not an ordinary person. "Your Highness, given Chu Hua's current situation, it is indeed inappropriate for her to get married."

"Uncle and aunt, Chu Hua is only temporarily unable to speak. Her throat can be cured. Even if she cannot speak for the rest of her life, I will still marry Chu Hua."

"Your Highness, we know that you are truly in love with Chu Hua, but you are of noble status, and the king and all the civil and military officials in the court will not agree."

"I don't need their consent to marry anyone." Even the king couldn't control him, let alone the civil and military officials.

Luo understood Lu Mingqian's determination to marry Chu Nianhua. She was happy that Chu Nianhua had met such a man who was sincere to her, but they also had to face reality.

"If Chu Hua marries you, she will inevitably have to interact with nobles in the palace and Kyoto. Chu Hua cannot speak, and will definitely be laughed at and excluded."

"Your Highness may think that I am selfish or heartless, but I don't want my daughter to be criticized and have a hard life."

"I hope she can live a peaceful and happy life with her ideal husband."

"Let's see who dares. I, Lu Mingqian's wife, will only be respected by others." If he knew that anyone dared to criticize or exclude Nian Chuhua, he would make those people pay the price.

"Your Highness, maybe no one would dare to do that in front of you, but you can't be with Chu Hua all the time, and you can't shut everyone up and stop them from talking, right?"

At other times, Luo might not have dared to say these words to Lu Mingqian, but for her daughter's lifelong happiness, there was nothing she dared not say.

Lu Mingqian also calmed down and thought about this problem. The ladies in Kyoto City, when they have nothing to do after eating, like to gossip and gossip about others.

Moreover, they were proud of their noble status, came from farmers' families, and could not speak, so they were easily bullied by those gossipy women.

"I'm sorry, Auntie. I didn't think it through."

Nianchuhua and Luo Shi felt relieved to see that Lu Mingqian had listened to them. They were just afraid that Lu Mingqian would get stubborn and insist on getting engaged today.

Lu Mingqian came and went in a hurry...

The servants in the Nian Mansion all felt sorry for their master. They could see how good Lu Mingqian was to Nian Chuhua. They knew that Lu Mingqian was indeed a good candidate for a husband.

Unfortunately, their master's throat is damaged now, and they just hope that he can recover soon.

Lu Mingqian brought the betrothal gifts back to the Third Prince's Mansion. The housekeeper was relieved to see the betrothal gifts being carried back intact.

When Lu Mingqian asked him to find a matchmaker, he persuaded Lu Mingqian for a long time, but Lu Mingqian didn't listen.

The master insisted, so as a servant he had no choice but to do as he was told.

The betrothal gifts had been prepared long ago and were locked in the warehouse, waiting for the right time to propose, but now was obviously not the right time.

The housekeeper heard that Chushunihua's voice was damaged, but it was not because of the damage to Chushunihua's voice that he disliked Chushunihua anymore.

On the contrary, he liked Nian Chuhua very much and wished that Lu Mingqian and Nian Chuhua could get married as soon as possible.

But now is not the best time for them to get married. If Chu Shuhua's voice is still not so good, she is indeed not suitable to be the mistress of the Third Prince's Mansion.

Your Highness is a prince. If Chushouhua becomes the prince's consort and she cannot speak, how can she manage this huge prince's mansion? How can she receive the ladies of the court?

Your Highness has several duties and occasionally has to receive foreign envoys. If there are female relatives in the delegation, Nianchuhua, as the prince's consort, must also receive the female relatives.

If she couldn't speak, how would she do these things?

Moreover, the king would not allow His Highness to marry a mute. No matter how much the king liked Chu Nianhua before, if she became a mute, she would no longer be the Third Prince's wife.

Fortunately, Chushulhua has a clear mind, unlike his prince who doesn't care about anything when he gets excited.

Thinking of this, the butler sighed with regret...

I asked you to propose marriage 800 years ago, but you refused. Now that you have gone, you have been rejected...

Ugh…

What a twist of fate!
