Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Zhang Qiang collapsed to the ground, full of regret:

"It's all my fault that I shouldn't have agreed to cancel the engagement. It's all my fault that I was bewildered and missed this great marriage opportunity."

No one paid any attention to Zhang Qiang and his mother anymore.

"Come here, take them away and send them to the government office." the Prime Minister ordered.

After the banquet, King Jing found Lord Sheng and said apologetically:

"Master Sheng, today at the banquet, I hastily announced my proposal without consulting you in advance. I hope you won't blame me."

Lord Sheng hurriedly bowed and said:

"Your Highness, you are too polite. I have already told you that I agree to the marriage, and it doesn't matter when it is announced.

Besides, Your Majesty just said this to help my daughter out of trouble, and I am very grateful.

It is a blessing for the Sheng family that my daughter is favored by the Jingwang Mansion, so how could we blame her?"

King Jing smiled and nodded:

"That's great. Then it's settled. When I return home, I will personally bring the matchmaker to propose marriage."

"In that case, I will wait for good news at home."

King Jing looked at his fourth brother standing aside and said to Sheng Lin:

"Master Sheng, the sudden announcement of good news today must have come as a surprise to Miss Sheng and my fourth brother. Why don't we let my fourth brother take Miss Sheng back home so they can talk first?"

Sheng Lin knew that King Jing was creating an opportunity for the two of them to get to know each other better, so he gladly accepted it, "Thank you very much."

After the two families said goodbye, Qinghe and the others returned to the palace, and Old Fourth Chu sent Miss Sheng back to the Sheng Mansion.

In the carriage, Old Fourth Chu would steal a glance at Miss Sheng from time to time, with an irrepressible smile on his lips.

Miss Sheng noticed his gaze, her face flushed, and she said softly, "Fourth Master, why are you looking at me like that?"

Chu Lao Si smiled and said, "Seeing how frightened you were today, I feel really bad for you."

Miss Sheng lowered her head slightly and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "With the Fourth Master's concern, Xuan'er is not afraid."

Chu Lao Si said seriously: "I will never let you suffer any grievances again when I am here."

Miss Sheng nodded gently, her eyes full of trust.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of Sheng Mansion.

Before getting off the car, Chu Laosi said to Sheng Yixuan, "I will prepare the betrothal gifts when I get back. Wait for me to propose marriage at home."

Sheng Yixuan nodded shyly, her face flushed. Fortunately, it was night and no one noticed.

Old Fourth Chu got out of the car first, then carefully helped Miss Sheng down.

Sheng Lin and Mrs. Sheng were already waiting at the door.

Sheng Lin said, "Thank you, Fourth Master, for sending my daughter back."

Chu Lao Si bowed and said, "Master Sheng, you are too polite. This is what I should do."

Madam Sheng smiled and said, "Today's incident is all thanks to Prince Jing's Mansion."

Chu Lao Si said, "Master Sheng, Madam Sheng, there is no need to be so polite. Miss Sheng was frightened today and may have a high fever at night. Please take good care of her. I will go back first."

After saying this, he looked at Miss Sheng affectionately before turning and leaving.

Miss Sheng looked at his back until he disappeared from her sight, then she followed her parents into the house.

After returning from the banquet at the Prime Minister's house, everyone gathered together waiting for Fourth Uncle to come back.

When Chu Laosi came back, he saw his family staring at him with burning eyes, and his face suddenly turned red.

He coughed lightly and said calmly, "Why aren't my second brother and second sister-in-law asleep yet?"

Qing He smiled at his fourth uncle, "Of course I'm waiting for you to come back! How is it? You saved the beauty again today, I'm sure Lord Sheng and Madam Sheng will think more of you, right?"

Chu Laosi's face turned even redder. He scratched his head and said:

"Master Sheng has agreed to my marriage with Miss Sheng and asked me to prepare to bring a matchmaker to propose marriage."

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised.

Shangguan Jing patted Chu Lao Si's shoulder and laughed, "Fourth brother, this is a great thing!"

Qin also said with a smile on her face: "Then we have to hurry up and prepare. We can't lose our manners when the fourth son gets married."

Qing He said excitedly: "Uncle, congratulations! I knew that you and Miss Sheng were a perfect match."

Chu Lao Si smiled sheepishly and said, "Fourth Uncle, I'll lend you my good words."

Shangguan Jing said, "Fourth brother, we must prepare for this marriage proposal carefully and let the Sheng family see our sincerity."

Everyone nodded and began to discuss the details and preparations of the proposal enthusiastically. The whole room was filled with an atmosphere of joy and anticipation.

Shangguan Jing first said: "The gifts for this marriage proposal cannot be sloppy. I want to prepare some precious jewelry and fine silk brocade to show our importance to this marriage."

Qin nodded and said:

"Brother Jing, don't worry. I have prepared two sets of gold hairpins, gold bracelets, jade pendants, earrings, and head ornaments for you and your sister-in-law, symbolizing good things come in pairs.

In addition, we will also provide 100 pieces of silk and brocade. What do you think?"

Shangguan Jing thought about it and agreed: "Madam is right."

Qin continued:

"We still need to prepare some exquisite cakes and special sauces. Why don't we let the Sheng family taste our cooking skills and bring some braised chickens and fish? Wine, sugar, and tea are also essential.

We also need to prepare antiques, calligraphy and paintings, screens, tables and chairs.”

Qing He smiled and said, "Mom, did you forget something?"

Qin asked her puzzledly: "What?"

"Wild geese. Wild geese symbolize fidelity in marriage." Qing He said, "My fourth uncle must go and catch a pair of wild geese himself to show his sincerity!"

Chu Lao Si touched his head, smiled innocently and said:

"Qing He is right. I will go look for wild geese tomorrow. I will definitely find two intact wild geese as a betrothal gift."

"Then I will go look for it with Fourth Uncle tomorrow." Baili Ye said from the side.

After hearing this, Chu Lao Si immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Aye, thank you. With you, I feel more at ease."

"Don't worry, Fourth Uncle. I have experience in catching wild geese and I won't let you down." Baili Ye said proudly.

Qing He said excitedly: "Then I will go and pick out some calligraphy and paintings by famous artists to add some elegance to Miss Sheng."

Shangguan Jing added: "I have to go find a good horse as a gift for my fourth brother."

Qin nodded in agreement: "I have to decorate my fourth brother's new room well, and choose the best materials for the bedding."

Qinghe added: "Then the house needs decoration. I will buy some flowers and plants to make the house more festive."

Shangguan Jing thought for a moment:

"I will find some skilled craftsmen to make a set of exquisite furniture.

In addition, I will buy a property for the fourth brother. No matter whether you live with the second brother in the future, this is an inheritance. "

"Then Qinghe and I will give Fourth Uncle a farm and four shops to celebrate for him." Baili Ye also said.

Everyone was talking at once, and the discussion was in full swing. Chu Lao Si was moved when he saw his family members who were so concerned about his marriage.
