The mistress is mighty, bringing 88 dowries to flatten the Marquis's mansion

Chapter 43 No problem

Qi Mingyu opened his mouth and wanted to say that there was a problem, but was silenced again.

She has money and a handsome and caring husband.

How come Ruan Shuyan is so lucky?

Xie Yuchun had no idea what Qi Mingyu was thinking. Seeing her expression change but she remained silent, he asked the woman next to him to pack up the hairpin, paid the money and left.

When he returned to Xie's house, he placed the box in front of Ruan Shuyan and said with a faint smile, "Madam, take a look at this."

Ruan Shuyan recognized it as a box from the Dian Cui Pavilion at a glance, but she did not say it out loud. Instead, she asked in confusion, "What did my husband buy me again?"

"Madam, you will know once you open it."

Ruan Shuyan curved her eyebrows and said, "Then I must take a good look at what my husband brought back."

When she opened the box, the butterfly hairpin inside made Ruan Shuyan raise her eyebrows slightly.

The next moment, Xie Yuchun picked up the hairpin and said, "I'll put it on for Madam."

Ruan Shuyan let him put the hairpin on her. She turned her head slightly, and the butterfly seemed to come alive, vivid and lifelike.

Xie Yuchun looked at it with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Sure enough, I was right, this hairpin looks very good on Madam."

"Thank you, husband."

Ruan Shuyan touched the hairpin frivolously and asked curiously, "Why did my husband suddenly think of buying a hairpin?"

Xie Yuchun said truthfully: "I saw other people buying gifts for their loved ones, so I went to the Diancui Pavilion."

Sweetheart.

Ruan Shuyan's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't know what to say after hearing these three words.

Silence spread, and a hint of loss flashed across Xie Yuchun's eyes. He had specifically said the word "sweetheart".

Well, their situations are different.

Just wait a little longer, it will be fine after a while.

Thinking about this, Xie Yuchun broke the silence and talked about the welcoming banquet tomorrow.

"Madam, it should be okay for me to go with you, right?"

Ruan Shuyan clasped her hands together, hesitated, and said truthfully: "I don't know any of the ladies. Can my husband send me someone he knows?"

Mother Lai is indeed powerful, but there is still some gap between her and the noble ladies in Beijing.

Xie Yuchun smiled slightly: "Madam, please go with me then. It doesn't matter if we don't know each other. I will handle any problems."

Having said that, Xie Yuchun still sent a maid over that night.

"Your servant Huang Qing greets the Madam."

"No need to be so polite. I'll have to trouble Mama Huang to host the welcoming banquet tomorrow."

At dawn the next day, the imperial guards blocked the area around Qingfeng Tower.

As time passed, more and more people gathered near Qingfeng Tower, all looking from afar, trying to find the emperor and empress coming out of the palace.

"Hey, it's already this late, why hasn't anyone come yet?"

"They said we were going to host a banquet for the envoys. It's not even noon yet. What are they doing here?"

"Noon? Didn't they say the welcoming banquet would be in the evening?"

While the people were talking about it, Ruan Shuyan and Xie Yuchun got on the carriage.

"This banquet will last a long time. If you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me directly and I can come back early."

Xie Yuchun was afraid that Ruan Shuyan might feel uncomfortable, so he gave her a special reminder.

Ruan Shuyan smiled and nodded: "I know."

At noon, the emperor and empress's carriage appeared outside Qingfeng Tower.

"Your Highness! Your Majesty the Queen!"

Amidst numerous salutes, the emperor and empress stepped down from the imperial carriage.

"No gift."

The emperor's majestic voice spread, and everyone stood up. They saw several more princes behind the emperor and empress, but the one closest to them was the Thirteenth Princess Nalan Jinxiu.

The group entered the third floor of Qingfeng Tower. After the emperor and empress took their seats, the ministers followed suit.

In the corner, Xie Yuchun and Ruan Shuyan looked at each other and both chose to keep a low profile.

"Xuan, the envoy of Qi State——"

Su Sheng's voice spread, and in just a moment, a young man in a black robe stepped into Qingfeng Tower. He was followed by a group of people, all of whom looked arrogant and ostentatious.

Ruan Shuyan frowned. This envoy from Qi didn't look friendly at all.

At this time, Xie Yuchun's voice came from the side: "The leader is the third prince of Qi, the one on the left behind is the fourth prince, and the one on the right is the seventh princess."

Ruan Shuyan was stunned. She remembered that only one prince came in her previous life, so why did two princes and a princess come in this life?

Could it be that she remembered it wrongly?

Her brows were furrowed, and her fingertips were also tightened.

"Qi Guo Yunmo, I meet the emperor."

A clear voice broke the silence. Ruan Shuyan came back to her senses and quickly suppressed the thoughts in her mind.

Whether I remembered correctly or not, there are now two princes and a princess, and I can't be distracted and think too much.

On the other side, Yun Mo had already sat down with his younger brother and sister-in-law.

The palace servants walked around serving dishes, the sound of stringed instruments rose, and the atmosphere around them became more harmonious.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The emperor told Yun Mo the purpose of his trip.

Yun Mo said that Qi wanted to form an alliance through marriage.

"The two countries have always been on good terms, and now the marriage can be considered a closer relationship. What do you think?"

The emperor thought about it and said that the matter should be discussed later.

"The marriage is a very serious matter, there is no rush."

Yun Mo smiled slightly: "I understand."

After that, the two did not mention the marriage again, but just chatted casually. Occasionally, a minister would speak up, and the atmosphere seemed lively.

In the corner, Ruan Shuyan was sitting there feeling bored. She whispered, "Husband, I'm going out for some fresh air."

Xie Yuchun nodded: "Don't go far."

Ruan Shuyan agreed and took Huang Qing and Chuntao to the second floor.

Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, someone called him from behind.

She turned around and saw that it was Tang Ruyun. She couldn't help but curl her lips and said, "Miss Tang."

"Mrs. Ruan...Mrs. Xie, how are you doing lately?"

Tang Ruyun took a few steps towards her and changed the way he addressed her.

"Very good, where's Miss Tang?"

Ruan Shuyan answered and lowered her eyes, as if there was something interesting on the ground.

Tang Ruyun smiled and said, "I'm fine too, but some time ago, Madam Xie asked someone to send a lot of things to your house. Is this not appropriate?"

The smile on her face disappeared, replaced by a frown and a conflicted look.

Ruan Shuyan curved her eyebrows and said, "Ms. Tang, do you think my life is not worth those things?"

Tang Ruyun was silent. She didn't dare to respond.

Seeing that she remained silent, Ruan Shuyan's smile deepened.

"Miss Tang, don't think too much. Whoever the Ruan family gives the things to is theirs. There won't be any problem."

Tang Ruyun sighed: "Madam knows that this is not what I meant."

Ruan Shuyan smiled but said nothing.

After a long time, Tang Ruyun didn't know what to say and could only change the subject.

The two were chatting when suddenly a figure appeared behind them.

"Do you know where the Thirteenth Princess is?"

Ruan Shuyan and Tang Ruyun turned around at the same time.

Seeing who it was, Tang Ruyun frowned and asked, "The Seventh Princess of Qi? Why are you here instead of staying on the third floor?"
