The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Xu Ke asked, tilting his head.

Chu Musheng was stunned by her question, then touched her head. If there wasn't someone next to her, he really wanted to kiss her.

"Whether you are my princess or concubine, you are the only one."

The people who were eating dog food on the side...

Otherwise, you two should just let us go!

"But meeting Xu Shaoqing today was purely a coincidence."

Chu Musheng then looked at the second master and second mistress.

"Master Xu, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory has already chosen the wedding date for me and Keke, which will be on the tenth day of the fifth month next month.

This wedding will be fully organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so you don't need to worry about it. I came here today to inform you of this matter."

So soon? This was what everyone thought, and Dingdang was already counting the days.

Xu Ke wanted to ask if it could be postponed until the end of the year. She was very happy living in the Xu family and didn't want to move into Prince Sheng's Mansion so soon.

But she moved her lips but didn't say anything.

The Second Master and the Second Mistress hesitated for a moment, then both showed joy on their faces.

The second master hurriedly said respectfully:

"Thank you for your advice, Your Highness. May I ask what preparations I should make?"

Chu Musheng waved his hand slightly.

"Master Xu, there is no need to prepare anything. Everything will be handled by the Imperial Household Department. You only need to entertain the guests and arrange for the young master to escort Miss Xu out of her boudoir."

The second lady spoke with a smile at this time.

"Your Highness, we have spoiled Keke. If she behaves inappropriately in the future, I hope Your Highness will bear with her."

Chu Musheng responded with a smile.

"Don't worry, Madam Xu. In my heart, everything is fine with Miss Xu."

Xu Keke listened to their conversation, and felt a sweet feeling in her heart, mixed with a little nervousness.

At this time, Chu Musheng looked at Xu Keke and said softly:

"Miss Xu, take a good rest these days. If there is nothing important, try not to go out as much as possible and don't tire yourself out."

Xu Ke nodded gently, smiling like a flower.

"I know."

As she spoke, she quietly stuffed the handkerchief she had embroidered herself into Chu Musheng's hand.

"It's for you!"

Chu Musheng took it calmly, put it away, gave Xu Ke a few more instructions, and then stood up to leave.

The second wife quickly stood up and tried to keep him.

"It's getting late, Your Highness, why don't you stay and have a simple meal before leaving?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Madam Xu. I will definitely come to bother you in the future. But today, I will let it go. It's time for me to go back to the palace."

As he said this, he strode out.

Everyone escorted Chu Musheng out of the mansion. After the Regent and his guards left, the Second Lady took Xu Ke's hand.

"My dear daughter! I didn't expect you to get married so soon. I wanted to keep you at home for a few more years!"

Xu Ke helped the second lady smooth the hair around her ears and said with a smile.

"How about I talk to the prince and ask him to change the date to next year?"

The Second Lady slapped Xu Ke's hand in an angry manner.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The wedding date was chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. How can it be changed at will? Maybe the Imperial Household Department has already started making preparations."

Xu Ke hugged the second wife's arm and acted coquettishly.

"Mother, I understand. Even after I get married, I will come back to see you and father often."

The second master coughed lightly and was about to say a few words.

Then, Aunt Ding, who had gone to the kitchen to arrange the table, came back.

"Why did the prince leave? I just asked the chef in the mansion to add several dishes!"

The Second Madam smiled and took Madam Ding's hand.

"It's okay. Today is a good day and we deserve to celebrate."

Before Aunt Ding could figure out what to celebrate, Dingdang immediately whispered the date of the young lady's wedding.

Nanny Ding nodded happily.

"This is a great event. Congratulations, sir, congratulations, madam, and congratulations, young lady."

The second master waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Happy together."

Nanny Ding looked at Xu Keke, her eyes full of love.

"The young lady is naturally beautiful and kind-hearted. She will surely live happily with the prince until old age."

Kind-hearted? Why don't you think so?

Xu Ke's face turned red because of Aunt Ding's praise, and she smiled with her lips pouted.

"Mammy always teases me."

Everyone laughed and the room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

At this time, the second lady pulled Madam Ding aside and whispered to her.

"Mammy, please accompany me these few days to count the dowry I have been saving for Coco.

Although the prince told us not to worry about anything, how could we, as parents, do nothing?

Besides, Coco is marrying the Regent. In my opinion, we should not only give all our family's money to Coco.

Those shops must also be handed over to Coco.

Our master has been promoted now, and his monthly salary has increased a lot. Together with the several farms outside the city, it is enough to cover our family expenses.

And I also want to ask for some from Coco’s uncle to use as a dowry for Coco…”

Nanny Ding listened to the lady's long speech and kept smiling and nodding. She had the same idea as the lady.

"Madam, rest assured, this old servant will do his best. And when the young lady gets married, which maids will you arrange for her?

I don’t care about the other maids, but Dingdang must stay with the Second Young Lady.”

"Needless to say, I trust Dingdang. They grew up together. After Keke recovered, the two girls were inseparable!

As for the other maids, let Keke choose them herself; they will be the ones serving her in the future."

As the second lady was speaking, she remembered that the master of the main house had come today to ask Xu Yuanyuan for his dowry.

This kind of person who comes to ask for money seems quite annoying, so the second wife quickly gave up the idea of going to her brother's side to ask for a dowry for Coco.

If you keep demanding family affection, it will be exhausted.

What's more, my eldest daughter has married into the Xie family, and the property will belong to her children in the future. I should not be too concerned about one thing and lose sight of the other.

"Come to think of it, I haven't visited Duoduo for a long time. This is her first child, and she's nearly eight months pregnant.

And my eldest brother's niece Su'er is getting married soon, why are there so many things going on? "

Aunt Ding said with a smile.

"Yes, all the good things have happened at once."

The Second Madam suddenly looked at Nanny Ding.

"Mammy, have you found out when the wedding date for the eldest wife's wife is?"

Nanny Ding slapped her forehead.

"What a coincidence! The wedding date for the wish is also on the tenth day of May. It seems that day is really a good day."

The Second Lady doesn't care whether it is a good day for other people's families or not, she just knows which day is the wedding day for her own daughter.

Next, the second wife and Nanny Ding started to get busy.

He went to the government office and transferred the Ruyi Teahouse, Zhenbao Pavilion, Yunjin Lishang, and Xieji Grocery Store to his second daughter.

The second wife took Madam Ding to various money houses to withdraw their deposits, and also gathered the working capital of other shops to add to Xu Ke's dowry.

Everyone in the mansion was busy preparing for the second young lady's marriage, but Xu Ke, the person involved, was doing nothing.

Dingdang was her head maid, responsible only for serving the young lady personally.

Therefore, they are the only two idle people in the mansion.
