The peerless and dark princess

Before Chu Wange could choose husbands for Yihua and the other maids, Chu Lixiu and Gong Qingyu's wedding took place. According to custom, Chu Lixiu, as the elder brother, should have married first. However, Chu Wange and Zuo Ci were married because it was a granted marriage, so they were able to marry before Chu Lixiu and the others.

"Aunt, you can finally rest assured that my eldest brother is getting married." Chu Wange returned to Prince Yan's Mansion early from Prince Heng's Mansion to help. After all, she had to ask for advice on how to handle these things. She had to arrange the marriages of her maids.

"How can that be? There's also Mo Xuan." Yu Yan'er pointed to her heartless daughter Chu Mo Xuan beside her. It was obvious that Wange was a month younger than Mo Xuan, but the younger one was married. It was very depressing to look at that daughter.

"Did you see what Dr. Su was thinking?"

"What's the use of me seeing it? Do you want me to point it out?"

"Aunt, that's not the case. Sister Mo Xuan hasn't figured it out yet. Anyway, my second brother and Dong Mingxue haven't gotten married yet, so there's no need to rush."

Chu Wange saw that her aunt Yu Yan'er was a little anxious about Chu Moxuan's marriage, and she herself understood Dr. Su's feelings for Chu Moxuan, but it was indeed not easy for the elders to point out such things directly.

"That's true. There's also the marriage between Li Xiao and Miss Dong. Speaking of this, Li Xiu actually suggested that Li Xiao and Miss Dong's wedding date be advanced, to be married on the same day as him and Qingyu. How can it be arranged like this? She's a princess... Besides, even if Qingyu has no objection, it would be unfair to Miss Dong. Women all look forward to a grand wedding of their own in their lives." Yu Yan'er frowned slightly.

"My aunt is right. This is indeed inappropriate. Miss Dong is also a lady from a prominent family, so the princess will naturally have no objections. However, Miss Dong's wedding should also be treated solemnly. My eldest brother may have wanted to have a lively occasion together, but he did not consider Miss Dong's feelings."

"Fortunately, your uncle and I talked him over. You said that Li Xiu is several years older than you, so how could he be so inconsiderate? I just want to tell you that I hope this will not reach the ears of the princess or the young lady of the Dong family, otherwise they will think that we look down on them..." Yu Yan'er shook her head helplessly.

Chu Wange understood her aunt's concerns and quickly responded, "Don't worry, aunt, I won't say anything nonsense. Big brother might have been confused for a moment and didn't think it through. But after you and uncle's reminders, he will definitely correct himself."

"Aunt, my eldest sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law who hasn't married into the family yet are both good people. They won't take it to heart. Don't worry." Chu Wange was afraid that she would continue the previous topic, so she quickly said, "Then next time, aunt, please help my second sister-in-law more. We are all family, it would be better if we didn't hide anything..."

——Boundary line——

"Lixiao, last time, I thought your wedding to Miss Dong Er was not too far off from mine and Qingyu's, so I didn't think much about it. I hope you don't mind." Chu Lixiu said apologetically. He had been busy these days, and his second brother, Chu Lixiao, was equally busy, so the brothers' weddings were three months apart.

Chu Lixiao understood that his elder brother was busy, and quickly responded: "Brother, don't say that, I understand. It's a good thing for us two brothers to have the wedding together." He didn't care about the arrangement of the wedding date, as long as he could marry his beloved, any time would be fine.

Chu Lixiu felt a little relieved after hearing his second brother's words. He knew his proposal was a bit hasty, but it was also made with good intentions. Now that his second brother was so understanding, he felt very relieved.

"That's good. When you and Miss Dong Er get married, I will definitely make good arrangements for you."

"Big Brother, Second Brother!" Zuo Ci also came to help. The reason he arrived late was because Crown Prince Chen Siran asked him to bring Su Linqing to the palace to see Crown Princess Liao Qingyan. This was Chen Siran's first child since entering the Eastern Palace, so he was naturally very cautious. After all, he wanted a daughter, and his son was almost two years old. And now, Crown Princess Liao Qingyan was feeling unwell during this pregnancy, and Su Linqing was in the capital, treating the Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty!!"

"Brother, don't be so distant. Here, I am just Wange's husband and the brother-in-law of the elder and second brothers." Zuo Ci said.

"Then brother-in-law, I leave this to you." Chu Lixiu said.

"Alright, big brother. Leave this to me. You should get some rest. You'll be the groom tomorrow, so you need to conserve your energy." Zuo Ci responded. Gong Qingyu was a princess, and Lord Gong had four sons, yet this precious girl was married off to big brother. It's easy to imagine how difficult it would be to pick up the bride tomorrow.

"Brother, it's really different after getting married. My brother-in-law is an experienced person." Chu Lixiao teased.

"Second brother, don't forget, my sister is the sister-in-law of Miss Dong Er. When the time comes, you will have to go to the Dong family to pick up the bride..." Zuo Ci also teased Chu Lixiao.

"Brother-in-law, no, Your Highness, please spare me." Chu Lixiu was amused by Chu Lixiao's pretending to beg for mercy.

Chu Lixiao and Zuo Ci both noticed that their eldest brother, Chu Lixiu, was nervous. Chu Lixiu's nervousness was understandable. After all, the person he was marrying tomorrow was Princess Gong Qingyu, the beloved daughter of Lord Gong. The importance of this wedding was self-evident.

With Chu Lixiu's wedding coming to an end, the next big thing was his second brother Chu Lixiao's wedding to Dong Mingxue of the Dong family, and then Mu Lanxin's wedding. Zuo Ci and Chu Wange were busy with one wedding or another today, and their conversations with Shiqi and the others about other people's affairs had also delayed them quite a bit.

The biggest surprise was undoubtedly Mu Lanxin. Who could have imagined she would marry Du Xingyuan, Du Yuanhuai's eldest son? The Dali Dynasty placed great importance on matching social status, and with Du Yuanhuai now serving as a minister, Mu Lanxin's status seemed humble in comparison. Mu Lanxin, considered a merchant, was actually the daughter of the former minister, Mu Heng. Du Yuanhuai, knowing full well Mu Lanxin's status, agreed to let his eldest son, Du Xingyuan, marry her as his principal wife, a topic of considerable discussion. He was the legitimate eldest son, not a concubine's son. Many lamented that Mu Lanxin must have burned several lifetimes of incense to marry into such a prestigious family.

Of course, Madam Mu Jiang also didn't show up, just like when Chu Wange got married. If Jiang's absence was due to Chu Wange divorcing Mu Heng on behalf of her mother, it would be understandable. But what about Mu Lanxin? She was a descendant of the Mu family, after all, and yet she still didn't show up. If Mu Yuqi and Chu Haolin hadn't visited Jiang at the foot of Jing'an Temple every once in a while, everyone might have thought she was dead outside.
