A trace of warmth flowed through Chen Anning's heart. He held her hand and said with a smile, "It's hard for the princess to come back to Chen's house, but she always has to sit down before leaving."
"Have you forgotten, Princess? You came here today, but you have business to do." The nanny beside her quickly reminded her.
"Look at me, I forget everything when I'm in a hurry." Princess Guangling smiled and patted Chen Anning's hand, "Then go sit in your yard first."
After leading Princess Guangling to sit down in Qingzhiyuan.
When Chun Rui and Chuntao brought the tea, Chen Anning took the initiative and asked, "I wonder why the princess came here today?"
"Don't be in a hurry." Princess Guangling lifted the lid of the tea, blew away the foam, took two sips of tea, glanced at the furnishings in the room, and then looked outside, "Why is this yard so bare?"
Chen Anning's face froze for a moment before she calmly replied: "Earlier when I was competing with Master Xie, I accidentally made it like this. It will last forever, so I didn't take care of them."
Princess Guangling was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded: "No wonder his father wants to scold him for bullying others. With his attitude in dealing with things, without the emperor to rely on him, he can only stare."
Mrs. Qiu, who had been humiliated before, heard this and immediately said: "Fighting and fighting is just the fun between children. Don't worry, Princess, I will have the yard tidied up later."
After Princess Guangling endured it for a while, she put down her teacup and said, "That's it. Since you are here, I'll just spread it out and tell you the truth."
After asking her mother to take out the list of betrothal gifts, Princess Guangling continued: "Originally, after the emperor granted the marriage, it was time to come to propose marriage. Because of the case at the Hepingfang Underground Colosseum, it has been delayed until now. This is the betrothal gift. List, please take a look and see what’s missing.”
Mrs. Qiu suppressed her excitement and respectfully took the betrothal gift list. She covered up her embarrassment of being illiterate and said, "I'm afraid I have to discuss this matter with the old lady and the master before I can decide."
"It should be like this." Princess Guangling nodded, "Take your time and take your time, don't be in a hurry."
No, she is anxious!
Looking at the long gift list, Mrs. Qiu, who was eager to know the contents, couldn't help but stand up and said: "An Ning, please serve the princess well, I will go to your grandmother and father to discuss the betrothal gift."
Chen Anning wanted to stop him, but was held down by Princess Guangling.
After Mrs. Qiu left, Princess Guangling said, "This is a necessary process and cannot be omitted."
After a pause, he said comfortingly: "Don't worry, as long as the Chen family doesn't want the stars in the sky, the Guangling Palace will always be able to give them back."
Chen Anning smiled and said, "Then just listen to the princess."
On the betrothal gift list prepared by Princess Guangling, the number of dowry gifts from the matchmaker and what each dowry gift included were clearly written down.
Mrs. Qiu rushed back to the yard with the list. Regardless of Chen Fanghai's health, she pulled him up from the bed and said, "Princess Guangling came to the house to discuss the employment matter. Quickly take a look at what is written on this list?"
Chen Fanghai was feeling groggy and uncomfortable. When he heard her words, he immediately grabbed the list, scanned it quickly, and hummed: "She is very lucky. The betrothal gift on this list is bigger than what the prince of Huai'an County gave out last year." How rich!"
"Seriously!" Ms. Qiu couldn't help but take back the list, regardless of whether she could read or not. After looking at it from beginning to end, she said happily, "Look, the daughter I gave birth to is more useful! That daughter of yours, I don’t know where he died!”
Chen Fanghai was also pleased with the fact that the Guangling Palace paid so much attention to Chen Anning, but when he heard her sarcastic words, he couldn't help but hit him: "Don't be too happy too early! The Guangling Palace sent such an expensive betrothal gift, you still Think carefully about what kind of dowry you can buy for An Ning!"
"What kind of dowry are you buying?" Mrs. Qiu rolled her eyes and said, "She is a disciple of the genius doctor Liu Xiuzhu and Yin Xiruo. This identity is her biggest dowry!"
"Go tell the Guangling Palace about this!" Chen Fanghai lay back on the bed, "Where is the detoxification pill? Give it to me quickly."
"Eat, eat, or you'll die!" After throwing the detoxification pill to him, Mrs. Qiu went to Mrs. Chen with the gift list.
After Mrs. Chen read the gift list, she was also surprised by the grand arrogance of Guangling Prince's Mansion, "This peace is really a blessing."
"I am naturally blessed to have a daughter." After Mrs. Qiu said a few words proudly, she urged with great pride, "The princess is still waiting. Please hurry up and see if there is anything else you want to add. If you don't have one, I will go." Answered."
"I have only heard the names of most of the items on this list and have never seen the actual objects. What else can I add? I can't add anything." Mrs. Chen waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, don't keep the princess waiting. "
"Then I'll go." Mrs. Qiu took back the gift list and quickly returned to Qingzhiyuan. She said happily, "The old lady and the master have agreed. There is nothing more to add. All procedures will be according to the arrangements of the palace. .”
After hearing this, Princess Guangling took the betrothal gift list from her, handed it to Chen Anning and said, "You should also take a look and tell me if there is anything missing."
When Chen Anning saw that the matchmaker was the eldest princess, her eyes moved slightly.
"Although it has been almost two years since you came back to the capital," Princess Guangling explained, "but you don't know many people you know well, and the eldest princess can barely be counted as one. Asking her to be a matchmaker, firstly, you are kind to her, and you have Feel free to ask for anything; secondly, her status is valuable enough and she won't wrong you."
Chen Anning nodded, "I have no objection to asking the eldest princess to be my matchmaker. But, is the betrothal gift given by the princess too much?"
"There's so much!" Mrs. Qiu winked at her anxiously and said quickly, "The palace gives you these betrothal gifts because it values you!"
Princess Guangling nodded in agreement, "This kid Xun'er doesn't follow the rules. No matter how much betrothal gift I give you, it won't be too much."
Chen Anning put the gift list on the table, "You have all misunderstood me. What I mean when I say too much is that it is too troublesome to bring it away. If you can, send it directly to my house."
Qiu:……
Princess Guangling:...
Chen Anning raised her eyebrows, "Don't these betrothal gifts belong to me after they are sent over?"
"It belongs to you." Princess Guangling said with a smile, "However, no matter how troublesome it is to bring it, you have to take it. This is not only the face of the Guangling Prince's Palace and the Chen family, but also your face."
Qiu nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, since you don't want to go to the palace, I will send a few people over to take care of you later." Princess Guangling glanced at the sky outside, "Don't refuse, either. As the minister of Dali Temple, Xun'er is destined to travel here and there all the time. Come on, if you follow him, you will inevitably get hurt. He is a man and should suffer some hardships. You are a woman and you must take good care of yourself."
"Then just follow the princess's arrangements." Chen Anning said.
"That's right." Princess Guangling held her hand happily, patted it gently, then stood up and said, "I have to go to the palace, so I won't stay here any longer. You still have guests here, It’s hot, so just sit down and I’ll walk by myself.”
Good luck to Chen Anning.
Mrs. Qiu followed to the gate of Qingzhiyuan. After watching Princess Guangling walk away, she hurriedly returned to the house and accused: "You, you, Prince Guangling's palace values you, that's your blessing! If it's not troublesome, don't say anything about it in the future. Do you hear that? I’m doing this for your own good, so don’t be impatient...Okay, okay, I’ll go, can’t I go?”
After returning to the courtyard and venting her unhappiness on Chen Fanghai, Qiu secretly went to the concierge and inquired about Mr. Chu's identity from the guard.
