Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

After dinner, Chu Hanyan took a nap for three-quarters of an hour. Chen Afu asked someone to wake her up and help her dress up. Hearing that Zhang Ziqi liked the buckles on Chu Hanyan's clothes, Chen Afu took out the five pairs of buckles, packed them in purses, and asked Chu Hanyan to give a pair to each of the girls.

At the same time, Qiqi and Huihui were dressed up. Not only did they wear beautiful anklets, but they also tied a bow around their necks. Because Qiqi's feathers are gorgeous, the bow is moon-white. The gray feathers are monotonous, and the bows are colorful.

He also repeatedly warned the naughty Qiqi not to swear or curse. If they behave well, let Golden Swallow take them and Zhuifeng's family to play in Xiangshan on the outskirts of Beijing for a few days. If it does not perform well, not only will it not be able to play, but it will also be tied up with a chain and starved.

Qiqi wanted to play but was afraid of starving, so she quickly promised, "I won't talk nonsense, I promise Daddy Chu."

Afraid that the big dogs would frighten the little girl, they were led to the courtyard of the old Marquis outside.

The little girl's living room has also been tidied up, and there are some building blocks and puzzles suitable for such a big girl on the table. The building blocks and puzzles are made of small smooth wooden blocks and small wood chips, with relatively complex animals, flowers, trees, and beautiful fairies painted on them. The colors are bright and diverse, and the pictures are exaggerated and cute.

Seeing Chu Hanyan who was happy and nervous, Chen Afu held her face and smiled and said, "Nothing, my mother is just having sex."

Around the end of the day, several pretty little girls came to Zhuxuan one after another. They first came to the upper room to see Chen Afu. Yinghui once again apologized to Chen Afu and Chu Hanyan on behalf of her grandmother, Princess An, and mother, Princess An, and reflected that she, the host, had neglected her duty and had wronged her guest, Miss Chu. , and also gave me a basket of milk grapes given by the emperor.

When all the little guests arrived, Miss Chu took her to her west courtyard to play.

Seeing those cheerful figures and the strings of laughter like silver bells, even Chen Afu's mood lifted. She didn't join in the fun, she just let Miao'er lead Luo Mei and serve him there.

The little girls seemed to be having a great time, and their cheerful laughter could be heard even here.

The two brothers were so greedy that they kept shouting, "We are going to my sister's place to play."

When Chen Afu had a headache, someone from the outer courtyard came to report that the Marquis had returned to his residence and asked the children to be sent to his courtyard.

Chen Afu was secretly happy when he heard that the male aunt was back. Someone quickly pushed Xiao Yu'er, took the two brothers, and sent them to the outer courtyard.

Chen Afu thought that this time Rong Zhao had made another big mistake. Someone would definitely try to impeach Rong Zhao for his bad character and bad morals. When the war in the south was raging, he should not be allowed to provoke the "Bird Immortal". "Rong Zhao continued to stay in the royal family.

During dinner yesterday, the third lady quietly told Chen Afu that the old Marquis had received a letter from the Marquis of Chu and would not allow the Chu family to take any action. In other words, people from the Chu family are not allowed to follow suit.

The emperor is already wary of the Chu family and the Marquis of Chu. It would be better for the Marquis of Chu to do nothing and just be meat on the chopping board and let the emperor slaughter them.

I don’t know how the emperor will deal with Rong Zhao this time. It would be great if he could drive her to the nunnery...

Chen Afu was sitting on the kang, thinking about something on his mind, when Qiuyue came.

Now that Qiuyue is a female official in the palace, Chen Afu also wants to be a little more polite and quickly invites her to sit down and serve tea.

Qiuyue smiled and said a few words, then took the tea and stopped talking. Chen Afu knew that she might have something to say that was not easy to say in public, so he winked, and Hong Fei led his servants out.

Seeing that there was no one around, Qiuyue laughed softly and said, "His Royal Highness said that he has a big happy event. He asked the servant to come and tell the eldest grandma, so that the eldest grandma and the eldest sister will be happy." The voice was so low that only Chen Afu could hear it. Then he smiled and said, "Congratulations to the eldest grandma, congratulations to the eldest grandma. Your Highness has asked the emperor and the queen to grant marriage to your highness and eldest sister. The emperor agreed and said that he would give it to them when the good news of victory in the war comes from the south. Give them a marriage and wait until they reach the age of fifteen before getting married."

This good news almost made Chen Afu jump up in shock. She never dreamed that the emperor would actually agree to marry Xiao Shiyi and Chu Hanyan at a young age. If this is the case, not only will Little Miss Chu have a happy life, but Little Eleven's life will also be easier. I was finally able to let go of what I had been worrying about for so long.

She was a little suspicious again, this was not in line with the emperor's personality. This emperor was relatively cool and not very trustworthy, which can be seen from his treatment of the great hero Chu Houye. It's best not to take his promises too seriously. As long as there is no decree, he may change his mind at any time.

Thinking of this, Chen Afu's previous surprise suddenly dropped a bit.

Qiuyue was a little puzzled when she saw that the surprise in Chen Afu's eyes only flashed for a few times and then returned to calmness. Asked, "Grandma doesn't like them getting engaged as soon as possible?"

Chen Afu said with a smile, "Why, I like her very much. Your Highness and Yan'er grew up together, and they know very well that if they live together in the future, it will be good for everyone. However, this kind of good thing should not be announced in advance. It has not been completely decided yet." Come down, if someone with bad intentions finds out, I'm afraid they will make up the trouble." She didn't dare to say that she didn't believe the emperor's words.

Qiuyue suddenly realized, nodded and said, "Yes."

When Qiuyue left, Chen Afu brought back some snacks for Xiao Shiyi.

The little girls wanted to go home early, so they had an early dinner. At two o'clock in the morning, the servants brought plates of dishes to Xikuoyuan. These dishes are all made in Zhuxuan's small kitchen, focusing on braised food and desserts. The vegetable plate was also beautifully carved with cucumbers and radishes, which again attracted admiration from the little girls.

The little girls ate well, drank well, played well, and left with beautiful and unique plate buckles. Not to mention how happy they were. They went to the upper room to say goodbye to Chen Afu, saying that they would come here to play next time and would also invite Sister Chu to their house.

Chen Afu smiled and expressed welcome, and was willing to let Chu Hanyan go to their house to play. Yinghui once again said that the next time Sister Chu goes to her house to play, she will not invite Feng Miaohua to ensure that Sister Chu will not be injured again.

Chu Hanyan, Qiqi, and Huihui sent the guests out of the courtyard.

Zhang Ziqi whispered, "Sister Chu, your mother is kind. I heard people say that stepmothers are not really kind to stepdaughters, but your mother is as kind to you as her own daughter."

Chu Hanyan really doesn't like people saying that her mother is a stepmother and that her stepmother is not good in front of her. But Zhang Ziqi also said that her mother was kind, so she was a little confused and didn't know how to explain it. He could only pouted and said, "My mother is very good to me. Everyone says that my mother is good."

Yang Qian also said, "It cannot be generalized. My current mother is also a stepmother, but she is also very good to my brother and me. For us, she did not even have children."
