1994 Chapter 1994-uninvited
....
Majesty Kang muttered at the side,”he’s not as good looking as my Jinghe!”
In the end, Jing He tugged at Majesty Kang and glared at him.’Father, think about how you’ll feel when someone says I’m not good-looking.’ Do you want the Emperor to send you further away?
Majesty Kang immediately shut up.
The Emperor did not hear Majesty Kang’s soft Mutter.
I really didn’t pay attention to their looks.
“Emperor, what are you doing? You’ve scared the child.” The Empress Dowager glanced at the Emperor, then turned to Cheng huaijin with a smile. you’ll be in the capital for a while. You should be more concerned about your own affairs and take a good look at the young ladies around you.
The Empress Dowager emphasized the two words beside her, then turned to look at grandma Gu.”Xianglan, when you’re free, help little Jin take a look. Although we have friendly relations, in Aijia’s heart, little Jin is a person of our great Zhou and should marry a well-mannered girl of our great Zhou.”
Grandma Gu nodded. yes, mother. I understand.
Consort Kang added from the side,”Imperial grandmother, if granddaughter-in-law doesn’t go to the West with His Highness, she’ll have time to help The Little Minister look for his wife!” While you’re at it, give our little family a photo. Now that my granddaughter-in-law is going to the West, great-grandma, shouldn’t you ask aunt Huang to take a look at one for our son?”
“Can your two monkeys be obedient?” the Empress Dowager glanced at her.
Everyone in the room laughed. Princess Jinghe and Crown Prince Kang were really not obedient people.
This topic was changed by consort Kang and everyone started talking about other things.
After dinner, Cheng huaijin did not drink any more wine and excused himself by saying that he was going back to the Academy. He was really afraid that the old men and women would think of him again and mention the matter of matchmaking. This was a show of love and care, but he did not want it at all, so he planned to slip away.
Before she could reach the door, the Butler caught up with her.
The Butler of Majesty Kang’s residence caught up to Cheng huaijin with a lunchbox in his hand. “Prince ah hai, Princess Xinxin asked me to give this to you.”
Cheng huaijin was confused.
The Butler said,”Princess Xinxin said that this is a dessert that our Princess Consort prepared for miss yingxue. It was newly invented by our Palace’s chef. Miss yingxue definitely hasn’t eaten it before.” Princess Xinxin wants to talk to our Princess, so I’d like to ask Your Highness to send her there.”
Cheng huaijin nodded and said,”yes, I understand.” Just leave it to me!”
After the Butler had completed his task, he also sent the person to the door. He happened to meet the uninvited country guarding Duke.
The Butler was stunned for a moment before he went forward to greet him.
Cheng huaijin also saluted the country guarding Duke with the etiquette of a junior. The country guarding Duke was friendly to Cheng huaijin. After asking a few questions, he knew that Cheng huaijin was about to leave, so he didn’t say much and followed the housekeeper into the manor.
Cheng huaijin looked at Duke Zhengguo’s back and smiled. This future father-in-law of his, Xinxin, was quite humble. She had come uninvited twice already. He didn’t know if she would fight with uncle Gu again this time.
Although he really wanted to go and watch the show, Cheng huaijin still didn’t want to be caught talking about the marriage. He carried his lunchbox and regretfully left the Kang family’s residence.
The country guarding Duke followed the Butler to the banquet hall of the Kang family’s residence. There were only the Emperor, Duke Cheng ‘en, the three Gu brothers, his third uncle, and general Peng in the hall.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the country guarding Duke. Majesty Kang blinked and asked in confusion, ” “Old Lu, I remember that I forgot to invite you!”
