Chapter 503 Granted Marriage

Xue Baoyi was pushed on Mr. Yang by Chen Afu and became furious and cursed, "Chen Afu, you bitch..." Seeing Chen Afu's gloomy face, she took another step forward and was so frightened that she swallowed the rest of her words.

Now, his mother has lost the emperor's love. In the eyes of the Queen Mother and the Empress, she was no match for this country woman. She had to admit that she and her mother had lost power...

Chen Afu ignored the gloomy Xue Baoyi, got on the sedan chair, and walked away. From behind came the sound of Xue Baoyi crying and cursing, and the sound of Yang Sanye's persuasion.

The Marquis of Chu stayed at Baoguo Temple for three days, then ignored Rong Zhao's pleading eyes and went down the mountain alone. He didn't even go back to the Princess's Mansion and stayed directly at the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Now he has nothing to do on the surface, but he doesn't dare to do anything secretly. He just plays with the children at home every day, and he enjoys it.

Now, not only the two brothers are clamoring for grandpa every day, but also Xiao Yu'er points to the door and keeps saying "ah" when she opens her eyes, meaning to go and play with grandpa.

On the tenth day of August, Xiao Shiyi and Xiao Li Xuan came to Chu's house to play together again. This was the first time Xiao Shiyi came to the Chu family after he and his father, the emperor, and his mother asked to marry Chu Hanyan. She was a little embarrassed to see Chen Afu and Chu Hanyan.

He had already gotten the hint from Chen Afu asking Qiuyue to tell him. Before the matter was settled, he must not tell it to anyone, nor could he tell it to sister Yan'er.

Chen Afu was secretly amused when he saw his red face. As the little guy grows up, he also knows how to be shy.

Chu Hanyan didn't know the reason, so she personally handed him a bowl of watermelon shaved ice and said, "Your Highness's face is so red, it must be because of the heat. Eat a bowl of shaved ice to cool down."

Xiao Shiyi chuckled and took the shaved ice and whispered, "Sister Yan'er is so kind. From now on, brother will give you the best things." He looked at Chen Afu next to him and said quickly, "Give it to mom too."

Chen Afu looked at the two golden girls in front of him and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you."

Fast forward to mid-September, Chen Ming and Wang came to the capital after finishing their busy farm work in the countryside. They will stay here for two months to see their son and daughter's family, and then return to their hometown at the end of the year. I am used to living in my hometown and have many acquaintances, so I still like to go back to my hometown.

That day, Chen Afu happily took several children and the animal house to their house to play.

When everyone gets together, not only people are happy, but the animal family is even happier. Yuan Bao gave birth to two little female puppies. The puppies looked more like their father and had yellow and white fur, so one dog was named Dahuang and the other was named Erbai.

A few days ago, the long and short ones were getting better, but now the short one's belly has grown bigger, and she will become a mother in two months.

Chen Aman also brought Yang Qian here, and Chen Ayu, Yang Mingyuan, and Yang Chao would come for dinner.

A few days ago, Xinglong Restaurant in Beijing had its grand opening. The business is good. This store is mainly managed by Chen Ayu, while Chen Shi is still in charge of the big restaurant in Dingzhou Prefecture.

Chen Ayu has also made an engagement and will get married next year. The girl's father is in the wine business, and his family has wine workshops and wine shops in many places. It can be said that he is very rich. What his family was interested in was not only Chen Ayu's talents and abilities, but also the fact that his cousin was the eldest wife of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and the adoptive mother of His Highness the Eleventh.

Wang and Chen Ming quietly asked Chen Afu, "We miss Dabao, can we meet him secretly? That child Renyi has entered the palace to become a prince, and he is still thinking about us and bringing us things."

Chen Afu said with a smile, "I'll let someone bring him a message, asking him to visit my house when he takes a rest, and you can see him. You can meet openly and openly, there is no need to be secretive."

Mrs. Wang said happily, "That's a good relationship. No matter what, I have raised him for so many years and I miss him so much."

Since September, good news has spread frequently in the south. The counter-rebellion army has been overwhelming and has captured many cities. The second prince and his party have been retreating southwards. Especially on the eighth day of October, another eight hundred miles came to rush, and the counter-rebellion army had occupied Diancheng, the capital of Nanzhong Province. If the war continues at this pace, the war will be over in the first half of next year.

The emperor was overjoyed and issued a decree to reward the soldiers who put down the rebellion.

Upon hearing the news, the third lady and Chen Afu both cried with joy, and the old Marquis and the Marquis of Chu were also overjoyed. When the family was drinking and celebrating in Anrong Hall, someone from the outer courtyard suddenly came to report that the eunuch who delivered the edict had arrived, and asked the eldest sister to go to the front yard to receive the edict.

The Marquis of Chu looked at the old Marquis, and then at Chen Afu and the third lady at the other table. Everyone understood. Get up quickly and go to your respective yards to change clothes.

Li was extremely puzzled and said in shock, "Why did the emperor want to pass the decree to Yan'er? Is it possible that he should give that girl a title? If so, it should also be given to the third younger brother and sister, or Wei'er and Zhi'er. After all, the third uncle is the generalissimo of suppressing the rebellion..."

The second master scolded, "Shut up, you can still guess at the Sacred Heart?"

Chen Afu took the little girl back to the yard, put on his official uniform, and then put the little girl into a bright red dress. Tell her not to be afraid and just do what you usually teach her.

Previously, Chen Afu had asked Aunt Huang to teach the little girl the etiquette of receiving imperial edicts and Yi's edicts.

When we arrived at the outer courtyard, the incense table was already set up.

The chamberlain smiled at Chu Hanyan and said, "Miss Chu, I have accepted the order."

Everyone knelt down.

The eunuch opened the imperial edict and read, "The Emperor proclaims that I have heard that Chu Hanyan, the granddaughter of Yong'an Marquis Chu Guangche, is skilled and generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance and character. I am very pleased to hear this. My eleventh son, Li Zetai, is the daughter of the Queen. He is of noble status and has a natural intelligence. He is a match made in heaven for the daughter of the Chu family. In order to make you beautiful, I will betroth you to the eleventh prince as a concubine. All the etiquette will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Director of the Imperial Observatory. You will get married after you are born. The announcement will be made to the whole country and abroad. I decree this."

Chu Hanyan was panicked and afraid, and didn't quite understand. In a daze, she saw Chen Afu kneeling beside her tugging at her clothes. She quickly kowtowed and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you for your grace!"

The eunuch handed the imperial edict to Chu Hanyan and congratulated the old marquis and Marquis Chu. Chu Lingan quietly stuffed a purse into him.

As soon as the eunuch left, another eunuch from the Cining Palace came to convey the Empress Dowager's decree, commending Chu Hanyan and granting her two jade ruyi and four pieces of palace satin.

Then, the eunuch from the Kunning Palace came again, to convey the Empress Dowager's decree, also commending Chu Hanyan, and granting her two boxes of oriental pearls and two sets of gold-inlaid jade headpieces.

After sending away the eunuchs, the little girl finally knew that she was engaged to the Eleventh Prince, and she would marry him when she grew up. Although her face was red with shame, she was very happy in her heart.

She knew that marrying him would be like her mother marrying her father, and she would live with him forever and give birth to children for him. She liked to live with her brother, which was a dream she had thought about for a long time but dared not tell anyone. Unexpectedly, it finally came true.
