Notwithstanding what Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu said, Zhao Chen also considered that if there were no major twists and turns, he and Li Ruoshuang would get married in a month.
The craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry have already been working overtime for the Marquis Mansion that Lao Li Tou promised him.
But I still can’t make it in time for the wedding.
When it's time to get married, Zhao Chen can't bring Li Ruoshuang to the tavern, right?
Even if Li Ruoshuang didn't care, Li Jing and Hongfu Nu would not agree.
Moreover, the noble Marquis’ wife cannot live in a tavern, right?
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were asked to go back first, and Zhao Chen accepted the people they brought over.
After all, it was hard to completely refuse the kindness of the two of them.
Otherwise, I don’t know what they would think.
Let the generals go back to their homes first, Zhao Chen discussed it with Uncle Fu, and then went to Li Jing's house.
…
Queen Changsun left the tavern and went to the Duke Wei's mansion.
After getting nearly 20,000 yuan from Zhao Chen, Queen Changsun was still in a good mood.
Although there is some intention of taking advantage of the situation, what is the relationship between Zhao Chen and himself?
Moreover, Zhao Chencai is really not short of money, but the emperor has a copper coin that he cannot break in half and spend it.
This Wan Guan is of little use to Zhao Chen, but it is different for the emperor.
Empress Changsun arrived at Duke Wei's mansion in a brisk manner. Li Jing did not show up, but Hongfu Nu stood in front of the mansion to greet her.
She understood in her heart why Queen Changsun came to her house today, but Hongfu Nu felt that she was not happy at all.
Xu Lai is his daughter and will marry someone else soon, so he feels a little reluctant to let go.
"Sister, you can't bear to part with that girl Ruoshuang?" Empress Changsun asked Hong Funu with a smile.
Hong Fu Nu naturally nodded.
I was still thinking in my heart that if the queen's own daughter married into someone else's family, she would probably have the same idea as me.
However, she would not say this.
Hongfunu was just curious, why was the majestic Empress of the Tang Dynasty so concerned about the affairs of a young man like Zhao Chen?
You know, even when the prince got married, Queen Changsun only paid a visit to the prince as ordered.
Where would it be like now?
Even if Zhao Chen is very capable and endears himself to Empress Changsun, it won't be like this.
The Queen came to propose marriage in person. If this news reached the hearts of the Crown Prince and King Wei, what would they think?
"Sister, I'm just thinking, why am I so concerned about Zhao Chen's child?" Empress Changsun looked at Hong Fu Nu with a smile.
"That's the case. Your Majesty's treatment of Zhao Chen is really a bit unusual."
"For a long time, I have been wondering whether Zhao Chen could be your child..."
"Nonsense!" Empress Changsun's expression changed and she scolded lightly.
The originally warm atmosphere suddenly changed to something subtle.
Queen Changsun's heart suddenly tightened. Her kindness to Zhao Chen had already been noticed by many people.
Even Hong Fu Nu began to speculate about the relationship between Zhao Chen and herself.
But her guess was right, she and Zhao Chen were indeed in a mother-son relationship.
I have owed Zhao Chen for sixteen years, and now that I know his identity, I still can't compensate him properly?
Hong Fu Nu just blurted out the words.
But when she heard Queen Changsun scolding her, she herself reacted.
The relationship between the Queen and Zhao Chen is that of mother and son. Regardless of whether this is groundless or not, once word spreads, it will be a huge crisis for the Tang Dynasty.
Even the court will tremble.
Don't dare to say this nonsense.
The north wind blew in the yard, and Queen Changsun suddenly felt a little cold.
"Sister, please don't say this to anyone else." Empress Changsun tightened her clothes and said to Hong Fu Nu.
"Okay!" Hong Funu replied with only one word.
"Then Zhao Chen and Ruoshuang's marriage..."
"Don't worry, Madam, the family is ready. As long as the girl likes it, we two old guys won't say anything." Hongfu Nu said with a smile.
She was still extremely satisfied with Zhao Chen.
Of course, if Zhao Chen didn't think about fighting those aristocratic families with the emperor!
Queen Changsun nodded.
My mission was finally completed, and the stone in my heart fell to the ground.
Now she is waiting for the New Year, the day when Zhao Chen gets married!
Queen Changsun stood up to say goodbye, and Hong Fu Nu naturally stood up to see her off.
The two of them had only taken a few steps when they saw Zhao Chen wandering in from the outside. The servants of the Duke's Mansion next to him greeted him with a smile.
Now it has been spread throughout the house that Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang will get married on New Year's Day.
Moreover, it was the Queen herself who was the matchmaker.
From now on, Zhao Chen will be their uncle.
Isn’t this a good way to curry favor?
"Uncle, are you looking for my young lady or my wife?"
"Madam is talking to the Queen. Would you like me to go and report it to you?"
"My sister is feeding the horse in the stable. It's the sweaty pony that the lady gave to you!"
"My master has given orders not to see visitors, but if you want to go, you can definitely do it!"
The servants of the Duke's Mansion gathered around Zhao Chen one by one and flattered him.
That attitude was better than usual towards Hong Fu Nu.
But the red-flecked girl who was watching from the side was so angry that her eyes widened.
"Sister, it seems that I can really rest assured, so I'll take my leave now!" Looking at Hong Fu Nu, who looked unhappy, Empress Zhangsun covered her mouth and chuckled, before bidding farewell to Hong Fu Nu.
Zhao Chen naturally saw Queen Changsun and Hongfu Nu.
Salute to the two of them.
Empress Changsun nodded and saw that Zhao Chen did not raise his head to look at her. She was probably still annoyed that she had defrauded him of nearly 20,000 guan of silver.
Queen Changsun was not annoyed, smiled slightly, patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder, turned and left.
How dare all the servants of the Duke's Mansion dare to speak at this moment.
Fortunately, Hongfu Nu was not a harsh person, so she waved her hand and let everyone disperse.
"What are you doing here, kid?"
"Since we have agreed to your marriage to Ruoshuang, we will naturally not go back on it, but can you take into account the reputation of our government?" Hong Funu covered her head. She really had no way to deal with Zhao Chen.
Li Ruoshuang will not marry Zhao Chen if she is wrong.
You are just such a precious daughter, how can you not go along with it?
But Zhao Chen is too bastard.
The wedding date hasn't come yet. What does it look like to come to the Duke's Mansion again and again?
"It's Zhao Chen who didn't think carefully, but this time I came here because I have something important to discuss with Ruoshuang!" Zhao Chen did not quarrel with Hong Fu Nu, but bowed his hands to her respectfully.
Hongfu Nu was also intrigued by Zhao Chen's actions.
"If you have anything to discuss with Ruoshuang, it's the same thing with me!" Hongfu Nu sat down on the stone bench beside her and reached out to Zhao Chen.
He motioned for him to sit aside.
Zhao Chen was naturally not polite. He looked at Hong Fu Nu and remained silent for a moment before opening his mouth to explain his purpose clearly.
