Traveling through the ancient times

Nian Chuhua had roughly guessed what the Queen was going to say, and waited calmly for her next words.

The Queen secretly looked at Nian Chuhua's expression and found that she did not show any emotion.

Then he continued, "My third prince is now thirty years old, and all the civil and military officials in the court hope that he can marry a concubine as soon as possible. I and the king also hope that he can have a happy marriage with the person he loves.

Mingqian and Miss Nian are in love with each other. I hope Miss Nian's voice can get better soon, and you two can get married soon.

As the prince of Dongyi Kingdom, Mingqian has responsibilities that he must shoulder.

He needed a virtuous wife who could help him manage the internal affairs of the mansion. Whether it was the wives of officials in the capital or the families of envoys from neighboring countries, they all needed the prince's wife to receive them.

If Miss Nian's throat cannot be cured, she may not be able to handle these tasks.

Miss Nian, can you understand what I mean?"

Nianchuhua nodded, took out the small notebook she carried with her and wrote down a sentence.

[I understand what the Queen means. Don't worry, I will not become a stumbling block for the Third Prince. If I cannot speak again in this life, I will stay away from the Third Prince! ]

After reading what Chushouhua wrote, the Queen Mother loved Chushouhua even more. She was bright and beautiful, well-educated, polite, smart, considerate, and knew when to advance and retreat.

It would be a pity if such a woman could not become Lu Mingqian's princess consort.

However, no matter how many advantages Chushouhua had, the fact that she couldn't speak was enough to wipe out her chances of becoming the Third Prince's consort.

If Lu Mingqian married a mute imperial concubine, not only would there be many criticisms among the civil and military officials in the court, but if this matter spread to other countries, Lu Mingqian would also be ridiculed.

As Lu Mingqian's princess consort, Chu Shuhua had to endure even more.

The Queen Mother looked at Nian Chuhua lovingly and said, "I only have two princes, no daughters. If Miss Nian cannot become my daughter-in-law, then I will adopt Miss Nian as my adopted daughter. I will ensure that Miss Nian will have no worries in her life."

Even though she was mentally prepared, Nian Chuhua still couldn't help but feel nervous when she heard the Queen's words.

How does it feel to become a sibling with the one you love?

Faced with such a kind and friendly queen, Nian Chuhua had no way to refuse and had no other choice.

In this era, if an ordinary person married a mute, he might be criticized by the nosy neighbors, let alone Lu Mingqian, a prince who was so high and mighty.

She thought that the Queen Mother would directly warn her that if her throat could not be cured, she should stay away from Lu Mingqian. She even wondered if the Queen Mother would find an excuse to kill her to clear the obstacles for Lu Mingqian.

As a result, the Queen Mother not only did not threaten her, but also adopted her as her adopted daughter. This shows that the Queen Mother is a kind-hearted person.

She could understand the Queen and the King's painstaking efforts. This was an ancient time when imperial power was supreme and rumors could crush people to death.

In ancient times, if she, a mute, got married and met a bad in-law family, their true colors would be revealed after marriage and they would start to dislike her, humiliate and torture her.

If she doesn't get married and does business to earn a living, it's not bad. However, in ancient times, if a woman is not married after the age of 20, she will be criticized, and her parents and brothers will also be criticized.

If she were the adopted daughter of the Queen, no one would dare to neglect her.

Even if outsiders look down on her in their hearts, they dare not do anything to her openly. She is like a talisman.

Nian Shuhua stood up and bowed deeply to the Queen once again to express his gratitude!

The Queen quickly stepped forward and pulled up Nian Chuhua, "Child, there is no need to kneel and bow down all the time. I am not such a pedantic person. It's just that Mingqian's status is there, I hope you can understand."

Their Dongyi Kingdom is now rich and powerful. When the King and Queen choose a concubine for the prince, they do not require her to have a high family background. As long as the woman has good character, can help manage government affairs, and has a mutual understanding with the prince, it will be enough.

The Queen Mother said some more words of encouragement to Nianchuhua. Since Nianchuhua could not speak, and it would be boring for the Queen Mother to talk alone for a long time, so she rewarded Nianchuhua with a lot of gold, silver, jade, cloth, etc., the most of which were precious medicinal materials.

Nian Shouhua thanked the emperor, took the reward and followed the palace maid back to Lu Jinse's Jinse Palace.

Jiang Ruixue had been sitting restlessly, fearing that the Queen would say something that Nianchu Hua could not accept. When she saw Nianchu Hua coming back, she hurried forward to ask, "Are you okay?"

Although Nian Chuhua felt a little depressed, facing Jiang Ruixue's concerned eyes, she still gave a comforting smile.

[I'm fine. The Queen summoned me just to ask some simple questions!]

Although the words sounded nonchalant, Jiang Ruixue still caught a glimpse of loneliness in Nian Chuhua's eyes. Due to Lu Jinse's presence, she couldn't say anything. She could only take Nian Chuhua's slightly cold hand, hold it in her palm and squeeze it to give her strength.

The warmth from the fingertips warms up the heart that had been cold at the beginning of the year.

Yes, even though Lu Mingqian was gone, she still had Jiang Ruixue! And the Nian family's parents and brother!

Nishiumuhua is a person who is particularly good at self-adjusting, so the smile on her face seems much more sincere.

After Chuanxihua returned to Jinxiu Palace for a while, the Queen Mother's reward to Jiang Ruixue also arrived.

The two of them entered the palace together. If only Nianchu’s painting was rewarded, people would inevitably talk about it. However, Jiang Ruixue was about to marry the second prince, so if the two of them were rewarded together, no one would say anything.

Jiang Ruixue accepted the rewards with great trepidation. She had done nothing and hadn't even met the Queen. How could she have received so many rewards?

Jiang Ruixue was just about to follow the palace maid back to express her gratitude, but the palace maid who delivered the message said that the Queen was tired and was resting, so Jiang Ruixue didn't need to go to express her gratitude.

After sending the palace maid away, the few of them chatted for a while. Jiang Ruixue saw that Nian Chuhua was not in a good mood, and it was not convenient for her to talk.

Jiang Ruixue asked Lu Jinse to leave the palace on the grounds that Nian Shouhua had to go back home to take medicine.

Nianchuhua was so grateful for Jiang Ruixue's thoughtfulness that she burst into tears. She didn't want to stay here and put on a smile any longer. She wanted to go back and lick her wounds in silence. Then tomorrow would be another energetic Nianchuhua.

Although Lu Jinse was a chatterbox, she was not the kind of unreasonable and unruly princess. When she heard Jiang Ruixue say that, she immediately let her go and asked Nian Chuhua to go back and take good care of herself. She would go out of the palace to visit her in a few days.

Jiang Ruixue and Nianchuhua left the palace with the Queen's reward.

In the carriage, Jiang Ruixue looked at her worriedly, leaning her head on her shoulder without saying a word to Nian Chuhua, and asked with concern, "What did the Queen say?"

Nianchuhua let out a long breath and wrote down her summary of what the Queen had said.

[The Queen Mother said that if her throat can be cured, she will be her daughter-in-law; if it cannot be cured, she will be her adopted daughter.]
