Traveling through the ancient times

The two ate snacks and chatted for a while. Lu Mingqian suggested taking her for a visit. Visiting the garden of a wealthy family in ancient times was just like visiting a museum in modern times. Chushulhua was very curious whether Lu Mingqian's house was as big as Lu Mingcheng's, so she readily agreed.

The housekeeper went in to clear the table, wrote down the snacks that Shounianhua had eaten one by one, put them aside, and called the guards to take them to the kitchen, instructing them to always have snacks of these flavors on hand in the future.

Lu Mingqian would introduce each place to her wherever they went. The layout of the Third Prince's Mansion and the Second Prince's Mansion were generally similar, except that the courtyard of the Second Prince's Mansion was planted with various flowers and plants, and the house was also mainly elegant, with various decorations everywhere.

In the Third Prince's Mansion of Lu Mingqian, there are lush green plants and various ornamental trees that are meticulously trimmed, but very few colorful flowers. The house is also decorated with simple and elegant pear wood furniture. Apart from a few calligraphy and paintings and vases, there are basically no other decorations.

After a general walk around, Chushulhua suggested that they wanted to go back because they were followed by a group of people all the way and she felt a little uncomfortable.

Lu Mingqian explained to her, "Don't take it to heart. I've never brought a woman home before, so they are curious about you. If you come a few more times in the future, they won't be like this anymore."

Well, this explanation is also an invitation in disguise!

Chushuhua expressed his understanding, but he didn't want to be watched all the time, so he said, "Then I'll come back another day. I'll go back today and let them digest it."

Lu Mingqian listened to Nian Chuhua's naughty words and knew that she was not angry, so he felt relieved, "Then I'll take you back."

"it is good"

Nian Chuhua followed Lu Mingqian to the main gate. The housekeeper caught up with them, running out of breath. "Miss Nian, are you leaving now?"

"Yes, butler. I am sorry to bother you today. I will take my leave now."

"No, this is your first time here and you haven't even had your meal yet. Why are you leaving like this? I have asked the kitchen to prepare things. Miss Nian, why don't you stay and have your meal before you leave?" The housekeeper insisted on keeping her.

"Thank you for your kindness, but it's still early now, let's do it next time!"

"There is a garden behind our yard. Recently, His Highness brought back many beautiful flowers and plants. I have carefully cultivated them every day, and they are now in bloom. Why don't you take me there to appreciate them?"

"Maybe next time!" Nian Chuhua glanced at Lu Mingqian and rejected the housekeeper's kindness.

"That's all, housekeeper. I'll take Miss Nian back first."

The butler glanced at Lu Mingqian with resentful eyes, but Lu Mingqian turned his eyes away and didn't look at him.

Lu Mingqian helped Nianchuhua get on the carriage, and the housekeeper warmly invited her, "Miss, if you have time someday, please come to our house more often."

"Okay, thank you, butler."

As the carriage drove away, the old butler looked at it going further and further away, unable to hide his smile, what a good girl.

Today is a good day. Such a great happy event must be told to the King and Queen!

Then, a letter sent by carrier pigeon, with the news that Lu Mingqian brought a girl back home, arrived on the king's desk.

The king looked at the note in his hand, his mouth stretched to his ears, "This kid, I was wondering why he always went to Qunan, and stayed there for several months, it turns out he went there to pursue the girl."

Although the eldest son did not marry a wife, he still had several beautiful concubines in the mansion. The imperial concubine also arranged a marriage for the second son, Miss Jiang. It is said that the two of them are in love with each other.

The only thing that gives him a headache is the third son. He is either handling cases or staying in the military camp. There is not even a maid to serve him in the mansion. People outside have started to spread the rumor that he has a romantic relationship with another man. Don't think that he doesn't know about it just because he is in the palace. Sometimes even his old father can't help but suspect him.

Now, the iron tree has blossomed, and he can finally put his heart at ease.

The king read the note again and again and said, "Let's go tell the queen the good news."

"Yes, let's go to Funing Palace!" Eunuch Changde smiled happily. He was happy as long as the king was happy.

"Really?" In Funing Palace, the Queen was ecstatic when she heard the news brought by the King.

"Of course it's true. I wouldn't lie to you." The king smiled and handed the note to the queen. "If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself."

"Of course I believe the king. I am just too happy. You said Qian'er is already twenty years old. Isn't it worrying?" The queen took the note handed over by the king and read it carefully. The more she read, the bigger her smile became.

"I wonder what kind of character this girl is like?" The Queen was worried. This was her son's first time in love, and she didn't know what kind of girl he had found.

"It doesn't matter. Qian'er has a good eye for girls. The one who can make him chase her so far must be a good girl!"

The king was very confident in Lu Mingqian. As long as his son liked girls, he would be happy even if he married a female demon, because he liked her that way!

The Empress nodded after hearing this. She had also been in Kyoto for these years and had found several girls with good family backgrounds, talents and looks for Lu Mingqian, but her son didn't even look at them. She began to doubt whether Lu Mingqian was really a homosexual as the rumors said...

Her son is a handsome man, good at both literature and martial arts, so why doesn't he like girls? He must have been in the military camp for too long!

For this reason, the Queen Mother even specifically asked the King to transfer Lu Mingqian back to Kyoto. If he stays in the city and interacts with more girls, he probably won't like boys anymore!

But who would have thought that every time Lu Mingqian was tricked back by the king with various reasons, he would leave again after just a few days.

The Queen Mother thought, why not just give in to her son's wishes and find him a few young men, but who knew that Lu Mingqian would bring the girls home on his own, which was such a great joy!

"My Lord, do you think we should ask the Imperial Observatory to calculate the date and start making preparations?"

How could Chu Shuhua have known that after she had just gone to Lu Mingqian's residence to eat some snacks and take a stroll, the Queen would begin preparing for their wedding!

This is too hasty and too careless!

Aren’t they afraid that she is a bad person and has kidnapped their son?

"Empress, why are you more anxious than I am? You should at least ask Qian'er and that girl for their opinions."

"Your Majesty is right. I was so happy that I forgot for a moment. Should we let Qian'er bring the girl back to Kyoto?" The Queen couldn't wait to meet her future daughter-in-law.

"No need. I plan to go to Qunan myself to help Qian'er and Cheng'er check things out." The two brothers Lu Mingcheng and Lu Mingqian both went to Qunan and stayed there for several months. The king had long wanted to visit Qunan, and this time he just found an excuse.

Marrying a daughter-in-law is not a big deal; as an old father, he has to go and see the girl's character in person!

"That's great. I feel relieved that the king will personally check it."

She is about to have a daughter-in-law. Happiness comes too suddenly. She is a little dizzy. I wonder what kind of gift her daughter-in-law would like...

In the afternoon, Lu Mingqian returned to his prince's mansion, and the housekeeper followed him again, "Your Highness, when will Miss Nian come over again?"

"How do I know this?"

The housekeeper looked at Lu Mingqian as if he was looking at a fool. "How could you not know? You invited Miss Nian to come, and she came, didn't she? You are really going to make me die of anxiety, my prince..."

Lu Mingqian thought for a while and said, "Wait a few days!"

"How many days is a few days? And your highness, what kind of dishes does Miss Nian like? Is there anything she cannot eat? I will ask someone to prepare it."

Lu Mingqian thought about it for a moment. Chushou Hua seemed to enjoy everything she ate, and he didn't seem to notice that she had any dietary restrictions...

"Just prepare as you see fit. She's not picky about food and doesn't have any dietary restrictions."

When the butler heard that such a master was easy to serve, he immediately felt that Miss Nian was a kind and easy to get along with person.

A guard popped his head out, "Your Highness, does the prince's wife have many maids?"

"Not many, just a few. Don't try to do anything wrong."

"How could I have any evil intentions? Look at our house, there is no woman at all, only bachelors, waiting for Your Highness to marry the princess. When the time comes, they can choose any maidservant that the princess brings with her. We brothers are willing to do it."

"How do you know the girl is willing?"

"It's okay. We are not as aloof as His Highness. We have our own clever plans."
