The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!
Chapter 278 The Best Day for Proposing
On the eighth day of the eleventh month, Princess Boyang used the horoscopes of Lu Qingxiao and Jiang Zhiyue to calculate the best auspicious day for proposing.
The eldest princess and Duke Lu brought Lu Qingxiao to the Lu family for a family memorial service.
After that, they set off for the Duke of England's palace.
"I'm coming, hurry up, go inform the old lady and the Duke."
The doorman of the Duke of England's mansion was at the intersection early to check.
When he saw someone from the Princess's Mansion, he immediately ran back to report the news.
Duke Lu and the eldest princess were in the first carriage, and Lu Qingxiao was riding Chengfeng next to the carriage.
Today he was wearing a beige round-necked, right-fronted, narrow-sleeved robe, and a graceful lotus crown on his head.
There was a plain hairpin inserted horizontally, and around the waist was a black jade belt inlaid with gold.
There was a carriage behind them, and the Lu Guichi brothers were also riding horses and following the carriage like Lu Qingxiao.
Further back was the betrothal gift that the eldest princess was going to give to the sixth young lady of the Jiang family. The line was so long that one could not see the end at a glance.
There were children watching the fun on both sides of the avenue, and it was lively and bustling all the way to the Duke of England's palace.
The Duke of England's mansion is also bustling today.
Knowing that there was a happy event in the master's house, the doorman, servants, maids and old women all had smiles on their faces.
The Duke of Yingguo, Mr. Jiang Erye, Mrs. Qiao, and the two men, Jiang Tiyu and Jiang Rongzhuo, were all at the door to greet the Princess and the Duke of Lu and his wife.
The first to arrive was the tribute officer, who saluted the Duke of England humbly and politely.
Then the eldest princess and Duke Lu got off the carriage in front.
The second carriage brought down the general's wife, her new wife Xue Linglong, and her daughter Lu Chaoxia.
The Duke of England went forward first and spoke to the Duke of Lu and the eldest princess.
Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Qiao also stepped forward to greet the general's wife.
The eldest princess was in a good mood today. She liked the Duke of England and spoke to him in a nice way.
Lu Qingxiao bowed politely to the three elders, Duke Yingguo, Mr. Jiang Erye, and Mrs. Qiao.
The younger ones at the back also followed Lu Qingxiao in bowing.
When Qiao saw the handsome men and beautiful women in the Lu family, she thought that the children in our Jiang family are not bad either.
The Duke of England invited Princess Boyang into his mansion and gave Lu Qingxiao a rare good look.
Master Jiang on the side laughed. His elder brother also had to understand how Pei Zhi felt on the day he came to propose marriage and give the betrothal gift.
Qiao turned around and saw Mr. Jiang's smile, then gently nudged him and whispered, "Don't let your uncle see it."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang deliberately suppressed the smile on his face.
The eldest princess came to propose marriage, so the old lady also went to the main courtyard and waited in the main hall.
The group of people came to the main hall in such a mighty manner.
Duke Yingguo, Mr. Jiang Erye and others took their seats respectively.
The tribute officer first paid his respects to the old lady and made it clear that today was an auspicious day.
"The Lu family of Duke Lu's Mansion respectfully presents that we are in a good relationship with the Jiang family of Duke Ying's Mansion, and we are here to propose marriage."
"The main gift is a pair of wild geese, and the secondary gifts are a carved agarwood screen with four seasons, a Lujun blue and blue eight-edged string pattern vase, an ebony gilded elephant bed with winding branches, and a rosewood pedestal cloisonné enamel animal-ear stove..."
The tribute officer was reading the gift list for a long time and he hadn't finished reading it yet. The part of the gift list he had read had fallen to the ground.
At first, everyone in the Duke of England's mansion felt that the Princess and Princess Ruth did take them seriously, and they were satisfied.
But as he was reading, the tribute officer drank a cup of tea and the gift list was not finished yet.
For someone like Qiao, who had never seen the royal family's wealth, his eyes were wide open. This was too much.
The old lady Yan and the Duke of England looked at each other, and the old lady turned her gaze to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess nodded with a smile on her face and said readily: "My mother and my brother are both concerned about the child's marriage, so I added a little more."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Duke of England's mansion knew that the eldest princess's actions were all exaggerated.
Then you don't have to worry about others saying you're doing something inappropriate.
"I would like to marry Miss Jiaojin Six of the Duke's Mansion on behalf of my eldest son, Lu Qingxiao. Please accept my request."
The tribute officer finally finished speaking and came to the most important sentence.
The general's wife, as the betrothal attendant, took the engagement letter and handed it to the Duke of England.
"The Lu family sincerely seeks employment, please accept my offer."
The old lady smiled and looked at the Duke of England, who nodded solemnly and made a gesture of assent: "Yes."
As soon as the British Duke finished speaking, the banquet music arranged outside began.
This day was the day that the Princess's Mansion came to propose marriage, so naturally the Duke of England's Mansion had to prepare a banquet to entertain them.
At the same time, the Duke of England's relatives were also invited, including Yu Rukui's family, the Yan family, and the future Ming and Pei families.
Her elder sister Jiang Lingyun and King Xuan were also present, but Jiang Lingyun just followed her sister and watched from behind the screen.
As soon as the banquet music started, those who came to the banquet knew that the marriage was finally settled.
Duke Lu glanced at his son and gave him a look, telling him to go over and talk to his future father-in-law.
Lu Qingxiao took the initiative to step forward and saluted the Duke of England.
Duke Ying nodded, "Achan is a proud person, and I spoiled her into having a bad temper."
"If she does something wrong after marrying you, please be understanding and tolerant."
"If I make you angry, you can come and vent your anger on me. I won't allow you to hurt her in the slightest."
As the Duke of England spoke, he choked up and sobbed violently.
Old Madam Yan really didn't expect that her eldest son would be so emotional?
The eldest princess didn't care at all that the Duke of England was choking, she just looked at her son happily.
It was nothing to be scolded. When his father proposed to marry her, his mother was quite embarrassed.
In comparison, these few sentences are nothing.
Before Lu Qingxiao could say anything, the princess stood up gracefully and said to the Duke of England, "Don't worry, my dear father-in-law."
"When Ah Chan marries Qing Xiao, I will definitely treat her as my own daughter."
"Even Qing Xiao would have to stand in the back row. He would definitely treat Achan like the apple of his eye and cherish her dearly."
Perhaps it was the contrast between the eldest princess's overly happy mood and the Duke of England's overly sad mood.
Both Mr. Jiang and Duke Lu could hardly control the expressions on their faces.
It's so delicious.
Jiang Zhiyue was clearly behind the screen, but she always felt that Lu Qingxiao could see her through the screen.
At this moment, the gatekeeper outside came to report that someone from the palace had come to announce an imperial decree, and asked all the masters to go to the middle gate to receive it.
Old Lady Yan looked at the Duke of England, who then looked at the Princess: "Your Highness, have you requested an imperial decree?"
The eldest princess looked innocent: "Isn't this what you said to your brother at the time?"
The Duke of England was shocked: "Really? Did I say that?"
Old Madam Yan couldn't help but shake her head. It was okay for the eldest son to have a brain seizure, but why did the eldest princess also get involved?
"Okay, call Ah Chan out, and let's go receive the order first."
Old Lady Yan made the final decision and looked at the Duke of Yingguo and Princess Boyang as if they were children.
Jiang Zhiyue followed Old Madam Yan, and Lu Qingxiao automatically walked to the other side of Old Madam Yan.
The two of them stood beside Old Lady Yan, as perfect a match as a golden boy and a jade girl.
The princess couldn't help but sigh to Duke Lu in a low voice: "I'm really good at giving birth."
"Only someone as good-looking as Qing Xiao can match Xiao Achan's stunning appearance."
Duke Lu also nodded and said, "I dare not even think about how good-looking their children will be in the future."
