Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 468 The Engagement Ceremony
Now that the marriage has been settled, both parties are busy preparing for it.In a blink of an eye, it was the 26th of the first lunar month, the day when Chu Ruifeng and Qiaoyun got engaged.

The gate of the other courtyard was wide open, and everything was clean and tidy. Many places were still tied with red silk, and the servants were all dressed in new clothes. Everyone had a smile on their face.Today is a good day for the master to get married, and they are also happy.

On the other side of the courtyard, the person in charge of all matters is Qing Lei.Ever since the emperor called Chu Ruifeng into the palace on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Chu Ruifeng ordered people to report to Haining and invite Qing Lei from Haining.Qing Lei is Qiao Yun's righteous brother, and he can be regarded as one of her few relatives in this world, so Qing Lei naturally had to come over to preside over such a happy event.

As for the Qi family in Kaiyuan County, Qiao Yun and Chu Ruifeng automatically ignored it.For Qiaoyun, the Qi family is not her home at all, and those in the Qi family have never regarded her as a relative.At the beginning, she disappeared inexplicably and was nowhere to be seen, so the result was very good, and there was no need to contact them any more.

When the news was sent to Haining, Qing Lei was so happy that he ignored everything, and took people to the capital overnight.As for Yue Rong and Xiao Shitou, they packed up before setting off. After all, Yue Rong still had to take care of the children, so they couldn't be in a hurry.

Qinglei rushed all the way, and finally arrived a day early, and immediately took over all the affairs when he came here.With Qinglei's ability, this matter in the other courtyard is not a problem at all, and it was all figured out in less than one night.Early this morning, Qing Lei took people to inspect the inside and outside of the other courtyard again, and everything was arranged properly, just waiting for the Chu family to come.

When everything was ready in the other courtyard, Qing Lei led his people to wait in the reception room in the front courtyard.At the end of the hour, I saw a young servant rushing in from the outside, "My lord, there are people coming from the Duke's mansion. There are a lot of people here, playing around and carrying a lot of gift boxes. You can't see the end at a glance."

As soon as the young servant finished speaking, he heard the faint sound of drums outside.Qinglei's hearing was excellent, and he knew immediately that the betrothal gift team was about to arrive at the door. "Come on, all of you will go out to greet her with me." If it is reasonable, the people on the woman's side don't have to go out to greet her.But there is no elder on this side, the other party is the Eldest Princess who came in person, and Qing Lei is a junior, so she has to go out to greet her.

Qing Lei led people to the gate, and at this time the Chu family's dowry team also came outside the gate.The drummers were still whistling and playing cheerful tunes, Chu Ruifeng got off the horse, and the eldest princess also got off the carriage.

Seeing this, Qing Lei hurriedly stepped forward to salute the eldest princess, "Qing Lei greets Her Royal Highness." To Qing Lei and the others, the eldest princess is like an elder, and they also respect the eldest princess from the bottom of their hearts.

When the eldest princess saw Qing Lei, she also felt very close, "It's been a long time since I saw you. I heard that you have a son? When will you bring me to show me this. This is the first child of your younger generation. I can't even see what it looks like." The eldest princess has always loved Qingxiao Qinglei and the others, treating them like nephews, that's why she said this.

"Back to the princess, Zhuo Jing is behind with the dog, and it may take some time before they can enter the capital. When they enter the capital, Qing Lei will definitely take them to the mansion to meet His Royal Highness the Princess." Qing Lei hurriedly replied.

The eldest princess nodded, "Okay, let's talk about it when they come to Beijing. I won't talk about it today. Let's get down to business." Today is the day when Chu Ruifeng and Qiaoyun got engaged, and this is the most important thing, so don't gossip , it is better to go straight to the topic.

Qing Lei hurriedly ushered the eldest princess and Chu Ruifeng into the living room. The betrothal gifts outside were left in the yard for the time being, and they would be sent inside later.

When everyone entered the house, the drummer outside stopped playing, and was invited by the steward of the other courtyard to have tea and snacks, and waited for a while to have a banquet.In the living room, everyone was seated, and some maids brought various snacks and tea.

Here, the eldest princess and others sat down, and just about to talk about today's engagement, she suddenly heard someone outside shouting loudly, "The empress is here." When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being stunned. How could the empress come? up?
Logically speaking, now that Qiaoyun is still the queen's adopted daughter in name, the queen should have been invited to preside over Qiaoyun's engagement.But because of what happened in the Princess Mansion last time, the emperor was obviously unhappy. In order not to cause trouble for the queen, the eldest princess did not go into the palace to invite the queen to come this time.

Unexpectedly, the queen was able to come today, and everyone was a little surprised, so they got up and went out to greet her.As soon as the princess led the people out of the living room, she saw the queen had already entered the yard surrounded by a crowd of palace people.The eldest princess and others hurried forward to meet her, "I have seen the empress."

"Miss Huang, please forgive me. Today is Qiaoyun's big day, and I came here specially to join in the fun. We are all a family, so don't be so polite." Before the eldest princess waited for others to salute, the queen helped her lived in the eldest princess. "Feng'er, you are the same, you don't need to salute, today is your good day, and my aunt is here to congratulate you."

Since the sixth day of the first lunar month, the relationship between the emperor and the empress has not been very happy. Even though Tie Moore was in the middle, it was only somewhat relieved.Originally, the empress didn't expect to be able to come out of the palace, just now, the emperor suddenly ordered someone to pass the decree, saying that the empress was to come out of the palace to visit the other courtyard and help Qiaoyun.

The emperor did this, of course, to restore the influence of that day.The emperor personally decreed the marriage, and let the queen go out of the palace to preside over Qiaoyun's engagement ceremony. In this way, it is enough to prove that the emperor has no idea about Qiaoyun, and it will save the government and the public from discussing it, which will have a bad influence.

The queen naturally understood this, but she didn't make it clear, she was just ordered to bring a lot of congratulatory gifts, so she just came out of the palace.The incident happened suddenly, so the eldest princess was not notified in advance. As a result, it turned out that the eldest princess had already arrived first. "Sister Huang, it's because I left the palace a little late, I was supposed to be here waiting for Miss Huang," the queen apologized with a smile.

The eldest princess quickly waved her hands, "What is your empress talking about? It is already a great honor for your empress to come out of the palace in person. It is their blessing that Feng'er and Yun girl can be valued by the empress."

While speaking, the Eldest Princess dragged the Queen, and the two walked side by side into the living room. Of course, the rest followed carefully. Everyone returned to the living room and sat down separately.

With the empress presiding over the engagement ceremony, Qing Lei can relax with a sigh of relief.After all, the eldest princess is the master of Qinglei, and Qinglei felt a little stressed when he asked Qinglei to talk to the eldest princess.Since the queen came, she was naturally not polite. She sat on the main seat and discussed with the eldest princess about various matters of engagement and marriage.
