Chapter 196 Proper arrangements
With the princess's grand reward, Jin Chu and Su Cheng'an's marriage became completely legitimate, even though it had passed the stage of parents' approval.
Princess Du took Jinchu aside and brought up the topic Su Chengan had brought up earlier: "The prince and I are truly pleased with you, Jin. Marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a woman, so naturally, we don't want to let you down."
Thinking of Su Cheng'an's attentive and caring look, Princess Du couldn't help but reveal a sigh of regret: "Yizhi's consideration for you is beyond my expectation. However, he always thinks of you. In the future, you will be able to live a more comfortable and peaceful life."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Yizhi will be the next Prince of Dingbei, and you will be the next Princess of Dingbei. Your status will naturally be extremely noble. We will also have to go through the three letters and six ceremonies, and we will need someone to come forward as an elder to receive and entertain us at every turn. Therefore, forming a marriage agreement is not a bad idea."
Jinchu smiled and nodded: "The prince told me that day. I am very grateful for the kindness of the prince and the princess."
After hearing Jinchu's words, Princess Du felt relieved. She took Jinchu's hand, patted it, and comforted her: "Don't worry, Jinchu. Our family's status and position clearly do not allow for casual marriages. Although this is a temporary measure, the prince and I will carefully investigate the details of the marriage."
"I will never look for someone who doesn't know how to take things seriously, and I won't cause you and Yizhi any unnecessary trouble in the future. Ah Jin, don't worry about that."
This is a guarantee for Jinchu!
Jin Chu felt relieved, and couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "Ah Jin believes in the judgment of the prince and princess, and will leave everything to the princess's arrangements."
"Okay, give me a few days. Once I find a suitable family, I'll take you to visit them. If you don't like them, we can look for other options. Although this is just a family engagement, we'll naturally have to visit each other several times after marriage. If we don't like them, we can't let ourselves down."
Princess Du's words truly showed her deep consideration for Jinchu. She felt truly touched and stood up to thank Princess Du again, "Your Highness, you have thought so much about me. I am very happy and touched. I trust your judgment."
"Okay, if that's the case, I won't keep you here today. Go back and prepare. I'll invite you to the palace again in a few days."
Jin Chu nodded obediently and went back with the two large carts of rewards from Princess Du.
My sister went to the palace empty-handed, but when she came back she brought two large carts full of valuable rewards. Even the young Zhao'er noticed something was wrong.
In front of the servants of the palace, Jin Chu smiled and directed them to move the things into the room. After the servants put the things away, they all said goodbye to Jin Chu respectfully and left.
Once the door closed, Huanyan was feeling better. Zhao'er blurted out the question she had been holding back for a long time: "Sister, why did the princess give you so many gifts? What does she want you to do?"
Looking at his younger brother's excited and nervous expression, Jin Chu couldn't help but laugh.
She had just opened her mouth when Huanyan beside her answered first: "The princess gave you so many valuable gifts, naturally she wants you to be their daughter-in-law!"
Especially the last three words "daughter-in-law", which were deliberately dragged out by Huanyan. While Zhao'er was surprised, Jinchu's face also turned red.
Jin Chu glared at Huan Yan helplessly, but saw that the girl was looking at him with bright eyes and smiling, without any trace of her previous cautious and well-behaved demeanor.
After working hard alone in the North for several months, Huanyan has grown up at a delightful pace. Now she has been reborn, from a dodder to a sunflower, independent, confident and optimistic.
All the difficulties this girl encountered along the way finally became the hardships that prompted her to grow.
so good!
Jin Chu couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and a feeling of joy and pride arose in her chest that her daughter had grown up. It was not until Zhao'er called her "sister" twice that she was pulled out of this thought.
She rubbed the corners of her slightly moist eyes and said with a smile, "Your sister Huanyan is right. If nothing unexpected happens, I will marry Su Cheng'an next year!"
"Really?"
"real!"
Zhao'er's expression was surprise at first, then gradually turned into disappointment.
It was a happy thing that her sister could marry the prince, but when she thought about the separation from her sister after the marriage, Zhao'er felt unbearable reluctance and discomfort in her heart.
The little guy's face was full of joy and worry, but he finally forced a smile and gave his blessing: "Brother Crown Prince is a very good person. Zhao'er likes him very much. I am also very happy that my sister can marry him."
Jinchu stroked Zhao'er's head and asked knowingly, "After you get married, Zhao'er won't be able to see your sister every day. Will you be happy about this?"
Zhao'er curled his lips, his eyes turned red, and he spoke in a muffled voice: "I am happy that my sister is marrying the prince, but I am unhappy when I think that my sister is leaving me!"
He lowered his head, and a tear fell on Jin Chu's sleeve, making her feel heavy in her heart.
"The Master said that a true man should have ambitions far and wide, and should not simply indulge in the favors of women. If he continues like this, he will lose his independent and resolute character and become a cowardly man who only knows how to enjoy himself and has no ambition."
The little fellow clenched his fists. Although his words were soft, his childish face showed a firm attitude: "Zhao'er doesn't want to become that kind of person."
Jin Chu looked at the little boy in front of him and felt very relieved.
This is her younger brother who she has lived with day and night and raised with great effort.
Unconsciously, he had grown from the timid little boy who could only hide and cry to the young boy in front of him who already had some thoughts.
He loves his sister and is reluctant to leave her, but he still pretends to be happy and wishes her well for her happiness.
Jinchu could no longer hold back the pity in her heart and hugged Zhao'er: "Zhao'er, although your sister is going to get married, because our family is small and our parents died early, you are still young and your sister Huanyan is still an unmarried girl, so we don't have to be like other families--"
Jin Chu stopped talking and saw the little boy looking up at her as she wished. His eyes, which had just shed tears, were clear and bright, with a hint of expectation and joy.
Even Huanyan, who was standing beside him, opened her eyes wide and pricked up her ears towards him.
Jin Chu then put away the thought of teasing the two and said directly: "The princess and the prince have already agreed to let me take you two to the palace after the wedding. Although we can't live together at that time, we can still see each other every day."
"The Princess and the Crown Prince are so kind!" Zhao'er cried out happily. Suddenly, he remembered something and frowned worriedly: "But, will people talk about me like this?"
Huanyan also interrupted at the right time: "Sister, let's not go to the palace with you, right? After all, we are not far away now. If you miss you in the future, you can come out to see us, or I can bring Zhao'er to visit you at the palace."
"No need. I have already discussed this matter with the palace. You don't have to worry. Although my sister and the prince are in love, marrying into the palace is not based solely on feelings. Since I dared to bring you into the palace, I will not let you suffer any injustice."
Jin Chu looked towards the warm sun in the courtyard, his eyes gleaming with confidence: "Even though I don't have a family to support me, I can shine on my own! As for those rumors, they are innocent. Don't worry about them."
