Chapter 1078: Going to Chengenhou Mansion

"How are you doing at Grandma and Marquis Chengen's house?" Shao Wanru asked, flashing his long eyelashes.

She didn't tell her grandmother the truth because she was afraid of accidents. Her grandmother's temperament was also a straight one who couldn't hide things, so it would be safer to not know anything.

"Chengenhou Mansion? The Queen Mother's natal family?" Princess Ruian asked in surprise, "What happened to Chengenhou Mansion?"

"What can grandma do? It's just for the birthday of the imperial grandmother. I first married into Prince Chen's palace, and our prince is not here now. It is the first time to prepare a birthday gift for the imperial grandmother. I have to please the imperial grandmother. It's just that I have not been in contact with the imperial grandmother for a long time. Not long, I would like to inquire about some of the Queen Mother’s preferences from the Marquis Chengen’s Mansion.”

A faint blush appeared on Shao Wanru's pink face, and she lowered her head shyly.

Seeing her look like a worried little daughter-in-law, with a pretty face, full of shame and joy, the eldest princess Ruian laughed with joy. Only in this way did she look like a real newlywed. She always I am worried that my granddaughter will be too worried and lack the joy and innocence of a young girl.

At the moment, it seems that this marriage is at least satisfactory to her, otherwise she would not show such a coquettish expression.

"It's okay, it's okay. I have a good relationship with Madam Chengenhou. Tomorrow I will take you to visit Madam Chengenhou and ask about the Queen Mother's preferences in person." Princess Ruian smiled and said, "Actually, some of the Queen Mother's preferences are... I also know that, and I don’t necessarily have to go to Chengenhou Mansion to inquire.”

Having been the sister-in-law of the Queen Mother for so many years, I have always been able to figure out the Queen Mother's preferences.

"Grandma knows a little bit, but Zhuo Zhuo wants to know more carefully. If I accidentally offend the Queen Mother, not only will the Queen Mother not like it, but the prince will also be embarrassed." Shao Wanru said with a shy smile. The situation suited her current status.

A young daughter-in-law who has just married into her husband's family is naturally worried that she will not be favored by her elders, or may accidentally displease her elders. What is an ordinary young daughter-in-law? What's more, this is the most powerful royal family in the world.

"Okay, okay, it's all up to you!" The eldest princess Ruian nodded repeatedly, and suddenly felt that she had to go to the Chengenhou Mansion. After Shao Wanru returned to the Chengenhou Mansion, she sent a note to the Chengenhou Mansion.

The next day, I took Shao Wanru to the Chengenhou Mansion early in the morning.

Mrs. Chengenhou had already received the news and had been waiting for it early.

Shao Wanru followed the young lady from Chengenhou Mansion who led the way to a flower hall. An old lady sitting in the flower hall had already stood up and came out with a smile on her face.

Although Mrs. Chengenhou is the Queen Mother's sister-in-law, in terms of position, she is not as noble as Princess Ruian and Princess Chen.

"Madam, why are you so polite? This is not my first time here." The eldest princess Ruian took two steps forward and pulled up Mrs. Chengenhou who was about to salute and said with a smile.

"This is not the first time for Princess Chen to come here, but it is the first time for Princess Chen to come here. You must not be rude!" Mrs. Chengenhou said with a smile, and wanted to salute Shao Wanru again.

Shao Wanru already smiled and raised his hand to Mrs. Chengenhou: "Madam, you are too polite. Madam is an elder, so there is no need to be polite."

Seeing that Shao Wanru was not only stunningly beautiful, but also outstanding in his demeanor, Mrs. Chengenhou nodded her head repeatedly, feeling secretly fond of her. This was the first time she had seen Shao Wanru in person. She had heard the Queen Mother talk about this Chen before. The princess was the one that King Chen had chosen, and he said that he would have to wait for a few more years.

In my heart, I became more and more fond of Shao Wanru. Not because of her young age, I thought she was just a coincidence of Prince Chen. Who knows when she would fall out of favor. After all, the prince's temperament only seemed gentle, but in fact he was cold. He is so cold-hearted that no one can enter his heart.

Princess Chen only entered Prince Chen's Mansion because she had a fairly good place.

Mrs. Chengenhou is old and has experienced many things. This King Chen is indeed cold-hearted. At the earliest, she wanted to marry her granddaughter to King Chen. Although King Chen may not live long, At least he has a distinguished status.

It's just that His Highness Chen Wang didn't give face to several granddaughters. Any of them used to look gentle and gentle, but when it fell into the eyes of Chengenhou, his eyes seemed to be looking at a dead thing, without a trace of emotion. From that moment on, Mrs. Chengenhou ran out of ideas and never thought about sending her granddaughter to Prince Chen's Mansion.

Now that this person is really chosen by King Chen, and he has waited for three years, it can be seen that he is really interested in him. Mrs. Chengenhou has watched Chu Liuchen grow up, and knows that this cold-hearted and unfeeling person, But if it really enters his heart, I'm afraid no one can replace it.

At the moment, it seems that Princess Chen is indeed outstanding, not only in appearance, but also in behavior.

I heard that she had been raised in the Qin Mansion since she was a child, and her life was not very good. It was just that she was not brought up by her biological mother. The adoptive mother had always wanted to plot against her. In this case, the appearance and behavior in front of her were different from those of ordinary ladies raised by aristocratic families. Not bad, even more decent in some aspects.

She is worthy of her status as Princess Chen.

The three of them sat down in the flower hall, respectively. The eldest princess of Ruian was sitting in the host and guest seats. Shao Wanru and the young lady Chengen Hou were accompanying them on both sides.

"How come the eldest princess is free to come here today?" The madam put down the tea cup in her hand and asked with a smile.

"It's nothing major. It's just a matter of the Queen Mother's birthday. I want to ask you what good things have been prepared in your house and let me refer to it!" Princess Ruian also put down the tea cup and said with a smile.

Shao Wanru had discussed this with Princess Ruian on the way here.

"In fact, we don't have much prepared in our house. The Marquis brought some back before and we are still selecting them." Mrs. Chengenhou said with a smile.

In the past few days, I have been bringing things to the house almost every day. I said I wanted to choose something, but I couldn't decide at the moment. Instead, a lot of things were poured into the house, almost every day.

At first, Mrs. Chengenhou was still concerned about checking each item, but then she became numb and just gave the money to the boy to pay the bill. Seeing that the money in her hand was so much less, Mrs. Chengenhou also told Chengenhou , let him buy it if he likes it, don’t buy anything good or bad, just buy them all.

"If the eldest princess wants to see it, I will let you have a look at the things that our Lord has bought in the past few days. Even if they are not necessarily good, what our Lord and Queen Mother likes may not necessarily like them either." .”

Mrs. Chengenhou said again, while instructing the mother-in-law behind to take out all the things that the Marquis had brought over in the past few days.

The mother-in-law took a few people to Chengenhou's study, and soon a lot of things were moved there.

There are rows of brocade boxes on top of each other on the table, with scrolls of calligraphy and paintings behind them.

"Why are there so many?" Princess Ruian's eyes widened in surprise. Looking at the table full of objects, she gasped for a moment, "Do you... plan to give them all away?"

"How could it be!" Mrs. Cheng'enhou said with a bitter smile, "Our Lord Marquis is just an ignorant person. If he sees something he likes, he will rush to the house. If he thinks he likes it, the Queen Mother must also like it. But every time he sees something new, When I bought the item, I thought it was better than the previous one. After being fooled for a few times, I felt that this was the best, and then I bought it again.”

Mrs. Chengenhou has mentioned this temperament of Marquis Chengen so many times. However, Marquis Chengen is a good old man. He listens to whatever is said in person, but his ears are soft. When someone said it differently the next day, he felt that it was actually like that. That's right, he turned a deaf ear to Mrs. Chengenhou's words.

Shao Wanru stood up curiously, walked to the table, turned around and looked up and asked, "Mrs. Chengenhou, can I take a look?"

"Princess Chen, please excuse me!" Mrs. Chengenhou waved her hand. Her eyes were very sharp and she could tell that this time Princess Ruian came here and she was mainly accompanied by Princess Chen.

When Princess Chen got married, she wanted to please the Queen Mother, so she went to her house to ask about her gifts in order to find out the Queen Mother's preferences. She also put a lot of thought into it. Mrs. Cheng'enhou was very fond of Shao Wanru, Princess Chen. I appreciate it very much, and I won’t hide anything. The Queen Mother has always liked Prince Chen, so the Chengenhou Mansion is naturally good to the people in Prince Chen’s Mansion, not to mention that Shao Wanru is also very in line with Mrs. Chengenhou’s wishes.

"Princess Chen, please look, this is a jade stone." Young Madam Chengenhou came over, opened a brocade box, and sent it to Shao Wanru, saying.

Shao Wanru looked at it and saw a piece of red jade, which looked quite beautiful.

"This is a pair of jade bracelets." Young Madam Chengenhou opened another one. This time it was a pair of blood jade bracelets, exquisite and gorgeous.

"This is a jade pendant."

The blood jade ornaments have a simple shape, and you can tell at a glance that they are treasures from the previous generation.

"This is a ruby. It was cut out of the original stone and has not yet been made into an object, but it can be matched with any gold jewelry!"

"This is a tea set made of blood-red cinnabar."

"These are pink pearls, one hundred and one. They just happen to be made into Buddhist beads, which will bring peace of mind and peace of mind."

"This is red..."...

Opening the brocade boxes one by one, looking at the treasures that were either red or pink, not only Shao Wanru was stunned, but also the eldest princess Ruian was stunned.

"I know that the Queen Mother likes festive colors, but she didn't say she likes them to this extent!" Princess Ruian blinked and asked tentatively.

She really didn't know that the Queen Mother had such a persistent love for the color red. Could it be that she had really overlooked something? After being a sister-in-law with the Queen Mother for so many years, I really haven't discovered this.

Mrs. Chengenhou smiled bitterly: "The Queen Mother likes it. In fact, it is because our Lord Marquis likes it. It is said that the Queen Mother also likes it. It is said that the Queen Mother has liked this kind of red jewelry since she was early, so she prepared all these. In fact, After all these years, the Queen Mother still likes her, but it’s not that strong. Only our masters who are confused can always think that the Queen Mother just likes her!"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Chengenhou really felt helpless. She had said and tried to persuade her, but Chengenhou just felt that way and refused to listen. The Queen Mother is now the Queen Mother, so there is no need for her to do so. As before, she used bright red to highlight her status as the queen of the family, but her husband would not listen to anything on this point.
