Chapter 530: Visitors From the Palace

The next day, the Qi Wang Mansion held a banquet. At dusk, Xiao Xuan got his wish and married Shen Qingluan.

During the wedding ceremony, the prince and the princess sat at the top, and Concubine Lin sat below the princess.

The princess looked coldly at Xiao Xuan and Shen Qingluan as they kowtowed to her.

Shen Qingluan was wearing a red brocade wedding dress, with two golden phoenixes embroidered on the red veil on her head, and countless pearls on the veil.

When she walked, a part of the embroidered shoe tip was exposed, and the shoe tip was decorated with rubies as big as longan.

The princess looked at this luxurious outfit and felt unhappy.

After the ceremony, Shen Qingluan was helped to the bridal chamber, and the princess got up impatiently.

At the next banquet, the princess only showed up once and then returned to her own courtyard.

Since Shen Qingluan had already entered the house, she had to start the marriage of Yu'er as soon as possible.

After discussing with Aunt Xu for a while, she decided to send her to the Gu family to find out the situation tomorrow.

After getting the confirmation, ask the matchmaker to come.

Early in the morning, Madam Xu took a carriage out of the South City Gate and arrived outside the Gu family soon.

The little maid helped Madam Xu get off the carriage. Liu Zhu, who was guarding the door, saw a magnificent carriage parked at the door, and then a madam dressed in silk came down. He knew that this might be from some noble family.

He used to be a servant in the salt transport envoy's house, and he had some good sense. He hurried to greet her, "I wonder who is here, Madam..."

Madam Xu just smiled, and the little maid next to her said, "This is Madam Xu, who is with the princess of the Prince of Qi's mansion, and she is here to visit your mistress."

Liu Zhu's legs softened, "Madam, wait a moment, I will go and report to the mistress."

Liu Zhu ran to the second gate like a fly. There were no rules in the Gu family, and there were no maids guarding the second gate.

He couldn't shout, so he had to grit his teeth and ran in. When he ran to the main hall, he saw Chen, Lanzhi and Li Chunhua doing needlework in the main hall.

He hurriedly said, "Madam, Nanny Xu from the Princess of Prince Qi's Mansion is here and is outside the door."

Chen was puzzled, "Prince Qi's Mansion? Why would someone from the palace come to my house?"

Lanzhi had been to Prince Qi's Mansion before, and she had some idea in her mind. She guessed that it was still about Xiao Fei and the prince, but she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

But no matter good or bad, she had to welcome the person in quickly.

She stood up and glanced at Chen. Although Chen had made a few silk clothes, she was reluctant to wear them at home and would only change them when she went out to meet guests.

At the moment, Chen was wearing a green cloth jacket and her head was bald.

This looked too unbecoming.

Lanzhi quickly turned around and looked at Aunt Qin next to her, "Go and welcome Aunt Xu in, and greet her in the hall of the front yard."

After giving the order, she pulled Chen into the house, "Mother, change your clothes quickly."

Li Chunhua didn't know what happened, so she followed her into the house. Lanzhi called her, "Sister-in-law, quickly take out my gold hairpins." While saying this, she called Fang'er to get Chen's clothes, and helped Chen take off her clothes herself.

Chen was nervous by Lanzhi's series of actions, "Lanzhi, do you know what happened? Why did the maid from the palace come to our house?"

As she spoke, Chen had already taken off her outer coat. Lanzhi helped her put on her clothes and said, "Mother, I don't know either. We'll know when we go out."

Lanzhi helped Chen change into a maroon brocade coat, and took the gold hairpins from Li Chunhua's hand and inserted two of them into Chen's head.

Then he and Fang'er helped Chen to the front yard.
