Chapter 222 Raw Melon
Chapter 222 Raw Melon
The eldest princess chatted with Lu Chenshuang for a while, and they inadvertently mentioned the queen and sighed.
The queen has always appeared virtuous and generous to the outside world. Who would have thought that she had such vicious thoughts behind the scenes?
The princess sighed and said, "No matter what, you were wronged this time, and the emperor's deposing the queen can be regarded as revenge for you.
I hope that you can live a good life with Laojiu in the future.
I was the one who brought him up, so I know his character best. Over the years, I have never seen him fall in love with anyone, but once he falls in love, he will definitely set his sights on you.
He has a rather cold personality and is not good at speaking. If you are wronged by him in the future, you must tell me and I will help you deal with him."
Is Mu Hansu cold-hearted? It seems that he is indeed a little cold towards outsiders, but he seems to be no different from a normal person towards her, and sometimes he can even be shameless.
But the princess's kindness made Lu Chenshuang smile and say, "Thank you for supporting me, princess. Don't worry, if he bullies me in the future, I will definitely complain to you."
The princess nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "Oh, by the way, my mother has been talking about you these days, so when you have time, go and pay your respects to her, so that she can feel at ease.
You don't have to be embarrassed. This ugly daughter-in-law will have to meet her parents-in-law. You know that the queen mother has always liked you."
Logically, Lu Chenshuang should have felt shy after hearing what the princess said, but she really couldn't pretend.
I could only smile and reply, "I don't like what the princess said.
I may not be stunningly beautiful, but I’m not ugly either.”
The princess laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "I said the wrong thing. How could I like you if you were Ugly No. 9?
Your appearance is in line with our family's aesthetic standards."
The eldest princess's last words were meaningful, but Lu Chenshuang didn't take them to heart.
But it is indeed time for her to go to the palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.
When the empress dowager learned that she was injured, she was extremely worried and gave her many good things to calm her down. Even in normal times, the empress dowager was very kind to her.
It's just that she entered the palace as a doctor to accompany the Queen Mother before, and now she enters the palace as a future daughter-in-law. I don't know if the Queen Mother's attitude towards her will change.
I heard that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, just like her and the lady-in-law of Marquis Jingyang's mansion, don't they just hate each other?
Thinking of this, Lu Chenshuang suddenly felt a little pressured.
The princess didn't stay here for too long, someone came outside to say that Duke Rong was here to pick her up, so she left reluctantly.
Mu Hansu came again that night.
This was the first time the two had met since the emperor granted them marriage.
When Lu Chenshuang faced him, she suddenly didn't know what to say. Should she blame him for not informing her in advance before asking for an imperial decree to grant the marriage, or complain that he didn't dare to appear in front of her for several days.
Mu Hansu looked like nothing had happened. He looked at Lu Chenshuang and said, "I've been busy these days and haven't had time to see you. Are your injuries healed?"
Lu Chenshuang nodded and said, "This minor injury has long been healed, but I was annoyed by the coming and going of people in the mansion recently, so I claimed to be sick.
What have you been busy with lately?
Mu Hansu smiled upon hearing this and said, “Of course I’m preparing the betrothal gifts.
Although our marriage was arranged by my brother the Emperor, I still want to prepare according to folk customs.
Once the Ministry of Rites chooses a good date, I will invite a few respected members of the royal family to propose marriage.
If it really doesn't work, I can ask my mother to come in person."
Lu Chenshuang was still very touched by his kindness, but since it was her second marriage, it would be better not to make a big fuss about it.
Although she is not afraid of rumors, she is afraid that others cannot bear it.
So Lu Chenshuang said, "Forget about the Queen Mother. Firstly, it's against the rules, and secondly, it's better not to trouble her.
In fact, marriage is a matter between two people. The emperor has already granted the marriage, so I don’t think it’s necessary to be so grand.”
Lu Chenshuang had good intentions, but who knew that these words would actually make Mu Hansu unhappy.
He looked at Lu Chenshuang and said, "Are you angry that I asked my brother to grant you a marriage without discussing this with you in advance?
But I can't wait any longer. I don't want people to think that I can be manipulated at will.
I want to tell everyone in the world that I am behind you. With my support, no one can touch you at will!"
Mu Hansu was really scared. He was afraid that there were other people as blind as the queen and thought that Lu Chenshuang could be manipulated at will.
So he did not bother to discuss it with Lu Chenshuang and asked the emperor for permission to marry him, even though Lu Chenshuang was probably not ready to marry him yet.
But what can he do? She will be his sooner or later. He just wants to marry her home earlier so that no one will worry about her.
Mu Hansu would never admit that this last concern was the reason why he couldn't wait to ask the emperor for permission to marry him.
Lu Chenshuang sighed. Why did it seem like it was her fault now?
She had to speak up and say, "I'm going to get married sooner or later anyway, it doesn't make any difference if it's earlier or later.
But you know this is my second marriage after all, and I’m afraid of gossip.”
This statement actually pleased Mu Hansu, because Lu Chenshuang's words that she would get married sooner or later coincided with his thoughts, which also showed that Lu Chenshuang had him in her heart.
But he didn't like what was said next, he turned Lu Chenshuang's shoulders so that she was facing him, and then said seriously: "Lu Chenshuang, listen carefully.
When I, Mu Hansu, married you, I never cared how many marriages you had. I only cared about you as a person.
I just want everyone in the world to know that you are the apple of my eye. Anyone who dares to gossip about you is an enemy of me, Mu Hansu.
I want to give you the most magnificent wedding and let everyone know that you deserve the best."
Mu Hansu's words made Lu Chenshuang's heart warm. It was hard for her not to be moved by such an affectionate man.
The key is that he looks like a monster.
At this moment, Lu Chenshuang could no longer hold back. She pulled Mu Hansu by the collar and kissed him.
In all the time they had known each other, they had only held hands and hugged each other.
Lu Chenshuang had wanted to do this for a long time, but Mu Hansu was not proactive.
When Lu Chenshuang's lips touched Mu Hansu's lips, Mu Hansu felt his brain go blank.
It was as if millions of colorful fireworks exploded, and yet it was as if there was nothing at all, leaving only the softness of the lips.
He really didn't expect kissing to be such a wonderful thing. If he had known the experience was so good, he would have done it a long time ago.
Seeing Mu Hansu's dazed look and no reaction, Lu Chenshuang lamented in her heart that maybe her kissing skills were not good enough.
But I didn't expect that Mu Hansu was also a greenhorn.
Forget it, I'll just treat it as a practice today.
When Lu Chenshuang was about to move away, Mu Hansu suddenly hugged her and deepened the kiss.
Lu Chenshuang was the one who forgot to react for a moment. She didn't know how long it took, but when she felt like she was almost out of breath, Mu Hansu let her go.
