Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

I don't like women, these four words are used a bit playfully. Chen Afu lowered his head and looked at his toes.

The Seventh Prince Li Zeyin said, General Chu, I really like this little lady next to you, and I hope General Chu can part with her. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer, and will give you four more stunning beauties.

Chu Lingxuan's face darkened, he clasped his fists and said loudly, Prince Rui, please be careful what you say. She is my married wife, Mr. Chu, and she cannot allow others to bully her like this.

These words made the second prince and the seventh prince stunned. The second prince smiled and said, My unmarried wife! Where do you start talking about this? Then he pointed at Chen Afu and said, Tell me, who is your name? Who is General Chu?

Chen Afu lowered his head, bent his knees, and said softly, My daughter, Chen Afu, is Mr. Chu's unmarried wife.

After hearing this, the second prince still didn't quite believe it. Then he said to Chu Lingxuan, Before coming to Dingzhou, my highness met with Rong Zhao and specifically asked you if you were engaged. Thinking that we are all relatives, if General Chu gets engaged, my highness will also send gifts to congratulate you. But. , Rong Zhao said that you were not engaged, how could you suddenly have an unmarried wife now? You couldn't have been engaged privately before your mother knew about it. If you hire a wife and become a concubine, you can still say that she is your wife ?

Chen Afu's heart sank, wondering how Chu Lingxuan would answer. Let her be my concubine unless she dies.

Chu Lingxuan said, The Second Highness has misunderstood. Miss Chen and I are not engaged in private. Miss Chen was betrothed to me by his father, Mr. Chen Shiying. He took off a jade pendant from his waist, held it in his hand, and continued, This is a gift from Master Chen. Also, my biological mother, although she has become a nun and does not care about worldly affairs. But I still went to the nunnery to tell her about it, and she also gave her a gift. In the early years, I gave the fur coat to Miss Chen. I also wrote to my grandfather to ask for his opinion. He wrote back and agreed to our marriage, but he didn’t tell Princess Rongzhao and my father, but I don’t know. His father and My third aunt will come to Dingzhou tomorrow just for this matter. Therefore, our marriage was decided by the elders, not privately. She is my fiancée.

The second prince was very unhappy that Chu Lingxuan dared to bring out his biological mother, but the words Chen Shiying attracted him even more. Pulling the corners of his lips, he said, She is Mr. Chen's daughter?

Yes. Chu Lingxuan replied.

The second prince said to Chen Afu again, Miss Chen, raise your head.

Chen Afu raised his head.

When the second prince took a look, he indeed looked exactly like Chen Shiying. He said, She is a pretty young lady, who looks like Master Chen. No wonder the Seventh Emperor came to ask for it in such a hurry. Seeing Chu Lingxuan staring at him and about to speak, he quickly said, It was a slip of the tongue by His Highness. General Chu, please don't be angry. . However, Miss Chen should go back to her home when she encounters trouble, so why did he go to her fiancé’s door? Haha, General Chu, is your little fiancée a little too frivolous?

When Chu Lingxuan was about to defend himself, he saw Chu Huai come in and report that Mr. Chen Shiying was here and waiting outside the hall.

Chu Lingxuan was stunned. After learning about this, he sent someone to send a letter to Chen Shiying to prepare him mentally, but he did not expect that he would come here in person. It would be best if he could come. He clasped his fists and said, Master Chen is here. He has more say in some matters than the lower officials.

The second prince said, Please come in, Mr. Chen.

After Chen Shiying came in, he cupped his fists and saluted, I see you, Your Highness, and Prince Rui.

The second prince pointed at Chen Afu and asked, Master Chen, is this young lady your daughter?

Chen Shiying raised his head and glanced at Chen Afu, clasped his fists and said, Yes, it's my little girl Afu.

The seventh prince asked again, I heard from General Chu that you have promised her to General Chu?

Chen Shiying said, Yes, I liked General Chu's character, so I betrothed my daughter Ah Fu to him.

The second prince sneered and said, Mr. Chen, the family tradition in your house is worrying. A young girl came to her fiancé's house privately and stayed there until it was dark and didn't go back. It's really against the morals.

Chu Lingxuan heard that he was slandering Chen Afu and quit. He said loudly, Your Highness, you can't say that to Miss Chen. The reason why he panicked and chose no other way out was because he had no choice but to do so. If she had left my general's residence before, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to stand here and reply properly.

The second prince said, She could go back to her own home in the Chen Mansion, but why did she come here?

Chen Shiying wiped his sweat, glanced at Chen Afu with pity, and said, Your Highness, Prince, Afu is a good girl. The reason why she did this is my fault. Because she has never looked back after she has grown up. Chen Mansion has never returned to her own home. After saying this, her voice was choked up.

The second prince and the seventh prince were confused by these words, and they asked in unison, What do you mean, Mr. Chen?

Chen Shiying wiped the sweat from his forehead again, clasped his fists and said, Xia Guan is ashamed because she is Xi Guan's illegitimate daughter. Xi Guan brought her to Dingzhou and was preparing to take her into the mansion and let her recognize her ancestors and return to the clan. , who would have thought that something like this would happen. However, now that the official is here to take her home, she will not stay here any longer. Therefore, Ah Fu is a gentle and virtuous good girl, and His Highness cannot say that to her. .”

The second prince didn't expect it to be like this. He shook his head and laughed, This Miss Chen is not only the daughter of the magistrate, but also the illegitimate daughter of the magistrate. General Chu was born in the Marquis Mansion, and is the son of Yong'an Marquis. A general who now lives in the third rank wants to marry her! A graceful lady, a gentleman loves to marry. General Chu has never married since his late wife passed away. It turns out that he likes beauties. Tsk tsk, it is extremely difficult for a hero to be separated from a beauty. I believe that this marriage will definitely become a rare good story in this dynasty. .”

The seventh prince was also happy. Although he was extremely reluctant to part with this beauty, he knew that he would definitely not be able to get her. Said, This king knows that General Chu is still an infatuated person. I admire him, I admire him.

Chu Lingxuan said seriously, In Chu's eyes, Miss Chen is not only beautiful, but also intelligent and virtuous. It is a great blessing in my life that I, Chu Lingxuan, can marry her.

The second prince was happy for a long time and then said, Yes, in order to fulfill General Chu's infatuation, my highness is also willing to bear witness to this good relationship. Then he frowned and said to Chen Shiying, Master Chen is unparalleled in his handsomeness and talent. , it’s normal for the young lady to like you. However, since they already have your daughter, it’s better to take her into the palace and place her properly. You can’t let Miss Chen marry General Chu and Crown Prince Chu under the title of illegitimate daughter. Right? No matter what, General Chu is still my imperial sister’s stepson.”
