Chapter 426 Recruitment
No one noticed that Hua Feixue could hear the conversation between the two people clearly through the wall.
The dog prince is impotent?
Could it be that Luo Jingshen was frightened to death by the explosives he threw last night?
When Hua Feixue thought of this, she wanted to laugh.
God has a vision. His unintentional action turned into a nightmare for Luo Jingshen and Ji Qingqing.
These two people don’t know how to face each other later?
He is really looking forward to it more and more!
Meng's guess turned out to be correct. After half an hour, a servant came to report excitedly.
"Madam, Second Miss, the Crown Prince's betrothal team is here!"
Ji Qingqing stood up from her trance and immediately asked in surprise: "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here too?"
"Here he comes. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wearing a dark red brocade robe today and riding on a white horse. He looks so handsome. I guess he will be at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion soon!"
Ji Qingqing curled her lips into a smile, a smug glow on her face.
"Great, I'm glad he's here."
"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been cured and is no longer angry with me?"
Ji Qingqing thought so in her heart, but she kept walking towards the door of the Marquis' Mansion.
She was wearing an emerald cloud-like dress today, with pearl hairpins and rings on her head, and delicate makeup on her face to cover up the slap marks. She looked radiant and dazzling.
Ji Nanchuan, Meng and the three young masters were also dressed in gorgeous clothes. They stood at the door and kept greeting the guests coming and going.
The prince submitted the betrothal gift and sent off the good news. Logically, the marquis's mansion only needed to hold a banquet at home to entertain the prince alone.
But for the sake of face, Ji Nanchuan still invited many ministers to come and watch the ceremony and attend the banquet together.
Firstly, he wanted to let others see how much His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values their Yongning Marquisate.
Secondly, he also wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with some dignitaries so as to pave the way for his sons in the future.
If I could take this opportunity today to find a rich lady for each of my three sons, that would be perfect!
When Luo Jingshen came, he also attracted a lot of attention. The hundreds-meter-long betrothal procession, carrying hundreds of mahogany boxes, walked through the streets and alleys, winning wave after wave of congratulations.
He dismounted from his horse, and Ji Nanchuan and other officials hurried forward, kneeling down and kowtowed to the prince.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness, may His Royal Highness be blessed."
"Everyone, get up!" Luo Jingshen glanced at everyone and raised his hand slightly, "Today is the day I propose to Miss Ji Er, so please don't be too reserved."
Ji Qingqing shyly stepped forward and wanted to talk to Luo Jingshen, but he avoided her directly without even looking at her.
"Come here, bring all the 120 loads of betrothal gifts into the Marquis's mansion."
Ji Nanchuan didn't notice anything wrong. Looking at the guards carrying the betrothal gifts inside, he couldn't stop smiling.
It seems that he did not choose the wrong person. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really loves Qingqing, so he is so generous.
The Rongguo Mansion only gave the Ninth Princess a hundred pallets, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave Ji Qingqing a hundred and twenty pallets. In comparison, Qingqing from their family has more face.
Qiu Min, who was not far away, watched this scene and her eyes turned red with jealousy!
Ji Qingqing, why is she so lucky?
Is it really true that she is the only one who can be the Crown Princess?
She is so unwilling!
Ji Nanchuan's face was full of smiles. He turned aside and made a "please" gesture to Luo Jingshen.
"Your Highness, I have already prepared a banquet. Please come in."
Luo Jingshen strode in, and Ji Qingqing followed closely behind him. She didn't dare let anyone know that there was something wrong between her and the prince.
But how could these escape Qiu Min's eyes?
She frowned slightly. Why did she feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't want to pay attention to Ji Qingqing?
What happened between them that she didn't know about?
The banquet in the front yard was very lively, and at this moment in the backyard.
Wu Jinxi and Chen Huaxiu were each locked in a storage room. Meng was afraid that they would come out and talk nonsense and ruin Ji Qingqing's good deeds, so she locked them up and locked the door from the outside.
However, due to the large number of guests in the mansion and the lack of manpower, Wu Shijie was arranged to continue guarding the gate in the front yard. However, he was fed a mute drug by Meng and could not make any sound or speak.
Wu Chaoyang continued to take classes with the teacher in the side courtyard.
At this moment, a strong aroma of wine wafted into Wu Jinxi's nose. He sniffed hard, and his appetite was instantly aroused.
"I really want to drink, even just a sip."
He has no hobbies except for drinking. When he was in the small mountain village, he could not live without alcohol. Any penny he had would be used to buy alcohol outside.
Now that I'm in Beijing, I don't feel as comfortable and have fewer opportunities to drink.
Wu Jinxi was so greedy that he could only lie on the door and sniff hard a few times to relieve his craving for alcohol.
Just then, the sound of unlocking a door was heard, and a hand reached in from outside and handed Wu Jinxi a food box.
"There is a happy event in the mansion today. The Second Miss is very happy and has ordered the whole mansion to celebrate together. This is the delicious food and fine wine she specially gave to you for you to enjoy."
When Wu Jinxi heard the words "fine wine", his eyes lit up!
He quickly took the food box and thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you, Second Miss. Thank you, Second Miss."
It seems that even though Yueyue in their family is harsh in words, she still thinks of him as her father in her heart!
Knowing that he liked to drink, he sent someone to deliver some wine to him.
He could smell the fragrance even through the food box.
Wu Jinxi hurriedly opened the food box, put out three dishes, picked up the wine jug and started pouring wine into his mouth.
He praised while drinking, "It's worthy of being a wine only available in the capital. I've never tasted such good wine!"
Hua Feixue stood outside the door, with a hint of success on her lips.
This wine was given by Ji Yuntang. It has a high concentration and makes people more easily drunk. Of course it’s good!
He threw away the key and did not lock the door again. Instead, he went directly to where Chen Huaxiu was imprisoned.
Chen Huaxiu was already drowsy in the room when suddenly two voices, one male and one female, came into her ears.
The female voice said: "Have you heard? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a betrothal gift of 120 pieces to the Second Miss today. Each box is filled with gold, silver, jewelry, clothes and jewelry. The Second Miss's yard is almost full of them!"
The man whispered, "Not only did I hear about it, I also saw it. Those jewels are so beautiful. Especially the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave the Second Miss a complete set of gold-inlaid jade bracelets and a jade headdress."
"Tsk tsk, it's so gorgeous! If I could have one, I could buy a house outside and never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life. Who would want to be a servant here?"
