Chapter 263 The Family Just Wants to Be Tidy

Xie Shuangge spent a lot of time choosing the clothes to wear to the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and then simply made a new set.

Both the top and bottom are light peach pink, which looks fresh but not too eye-catching. With the white fox fur on the collar, the whole person looks gentle and lovely.

Xie Shuangge looked in the mirror, and waved to Qingtao: "Change the bun too, don't comb it so high, make it shorter."

"The princess is so caring, Master Hou must be very happy to know." Qingtao smiled and untied her bun, and tied it up again, "What jewelry does the princess want to wear?"

Xie Shuangge glanced at the jewelry on the table, and finally picked out a few jade hairpins and flower buds, and replaced them with matching white jade earrings, which are gentle and delicate.

As soon as she got up, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and then a fox fur cloak was placed on her shoulders.

She wanted to turn her head, but she was gently pressed against the side of her face, "Don't move, I'll tie the belt for you."

Xie Shuangge stopped moving.

She lowered her eyes and happened to see her own neck in the bronze mirror.

A big hand stretched out from behind, gently pinched the silver belt hanging in front of the body, and then slowly tied it across the front of the neck.

Xie Shuangge raised her head slightly, her white and slender neck formed a sharp contrast with her big hands, which were darker in color, and the raised veins on the back of her hands made her look extremely powerful.

"All right."

After tying a beautiful knot, Chu Wuhen held Xie Shuangge's hand, "Let's go, the carriage is ready."

Xie Shuangge's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and said in a low voice, "Okay."

……

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, and the coachman said, "Your Majesty, Princess, we're here."

Xie Shuangge lifted the curtain and took a peek outside, stunned for a moment, "Why did you get to the main entrance, didn't you say it was secretly? Wouldn't someone see you when you walked through the main entrance?"

Chu Wuhen took her hand, "Don't worry, everyone is busy celebrating the New Year, no one pays attention to us, we just need to hurry up."

"But..." Xie Shuangge was a little hesitant. There was a lot of people outside, firecrackers bursting, and people joking and joking passed by the carriage from time to time. How could no one see them when they walked out so big?
Chu Wuhen turned his head to look at her, his eyes were sincere, "But this is the first time I brought the princess home, how can I let the princess go astray at such an important time?"

He leaned over and pecked Xie Shuangge's lips lightly, but his breath was hot.

"My princess, it's time to go open and frank."

Xie Shuangge's heart softened, she had nothing to say, she let Chu Wuhen hold her hand and help her get off the carriage.

There were two big red lanterns hanging at the gate of the Zhen Guogong Mansion, and the stone lions were tied with red silk, looking very festive, and there were two guards standing at the gate, who immediately wanted to salute when they saw them, Chu Wuhen gave them a look, they He stood back obediently.

The rich door opened, and everything seemed to be as usual.

Xie Shuangge breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no family stood at the door to greet her, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

However, as soon as she turned around the screen wall, she met a row of bright eyes.

Xie Shuangge gasped in fright: "..."

Chu Wuhen: "..."

No one told him there was such a thing?

So it wasn't that he didn't come out to greet him, but he just hid behind the screen wall.

This is really... a surprise.

Xie Shuangge smiled at them with lingering fear, "Duke Zhen, Mrs. Wu, old lady, son, this is..."

Her eyes fell on the woman on the right side of the old lady, and she paused, "Is it the general's wife?"

"It's normal for the princess not to remember the concubine. The concubine got married early and settled in the border with her husband. She only returns once every few years. The princess naturally has no impression of the concubine."

Xie Shuangge sized her up a few times, but she didn't notice at first glance just now, but after a long time, she found that she and Chu Wuhen were somewhat similar. This was Du Qingruo's sister——Du Qinglan.

The one next to her is her husband, the mighty general Peng Zhen, and standing behind him is their only son, Peng Duo - Chu Wuhen's cousin.

"I will meet Princess Jianing at the end."

"I will see the princess at the end."

The father and son saluted Xie Shuangge together, but the face that seemed to be carved out of the same mold showed completely different expressions.

Peng Zhen looks more calm and honest, while Peng Duo appears reserved and indifferent.

Xie Shuangge hurriedly said: "No courtesy, everyone gathered here tonight is a family, there is no need to be formal."

She was a little embarrassed when she said this, and her face turned red after a while.

Is it too shameless for her to say that she is a family before she is married?
She turned her head and blinked at Chu Wuhen, Chu Wuhen smiled and took a step forward to hold her hand, and clasped her fingers in front of everyone, "Uncle, aunt, grandmother, uncle and aunt, two cousins , Huai Shu brought his sweetheart back today to show you."

"Okay, okay, now our family is really reunited, let's go in and talk."

The old lady is in good spirits when there are happy events, the corners of her mouth never go down, and she walks fast on crutches.

Xie Shuangge said enviously: "The old lady is in good health. It would be great if the imperial grandmother was half as strong as the old lady."

"She doesn't like to move around usually. Isn't she happy to hear that the princess is here?"

Wu shi laughed and joked.

Xie Shuangge's face turned hot, and she squeezed Chu Wuhen's fingers embarrassedly, and said in a low voice, "Then I will come here often in the future, will the old lady prolong her life?"

"Hahahahaha——The princess is blessed with golden branches and jade leaves, and with the blessing of the gods, she may really live a few more years."

The old lady laughed heartily, and the whole family walked together, lively and very warm.

But they didn't hold onto Xie Shuangge and kept asking. The old lady and Mrs. Wu asked Second Lady and General Peng about the border from time to time.

After talking and laughing, everyone arrived at the main hall, where the Eight Immortals table was already prepared, waiting for them to come.

"Come on, let's all sit down, let's chat while eating." The old lady intentionally let Xie Shuangge take the main seat, Xie Shuangge declined several times, and finally sat down by the old lady.

Seeing this scene, Wu's and the others exchanged satisfied glances calmly.

Although they belong to a powerful family, they are going to marry Princess Jianing, whom His Majesty loves the most. They are somewhat uneasy, fearing that the other party will be too arrogant and ignorant, and won't get along with the family. There is a dilemma.

Seeing her today, Xie Shuangge has no airs in front of them, and she still considers herself a junior, which made them feel at ease. Looking at her words and deeds, they knew that she was pure and straightforward, so they were completely at ease.

When the old lady gave an order, the maids rushed in, and the table of the Eight Immortals was immediately filled with delicious food and wine.

"Can the princess drink alcohol? This is the winter cold I brought from the border, it's very strong."

Du Qinglan picked up the jug and looked at Xie Shuangge with a smile.

Xie Shuangge happily passed the bowl over, "Come on!"
