Chapter 614: The plan is well calculated and cannot be refused
The palace maid Susu came in with two other palace maids who did the rough work.
Chang Ru was a little shy at first and pretended not to wake up. But when she heard footsteps, she remembered the strict palace rules and quickly sat up.
The fourth prince looked back at Chang Ru and said to her with a smile, "Awake?"
Chang Ru's face flushed and she nodded.
The Fourth Prince walked towards her, sat beside the bed, and held her hand.
"I didn't want to wake you up. You were exhausted last night and should get some more sleep. However, we need to go pay our respects to the Queen Mother."
"I'm fine. It's more important to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. Don't waste time." Chang Ru said as she was about to get out of bed.
"Okay, I'll call someone in to serve." The fourth prince turned and called outside, "Come in."
The palace maid Susu came in with two servants.
"This servant pays respects to the master."
"This is Susu, the chief maid in my palace. She takes care of all the affairs in the palace." The Fourth Prince pointed at Susu and said.
"Yeah." Chang Ru nodded.
When I saw Susu's face, I couldn't help but clench my hands.
She felt a little uncomfortable that the Fourth Prince had such a beautiful maid by his side.
"Susu, from now on, there will be the Fourth Prince's Consort in the palace. You must respect her as much as you respect me. No one in the palace, from top to bottom, must neglect her. Do you understand?" The Fourth Prince instructed Susu.
"Yes." Su Su responded immediately with a very respectful attitude.
Susu's attitude made Chang Ru secretly relieved.
Apparently, he's an honest guy.
The Fourth Prince stood up and walked behind the screen. Su Su immediately followed him and helped him change his clothes.
The other two palace maids who did the rough work went to serve Chang Ru.
Chang Ru looked towards the screen from time to time and could vaguely see the figures of the Fourth Prince and Su Su.
Susu was straightening the Fourth Prince's clothes. The collar at the back was a little crooked, so Susu reached out her hand to help him straighten it. From Chang Ru's perspective, it looked like Susu was throwing herself into the Fourth Prince's arms with her arms around his neck.
The Fourth Prince looked down at Su Su with a hint of smile in his eyes, and did not think there was anything wrong with Su Su's behavior.
After all, this is how they usually change clothes.
But because of Chang Ru's presence, the Fourth Prince placed his hands neatly on both sides of his body.
The people brought by Chang Ru were placed elsewhere. According to the rules of the palace, they had to learn the rules for two days before they could serve their master.
Chang Ru thought secretly that everything would be fine in two days, and she would let her maid take care of the personal service.
As for Su Su, she still cannot be allowed to get too close to the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince and Chang Ru were both dressed neatly and walked side by side towards the Empress Dowager's palace.
In order to shut the Queen up, the Queen Mother summoned the Queen and all the concubines in the harem to her palace, even Qin Yumo was included.
When the Fourth Prince and Chang Ru arrived, the Empress Dowager's palace was already full of people.
"What a perfect couple." Someone in the crowd praised.
A smile suddenly appeared on the Queen Mother's face.
Immediately, the compliments began to increase.
"The two newlyweds are a perfect match made in heaven."
"Yeah yeah."
The Queen sat next to the Queen Mother with no expression on her face.
The emotions in my heart are like a turmoil in the sea.
The women in the harem thought that the Third Prince was injured and might become a disabled person in the future, so they all turned to the Queen Mother and placed their hopes on the Fourth Prince.
If the harem was like this, let alone the previous dynasty.
She had no choice but to use the method Ji Chuhe mentioned.
"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the ladies in the palace." Chang Ru knelt down and saluted.
Although she was a concubine's daughter raised in the county town, her posture when performing a salute was perfect and there was nothing wrong with it.
Seeing Chang Ru like this, the Fourth Prince felt more relieved and had a better impression of her.
He was lucky enough to survive.
"Get up." The Queen Mother raised her hand, "Someone, bring me my reward."
The nanny immediately had it brought down.
On the tray was a set of gold and turquoise jewelry, a hairpin, a necklace, and two earrings.
"This is what my mother prepared for me when I entered the palace. Now, I give it to you."
Chang Ru was immediately flattered and knelt down again, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward."
"I have also prepared rewards for the Fourth Prince's wife." The Queen's voice suddenly sounded.
The maid in her palace immediately brought the things up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chang Ru hurriedly expressed her gratitude.
Then, some queens of higher rank also gave some rewards, and those of lower rank gave some gifts.
When Chang Ru and the Fourth Prince left the Empress Dowager's Palace, the palace servants carried two large boxes.
As soon as they entered the palace gate of their bedroom, Susu came to greet them.
"Your Highness, Xiao Linzi just said that there is a cart of gifts outside the palace gate. I wonder who sent it to Your Highness."
"No gift book?"
"I didn't see it." Susu shook her head.
"Chang Ru, go back to the palace and rest first. I'll go take a look." The Fourth Prince said this and turned to leave.
Su Su was about to leave, but Chang Ru suddenly called out, "Su Su."
Su Su stopped and asked, "Master, what do you want?"
Chang Ru did not answer Su Su directly, but walked towards the Fourth Prince, and Xiaoyi gently took the Fourth Prince's hand.
"Your Highness, I want Susu to stay. There are many things going on in the palace, and I need to learn from her to avoid any omissions."
"Okay." The Fourth Prince nodded.
A smile flashed in Chang Ru's eyes and she let go of the Fourth Prince's hand.
The fourth prince turned and left.
There was a carriage parked outside the palace gate, an ordinary carriage used for pulling congratulations, with a carriage that was a circle larger than the ones you usually ride in. Just by looking at the carriage, there was no way to determine who the carriage belonged to.
"Who drove the carriage here?" the Fourth Prince asked the guards guarding the palace gate.
"To reply to the Fourth Prince, the coachman only said that it was a wedding gift for the Fourth Prince and then left in a hurry. I couldn't even see the man's face clearly." The guard responded truthfully.
The Fourth Prince was surprised.
The purpose of not holding banquets is to avoid these things.
Even if someone in the court has secretly shown goodwill to him, these things cannot be made public.
While thinking, he lifted the car curtain.
There was not just one thing in the carriage, but it was filled with boxes of all sizes. It did not look like they were sent by just one person, but rather like the gifts from many people were concentrated in this one carriage!
Why so many!
The four princes were all shocked.
He picked one up and opened it to take a look.
It turned out to be a precious red coral.
The Fourth Prince originally thought that if there were some things that he did not like, he would open them and take a look, then have the carriage sent to a place and let those who gave gifts take them back by themselves.
But, such a precious thing...
He couldn't bear to do it.
