Chapter 121 The Imperial Marriage between the Prince of Chang'an and Luo Chuxue
Upon hearing Luo Chujiu's words, the rich young lady was overjoyed and immediately wanted to buy more drinks, saying she wanted to take them home for her family to try.

Fortunately, we prepared long, thin bamboo tubes in advance, which made it convenient for guests to take them home to drink.

After the first customer tried it, more and more people wanted to try it, and by the end of the morning, Luo Chujiu had sold out all the drinks she had prepared.

There were still many people queuing behind, but none of them got to drink it.

"I'm so sorry, today is the first day of business and we weren't prepared enough. Please come again tomorrow, and we will definitely prepare more ingredients then."

Seeing Luo Chujiu smiling apologetically at everyone, the guests didn't say anything more, only telling Luo Chujiu to prepare more for tomorrow, as they would be coming again.

"Miss, our business is so good! We sold out in just one morning!" Fei Yun couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the empty shelves.

"It's only the first day. Everyone's curious about it, so they're eager to try it. Wait a few days and see if it still sells this fast." Luo Chujiu chuckled, thinking that Feiyun was oversimplifying things.

Upon hearing Luo Chujiu's words, Feiyun fell silent and quietly tidied up the desk.

Xiao Beiming watched from the side for a long time, and only stepped forward after everyone had left:

"What is Xiao Jiu selling? Business is so good."

"Brother Beiming? What brings you here!"

Luo Chujiu was pleasantly surprised to see Xiao Beiming on the street, but she didn't seem to have told him about her business ventures.

"After I finished my court session, I passed by here and saw a queue. I was curious, so I stopped and watched for a long time before I realized that it was Xiao Jiu selling things here."

"I'm selling milk tea, but unfortunately I'm sold out. Otherwise, I'd like to treat Brother Beiming to a cup."

Luo Chujiu said with some regret.

"It's alright, I'll come earlier tomorrow so I can have the milk tea Xiao Jiu makes."

“Okay, then Brother Beiming, please come early tomorrow. I will save a portion just for you.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Beiming smiled and nodded.

Luo Chujiu was just about to pack up and leave when she took Xiao Beiming's carriage and left, leaving Feiyun and the others to finish up before taking their own carriages back.

"Should we go to my place or back to the Imperial Preceptor's residence?" Xiao Beiming asked Luo Chujiu for her opinion.

"Let's go to the Imperial Preceptor's residence. After we get married, we'll stay at the Prince's residence every day."

Xiao Beiming couldn't refute Luo Chujiu's words, so he sent Luo Chujiu back to the Imperial Preceptor's residence and stayed there for a while.

Xiao Beiming did not leave until Nalan Qingyin returned to the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

Luo Chujiu finally understood that her fourth and fifth senior brothers just didn't get along, and the two of them couldn't stay in the same room for too long.

"Xiao Jiu, what kind of look is that? Do you think Fourth Senior Brother drove your fiancé away?"

"I didn't say anything, Fourth Senior Brother, don't slander me."

"Yes, you didn't say it out loud, but your eyes said it all."

Nalan Qingyin gave Luo Chujiu a disgruntled look.

Luo Chujiu refused to admit it and turned around to go back to her room.

Nalan Qingyin looked at Luo Chujiu and sighed helplessly:

In two months, Xiao Jiu will be getting married and becoming someone else's wife. It's really hard to let her go.
The next day, Luo Chujiu prepared even more drinks, which were also quickly devoured, but she saved a portion for Xiao Beiming. Xiao Beiming passed by the milk tea shop after court and stopped.

"Brother Beiming, I saved this for you. It's persimmon-flavored milk tea. Try it."

Luo Chujiu personally likes this flavor, so she saved this flavor for Xiao Beiming as well. If Xiao Beiming doesn't like it, she can take it and drink it herself.

Xiao Beiming smiled as he took it, tasted it, and praised it highly:

"Xiao Jiu's milk tea is truly unique; I've never tasted anything like it before."

"Of course, this is my own creation, so you guys have never tried it before."

Luo Chujiu puffed out her little chest with pride, and Xiao Beiming chuckled.

In the following days, Luo Chujiu's milk tea shop became famous in Beijing, with a constant stream of customers coming to buy it every day. Many women and children liked the flavor and would buy several cups at a time.

Once the business stabilized, Luo Chujiu handed over the milk tea shop business entirely to Qingying and Caizhao, while she prepared for her wedding.

While Luo Chujiu was preparing for her wedding, there was also a joyous occasion at the Luo family residence.

The Prince of Chang'an requested His Majesty's decree to grant him a marriage, as he wished to marry the second young lady of the Luo family.

Xiao Jinglin looked at Xiao Jingyuan and asked him earnestly:
Are you really sure you want to marry her?

"Your Majesty, I have made up my mind. I will marry no one but Miss Luo."

"Alright, since it's your own decision, I won't try to persuade you. But I must say, Luo Chuxue isn't as kind as she seems. If you really get together with her, you might be completely controlled by her."

Xiao Jinglin had seen more people than Xiao Jingyuan had eaten, so he kindly offered his advice.

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Jingyuan simply smiled calmly:
“Your Majesty, I know very well what kind of person she is. She is calculating and scheming, but I just like her, I like her for no reason. So I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish.”

After seeing this, Xiao Jinglin said nothing more and directly wrote an imperial edict to grant the marriage, and instructed the eunuch to read the edict the next day to formally grant the marriage.

When the entire Luo family knelt in the courtyard to receive the imperial edict, they couldn't believe it was real.

They never imagined that Luo Chuxue would have any connection with the Prince of Chang'an, let alone that His Majesty would personally bestow a marriage upon her.

"Your subject, Luo Chuxue, receives the imperial decree and thanks Your Majesty for bestowing this marriage upon her—"

"Miss Luo, please rise. I have already read the imperial decree and will return to the palace to report. The betrothal gifts and list will be delivered shortly."

"Thank you, sir."

Luo Chuxue gave her father-in-law a half-bow to show her respect.

The father-in-law smiled and then left.

After the imperial eunuch left, Madam Luo Sun happily asked Luo Chuxue:
"Xue'er, when did you and the Prince of Chang'an reach this point? Why didn't you tell your mother?"

“Mother, I have only met the Prince of Chang’an a few times, and I did not know that he would ask His Majesty for a decree to grant us a marriage.”

"Alright, it's a good thing after all. Our Luo family will have a princess consort from now on. The Prince of Chang'an is His Majesty's most favored younger brother. He will definitely be granted the title of prince in the future. After that, he will be a princess consort, and his status will be exceptionally high."

Madam Luo said with great joy, "The Luo family is finally going to return to its former glory and grandeur!"
"Mother is right. Xue'er is so promising. She became the Princess Consort without making a sound. All the young ladies in the capital must be so envious." Madam Luo Jiang was also happy for Luo Chuxue.

The Prince of Chang'an can also help the Luo family in the future, which is ultimately a good thing for her.
