Gongsun Xi's return brought an abrupt end to Gongsun Yingdun and others' discussion about whether he had betrayed the Lord.
Although like Xu Lianshan, he believed that no one could give him better treatment than Rong Suihe, so Gongsun Xi asked him to go crazy and betray Rong Suihe, but that person stayed in Wangchun Palace for more than half a year. It's unsettling that Dong didn't come back despite Rong Suihe's repeated begging.
After he came back, Gongsun Yingdun once asked him why he wanted to stay in Wangchun Palace for so long despite going against Rong Suihe's wishes.
Gongsun Xi said in a very cold tone: "I can ask the leader."
"Little uncle, would you please tell him that he came to ask me soon?" Gongsun Yingdun had a bad relationship with him in the past, but he felt that since we had been serving as Rong Suihe's servants for so long, the relationship should not be as good as before, so he smiled. He asked, "I'll just tell you! He promises not to tell anyone!"
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Xi gave him a cold look, stood up and left.
This made Gongsun Yingdun feel very embarrassed. He told others that because of Gongsun Xi's status in front of Rong Suihe, others did not dare to agree with him, so they gave some vague words of comfort.
It's true that Gongsun Yingjiang, after hearing about this incident, took the initiative and reminded Dong Gongsun Yingdun: "Could it be that after Axi rescued the queen, the two of them fell in love with each other, so they were inseparable, right?"
Gongsun Yingdun thought that was unacceptable: "Ah Xi is just like a piece of wood. Could it be that he is good at falling in love at first sight?"
"He followed the queen to the Spring Palace in May last year. Who knows how many times we have met during that time?" Gongsun Yingjiang disagreed. "Besides, he doesn't like the Huaizhen people, so he is very indifferent in front of us. Have I never seen him before? When he was trying to persuade his little uncle, he was so eloquent!"
Bu Nao Gongsun Ying Jiang Cuo was not very interested in this matter. After all, did she know Rong Suihe's temper? Gongsun Xihe would definitely not let her sleep with him. No matter how good-looking a man who wouldn't let her sleep with her, she I'm too lazy to talk more... After all, it's very torturous to watch until you can't sleep.
"What time has it been? I'll stop worrying about those trivial matters and concentrate on checking the Mi Zhen County Prince's Mansion in the east again!" Gongsun Yingjiang reminded his younger brother, "The wedding is only a few days away!"
At that big wedding, because of the sky-high dowry and betrothal gifts, the onlookers were more interested than the people seeking to get married.
After entering March, people from the East who went shopping came back to spread the news, saying that people in the streets and alleys outside, and even in teahouses, were talking about how grand the wedding between Prince Mi Zhen and Lord Kang Zhao would be.
The idle people in the east of Chang'an City were more and more excited about this. Some people even decided to pay some gift money and beg to get a seat at the door so that they could see the groom and the bride up close.
Those words were announced to Feng as a joke to Sheng Weiqiao, not only to relieve boredom, but also to prevent the niece from knowing nothing and being frightened by the enthusiastic crowd that day.
Sheng Weiqiao didn't take it seriously and said jokingly: "Then the aunt who is doing his makeup must find someone with good leg skills. Otherwise, people will happily pay gifts and run in to see him, but they will go back disappointed. Wouldn’t it ruin his reputation?”
Xuanyu Feng laughed and scolded: "Although our family has always been open-minded, when we get married, we don't have to wear a hijab. People who watch the fun are not family members. Even if the gift money is given, there is no need to wear it." There is a seat at the banquet. Is it difficult to enter the boudoir and our new house? I put on the hijab in the boudoir and went out. Mi Zhen took off the hijab for me in the new house... Who can see what I look like outside? ?”
He also warned, "Although he knew that I was eager to get married as soon as possible so that I could be with my sweetheart, Nong Thanon. However, due to Shidong's custom, I cried several times when I left the court to show that I was reluctant to leave my father's family. Otherwise, people would say that I couldn't wait." The reputation of someone seeking to marry you is not good."
"He knows." Hearing this, Sheng Weiqiao made a face at her with a smile and said, "Aunt, you have already warned me... Speaking of which, it seems that his mother should cry when she gets married? But isn't his mother not in Chang'an? , when the time comes, will you cry on her behalf, or will grandma or his grandmother cry on his mother's behalf?"
"Who wants to cry on her behalf?" Mrs. Xuanyu Feng raised her sleeves, sneered, and said disdainfully, "It doesn't matter if my grandma doesn't cry, he won't cry anyway, and he can't cry either! Just like me. He is as naughty as a monkey, he wants me to go out early! Let’s talk about it first, I will discuss the matter with my grandmother, but I must never count on him!”
Facts have proved that the old lady of Xuan Yu’s family is completely telling the truth!
Because on the tenth day of March, Sheng Weiqiao just got up. As soon as he walked to the dressing table, the dressing aunt specially invited by the Sheng family from the palace came in. Fang smiled and praised: "Is the county master really naturally beautiful? I can't see how beautiful this slave is." It’s just for show, such a beautiful girl, but she really doesn’t like makeup and powder to stain her color!”
Xuanyu Feng, who walked in on the back foot, had red eyes, and tried hard to endure it. Finally, he couldn't help but said: "I'm going to go to their house if you make fun of such a flowery child in his family." .”
As he was talking, Mrs. Zhan and Mrs. Ming, who came together to watch Sheng Weiqiao dressing up, also showed reluctance.
It's good that my aunt is smart. When she saw what she said, a group of female relatives might burst into tears. Why don't you delay dressing up
Dangdong smiled and said: "The county lord and the county prince are a match made in heaven. Speaking of which, the servants are very fond of you, so I have to choose a good son-in-law! Chang'an City is in the east, who doesn't know that the prince of Mizhen County is both talented and beautiful, young and handsome? Is he an outstanding young hero? He and the county master Lan Xinhui are really talented and beautiful, and they are born together!"
Mrs. Zhan and Mrs. Ming were happy again with such a show, so they told Ms. Feng, but they still couldn't help themselves. They stood aside for a while and watched their niece dressing up, then quietly walked out and went to a quiet place to sit alone for a while. Tears, see if you can control your emotions, then go back quietly.
At that time, a group of people in the room were surrounding Sheng Weiqiao to help with makeup consultation. Are sisters Sheng Weirao and Sheng Weiwu definitely there? In the middle, Huan Yehe, the head of Jingshu County, and Xu Caifu, the youngest daughter of the Xu family, came over. No. You know why, on Meng's side, some of the girls who used to be with Queen Meng, such as Meng Shuangliao, were also generous enough to put on their makeup at the door.
Although the Sheng family felt surprised and happy about the confinement, they couldn't turn them away. Otherwise, everyone was invited to come to the boudoir and shut up.
The female family members in a room like that were chatting enthusiastically, but no one noticed anything unusual about Xuan Yu Feng.
After a group of people made suggestions at first, Sheng Weiqiao, who had finally put on her makeup, stood up, turned around, and asked everyone to help her take a closer look: the crow's black hair was all tied up, and a ray of sunset shone through the window lattice. , when it falls on the bun, the hair color becomes more intense, like the newly researched ink and the brilliance of Wu Jue.
No extra hairpin rings were used between the cloud buns, and she wore a pearl emerald crown upright. The crown was made of nine tree flower hairpins made by Qiaoshan craftsmen using red gold as the sinews, gold leaf jade as leaves, and pearl agate as flowers. It was reflected in the sunset in the east. Dots of golden light illuminate the room, making it appear graceful and luxurious.
On the temples, like a peacock spreading its tail, there is a row of nine silk-embedded diamonds, which echo each other with the phoenix-feather-like green pearl on the center of the eyebrows. The original gentle mountain eyebrows are carefully outlined and traced by the snail pearls. It showed a flying force that flew diagonally into the temples, making the bright apricot eyes seem to be a little sharper, which further highlighted the majesty and dignity that a royal wife should have.
However, a peony that is about to bloom is carefully painted with rouge between the corner of the right eye and the temple, which perfectly balances the majesty and nobility. Looking at it, one feels that it is beautiful, noble but not arrogant.
Because she is at her best age, Sheng Weiqiao was born pampered and pampered. Her skin is as delicate as porcelain, and even up close there is no flaw. The dressing aunt put a little layer of "hosta powder" on her, lightly touched her cheeks with gold flower rouge, opened the gilt flower shell box, and used a small silver spoon to pick out some vermilion lipstick on the outside. Dotted on the already bright-blooded cherry lips, it turned into a peach blossom makeup that symbolizes "suitable room and IKEA".
At that time, wedding attire was about red men and women. The bride's wedding attire was a green one-piece dress with a red rim singlet on the outside. A gold folded silk inlaid with jewelry and a lotus belt was tied around her waist. The same color as the wedding dress hung in the east and covered her knees with a green rim. The green-bottomed crested silk shoes looked solemn and elegant, which well covered up the childishness that still existed between Sheng Weiqiao's eyebrows. She stood in front of the mirror and asked everyone to help her take a closer look, and she unexpectedly revealed a bit of calmness and dignity. Come.
"Is he really a sweetheart... Is he really..." Meng Shuangliao and others cheered one after another, and the two sisters Sheng Weirao and Sheng Weiwu also praised them repeatedly, but the three sisters, Mrs. Zhan, Mrs. Ming and Mrs. Xuan Yufeng, The elders looked at her more and more reluctantly. The old lady wanted to praise her, but in the middle of her words, she choked up. Fearing that it would be unlucky, she quickly forced a smile and prevaricated a few words, just like Xuanyu Feng did just now, three steps and two steps at a time. After leaving the door, I found a corner to wipe my tears.
Mrs. Zhan didn't stand for long, and Feng didn't want Xuanyu to follow. Mrs. Zhan clearly saw the figure of her eldest daughter through her tearful eyes, and thought that Wu was here to comfort her. She was begging her not to worry, and Feng didn't want to Xuanyu. Shi walked to her side and started sobbing: "Why was Xinzhang so confused in the first place? Knowing that Mi Zhen and Qiao Er were not related by blood, she insisted on taking him back as her son. Not only did she get along with Qiao Er day and night, He had been telling Qiaoer to get close to him all day long... Now, it's okay. It's unclear whether Yuaner will be able to achieve the outstanding heir he hoped for in the future, but Qiaoer was married so far away from each other. We were here at that time, so that's all. "We will go back to Nanfeng County in a few days, and she will be alone there. We don't even know if she is cold, hot, or wronged!"
"Have a wonderful confinement, what can I say? Why don't you say those heart-piercing words?" Mrs. Zhan could have calmed down Dong Lai after crying twice. After hearing this, she imagined Dong Lai's innocent and easy-to-coax character, and left. If I meet someone with evil intentions in front of me, I am not sure how he will be plotted, or even if he is plotted, he will not notice it. I can't help but feel sad and cry even harder!
While crying, she complained to Xuan Yu Feng, "Please tell me I'm very sorry! He didn't approve of that marriage at first, but I said it was good to be secretly married... Then I reminded him that his sweetheart had married far away!"
The mother and daughter were crying. After all, Old Madam Ming was Sheng Weiqiao's biological grandmother. Although she felt sorry for her granddaughter who had watched her grow up, she didn't hurt her so much that she didn't want to let her out of the palace, so even though she didn't want to let her go. I feel reluctant to part with it, but I can bear it.
At that time, Nan came. In fact, she had arrived a long time ago. She looked around in front of the boudoir and saw that the female relatives of the Sheng family were crowded in to watch Sheng Weiqiao dressing up. She did not go in, but went to the banquet to set up a leg. , then I figured it was almost time, so I came over to watch the fun.
Seeing that Sheng Weiqiao looked so glamorous, he couldn't help but make a few jokes while complimenting her, because tomorrow there would be many young female relatives coming to congratulate Sheng Weiqiao. Nan didn't want to disturb the interest of the younger generation, so he teased her for a while and remained calm. Turning the topic to Huan Ye, he let a group of girls of the same age chatter away.
After getting away, Nan looked around and saw Mrs. Ming there, so she walked over and said, "He just took a look at the banquet. It was all in good condition. Would you please go over and check it again?" I'm afraid I'll get it after the king's meeting."
Mrs. Ming was startled when she heard this. Because she was not very capable in charge, since Sheng Lanci became an official, she could not worry about anything and concentrate on being a good old lady who eats and drinks well. Sheng Lanci paid great attention to Sheng Weiqiao's marriage that time. She knew that her stepmother was incompetent and was worried that she would not be able to help her. Moreover, she was not given anything to do. If she had to find a place for the elders' female relatives, she would have to find Mrs. Zhan. Find Xuan Yu Feng.
Mrs. Ming was also used to that kind of arrangement, so she immediately said, "Then you have to ask the old lady of the Wei family, who is very famous in the Xuanyu family."
When she said that, Mrs. Ming realized that neither Mrs. Zhan nor Xuanyu Feng was there, and she was surprised, "Have they already passed?"
It's a good thing that she didn't notice the mother and daughter leaving. There was a little maid next to her who might have seen it and came out and said, "The two old ladies seemed reluctant to leave the county master, so they went out and shut up."
Did Mrs. Ming and Mrs. Nan go out and find Mrs. Zhan and Mrs. Xuanyu Feng? Was the process smooth? Looking at the mother and daughter hugging each other and crying, Nan couldn't help but dumbfounded: "You two, Ming'er It’s not Qiao’er’s wonderful confinement, even if we can’t bear to part with it, then…if we cry like that, we’re afraid of being misunderstood!”
Mrs. Ming was a little embarrassed: A grandmother or an aunt would not give up like that. According to the relationship, her grandmother should feel more distressed.
When Mrs. Xingzhan and Mrs. Xuanyu Feng heard what Nan said about the banquet, they both reacted and said, "They planned to take a look at Qiao'er and then went to check the banquet. Unexpectedly, they didn't leave after just looking at it. Very good, Mrs. Nan, I’ll come over.”
They were eager to check to avoid any omissions at Sheng Weiqiao's wedding banquet. Although Nan had just looked around, since the wedding was not hosted by her, she was not very clear about the details, so she naturally followed them at that time.
In order to express Sheng Weiqiao's concern, the old lady Ming said, "He should also go and take a look at Qiao'er's good confinement. Don't let the people of Didong neglect it!"
After all, the matter was vague.
A group of people went to the front to inspect the banquet. The number of congratulators began to increase one after another, and soon everyone was entangled in the banquet and couldn't get away.
Xuanyu Feng had just welcomed the two ladies outside. He heard the sound of firecrackers and the sound of bells and drums in front of him. Following the sound of Fu Dongpu laughing and approaching the door, he knew that Fu Rong Sleeping Crane had come to greet him and was about to go inside. He paused in his footsteps and said with a smile: "Let's go see how the prince passes the test, shall we?"
