Because Cheng Yujin was pregnant with twins, it was obviously the long-awaited pregnancy, and Li Chengjing did not publicize it. Instead, he gave the palace servants in the East Palace a forbidden password, and it was strictly forbidden to spread it.
Cheng Yujin was diagnosed with pregnancy at the end of April, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the second prince and Dou Xiyin to get married.
On the wedding day, Empress Yang was very lively, she could be described as extravagant and unscrupulous. I don't know if she was intentional or not, many rituals exceeded the regulations of the prince's wedding, and even approached the prince faintly.
Getting married is an important watershed in a man's adulthood, and so is a prince. Shortly after the marriage was granted, the emperor summoned the Ministry of Rites to choose a title for the second prince and made him the king of longevity.
When the title was chosen, Empress Yang went to the imperial study several times in secret and tried to choose Qin, Han and other titles for the second prince, but the emperor was very determined and ignored the words that Empress Yang deliberately picked out. Is the final draft of the word "shou".
Longevity, longevity also. This is a father's longest love for his son, but it is by no means an emperor's attitude towards his heir.
The name is given at birth, but the title is only drawn after adulthood, and many things can be seen from the fief and the title. If the name is based on a country, such as Qin, Chu, Qi, Han, etc., the stronger the country, the more important the emperor is. position for this son.
As soon as the title of Shou came out, even though the previous dynasty was clamoring for the marriage of the second prince, half of the courtiers were silent when they saw the title that the sage had picked up in person.
The emperor's heart is more and more clear. In the emperor's heart, of course he preferred the second son under Chenghuan's knees since he was a child, but he was only a son. A safe and long life is what the emperor hopes for the second prince. The crown prince's position as the heir in the emperor's heart is unshakable.
Empress Yang was very shocked in her heart, but she still refused to give up, so she did her best to hold a big wedding for her son. The dowry and betrothal gifts are clearly stipulated in the court regulations, how much the crown prince should carry, how much the prince should carry, how much the county king should carry, and the price is clearly marked in black and white. Empress Yang couldn't surpass her, so she was determined to expand her pomp, and there was a faint sign of her marriage to Li Chengjing.
Cheng Yujin also went to Shouwang's mansion for a family banquet. As the most important person in the audience, she was the last one to appear. Once she is in place, the wedding process can begin.
Cheng Yujin smiled and said nothing when she saw the decorations and pomp around her. During the period, someone quietly came up to test Cheng Yujin's voice. Cheng Yujin just smiled, "Shou Wang Daxi", "Blessed brother and sister", and said nothing else. But just these few words are enough. Cheng Yujin is the crown princess who was personally married by the emperor. Even Empress Yang and Empress Dowager Yang can't fault Cheng Yujin. They are reserve queens, how can they compare with an ordinary princess
Moreover, how Dou Xiyin was given marriage, although no one said, but who does not know in private? There is such a big stain before marriage, it is not enough to be a low-key person, and even dare to show it, I really feel that it is not enough to be ashamed.
Seeing Cheng Yujin's generous demeanor from beginning to end, everyone felt more and more that this was the bearing of the future mother of the country. In contrast, Empress Yang's rambunctious behavior was somewhat petty.
The guests were half sighed and half disdainful, but they were still enthusiastically holding the queen's place.
No one who came to attend the prince's wedding banquet would be a fool, and some of them, when Dou Xiyin entered the palace to worship, couldn't help but cast their eyes on the belly of the bride's overcoat.
The wedding is in such a hurry, I don't know, is it...
It is also a coincidence that the bride's dresses are all large and layered, which inevitably looks fatter than before. As a result, people with a heart are more and more certain that Dou Xiyin is in a hurry to hold the wedding.
After the worship was over, the newlyweds were sent to the bridal chamber. Cheng Yujin had a distinguished status and was not a lively character. Now that there is a fetus in her belly, she has no interest in going to the bridal chamber at all. Cheng Yujin sent Forsythia to the bridal chamber to appear on her behalf, and went back to the front banquet herself.
Cheng Yujin is now a well-deserved central figure on the field. She walked to the banquet and soon followed by a large group of people. Everyone came up to greet Cheng Yujin with a smile, and after a few chats, they took their seats one by one.
Cheng Yujin naturally sat in the chief seat, and with her light, the Cheng family could also sit on the top seat. When the county master of Qingfu saw Cheng Yujin, he greeted him with a smile, respectfully and subtly asked about Cheng Yujin's recent situation, and sat down quietly.
As a mother, one day, she will sit next to her adopted daughter. Not only that, Qingfu County Master can sit here today, but thanks to his adopted daughter.
The Princess Qingfu sighed deeply in his heart.
After a while, the Xu family also came. Cheng Yujin sat at this table from a family that was close to the East Palace, including the Cheng family and the Xu family, Concubine Shu's mother's family. Mrs. Xu and Cheng Min hurried to greet Cheng Yujin before sitting down carefully.
Mrs. Xu tried to talk to Cheng Yujin and said, "Prince Concubine looks so good today."
Cheng Yujin smiled and said, "Thank you Mrs. Xu for your kind words."
Although Mrs. Xu has the intention to please Cheng Yujin, this sentence is really not flattery. Cheng Yujin's complexion is really very good today. She is wearing a red shirt and her face is white and red. Sitting here is bright and radiant.
Mrs. Xu's purpose was to talk to her, but when she saw Cheng Yujin, she felt a little envious. Although today is the rejoicing day for Princess Shou, Dou Xiyin's whole body is full of phoenix crowns, which is not half as bright as the Crown Princess.
The topic gradually turned to household topics. Someone asked Mrs. Jingyonghou. Cheng Yujin shook her head and said, "I haven't seen her today. Maybe she is talking to someone somewhere."
Cheng Yumo's qualifications are not enough to sit at the first table, even though she is the princess' sister. However, on such a big occasion today, if Cheng Yumo doesn't lean in front of Cheng Yujin, can he still expect the Crown Princess to take the initiative to talk to you? Cheng Min heard a sigh in her heart, shook her head and refused to mention her any more.
I heard that during this time, the relationship between Cheng Yumo and her mother-in-law became more tense. It has been almost two years since Cheng Yumo entered the house, but she has no signs of pregnancy since the miscarriage. Any in-law's family will be anxious when they see it, and the Huo Xue family is still that kind of temperament. Can guess.
They talked and started to serve. During the banquet, Yang Yan came to Cheng Yujin's seat like a peacock with an open screen, and she could hear her laughter from a distance: "The court lady is not well entertained, and the crown prince should not be blamed."
Cheng Yujin raised her chopsticks and tapped the leftovers, without any intention of eating at all. Hearing Yang Yan's voice, she put down her chopsticks: "Mrs. Dou is welcome, this palace is here to attend the second brother's wedding banquet, not an outsider, why do you need to entertain?"
Yang Yan choked and didn't pick up the words for a while. Yang Yan didn't think as deeply as other ladies thought. She was really proud and proud today. After looking forward to it for seven or eight years, today her daughter really became the imperial concubine, why is this making Yang Yan unhappy? Especially today, as a mother-in-law, she did not preside over the overall situation in the Huo family, but just followed the excuse of someone who was not in charge of the Shouwang Palace to arrange a banquet.
The emperor and the empress are the empresses, and even if their sons get married, they can't go out of the palace to visit the Shouwang Mansion in person, but since Gaotang is not there, naturally the maid next to Empress Yang will come out to preside over the situation. Yang Yan, as the mother of the bride, came to Shouwang's mansion on the wedding day to take care of her.
However, Yang Yan, the party involved, didn't feel that she was very proud today, especially when she saw the people from Yichun Hou's mansion, she wanted to come up and compare a few words more and more. Yang Yan fiddled in front of Cheng Yujin for a long time, secretly showing how much Empress Yang valued Dou Xiyin and how rich Dou Xiyin's dowry was.
Cheng Yujin sat in the chief seat, always just smiling and nodding, not talking or being cold. When Yang Yan finally showed off enough and greeted the other seat like a butterfly, the eldest wife of the Xu family couldn't help but said in a low voice, "Mrs. Dou is really enthusiastic today. It's just that she is her own mother after all and does not stay in Dou. The family presides over the wedding banquet, what are you doing at the Shou Palace?"
Another young grandmother of the Xu family heard it, pressed her lips and said, "I am young, and I don't think fully about some things. I am thinking that when I have a daughter in the future, I must take the attitude of a mother and let the man be kind. If you want to marry your own daughter, you will definitely not sacrifice your worth and help the man entertain the banquet."
When everyone at the banquet heard it, they glanced at the talking daughter-in-law, and quietly looked at Cheng Yujin's face. Cheng Yujin didn't say anything, as if she didn't hear it, she lowered her head and blew the tea in the cup. Mrs. Xu was relieved, and pretended to be angry and scolded: "In front of the Crown Princess, don't talk nonsense."
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Xu said to Cheng Yujin with apologetic eyes: "I'm sorry, Crown Princess, the younger generation in the family is ignorant, so I made you laugh."
Cheng Yujin smiled and said, "It's okay for grandma Xu to talk quickly."
Although Mrs. Xu's tone was scolding, her demeanor was not angry. This talking daughter-in-law is a junior. She is young and shallow. She can rely on her youth and ignorance to say things that everyone wants to say but can't say at the attendance. The princess. Although Mrs. Xu scolded her, she was actually very satisfied with her daughter-in-law's cleverness.
At this time, a fish was brought to the table. Cheng Yujin suddenly felt nauseated when asked about the taste. This nausea came up quickly and quickly, Cheng Yujin couldn't help covering her lips, and she turned to the side for a burst of retching.
This turn of events terrified everyone. The maid holding the fish's knees softened, then she fell to her knees and kept kowtowing, "It's not a slave maid, the slave maid did nothing."
However, the others couldn't care about the little girl, they all stood up and looked at Cheng Yujin nervously. Fortunately, several of the ladies present here have given birth. A lady from the Xu family had an idea and said tentatively, "The smell of fish is fishy. The Crown Princess smells fish disgusting, isn't it..."
Cheng Yujin really didn't expect everything to be exposed so quickly. At this moment, half of the people at the wedding banquet stopped their chopsticks and looked at Cheng Yujin here without moving. Cheng Yujin managed to hold back her nausea and nodded with a pale face: "Yes, it's been three months."
The fact that she was pregnant can't be hidden from everyone. After a few days, her belly will get bigger, and sooner or later, it will be known to the public and the public. She may not take the initiative to say it, but in the eyes of the public at this moment, if she denies it, it is a lie.
Might as well admit it. Anyway, she only said she was pregnant. As for the fact that she was pregnant with twins, how long could she hide it.
Mrs. Xu couldn't hold back, and immediately shouted, "Oh my God." When she reacted, she was really happy and shocked, and she didn't know what to say.
"Hey, Crown Princess, you and the Crown Prince are really... too cautious. It's been three months for such a big happy event, and you still haven't told us?"
Cheng Yujin could only smile, as if she had made a plan, and calmly accepted the congratulations from everyone.
But in fact... She didn't want to, and she was helpless.
The news that the Crown Princess was pregnant and was three months old immediately spread throughout the wedding feast like she had grown legs. Everyone was very happy to hear it. Yu Gong is the first child of the crown prince, and it is the joy of the national ancestral temple. It is a good thing for Yu Zi to be pregnant in any family, and it was discovered at the wedding banquet, and everyone wanted to come up. Dip in joy. So in the second half of the wedding banquet, everyone rushed to congratulate Cheng Yujin. As for the real protagonist, Princess Shou Princess Dou Xiyin, no one paid attention.
Empress Yang spent a lot of money on the wedding of the second prince. In the end, everyone remembered that all the princesses were pregnant. Dou Xiyin's limelight was snatched away, and it can only be said that the world is unpredictable.
The next day, Dou Xiyin went to the palace to see her mother-in-law, and they all complained to Empress Yang aggrievedly: "Auntie, I think she did it on purpose. Otherwise, the first three months have passed, and she would not announce it sooner or later, but she chose to At my wedding, didn't you deliberately try to show my face?"
Empress Yang also felt shameless, but face was a trivial matter after all, Empress Yang was more worried.
Li Chengjing has come back with all his hair. In the past year and a half, his reputation has grown, and he has never made mistakes since he entered the dynasty. He has also done several beautiful errands one after another, which is very popular among the people. Nowadays, when it comes to the prince in the court and the opposition, it is unanimously praised by everyone.
The only imperfection of his prince is that he has not yet had a son. The crown prince put it bluntly for the stability of the country. If Li Chengjing didn't have a son for a long time, then his position as a prince would not be stable.
But now, Cheng Yujin is pregnant. Moreover, when he appeared on the stage, he was at his peak, and he had already passed the most dangerous first three months. Empress Yang felt very depressed at the thought of this. One of them was a match and the other was a black hand. They were both strong, so why were they so stubborn
For the first month, it was hidden from others because she was afraid that her child would be harmed. Empress Yang could understand it, but if she didn't talk about it for the first three months, she was afraid of ruining the child's blessing. Empress Yang could barely understand. But it's now, and I'm still hiding it. If Cheng Yujin hadn't smelled the fishy smell and nauseated, the ghost knows when outsiders will know the truth.
The couple in the East Palace are too cautious and too stubborn, right
Now the people in the palace fully understand Empress Yang's mood at the moment, and they are also very speechless about the prince and the princess. Xiao Transparent was afraid of being harmed by others, so she did not dare to announce her pregnancy, but why did the prince and princess do the same? Did they have any misunderstandings about their combat power
Queen Yang's mood was very difficult to describe. Dou Xiyin saw that the Queen's face was not very good and did not dare to entangle the Queen for too long, so she quickly restrained her crying and said, "Aunt, they do this clearly because they don't care about you. Now they haven't made a big deal yet, and there is still a chance for them to be held hostage. Aunt, why don't you take this opportunity to send a few eyeliners to the East Palace?"
Eyeliner? Empress Yang looked at Dou Xiyin and said in a bad tone, "Do you think this palace has not tried it? But the people who went in didn't move after a long time, and this palace has already damaged a lot of manpower."
Dou Xiyin lowered her voice and said, "Then give me an upright eyeliner that Cheng Yujin can't handle in private."
"You mean..."
"There is only one Crown Princess in the East Palace. Previously, for the sake of the heir, there was still forgiveness. But now that the Crown Princess is pregnant, she can no longer serve the Prince. It is time to fill the East Palace and choose someone to sleep for the Prince."
