The auspicious time was chosen as noon, which meant that the bridal sedan would arrive at noon.
Zi'an had returned to the Prime Minister's residence before noon. Chen Liuliu came to greet him. "I couldn't find you just now. I asked Xiaosun and found out that you sent the wife back to Yuan's residence. Ximen Xiaoyue is such a jerk. She actually said something about the conflicting zodiac signs. Even if there is a conflict, she should be the concubine and the conflicting wife. She chose another date to marry. How could the main wife avoid her? Her brain is full of rat shit."
Zi'an looked at Liu Liu. She used to wear tight clothes and didn't look like a girl at all. But today she wore a crescent-colored pleated satin skirt with a nipped waist, wide sleeves, and a front-opening outer garment embroidered with small crabapples. She had two buns on her head. When she smiled, her eyebrows were curved and her dimples were charming and sweet.
If she didn't speak, she would look like a playful and pretty lady.
"Come here, didn't you say you wanted to meet my twelve brothers? I'll introduce them to you." Chen Liuliu said happily while holding Zi'an's hand.
Before Zi'an could catch his breath, she pulled him through the guests, separated them, and brought him to the lake.
"elder brother!"
Twelve men turned around at the same time.
Zian was dumbfounded.
I was really dumbfounded.
She knew that Chen Liuliu had twelve brothers, but she didn't know that these twelve brothers looked exactly the same.
Moreover, they were wearing clothes of the same color, and they seemed to be of similar age. Most importantly, they were both very handsome.
The great Zhou Dynasty was truly filled with handsome men and beautiful women.
"Miss Xia!" The twelve Generals Chen stepped forward at the same time and bowed to Zi'an.
Zi'an dared to conclude that wherever these twelve people went, they would be the focus.
Zi'an was about to return the favor when he heard a sarcastic voice in his ear, "Do you want to stick your whole body to her? Don't you notice that your eyeballs are almost popping out? You're such a nympho you've never seen a man before!"
The words were spoken in a very sarcastic manner, and Zian knew who it was without even turning around.
She rubbed her cheek with her hand, forced a stiff smile, turned back and bowed, "When did the prince come?"
Murong Jie said coldly: "I have been here the whole time, but you didn't see it."
Twelve handsome men from the Chen family stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty!"
"Well, hello, Xiao Chen." Murong Jie nodded, looking quite displeased.
"Didn't Xiao Tuo come with the prince?" Chen Liuliu looked behind him and asked in a low voice.
"He'll come later." Murong Jie still stared at Zi'an, "Where have you been so early in the morning?"
Zi'an was really angry that he didn't give her any face in front of everyone, and yelled at her as if she was his little girl.
But he had to answer, "I sent my mother back to Yuan's house."
"Come here, I have something to tell you." Murong Jie said.
Zi'an bowed to Chen Liuliu's brother and said, "I'll go first."
"Goodbye, Miss." Ever since the old lady went back and announced to everyone that Xia Zian would match Chen Liuliu and Xiao Tuo within half a year, Xia Zian became the Chen family's great benefactor.
Everyone was hoping that she would take action and try to marry Liu Liu off as soon as possible.
Zi'an thought Murong Jie had something important to tell her, but after pulling her aside, he threatened her coldly, "If you dare to stare at a man again, I will dig out your eyeballs."
Zi'an said unhappily, "When did I stare at men? Isn't it because they look exactly the same? By the way, how is it possible that they look exactly the same?"
"How are they exactly alike? Is there something wrong with your eyes? They are just triplets."
"Triplets? Four triplets?" Zi'an was shocked. No wonder Liu Liu said that if she slept with Xiao Tuo, she would give birth to triplets for Xiao Tuo. It turned out that her mother was so powerful that she gave birth to four triplets.
"There were five triplets. Chen Liuliu also had triplets, but two of them died."
"Ah!" Zian was shocked.
"One baby is born every year, so the eldest and the youngest are only four years apart." Murong Jie explained to her.
Great guy!
One birth a year is a high birth rate, and one birth is three babies. In five years, she gave birth to five triplets. I really want to meet Mrs. Chen if I have the chance.
Zi'an thought that if Chen Liuliu really married Xiao Tuo, and Xiao Tuo treated Chen Liuliu badly, the Chen brothers would come to his house together to hold him accountable. Where could Xiao Tuo hide
Shed a tear of sympathy for Xiao Tuo.
"Come here!" Murong Jie stared at her and ordered.
Zian took a step forward, "What's wrong?"
"The hairpin is loose." Murong Jie reached out and tidied her hair. His movements were very rough and caused her scalp to hurt. However, she felt that this movement was unusually intimate.
However, she soon discovered that he was not really trying to tidy her up, but was just doing it for the people around him to see.
“If someone comes to bother me later, show me your tigress side.” Murong Jie threatened in a low voice.
"Who would bother you? If you don't like it, just scold and walk away. Why do you need me to go?" Zi'an asked puzzled.
"If I chase them away, wouldn't that offend their parents?"
"If I go, I will also offend their parents!" Zi'an widened his eyes.
"What does it matter if you offend someone? No one likes you anyway. I am different. How many people like me?"
Zi'an clicked his tongue twice and looked at him, "You can't be so shameless."
He snorted and walked away coldly.
Zi'an asked Su Qing curiously, "Su Qing, who dares to bother him? With his cold face and sharp tongue, who dares to bother him?"
Su Qing said slowly, "Your Majesty has come to the palace to ask for an imperial decree to grant you a marriage with the prince. Although the imperial decree has not come down yet, it has already been known to the heavens. The Prince Regent is actually going to marry, and how many noble families are watching? Who doesn't want their daughter to be the Prince Regent's Consort? While the imperial decree has not come down yet, try to show your face as much as possible. Maybe the prince will take a fancy to you. That would be like flying up to the tree and becoming a phoenix overnight."
Zi'an looked over and saw that many young women were staring at him, some with obsessed eyes. She pouted and said, "Who is trying to attract so many people?"
Su Qingman looked at her and said, "I just helped you fix your hair. The old man in the Xiangfu was watching."
"Hmm?" Zi'an looked around and didn't see the old lady.
"Gone!" Su Qing said lightly.
Zi'an said: "There is no need for him to do this. Even if they knew that I was the future regent princess, they would still take action, and they would be more urgent. They would take action before I became the princess."
"The prince is eager for them to attack you. If they kill you, the prince can justifiably attack the prime minister's residence. There is no better excuse than to avenge his wife."
Su Qing looked at her and saw her ferocious face. He swallowed and said, "It wasn't me who said that. It was the prince who said that."
Zi'an glared at the peacock-like man with gnashing teeth. He was now lazily sitting on the armchair in the yard, with several ministers coming to see him with their families. He narrowed his narrow eyes, raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly, and stared at the daughters of those ministers unscrupulously, not to mention how presumptuous he was.
What a silver thief!
Just when I was feeling extremely bitter and resentful, I heard the music of a ceremonial guard outside the door; the bridal sedan was arriving.
