After Murong Jie and Xia Zian came out of the bath, everyone was shocked to see that the bride was actually Xia Zian.
Ignoring all the speculations and discussions, the most important thing now is whether the wedding should go ahead
If so, where can I pick up the wedding dress
A weak voice rang out from the crowd, "Didn't the eldest lady and Prince Liang get married once before? Are the wedding dresses still there?"
Everyone looked back and saw that the person who said this was Chen Liuliu.
Seeing that so many people were staring at her, she thought she had said something wrong and quickly waved her hand, "I'm making a suggestion, but you don't have to adopt it."
The Empress Dowager said, "It is settled."
However, there is another problem. The wedding dress of King Liang is good, but Xia Zian's wedding dress is full of holes.
This wedding dress brought back to his mind the misery of her day. Zi'an had never thought that after all the twists and turns, he would still have to wear this wedding dress to get married.
She wasn't too happy about it.
The Empress Dowager heard her objection and told her, "If you don't want to wear this wedding dress, why don't you change the date? I will order someone to sew a new wedding dress for you. It will be made in three to five months."
Hearing this, Zi'an held the tattered wedding dress in his arms and said sympathetically, "It costs a lot of money to make a wedding dress in a hurry. I'm afraid that such extravagance and waste will be criticized in the future. Anyway, there is a ready-made one. Let the embroiderer sew it right away and don't expose the flesh."
"It's so torn, I'm afraid it will be exposed." Aunt Ashe kindly reminded.
Zi'an took a deep breath and said, "It's not a big deal if you expose yourself."
She would rather get married naked than wait for three to five months. Damn, this marriage is so frustrating.
Ah She shook his head and said expressionlessly: "Xia Zian, you are really sensible."
Zi'an continued to take a deep breath, raised his smiling face and said: "Let's start saving and thrift from us."
She only found out about the identities of these two people after she came back. She was convinced, but she still hated them in her heart. Fortunately, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
She is not in a hurry.
When she turned around, she heard Aunt Ah She say to the Empress Dowager: "How afraid is she that she won't be able to get married?"
Still, take another breath. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. You are so old, you will definitely die before me.
The news of the incident at the wedding banquet spread, and Prince Liang, Prince An, Murong Zhuangzhuang, and Princess Danqing, who had not attended before, all arrived.
When Zhuangzhuang saw Xiao Xiao, he subconsciously looked for another person, but when he didn't see him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
King Liang stood beside her and said, "Don't worry, he never takes her out."
Zhuangzhuang turned his head and pretended not to hear.
According to the rules, Zi'an had to return to the prime minister's residence first and get married there.
But the Empress Dowager said that there was no need to go through so much trouble. They could just find a room in the palace to comb Zi'an's hair, and then the groom could go to this room to pick up the bride.
The chief steward of the inner court went to ask the Empress Dowager, "The auspicious time for the wedding ceremony has passed. Should we choose another one?"
The Empress Dowager said: "There is no need for that. Any time is a good time."
In the wing room.
Liang, Hu Huanxi, Zhuangzhuang, Rouyao, Yuan Cuiyu, A'man, Liuliu, a large group of female relatives crowded in this room and asked Zi'an about what had happened during this period.
Zi'an gave a brief account, and everyone was shocked, "It was the Grand Empress Dowager who saved you?"
Everyone said to rescue, but not to trap. Who would dare to do that? That person had the most violent temper in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
When Zi'an came back just now, she also learned about the zombie disease from Xiao Tuo and Su Qing, and also knew about the affairs of the Xiangfu. She looked at Yuan Cuiyu and said softly: "Mother, now you are completely free."
Yuan Cuiyu had complicated feelings. She was reluctant to let Zi'an get married, but she also knew that this was the best destination for her. Although the prince had a bad temper, he was a good person.
Hugging her gently, "Zi'an, mother only wishes you well."
Before Yuan Cuiyu came over, her forehead was covered with thick powder, but it was covered by her hair, so Zi'an didn't see her scars. However, it was only after this close touch and hug that he discovered the scar on her head.
"What's going on?" Zi'an asked in shock.
Xiao Tuo didn't tell her that Yuan Cuiyu was beaten, so she didn't know.
Chen Liuliu said bluntly, "Zi'an, you don't know, after you disappeared, Prime Minister Xia beat your mother and almost killed her. Everyone in the capital knows about this."
Zi'an's eyes were filled with icy coldness. She reached out and lifted Yuan Cuiyu's hair. Seeing the ugly scars from being scalded by boiling water, she said softly, "The old lady is dead. Fortunately, Prime Minister Xia is still alive."
Liu Liu said: "Zi'an, are you still glad that he is alive? He should have died in the epidemic area like the old lady."
Among the people present, except Rouyao and Liuliu who could not understand what Zi'an meant, everyone else knew.
Hu Huanxi said calmly: "Yes, it's good to be alive. As long as you are alive, you can seek revenge for your grievances and revenge for your grievances."
Zi'an raised her head and looked at Hu Huanxi. She always felt that Hu Huanxi was a person with a story. There was a vicissitude of life and death in her eyes.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Liang said, "Okay, don't say anything. Let him forget about the unhappy things. Today is a good day, we should be happy."
Everyone started laughing and stepped aside to let others help them put on their makeup.
The embroiderer's skills were very good. She had repaired the clothes so well that almost no flaws could be seen, except for a whip mark running from the back to the thigh. Although the embroiderer had used up all her life's skills, a trace of mending could still be vaguely seen.
However, all flaws can be forgiven. After all, as long as the person is right, that's enough.
Murong Jie pulled Xiao Xiao and the others into another room and sternly warned them, "No one is allowed to tell Xia Zian that I ordered someone to take Zian away."
"The truth cannot be hidden." Xiao Tuo reminded.
"If this gets out, the three of you will have to clean toilets in the palace for a month," Murong Jie threatened.
Everyone was silent.
Before the wedding, a small incident happened. The news of Zi'an's return spread, and those zombie patients and their families knelt outside the palace to thank Zi'an.
Zi'an went out in her wedding dress, and among the crowd, she was as beautiful as a fairy.
Some people sighed. A few months ago, Xia Zian was wearing this wedding dress and was scolded and forced to marry at the gate of the prime minister's residence. She became a joke and shame in the capital.
A few months later, she was standing at the gate of the palace wearing the same wedding dress. She had successfully fought back and became the high and mighty Regent Princess.
It's really... things change over time!
Xia Zian, without relying on the glory of the Prime Minister's Mansion, completed her own counterattack in life.
Before the wedding ceremony, the Empress Dowager took out the Scar Rope again and said, "I don't have any good gifts for you when you get married. After all, a place as bitter and cold as Hanshan can't produce anything good. So I'll give you this Scar Rope. Keep it well."
The younger generation were all very surprised to see that the Empress Dowager actually took out this tattered rope and gave it to Zi'an as a wedding gift.
Only some old ministers, such as Taifu Liang, looked solemn.
This scar rope is very famous. It was used to tie up Emperor Hui in the past.
At that time, Emperor Hui was young and ignorant, and was tied up by the Queen Mother Long with a scar rope. She was forced to kneel in the court and swear in front of the dragon throne that she would never act recklessly in the future.
From then on, Emperor Hui became much more sensible and regarded the rope that had tied him as a sacred object, saying that this rope could be used to tie up tyrants and greedy ministers.
As preparations were being made for the wedding ceremony, the Grand Empress Dowager sent for the noble concubine who had been claiming to have a headache.
