Chapter 150 150 Wedding

My memory of what happened fourteen years ago was blurry, but due to recent repeated recollections, it has gradually become clearer.

Back then, she gave birth to Chu Qianhuang on the way to her hometown. She was delayed for a few days on the way. It was not until she arrived at her hometown that she learned that Aunt Jiang had given birth to a girl, only a few hours younger than Chu Qianhuang.

Two female babies of the same age grew up little by little, from babbling to toddlers, and slowly grew into cardamom girls, each with its own merits.

Mrs. Shen looked at Chu Qianchen blankly.

Even Grandma Chen widened her eyes in shock and thought: The second girl is actually a concubine? ! ...Then things about Huang Wenpo and Aunt Yu seem to be explained.

"Chu Qianchen," Mrs. Liu came to her senses, took a step forward, and threatened in a strong voice, "Aren't you afraid that I will publicize your life experience?"

Madam Liu curled her lower lip coldly, and glanced at the shocked Shen Madam aside from the corner of her eye.

Mrs. Shen didn't expect that Chu Qianchen was an outsider, right? !

Once the secret of Chu Qianchen's concubine comes out, it will be a slap in Shen's face!

In this noble family, it is natural for a man to take a concubine with his wife, but Chu Lingxiao secretly keeps a concubine outside, which hurts the face of his legitimate wife. Others will only speculate whether Shen is jealous, and even There is no room for even a concubine.

The reason why Mr. Liu chose this time to block the road was because he came to Mr. Shen.

Chu Qianchen kept saying that they were making up stories and refused to admit that she was a concubine, but it didn't matter if she didn't admit it, as long as Mrs. Shen believed it!

Shen has always been a good-looking person, and she will definitely not let the news that Chu Qianchen is a concubine get out!

Ms. Liu was full of confidence and said: "Sister-in-law, Shiquan anointing means that our mother and daughter will keep secret, what do you think?"

Chu Qianchen now wants to please Shen. As long as Shen wants to ask for it, Chu Qianchen will definitely not dare to disobey Shen.

However, Shen stood there in despair, not reacting at all.

Ms. Liu frowned slightly and looked straight at Ms. Shen, "Sister-in-law..."

"Second Aunt, who do you want to tell?" Chu Qianchen interrupted Liu and smiled, "Is it grandma?"

"That's just right. Third sister seems to be only a few months younger than me." Chu Qianchen looked at Chu Qianling with a smile.

Liu: "!!"

Ms. Liu's eyes widened and her heart skipped a beat.

By the way, a mere virgin is certainly not qualified to congratulate King Chen.

She almost forgot, if Chu Qianchen was not qualified to marry King Chen, then whose turn would it be?

The wedding is tomorrow, and it is absolutely impossible to cancel it at the last minute, and the only girl of the right age who can replace Chu Qianchen in the Chu family is his own daughter!

Ms. Liu thought in confusion, her expression even darker.

Before Chu Qianling could figure it out, she saw Mrs. Liu suddenly stopped talking and pulled Mrs. Liu's sleeve urgingly.

"Why doesn't Second Aunt say anything?" Chu Qianchen tilted her little face. Under the bright moonlight, her smile was as bright as a star, and she was approaching Mrs. Liu step by step.

Mrs. Liu felt that Chu Qianchen's eyes were so bright that she couldn't look at her directly.

She couldn't help but take a step back, bumping into the bushes behind her. Her sleeves got caught on the branches and leaves of the bushes, and she tugged at them irritably.

"His!"

With this tug, a big hole was torn out in his right sleeve.

Mrs. Liu stood there in a state of embarrassment, her face turning blue and white.

Only then did she realize that she had been suppressed by a little girl like Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianchen took a step back and shook his head sadly, "Second Aunt, you are such an adult and you don't know how to be careful when walking."

"..." Madam Liu gasped rapidly, her chest rising and falling, and veins popping up on her forehead.

Chu Qianchen withdrew his gaze, smiled brightly at Shen, held her arm and continued walking forward, "Mother, let's go."

The little black cat followed spontaneously, walking briskly and rubbing its little head on Chu Qianchen's skirt as he walked.

This time, Ms. Liu didn't stop them anymore, and stared blankly at Chu Qianchen's leaving figure, her eyes flickering.

"Mother." Chu Qianling became even more panicked. She tightly grabbed Mrs. Liu's sleeve with one hand, becoming more and more at a loss.

A corner of the veil was blown up by the wind, revealing her trembling cherry lips, which were as pale as paper.

Her heart dropped, but she didn't dare to catch up.

She was really afraid of Chu Qianchen. Chu Qianchen was really unwilling to take either soft or hard advice.

The surroundings fell into a dead silence, except for the rustling of the leaves in the night wind.

Chu Qianchen took Shen's arm and walked forward slowly. She knew that Shen had many questions in her heart, so she told her that Chu Qianling came to her a few days ago to ask for Shiquan's anointment, saying that Liu had found out that the Fourteenth They roughly recounted the events from a year ago, including Mrs. Xu's statement that she saw Chu Lingxiao carrying a baby into Aunt Jiang's delivery room, etc.

Finally, she concluded in a calm tone: "It's probably true and false, less true and more false."

Mrs. Shen was still a little stunned. She was speechless all the way and seemed to be out of her mind.

The two of them soon arrived at Wanyan Courtyard.

The boxes and cages in the yard have been packed away, and red lanterns are hung inside and outside the yard. The faces of the maids are all filled with an unusually bright look.

Chu Qianchen would have to get up at dawn tomorrow morning, so tonight she and Shen went to bed early and slept on the same couch.

Chu Qianchen had never slept in the same bed with anyone before, so it felt a little novel and interesting.

The lights went out, and the room was dark. Only the black cat on the bedside opened its eyes like emeralds, giving people a cold and cold feeling in this silent night.

Mrs. Shen once again lamented that Chu Qianchen's taste in cats was really weird.

"Meow?" The black cat also stared at Shen, its green eyes shining like pearls in the dark.

Mrs. Shen suddenly said: "Sister Chen, what your second aunt said..."

Chu Qianchen said calmly: "If this is really the case, it would be better."

If Aunt Jiang is her biological mother, then even if she doesn't care about her, she still has to face her;

If she is really not the child of Aunt Jiang, it means that she has finally found an answer that she could not figure out in her previous life. No wonder Aunt Jiang doesn't like her.

That's not bad either.

Shen suddenly moved, crossed her long arms, and gently hugged Chu Qianchen's slender shoulders.

There was a warm fragrance coming from her body, neither strong nor light, making people feel very warm and comfortable.

Chu Qianchen's heart gradually calmed down.

She felt reassured and relaxed.

She knew that the person next to her truly cared about her and thought about herself.

It feels so good.

Chu Qianchen fell asleep quickly, breathing evenly and long.

But Shen couldn't sleep, staring straight at the bed tent above.

In her mind, what Chu Qianling told Chu Qianchen lingered: Fourteen years ago, Chu Lingxiao went to her hometown and entered Aunt Jiang's delivery room with a baby in her arms.

Mrs. Shen still remembers that she suddenly gave birth prematurely in the temple and was in a coma for a day and a night.

When she woke up, she only knew that the old marquis asked Chu Lingxiao to rush to her hometown first to express condolences to her cousin, explain the reason for their delay, and then asked him to hire a good person from her hometown for her. Gynecologist.

She and others rested in the temple for two days before continuing on the road, meeting up with Chu Lingxiao on the way.

If Mrs. Xu whom Mrs. Liu found was telling the truth, then in just a few days, where did the swaddle that Chu Lingxiao carried come from, and where did the swaddle that he carried out go?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Shen's heart was beating like a drum.

My throat felt like it was being pinched by someone, giving me a suffocating feeling.

She moved cautiously, turned sideways, and looked at Chu Qianchen's peaceful sleeping face. The room was dark, but the red lantern in the courtyard outside was still on, shining in a little light.

The girl's facial features looked very soft in the night, her eyes were closed tightly, her thick and curled eyelashes were thin and dense, and the ends of her eyes were slightly raised.

Even if she had her eyes closed at the moment, Shen could still picture her beautiful phoenix eyes in her mind.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Shen's heart beat faster and harder.

Her mind was a mess, like a tangle that could not be cut and sorted out.

She stared at Chu Qianchen's face without blinking, her eyes sore.

The surroundings were too dark. She couldn't see Qian Chen's face clearly. She couldn't help but raise her hand and gently touched the girl's flawless and delicate cheek, then took it back, for fear of disturbing her. Like her.

Chu Qianchen looked motionless, but actually his fingers hidden under the quilt flexed slightly, and his breathing was as even as before.

She had spent more than ten years in the military camp in her previous life, and she had always slept very lightly. She had already woken up when Shen turned sideways, but she didn't open her eyes.

That day, when Chu Qianling said that Chu Lingxiao had carried a baby to his hometown, Chu Qianchen had a vague idea in his heart.

But there was no evidence for this idea, and it could never be proposed by herself, so she pushed Liu.

She is about to get married. Once she leaves the Chu family, it is natural for a married woman not to return to her parents' home for a year and a half. Therefore, for the sake of Shiquan's anointment, Liu's mother and daughter will definitely make trouble with their aunt, either before she gets married or It was the day she returned home from three dynasties.

Mrs. Liu dared to come to her today and dared to say these words in front of Mrs. Shen, which also proved her guess that Mrs. Xu was indeed a person, and what she said should be probably true...

Chu Qianchen remained motionless. She could feel Shen's fingertips gently touching her eyebrows again, outlining the lines of her facial features...

She tried to breathe softly and long, just like when she was sleeping.

In fact, she didn't know what kind of answer she wanted to get.

She just remembered the prince's words. Only by facing the truth can she take the initiative.

At this moment, she felt the hand caressing her cheek stop.

Shen retracted her hand, then stood up quietly, put on a cloak, and walked out of the inner room.

She passed through several door curtains and arrived at the main room.

It was late at night, and the silver moonlight poured down in the courtyard outside.

When the little maid on night duty saw Mrs. Shen getting up, she quickly saluted her and kept her voice low.

"Go and call Nanny Chen." Mrs. Shen ordered.

The little maid agreed and left in a hurry.

Ms. Shen sat alone in the main room, looking up at the star-studded night sky outside. The stars were twinkling and chaotic, just like her mood at the moment.

She felt as if the truth was already close before her eyes, yet still seemed thousands of miles away, and there were still many places that didn't make sense...

After a while, Nanny Chen followed the little maid. She probably hadn't rested yet, and her clothes were the same as in the day.

Mrs. Shen sent away the little maid, leaving only Nanny Chen by her side.

After confirming that there was no one around, she asked in a low voice: "Fourteen years ago, when I gave birth to my child in the temple where I was staying, what happened during the coma?" She remembered that it took at least a long time to go back and forth from that temple to her hometown. It took a day and a night, she was in a coma for a day and a night, but there was still someone around her, and the child couldn't have been away from her for that long...

On the one hand, Shen told herself this, but on the other hand, her thoughts were uncontrollably diverging.

"Madam..." Nanny Chen looked at Mrs. Shen with a puzzled face, wondering why she suddenly mentioned the matter of giving birth in the temple.

Mrs. Shen closed her eyes, her eyes were red, and her fingers holding the handkerchief were trembling.

Grandma Chen felt something was wrong with Shen's expression and tried hard to remember.

More than ten years have passed, and her memory has become blurry. She hesitated and said: "After you gave birth to the eldest girl, you fainted. My servant was anxious, so she ran out and sent several waves of people to nearby towns. Go to the doctor."

"At that time, we stayed in a temple and were unfamiliar with the place. Everything was very chaotic..."

"My slave is really anxious, so she followed a young master from the temple to a nearby village and invited a woman who knows medical skills to come back."

"When I returned to the temple, slave, you were still unconscious, but a doctor had already examined you and given you some decoction."

"The doctors consulted and said that there is nothing serious about you. You are suffering from blood deficiency and exhaustion..."

As she said that, Grandma Chen remembered something and her expression changed slightly, "That's right."

Shen asked: "What are you thinking about?"

"When the servant brought Wen Po back to the temple, I found out that the eldest girl almost died due to suffocation of amniotic fluid... There was no doctor in the temple at that time. The Marquis said that the abbot master was good at dispensing with yellow, so the eldest girl was taken to the abbot's place."

Shen's eyes were dark. She only knew that Chu Qianhuang almost suffocated when she was born, but she was rescued, but she didn't know that there were such twists and turns.

She took a deep breath and asked, "When was Sister Huang brought back?"

"Early the next morning." Grandma Chen said with emotion, "They say seven live and eight don't live. The eldest girl was eight months old at that time..."

As she said that, Nanny Chen paused, remembering the confrontation between Liu and Chu Qianchen just now. According to the second lady's wishes, the second girl was brought back by Mr. Hou from outside and given to Aunt Jiang...

Nanny Chen's pupils shrank, and she seemed to know what Shen was suspecting.

At that time, Aunt Jiang became pregnant one month earlier than Mr. Shen. Later, the old Marquis took the decision and sent Aunt Jiang to her hometown. He was worried that the Marquis would spoil his concubine and destroy his wife. The reason why the Marquis agreed was probably because he was worried. Mrs. Shen will harm Aunt Jiang.

Nanny Chen murmured: "Madam, I can't."

"The big girl looks so much like you."

Chu Qianhuang is very similar to Shen. Except for her eyes, her facial features are similar to Shen's, at least fifty-six points similar. Mrs. Mu Guogong and the Crown Prince also said that Chu Qianhuang was more similar to Shen when she was young. picture.

In comparison, Chu Qianchen only had these phoenix eyes like Shen's.

Especially the shape of the nose and lips are completely different.

Now Chu Qianchen's temperament has changed, and her temperament is indeed 67% similar to Shen's. Even Mrs. Mu Guogong looks at her differently. In the past, Chu Qianchen's words and deeds were very petty, cowardly, meek, and had no eyes. Shen always has a half-downcast face, and no one would ever associate her with Shen.

"..." Shen's mind became even more confused.

After calming down, Grandma Chen said again: "Madam, all this is just one-sided words of the Second Madam. Most likely, they were made up to deceive the Second Lady of Shiquan Cream."

This is indeed the best explanation.

There is no basis and evidence, just Liu's one-sided words. Normally, Shen would have dismissed it at all, but now, because the thorn that Chu Qianhuang stabbed into her heart is getting deeper and deeper, she can't help but want to pursue it. , which made her have to think about whether the reason why Chu Qianhuang did those things was because...

Shen's heart tightened, she raised her hands to cover her chest, and her eyebrows knit together deeply.

Grandma Chen personally poured a cup of warm tea for Mrs. Shen and said comfortingly: "Madam, you think too much, which is hurting your mind and body. You'd better rest early. Tomorrow is the second girl's big day."

Shen: “…”

Mrs. Shen raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the inner room, his mood still ups and downs.

Yes, tomorrow is the day when Chu Qianchen gets married. As of now, no matter what kind of truth is hidden in Chu Qianchen's life experience, it is impossible for this marriage to change.

We can wait until tomorrow to talk about other things.

Getting married is the most important day in a woman's life, and nothing is more important than Chu Qianchen's wedding...

Shen told herself over and over again in her heart, suppressed all the thoughts in her heart, and stood up.

Nanny Chen left Wanyan Courtyard again. Mrs. Shen gathered her cloak and returned to the inner room.

The inner room was still dark.

The little black cat curled up on the bedside table opened its eyes keenly, glanced at Shen arrogantly with its green eyes, and then curled its head back up.

Shen took off her cloak and lay back next to Chu Qianchen. She was still restless and not sleepy.

She wanted to see Chu Qianchen again, but she saw Chu Qianchen moaning lowly, opening his eyes drowsily, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "Mom, can't you sleep?"

She smiled softly at Mr. Shen, and the sleepy girl looked a little more charming than usual, "I recognize the bed too, I'll give you some soothing incense."

Mrs. Shen had no time to object, Chu Qianchen had already turned over and got off the bed, and skillfully lit the Anshen Incense.

The quiet fragrance of the soothing incense fills the room, refreshing the mind.

Shen closed her eyes as she smelled the fragrance.

This time, she fell asleep quickly, and when she woke up, it was already dawn. The cockcrow outside was so loud, and there was nothing around her. Chu Qianchen didn't know when he got up.

Wanyan courtyard is very busy.

Hu Bo and others first served Chu Qianchen to take a bath, and then helped her put on complicated wedding clothes, layer after layer, with a red blouse and Xia pei outside.

This wedding dress was custom-made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is different from ordinary wedding dresses. It is a ceremonial dress for the princess. Both the gown and the haori are decorated with gold embroidered cloud and phoenix patterns. It also comes with a jade leather belt, jade flower knotted ribbon, jade valley gui, Jade pendant and so on.

Her phoenix crown is a Jiuzhai crown. In addition to the nine gold-wired Zhai birds on the crown, there are also a pair of golden phoenix hairpins, as well as countless other gold jewels, flowers, green leaves, pearls and green clouds, etc. , extremely gorgeous.

This jeweled Jiuzhai crown, just placed so quietly on the tray, attracted the attention of all the women.

The girls from the Chu family who came to congratulate Chu Qianchen couldn't help but glance at the Jiu Zhai Guan.

The wedding ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner. Since the morning, relatives and friends have been coming to the Hou Mansion to express their congratulations.

The auspicious time is getting closer and closer, and the Hou Mansion is filled with joy.

Shen was probably the only one who harbored a trace of anxiety that was unknown to others. The eldest maid Dongmei knew that Madam had not eaten a few bites since morning.

Not long ago, the emperor's imperial edict suddenly came.

This imperial edict was for the bride, so Chu Qianchen could only wear a heavy wedding dress and come to the ceremony gate to receive the edict.

The emperor officially named Chu Qianchen as Princess Chen in the imperial edict.

Generally speaking, the princess is officially canonized and the bride's name is added to the imperial jade certificate only after the grand ceremony is completed. Chu Qianchen estimates that she is an exception that has never been seen in the Qi Dynasty.

The middle-aged chamberlain who came to announce the edict read "I admire this" with a smile, then closed the edict and said to Chu Qianchen in a pretentious manner: "Second Miss Chu, no, we should call you Princess. This is the Emperor's treatment of the Princess." With your favor, you can take good care of His Highness King Chen in the future!”

Chu Qianchen raised his hand to accept the order, then with Hu Huo's help, he stood up and said with a smile: "Excuse me, father-in-law, please thank the emperor for me."

Chu Qianchen raised his lips and smiled slightly, with understanding and insight in his smile.

The emperor is afraid that the prince will not admit his fault!

Her smile deepened, and the smile couldn't help overflowing from the corners of her eyes and brows and the pear dimples on her lips.

Like a delicate flower, like a pearl, bright and moving.

A beautiful smile and beautiful eyes.

Even the middle-aged chamberlain, who thought he had seen the three thousand beauties in the palace, was stunned for a moment and said to himself: This Miss Chu Er is indeed so beautiful that she can be said to be the most beautiful woman in the country.

No wonder beauty is said to have a bad fate, and she is also a bad luck one.

Thinking about it, the middle-aged chamberlain's eyes couldn't help but look a little more mocking, and he said with a smile: "It's good that the princess understands the emperor's painstaking efforts."

Grandma Chen secretly stuffed a red envelope into the middle-aged chamberlain and sent all the angels away in person.

Chu Qianchen returned to Wanyan Courtyard, while Shen stayed in the main hall and ordered people to find Chu Lingxiao.

It was less than a stick of incense before the auspicious moment. According to etiquette, when the sedan chair arrived, Chu Qianchen had to come to the main hall to say goodbye to his parents before getting on the sedan chair.

Seeing Chu Qianchen's retreating figure, Mrs. Shen's eyes felt sore again. She thought of the scenes from last night countless times in her mind, and her heart began to feel tight again.

Shen felt very unhappy: Chu Qianchen's wedding seemed grand, but in Shen's eyes it was always a little off.

When girls from other families get married, my uncle comes to welcome them in person. Only Chu Qianchen's wedding was so embarrassing. Since the emperor’s imperial edict of marriage was issued last month, King Chen has never shown his face...

This means that after Chu Qianchen passes away, he still has to spend a lot of energy to win the approval of Prince Chen's Palace and the approval of all the palaces in Beijing in order to become the real Princess Chen.

So what if Chu Qianchen was destined to be a princess before getting married? !

How could the emperor's imperial edict be an honor? It was just putting Chu Qianchen on the fire. He was deliberately persecuting King Chen. If Chu Qianchen hadn't had good medical skills, she would have been caught between the emperor and King Chen. I'm afraid it will be even worse.

Mrs. Shen was drinking tea uneasily. When she was halfway through the tea, the sound of crackling firecrackers came from outside the house.

Mrs. Shen finally came to her senses and realized that the auspicious time had come.

Sure enough, the little maid ran over panting and shouted: "The sedan chair is here, the sedan chair from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is here!"

In addition to the sedan chair from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there was also Aunt Jin.

The sedan chair from the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrived, but the groom's official did not come, so no one from the Hou Mansion stopped the sedan chair, and the sedan chair was carried directly to Wanyan Courtyard.

Aunt Jin also came, followed by a little chambermaid holding a big rooster.

When the firecrackers stopped, the atmosphere became a bit weird.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on the big rooster, with complicated expressions.

"Princess, the sedan chair is here. You should go and say goodbye to your parents first." Aunt Jin also knew that Chu Qianchen had accepted the imperial edict to be the princess, so she changed her title and said with a smile, "Hold the cock."

"No need." Chu Qianchen put on the red hijab himself and walked out without any help from the maid.

"Princess!" Nanny Jin quickly chased after her and shouted, "This is against the rules!"

Chu Yunyi was standing under the eaves at the door. He didn't know how long he had been waiting. When he saw Chu Qianchen coming, he stopped him and said, "I'll carry you..."

"No…"

Chu Qianchen wanted to say no, but at this moment, a round-faced little maid ran over panting and shouted intermittently: "Coming... coming!"

"Second uncle is here to pick you up!"

Second uncle? ! The maids in the yard looked at each other, but they had not yet reacted.

After being stunned for a moment, Grandma Jin blurted out in disbelief: "Your Highness, King Chen?!"

The answer is d
