As soon as the day dawned, Shen Ruohua was woken up by Mama Xia, and the girls were busy bringing the bride's dress in, she was a first-class female official, Qi Mingrui was now also the commander of the second-grade Yu Linwei, and the queen mother specially rewarded her with a first-class order, she should wear a first-class phoenix crown, and at dusk took advantage of the welcoming carriage to go to the British Mansion.

Shen Ruohua was still tired, and whispered to Mama Xia a little lazily: "Mama, do you need it so early, won't you be picked up when you are should?" She has slowly gotten used to the service of Mama Xia and Qingmei Yaotao, and sometimes she will be coquettish inadvertently.

Mama Xia was sometimes happy and anxious at this time, and urged the girl to bring hot water, and said to Shen Ruohua: "Lady, today is a big day to welcome, where to delay the ground, the British government will send a bride price in a while, even if you don't need to see it in person, you have to prepare, and the carriage that cannot be welcomed will come soon." ”

She chattered: "There are many guests here today, even Princess Fu and several princesses have come in person, so you can't be rude." After a while, the grandmothers of the British government will come over, and the lady can't let people look at the jokes, if she is rude, she will not be picked on by her in-laws. Thinking of the days in the Marquis of Guangping in the past, she still has lingering palpitations, and like Mrs. Shen, she is afraid that the British Mansion will bully Shen Ruohua.

Shen Ruohua had no choice but to purse her mouth, and the girls helped her get up and freshen up, and sat down in front of the bronze mirror dressing table. Looking at himself in the mirror wearing a big red robe, he was still Shen's delicate and lovely appearance, and his eyes were still shining, the only difference was that what was revealed in his eyes was no longer cold and dark, but joy that could not be concealed with excitement. Although marrying Qi Mingrui was a last resort, she at least did not reject it, and even rejoiced.

Xi Niang had already prepared the rouge gouache, and blessed Shen Ruohua with a smile: "Lord Shen, the maid has put on your makeup." Her hands are soft and dexterous, and she is a grandmother in the palace who specially puts makeup on the nobles and ladies, and this time it was Queen Xu who specially sent her over to Shen Ruohua as a bride.

It took more than an hour for the bride to put on Shen Ruohua's makeup little by little, but she put on a lot of fat powder according to Shen Ruohua's instructions, and she looked different from other brides, she didn't have such a white and scary face, and it looked more natural and ironing. Xi Niang turned Shen Ruohua's long black hair into a snail bun and put the heavy phoenix crown on her.

Shen Ruohua was pressed by the phoenix crown and suddenly bent her neck, hissed a breath of cold air, frowned and said to Mama Xia: "This is really heavy." ”

Xi Niang laughed: "I'm afraid my lord has never worn such a heavy phoenix crown, many ladies are too heavy when they get married, and the nine dragons and nine phoenix crowns that the queen mother got married at the beginning are called Shen, and you have to let people get up and rest after a while." ”

Shen Ruohua's head was pressed by the phoenix crown and couldn't stand upright, and he said with a wry smile while holding the phoenix crown with his hand: "Let's take it off first, I don't have the blessing of the queen's mother, I'm afraid that I can't raise my head when I greet him." ”

Mama Xia looked at Shen Ruohua's distressed appearance, angry and funny, and said to Xi Niang: "Let's let it go first, the lady is weak, I'm afraid I can't stand it." ”

Xi Niang was also easy to speak, and took it off for her with a smile: "Many ladies have let people take them and put them aside, but adults should also be happy, this phoenix crown is heavier and more expensive, which is really a blessing." ”

The girl changed Shen Ruohua into a colorful bird and bird xia silk dress, tied a colorful silk silk, and sorted it out Shen Ruohua breathed a sigh of relief, it was still early, she sat down on the small couch, and winked at Mama Xia: "Mama, I'm still hungry, I want to eat honey osmanthus cake." ”

Mama Xia was originally going to refuse, she was a new bride, how could she just sit lazily on the couch and eat snacks, but thinking that she was going to get married, she hadn't eaten food in the morning, and after a while, her heart softened, and she sighed: "If Mrs. knows, she will have to reprimand the maid again." ”

But as she spoke, she instructed the little girl: "Go to the kitchen to bring some snacks to the lady, and then make a cup of strong tea, you can cheer up for a while." ”

But as soon as she gave the order, Mrs. Shen pushed the door and came in, she glanced at Mama Xia and the little girls, Mama Xia's face turned pale, and she was about to bow down to explain, but Mrs. Shen waved her hand: "You go and prepare, bring the snacks and tea." ”

Mama Xia was stunned for a moment, and found that Mrs. Shen's face was a little strange, unusually dignified, and hurriedly took the girls down.

Mrs. Shen said to Xi Niang again: "I have something to say to her, it's still early, please go to the Little Flower Hall for a tea break." ”

Xi Niang also knew that her mother always had something to explain to her daughter before marriage, so she retreated with a smile and went to the small flower hall to eat tea at Mrs. Shen's instructions.

Mrs. Shen waited for the girls to close the door, and then slowly walked to the room and sat down, she looked at Shen Ruohua in red, sitting in the sunlight cast on the window lattice, but her eyes were dark and unclear, she did not speak, she was silent for a long time, just looking at Shen Ruohua like that, and it seemed to look deeper through Shen Ruohua's appearance.

Shen Ruohua noticed her gaze and didn't speak, just sat quietly in the seat and let her look at herself, without any expression.

"You're not my daughter." Mrs. Shen retracted her gaze and said lightly, "Although the appearance is exactly the same, even I, my own mother, can't see any difference, but you are not her." Her tone was very calm, not the slightest excitement, only sadness, indescribable sadness.

"She has a weak and gentle temperament, because she was weak when she was a child, I only had such a child with her father at that time, I just wanted to protect her well, I didn't expect her to be so timid, so when the Marquis of Guangping came to ask for marriage, I thought that they could rely on the Shen family to regain the title, and they would definitely treat her well, and I also prepared so many dowries, just thinking that she could live a stable and prosperous life." Mrs. Shen's eyes flashed with tears slightly, "It's just that I didn't expect them to ...... If I knew, I would rather keep her by my side and find a safe and reasonable family, not rich or powerful, as long as I protect her. ”

Her tears finally fell slowly, and she looked at Shen Ruohua's eyes more and more sad: "What's wrong with her?" Who are you? ”

Shen Ruohua didn't speak, and she couldn't tell Mrs. Shen the true situation, so she could only watch her cry.

Mrs. Shen's crying was silent, she didn't seem to be expecting Shen Ruohua's answer, exactly the same person, but it was Shen Ruohua here, which may have explained a lot of things, she just couldn't face it for a while.

After a long time, Mrs. Shen wiped her tears and said in a low voice: "I only want to ask you, is she already ......?"
