Chapter 279: Tea Ceremony
After just two years of waiting, his father died of illness again, and he had to keep filial piety for three more years. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
During the filial piety period, she was already twenty years old, and at that time, she was the oldest of the unmarried ladies in Kyoto.
originally thought that he would be able to get married if he could see the moon and see the moon, but less than half a month before he got married, the groom rode a horse and hunted, and the horse went crazy and fell to his death.
At that time, it was rumored all over Kyoto that she was a hard husband and that she would not be able to marry in this life.
The old princess felt sorry for her sister, and she knew that her life was short, so she secretly found someone to match her and the old prince.
When she was dying, the first princess entrusted the princess to the old princess, and begged the old princess to marry the old princess.
The old prince only loved the first princess in his life, she died of illness, he didn't plan to marry again, but the first princess begged bitterly, how could the old prince bear her to die without turning a blind eye, so he agreed.
After the old princess entered the door, she was really good to the prince, regarded it as her own, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter to the old princess.
The daughter was weak and died of illness when she was six years old.
The other two sons, that is, the current third and fourth masters.
In Prince Xuan's Mansion, it can be seen that the status of the old princess, except for the princess and Chu Muyuan, it is estimated that no one dares to give the old princess a bad feeling.
Because the princess didn't come, Shen Yue and Chu Muyuan stepped forward to greet everyone, but they didn't offer tea.
In the room, there was talk and laughter, praising Shen Yue's beauty, hoping that she would open up the princess as soon as possible, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
But this atmosphere of harmony lasted less than a quarter of an hour.
The maid went to urge the princess, and soon came back, and said, "The princess is not feeling well, so she will not come, let the princess serve tea, and then go to see her in the courtyard." ”
"Not feeling well?" The old princess frowned slightly, "At the wedding banquet yesterday, I heard the maid say that her face was pale, isn't she sick?" ”
The fourth lady said, "Aren't you tired and sick from preparing for the wedding banquet these days?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Gu played with the embroidered handkerchief in her hand and said, "Don't be hit by something." ”
Shen Yue's heart skipped a beat.
The old princess looked at Concubine Gu and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Concubine Gu said with a smile, "Xi Po sent Yuanpa to the Wuyuan Courtyard, just so my maid saw it, so I asked more, Yuanpa was clean, and last night, the princess's maid washed the wedding dress, how could anyone let the maid wash the wedding dress on the night of candles in the cave room, whose wedding dress was not washed after returning to the door?" ”
Yuanpa is clean and clean, which means that there is no round house, and for women, it is only inconvenient to perform the Zhou Gong ceremony in those days.
Coupled with the rush to wash the wedding dress, the result is obvious.
The old princess's face changed at that time, and she was about to speak, when the prince looked at Shen Yue and said, "Since the princess is not feeling well, you can go and give her tea in a while, and bring her a pulse by the way." ”
Shen Yue hurriedly responded, he was very grateful in his heart, but it was still a little weird, and the voice of the prince sounded a little familiar.
The prince snorted, glanced at Chu Muyuan again, and said, "Let's make tea." ”
Yuanpa's matter was reversed.
The maid brought the futon, Shen Yue and Chu Muyuan first gave tea to the old princess and gave a meeting gift, and then the old princess rewarded Shen Yue with a jade bracelet.
I have respected the old princess, and then I have respected the prince.
The prince rewarded Shen Yue with a pair of jade ruyi.
After that, it was the side concubine, and Shen Yue didn't kneel anymore and gave a meeting gift.
The things sent are all decent, and they are prepared with the help of the fourth wife, for the people in Prince Xuan's Mansion who are used to seeing good things, they are not rare at all, they can only be regarded as passable.
I paid tribute to the side concubine, and then there were three masters and three wives, and then four masters and four wives.
After that, it was the young master and the girl of the palace, there was no need to serve tea, but each of them prepared a meeting gift.
The third master is six years younger than the prince, and the fourth master is eight years younger, and the little master and girl they produced are not very old, and the things they send are exquisite, and they are all very happy.
However, Chu Yuanrou, the eldest girl from Concubine Gu, is not so easy to please.
I took a few glances at the things I sent, and as soon as the prince left, I threw them to the maid.
As if provocative, he lost it in front of Shen Yue, and Shen Yue saw it, but his face did not change, and his smile was still the same.
Concubine Gu is the sister of Chongzu Hou, it is strange that she can have a good face for herself, things are given to her, and she doesn't care whether people throw them away or throw them away.
The prince was gone, Chu Muyuan took Shen Yue's hand and said, "Let's go to the Wuyuan Courtyard to serve tea to the concubine." ”
Shen Yue's face was slightly red, but he didn't break away from Chu Muyuan's clenched hand.
It's just that as soon as she turned around, Concubine Gu smiled and said, "I heard that the Shen family was lively yesterday, and the third girl of the Shen family fainted in public, and the doctor checked the pulse, and she was ...... two months pregnant." ”
Shen Yue's face froze, his footsteps froze, and he almost didn't fall.
Yesterday, when she heard Shen Qi gagging and suddenly ran out, she felt that there was a lot of excitement to watch.
Before, in the Xingyang Hou Mansion, Shen Qi drugged her, and she changed two cups of tea, she saw Shen Qi drink it with her own eyes, but nothing happened, and she suspected that she might be pregnant at that time.
That kind of aphrodisiac will not be effective for pregnant people, but she couldn't believe it at the time.
Yesterday, she got married, and the incense she used was specially made, and there was a taste of incense in it, which was pleasant for ordinary people to smell, but pregnant people smelled it and vomited more than once.
She was sure that Shen Qi was pregnant, and there was a lot of excitement to see.
But she didn't expect the excitement to come so quickly, which caught her off guard.
Although she has a very poor relationship with Shen Qi, and even has a grudge, she is the daughter of the Shen family, her cousin, unmarried and pregnant, and at her wedding banquet, everyone knows it, not only losing the face of the Shen family, but also smearing a handful of dust on her face.
Especially since she didn't have a round room last night, Yuanpa was clean, and outsiders were afraid that they would think that she and Chu Muyuan had already ......
Pregnancy before marriage was not a good thing in ancient times.
Shen Yue's face was as red as blood.
Chu Muyuan looked at her, looked back at Concubine Gu, and smiled, "That prince is here to congratulate the prince of Chongzu Hou on his arrival." ”
After speaking, he pulled Shen Yue and left.
Behind her, Concubine Gu frowned, and the fourth wife wondered, "What does the prince mean by this?" ”
Chongzu Hou Shizi Ming'er married a wife, and he married the four girls of the Shen family, they all knew it, but where did the three joys come from, weren't they chatting about the fact that the third girl Shen was pregnant, how could it involve the son of Chongzu Hou, this ......
Thinking of something, Mrs. Fourth opened her mouth in shock.
The ...... that Miss Shen San was pregnant with Could it be the child of the son of the Emperor Hou Shizi?
Two daughters-in-law, plus a child, aren't they exactly three joys?
When he went out, Shen Yue looked at Chu Muyuan, "Did you already know?" ”
Chu Muyuan hummed lightly.
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Shen Yue asked.
