Fourteen years ago, I already have a vague memory, but it has become clear because of the recent repeated recollection.

Back then, she gave birth to Chu Qianhuang on the way to her hometown, and she was delayed on the road for a few days, until she arrived at her hometown, she knew that Aunt Jiang had given birth and was a girl, only a few hours younger than Chu Qianhuang.

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

Shen looked at Chu Qianchen in a daze.

Even Mama Chen's eyes widened in shock, and she said in her heart: The second girl turned out to be a maid in the outer room?! …… Then Huang Wenpo and Mama Yu seem to be able to explain their affairs.

"Chu Qianchen," Liu came back to his senses, took a step forward, and threatened in a hard voice, "Aren't you afraid that I will publicize your life experience?" ”

Liu Shi coldly hooked his lower lip, and the corner of his eye glanced at the shocked Shen Shi on the side without a trace.

Shen didn't expect Chu Qianchen to be an outer room girl, right?!

Once the secret of Chu Qianchen's outer maid came out, it would be Shen's face!

In this noble family, it is a matter of course for a man to accept a concubine room, but Chu Lingxiao secretly raised the outer room outside, which hurt the face of his wife, and others will only speculate whether the Shen family is jealous, and he can't even accommodate a concubine.

The reason why the Liu family chose to block the road at this time was to come to the Shen family.

Chu Qianchen kept saying that they were making up stories and refused to admit that she was a maid of the outer room, but what if she didn't admit it, as long as the Shen family believed it!

The Shen family has always had a good face, and she will definitely not let the news that Chu Qianchen is an outer room girl get out!

Liu was full of confidence in his heart, and said: "Sister-in-law, our mother and daughter are tight-lipped, what do you say!" ”

Chu Qianchen is now pleasing the Shen family, as long as the Shen family opens his mouth to ask for it, Chu Qianchen will definitely not dare to disobey the Shen family.

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

Liu frowned slightly, and his gaze went straight to Shen, "Sister-in-law......"

"Second aunt, who do you want to tell?" Chu Qianchen interrupted Liu and smiled, "Is it grandmother?" ”

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

Liu: "!! ”

Liu's eyes widened, and he chuckled in his heart.

By the way, of course, the maiden outside is not qualified to give King Chen Chongxi.

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

The big wedding is tomorrow, and it is absolutely impossible to cancel it temporarily, and the school-age girl who can replace Chu Qianchen in the Chu family only has her own daughter!

Liu thought in disbelief, his face even more ugly.

Chu Qianling hadn't figured it out yet, but when he saw that Liu suddenly stopped talking, he pulled Liu's sleeve urgingly.

"Why doesn't the second aunt speak?" Chu Qianchen crooked her little face, and under the bright moonlight, her smile was as bright as a star, approaching the Liu family step by step.

Liu only felt that Chu Qianchen's eyes were amazingly bright, and he couldn't face her at all.

She couldn't help but take a step back, and her body bumped into the bushes behind her, her cuffs caught in the branches of the bushes, and she flicked her sleeves in annoyance.

"Shhhh

With this pull, a big hole was torn out in the right sleeve.

Liu stood there in embarrassment, his face blue and white for a while.

Only then did she realize that she was actually suppressed by such a little girl as Chu Qianchen.

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

"......" Liu panted rapidly, his chest fell together, and his forehead burst with green tendons.

Chu Qianchen retracted his gaze, smiled at Shen Shiran, and continued to walk forward with her, "Mother, let's go." ”

The little black cat spontaneously followed, walking briskly, rubbing Chu Qianchen's skirt with her little head as she walked.

This time, the Liu family didn't stop them again, and looked at the back of Chu Qianchen leaving in a daze, his eyes flickering.

"Mother." Chu Qianling was even more panicked, and grabbed Liu's sleeve tightly with one hand, becoming more and more helpless.

The corner of the veil was blown up by the wind, revealing her trembling cherry lips, white as paper.

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

She was really afraid of Chu Qianchen, Chu Qianchen really didn't eat hard and soft.

There was a dead silence all around, except for the night breeze blowing through the foliage.

Chu Qianchen took Shen's arm and moved forward unhurriedly, she knew that Shen had a lot of questions in her heart, so she roughly told Chu Qianling about the things that happened to her a few days ago in order to ask for a perfect ointment, saying that Liu had found out fourteen years ago, including Mrs. Xu saying that she saw Chu Lingxiao carrying a swaddling baby into Aunt Jiang's delivery room and so on.

In the end, she ended in a faint tone: "It's about true and false, less true and more false." ”

Shen was still a little stunned, speechless all the way, as if he couldn't give up.

The two soon came to Wanyan Courtyard.

The boxes and cages in the courtyard have been packed, and there are also red lanterns hanging outside the courtyard, and the faces of the maids are all filled with an unusually bright look.

Chu Qianchen had to get up as soon as it was dawn tomorrow morning, so tonight she and Shen fell asleep early and slept on a couch.

Chu Qianchen has never shared a bed with anyone, and he feels a little novel and interesting.

The lights went out, and the room was pitch black, except for the black cat at the head of the bed with a pair of emerald eyes, which gave people a cold and cold feeling in this silent night.

Shen Shi once again sighed in his heart that Chu Qianchen's taste for cats was really weird.

"Meow?" The black cat also stared at Shen, its green eyes glowing in the darkness like a pearl of the night.

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

Chu Qianchen said calmly: "If that's the case, it's fine. ”

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

If she really wasn't born to Aunt Jiang, it means that she finally found an answer that she couldn't figure out in her previous life, no wonder Aunt Jiang didn't like her.

That's not bad either.

Shen suddenly moved, crossed his long arm, and gently hugged Chu Qianchen's slender shoulder.

There was a warm fragrance on her body, not strong or light, which made people feel very warm and comfortable.

Chu Qianchen's heart gradually settled down.

She felt relieved and relaxed.

She knew that the person around her genuinely cared about herself and thought about herself.

It's a good feeling.

Chu Qianchen fell asleep quickly, breathing evenly and long.

But Shen couldn't sleep, and his eyes looked straight at the bed tent above.

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

Shen still remembers that she was suddenly born 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 go to her hometown first, first go to her uncle to condolence, explain the reason for their delay, and ask him to hire a doctor who is good at gynecology for her from her hometown.

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

If the Xu Pozi that Liu found was true, then in just a few days, where did the swaddling clothes that Chu Lingxiao carried come from, and where did the swaddling clothes he took out go?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Shen's heart was beating wildly, like a drum.

The throat felt as if it had been choked, and there was a feeling of suffocation.

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

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

Even if she closed her eyes at the moment, Shen could still trace her beautiful phoenix eyes in her heart.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Shen's heart beat faster and more violently.

Her mind was a mess, like a mess, unclear, and messy.

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

The surroundings were too dark, too dark, she couldn't see Qianchen's face clearly, so she couldn't help but raise her hand, gently touched the girl's jade-like flawless and delicate cheeks, and then withdrew it, as if she was afraid of disturbing her.

Chu Qianchen looked motionless, but in fact, the fingers hidden in the quilt bent 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, but 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 taken a swaddling baby to his hometown, Chu Qianchen had a faint idea in his heart.

But there was no evidence for this idea, and she must not put it forward by herself, so she pushed Liu.

She is about to get married, and once she leaves the Chu family, it is natural that the married daughter will not return to her parents' house for a year and a half, so for the sake of perfection, Liu's mother and daughter will definitely come to her mother-in-law, either before she gets married, or the day she returns to the door in the third dynasty.

Liu dared to come to her today and dare to say this in front of Shen, which also proved one of her guesses, there is indeed a person named Mrs. Xu, and what she said should be true......

Chu Qianchen was still unmoving, and she could feel Shen's fingertips gently touching her eyebrows and eyes, outlining the lines of her facial features......

She tried to breathe as softly and long as she could, as she did when she was asleep.

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

She just remembered the words of the prince, and only by facing the truth could she grasp the initiative.

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

Shen withdrew his hand, then quietly got up, put on a cloak, and walked out of the inner room.

She walked through several curtains until she came to the hall.

Late at night, the silver moonlight poured down in the courtyard outside.

The little maid on duty at night saw Shen get up and hurriedly saluted her, her voice low.

"Go and call Mama Chen." Shen commanded.

The little maid answered her order and left in a hurry.

Shen sat alone in the hall, looking up at the starry night sky outside, the little stars twinkling and shimmering, chaotic, just like her mood at the moment.

She felt that the truth seemed to be close at hand, and it seemed that it was still thousands of miles away, and there were still many places that could not be explained......

After a while, Mama Chen followed the little maid, she shouldn't have rested yet, and she was dressed like in the daytime.

The Shen family sent the little maid away, leaving only Mama 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 a child at the temple where I was staying, what happened during the time I was in a coma?" ”

She remembered that it would take at least one day and one night to go back and forth from that temple to her hometown, and she was in a coma for a day and a night, but there were still people around her, and it was impossible for the child to leave her for so long......

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

"Madam......" Mama Chen looked at Shen with a puzzled expression, unable to figure out how she could suddenly mention the matter of giving birth in the temple back then.

Shen closed his eyes, his eyes were red, and his fingers holding the handkerchief trembled.

Mama Chen felt that Shen's expression was not right, and tried to recall.

More than ten years have passed, and her memory has become blurred, and she hesitated: "After you gave birth to the eldest girl, you fainted, and the slave and maid were anxious, so they ran out and sent several waves of people to the nearby town to find a doctor. ”

"At that time, we were staying at the temple, and we didn't know the place well, and everything was very messy......"

"The slave was really anxious, and followed a little master in the temple to a nearby village and invited a stable woman who knew medical skills to come back."

"When the slave returned to the temple, you were still unconscious, but a doctor had already shown you and fed you a decoction."

"The doctors consulted and said that you are fine, but you are exhausted by blood deficiency......

"Several doctors and Wen Po also showed the eldest girl, saying that although she was born prematurely, she had a good foundation and was very healthy."

Shen said: "The doctor said that Sister Huang was born prematurely? ”

"yes." Mama Chen sighed with emotion, "It is said that seven lives and eight are not alive, and the eldest girl was eight months old at that time......"

As she spoke, Mama Chen chuckled, remembering the confrontation between the Liu family and Chu Qianchen. According to the meaning of the second lady, the second girl was brought back by Hou Ye from outside to Aunt Jiang......

Mama Chen's pupils shrank, and she probably knew what Shen was suspicious of.

Back then, Aunt Jiang was pregnant a month earlier than Shen, and later the old Hou Ye was in charge and sent Aunt Jiang to his hometown, he was worried that Hou Ye would spoil his concubine and kill his wife, and the reason why Hou Ye agreed was probably because he was worried that Shen would harm Aunt Jiang.

Mama Chen muttered, "Madam...... The slave has only been away from you for half a day. ”

Before she left, the baby girl was by Shen's side, and when she returned, the baby girl was also there. This short half a day was not enough for Chu Lingxiao to come and go again.

After a pause, Mama Chen said again: "Madam, no." ”

"The big girl looks so much like you."

Chu Qianhuang is very similar to the Shen family, except for the eyes, her facial features are like the Shen family, at least five or six points similar, the Duchess of Mu Guo and the prince They also said that Chu Qianhuang was more similar to the Shen family when he was young.

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

In particular, the shape of the nose and lips are completely different.

Now Chu Qianchen's temperament has changed, and his temperament is indeed six or seven points similar to the Shen family, even the Duchess of Mu Guo has a different view of her, and Chu Qianchen's words and deeds in the past were very childish, cowardly and supple, his eyes were godless, and he always had a half-hanging face, and no one would ever associate her with the Shen family.

"......" Shen's mind was even more chaotic.

After Mama Chen calmed down a bit, she said: "Madam, all this is just the words of the second lady, and nine times out of ten, it is made up to deceive the second girl." ”

This is indeed the best explanation.

There is no evidence, it is just Liu's one-sided words, in other words, on weekdays, the Shen family does not care about it at all, but now, because the thorn that Chu Qianhuang pierced into her heart is getting deeper and deeper, she can't help but want to investigate, so she has to think about whether Chu Qianhuang did those things because of ......

Shen's heart tightened, he raised his hand to cover his chest, and his eyebrows were deeply caged together.

Mama Chen personally poured a cup of warm tea for the Shen family, and said with relief: "Big lady, you are thinking too much, and it hurts your nerves." You better rest early, tomorrow is the second girl's big day. ”

Shen: "......"

Shen raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the inner room, his mind still fluctuating.

Yes, tomorrow is the day of Chu Qianchen's marriage, and now, no matter what kind of truth Chu Qianchen's life experience hides, this marriage will not change.

I'll talk about the rest tomorrow.

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

Shen told himself over and over again in his heart, suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his heart, and got up.

Mama Chen left Wanyan Courtyard again, and 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 proudly with green eyes, and curled its head back again.

Shen took off her cloak and lay back beside Chu Qianchen, she was still restless and sleepless.

She wanted to go to see Chu Qianchen again, but when she saw Chu Qianchen moaning lowly, she opened her eyes in a daze, and her voice was slightly hoarse, "Mother, can't you sleep?" ”

She smiled softly at Shen, the sleepy-eyed girl was a little more delicate than usual, "I also recognize the bed, I'll give you some soothing incense." ”

The Shen clan didn't have time to object at all, Chu Qianchen had already turned over and got off the bed, and skillfully ordered the incense of tranquility.

The tranquil fragrance of tranquility permeates the room, refreshing the heart.

Shen sniffed the fragrance and closed his eyes.

This time, she fell asleep quickly, and when she woke up, it was already dawn, the rooster crow outside was so loud, her side was empty, and Chu Qianchen didn't know when she got up.

Wanyan Courtyard is busy.

Amber and the others first served Chu Qianchen to bathe, and then served her to put on a complicated wedding dress, layer after layer, and put on a red coat and a xia veil on the outside.

This wedding dress is customized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, different from the ordinary wedding dress, it is the ritual of the princess, the coat and the Xia curtain are decorated with gold embroidered cloud and phoenix patterns, but also with jade leather belt, jade flower knotted ribbon, jade valley gui, jade pendant and so on.

Her phoenix crown is the nine Zhai crown, in addition to the crown of the nine Zhai birds woven with gold wire, but also inserted a pair of golden phoenix hairpins, as well as countless other gold jewelry flowers, green leaves, pearls and green clouds, etc., gorgeous and unusual.

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

The girls of the Chu family who came to say hello to Chu Qianchen couldn't help but glance at that Jiuzhai Guan twice.

The ceremony of the wedding was carried out in an orderly manner, and from the morning, relatives and friends came to the Hou Mansion one after another to say goodbye.

The auspicious time is getting closer and closer, and the Hou Mansion is full of joy.

Probably only the Shen family had a trace of anxiety hidden in his heart that was unknown to others, and the eldest maid Dongmei knew that Madame had not eaten a few bites since the morning.

At the beginning of the year, the emperor's decree suddenly came.

This holy decree was given to the bride, and Chu Qianchen could only wear a heavy wedding dress to come to the Yimen to receive the decree.

The emperor officially canonized Chu Qianchen as Princess Chen in the holy decree.

Generally speaking, it is only after the ceremony is completed that the princess is officially canonized, and the bride's name is added to the imperial jade, Chu Qianchen estimates that she should be an exception that the Great Qi Dynasty has never had.

After the middle-aged servant who came to announce the decree recited "Qin this" with a smile, he closed the decree and pretended to say to Chu Qianchen: "Second Miss Chu, no, our family should call you princess, this is the emperor's favor to the princess, you can take care of His Royal Highness King Chen in the future!" ”

Chu Qianchen raised his hand to accept the order, and then, with Amber's support, got up, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law thanked the emperor for me." ”

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

The emperor is afraid that the prince will not admit it!

Her smile deepened, and the smile couldn't stop spilling from the corners of her eyes, eyebrows, and lips.

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

Clever smile, beautiful eyes.

Even the middle-aged maid thought that he had seen the three thousand beauties in the palace, and he shook his head, and said secretly: This second girl of Chu is really good-looking, and she can be described as captivating the country and the city.

No wonder it is said that beauty has a thin life, and she is also a blessing.

Thinking about it, the middle-aged servant's eyes couldn't help but be a little more sneering, and he said with a smile: "It's good that the princess understands the emperor's hard work." ”

Mama Chen quietly stuffed a red envelope for the middle-aged waiter and personally sent all the angels away.

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

It is less than a stick of incense from the auspicious time, according to the number of etiquette, when the sedan chair comes, Chu Qianchen will come to the main hall to say goodbye to his parents before getting on the sedan chair.

Shen Shi looked at Chu Qianchen's back as he walked away, his eyes were sour again, and he remembered the scene of last night for the first time in his mind, and his heart began to tense again.

Shen's heart was very uncomfortable: Chu Qianchen's wedding seemed to be grand, but in Shen's eyes, it was always a little worse.

When the girls from other families got married, they were all welcomed by their aunts in person, but Chu Qianchen's wedding was so aggrieved. Since the emperor's marriage decree came down last month, King Chen has never shown up......

This means that after Chu Qianchen passes through the door, he will have to spend a lot of energy to win the recognition of King Chen's Mansion and the recognition of all the mansions in Beijing in order to become the real Princess Chen.

Even if Chu Qianchen had the princess's decree before he got married?!

Where is the emperor's holy decree of honor, it is to roast Chu Qianchen on the fire, he is deliberately persecuting King Chen, if it weren't for Chu Qianchen's good medical skills, she would be sandwiched between the emperor and King Chen, and life would probably be even worse.

Shen drank tea restlessly, and when he was halfway through the tea, there was a crackling sound of firecrackers outside the house.

Only then did Shen come back to his senses and realize that the auspicious time had come.

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

In addition to the sedan chair from the Internal Affairs Office, there was also the golden mama.

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

Mama Jin also came, followed by a small chamberlain holding a big rooster.

When the sound of firecrackers stops, the atmosphere becomes a little eerie.

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

"Princess, it's time for you to get on the sedan chair," Mama Jin also knew that Chu Qianchen had received the holy decree of the princess, so she changed her name, and said with a smile, "Hug the princess." ”

"Not necessarily." Chu Qianchen put on a red hijab on himself, and he didn't need the help of a maid, so he walked out by himself.

"Princess!" Mama Jin hurriedly chased after her and shouted, "This is not in accordance with the rules!" ”

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

"No ......"

Chu Qianchen wanted to say no, but at this moment, a round-faced little maid came panting and shouted intermittently, "It's coming...... Here it comes! ”

"The second aunt is here to pick up the kiss!"

Second aunt?! The maids in the courtyard looked at each other, but they didn't react yet.

After Mama Jin was stunned for a moment, she blurted out in disbelief: "His Royal Highness King Chen?!" ”

------Off topic------

The answer is d
