Chapter 16: Before the Big Wedding

In the back house of the Zhenguo Mansion, the Wang family was so anxious that he was like ants on a hot pot circling in the house.

According to the auspicious time of the wedding, the team of Huaiwangfu to welcome relatives is coming. But Mrs. Shen has not come back from going to Cixin Nunnery, and Shen Lu, the prince of Zhenguo, has not returned to the house after going to the court too early. Usually, Shen Lu doesn't like to socialize, so he takes a sedan chair directly back to his house too early.

There was a big event today, but none of the people in charge of the family were there!

Even his son Shen Zhao went out early in the morning and was nowhere to be seen.

"How is it good? You can't really marry the inferior maid in the house to the prince of Huai Wang and be the princess......"

"Mother, sit down, I'm going to get dizzy if I turn around again."

Shen Rongzi leaned back on the high-backed chair and said listlessly.

It is rare for grandmother to go to the mercy nunnery alone to incense and relax, but she takes the little embroidery lady Zhao Youling without her, she is the treasure in the palm of her grandmother. Grandmother must have been confused by the little embroidery's ecstasy method.

"Mother!"

Seeing that her mother was still wandering around the house, Shen Rongzi stepped forward and pulled Wang to sit down.

Wang was in no mood to sit, and when he hit the chair, he stood up again as if he had been pierced by a nail.

No matter which woman the emperor marries in the Zhenguo Mansion, she has to do it according to the specifications of the Zhenguo Mansion to marry a daughter. But in this half a day, no matter how capable she is, she can't make up ten miles of red makeup.

What's more, she has never been sure whether the Zheng'er given by the emperor for marriage is the-clothed maid of Mrs. Tai's Dongxiao South Courtyard.

"Mother can't just be anxious, she has to think of a way. I wouldn't really marry that inferior maid named Zheng'er to Mu Hanchi. ”

Shen Rongzi heard the news of the emperor's marriage, and at first thought that it was to give her a marriage, but when she inquired about it was a marriage to the inferior maids in the house, she was even more surprised than her mother Wang. She has regarded Mu Hanchi as her brother since she was a child, and of course she doesn't want the emperor to force a maid to her brother to be a concubine.

After Wang interrogated Zheng'er, Shen Rongzi stopped Zheng'er and interrogated him. She was sure that Zheng'er had never seen Mu Hanchi, let alone the emperor.

The emperor named the marriage, and he must have heard the queen mother propose the name of Zheng'er. The Queen Mother will occasionally stay for a while and a half in and out of the Zhenguo Mansion, and it is inevitable that she will have to wash her underwear......

"Do you want to let Wei Niang's disobedience to the decree and cause our town and government to suffer?"

"I don't dare! But if that Zheng'er just has a bad identity, and her appearance is not good-looking, let her marry my brother Mu Hanchi, wouldn't that add to his blockage? I'm afraid that if Mrs. Gao gives Brother Mu a concubine again, no one is willing to succumb to the name of a princess who is ugly and an inferior maid, and the Huaiwang Mansion will definitely be chaotic at that time. Even if Zheng'er is the princess, she can't put it on the table, and she can only let the nobles in the capital see the jokes. ”

"My daughter is not right!"

Wang sighed, threw the fan in his hand on the table, and finally sat down on the chair tired of standing.

Shen Rongzi picked up the fan thrown by her mother and rotated it between her palms, looking at the double-sided embroidered fan, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Since you can't resist the decree, then choose a handsome girl for me Brother Mu to marry. You must not wronged my Brother Mu, his ten years in the north have been too hard. finally came back, but it was such a good show. However, it is better for the Huaiwang Mansion and our Mansion to marry than to marry in the Pingjin Houfu. ”

"Then marry you!"

Wang rolled his eyelids and reached out to tap his daughter's forehead.

Of course, she knew that she couldn't marry her daughter to Mu Hanchi. Shen Rongzi is well-known among the nobles in the capital for her shrewd love of money, send Shen Rongzi to the Huai Wangfu, and immediately the people in the capital will know that the prince of Zhenguo is bullying the king. What's more, she was reluctant to send her daughter to Huaiwang's Mansion to be trained by Mrs. Gao.

Shen Rongzi stuck out her tongue.

"The prince has returned home."

Outside the door, there was the sound of a maid's report.

Shen Zhao strode into the inner hall.

"Mother, I heard that the emperor gave Mu Hanchi another marriage?"

As soon as Shen Zhao entered the city, he heard that the emperor had withdrawn the will to marry Pingjin Houfu and re-give the prince of Huai the marriage Zhenguo Mansion Zheng'er. Shen Zhao hurried home and went straight to the back hall to ask about the situation.

Wang's face was bitter and he couldn't say anything.

Shen Rongzi pulled Shen Zhao and asked him to think quickly.

"Maybe the sedan chair of the Huai Wangfu will arrive in a while. I guess Brother Mu rejected Miss Pingjin Hou's marriage, and the emperor was angry and gave him a marriage to the inferior maid of our house. Brother Mu will definitely not be able to refuse marriage this time, if he really annoys the emperor, he is not afraid of dying, and Prince Mu will also die. Second brother, why are you stunned? You have an idea. ”

"Don't shake it anymore, second brother is dizzy."

Shen Zhao brushed Shen Rongzi's hand away and circled around the room with a puzzled expression.

"Second brother, don't turn around, my mother turned me dizzy just now, and you turned around again. If you can come up with a way to turn around, my mother has already figured it out. ”

"Worthy of my son."

Wang smiled bitterly on his forehead.

Shen Zhao looked at the splendid cages lined up on the ground, this is really going to marry a girl and go out. She had seen Zheng'er and heard Mu Hanchi mention Zheng'er, but if she really wanted to marry Zheng'er to Mu Hanchi, he didn't think it was a good match.

"Mother, can you call Zheng'er and ask me a few words?"

"What else does the second brother want to ask, my mother and I have asked several times, Zheng'er has never seen Brother Mu, let alone the emperor. I suspect that the emperor listened to the words of the queen mother and knew that there was such an inferior ugly girl in our house. ”

"Alas, Rong Zi is not allowed to hurt people."

Wang's expression was solemn, and Shen Rongzi stuck out his tongue, knowing that he was indeed speaking without hindrance. The appearance and background are all given by my father, and I can't choose by myself, and Zheng'er is also a poor person.

"It would be nice if my grandmother came back, she would know whether the Queen Mother recognized Zheng'er or not. If the Queen Mother doesn't recognize Zheng'er, we can also choose a handsome girl for Mu Hanchi to send over. I can't insult the prince of Huai. ”

Shen Rongzi looked at the door with her eyes blank, looking forward to her grandmother coming back so that she could tell her dissatisfaction.

Wang asked Wei's mother to call Zheng'er for questioning, and when Wei's mother went out, Wang held her forehead with a sad face.

"Zheng'er bring."

Mother Wei walked in first and said in a suppressed voice.

Zheng'er has already groomed her head and face, and looks two points more handsome than before.

"Let me ask you, did you go to Fuxiangyuan last night?"

Without waiting for Zheng'er to salute, Shen Zhao asked as calmly as possible.

Zheng can't understand why he was asked by the masters several times today for something unrelated to Huanyi. Just now the mother-in-law took her to the embroidery pavilion to freshen her up, and she vaguely knew that she was going to marry to the Huai Wangfu. She thought that God was gracious, and the master asked her to be a dowry for the young lady, and if she mixed well in the future, she would have the opportunity to raise her identity.

A mother-in-law quietly told Zheng'er that the emperor gave her a marriage to the prince of Huai Wang to be the princess, Zheng'er began to disbelieve it, and when someone took out the wedding dress after the head and face were groomed, she found that her dress was according to the etiquette of the princess.

Now that she knows the reason for her master's questioning, she already thinks that she is the princess of King Huai, who will marry soon. The feeling of one step to the sky, is there a better future than this!

"Yes, the slave maid was in Fuxiangyuan last night."

"Who have you seen in Fuxiangyuan?"

Shen Zhao stared into Zheng'er's eyes. If a person lies, his eyes cannot be hidden.

Zheng'er blinked her eyes a few times quickly, and muttered without speaking.

"Hmmm......"

Mother Wei's voice made Zheng'er tremble for a moment, and immediately calmed down, she raised her head and looked at Shen Zhao and said wryly:

"The slave and the maid have not seen anyone, but who has seen the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid do not know."

With the girl's intuition, Zheng'er felt that Shen Zhao's question must be related to the prince of Huai. Otherwise, I wouldn't have called her to ask her when the prince of Huai was about to come to greet her.

Zheng'er couldn't understand why the emperor gave her a marriage, but she knew very well that the emperor's marriage was the only chance in her life to turn over and become the master.

Zheng'er's words made Shen Zhao unable to find a loophole. He asked again:

"What are you doing in Fuxiangyuan?"

"The slave maid is in Fuxiangyuan...... Bathing, the tub there is extra large and can put many petals......"

"Bold, who told you to go to Fuxiangyuan to bathe without permission?"

Mother Wei's angry shout was reprimanded on behalf of the Wang family. The three words Fuxiangyuan are the most taboo in the Wang family, and they don't feel anything when they come out of Shen Zhao's mouth. But from the mouth of an inferior maid, the problem is serious. An inferior maid ran to Fuxiangyuan to bathe, didn't it make it clear that she wanted to seduce the prince?

"The slave didn't dare, the slave and the maid also cleaned over there, and when they were tired, they boiled water and hurriedly bathed before leaving."

Zheng'er wanted to persuade Zhao Youling, the little embroidery girl, to take a bath, but she changed her words when she came to her mouth. If there is any other beauty, maybe her marriage will be in vain. Gu's mother is not here, no one will confront her with her, as long as she gets on the sedan chair smoothly, she will be the princess of King Huai. In the future, the young lady of the Zhenguo Mansion will also be one point shorter in front of her.

Zheng'er lowered her head after speaking, and the hairpin shook her face and flashed gently, looking shy, and she stopped talking about it, which led people to reverie.

Of course, Shen Zhao remembered the situation when he found Mu Hanchi in the bath room of Fuxiangyuan last night, when Mu Hanchi was standing next to the bath bucket, the water in the bath bucket was still steaming, and there was a layer of thin petals floating on the water surface......

Shen Zhao wiped his face, feeling that things were already clear, and he had nothing to say.

Based on his understanding of Mu Hanchi, maybe Mu Hanchi bumped into Zheng'er bathing, so he was responsible for Zheng'er, so he made it clear to the emperor that Zheng'er would not marry......

Wei's mother led Zheng'er out the door.

"What did Zhao'er ask?"

"It's not the same as we asked!"

“……”

Shen Shao was speechless by his mother and sister.

It seems that this marriage can only be like this.

"Mrs. Tai has returned home."

Hearing that her grandmother was back, Shen Rongzi was so excited that she was the first to rush out of the door. After a while, Mrs. Shen walked in with Shen Rongzi's support.

Wang hurriedly gave his mother-in-law a gift, and Shen Zhao looked helpless to his grandmother.

Before entering the door, Shen Rongzi had already told Mrs. Shen about the emperor's marriage to the prince of Huai.

"What are you all doing with a bitter face? Mother Gu, you take Ling'er to Rongrong's embroidery building to freshen up. ”

"Then I'll go and boil the potion for Mrs. Tai's eyes."

"Don't rush the eye medicine, Ling'er will go with Gu's mother first."

"Then your eyes ......"

"Later, you can make me eye medicine. I'll keep it in mind. ”

Zhao Youling has been thinking about Mrs. Shen's eyes, and wrote the formula for the eye medicine in the car, which will be anxious for people to help dispense the medicine.

Old Lady Shen glanced at Gu's mother.

Gu's mother stepped forward to ask Zhao Youling to go out.

The family wants to talk, and she is really not good here. Just now, Shen Rongzi grabbed her arm and grabbed Mrs. Shen to enter the door, and she was already dissatisfied with her.
