Chapter 30: The Giving of Marriage

After saying that, Hu Shishi suddenly stood up and leaned over to give a full salute to Sister Ying.

"Hey." Startled by Hu Shishi's sudden salute, Sister Ying immediately got up and helped Hu Shishi up after reacting. "It's been a few days, I'm fine, and I'm almost better from my injuries. I didn't take this to heart, so get up quickly. ”

"Hmm." Hu Shishi looked at Sister Ying and said. "I know that you are also a person who is going to have a future, and we will meet again in the future, and we will spend our days in the palace. So I'll say a few more words to you, away from that Celestia Princess. She has always been at odds with the second princess, but because Her Majesty does not dare to blatantly seek trouble with the second princess. If you are close to the second princess, you are a better target. ”

"Thanks for the reminder." Sister Ying naturally knows Hu Shishi's identity in the future, and Hu Shishi's overture, she can only smile next.

"Alright, I'm done with what needs to be said." Hu Shishi is arrogant in the end, and it is already her limit to be able to come to Sister Ying'er today to say this. "I'm leaving."

Hu Shishi came and went in a hurry, like a gust of wind.

Sister Ying stood at the door and watched her walk away, faintly envious of a girl like her. Sister Ying knows that Hu Shishi is the eldest daughter of the Liguo Mansion, and because her father and mother love her very much, her personality will be so flamboyant.

When Sister Ying was young, her mother had not yet died, and she was the only child under her father's knees at that time, and she was also the child who was once loved by her father. But when her mother was pregnant with her younger brother, she suddenly suffered a blood breakdown, and not only did her brother who was still in her mother's womb not be saved that day, but even her mother left her in the end.

At the beginning, her father also took pity on her for losing her mother. But soon, my grandfather and mother decided on a successor for my father. She watched in a daze, as her father married the newlyweds, and her father's bride was also very good to her at first. Every day, he shush her and ask for warmth, take her hand and walk around the courtyard, cut new clothes for her, and coax her to sleep.

The days passed quickly, less than two years. The bride became pregnant one after another and gave birth to her younger brother and sister.

The father and the bride were happy with the birth of the newborn, and the bride gradually became estranged from her after having her own biological child. When the people in the house saw that the mistress did this to her, they did the same.

At first, her diet was worse than one day at a time, then the ice in summer, the charcoal in winter was often short of two catties, and finally the five sets of new clothes that Fuzhong made every season became three.

In the end, the nursing mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she privately asked her mother's companion to deliver the letter back to her mother's mother's home. The day after receiving the letter, my grandmother and two aunts came to the house to talk to my grandfather, mother, and father for a long time.

She was led by her nurse and waited obediently under the porch, and as soon as her grandmother came out of her grandfather's and mother's yard and saw her, she burst into tears.

Then she was taken home by her grandmother, who doted on her, and her uncles and aunts took special care of her.

After she was brought up by her grandmother, her father seemed to have forgotten her as a child. It wasn't until her father learned that she had entered the palace with the eldest princess of Yongshou to meet Emperor Liu's concubine, that her father came to see her for the first time. Her father sent her money, precious jewelry, and clothes, and taught her that if she really had a future, she should never forget him and her younger siblings in the house.

"Miss, the sun is very hot outside, be careful of you." Seeing Sister Ying standing at the door in a daze, the palace maid stepped forward to persuade her.

"Hmm." Sister Ying came back to her senses, nodded with a smile and went back to the house.

A few days later, the dust finally settled.

The imperial court issued a clear edict to marry the prince, except for the three princes who died early, none of the five princes who have grown up under the knee of Emperor Chu are not left behind.

The eldest granddaughter of the British palace concubine was married as the eldest prince's concubine, the eldest daughter of the princess of Liguo was married as the second prince's concubine, the eldest daughter of the Xiaocai general was the fourth prince's concubine, the second granddaughter of the eldest princess of Qinghe was married as the fifth prince's concubine, and the eldest daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Industry and Rites was the sixth prince's concubine.

There is also a prince, a side concubine, etc.

In addition, the queen also gave the second daughter of the Duke of Liguo a marriage to the second son of the governor of Jiangnan.

Emperor Chu gave the eldest granddaughter of the eldest princess of Qinghe to the eldest grandson of the British duke.

After the remaining unsuccessful show girls were sent out of the palace, they were also married by their families.

The marriage of the princes has been decided, and the next step is to agree on the wedding date.

The eldest prince and the second prince are the eldest, and Emperor Chu decided to let them get married in the spring next year, and the marriage dates of the remaining three princes will be discussed.

The general election is inevitable, and Emperor Liu's concubine and the queen have begun to plan for the marriage of the two princes early next year. Xiao Xuan happily packed his luggage and followed Liu Shufu out of the palace to the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou.

Xiao Xuan lived very happily in the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou, and every day she either talked with the eldest princess of Yongshou or accompanied the horses to fish. I can sleep until three poles in the morning every day before I get up, and I don't have to worry about being talked about by Emperor Liu's concubine.

On this day, Xiao Xuan accompanied the horse to fish on the shore again, and the eldest princess of Yongshou sent someone to pass the word, saying that she had picked up Sister Ying'er to come over to talk to her.

"Grandfather, I'm going to pick up my cousin." Xiao Xuan immediately stood up.

"Okay, okay, let's go." The colt said happily.

Soon after Sister Ying's son returned home after leaving the palace, her father and the step-room came to pick her up in person, saying that they wanted to welcome her home to live for a few days.

Sister Ying didn't want to go back to the Zhao family, but her grandmother and aunts persuaded her to go back, because she was still surnamed Zhao, and she had to marry from the Zhao family on the day she got married.

She had to follow her father and step-wife back to the Zhao family, the original cold grandfather and mother treated her kindly and amiably, and the step-lady would bring her half-sister to talk to her every day, and the meaning of the words was that after she became the concubine of the six princes, don't just think about the Liu family, and don't forget to bring her younger brothers and sisters.

Although Sister Ying was impatient, she could only try her best to deal with them.

Fortunately, a few days later, someone came to the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou, and took the post of the eldest princess of Yongshou as an example. said that the second princess went to the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou to live temporarily, because there were no sisters of the same age in the house who could talk and play with the second princess, so they came to pick up Sister Ying's son to live in the house for a while.

After listening to the words of the visitor, the people of the Zhao family naturally had no reluctance, and hurriedly responded to the matter.

Mrs. step-room looked at Sister Ying, who was growing up and slim, and her heart was also sour. She didn't expect that the sick and weak girl left behind by the original partner who died early would have such good luck, and then look at her biological daughter beside her, she only hated that she was born late and didn't catch up with the good time of this election.

"Sister Ying, although it was the eldest princess of Yongshou who took you over to live temporarily, we also have to be courteous." With a smile on her face, Mrs. Steproom came over and said to Sister Ying. "I will prepare some small gifts for you to-morrow, so that you can take them with you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mother." Sister Ying also said with a smile.

"Hey, Sister Ying, wait a minute." When Sister Ying was about to go back to her room to pack her clothes, Mrs. Steproom suddenly hesitated and opened her mouth.

"Mother?" Sister Ying looked back suspiciously. "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"I thought that the eldest princess of Yongshou only came to the mansion, and I didn't just invite you to stay in the mansion alone." The step-lady said. "Can you take your sister with you to see the world?"

"Mother is still goodbye." Sister Ying'er's eyes dimmed, and she immediately said with a smile. "The eldest princess of Yongshou didn't say that she only invited me to live in the house for a while, but she didn't say that I could bring my sister with me. If I really take my sister with me, it will not be good if I displease the eldest princess of Yongshou. ”

Sister Ying said, without waiting for the step-lady to speak again, she took her maid back to the room.

In the evening, the step-lady couldn't help it, and complained to Zhao Shilang that Sister Ying had the blue eyes of the eldest princess and the second princess of Yongshou, but she was unwilling to bring her sister, and she didn't even want to use the maids arranged by her own family, and she was only willing to continue to use the maids brought out from Liufu.

"Sister Ying'er is right." Zhao Shilang, who was served by the maid and changed out of his official uniform, said indifferently. "The eldest princess of eternal life has a respected status, and she is not so good that she will be attached to you."

"I didn't think that Sister Qing should say goodbye in two years, it's easy for Sister Ying'er, who is a sister, to fly on the branches, where is there any reason not to help her sisters."

"You yourself said that Sister Qing will have to wait two years to reach the age of saying goodbye, and at that time, Sister Ying has already married the Sixth Prince, are you still worried that Sister Qing will have no good people to come to the door to beg?" Zhao Shilang disagreed. "Sister Ying has not lived at home for many years, and she is very distant from us. Don't be in a hurry to expect Sister Ying to be able to support your children now, Sister Ying has never gotten along with her younger brother and sister since she was a child, you have to let the children have more contact. ”

"I knew this was the case, so I didn't let Sister Ying'er's grandmother pick her up at that time."

"You still know this, if you didn't take care of Sister Ying at that time, and let those slaves in the house treat Sister Ying poorly, why would your mother-in-law come to talk to your father and mother in person, and ask to take Sister Ying back to upbring."

"Master, it's all my fault, you can tell me in good conscience, didn't I treat Sister Ying badly when I first entered the door?" The step-lady covered her face and cried. "When I gave birth to my brother and sister, two children who were waiting to be fed, I naturally lacked energy, so I ignored Sister Ying. What can I do, my mother's family is not in Beijing, my brother and sister are not as good as Sister Ying'er, and my grandmother and aunt in Beijing take care of me. ”

"Alright, alright." Zhao Shilang was impatient with her crying, so he simply took his coat from the hanger and put it on. "You can rest by yourself today, and I'll go to Aunt Zheng's yard to rest."

Zhao Shilang said, and went out with his hands behind his back.

The step-lady was stunned and watched Zhao Shilang go out without looking back, and was so angry that she smashed a vase.
