Chapter 209: Premarital phobia
[Chapter 5, Volume 5]
Section 209 Chapter 209 Premarital phobia
Because Princess Jingrou was about to marry Gaochang, and only the fourth prince Zhao Chengmin had not yet married in the royal family, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly ordered him to marry Li Qingyu, the granddaughter of King Zhongyong, and complete the marriage after ten days. When Princess Jingrou attended her brother's wedding, she immediately married to Gaochang.
Huo Qingsong explained to Lu Xiang'er like this, and Lu Xiang'er didn't have any doubts, because her mind was on Chaoxia's marriage. There are only ten days to prepare and complete the wedding of a prince, which is too hasty. The household department in charge of all matters has just prepared for Jingrou's marriage, and has to prepare for the marriage of the four princes, and it is another scene of people turning their backs on their horses.
The fourth prince, Zhao Chengmin, as the groom, did not have the usual leisure and comfort, and was busy with his marriage. There is no other reason, after His Majesty the Emperor gave him a marriage to Li Qingyu, Li Qingyu was abducted. Between Zhao Chengmin and the Zhongyong Palace, there was no marriage custom of marriage proposal at all. Therefore, in these ten days, Zhao Chengmin will have to carry out all other marriage customs except for 'welcoming relatives'.
As for Chaoxia, it is not too idle. She has just returned to the Loyal and Brave Palace, and she has not even learned the etiquette of the palace. Now that she has to face the problem of studying and skillfully using royal etiquette in these ten days, Chaoxia is also miserable. Every day, Chaoxia is the happiest moment, that is, when Lu Xianger and a few people come to visit her. But Lu Xianger's marriage with Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao is also this year, and she can't spend too much time with Chaoxia. Especially Lu Xiang'er, on the fifth day of Chaoxia's marriage, she will also marry into the General's Mansion.
However, on the third day of Lu Xiang'er's visit to Chaoxia, she was invited by Second Lady Li to the Zhongyong Palace, and together with Chaoxia, she was invited from the palace to teach etiquette. Lu Xiang'er wanted to resign on the first day, but she didn't expect Lu Erniang to suddenly appear and order Lu Xiang'er to stay in the palace.
"Sister Chaoxia, where did the second lady invite her, it's too strict." Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia had a quarter of an hour's rest, so they immediately ran to Chaoxia's bedroom to chat.
Chaoxia is such a cold little lady, when she heard Lu Xiang'er ask, she couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xiang'er, I can see this Mama Liu every day, don't mention it anymore when she rests." ”
"Well, I don't want to think of Mama Liu's stern face." Lu Xiang'er shook her head, then looked at Chaoxia and whispered, "Sister Chaoxia, in two days, you will get married." I don't think you're happy, do you have something on your mind? ”
Chaoxia's body stiffened immediately when she was asked by Lu Xiang'er, and she returned to normal in an instant, but her head was slightly lowered and she was silent. It wasn't until Lu Xiang'er couldn't wait a little and wanted to ask again that Chaoxia said softly: "Xiang'er, since I returned to the palace, I have always felt that my experience is like a dream. And I'm going to be a princess again, I feel that this is too unreal, and my heart is very unsteady. Sometimes, I want to leave the palace, leave the Jingshi, and find a place to think about it. ”
"Sister Chaoxia, don't think nonsense." Lu Xiang'er had never heard such a weak tone from Chaoxia, and she hurriedly said in her heart: "Sister Chaoxia's marriage to the Fourth Highness has spread all over the world. If something goes wrong in the marriage, it's not an ordinary trifle. ”
Chaoxia glanced at Lu Xiang'er and said faintly: "I understand what you said, but I just don't feel comfortable." From returning to the palace to the current marriage, I have always ignored my wishes and been manipulated behind my back. In the past few days, my mood has become more and more irritable. I don't know what's wrong with me......"
"You're a premarital phobia." Lu Xiang'er really wanted to say it directly, but thinking that Chaoxia definitely didn't understand, she turned to comfort her: "Sister Chaoxia, how can this be untrue." You're the real Li whispering, it's not fake, right? The person you like in your heart is the Fourth Highness, and it's not fake, right? What a blessing it is to find your family and marry someone you like. ”
After speaking, Lu Xiang'er found that Chaoxia didn't seem to listen, and she was a little anxious, but her tone was still the same: "Sister Chaoxia, your irritability must be because of the etiquette study in the past few days." However, when you become the princess and live in the prince's mansion, you will be the hostess, but no one will force you to do anything anymore. ”
"Two little ladies, Mama Liu invites you over." Second Mrs. Li chose the personal maid ring for Chaoxia, and knocked on the door gently, reminding Lu Xianger and Chaoxia in the house that the rest time was over.
When Chaoxia heard this, she immediately got up. It can be seen that Lu Xiang'er is still looking at herself, and Chaoxia nodded and said, "Xiang'er, I remember what you said, don't worry about me." I must attend your wedding. ”
"Even if Sister Chaoxia doesn't go, I will personally come to arrest you." Seeing Chaoxia's response, Lu Xiang'er's face relaxed a lot. But in Lu Xiang'er's heart, as long as Chaoxia did not hold a wedding with Zhao Chengmin, she couldn't let go. Thinking about reminding Second Mrs. Li for a while, Lu Xiang'er smiled and walked out of the bedroom with Chaoxia.
In the evening, when Lu Xiang'er left the Zhongyong Palace, she finally found an opportunity to carefully mention the matter with Second Lady Li. But Lu Xiang'er didn't expect that Second Mrs. Li's attitude was very strange. She was very grateful for Lu Xianger's reminder, and said that she would pay more attention. But after saying this, Second Lady Li looked at her with a very strange look, which made Lu Xiang'er feel strange in her heart. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't feel the calculation and malice from Second Mrs. Li, Lu Xiang'er would have been unable to stand it and run out of the palace.
As a result, Lu Xiang'er was looked at by Second Mrs. Li for a long time, and Lu Xiang'er also saw Second Mrs. Li's mouth open a few times, but she didn't say a word. Lu Xiang'er thought that Second Mrs. Li wouldn't say anything, so she said goodbye. But just when she turned around, Second Lady Li suddenly said, "Xiang'er, if it's convenient for you, can you come to the house to accompany Yu'er for a few days." Our mother and daughter have been separated for so long, and Yu'er still seems to have a habit of telling me everything. I want to ......"
Lu Xianger thought something was wrong, but it turned out to be accompanying Chaoxia. In fact, when I heard that Chaoxia was going to marry in front of her, I thought about accompanying Chaoxia. But the Zhongyong Mansion is not an ordinary mansion, and Lu Xiang'er only thinks about it in her heart and never says it. Listening to the invitation of Second Mrs. Li, Lu Xianger nodded and said that as long as Chaoxia was willing, she would come to the palace to live.
"That's very good, then I'll arrange it, and then I'll let someone go to you tomorrow." Second Mrs. Li saw Lu Xiang'er nodding, and a smile immediately appeared on her face. Seeing Lu Xiang'er's strange eyes, Li Erfu's smile immediately stiffened, and then he changed the topic and sent Lu Xiang'er out of the palace.
On the way back to Lu's house, Lu Xiang'er kept thinking about the strange Second Mrs. Li, but she never figured it out. And when she arrived at home and saw the people in the yard, Lu Xianger forgot about it, because Lu Hong was back. Since Lu Hong came to Shangzhou a year ago, he was busy with the affairs of the newly formed compromise mansion, so he didn't run back and forth when he had nothing to do, and Lu Xiang'er didn't see Lu Hong for some days.
Lu Hong came back this time because he wanted to participate in the marriage of Chaoxia and the four princes, as well as to preside over Lu Xianger's marriage, so he took a few days off. As soon as Lu Xiang'er heard that Lu Hong was going to live at home until she got married, she happily immediately asked her grandmother to cook some of Lu Hong's favorite dishes. The brother and sister hadn't sat together and talked for a long time, and from the time they sat down until the food on the table was cold, Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong realized that it was very late.
After drinking some soju, Lu Hong, who was a little dizzy, went back to his yard to rest with the support of Xiao Wu. And Lu Xiang'er, who had studied for a day, was also very tired, and walked to her yard when the three maids cleaned up the table, ready to rest. But after entering the courtyard, Lu Xiang'er suddenly found that the lights were turned on in the room where Chaoxia lived.
It was dark, but there was still light in the room where no one lived, but the moment Lu Xiang'er was frightened, she was so frightened that even the sleepiness just now was scared away. Just as Lu Xiang'er stabilized her mind and wanted to call the three maids to accompany her, the door of that room was suddenly opened. Lu Xiang'er immediately held her breath and watched the shadow printed on the door slowly unfold in her eyes.
"Chao, Sister Chaoxia?! Why are you here? Lu Xiang'er saw the person at the door, with surprise in her eyes, but walked over quickly.
Chaoxia's face was a little unsightly, but when she saw Lu Xiang'er, she still raised the corners of her mouth and said, "When I came here, I didn't bother you when I heard you talking to Brother Hong." As soon as you hear footsteps, you know you're done. ”
"Sister Chaoxia, you came here, can you tell the second lady?" Lu Xiang'er remembered what kind of psychology Chaoxia was now, so she had to ask. Sure enough, Chaoxia shook her head and said in a low voice, "I ran out secretly." ”
"Huh?" Although Lu Xiang'er had some guesses, she was still surprised to hear Chaoxia say this. Lu Xianger has only heard of 'premarital phobia', but she has not experienced it and has not seen it. But looking at Chaoxia's reaction at this time, it was really hard for Lu Xiang'er to imagine that such a calm and cold person would do such a willful thing.
Thinking of Chaoxia's disappearance, there may be a scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the Zhongyong Palace's mansion at this time, Lu Xiang'er was a little helpless. Thinking that she would have to accompany Chaoxia back later, and leave Lu Hong alone at home, Lu Xiang'er sighed softly in her heart. Only then did he smile at Chaoxia and said: "Sister Chaoxia, I know that you must be lonely in the palace, otherwise, I will accompany you to the palace until the day of the wedding." ”
"It's fine, but I still want to stay here until that day." Chaoxia was a little interested in Lu Xiang'er's proposal, but she still thought that the Lu family was more comfortable.
Lu Xiang'er immediately patted her head and said, "Sister Chaoxia, this is the Lu family, not the Li family." You are Li Qingyu, the granddaughter of King Zhongyong, how can you live in someone else's house before marriage. King Zhongyong may not care, but His Royal Highness will definitely think that you are willing to marry him before returning to the Lu family. You don't want His Highness to worry, do you......"
"Little lady, little lady, the fourth highness has come down." As soon as Lu Xiang'er said this, the voice of the green cloud came into the courtyard. Lu Xiang'er waved her hand to Chaoxia, and Chaoxia immediately understood her recklessness, and her face turned red and lowered her head slightly.
