"The queen is really worthy of being the queen mother." Qingli smiled and leaned back: "When I think of the queen mother's angry appearance of rolling her eyes, the slave maid wants to laugh." It's just that he arranged a greeting, which can make the Queen Mother so angry. Niangniang, how did you come up with the idea that it is good to teach slaves and maids? ”

Bingling glanced at her: "Look at what you look like, let people hear it, and think that our mother deliberately wants to be angry with the Queen Mother." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Qingli made a serious face and forced a smile: "It's a slave who has a lot of mistakes, but it's really funny." ”

"I just don't want to be angry." Cen Muning looked at the ginkgo tree in the distance, the yellow leaves, and the corners of her lips hooked slightly: "Even if there is no evidence, the anger that should be released still has to come out." The reason why the Queen Mother is so angry is that I blame me for not taking her seriously. There is such a big thing as inviting an in the palace, but she and Concubine Ying don't know. The concubine is because of the escort, which is inconvenient to disturb. And she, I deliberately didn't say it. In the same way, she knew that I did it on purpose, and it was not the same as without evidence. ”

"That's what the mother said." Bingling lowered her eyebrows: "You just made her angry, she almost lost her life." But Xinmei people have the guts, they almost died, and they dared to go back to her to serve. ”

"Xin Wei is the person cultivated by the Queen Mother after all." Cen Muning's words are quite meaningful.

"Do you use it as a precaution?" Qing Li asked a little puzzled.

Cen Muning didn't make a sound. I only feel that the autumn wind is rising, the leaves are falling, and the eyes are full of depression.

"Autumn is coming, and the princess's marriage is near. Bingling, you go and show her the things prepared for the princess's wedding. If the princess still wants to change it, she can change it one last time. ”

"Yes." Bingling nodded: "Don't worry, the slave will do it." ”

In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day.

During this period, Cen Muning had never seen Chu Peiyuan, nor had she ever seen Princess Ziyang.

I heard that Princess Ziyang entered the palace twice and asked the Queen Mother for peace, but she did not set foot in the Fengling Palace. Until last night, she was approached to the palace and was taken back to Chu Mansion by Chu Peiyuan's sedan chair.

Cen Muning can be regarded as seeing the bride.

"Compared to getting married on the same day and marrying the imperial sister-in-law of the ninth brother, is Ziyang beautiful like this?" Ziyang looked at herself in the mirror and asked her aunt who was combing her hair beside her.

Aunt Rao smiled: "The slave maid is not blessed to serve the queen's mother's makeup, and I don't know how to compare." But the princess, you are graceful and luxurious, the country is beautiful and fragrant, and the forehead is very blessed. ”

"My aunt really can talk." Ziyang looked at himself in the mirror, but he was not very happy. "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the young general of the Chu family doesn't think so."

"No, it won't." Cen Muning listened to the voice and came in, and said in a gentle tone: "My cousin has always attached importance to family affection, and when the princess enters the house, she will take good care of her." And the emperor issued a holy decree yesterday, sealing his cousin as a hussar general, he is no longer the young general of the past, and he wants to be worthy of the princess now. ”

But the princess was curious. In the future, will the queen call me a cousin-in-law, or will it be appropriate for me to call you a ninth sister-in-law? Raising his chin slightly, Ziyang's eyes were full of pride.

"Naturally, I call you the eldest princess, and it is more appropriate for you to call me the queen." Cen Muning brought a golden step shake prepared by herself, which was a triple flying phoenix golden hairpin, and each golden silk tassel hanging down was inlaid with various fine rubies. When gently shaken, the gemstone sways slowly with the tassel, making a rustling sound and shining brightly.

"Didn't the queen already prepare a dowry for this princess? It's tripled. Why did you take out such a precious golden step at this time? Ziyang fell in love with this golden step at a glance, but it was the most beautiful ornament she had ever seen.

"Those were given by the queen, and this is a little bit of the ninth sister-in-law's heart." Cen Muning took off the luxurious but plain golden hairpin on her head. Put this one on for her personally. "Ziyang was born with a flower and a moon, and this step shake is also colored by you. The palace looks forward to the harmony between the princess and her husband and wife, and adds a noble son as soon as possible. ”

"I'm sorry for you." Ziyang looked at the gold tassels hanging from his sideburns in the mirror, and had an indescribable feeling.

"It's an auspicious time—"

The inner chamberlain outside shouted with joy.

Ziyang's heart suddenly tightened violently, she really wanted to leave this palace and become a woman.

The future is uncertain, and at present, she is just a pawn of the emperor to win over his courtiers in order to live with dignity.

"Princess, don't worry." Cen Muning saw through her thoughts: "In fact, a woman's marriage is like a bet. Right is right, wrong is wrong, all you can do is resign yourself to fate. ”

"It seems that the queen mother also gambled on this game at the beginning." Ziyang's eyes tightened slightly: "So did you win or lose the bet?" ”

"Until the last day, no one knows." Cen Muning said to the Xi Po beside her: "Send the princess to the sedan chair well." ”

"Yes." Xi Po took the hijab and happily covered it for the princess. "Princess, the auspicious time has come, we should get on the sedan chair."

The group happily followed Princess Ziyang on the sedan chair. A few beautiful girls threw flower petals after the jade drive. The sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers all shows the grandeur of this wedding.

Cen Muning just sent her to the sedan chair, then stopped in place and watched from a distance.

"Do you want to go to the ceremony?" Zhuang Yanchen didn't know when she would appear beside her. "I heard that you gave Ziyang the step I gave you?"

"The concubine is borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, please don't mind the emperor." Cen Mu hooked her lips and saluted him: "The concubine will not go." Although I haven't seen my grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt for a long time, I am happy when they are happy on such a day. You can go or not. ”

"Speaking of which, you haven't been back to your hometown since you entered the palace." Zhuang Zhenchen remembered that when she entered the palace, she shouted to go back to her parents' house, and now she doesn't mention it.

"The closest person to the concubine is right now in front of you." Cen Mu looked at him with a smile, and her tone was soft: "It's great to be able to see the emperor every day." ”

"Flim Flam." Zhuang Chenchen pinched the tip of her nose: "In a few days, the newcomers will enter the palace to thank you, and you will go out of the palace with them to stay for a few days." You don't feel sorry for you. ”

"Does the emperor want to support his concubines?" Cen Mooning looked at him quietly, but there was an indescribable strangeness.

"What are you going to do?" Zhuang Chenchen knocked on her forehead: "I sympathize with you, you don't appreciate it." ”

Cen Mooning smiled and lowered his head: "Thank you, Emperor Longen." ”

Zhuang Chenchen grabbed her hand and walked towards the Qingxuan Palace: "I have picked a few cooks, their skills are good, and the pastries they make are also exquisite and delicious. Let's go, go with me and taste the freshness. ”

Naturally, he followed him, and Cen Muning was intoxicated by his warmth as if no one was around.

But in fact, she paid careful attention to the concubines who came to give her the wedding, some laughed with her, some had cold eyes, and some stared at the emperor with good eyes, as if his face was a magnet, stained with their eyes.

If it's just about his looks, he is indeed very good-looking. Even if it is cold, it also makes people feel like they are longing to get closer.

"Doesn't the emperor have to accompany Concubine Ying today?" Cen Muning suddenly asked.

"I miss you." Zhuang Yanchen held her hand and strained slightly: "Naturally, I can't think of others." ”

asked her to go out of the palace to visit relatives, and sent Jin Buyao and food, and also showed her closeness and affection in front of the concubines......

What is the emperor going to do?

Cen Muning doesn't believe that there is a good thing for no reason. I always feel like something is going to happen.

After a set of etiquette, Ziyang was already tired.

At this time, the pleasing Jin Bu Shao also became a burden, pressing her head to the side. I knew I wouldn't have wanted the queen's things.

After waiting for a long time in the new house, I heard the sound of the door opening.

"Here comes the forehead." The Suduo beside him was happy and tight, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Please say hello to the forehead." Please take the hijab and drink a glass of wine with the princess. ”

"Got it, go down." Chu Peiyuan's tone was as usual, and there was no joy.

"But ......" Suduo still had to serve and drink, and he hesitated for a while.

"Let's go down." Chu Peiyuan said again.

"Yes." Only then did Suduo lead a room of minions to retreat.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Ziyang lifted his hijab with some confusion.

Just one glance, she was stunned. It turned out that the husband chosen by the emperor for him was so handsome. Those eyes, like the stars in the sky, were imprinted in my mind just by looking at them.

"Offended." Chu Peiyuan took off the hijab with his own hands, and instead picked up the wine and handed it to Ziyang, and sat down beside her.

Ziyang was a little excited, and kept a decent posture and drank the glass of wine with him.

Chu Peiyuan thoughtfully took the empty cup in her hand and put it back in its place.

"On this day, the princess is also tired, so it is better to rest her chin early."

Ziyang's face couldn't help but get hot, and she lowered her head and bowed slightly. But suddenly I heard the sound of the door opening. "Chu Peiyuan, where are you going?"

Seeing that he was leaving, Ziyang hurriedly got up: "Tonight is our wedding night, don't tell me, you still have important business!" ”

"Nope." Chu Peiyuan stood by the door and didn't turn to look at her: "It's just ...... This is the princess's mansion, although it is only a door away from the Chu mansion, it is different after all. The princess's mansion has the rules of the princess's mansion, and Weichen does not dare to trespass. ”

"You ......" Ziyang wanted to say something, but suddenly felt dizzy, her body shook, and the whole person snapped and fell to the ground.

Chu Peiyuan heard that the voice was wrong, and quickly turned his face away: "Princess, are you okay?" ”

He hurried over to help her.

The door was locked from the outside.

Chu Peiyuan wanted to open the door again, but it was too late. What's more, Ziyang's appearance doesn't seem to be right.

"Princess, what's the matter?"

Ziyang was so dizzy that he couldn't hear what he was saying. "Help me sit down, I feel out of breath."

She fell down at him suddenly, and Jin Bu shook Chu Peiyuan's cheek and slashed across his earlobe.

Chu Peiyuan didn't have time to think about it, the person was already in his arms. "Princess, are you alright? Do you want to pass on the imperial doctor? Princess...... princess"

Ziyang didn't know what was wrong with him at all, he could hear her voice, but he couldn't see his face clearly: "I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy......
