The two servants raised the curtain of the inner chamber high, and a few people in the back came in carrying a large spring stool, on which lay a man who was also dressed in a bright red wedding dress.

This is Li Ling, right? Du Mingjing's heart trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to pass.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li, who was following behind, hurriedly stepped forward and held her down, and said, "You sit down, it's not yet an hour, it's unlucky to go down to the ground like this!" ”

Du Mingjing's lips were pursed, and he didn't say anything, so he sat back again.

When others get married, the banquet in front of them usually has to be noisy until midnight, and the groom gets up when he returns to the room. How can it be like yourself, I'm afraid it's not dark outside......

Du Ming sat quietly and distractedly, watching a group of people put Li Ling on the happy bed, surrounding him, fetching water to wipe his face, serving tea and feeding medicine, like an outsider, watching all this blankly.

After a long time, the group of people waited for Li Ling properly, and they all dispersed.

Mrs. Li came over and saw Du Mingjing's expression, frowned, and reproached in a low voice: "On the day of great joy, what do you do with a sad face?" She turned her head to look at her son, walked to Du Mingjing's approach and said, "The people around Ling'er are used to serving, you and the people you bring just take care of yourself, and you don't have to meddle in Ling'er's affairs." ”

Du Mingjing remembered that the night before her wedding, her aunt easily begged her father to come and see her secretly, the mother and daughter cried, and the aunt told her a lot of mixed words.

"I can see through your wife's thoughts about you. Even your father, I didn't understand it until today...... In the future, you can't count on this house. When I arrived at Shangshu Mansion, I was a filial daughter-in-law. My uncle is sick, and there are also benefits to being sick. You have been serving him for a few years, and if it really doesn't work, at least his father and mother can remember you for some good...... No matter what, my uncle is also the third master of Shangshu Mansion, and there are still three catties of nails in the rotten boat, you serve him well, keep the festival well, and his family will always have a bowl of rice for you. ”

Thinking of this section, Du Ming said to Mrs. Li earnestly: "Mother, I married because I wanted to serve my husband well. You told me to watch from the sidelines, and it really scared me. At first, these days, I didn't understand, so I was diligent in learning from the mothers and sisters in the Xianggong housing, and when I was familiar with it, you would let me serve the Xianggong. ”

When Mrs. Li heard her words, she was a little surprised in her heart. Her son was terminally ill, and she had to be served by someone to eat, drink, and Lazar, and she was a little afraid that her daughter-in-law would dislike her son. From this point of view, concubines also have the benefits of concubines.

She nodded, gave a few more commands, and walked away.

In the middle of the night, Du Mingjing, who was asleep on the big kang near the window, heard movement on the other side of the bed, so he put on his clothes and got out of bed. It turned out that Li Ling was going to take medicine again.

She walked over and saw a gentle-looking maid feeding Li Ling medicine spoonful by spoonful. Li Ling's face was like gold paper, his lips were pale, and he looked like he was dying soon.

Du Ming was stunned and whispered to the maid, "Let me feed it." ”

The maid hesitated for a moment, Li Ling slowly opened her eyes and asked, "You, who are you?" As he said a few words, it seemed that he had exhausted all his strength.

Du Mingjing quietly snatched the medicine bowl from the maid's hand, sat down next to Li Ling, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, I am Mingjing, today is the day when the two of us get married." Let me serve you from now on! ”

Li Ling's chest rose and fell, and an unhealthy flush appeared on his face. He gasped for a while before he asked, "What about Mingzhu?" ”

Du Mingjing stirred the medicine in the porcelain bowl with a spoon, scooped a spoonful, blew it with her red lips, and handed it to Li Ling's mouth. While feeding the medicine, she smiled and said, "My sister heard that Xianggong was sick, but somehow she didn't want to......"

Li Ling closed his eyes and let the spoon stay on his lips. After a long time, he opened his mouth and drank the decoction from the spoon.

Soon after Du Mingjing got married, the middle door of Du's mansion was opened on this day, and the team sent by the palace to send gifts to Princess Jin was ushered in. Although the entire Yushu Hutong has been cleaned, the outside of the Hutong is still crowded with people who come to see the excitement.

Xu Xing, the Duke of Dingguo, and Ren Lang, the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Rites, followed the ceremonial officials who were holding the grain pattern jade gui and the Xuanqi two-color cloth into the Du family.

At this moment, because of the identities of the principal and deputy envoys, the Du family and all the people outside who watched the excitement had a real feeling that the second lady was really going to fly on the branches and become a phoenix.

In the Qianqing Palace, Chen Yuantai had just changed into the auspicious clothes he was wearing when the ceremony was held, and was about to go to the small Buddha hall in the side hall, but was blocked by Princess Anping at the door.

"Father, I'm going to get married in more than a month, who will I use when I get married, can you arrange it?"

Chen Yuantai said with a smile: "The queen and I sent you out of the palace, do you think such a candidate is okay?" ”

An Ping said angrily: "You know that what I said is not this!" She moved around and walked to Chen Yuantai, took his arm and said: "Today, Chen Xi sent a gift for acceptance, and he used the Dingguo Gong and the Ministry of Rites. ”

Chen Yuantai frowned and said: "You are a girl's family, and you are sent by a foreign woman when you get married, how can an official send it?" When the time comes, I will order the Duchess of the Kingdom and the Lady of Shoufu to send it, that is. ”

An Ping crossed his fingers and thought about it, and said unhappily: "Mrs. Shoufu is not a child and daughter, it is not a complete blessing, not good!" ”

"Then what do you want, can it be that you still ask the queen to send it?" Chen Yuantai's tone was slightly responsible.

An Ping pouted and muttered, "You think so well for Chen Xi, why am I so perfunctory?" I'm still your own! ”

Chen Yuantai's face changed, and he reproached: "Eighteen or nineteen-year-old people, why are they still so ignorant? I don't want to hear it a second time! Go back and think for yourself! ”

Anping retreated aggrievedly, and took people to the Imperial Garden angrily, but met Deng Wenjiao by the Royal Lake. She was sitting on a big rock by the lake, hatefully tearing a spring flower in her hand.

"What a spicy little lady who destroys flowers!" An Ping sat next to Deng Wenjiao, picked up a bunch of flowers beside her, and tore them up.

Deng Wenjiao gave An a perfunctory salute and sat down with a depressed face.

Seeing that she was not in a high mood, An Ping smiled and said, "Who messed with you again?" ”

Deng Wenjiao was about to open her mouth, but her eyes turned red first. "It's all over today...... There is no room for the marriage of the King of Jin to turn around......"

"At the beginning, I said that I wanted you to go to Chen Xi more, but you didn't work hard, who is to blame now?" An Ping rolled his eyes, feeling that Deng Wenjiao was too hypocritical.

"Why didn't I go!" Deng Wenjiao had a strong temperament, endured tears, and then said, "At that time, even my father said that King Jin was not enlightened, and it was an elm head!" Who knew that he would become so fast when he arrived in the capital! No matter how good he was when he was in Shaanxi, there was no sinister and cunning slut like Du Mingxin! ”
