Chapter 41: Dismounting

On the fifth day of the second month, it is the day of the prince's wedding, the emperor is happy, the whole world congratulates, all officials take a three-day holiday, the people are exempt from paying taxes for one year, and those who commit crimes of the seventh class and below are exempted from crime and released on the same day.

"Peony, is the prince here?"

Shen Jiayin sat on the stool, she was covered by the red hijab, clenched her hands, and asked a little nervously.

"Miss Hui, not yet."

Peony waited at the door for news, and after hearing Shen Jiayin's question, she immediately replied.

After listening to Peony's answer, Shen Jiayin did not relax, but became more nervous.

She thought that she would not care about this wedding, but when she really wore this big red wedding dress, when she needed to sit here and wait for the prince, she began to get nervous.

She even wondered, will the prince not come? Will the prince treat himself badly in the future?

Seeing Shen Jiayin's hand squeezing tighter and tighter, Peony walked in from the door, held Shen Jiayin's hand and said comfortingly:

"Miss, don't be nervous, Yan Hong has already gone to check the situation in person, you can wait patiently."

Through the gap in the red hijab, Shen Jiayin saw Peony's hand, and also felt the warmth in Peony's hand, her hanging heart eased slightly, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and said:

"Peony, what time is it?"

"Miss, it's almost the end of the hour."

As soon as she heard this time, Shen Jiayin's heart was even more tormented, she was anxious and nervous, and now she was sitting on pins and needles, like a mang's back.

According to the time given by the national teacher, she needs to go out at three o'clock in the morning, but now there is no movement outside, if she misses the hour, I am afraid that it will be troublesome.

"Miss."

Yan Hong hurriedly came in, her face was a little pale, and after she walked in quickly, she spoke:

"Miss, the prince's reliance has already set off from the East Palace, but for some reason, their reliance has been walking slowly, and it has not yet arrived."

"Really?"

Shen Jiayin's face also sank.

Yan Hong nodded and replied:

"The slave and maid also ran out to see, the prince's reliance walked at the speed of a turtle, and the slave and maid ran over and ran back again, and it is estimated that they couldn't go far."

"Grandmother, do they all know about it?"

Shen Jiayin continued to ask.

"I know, the old lady didn't speak, she just sat in front of the hall, but the eldest young master lost his temper."

"Grandpa Guo has sent people to urge him many times, but it has no effect if he urges."

Yan Hong continued.

Shen Jiayin's hand holding the red handkerchief tightened and tightened, making the originally white and tender little hands slightly red.

Deliberately delaying and pressing the hour, so as not to embarrass themselves, and at the same time convey a message to everyone that they are not in the eagerness to welcome the bride.

These practices are nothing more than to give their Shen family a disadvantage.

Prince, I accept your "good intentions"!

At such a moment, Shen Jiayin was not in a hurry, since he Chu Jingchuan was not afraid of missing the hour and delaying his luck, why should she be afraid?

Thinking of this, Shen Jiayin simply lifted the red hijab on his head, looked up at Yan Hong and ordered:

"Yan Hong, you keep watching, and report something in time."

"Yes, miss."

Yan Hong received the order and immediately walked outside in a hurry.

Seeing Yan Hong leaving, Shen Jiayin looked at the peony on the side and said:

"Peony, go get some snacks."

Since you are not in a hurry, then take care of yourself first, there is still a tough battle to be fought tonight.

"Is Miss hungry?"

Peony asked worriedly, her hands were not idle, and after a while, she filled the table with dim sum.

"Although I ate a lot in the morning, after this toss, the food I ate has long been consumed."

Looking at the dim sum in front of her, Shen Jiayin had a great appetite, and after she finished speaking, she immediately picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and ate it.

After eating a few pieces in a row, Shen Jiayin stopped, clapped his hands, and took another sip of tea, and Shen Jiayin was satisfied.

Shen Jiayin raised her eyes to look at Hou Zai's side, always stretched her neck from time to time to look at the peony outside the door, and asked:

"Peony, what time is it?"

Peony came back to her senses, and there was uncontrollable worry in her tone:

"Miss, it's already a quarter of a day."

Shen Jiayin bowed her head slightly and didn't speak, but her heart at this time was like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves.

She wanted to see how long this Chu Jingchuan would come.

The bridal maids waiting outside the door, as well as the maids who were responsible for carrying the dowry, were all scattered in the courtyard.

They have been waiting here since Shen Jiayin combed her hair and put on makeup, but they didn't expect that almost an hour had passed.

Shen Jiayin saw that they were all so tired that they sat on the ground, although this was not polite, but she did not open her mouth to reprimand them.

These people are going to follow them to the East Palace, and they will be the ones they brought over in the future, and she has always been kind to her own people.

This time she married to the East Palace, in addition to the peony Yanhong, Lian Dong Lianqiu, and the other two rough maids Yun'er Yan'er in her yard at the beginning, Mrs. Shen also arranged two good-looking maids Qingyu and Yanyu, plus two rough maids Liu Pozi and Tan Pozi, as well as errand boys Chen San and Wang Xin to her.

Chen San took the initiative to invite Ying, and Wang Xin was the son of their Shen family, and the family was loyal to the Shen family, so it was perfect to bring her to the East Palace.

And those two good-looking maids, Mrs. Shen thought that if she wanted to arrange a concubine room for the prince in the future, she could choose from these two maids, at least they were Shen Jiayin's wedding maids, and it could be regarded as giving Shen Jiayin some help, even if it was not help in the end, it would not be an obstacle for her.

Qingyu and Yanyu are indeed good, one has clear eyebrows and a pure face, the other has affectionate eyes, and the pair of Danfeng eyes seem to be able to hook away people's souls.

Both of them are fifteen or sixteen years old, younger than Shen Jiayin, and it was a good time for them.

Look at the dowry that his mother prepared for him, just the dowry strip is written in a long way, and it is no exaggeration to say that if you completely open the strip, you can walk around the Shen Guogong Mansion.

It includes the things given by the emperor and the queen, as well as the things sent by the queen mother, and there are the heads, clothes, and fabrics that Mrs. Shen has been preparing for Shen Jiayin in the past few years, and there are also new head clothes and fabrics that have been purchased in the past few days, and even the clothes and fabrics of these wedding maids, maids, and mothers-in-law have also been prepared several boxes.

The full three hundred and sixty-one dowries are already the specifications of the princess at the top when she got married, and the red makeup of ten miles is like this.
