150 wedding(2/3)
Chu Qianchen was still motionless. She could feel Shen's fingertips gently touching her eyebrows and eyes, outlining the lines of her facial features...
She tried her best to breathe softly and long, just like when she was sleeping.
In fact, she didn't know what kind of answer she wanted.
She just remembered the prince's words, and only by facing the truth can she take the initiative.
At this moment, she felt the hand that gently stroked her cheek stop.
Shen took back his hand, then quietly got up, put on a cloak, and walked out of the inner room.
She walked through several curtains and arrived at the main hall.
It was late at night, and in the courtyard outside, silver moonlight poured down.
When the little maid on the night saw Shen get up, she hurriedly saluted her, her voice softly.
"Go and call Madam Chen." Shen ordered.
The little maid answered her order and left in a hurry.
Shen sat alone in the main hall, looking up at the starry night sky outside. The stars flashed and mixed, just like her mood at the moment.
She felt that the truth seemed to be near, and it seemed to be thousands of miles apart, and there were still many places that could not be explained...
After a while, Madam Chen followed the little maid. She probably hadn't stopped yet, and her clothes were just like during the day.
Mrs. Shen sent the little maid away, leaving only Madam Chen by her side.
After confirming that there was no one around, she asked in a low voice: "Fourteen years ago, what happened during the period of coma when I gave birth to a child in the temple where I was boarding?"
She remembered that it took at least one day and one night to travel from that temple to her hometown. She was unconscious for a day and one night, but there was still someone around her, and the child could not have left her for so long...
On the one hand, Shen told herself this, but on the other hand, her thoughts were uncontrollably radiating.
"Madam..." Madam Chen looked at Shen with confusion, unable to understand why she suddenly mentioned the birth of her in the temple.
Shen closed his eyes, his eyes turned red, and his fingers holding the veil were trembling.
Madam Chen felt that Shen’s expression was wrong and tried hard to recall it.
More than ten years have passed, and her memory has become blurred. She hesitated: "After you gave birth to a big girl, you fainted. I was anxious and ran out and sent a few waves of people to the nearby town to find a doctor."
"At that time, we stayed in temples, and we were not familiar with the place, and everything was very messy..."
"I am really anxious. I followed a little master in the temple to a nearby village and invited a Wenwo who knows medical skills to come back."
"When I returned to the temple, you were still in a coma, but a doctor had already shown it to you and also fed the medicine."
"The doctors consulted and said, "You are nothing serious, you are exhausted because of blood deficiency..."
"Several doctors and the wife of the woman also showed it to the eldest girl, saying that although she had a premature birth, she had a good foundation and was very healthy."
Shen said, "The doctor said, Sister Huang was born prematurely?"
"Yes." Madam Chen sighed, "It's said that she will not live, and the eldest girl was eight months old at that time..."
As he said that, Madam Chen skipped a beat, remembering the confrontation between Liu and Chu Qianchen just now. According to the second wife's intention, Madam Chen brought the second girl back from outside and gave it to Aunt Jiang...
Madam Chen's pupils shrank, and she knew in her heart what Shen was suspected.
Back then, Aunt Jiang became pregnant a month earlier than Shen, and later the old Marquis took charge and sent Aunt Jiang to his hometown. He was worried that the Marquis would devour his concubine and destroy his wife, but the reason why the Marquis agreed was probably because he was worried that Shen would harm Aunt Jiang.
Madam Chen murmured, "Madam... I have only left you for a long time."
Before she left, the baby girl was beside Shen, and after she came back, the baby girl was also there. This short half day was not enough for Chu Lingxiao to go back and forth.
After pausing, Madam Chen said again: "Madam, I won't."
"The big girl looks so much like you."
Chu Qianhuang is very similar to Shen. In addition to her eyes, her facial features are all similar to Shen, at least 50% or 60 points. Mrs. Mu and the prince also said that Chu Qianhuang was more similar to Shen when she was a child.
In contrast, Chu Qianchen only has these phoenix eyes that look like Shen.
Especially the shape of the nose and lips is completely different.
Now Chu Qianchen's temperament has changed, and his temperament is indeed similar to Shen's. Even Duke Mu's wife looked at her a little differently. In the past, Chu Qianchen's words and deeds were very petty, cowardly and gentle, with a dull eyes, and always half-hung his face. No one would ever associate her with Shen's.
"..." Shen's mind became even more confused.
After calming down, Madam Chen calmed down and said, "Madam, all this is just a one-sided statement from the second lady. It is probably made of the ten-full ointment to deceive the second girl."
This is indeed the best explanation.
Without evidence, it was just a one-sided statement from Liu. In daily life, Shen was disdainful. But now, because Chu Qianhuang had pierced the thorn in her heart, she couldn't help but want to pursue it, forcing her to wonder if the reason why Chu Qianhuang did those things was because...
Shen's heart tightened, raised his hand to cover his chest, and his eyebrows were even more deeply trapped together.
Madam Chen personally poured a cup of warm tea for Shen and comforted him: "Madam, you are thinking too much, it hurts your mind and your body. You might as well take a break earlier. Tomorrow is the day for the second girl to be happy."
Shen: “…”
Shen raised his eyes and looked towards the inner room, his mood still fluctuated.
Yes, tomorrow is the day when Chu Qianchen gets married. Now, no matter what truth is hidden in Chu Qianchen's life experience, this marriage will never change.
Let’s talk about other things tomorrow after waiting.
Marriage is the most important day in a woman's life, and nothing is more important than Chu Qianchen's wedding...
Shen told himself over and over again, suppressing the thoughts in his heart and getting up.
Madam Chen left Wanyan Courtyard again, Shen closed her cloak and returned to the inner room.
The inner room is still a dark piece.
The little black cat curled up on the bedside table opened his eyes keenly, looked at Shen proudly with her green eyes, and curled her head back.
Shen took off her cloak and lay back next to Chu Qianchen. She was still restless and had no sleepiness.
She wanted to see Chu Qianchen again, but saw Chu Qianchen moaning softly, and opened her eyes in a daze, her voice slightly hoarse, "Mother, can't you sleep?"
She smiled softly at Shen, and the sleepy girl was more cute than usual, "I recognize the bed, I'll give you some scent."
Shen had no time to object. Chu Qianchen had already turned over and got off the couch and lit Anshen Xiang skillfully.
The quiet fragrance of Anshen fragrance spreads through the room, refreshing the heart.
Mrs. Shen closed her eyes as she smelled the fragrance.
This time, she fell asleep quickly. When she woke up, it was dawn. The rooster crowing outside was so loud, and her side was empty, and Chu Qianchen stood up at some point.
Wanyan's courtyard is busy.
Humber and others first served Chu Qianchen to take a bath, and then served her to wear complex wedding dresses, layer after layer, with a big red shirt and a shiny cape on the outside.
This wedding dress is customized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Unlike ordinary wedding dresses, it is a ritual of the princess. The big shirt and shiny robe are decorated with gold embroidered cloud phoenix patterns, and is also equipped with jade leather belts, jade flowers, jade gugui, jade pendants, etc.
Her phoenix crown is the Jiuzhai crown. In addition to the nine Zhai birds made of gold wire, she also has a pair of golden phoenix hairpins, as well as countless other gold jewelry and jewelry flowers, green leaves, pearls and clouds, etc., which are extremely gorgeous.
This jewel-like Jiu Zhai Guan just placed it quietly on the tray, which attracted the attention of all women.
The Chu girls who came to congratulate Chu Qianchen couldn't help but look at Jiu Zhai Guan twice.
The wedding ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner. From the morning, relatives and friends came to the Hou's mansion to congratulate him one after another.
As the auspicious time is getting closer, the Hou Mansion is filled with joy.
Perhaps only Shen had a trace of anxiety hidden in his heart that was unknown to others. The eldest maid Dongmei knew that his wife had not eaten a few bites since the morning.
Before the beginning, the emperor's imperial decree suddenly came.
This imperial edict was given to the bride, and Chu Qianchen could only come to the ritual gate to receive the imperial edict in his heavy wedding dress.
The emperor officially conferred Chu Qianchen as Princess Chen in the imperial edict.
Generally speaking, it is necessary to formally enthrone the princess after the ceremony is completed and the bride's name is added to the imperial jade certificate. Chu Qianchen estimated that she should be an exception that the Great Qi Dynasty had never seen before.
After the middle-aged eunuch who came to announce the imperial eunuch with a smile, he closed the imperial eunuch and pretended to say to Chu Qianchen: "Miss Chu, no, our family should call you a princess. This is the emperor's favor for the princess. You can take good care of His Highness Chen in the future!"
Chu Qianchen raised his hand to receive the order, then with Amber's support, he stood up and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, father-in-law, thanking the emperor for me."
Chu Qianchen raised his lips slightly and smiled, with insight and insight in his smile.
The emperor is afraid that the prince will not admit his conscience!
Her smile became deeper, and her smile couldn't help but overflow from the dimples on the corners of her eyes, eyebrows and lips.
Like a delicate flower, like a pearl, bright and charming.
A clever smile and a beautiful eye.
Even the middle-aged eunuch thought he had seen the three thousand beauties in the palace, and shook his mind, and said: This second girl Chu is indeed very beautiful, and she is so beautiful.
No wonder she is so lucky that she is also a beauty.
Thinking of the middle-aged eunuch's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little more ridiculed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "It's good that the princess understands the emperor's hard work."
Madam Chen secretly stuffed a red seal to the middle-aged eunuch and personally sent all the angels away.
Chu Qianchen returned to Wanyan Courtyard, while Shen stayed in the main hall and ordered someone to find Chu Lingxiao.
It was less than a stick of incense before the auspicious time. According to the etiquette, when the sedan chair arrived, Chu Qianchen had to come to the main hall to say goodbye to his parents first.
