After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 159 Chapter 159
Although the Zhou family had separated from Shen Qingci, the night before the big wedding, they still came to Shen Qingci's courtyard.

Moreover, this time I didn't bring Shen Qingwan who wanted to come to join in the fun.

In order to take care of the royal family's face, the Shen family originally arranged a new courtyard for Shen Qingci, but they never thought of an imperial decree to advance the wedding date by nearly a month.

The progress of the craftsmen was only halfway, and the whole yard was in a mess, and they couldn't even make a living.

In the end, I had to stay in this courtyard.

But fortunately, at this time, no one cares about these anymore.

Shen Qingci didn't care, and Sheng Tingye, who couldn't resist this marriage, didn't care either.

He might not even come in person.

Of course, this is something.

It was getting dark, Shen Qingci originally planned to take a rest early when he thought about getting up to make up before dawn.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhou found her.

He also mysteriously stuffed Shen Qingci with a pamphlet.

"A Ci, I know that you still blame your mother in your heart, but...A Ci, after all, you are a piece of meat that fell from your mother. How could your mother not love you."

Speaking of this, Zhou's eyes turned red, and she wanted to hold Shen Qingci's hand.

But Shen Qingci subconsciously avoided it.

Just one movement made Zhou's eyes even redder.

"A Ci... After tonight, you will leave the Shen family. Don't you have anything to say to A Niang?"

Shen Qingci had long since had nothing to say.

But her wedding is coming soon, and she doesn't want to be so stiff, so she softens her tone a bit: "I am stubborn, and I made my mother worry a lot before, so I will go on my own in the future, and my mother will just take care of Ah Wan and A Yao. Now, you can save some energy."

She meant good things.

Unexpectedly, when Zhou Shi heard this, she thought about it, thinking that she was still angry because of her affair with Shen Qingwan and Shen Huiyao.

"Aci..."

Zhou's voice choked, she looked at Shen Qingci with red eyes, but was speechless for a long time.

Originally, she wanted to persuade Shen Qingci and Shen Qingwan and Shen Huiyao to settle their suspicions, after all, they were brothers, but since Shen Huiyao was beaten last time, she couldn't say that anymore.

After holding back all night tonight, Zhou Shi felt even more ashamed after hearing Shen Qingci's words.

Moreover, she also knew that mentioning them at such a time would only add to Shen Qingci's troubles.

So, in the end, she just sighed, "It's not easy to be the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and you should restrain your temper in the future."

"Last time in Xuesongpo, I saw that His Highness the Third Highness. Although he is an outstanding figure, he looked cold, not like someone who knows the cold and knows the heat and will hurt people."

"If he treats you badly, you must not be petty and bear with him, after all, his identity is there."

"If you are really wronged, you can come back and talk to Auntie."

"If you married into another family, the Shen family might still be able to support you, but the other party is the prince after all...our family..."

"Besides, as women, we have to learn to endure everything, let alone in the royal family."

……

Shen Qingci was listening to Zhou's chatter on the surface, but actually didn't take a single word to heart.

Because she is not a master who swallows her anger.

She only believes that forbearance and concessions cannot be exchanged for respect.

People respect me a foot, and I give back another foot. If people make an inch of progress, she will never give up an inch!
Seeing that she was not listening seriously, Mrs. Zhou also stopped talking.

She handed Shen Qingci the brochure she had prepared early in the morning: "I heard that His Highness the Third Highness was seriously injured, and he may not be able to greet the bride in person tomorrow. You may not be able to use this book for the time being, but when he recovers from his injury... It’s useful, so put it away first.”

When talking about this pamphlet, Zhou's expression was all mysterious, and there was a suspicious blush on his cheek.

Shen Qingci's curiosity was aroused, and he was about to open it to take a look, but Zhou grabbed his wrist.

She glared at Shen Qingci: "Silly girl, watch quietly by yourself when no one is around."

After finishing speaking, before Shen Qingci could speak, she stuffed the booklet into the open side, and she would carry Shen Qingci to the cage of the Third Prince's Mansion the next day.

Inside are the bride's bed sheets and quilts, pillows and embroidered handkerchiefs.

Zhou raised her eyes and looked at Chun Ya who was standing bowed aside: "When I make the bed for Miss tomorrow, put it under the pillow."

Chunya has always been a little afraid of Zhou Shi who doesn't like her.

Hearing this, Chun Ya subconsciously glanced at Shen Qingci.

It is the first time for Shen Qingci to marry together in two lifetimes.

Even though she has read a lot of scripts and dramas, but in those scripts and dramas on stage, whether it is the romantic scholar and the daughter of the daughter, or the amorous prince and the rough servant girl, all of them are popular when it comes to marriage. Once the hijab is covered on the head, the person sits in the sedan chair, the gongs and drums sound, and the heaven and the earth worship, the marriage is completed.

And no one had ever taught her so much red tape.

Seeing Zhou's exhortations, she thought it was some kind of particularity, so she waved her hand and let her go.

Mrs. Zhou called Qiuyun again, and Qiushui came over, and carefully instructed some trivial matters before getting up to leave.

However, before leaving, she handed over to Shen Qingci the betrothal gift list sent by the Third Prince's Mansion yesterday.

Different from ordinary marriages, because the emperor bestowed the marriage, and directly asked Qin Tian to monitor the day, and the time was tight, so their marriage, even Najib, Nazheng, and the date... save.

But there must be some betrothal gifts, and the people from the Third Prince's Mansion gave them yesterday.

The Shen family members were all staring at this dowry gift, and it was rare for the Zhou family to hold back, and offered to keep all these things for Shen Qingci.

Shen Qingci got married, but because of the interference of the Qin family, the Shen family didn't pay any dowry, and even took her dowry, and it made people laugh out loud when it was spread.

Therefore, under Zhou's insistence, even Shen Zhenglang couldn't say anything.

Mrs. Zhou handed the betrothal gift list to Shen Qingci: "All these ladies will keep them for you first. Later, you can ask someone to put these things into your private treasury, or dispose of them separately."

"A word."

Zhou's eyes were red again, "Aniang is incompetent, there is only so much I can do for you."

With that said, Mrs. Zhou stepped forward and hugged Shen Qingci.

She put her head against Shen Qingci's cheek, two lines of hot tears fell down her neck.

This surprised Shen Qingci a little.

However, after thinking about it, it's not that Zhou doesn't love Yuanshen, it's just that she cares more about her status as the clan's wife of the Shen family than Yuanshen.

Therefore, she, who was cautious back then, gave up Shen Qingci, and didn't even dare to send someone to Zhuangzi to inquire about or take care of her.

And in the back, Shen Qingwan and Shen Huiyao were raised by her, after all, they grew up below her knees.

She loves Shen Qingci, but loves those two siblings even more.

Now that Shen Qingci is about to leave the court, her maternal love for her, coupled with the guilt accumulated over the years, has suddenly flooded.

But, no matter how much guilt and compensation, so what?

The real Shen Qingci died of illness long ago in that cold and windy courtyard.

Therefore, facing Zhou's true feelings, Shen Qingci did not have much empathy.

"It's getting late, you should take a rest, you have to get up and put on makeup at [-] o'clock tomorrow."

Shen Qingci nodded, got up and sent Zhou Shi out.

When she thought about what she would face tomorrow, she felt her head was getting bigger.

But no matter how uneasy, what should come will always come.

Because of anxiety, Shen Qingci went to bed very late.

So, when Chunya urged her to get up, she was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes.

"Miss, get up quickly, the servants will help you to freshen up, don't delay the auspicious time."

Shen Qingci pulled off the quilt subconsciously and continued to sleep, but not everyone was as gentle as Chunya.

For example, Qin Jiaojiao.

In order to catch up with Shen Qingci, she got up very early in the morning, only to find that Shen Qingci, the bride, was still asleep with her head covered.

Qin Jiaojiao stepped on donkey leather short boots, walked to the bed, and tore off Shen Qingci's quilt: "What time is it, you're still sleeping! Your sister and I have been wandering around your yard for two Circled!"

The first time he heard Qin Jiaojiao's voice, Shen Qingci, who was still a little confused before, was quickened, and his consciousness came back in an instant.

She blinked her sleepy eyes, "Hey? Gillian, why are you here?"

Qin Jiaojiao burst out laughing, "You are married, can I not come?"

Shen Qingci propped himself up and sat up, and waved his hands: "It's not a big deal."

It's just marrying someone.

As soon as the voice fell, Shen Qingci felt that the atmosphere in the room was suddenly suffocated.

She subconsciously looked up...

Yo!
Good guy, a room full of people.

Mrs. Zhou is here, Mrs. Li, who likes to make troubles, is here, and Mrs. Liu, who has not shown much in Sanfang recently, is also here.

Not far away, Shen Qingwan, Shen Qinglan, who was usually at odds with her, and a few concubines were also there.

That's all for Mrs. Zhou, these other individuals...

Shen Qingci was confused, when he raised his eyes, he saw Mrs. Qin sitting not far away, looking at her with a smile, "A Ci."

Shen Qingci instantly understood.

This is not sending her to get married, this is clearly taking the opportunity to get close to the general's mansion.

You can see the clue from the expressions on their faces looking at Mrs. Qin and their positions.

How could Madam Qin not know about this, but she was willing to let Shen Qingci get married in a lively manner.

Therefore, when others talk to her, she responds with a good temper.

"Mother, why are you here?"

Qin Jiaojiao likes to join in the fun, so it's okay to rush over here, Shen Qingci didn't expect that even Mrs. Qin would come over so early.

Hearing this, Mrs. Qin got up with a smile and walked towards her, saying in a doting tone, "Of course I came to comb our A Ci's hair."

Shen Qingci didn't know that combing his hair was also very particular.

After she washed, Mrs. Qin pulled her to sit in front of the dressing table, then picked up a handful of her hair, took a horn comb, and combed her hair.

Moreover, a series of auspicious words were spoken in his mouth.

"If you comb your hair, you don't have to worry about being rich;
Second comb comb to the head, no disease and no worries;
Three combs to the head, more children and longer life;
Then comb to the end, fly together;
Two combs to the end, raising the case and eyebrows;
Comb three combs to the end, and wear with one heart forever.

There are heads and tails, riches and honors. "

Even Shen Qingci himself didn't take this marriage to heart, he just regarded it as an unavoidable task and a forced choice.

Even though she was wearing a bright red wedding gown and her eyes were full of joy, she didn't have the slightest bit of joy or embarrassment that a newlywed should have.

She didn't want to marry the third prince, and the other party obviously didn't want to marry her, but they were inexplicably tied together by a marriage gift.

How can such a marriage be "raise the eyebrows together" and "be united forever".

Originally, she didn't have too many emotional ups and downs except for the uneasiness and nervousness about the road she was going to take in the future, but because of Mrs. Qin's sincere blessing, she had a different emotion.

In addition to being touched, it is more embarrassing.

If Jiang Yuwan is not dead, if father and grandmother are all right.

Based on her relationship with Qin Jiaojiao and Madam Qin's love for Jiang Yuwan in the past, Madam Qin should have come to comb her hair on the day she got married.

However, the difference is that if all the misfortunes have not happened, the man Jiang Yuwan wants to marry must be a man who can touch her heart.

At that time, she should have been full of joy for her fiancé and longing for the future life.

not now.

She is not Jiang Yuwan.

It's also impossible to be Jiang Yuwan, who is full of stars and can choose her own destiny.

"A Ci, the wedding party has arrived, it's time to say goodbye to the ancestors of the Shen family."

Shen Qingci's thoughts drifted a little far.

She didn't come back to her senses until Zhou Shi reminded her after her make-up was finished and wedding clothes were put on neatly.

She has been haggard a lot recently, with internal and external troubles in her body, even if she still has a little kung fu foundation, her body can't bear the heavy phoenix crown and Xiapei.

Chunya and Qin Jiaojiao supported her from left to right.

I went to the Shen family ancestral hall one after another, and said goodbye to Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Tai, and finally Shen Wangqi and Mrs. Zhou.

Although Zhou's eyes were red, she could hold on in front of people, and she was much stronger than she was in front of Shen Qingci last night.

Just as Shen Qingci expected, he didn't want to see his third prince, so he didn't come to greet him in person.

Those who came on his behalf were Gao Nai, who was beside the empress, and Jiang He, the steward of the Third Prince's residence.

Nanny Gao is also an old acquaintance of Shen Qingci.

She is the aunt in charge of the empress, which not only represents the third prince's side, but also represents the empress' support for Shen Qingci.

After politely explaining that the third prince was seriously injured and the imperial doctor explained that it was really inappropriate to welcome the bride, no one would dare to care about the fact that the groom did not come to marry him in person.

When the auspicious time comes, the inner supervisor will display the colorful sedan chair in the middle hall.

Shen Qingci, who was dressed in complicated and joyful attire, was supported by Gao Nai, got on the sedan chair and lowered the curtain.

Eight internal eunuchs lifted up, sixteen lanterns, twenty torches led the way, a guard of honor in the front row, thirty maidservants accompanied left and right, followed by 64 who carried the dowry, accompanied by the soldiers of the Third Prince's Mansion, and rode out of the gate to ride horses.

The welcoming team headed for the Third Prince's Mansion, beating gongs and drums all the way.

It’s not lively.

From Shen's house to the Third Prince's Mansion, you have to cross Sanmen Street and Baifu Lane.

Along the way, it was already surrounded by people watching the excitement. Fortunately, the imperial guards cleared the road ahead of time, and stood on both sides as a human wall, and there were soldiers from the Third Prince's Mansion to guide and protect them.

Although lively, the journey went smoothly.

Shen Qingci sat in the sedan chair, his whole heart was shaken by the sedan chair.
