The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 278 Going back to the mansion
Bai Zhi chatted with Yin Tan for a while, then went back to the room to take a lunch break.

Big wedding tomorrow...

She must recharge her batteries.

The next day, at the seventh watch, Bai Zhi was woken up by Yin Tan, Su Zhu and the others, and she washed up and put on bridal makeup.

Although Bai Zhi had a good rest all afternoon, she still felt very sleepy after waking up so early, so that the whole process was completed in a sleepy, half-asleep state.

Fortunately, the maids and women who serve are very gentle, even if they open their faces, it is only symbolic.

At dawn, Bai Zhi's bridal makeup was already fully dressed.

"Miss, it's time to get on the sedan chair."

Yin Tan whispered from the side.

After all, we are in the Duke's Mansion and cannot enter the bridal chamber directly.

Therefore, their plan was for Bai Zhi to dress up properly, and then take a sedan chair to Shen Changyan's other private residence named Bai Zhi, and then the Shen family would go to the sedan chair to welcome the bride.

Bai Zhi nodded and sighed: "Okay, I, a rootless person, will finally have roots when I get married."

In a word, Yin Tan burst into tears.

The young lady is also a miserable person. Fortunately, she met the Shen family and will only have happiness for the rest of her life.

When Bai Zhi heard the movement, she knew that she felt sorry for her, so she pretended to be okay and smiled.

"I didn't cry, you did."

The sedan chair was being carried towards the gate when the Queen's sedan chair also came.

So the bearers of the Baizhi sedan chair hurriedly gave way, they all recognized the royal bright yellow sedan chair.

Seeing this, the queen lifted the curtain of the sedan chair curiously, and asked doubtfully, "Is this the bride's sedan chair? Where is it going to be carried?"

Yin Tan hurriedly saluted and replied: "Our lady is getting married today, it is not easy to transfer from this courtyard to that courtyard, the Duke and Madam discussed, the bride's sedan chair will be carried to the other courtyard under the name of the lady, and the son will go to greet the bride."

The queen naturally knew about Bai Zhi's situation. She had been expelled from the Bai family a long time ago, and now the Bai family has also been sealed off, leaving many dead and injured.

She sympathized with Bai Zhi very much, and sighed: "I didn't expect this, alas, how about this, let the Lord Xianghe go back to the palace with me, and get married from the palace. Marry once in a lifetime, how can you be wronged? What's more, Xianghe County Although the Lord is a woman, she does not give way to a man, not only has healed the emergency of the emperor and the prince, but also has made great contributions to the country and the people."

As soon as these words came out, Yin Tan instantly petrified, and she couldn't believe that such a good thing happened.

When a young lady marries from the palace, it is equivalent to the emperor marrying his daughter. Even if she is not a princess, she is still equivalent to a princess.

But Bai Zhi could hear it clearly in the sedan chair, so she was naturally happy.

She hurriedly thanked the queen: "The Queen's grace is something that this little girl cannot bear. The palace is the place where the royal bloodline comes from, and civilian girls dare not marry from the palace. The little girl has a bad fate, but fortunately, Duke Shen's government takes care of her. She is already grateful. I don’t feel aggrieved.”

While talking, Shen Changyan and Mrs. Shen, and Duke Shen Guo came to the door to greet the queen after getting the news.

"Alas, the Queen is interested, and Zhi'er is indeed wronged. Now that the Bai family has fallen into decline, it would be even more sad if she were to marry out of the small courtyard where her brother lived. Although Bai Yan removed Zhi'er that day, But it is undeniable that Zhi'er is the only bloodline of the Bai family. It would be great if she could marry from the Bai Mansion and restore Zhi'er's name."

Shen Guogong took the opportunity to speak to the empress.

After hearing this, the empress nodded unconsciously: "Brother is right. Zhi'er is the eldest lady of the Bai family, and Bai Yan has no right to remove her from the Bai family. Now that Bai Yan has broken the law and is in prison, it's time to rectify Zhi'er's name." , so that she is famous when she marries. The Zhen Guo Duke’s Mansion is still under lockdown, right? I’ll go back and beg the Emperor to grant Zhi’er the mansion.”

The matter is urgent, and the hour cannot be missed.

She then raised her voice and ordered: "Get up the sedan chair and go back to the palace."

The empress was supposed to be with the emperor today, and come back when she pays her respects.

But she thought that there was only this one nephew in her natal family, and being an aunt herself didn't help much, so she thought of coming early to help her brother and sister-in-law. After all, because of the rules in the palace, she couldn't afford to save her relatives.

Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi encountered the embarrassment of getting married.

However, she was secretly glad that she had encountered it and could help solve it.

But before he could get up from the sedan chair, Duke Shen said again: "Queen, please don't worry, the Bai family mansion has been unsealed, but it has been rewarded by the Emperor to His Highness the Third Prince."

Upon hearing this, the queen frowned and asked: "The third prince has such a big yard, why do you need the Bai family's mansion?"

"I don't know about this. If the Queen asks the Emperor for the Bai Family Mansion for Zhi'er to marry, will it make the Third Prince unhappy? I heard that the reward was given just this morning, so we will cut off the Hu..."

Before Shen Guogong finished speaking, the queen raised her hand to signal her not to speak any more.

"Brother, don't worry, this palace has its own discretion, you go back to the courtyard and wait for the news, there will be a confirmation letter in about two quarters of an hour."

After saying that, the queen once again ordered to get up the sedan chair and return to the palace.

Shen Guogong no longer obstructed, led his family to send him off respectfully, and then returned to the mansion to wait for the news.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the queen's sedan chair came to Duke Shen's mansion again.

She didn't let anyone know, but walked straight in.

"The empress is auspicious..."

Su Zhu hadn't finished the salute, the empress had already entered the upper room, with only one attendant maid by her side.

"Brother, sister-in-law, the emperor has approved it. He has passed down the imperial edict and granted the third prince a new house. The Bai family's mansion will be awarded to Bai Zhi. All the confiscated money will be returned to the Bai family, and Bai Zhi will inherit it."

Since there were no outsiders present, the empress was directly referred to as her natal family.

Shen Guogong stood up heartily, and responded gratefully: "Thank you Empress Empress..."

"Brother, it's just our own family, so don't call me the queen, just like we used to call me little sister." The queen empress looked at him, pleading earnestly with tears in her eyes.

Shen Guogong understands that the families of monarchs and ministers are different, and they cannot gather together with family affection like ordinary families.

In fact, the queen is his adopted sister, not his biological sister.

He only had a sister who was a child bride, and she has been separated forever.

This adopted sister is his biological sister who was once a lieutenant general. The brother and sister grew up relying on each other.

The purpose of the deputy general joining the barracks is to give his sister a good life in the future.

After all, when he became an official, his younger sister's worth would naturally rise accordingly, and she would be able to marry into a wealthy family.

Unfortunately, the lieutenant later died in battle and was unable to see his sister marry into the palace and become the new emperor's wife.

Before the deputy general died, he entrusted his sister to Shen Guogong.

Duke Shen treated the queen as his own sister, hoping that she would marry a good man, live a prosperous life, have a loving husband and wife, and realize her dream of being a deputy general. However, unexpectedly, the queen accidentally won the favor of the new emperor and proposed to him in person.

At first, Duke Shen was also trembling with fear. After all, life in the harem seemed like a good time, but in fact it was full of undercurrents...

But fortunately, the queen was virtuous and mellow, and she had won the emperor's favor for decades, and she also kept the harem in order.

"Okay, as a brother, I still call you little sister." Shen Guogong also nodded in agreement with tears in his eyes.
