the first lady

Chapter 16

What is even more shameful is that the culprit who forcibly imposes his own thoughts on the minds of others still uses the legitimate excuse of reminiscing about the past.

The emperor is a shameless person who is more shameful than all the people in the world!
Early in the morning, Qiao Ling'er was woken up from the bed by Ningxiang. In fact, she had only slept for a short time.Last night, Qin Shi, Fang Shi and Wu Shi were in her room all the time, and the three women cried a lot. At dawn, Qiao Linger sent them back to their respective courtyards with their eyes still red and swollen.

Not long after she lay down, the Qiao family had already started beating gongs and drums. Although the Qiao family is marrying a daughter, the Qiao family is also a big family, and etiquette is essential.

Qiao Ling'er put on her clothes and sat in front of the bronze mirror. Although she didn't seem to wake up, she was very clear-headed today.One is because of being a thief, the concept of jet lag has nothing to do with ordinary people; the other is because of what her three mothers told her last night, although the three of them were born as young ladies, they still know some situations very clearly .

The Zongzheng family was originally a complex family, a family that covered politics, economy, and military affairs. If all of them were gathered together, they might be able to compete with the royal family of Nanwu Kingdom.What puzzled them now was why Emperor Wu let them marry the Qiao family even though he knew the power of the Zongzheng family was huge?The marriage between the second family and the third family has brought the economic strength to a higher level.

Qiao Ling'er had heard from Qiao Zhan before that the six great families in Nanwu Kingdom, that is, the sixth family, the Ning family, all had economic and financial resources comparable to the national treasury.It is conceivable that the economic strength of the top-ranked first family and second family can be worth several treasuries!

Only in the marriage between Zongzheng's family and Qiao's family, it is impossible to guess Emperor Wu's intention.But Qiao Ling'er also believed that there must be a bigger conspiracy behind what Emperor Wu did.

The matchmaker dressed in bright red instructed the maids to dress up Qiao Ling'er. Not far away, the three of the Qin family covered their faces and wept again. No matter how much reluctance they felt in their hearts, they couldn't express it.

Qiao Linger looked at the three of them and smiled slightly, signaling them not to worry too much.

With a black hair hanging down her back, Qiao Ling'er saw that delicate face from the bronze mirror, and watched the smiling matchmaker holding a mahogany comb and combing it from the top of her head, while saying: "Comb, Comb to the end..."

Comb down from the end of the hair, and start combing from the head again, "Second comb, comb until the white hair is at the same level as the eyebrows..."

White hair and eyebrows?Qiao Ling'er sneered, she had never even seen the other person's face, let alone got along with him, would she have white hair and eyebrows?Will Emperor Wu let them live so peacefully?
"Three combs, comb until the children and grandchildren are all over the floor..."

"Four combs, until the four silver shoots are all in one piece!"

After combing four times, all four iconic words fell down.I have to admit that these four sentences are really good. If it were not in such a situation, but if she could find a man who truly loves each other and marry willingly, maybe she would have a lot of romance, but now...she doesn't have that Happy!

After some dressing up, Qiao Ling'er was graceful and slim, with willow eyebrows covered with emerald green mist, sandalwood mouth dotted with cinnabar, a pair of autumn water eyes, with lustrous muscles and bones, and elegant demeanor.Lips are red without spots, eyebrows are green without painting, face is like a silver basin, and eyes are like water apricots.He also has a decent character and a plump appearance, with two curved eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy.

The wedding dress was tailor-made for her by three members of the Qin family. The bright red Bixia Luo embroidered with a phoenix, the pink smoked gauze skirt stretched across the floor, the hand-held Luo Cui tulle, the shoulders were cut into the waist and the waist was plain. , the muscles are as thick as fat and the gas is like a blue orchid, and the charm is three points without bones.

Fold the slender waist and take small steps, showing bright wrists in the light gauze.His eyes contain spring water and clear waves, and there is a phoenix crown on his head.Fragrant and tender, delicate and beautiful, more delicate than flowers, it is like cutting the root of a green onion, and the mouth is like containing red dandelion, with a frown and a smile that touches the heart and soul.

The people in the room were almost stunned, even women couldn't help but lose their minds when they saw the number one beauty in Nanwu Kingdom who was so well-dressed.

"Miss Qiao is really a shameful woman, and a moonless flower. Ma'am, I have seen many brides, but I have never seen such a beautiful bride!" The matchmaker praised without exaggeration.In fact, such a woman who looks like a fairy is rare in the world!

Ning Xiang watched from the sidelines with tears in her eyes. She has followed her young lady since she was a child, but she has never seen a young lady so beautiful after dressing up?Is it true that when a woman becomes a bride is the most beautiful moment in her life?As everyone knows, Ning Xiang thinks that Qiao Linger is beautiful, not because of her appearance, but because of her unique temperament, cold, light, and elegant, which Qiao Linger did not have back then.

"Mother, Fourth Sister, the sedan chair to welcome the relatives has arrived..." Qiao Yichen, as a messenger, had already received news of Zongzheng's family's sedan chair from a long distance away, so she also came to inform immediately.

It took Qiao Ling'er two hours to put on makeup and change clothes, and it was already noon in the blink of an eye.

When Qiao Yichen walked into the room, he saw Qiao Ling'er in full attire, and he didn't say any more. Qiao Ling'er was so dazzling that people couldn't look away.

"Ling'er..." Qin immediately stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Ling'er's hand, tears were shed in her already red and swollen eyes.

"Mother...don't cry, today is my daughter's big day, you should be happy." Qiao Ling'er sniffed, not letting her eyes get wet, she knew that she couldn't let their family worry.

"But Ling'er..." Qin was a little anxious, Zongzheng's family is a complicated and dangerous place, how can they rest assured?
Qiao Ling'er took out her handkerchief, gently wiped Qin's tears, and said softly: "Mother, Ling'er will be careful, I have said everything that should be said yesterday, and Ling'er will be with her husband-in-law in the future." Let's come back together to visit father and three mothers." She doesn't like being so sentimental, but she damn likes the feeling of being cared about.

"Ling'er..." Fang Shi and Wu Shi also stepped forward together, and began to cry. Although Qiao Ling'er was not their biological daughter, they both loved her as their own daughter.

"Second Niang, San Niang, don't cry, Ling'er still likes to see you laughing." Qiao Linger squeezed out a smile with tears in her eyes, then looked at Qiao Yichen, and said: "Yichen, the fourth sister in the future If you're not at home, you have to be filial to father and three mothers for Fourth Sister, you know?"

Hearing this, Qiao Yichen nodded solemnly, but her voice was a little choked up, and said: "Fourth sister, I will definitely be filial to my father and mother, but you, if there is anything wrong with Zongzheng's family, you must come back and let us know." ?"

"Okay, okay, the bride is about to get into the sedan chair, it will be bad if the auspicious time is missed." The matchmaker looked at the family and her eyes were a little moist, but now it's almost time, they should go to the groom's house .

A clean apple was stuffed into Qiao Linger's hand, which meant peace.A red veil covered Qiao Linger's head, blocking her sight.

Ningxiang and another maid called Lanfeng are Qiao Linger's dowry maids. Ningxiang has been by Qiao Linger's side since she was a child, and Lanfeng was originally a maidservant next to Qiao Yishu. She knows martial arts and medicine. Everyone agreed to let her be Qiao Linger's maid to protect Qiao Linger.

With the support of the matchmaker and Xi Niang, Qiao Linger took a step forward and headed towards the sedan chair. Behind her, she heard the cries of the three of Qin's family, and her tears were ultimately on the veil covered by the handkerchief. It flowed down in an instant.

Biting her lips, the sound of her crying did not come out.No matter what, the Qiao family is her home, no matter what her future holds, she will definitely protect this family!
The big red sedan chair stopped in front of Qiao's mansion. Ordinary families didn't have marriage proposals or engagements, so they jumped directly to the third link - getting married.

Before getting on the sedan chair, Xi Niang stopped, and then heard another female voice urging her. It was not until the third time that Xi Niang, who was supporting Qiao Linger, let her get on the sedan chair, and the urging Xi Niang did not let her get on the sedan chair. It is the bride of the man's family.

Qiao Ling'er doesn't understand the general etiquette, but it doesn't matter. The bride and the matchmaker have taught her everything. In fact, she doesn't need to do anything at all. She only needs to listen to the praise when she arrives at the clan government. The instructions of the author will do.

Fengguanxiapei, this is the marriage ceremony of the ancients, from the Xipa, she can see the apple in her hand, thinking of sitting on Qin's lap before that, and let her feed herself, this kind of action is She never had one when she was a child.

The mother feeds the meal, implying not to forget the grace of nurturing.Although she is not Qin's biological daughter, she will always remember this kindness in her heart.

The big red sedan chair for eight people felt uncomfortable shaking, but she was the protagonist of today, so she couldn't leave this small space.She could only sit in the sedan chair with a heavy heart, as if everything outside was cut off from her.

Ning Xiang and Lan Feng followed the sedan chair from left to right, Ning Xiang looked a little excited, Lan Feng was a little serious, and he looked more cautious.

Both the Qiao family and the Zongzheng family were big families, especially the emperor personally bestowed the marriage, and there were countless people watching the fun outside, but they had a tacit understanding and gave up the road ahead to the long line of welcoming the bride.

Qiao Linger counted silently in her heart. Even though she was already 22 years old in her previous life, she had never thought about getting married. She never thought that when she came here, in less than three months, she would go to complete the wedding ceremony in her previous life. Things that have never been experienced.The ridiculous thing is that she doesn't even know the other person's appearance and character, the only thing she knows is that his name is Zong Zhengyi, a young and promising prime minister.

There may be many rumors about the prime minister in the streets and alleys, but all the time, only his name is heard, not the person.For a man she has never met or gotten along with, she can't give birth to romance, and she doesn't have any expectations. She believes that if the prime minister is really as smart as the rumors say, he must know about this political marriage, or maybe he is The real mastermind of this marriage!
