Shao family has a daughter

Chapter 44 The Newlyweds (3)
Since then, he has come to visit once a day and personally changed Xianhui's medicine.Anyway, the brand of the Queen's Party can't be removed, so it doesn't matter to criticize, just give the queen and the Wu family's favor enough to make them satisfied.

Xianhui was choked by him last time, although she didn't dare to show him face, but she always kept a sullen face after that, and was serious from beginning to end, neither looking at him nor speaking.

How did Gao Chen ever take her childish emotions to heart?What to do, what to do.

For him, a wife is the one person who must have to carry on the family line.As for the deep love of the flounder, the harmony of the harp, and the fragrance of the red sleeves, I never thought about it at all.Although Xianhui is not as dignified, generous, gentle and virtuous as an ideal wife, it is not too bad, and it is better than a woman with no morals like Shao Tongyun.

Therefore, even though he is not very satisfied with his fiancée, as long as his behavior is not wrong, he will still put her in the position of a wife to respect and protect her, and take up the responsibilities that a husband should have, as well as the tolerance within the corresponding range.So Xianhui's little emotions are not enough for him to worry about, and when he went to Jiangdu to report the letter, he also thought carefully, even the Shao family thought of it.

Gao Chen left from Zhen Guogong's mansion and returned to the palace.

With his hands on his back, he stood quietly by the side of the carved window.

At this time, a slant of early morning sunlight shone in, shining brightly in his eyes, and his cold eyes were looking towards the distant Jiangdu, looking at the blue sky - in another five or six days, the urgent letter should have arrived.

In April, the peach blossoms of the mountain temple begin to bloom.

Shao Tongyun wore a begonia-colored brocade spring shirt with makeup and flowers, and picked out gold threads, which shone brightly in the sun.She was originally born with pretty eyebrows and a youthful face, but now that she is the wife of a great county king, her dress is charming and gorgeous, and she is a little more feminine than when she was a girl.

Today, the female relatives of Prince Qing's Mansion are admiring the peach blossoms in the back garden, which is very lively.

Princess Dajun has been staring at her belly, reminding her again and again, "You have only passed the first three months, be careful, and just sit and look at the flowers honestly later, let the girl fold which one you like, don't worry about it." Walk around by yourself." Instructed carefully, "No matter how beautiful a peach blossom is, it is not as important as the child in your belly."

Shao Tongyun smiled coquettishly: "Cousin, I understand."

She said so, but when the flower banquet was busy, she led the girl and slipped away. In the end, she broke two peach blossoms and brought them back to Princess Qing to present treasures to please.

Princess Qing asked the girl to take it down and put it in the bottle, she was not keen on it, and said lightly: "You are pregnant, just sit down."

Shao Tongyun smiled and sat down.

Seeing that she was disobedient, Princess Dajun was so angry that her liver hurt.

Originally, this cousin was dignified, generous and sensible, but for some reason, since she entered the palace as a concubine, she has become lawless and unrestrained.

At first, she acted like a baby and acted like an idiot to occupy her husband. For the sake of the child in her womb, and because she was indeed wronged by that incident, she was tolerant everywhere.But she still doesn't know the fun at all, she has to go shopping in the garden for a while, and eat snacks bought outside for a while, and she doesn't have the slightest taboo for her stomach!Make yourself one head and two big.

But her husband didn't care, every time he complained, he always said: "Tong Yun is young, so it's inevitable that she has to be naughty."

They have all been made concubines and women, what's so young?The princess of Dajun was secretly ruthless. If her cousin gave birth to a son, she would take it away by herself, but if she gave birth to a girl, she would have to tell her what the rules are!

A young boy rushed into the back garden.

The princess of Dajun was getting angry, and she couldn't help scolding: "What are you running around? Is this a place you can go to?!"

"Urgent letter from Beijing! One from the prince, one from the princess."

Princess Dajun's face changed when she heard the words, "Give it to me quickly." She quickly took the letterhead and quickly sent it to her mother-in-law, "The urgent letter from the capital, mother, please take a look."

Princess Qing didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, so she quickly opened the letter.

Princess of the Great County, Princess of the Second County, Princess of the Third County, Princess Wuyang, Princess Xiaohe, Concubine Wanci, Mrs. Lu and other concubines of King Qing, Aunt Yuan and other concubines of the younger generation kings, and two The county magistrates of the granddaughter generation all looked at the letter eagerly, all with nervous expressions.

Princess Qing looked at the letter paper with a strange expression, she opened her mouth slightly and did not speak for a while.

"Mother." Princess Wuyang was anxious, "A good thing? Or a bad thing? You're talking."

"Good thing." Princess Qing said a little slowly, looking at Princess Dajun, then at Shao Tongyun, "The fourth child said in the letter that the empress's sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhenguo, recognized Xianhui as righteous female……"

Everyone turned pale with shock, with rich expressions.

Princess Qing added: "The emperor also issued an order to marry Xianhui to the fourth child as his wife."

"Ah..." In the cluster of flowers, someone called softly, but soon, everyone looked at Shao Tongyun, and some even glanced at Princess Dajun.

Now, the complexions of the women's family members are simply colorful.

Princess Dajun froze on the spot, unable to believe it, "Mother, let me take a look."

Could it be that he still lied?Princess Qing looked displeased, but in front of everyone, she still wanted to save face for the eldest daughter-in-law, so she asked the girl to pass the letter over.

Princess Dajun's eyes widened, and she read each word several times, her body suddenly softened.Then he realized that everyone was looking at him, so he had to force himself to show a smile that was uglier than crying, "It's a good thing, the emperor bestowed a marriage is a good thing."

It's over, it's over, with such a difficult and feuding sister-in-law coming in, will there be a clean life in the future?That Shao Xianhui is not a fuel-efficient lamp!With a flicker of sight, it seemed as if he saw the scene of the days of flying dogs and dogs in the future.

The person who was more shocked than her was Shao Tongyun.

Marriage granted by imperial decree? !It was as if she had been struck by a thunderbolt, which shook her so much that she couldn't recover for a long time.

How could this be the case?Just a few days ago, when my mother came to visit me, she said proudly, "It's all been arranged. This time, I promise that Xianhui will never come back, and I won't bother us again." Xianhui's death was too cheap and worry-free, and she couldn't make her understand her pain, but she didn't expect...

She didn't die, she came back alive to be the princess of the four counties!

No matter what, Shao Tongyun couldn't accept this almost heaven-defying news.

Xianhui may not die, it is her fate, when she comes back, I have a thousand, ten thousand ways to deal with her, but... how can she become the princess of the four counties?It is still bestowed by the imperial decree!Not only has he been pressured on his head for the rest of his life, but he has also occupied Gao Chen, that is the man he wants to marry with all his heart.

Shao Tongyun's heart was like a turbulent sea, with clouds turning and rain changing.

She put her hand gently on her stomach, and suddenly changed her mind - compared to her heartless cousin, Xian Hui is her biggest enemy in this life!If you want to deal with it, you should join hands to deal with her first.

Xianhui has been living in the mansion of Duke Zhen.

Every time when she was about to leave, Mrs. Zhen Guo said, "You are injured. If you rush to the road, it will be too much trouble, and it will be too distressing. It is better to rest for a while."

Empress Wu asked people to reward things every once in a while, she was really caring.

After staying for half a month, until Xianhui kept talking about "mother-in-law, mother-in-law" all day long, and was so familiar that she could hold Mrs. Zhen Guo's arm and act like a spoiled child, the Wu family let her go with satisfaction.

During this period, the food and clothing enjoyed by Xian Hui needless to say, wearing gold and silver, silk and satin, as well as rare items rewarded by the palace, she is full of the air of the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion.Mrs. Zhen Guo also asked about her health every day, took time to talk with her, and prepared a generous dowry for her to take back to Jiangdu.

In short, try your best to cultivate "mother-daughter relationship" during this time.

Before leaving, the mother and daughter were reluctant to part for a long time before Mrs. Zhen Guo sent her to the car.

After leaving the capital, Xianhui heaved a long sigh of relief.

Unlike when she came here, this time she went back not as a show girl, but as a quasi-four county princess.So I took an extremely large and luxurious carriage, Xian Hui could lie down, and two maids sat in front, one on the left and one on the right, with a charcoal basin in the middle, which was burned with smokeless silver frost charcoal, and the whole car was warm .

Not far away, on the tall horse in front, Gao Chen, the king of the four counties, was riding in a heroic suit.

Xian Hui thought about going back to Jiangdu, but she never thought that it would be like this -- she became Gao Chen's fiancée, and she was gifted by the emperor, and went back alone with him like a young couple.

—full of absurdity and unreality.

Apart from these, the journey was safe and sound, and arrived at Jiangdu Shao's mansion smoothly after half a month.

"The king of the four counties!" Shao Yuanheng's slightly excited voice came from a distance, "This road has been full of dust and dust, and my daughter has been relying on the king of the four counties to take care of her. She is so tired. Shao is really ashamed." Under his guidance Next, the carriage team entered directly from the main entrance.

The thresholds of the several gates along the way were all removed, and the passage was smooth, completely in the posture of welcoming distinguished guests.

Xian Hui chuckled softly in her heart, she had the honor of Gao Chen, the honor of marriage from the empress and the emperor, and could be a distinguished guest in front of her father.As soon as they entered the yard, people had not had time to get out of the carriage.Shen Shi and Minghui came up to greet her, both were extremely excited, "Xianhui! You're back."

Xianhui got out of the car, looked at the familiar faces of her mother and sister, recalled her shocking escape from death, and yelled bitterly, "Mother, sister."

The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly, their eyes were red.

Shao Yuanheng was in high spirits today, with a red smile all over his face and said: "Go in and talk, don't blow the cool breeze outside." He looked at his second daughter with a happy and satisfied expression.

She combed a simple girlish double bun, pulled a strand of hair on her forehead, and embroidered with a string of snow-white pearls, making her skin brighter than snow, smart and playful, and wearing a skirt with arrow sleeves, which is fashionable in the capital, looks like a girl. A bit extravagant.After all, it's different to go to the capital to experience a circle and become the niece of the empress's mother's family.

"Father." Xianhui stepped forward and sat down, not saying much.

Shao Yuanheng couldn't help being a little embarrassed. Before his daughter left, the words he said were too harsh. I'm afraid she was too young to hold grudges and put it in her heart.It's just that I don't have time to say more right now, and I'll find a chance to resolve it later.Right now, he feels that his daughter is the niece of the queen's natal family, the adopted daughter of Mrs. Zhen Guo, and the future princess of the four counties. Not only does he not feel that her daughter is putting on face, but he is always thinking about how to make concessions.

So she made a happy face, "Xianhui has traveled a long way after all, she is much more capable."

capable?His life was almost ruined!

Xianhui pursed her lips and remained silent.

Gao Chen glanced at her, then said suddenly, "You go back first, I'll have a few words with your father."

Xianhui was stunned, thinking that he was taking advantage of unmarried men and women's need to avoid taboos to save himself, a little gratitude arose in his heart, and he was blessed, "Then I'll go back first."

Gao Chen nodded slightly.

Shao Yuanheng also nodded and said: "Go, go." Confess to Shen Shi, "Let Xian Hui rest well." Anyone who is not deaf can hear that flattering tone.

Shen Shi and Ming Hui also blessed Gao Chen, and the mother and daughter left.

——They couldn't think of what Gao Chen was going to do.

Shao Yuanheng welcomed the people into the main hall of the West Courtyard, and respectfully offered up his seat, "Please, the king of the four counties, I will serve tea."

"There's no need for tea." Gao Chen waved his hand, "Please ask Mrs. Rong to come over, I have something to say."

Shao Yuanheng looked confused, what... what did the kings of the four counties ask Rong's for?Could it be that the girl Xianhui complained in front of the kings of the four counties and said bad things, and he was venting his anger for Xianhui?But he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately ordered, "Tell Mrs. Rong to come here quickly."

"Don't worry too much." Gao Chen's voice was calm, his eyes were like twinkling stars in the night sky, bright and bright, but cold, "I have something to tell Mrs. Rong, Xianhui doesn't know about it."

Shao Yuanheng didn't dare to express doubts, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

Soon, a message from the little girl came from outside the door, "Mrs. Rong is here."

Rong entered the door with a nervous expression. She had been ill by her husband's big hand before. Not long after she was raised, she got the news that Xianhui was still alive, and followed a series of blows. Madam Guo's righteous daughter, bestowed by the emperor, is about to marry Gao Chen, the king of the four counties, as his wife and concubine!
Made her sick again.

Today's Rong family no longer has the high spirits of last year. Even if she deliberately uses makeup to cover it up, it can't hide the haggard and decadent corners of her eyes and brows, like a flower that has dried most of its fresh water.Even the newly made bright purple makeup beanie on her body looked empty because of her thinness.

"I've seen the kings of the four counties." She came up to salute, her face showing panic.

Gao Chen ignored her, and ordered Chu Qi, "Bring him up."

who?Shao Yuanheng and Rong Shi looked at each other in confusion.

A small sedan chair that had been waiting outside the Shao Mansion was quickly brought in by Chu Qi, and then directly carried into the house, no one knew who was inside.Gao Chen waved to the servants, signaling them to back down, and then asked Chu Qi to close the door, and the two guards pulled the people out of the sedan chair and threw them on the ground.

It was a thin woman who was tied up, her mouth was gagged, and her face was extremely ashen.

"You go out." Gao Chen raised his hand and asked Chu Qi and the guards to go outside to enforce the law, so that no one could approach him, and then told Shao Yuanheng, "Let her open her mouth." He glanced at the woman coldly, and said lightly, "Say Be honest, speak clearly, and think about your family."

Shao Yuanheng pinched the dirty handkerchief, not knowing who this woman was, let alone what she was going to say.On the other hand, Rong's eyes widened. Although she didn't recognize the woman in front of her, there was a frightening thing that made her extremely worried, and she had a faint guess in her heart.

That woman was the one who assassinated Xianhui in the inn that day.

Fifteen ten, trembling all over, he told the whole story.

Gao Chen instructed Shao Yuanheng again, "Stop her mouth tightly." Then he said, "Xianhui just came to Jiangdu from Xianzhi Town, and it's only been a few months. Who are the enemies? Please invite Shao Dadong's family and Mrs. Rong I'll figure it out for myself, so I won't speculate much."

Rong's face was pale, and his body couldn't stop shaking.

Shao Yuanheng looked at her in horror, both furious and fearful, and then looked at the cold king of the fourth county, thinking of his current relationship with his second daughter, he bowed his head and dared not speak.

Gao Chen's gaze was like ice water melting from a snowy mountain, slowly flowing over the two of them, "Remember, Xianhui's current person in Prince Qing's Mansion is my wife who has never been married to Gao Chen." Pulling it out, I saw a flash of cold light, the woman's head fell to the ground, and the dark red blood sprayed out the whole half of the room!

Rong Shi opened his mouth wide in fright, and exclaimed, "Ah...!!"

In half her life, she has never seen such a thrilling scene, the scene of the separation of the heads, the scene of the blood spurting, - she was enveloped in a huge panic, her heartstrings broke, and she fell to the ground when she rolled her eyes !

Shao Yuanheng was also splashed with blood, his face turned pale, and he uncontrollably took several steps back.

Gao Chen chose a very good position, his body was clean, his posture was calm and breezy, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off the sword carefully, and then put the sword back into its sheath.

"Come to drink tea when you have time, and leave." He said lightly, and then walked out the door calmly.
