The wedding day of Shi Fuxin and Chu Yao is scheduled for the second day of October.
By the end of September, both Prince Rong's Mansion and Wuchang Bo's Mansion began to hang red silk.
Prince Rong's Mansion
My cousin Guan Xiuyan, who had been living in the palace since she was six years old, felt sleepy again at night. When she got up in the morning, her eyes were black and blue, and her face looked tired.
Hui'er, who knew her girl's worries, felt very unworthy for her girl, and complained: "The princess clearly promised her back then that she would tell her to the third master, but now she regrets it as soon as she says it, but she just deceives her and has no one to make the decision.
”
"Shut up!"
Guan Xiuyan interrupted Hui'er's words, looked out the window and murmured: "My cousin's marriage, not to mention my aunt, even the county prince and the old princess cannot be his master. My aunt's words are just coaxing me."
Just play."
Hui'er was still unwilling to give in: "But the third master is obviously very good to the girl."
Guan Xiuyan smiled bitterly: "My cousin is good to me, but he is just pity that my parents are dead and I have no one to rely on. He is good to me, but he just thinks that I am him."
Hui'er didn't quite understand. Just when she was about to ask, Guan Xiuyan urged her to freshen up and dress up.
"My cousin's wedding day is coming soon. We need to help our aunt keep an eye on her, so we can't make any mistakes and cause our cousin to lose face."
"Especially the new house, it must be properly decorated."
Guan Xiuyan paused for a moment: "When we go to decorate the new house later, remember to call Aunt Sun who is next to my aunt."
Hui'er was puzzled: "Why is this?"
Guan Xiuyan lowered her eyes: "If my cousin comes in and knows that I decorated the new house, she will probably feel a little confused. With grandma here, she can say that my aunt sent someone to decorate the new house."
Hui'er felt sorry for her girl: "I want you to tell me that this kind of thankless errand girl should be pushed away."
Guan Xiuyan: "My cousin is getting married, and my aunt will be the only one to take care of everything. If I don't help, my aunt will be exhausted."
"After my father and mother passed away, it was my aunt who took me to the palace to educate me. This gave me a place to live. I should be filial to her."
"Okay, stop inking, it's almost time to say goodbye."
After Guan Xiuyan washed herself and dressed up, she took Hui'er to the main courtyard.
The young prince of Rongjun was resting in the main courtyard. When Guan Xiuyan arrived, the princess Guan had just gotten up.
Seeing Guan Xiuyan coming, the princess immediately smiled: "Xiuyan is here."
Guan Xiuyan smiled and stepped forward to help the princess to freshen up. After she was fully dressed, she helped the princess to the living room to eat.
"Thanks to you serving me all these years, otherwise my house would be like a cold palace. My husband won't come, my son won't come back, and I won't have any popularity at all."
The princess held Guan Xiuyan's hand tightly: "Good boy, I've suffered so much for you. Fortunately, your cousin-in-law is about to come in. With her taking care of you from now on, you can feel more relaxed."
Hearing this, Guan Xiuyan turned a little pale, thinking that the princess no longer needed her. She forced a smile and said: "What did my aunt say? It is Xiuyan's blessing to be able to serve you by your side. As long as you don't dislike her, Xiuyan
Yan is willing to serve you for the rest of her life."
As a cousin living in the palace, all her confidence in the palace comes from her aunt's respect and love. If her aunt no longer values her, how can she live a good life?
Although I had already prepared that my cousin's position in my aunt's heart would decline when my cousin came in, I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
The princess didn't notice Guan Xiuyan's expression and said with emotion: "I know you are a good boy. You know, my aunt has always wanted you to do it."
Having said this, he immediately stopped talking, showing a look of helplessness and headache.
"Your cousin is disobedient to discipline. When he was a child, he could still listen to a few words from me. But as he got older, he became more and more fond of confronting others. As a mother, I can't be the master of him." p>
"Now I don't ask for anything else. I just ask him not to hang around all the time and not even come back home."
Guan Xiuyan explained: "After we get married, with my cousin-in-law taking care of me, my cousin will definitely not be homeless."
The princess snorted: "If your cousin marries a lady from a famous family, I would still have some hope, but who does he marry? A barbaric border girl with a reputation as good as his. I hope she will restrain your cousin."
, it’s not as cheap as if I did it myself.”
Guan Xiuyan looked at the dissatisfied expression on the princess's face and remained silent: "With my aunt teaching me, I think my cousin will take on the responsibility of being a wife."
The princess sighed: "This is the only way it can be. Marriage is granted by the imperial decree, and there is no chance to regret it."
The princess felt very unhappy when she thought that her daughter-in-law was the prince and the young master of the Liu family wanted to take a concubine back home.
Despite her poor background, she had also heard that this girl was famous for disrespecting her elders and loving to contradict them.
The princess thought of the years she had been married into the prince's palace. She only carried the name of princess in vain and did not enjoy the rights of a princess at all. In name, she was Chu Xuan, Chu Zhao's aunt, but none of these two brats respected her.
of.
Their daughters-in-law followed suit and even came to greet her in a perfunctory manner, showing no respect at all.
If his biological son married a wife who was also disobedient to discipline, then she, the mother-in-law, would really be sick to death.
Thinking of this, the princess couldn't help but look at Guan Xiuyan, and the more she looked at her, the more satisfied she became. Her son was disobedient, and her daughter was probably also difficult to get along with at that time. She had to find a helper who would stand by her side.
.
"Good boy, my aunt's mind has never changed. She has always chosen you as the daughter-in-law in her heart."
"A daughter's house is as delicate as a flower. It must be protected by someone to protect it from wind and rain. You have grown up little by little in front of me. No matter who you are promised to, my aunt will not worry about it." p>
"You grew up in the palace, and your relationship with your cousin is extraordinary. If you are willing to stay in the palace, he will protect you no matter what, and will not let you lose your support."
Guan Xiuyan's heart skipped a beat when she heard these words. She was a little unsure of what the princess meant, so she lowered her head and said nothing.
The princess only thought that Guan Xiuyan was shy, so she smiled and patted her hand: "My son, you were raised by me. No matter who I wronged, I cannot wrong you."
After breakfast, Guan Xiuyan took Hui'er and Grandma Sun to decorate the new house.
While Grandma Sun was directing others to do things, Hui'er asked Guan Xiuyan in a low voice: "Girl, what did the princess mean by those words this morning?"
Guan Xiuyan pursed her lips and did not respond, her face turned a little pale.
The aunt wants her to be her cousin's concubine!
As a concubine, even if she has the support of her aunt, she is still inferior to others. Not only she, but also her children in the future can only be the children of concubines.
How could she bear to feel ashamed of her parents and her children?
Seeing that she was silent, Hui'er thought for a while and said, "Girl, the third master is indifferent to emotions. His marriage to the girl from the Shi family is just a temporary measure and he must not care about her."
"You are different. Your relationship with him is extraordinary. Even if your status is a bit different, you may not be able to get ahead in the future."
Guan Xiuyan looked at the bright red flowers and red cloth hanging high, then turned to look at Hui'er: "Am I not worthy of marrying a good man and becoming the first wife?"
Hui'er: "Girl, that's not what I meant." After a pause, "Don't you also like Third Master?"
Guan Xiuyan: "If you like him, you have to be his concubine?"
Hui'er was silent, and after a while she said, "But it's the princess's side."
Guan Xiuyan shook her head and laughed: "My aunt has always been a confused person. She has already said that my cousin will not listen to her, so how can I be sure that my cousin is willing to take me as my concubine?"
"My cousin is both affectionate and affectionate. I believe he will protect me when I am helpless, but he will not let me be his concubine."
Guan Xiuyan didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she stepped into the new house and assigned her servants to place various decorations.
In the afternoon of that day, Chu Yao rarely returned home.
Looking at the boxes of things carried in by her servants, Guan Xiuyan was a little surprised. After knowing that these things were used to decorate the new house, she felt a little shocked.
My cousin has always ignored secular matters, but now he is personally focusing on the decoration of the new house.
My cousin actually likes the sixth girl from the Shi family, right?
"Xiuyan, I'll let Aunt Qu keep an eye on the new house, so you don't have to look at it from now on."
Hearing Chu Yao's words, Guan Xiuyan felt that her guess had come true. She couldn't hold it back and asked, "Cousin, are you happy to marry a girl from the Shi family?"
Chu Yao looked at Guan Xiuyan's eager eyes and looked away: "I finally begged for her, so I'm naturally happy." After saying that, he strode out.
Guan Xiuyan swayed, with tears in her eyes. When she saw Chu Yao stopped after taking a few steps, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Xiuyan, your cousin-in-law is a straightforward and clear person. You can have more contact with her in the future, and I will tell her to take you out to more parties. The more people and events you see, the wider your heart will be." p>
Guan Xiuyan stared blankly at Chu Yao's leaving figure and murmured: "Cousin, do you think I am a petty person?"
In Wuchang Bo Mansion, as the wedding day approaches, relatives and friends of the Shi family also come to the house one after another to add makeup to Shi Fuxin.
Mrs. Shi Da has been assisting Jin Yue'e in entertaining guests these days, because she also has to manage other affairs in the house and is so busy that her feet never touch the ground.
"Madam, my second aunt is here."
After hearing the maid's report, Mrs. Shi didn't care about anything else and said quickly: "Bring the second aunt's grandma to our courtyard. Don't let her go to Yigui courtyard."
Mrs. Shi was really afraid of Shi Yuhua. Shi Yuhua and her fourth brother's family seemed to be natural enemies, and conflicts would arise every time they met.
Shi Fulin handed Mrs. Shi a cup of tea and said, "Look at how nervous my mother is. Since my second uncle has been idle at home, my second aunt has calmed down a lot."
Mrs. Shi drank her daughter's tea and said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. I just hope that Sister Xin can be happy and get married smoothly."
Shi Fulin curled her lips: "Mother, you treat Sixth Sister better than you treat me."
"Who am I doing this for? Isn't it for you and your eldest brother and second brother?"
Madam Shi nodded at Shi Fulin's forehead, and then said quietly: "I'm afraid our uncle's family will have to rely on your fourth uncle and his family to live in the future."
"Wu Lang is the Chief Constable of the South, Sister Yin is the wife of An Guogong, Jiu Lang is the Prince Consort, and Sister Xin has now become the daughter-in-law of the palace. Mother will help your fourth aunt more now, and Wu Lang and the others will also take care of you more in the future.
Some of you."
Shi Fulin pursed her lips: "Mom, I know, I will get along well with the third sister and the sixth sister in the future."
Mrs. Shi then showed a satisfied smile, and just as she was giving some more instructions, the maid led Shi Yuhua in.
"Second sister is back."
Although Mrs. Shi stood up to greet her, Shi Yuhua was still a little unhappy: "Sister-in-law is the busiest person in the family. I am really flattered that she can entertain me personally."
Mrs. Shi's expression remained unchanged: "You are the second aunt of the Shi family. Even if I have a very important matter, I still have to put it down to see you."
Shi Yuhua chuckled: "Sister-in-law, there's no need to criticize me. You're just afraid that I'll get into trouble with the fourth family again."
Mrs. Shi was too lazy to coddle Shi Yuhua anymore and said calmly: "I'm not the only one who's afraid. Ask the other people in the family and see who's not afraid."
Shi Yuhua sneered and said, "Don't pretend anymore? You are just worshiping someone who is superior and stepping on someone who is inferior."
Shi Fulin couldn't help it anymore: "What the second aunt said is that we worship the superior and suppress the inferior, but who among the people in the capital, no, in this world, is not like this? Who is more noble than the other.
”
"you"
Shi Yuhua laughed angrily: "The rules of the uncle's house have become more and more formal. Now any junior can contradict the elders."
Shi Fulin snorted: "If the elders act like elders, the juniors will naturally respect them."
Shi Yuhua was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. Ever since her husband-in-law lost his job, no one would take her seriously when she returned to her parents' home: "You can go ahead and fawn over her."
"Sister Xin, that girl first provoked the Liu family and then the prince. Do you think that if she marries into the prince's palace, the Shi family will benefit from it?"

"Don't end up not getting the glory, but come back in a mess, and you won't even know how you died in the end."
These words were too much, and Mrs. Shi couldn't stand to hear them anymore: "Second sister, do you curse your mother's family like this? There is no need for you, a married woman, to worry about family matters. You should really be free and have nothing to do."
Just mind your own affairs at home."
"By the way, I heard that you and Zhengkun's family are still very close?"
"As my sister-in-law, I would like to advise you that Fu Zhi of the Zhengkun family is the concubine of the fourth prince. Don't let outsiders think that the Wei family is also a member of the fourth prince just because you are close to the Zhengkun family."
Shi Yuhua suddenly stood up: "It's not my sister-in-law's turn to take care of my affairs. I'm going to pay my respects to my mother."
Watching her leave, Mrs. Shi was extremely angry.
"Before, our family had a quarrel with the Liu family because of Wu Lang and Sister Xin. Fortunately, we had such a quarrel. Otherwise, with your second aunt being so close to the Zhengkun family, outsiders might think that our family is also a member of the fourth prince.
."
Mrs. Shi was very troubled: "The matter of seizing the legitimate son has always been full of bloodshed. Sister Xin is trying her best to ruin her reputation and offend the East Palace, and does not want to be involved with the prince and the fourth prince. It would be better for your second aunt to go there by herself."
Go up to the top."
Shi Fulin was also a little worried: "After all, this matter is ultimately to be blamed on Uncle Zhengkun's family. If they weren't greedy for vanity, how could Sister Fuzhi enter the fourth prince's backyard?"
"The Li family is also very annoying. When the Liu family dealt with our family, that family often said bad things about our family."
"Grandpa and grandmother have raised Uncle Zhengkun for nothing. They are people who repay kindness with enmity."
Speaking of Li Zhengkun's family, Mrs. Shi didn't want to say more. Now the family has stopped interacting with them for a long time and they are just strangers.
Grand Prince's Mansion
The eldest prince selected two ornaments from his private treasury and planned to give them to Chu Yao as wedding gifts. When they were packing them, the eldest prince's staff came over.
"Mr. Zhuge."
Zhuge Xun looked at the ornaments and said with a smile: "Your Highness is willing to give away such a good thing?"
The eldest prince smiled and said: "Chu Yao finally got married, so I should express my gratitude."
Zhuge Xun thought of Chu Yao's age and nodded in agreement: "The third young master Yao did get married a little late, but in the end it was as he wished, and his wife was chosen by himself."
The eldest prince sighed: "It's more because of the situation. Brother Yao has a stubborn temper, and the girl Shi he wants to marry is not a docile person either. I'm really worried about whether the two of them can get along." Zhuge Xun smiled and said: "Young Master Yao San is not a sentimental person. As long as that young lady can help him stabilize the back house, I think he will be satisfied."
The eldest prince shook his head: "Sir, although Brother Yao is usually cold-hearted and seems to not care about anyone, in fact, he is the most affectionate person."
"Prince Rongjun has always felt that Brother Yao has defeated him, and he has disliked him since he was a child. The Princess of the county, she is, is someone who only looks at Prince Rong's eyes and acts, causing Brother Yao to suffer a lot of grievances."
"Brother Yao, I have always longed for a warm home."
Zhuge Xun really didn't see this. He thought that Chu Yao was really hard-hearted if he could ignore Princess Rong's face and directly attack Duke Wen's mansion.
"If this is the case, Young Master Yao San should marry a virtuous and virtuous lady."
The eldest prince: "So, Brother Yao is forced to get married due to circumstances."
Zhanfu
Doctor Zhan received the letter from Tianshan. He was quite happy at first, but after reading it, he suddenly jumped up with anger.
"Master, what happened?"
The attendant immediately asked.
Zhan Fei was so angry that he circled around: "My good junior sister wrote to the old man saying that she was getting married. After the old man received the letter, he took his second junior brother to the capital."
Follower: "."
Zhan Fei was so angry: "Isn't it just a marriage? Isn't it necessary to mobilize troops? Does that girl think she is not impressive enough?"
He could imagine how much of a sensation the old man would cause when he arrived.
"Ah, why do I have such a troublesome junior sister?"
"Does she think she's marrying into a good family? Not to mention Prince Rong's family, but that Chu Yao. Maybe the two of them will be able to fight each other in the future."
Shi Fuxin didn't know that the old man Tianchi and her second senior brother were coming to the capital. She just wanted to have a master-disciple relationship. When she got married, she had to inform her master no matter what, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain it.
If she had known that Old Man Tianchi was coming, she might not have done this and would have told the news later. After all, she had never thought of telling the world that she was Old Man Tianchi's apprentice.
