In the third year of Emperor Xizong's reign, the officials of this dynasty finally fulfilled their national filial piety, and major families began to hold weddings and funerals!
"Sister Xian, tomorrow is your big day." Ning stroked Yao Mengxian's soft hair. This marriage was a blessing in disguise.
Originally, the marriage was granted by Emperor Huiming, and the date of the wedding could be chosen after Sister Xian's daughter had hairpins. Who knew that Emperor Huiming died suddenly, and officials had to mourn for a year. The mourning had just begun a few months ago, and Emperor Guanghui passed away again.
I have to start the mourning all over again.
Yao Mengxian's face turned red and she lowered her head shyly, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
"Third sister is so lucky. The betrothal gift sent by the regent is almost filling the courtyard, and it weighs eighty loads! It is said that the palace is rich and powerful, and now the regent is extremely powerful. My sister will be the princess after she marries her. Who in the capital does not envy her?
?”
Yao Mengdie pinched the handkerchief in her hand and said congratulations, but the smile on her face was so stiff and unnatural.
This third sister is really lucky. Who would have thought that a peasant born in the countryside would leap over the dragon gate and become the regent who is now the most powerful one in the world?
The third sister is enjoying the success, and as soon as she gets married, she becomes the regent princess. This is the official destiny, and she can reach the sky in one step.
Furthermore, the regent is a famously handsome man in Dayan. It is said that he has not even had a marriage partner yet. He is so clean and self-sufficient that people think he is a monk. Where can he find such a perfect man?
However, Yao Mengdie wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief. She had heard a rumor recently. It was said that the Regent didn't like having concubines, because he was a manly man. Yao Mengdie thought of the Regent's delicate beauty.
I couldn't help but believe it.
The housekeepers and ladies who had gone to the palace's bungalows came back and confirmed that the regent had indeed not married, and that there was only a girl waiting at his side. And that girl had already been inspected by the sharp-eyed ladies, and she was definitely still a girl.
It can be said that the regent is already eighteen years old. When the brothers in their house were this old, they already had wives and concubines. It is doubtful that he can be so clean and self-sufficient.
What's more, the Regent is surrounded by two attendants who are closely attentive to him. Not only do these two people often do some secret things for the Regent, but they also often take care of his food and daily life, which makes people even more groundless to speculate.
Yao Mengdie thought like this and couldn't help but look at Yao Mengxian with a bit of schadenfreude in her eyes.
Ning's face could not help but darken when she heard this, "Why do you think you are so powerful? The fourth girl is from a noble family after all, so you should be careful in your words and deeds!"
Mrs. Ning had great disdain for this girl's character. Not only did she have a petty temper, but she also liked to be jealous and jealous of others. And she was also self-righteous and often thought that others could not see what she was thinking.
This girl was born in the house of this young sister. If she were in another house with a lot of sisters, her character would have been calculated eight hundred times.
The smile on Yao Mengdie's face suddenly froze, "Isn't this praising my sister for her good fortune?"
Yao Mengdie was furious. This old woman took the opportunity to teach her a lesson. Did she think this was the case in the Liang Mansion?
"Third girl, our second aunt's grandma is not feeling well, so she doesn't want to come in person to add makeup, so she specially ordered a slave girl to come over!" A girl wearing a moon-white double-breasted long skirt bowed her head towards Yao Meng.
Behind her were two little girls who were also dressed plainly. One of them was holding a small brocade box in her hand.
"This is our second aunt's grandma's sincere wish. We hope the third girl will be happy and healthy in the future!"
"Thank you, second sister, for me! Second sister is not feeling well, have you called a doctor?" Yao Mengxian ordered someone to take the brocade box and asked with concern.
"Third Miss, there's nothing serious. It's just that I got a cold yesterday and I'm a little dizzy today! I just drank medicine and went to sleep. I have to go back to serve you now, so I'll take my leave first!"
After the three girls left, Ning sighed but did not speak.
Yao Mengxian also felt disappointed. Although Prince Jing was not favored at the beginning, the second sister's marriage to Prince Jing as a concubine still made her second wife feel proud and proud for a long time. At that time, all the servants in the house came forward to fawn over her. The second wife's time was really
scenery.
Unexpectedly, the good times did not last long. Prince Jing conspired to rebel, was intercepted by the regent, and committed suicide at the foot of the imperial city. This incident made all the aristocratic families in the capital lament.
Of the two sisters, one married Prince Jing as a concubine and eventually became a widow. The other wanted to marry the other's enemy. It was really unpredictable in the world.
However, today the second sister will send someone to bring more makeup, and that is because Gu Chengyu intercedes with the emperor and is lenient with him. Originally, Prince Jing had committed such a serious crime, and none of his children, wives and concubines would survive.
The wedding date between Gu Chengyu and her has already been set. If the Duke's Palace is involved, it will be difficult to arrange the marriage immediately. Therefore, Yao Menglian was saved.
A widowed person really shouldn't appear here on such a big day. This is unlucky for the newlyweds.
"Since there are so many people coming to add makeup, the third sister should get busy first! My sister is going back now and will come back tomorrow to congratulate her!"
Yao Mengdie's face had darkened since the girl came to give her makeup just now, and now she said goodbye.
"Huh! This girl has a sharp mouth but a very crooked mind. You should avoid interacting with her in the future. I think she is jealous of you, but she insists on sticking up to you. She clearly wants to take advantage of you!"
Ning and others left. Seeing that there was no one at the moment, they immediately said to Yao Mengxian.
Yao Mengxian smiled, she was getting married tomorrow, and there would be fewer opportunities to see each other in the future, so she didn't take Yao Mengdie seriously and would just stay away from her in the future.
However, she felt very uneasy now. She had not heard the rumors outside.
"Sister Xian, the most right thing your grandfather did in his life was to ask the emperor to marry you and Jin Yu. Jin Yu is a good son. He is smart, motivated, responsible, and respects his teachers. Such
I'm afraid men are hard to find in the world. After you get married to him, you should treat your husband as your first priority. In the future, you will take care of your husband and raise your children, and do your duty as a wife. You don't expect him to be loyal to you after you get married. I just hope that he will be devoted to you forever.
If the two of you can bring the matter together, it will be a happy event."
Ning's eyes filled with tears as she thought of her daughter who died young. Her words were meant to remind her granddaughter that there are very few men in the world who are willing to stay together. Even Liang Zhirui had an affair when he was young.
Yes, it's just that there is no concubinage.
Her daughter died early because she was too affectionate and imagined too wonderful the friendship between husband and wife. She did not want her granddaughter to have such extravagant thoughts like her daughter.
"Don't worry, granddaughter!" Yao Mengxian also thought of her mother and felt very sad.
There were tears in her eyes, but thinking of such a happy day, it was better not to cause trouble when people saw her, so she immediately changed the subject and asked, "Is grandpa feeling better?"
