Princess Su got the request of Princess Duan. Knowing that Princess Duan was serious about the marriage, she also did a good job of being courteous, and sent greetings to the Qin family in advance.

However, as soon as they arrived outside Zhongyi Hou's Mansion, the Zhu Lun Cha of Prince Su's Mansion was blocked by the carriages and horses ahead.

An old mama got out of the car to check the situation, and saw outside the gate of the Marquis of Zhongyi, an old woman in green clothes with gray hair and a woman with a matchmaker mole were arguing with the concierge of the marquis's house.

"You dare to be a slave, why don't you let me in?!" Mother Cheng scolded the doorman righteously, "The marriage between the dog and the four girls in your house was a marriage bestowed by the emperor, and today I bring a matchmaker to get the four The girl's Geng Tie."

The matchmaker was holding the handkerchief, twisting her waist and helping her with a shrill voice: "Hey, I've been a matchmaker for decades, and there are hundreds if not thousands of threads. It’s the first time I’ve seen each other, both of them said they’re getting married, and they’ve even shut out their in-laws! What’s the rule, what’s the truth!!”

There is a lot of movement here, and it will inevitably attract a lot of onlookers to point in the direction of Hou's mansion.

Mother Cheng was eager to see more people, so she raised her voice and shouted, "I want to see you Mrs. Hou!"

"You stubborn slave dog looks low, it's obviously your Mrs. Hou who took the initiative to ask our Cheng family to mention the marriage, and wanted to tell my son about the daughter of Hou's mansion..."

"My son is Juren, Ya Yuan from the last class..."

"..."

The old mama watched for a while, and then returned to the Zhulun Cha. Princess Su asked suspiciously, "Why did you come back?"

The old mama showed a strange look and said: "Princess, now an old woman brought a matchmaker to propose marriage to the four girls in the Hou residence, and the concierge will not let her in, and there is a commotion right now."

Princess Su raised her eyebrows strangely.

"That old woman deliberately shouted to others at a high voice." The old lady learned the words she just heard from Princess Su, as if she was telling a joke.

Princess Su's expression became more and more strange, she raised her hand and opened the curtain on the side of the carriage, looked towards the gate of Hou's Mansion, and heard a sharp female voice in front of her: "This is a marriage gifted by Yu, your Qin family. Are you going to regret your marriage?!"

"If you don't give me an explanation, I'll go to Jingzhao Mansion to play drums now..."

Mother Cheng's voice became sharper and sharper, attracting more passers-by to watch the excitement.

Several concierges were panicked and anxious, and their foreheads were sweating profusely.

They all knew that Duan Wangfu had invited Princess Su to come to the house to propose marriage as a matchmaker today, which was a big deal.

One of the concierges was thinking about whether to report to Madam Tai or Madam Hou when the corner of her eye happened to catch a glimpse of a red wheel car not far away.

"Is this... the carriage of Prince Su's Mansion?" Another concierge also stammered when he saw the Zhu Lun carriage.

Afraid of neglecting Princess Su, the concubine hurried to Ronghetang.

Mrs. Qin Tai had already made preparations and dressed very grandly.

"It's almost the hour..." Mrs. Qin Tai looked at the pot leak, and before she could finish speaking, the concierge, sweating profusely, entered the eastern room with a little maid.

"Mrs. Tai, Princess Su's carriage has arrived." After a pause, the concierge replied in embarrassment, "Also, the Mrs. Cheng also brought a matchmaker and said she was coming to get the fourth girl's Geng Tie. ."

Mrs. Qin Tai: "..."

Mrs. Qin Tai's expression became a little subtle.

She later came back to her senses and thought about it carefully, and she understood everything about the day the emperor gave her the wedding.

Where did the Su family really want to find a marriage for Jie Di, she just found a sloppy looking, saucy inside, and coaxed herself to marry Jie Ji out and get her a marriage that was sweet on the outside and bitter on the inside.

Therefore, when the Su family heard that the emperor wanted to marry Cheng Shiang and Sister Sheng, he became anxious.

Mrs. Qin Tai frowned deeply and sighed.

That is to say, she is really stupid, she believes what Su Shi says, and really thinks that she is sincere to marry Sister Ji.

Madam Cui looked at Mrs. Qin's face, stepped forward for half a step, and said in a timely manner: "Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Cheng came here two days ago, and was beaten away with a stick by the lady sent by her. The servant thought about it, She may have inquired about Duan Wang's mansion today to propose marriage, so she deliberately brought the matchmaker to make trouble."

"The Cheng family is still propagating outside, saying that our Houfu will marry a direct daughter to them."

"Let the wife of the Cheng family continue to make trouble like this, and the face of the Duan Wangfu will not look good."

Mrs. Qin Tai slowly twisted the string of beads in her hand, her face sinking like water.

Almost, just a little bit, she believed Su's words credulously, and pushed Jie Ji'er to Chengjia Huokeng. Fortunately, the emperor's decree for marriage came just in time.

It's a good thing that Sister Ji'er got this good marriage from the royal family. If the Cheng family continues to make trouble and spread to the ears of Duanwang's mansion, Duanwang and his wife are afraid that the Qin family does not know what to say and has no rules, and they look down on it. Sister Ji.

Ji sister was replaced by Diao slaves. She has suffered so much outside since she was a child, and she was almost plotted by Su's marriage. It is already very pitiful. Door, I'm afraid it's not a good day.

The string of beads in Mrs. Qin Tai's hand stopped, and there was a touch of determination in her usually gentle eyes, and said: "Cheng Juren is the uncle of the lady, let the lady handle it by herself, welcome the wife of the Cheng family in, and take it to the lady's yard. Go. Look for someone to watch Madam's yard, only allow entry but not exit, don't throw people to Princess Su's place."

"Today is the big day of the three girls, don't neglect the distinguished guests, and hurry up to welcome Princess Su!"

Mrs. Qin Tai gave an order, and the servants hurried off on errands.

So, Mother Cheng and the matchmaker were first led to the Su family by a few maids, and then Madam Cui personally led someone to solemnly welcome Princess Su's Zhu Lun Cha into the mansion.

Princess Su originally thought that the Qin family was out of order. She thought that Mother Cheng would be blocked at the door for a long time, and she even made psychological preparations for returning home today. She did not expect that the Qin family would resolve the matter so quickly .

Looking at it like this, the Qin family seems to be okay. Princess Su thought to herself.

Mrs. Qin Tai personally entertained Princess Su with courtesy and thoughtful manners.

After Princess Su said a few scenes, she formally proposed to Qin Di on behalf of Duan Wangfu according to the ancient etiquette.

Mrs. Qin Tai smiled and accepted Gu Zezhi's geng post, and handed over Qin Ji's geng post that had already been prepared.

Both parties were very satisfied, especially Mrs. Qin Tai's eyes narrowed with laughter, her face flushed red, and she had long forgotten the unpleasantness caused by Cheng's mother.

Mrs. Qin Tai also personally sent Princess Su to Yimen.

After returning, Mrs. Qin Tai smiled and asked Mrs. Cui: "How's the lady?"

Madam Cui's eyes flickered slightly, and she said truthfully, "The concierge just now took the wife of the Cheng family to see the wife at Qiongzhi Courtyard, but the wife was missing, so the old woman stopped the wife of the Cheng family and the matchmaker from the door."

"Later, the fourth girl also went to Qiongzhiyuan to make trouble after hearing the news, and ordered the maids to chase people away. Fortunately, the slaves sent more than a dozen rough messengers over in advance, so they did not let the fourth girls chase them away."

The corners of Mother Cui's mouth twitched, thinking: Anyway, Mother Su and Mother Cheng can make trouble whatever they want, as long as they don't disturb the important affairs of the third girl.

Mrs. Qin Tai rubbed her brows wearily, feeling tired all over her body, and she looked several years older all at once.

"You go tell Madam," Madam Qin Tai calmly instructed, "Let her take care of Sister Sheng's marriage now. As for the central feeder of the Hou's mansion, she will not be in charge of it for the time being, let her keep the account book of the match. Hand it over."

After a pause, Mrs. Qin Tai's voice became a little colder, "Remind her again that this is a marriage bestowed by the emperor. The emperor's golden mouth said that Sister Sheng can only marry except to die."

Nanny Cui and the other nanny maids in the room were all surprised.

Since the Qin family was rehabilitated and returned to the capital ten years ago, Mrs. Tai handed over the mid-payment of the Hou residence to Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Su. It has been a full ten years.

Before today, I am afraid that no one would have thought that one day Mrs. Tai would take back the central feeder right of the Hou residence.

Mother Cui bowed her knees to lead the order and hurried to do it.

However, after a stick of incense, Madam Cui returned empty-handed and said, "Madam, Madam is crying and fussing and falling ill."

Mrs. Qin Tai: "..."

She was too lazy to speak, rubbed her eyebrows again, and sent all the servants in the room, and stayed alone for a long time.

When Qin Zhun, the Marquis of Zhongyi, came back to greet him at dusk, Mrs. Qin Tai persuaded him earnestly:

"Ah Zhun, this marriage of Sister Sheng was bestowed by the emperor. Although it is only an oral order, it is also a holy will. Unless Sister Sheng dies, this marriage cannot be cancelled."

"Since that's the case, let's discuss it carefully. If we continue to make trouble, it's just a joke for Beppu to see our Qin family!"

"You are now leading the errand of the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. If you violate the holy will, do you still want to go further?!"

"Your father died early, and now the Hou Mansion has become more and more declining..."

"Think about it for yourself. After all, Sister Sheng is the daughter of your husband and wife. When I'm old, I can't handle so much."

With Mrs. Qin's words, Qin Zhun's face became more and more ugly.

In the final analysis, what Mrs. Qin Tai said also spoke to Qin Zhun's concerns. On the one hand, he was unwilling to marry Cheng Shiang's rude daughter, but on the other hand, no matter how bold he was, he would not dare to marry him. Resisting the decree and refusing to get married, thought that it could be delayed for a day, but now it seems that it can't be delayed.

The room fell into silence, and Qin Zhun did not speak for a long time.

How Mrs. Qin couldn't see her son's entanglement, and sighed: "In the end, if your daughter-in-law didn't want to plot against Sister Ji, how could things get to this point!!"

Speaking of this matter, Mrs. Qin Tai was very disappointed with the Su family.

She knew that the Su family was dissatisfied with Qin Di, but the dissatisfaction turned into dissatisfaction, and she actually used the marriage to calculate the life of her niece. Her heart was too sinister!

Mrs. Qin Tai: "A Zhun, the Qin family owes her sister Di. Now that she has this good marriage, it is her blessing. Even if the Qin family can't help her, don't hold her back."

"How can you say it is her uncle!"

Mrs. Qin Tai said what she should say and sent her son away.

That day, after Qin Zhun returned to Qiongzhi Courtyard, he had a big quarrel with the Su Clan. Finally, he slammed the door and walked away. There was a sound of banging bells smashing things in Qiongzhi Courtyard, and the servants of the Courtyard were silent.

The next day, Qin Zhun personally sent the matching cards and account book to Mrs. Qin Tai, and he made the decision to give Qin Sheng's Geng Tie to the matchmaker of the Cheng family.

After Qin Sheng learned the news, he cried, made trouble, and hanged himself in his yard, but Qin Zhun was not the Su family, so he was not soft-hearted at all, and only let the servants in the room look at Qin Sheng with an attitude It was very clear that if Qin Sheng died, all their servants would also be killed.

Naturally, these news inevitably reached Qin Di's ears, and Qin Di just smiled when he heard it.

In the past few days, she has been busy struggling with needles and threads, trying to sew a forehead under the guidance of Du Ruo.

This forehead was sewn for Princess Duan. After the marriage was decided, she would definitely go to Duanwang's mansion to meet Princess Duan. Her female red is not good, nor can she embroider, so she can only do simple forehead wipes.

Du Ruo had a lot of ideas. He taught Qin Di to sew some pearls on his forehead, and he used cross-stitching and applique stitches to make tricks. Qin Di was so busy every day that he wanted to grow six arms like Nezha. Did not disturb her.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Princess Su, on behalf of the Duan Wangfu, sent Gengtie to Huangjue Temple to invite Master Yuanwu to marry, and got a good fortune.

Princess Su sent the result of the marriage to the Qin family. After that, the representative of the Duan Wangfu from the Zongren Palace performed the Naji ceremony and made a letter of appointment.

Since then, the marriage of the two is officially set.

In the afternoon of the same day, Princess Duan officially sent a message to the Qin family, asking Qin Di to come over.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, Qin Di made an appointment on time and went to Duan Wangfu to meet Princess Duan.

She dressed up on purpose today. Outside was a crimson butterfly wearing a flower-cut silk robe, and inside a frost-colored small vertical-neck tunic with green calyx flowers embroidered on the neckline, and a water-red dress with a long thread on the bottom. A pair of ruby ​​and red gold dragonfly beaded flowers are worn with a pair of blue silk tied in a double flat bun.

Her facial features are good, her eyebrows are as far away, her skin is jade red and her lips are red, and her little face the size of a slap is beautiful and lovely, and she doesn't need to dress up.

Duan Wangfei looked at Qin Di up and down, how to see how good, her eyes finally fell on the white jade ring of suet on Qin Di's waist, and she was stunned for a moment.

It was a ring pendant the size of a baby's fist. The jade was lustrous and delicate, and the ring pendant was engraved with a wishful lark pattern.

Others may not know the origin of this ring pendant, but Princess Duan knows it best.

The ring was given to him by his grandmother when he was eight years old.

His son has always cherished it, and he often wears it on his body, but he actually gave it to Qin Di. It is conceivable that he attaches great importance to this daughter-in-law who has never been there.

The smile on the corner of Princess Duan's lips deepened a bit.

While Princess Duan was looking at Qin Di, Qin Di was also looking at Princess Duan.

Princess Duan is over fifty years old, with fair skin and plump body, with a little silver in her hair, neatly combed in a round bun, and wearing a floral robe with a cloud pattern in autumn fragrance.

She didn't wear much jewelry on her body, only a hairpin inlaid with oriental beads was inserted into her bun, and she wore a pair of emerald earrings the size of red beans on her earlobes.

She had a smile on the corners of her eyes and brows on her white face, loving and kind, and she looked several years younger than her actual age.

Princess Duan was as good-natured as the Queen's aunt said. Qin Di thought to himself, he suddenly relaxed a lot, and his smile became sweeter.

Qin Di took a forehead wipe from Du Ruo and presented it to Princess Duan, and said generously, "Princess, this is my forehead wipe. Don't take it as a surprise for my poor craftsmanship."

Princess Duan took over the forehead with a smile, and keenly noticed that there were many pinholes in the little girl's hand, and she knew it.

For her, Qin Di's intention is the most important.

Duan Wangfei looked at the forehead in her hand with love, and praised with a smile: "It's really ingenious."

This is a primrose-colored edging forehead, with small pearls the size of a grain of rice sewn into the shape of five plum blossoms in the center, simple yet gorgeous.

"Princess, if you like it." Qin Di also followed with a smile, a pair of pupils like black jade gleaming.

She heard from Queen Wei that Princess Duan likes bright colors, not plain colors, so she deliberately wore bright crimson today, and the primrose color on her forehead was also carefully selected by her, and she was pressed with edging. pressed tones.

Princess Duan was about to instruct her to help her put away the forehead, but suddenly the tip of her nose moved, then stopped, and said with a smile, "Xiaoji, the incense on the forehead smells so good, what kind of fragrance is it?"

She called Qin Di "Xiao Di" directly, with a hint of intimacy in her tone.

Qin Di was so bored recently that he was learning how to make perfume, and replied with a smile: "I made it to "Yu Xiang Pu", called Bai Zhuo Xiang, and said that after washing it a hundred times with water, the fragrance will not disappear. I gave it to me The handkerchief has also been smoked, and after washing it four or five times, there is indeed some residual fragrance, but I can't say whether it can be washed hundreds of times."

Princess Duan was even more happy when she saw Qin Di. She felt that this girl was not only good-looking, but also pleasing to talk. No wonder her son also liked it.

She smiled and said, "I have a very rare incense here, which is only found in the western region. It is called Jiuhe incense. After this incense is smoked, you can calm your mind." After speaking, she turned her head and instructed, "Mother Wang , you go and fetch the two boxes of nine and incense from me."

Grandma Wang was stunned for a moment. This Jiuhe incense was used by the princess every day, so she brought two boxes with her when she came out.

Mammy Wang led the order to retreat, and Princess Duan greeted Qin Di with a smile to sit down, "Xiao Di, sit down and talk."

The servant girl serving in the room quickly served Qin Di with tea and snacks.

"Come on, try this Lu'an tea." Princess Duan said with a smile, "this is what Zezhi's grandmother brought from Jiangnan."

While speaking, Princess Duan's gaze lingered on the ring pendant on Qin Di's waist again, and her smile became more loving.

Qin Di obediently picked up the tea cup and tasted the tea in a decent manner.

In the blue-and-white porcelain tea cup, the color of the soup is clear and translucent, the tea leaves in the shape of melon seeds are green in color, even in size, and a fresh tea fragrance blows.

Qin Di took a sip of the hot tea and praised "fresh, mellow and sweet". In fact, she still didn't know anything about tea, but Queen Wei had told her about the good tea of ​​the princess before, so she did some homework in advance.

Concubine Duan said again: "If you like it, Zezhi also likes this Lu'an tea the most. Every time his grandmother sends me tea, the child will take half of it."

Qin Di silently continued to look like he was drinking tea, and really didn't know how to answer this.

Hearing that Gu Zezhi became "this child" in the princess's mouth, it really felt strange and inconsistent. How should I put it, it's like... as if the image of the great villain of Jin Thigh Yingwei suddenly collapsed.

Concubine Duan continued to talk to her son enthusiastically: "Zezhi, this child looks gentle and elegant, but in fact he has a very domineering temperament, and he will pay for it."

Qin Di took it seriously, and felt that Princess Duan really saw his essence clearly.

She accidentally nodded slightly.

Duan Wangfei has been paying attention to Qin Di's every move, and she also noticed that, the corners of her lips were raised a little higher, and she said with a smile: "If he bullies you in the future, Xiao Di, come and complain to me, and I will teach you a lesson. he."

"Zezhi, he was very naughty when he was a child. I still remember that when he was five years old, when the maids and ladies were not paying attention, he climbed on the roof and fell from it. Fortunately, he was caught by the palace. The guards caught it."

"He became interested in practicing martial arts because of this. His father Wang thought he was spoiled and couldn't hold on. As a result, this child is very stubborn. No matter what he learns, he must do his best."

"Even if there is a fight, there is no exception..."

Recalling the incident when her son was young, Princess Duan was angry and funny, with obvious joy in her eyes.

Her love for Gu Zezhi is obvious and beyond doubt.

Qin Di looked at Princess Duan, forgot to drink tea for a while, and his eyes flickered.

In the original plot of the novel, it was mentioned that because Gu Zezhi refused to accept that he could not be the heir, he murdered his father and mother in cold blood, and then fled abroad for several years.

Qin Di has not been in contact with Princess Duan for a long time, but she can see that when she mentions her son Gu Zezhi, she is happy from the bottom of her heart, and Princess Duan's temperament does not seem to be difficult to get along with.

Although Gu Zezhi was a little more thoughtful and his stomach was a little darker, he would never have swung the butcher's knife at the princess who was digging his heart and lungs because of impulsiveness. It is even more impossible for the father to kill the mother.

So, what hidden secrets are hidden in the novel? !

This thought just passed by in a flash, when Princess Duan got up and said, "Xiaoji, you rarely come to the palace, let me show you around."

Qin Di hurriedly stood up and responded fluently.

Princess Duan took Qin Di to the small garden on the northeast side of the palace for a walk. Along the way, she continued to gossip with Qin Di.

Princess Duan also thought that Qin Di was about to marry, so she brought up some affairs in the palace, lest the little girl's eyes will be smeared in the future, and she can only beat her teeth and swallow in her stomach.

Princess Duan walked and talked all the way, basically what she thought and said.

"Although Zezhi is the direct son, the eldest son of the mansion is Gu Chenzhi, the eldest son of the prince, who is eighteen years older than Zezhi. Concubine Shizi was born in a scholarly family, and his father is a four-rank pass judge. The eldest son of the prince, Gu Haojun, recently We are already talking about getting married and seeing marriage."

"The lord has two side concubines, one is the biological mother of the prince, Feng side concubine, and the other is Jiang side concubine, who gave birth to the next son for the lord. There are five sons and eight daughters under the lord's knees. Except for Ze, they are all concubines."

"Zezhi's three concubine sisters and one concubine sister are also married, and there are four younger sisters of Xingwu, Xing6, Xingqi and Xing8 waiting to be in the boudoir..."

Princess Duan briefly introduced these unmarried concubine daughters and concubine daughters-in-law. After all, when Qin Di married into the palace in the future, it was inevitable that he would have contact with these sisters and sister-in-law.

Others, such as Wang Ye Ji's concubine, etc., the princess didn't say much, anyway, these people don't need Zezhi's daughter-in-law to socialize.

Qin Di listened with a smile, with subtlety in his heart, and couldn't help but complain: Duan Wang's kidneys are really good.

With so many Yingying Yanyans, concubines and concubines, the backyard of this palace is really lively enough.

but……

Qin Di closed her cloak and looked at Princess Duan's smiling profile. Except for the obvious disgust in the princess' tone when she mentioned the prince, Gu Chenzhi, she was gentle towards other concubines and concubines. impartial.

It should be said that Princess Duan also deliberately let herself know her attitude towards the prince, right? After all, Princess Duan's attitude out of ten also represents Gu Zezhi's attitude.

Qin Di pursed his lips, thinking thoughtfully.

When the wind blew, the corner of her cloak was blown up, revealing an octagonal stove in her hand.

At a glance, Princess Duan saw that the hand stove in Qin Di's hand was familiar. The stove cover was carved with a pair of magpies holding plums. Obviously, this hand stove was a pair with the one brought back by her son that day.

The smile on Princess Duan's face was even deeper, with a bit of joking, a bit of fun, a bit of understanding, and a bit of relief.

She smiled and said loyally for her son: "Xiaoji, Zezhi is different from his father, Zezhi does not have a room, and all he uses in his yard are servants, guards and some rough women."

Qin Di curled the corners of his lips.

Not to mention, Gu Zezhi's self-care ability is really not like that of a prince and noble son. He doesn't need any servants. On the way to Takizhou, he took care of himself properly.

Wang Mama followed closely behind, watching Princess Duan chatting happily with Qin Di, her lips were also smiling.

In recent years, the princess has been worried about the marriage of the third master, and she has argued with the king several times for this reason.

Now that the third master's marriage is finally settled, the princess' heart can be at ease. The future third lady looks good, and she gets along well with the princess. After the third lady passes the door, the princess has another person to talk to. .

Grandma Wang was also looking forward to Qin Di coming through the door quickly.

"Princess, let's take a break in the warm pavilion in front?" Qin Di suggested with a smile. She was not tired, but she could see that Princess Duan's expression showed a little tiredness.

Duan Wangfei replied with a smile, pointing to the small lake beside the warm pavilion: "There is a group of fire carp in this lake, red as fire."

The maids were very clever, not only served tea and snacks in the warm pavilion, but also brought an extra box of fish food.

As soon as Princess Duan sat down, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed softly.

Qin Di hurriedly stroked her back, and then ordered the maid to pour a cup of warm tea.

Princess Duan coughed a few times, then finally came over and took a few sips of warm tea.

She wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and smiled at Qin Di, "It's okay, I just felt a little cold recently."

Seeing that Princess Duan's face was a little pale, Qin Di asked with concern, "Have you ever seen an imperial doctor?"

"I have seen it." Princess Duan said.

"I've seen two imperial physicians, and I've been taking the soup for ten days, but nothing has improved." Mammy Wang on the side couldn't help but interjected.

While speaking, Wang Ma was a little worried. The princess was in good health, and she had never seen any serious illness in these years.

But since got a cold in autumn this year, the princess's body is getting worse day by day. have asked the government doctor to see it several times, and have drank a lot of soup and medicine, but it is always good or bad. Not long ago, it was even more because the prince sent People's assassination of the third master was very angry, and he became seriously ill. After that, he has been ill until now.

After coming to the capital, the imperial doctor has seen two times but nothing improved.
