C10 marriage

On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Qi was getting married.

Whether intentionally or not, the day the Emperor chose was unknown. Shen Qi felt that the Emperor definitely did not think too much about it and only gave her a month to prepare for her marriage. Coincidentally, she was due for marriage on the fifteenth day of the eighth month.

Shen Qi was just thinking if she should take a mooncake to eat in the palanquin. In any case, this kowtow was just a formality. The male host was still lying on the bed. Who was she going to kowtow to? A rooster?

Other people would have a procedure of putting on makeup when they were married, but Shen Qi would dispense with it right away. She was not even fifteen years old, and did not want to open her face so early, wear her wedding dress, and cover her head. She did not even have to put on makeup, and no one would look at her.

However, Xu still came over to comb her hair symbolically a few times. Afterwards, she helped to tie it up and covered it with a hood.

When he heard that the wedding procession had arrived, his eldest brother came to carry his younger sister out. He had three younger sisters in total, two of them were married on his back, and the other one was carried straight to the palace.

However, when he carried his two younger sisters out, his feelings were different. His second sister knew that she had married well, so she was both happy and reluctant. However, this little sister was different.

Knowing that the road ahead was bumpy, and that her family would not be able to help her, Shen Jiaxuan was very conflicted.

Lady Xu felt that she had finally made it to this step and that nothing had gone wrong. She obviously heaved a sigh of relief.

You have to understand that in this past month, she was extremely cautious, afraid that Shen Qi would think up some kind of traitor, and at that time, the people in the upper echelons would criticize the Shen family for not being able to take the wrath of the heaven's family, even if it was for the sake of the old master's loyalty to the country, it would not be something that an ordinary person could bear, and Shen Fei would very likely be beaten up and sent to the cold palace.

Fortunately, nothing happened. At least she was sensible! Xu silently thought in his heart.

The one who came to escort King Duan was his trusted guard, Yan Yi. He was dressed in tight clothes, and it was even black, and his entire body was cold and solemn.

When he saw Yan Yi, the atmosphere became even colder, and in an instant, Shen Qi felt like he was participating in his own funeral, it was extremely strange!

No matter what, Shen Qi still sat in the sedan chair, the wedding curtain was lowered, and the bridal sedan chair silently walked out of Shang Shu Manor with the sound of "Up!". It was probably the weirdest wedding in history, one of a kind.

Although Shen Qi's wedding was very strange, there were quite a few people watching on both sides of the street. Everyone was curious about the new Queen's Consort who was able to get on the bridal sedan alive, just how strong of a heart could she endure such a favor!

Seeing that the wedding procession was very silent, no one dared to make a ruckus, but when they saw the bride's dowry, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "This is too extravagant! Over two hundred dowry bearers already know that every dowry is real, because their posture tells others that these things are very heavy!"

It seemed that this Third Young Miss of the Shang Shu Manor was very favored! Those people who did not know the truth naturally thought so. If they did not marry a prince whose life and death were unknown, then no matter how you looked at it, it could be considered a glorious marriage. What a pity!

However, it was a pity that Shen Qi didn't know. Shen Qi only knew that she was both sleepy and hungry, yet she had already eaten a bowl of bird's nest porridge in the morning and was not allowed to eat at all. It was simply too inhumane.

But the nurse had warned him early in the morning, "My dear lady, you must endure it. This apple is inedible to him!"

Shen Qi, "..." A wet nurse who knew herself too well was also very nervous!

They shakily walked all the way to the King's Mansion. When the palanquin stopped, Zi Zhu Zi Li stepped forward to help Shen Qi off the palanquin. There were people leading the way ahead of them to the main hall.

As Shen Qi expected, the person she was paying respects to was indeed a big red rooster, a big red rooster with red silk flowers hanging from its neck.

Shen Qi looked at the rooster beside him through the edge of the hood and thought that it was very fat. Fried? White? Braised rice? Ah, so hungry!

's gaze was focused on the chicken, and upon seeing that someone was prostrating themselves in front of the chicken's noble head, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. This was truly too funny! When he heard the last sentence that was sent to the bridal room, Shen Qi heaved a huge sigh of relief in his heart.

She couldn't exactly tell where they were staying, but judging from the distance they were in and the direction they were in, it should not be considered to be out of the way. At least, it was not as remote as the place she was living in Shang Shu Manor.

After entering the bridal chamber, because there was no bridegroom, no one in the whole fortune could say auspicious words such as early birth of a noble son. Who should he give birth to? Don't give the prince a green hat, it's not funny at all.

With just a few words of advice, everyone dispersed, and felt sympathy and pity for the newly appointed Queen's Consort. For such a young girl to encounter such a situation, she was truly unlucky, but no one dared to say it out loud, unless they did not want to live anymore.

Once they left, Shen Qi impatiently took off her veil and, with the help of Zi Zhu, Zi Li and the others, took off the accessories on her head. At this time, Forge brought hot water to wash her face.

Shen Qi was so moved that she almost cried. This girl was too valiant, she already had the ability to get hot water right after arriving at the Duke Palaces.

"Miss, Yan Yi sent someone to deliver this, he even said that he would send food to Miss in a bit, so I'm telling you to wait a moment."

Shen Qi, "..." Didn't I say it was a waste of time! However, this Yan Yi is a good person, she is thoughtful, and previously said that he was like a mourner, I am sorry, I was wrong!

When Shen Qi was done washing up, the food was served, but the one who brought the food was a mother that was around 40 years old, Shen Qi was stunned, wasn't this supposed to be sent by a servant?

The mama looked at Shen Qi with a gentle voice, and bowed first when she saw him. "This old servant greets wangfei."

"Mommy, wake up." Shen Qi looked at her with a smile, then gestured for Zi Li to help the person up.

I'm surnamed Jiang, and I'm the deputy director of the front courtyard. If Consort Wang has any orders, please come and command me. I don't know what you'd like to eat, so I sent some over. Jiang mama was very polite to Shen Qi. She was the first female owner of the Duke Palace and had come in alive, not to mention that it was even under these circumstances. The servants of the Duke Palace couldn't help but feel some sympathy for her, so they didn't think of making things difficult for her.

Previously, he had heard that the Third Miss of the Shang Shu Manor was still young, but now that he looked at her, he realized that although she had grown up, there was still a hint of childishness on her face. However, she had an outstanding temperament, elegant demeanor, and a delicate and beautiful appearance.

A pair of smiling eyes, a pair of dimples appearing on her cheeks, making people unable to stop themselves from criticizing her. Her eyes were clear and clear, she was a wise person. With this kind of master, the servants were relieved.

"I'll have to trouble Jiang mama to personally come this time." Shen Qi replied with a smile, then took the opportunity to hand over a rather heavy purple bamboo purse.

Jiang mama did not decline, weighing everything casually before slipping into his sleeve. He only felt that it was heavy, everyone said that the dowry for Princess Hua-Yang's marriage was rich, and it was indeed as expected. After that, he bowed and thanked her before leaving the bridal chamber. His movements were as smooth as flowing water.

The courtyard of the new house was not far from the Main yard who was recuperating at the end of the line, but it was not too close either. Shen Qi would have to wait until tomorrow to meet the King.

This time was the best time to use her, so she was told to spread the news, probably because someone had mentioned it before, or maybe because the King's Mansion was originally very strict with their discipline, no one came out to make things difficult for them, if they wanted to say something, someone would do it, and they would even be extremely courteous to them.

Shen Qi was even more satisfied, this kind of life, even if it was ahead of time, it was still considered the best. With her rich dowry, it would be enough for her to eat and drink for her entire life.

Just because she wasn't worried didn't mean others wouldn't be worried. Wang Ma was very wronged for her young miss, what kind of scene was that when that young miss got married? Moreover, there was no groom after entering the bridal chamber, and only the bride stayed in the empty room.

These maidservants were not worthy of their young miss. Miss had married such a man so easily, but the crux was that her life was uncertain. Wasn't this equivalent to harming the young miss for the rest of her life?

Don't tell me he's still in a coma! He was simply pushing her into a fire pit with his own eyes. The key point was that it was still the royal family. They couldn't fight back, and they had to be as sullen as they could be.

"Miss, the water is here." Forsythia brought two old women into the house with a bucket of water.

"Put it down, we don't need to serve here." Over ten years of ancient life, although she had already assimilated Shen Qi's clothes into her mouth, other than when she was young and could not take care of herself, she was still not used to people helping her bathe.

Since she was able to bathe by herself, she had not been served by anyone ever since. Zi Zhu and the others were already used to it, so they arranged and changed their clothes, used soappods, and other things before silently retreating.

Even if it was winter, they would still have to bathe everyday, let alone this kind of weather. Although it was already autumn, but the autumn tiger was not to be underestimated, and had long been drenched in sweat from the heat. If it wasn't because she was really hungry and it was her first day at the Duke's Palace, she would have already ordered people to bathe in some water.

At this moment, he sat in the bath barrel and let out a sigh of relief. He finally felt alive.

When she came out of the bathroom, Zi Zhu walked over after hearing the noise. She picked up the kernels and sucked the water out of her hair, and after sucking it in once, she switched to a new kernels and continued doing this again and again. It wasn't until she switched to five or six kernels that her hair was half dry.

Shen Qi did not tie his hair back, she draped it over her shoulders and waited for it to dry. Her hair was fine, black and bright. It was long, but very supple. It was many times better than the hair she used to wear in the barber shop.

While waiting for his hair to dry, he leaned against the soft couch and casually picked up a book to flip through. "Is everything in order?"

"Alright, Wang Ma will bring her servants to tidy things up. Although it is still a bit messy, it is still properly put away." The purple bamboo carefully used the scissors to cut off the twigs on the candle for her before replying softly.

Shen Qi nodded her head: "Tonight, Zi Li will stay on night watch, the rest of you go back and rest, remember that we are at King's Mansion, not Shang Shu Manor, when we have just arrived, we have to think about everything first, if not, your Young Miss here would not necessarily be able to protect you."

All of them bowed at the same time: "Yes, Miss."

Shen Qi did not correct them by calling her that. After all, there was no male host to admit to it, and her title of an imperial concubine was always unreasonable, so this was the first thing she did.
