wedding dress

Chapter 133 Congrats
are you willing?
It's not that I don't want to...

But this incident came too suddenly, as the saying goes, Xiaodong was not mentally prepared at all.

She thought about who she would marry in the future, and compared the candidates who were of a similar age and good family background.But each one seems to lack something.

Just like Shen Jing, he is very good and perfect, but he is more like a work of art - Xiaodong can't imagine what it would be like to lie on the same bed with him?

Perhaps subconsciously, she still doesn't regard herself as an ancient person.

Even if you talk and act, you do the same things as the ancients every day, but some things that are engraved in your bones will not change.

Perhaps because of this, it is said that people in the legend drink Mengpo soup before reincarnation.Let an ancient person go to modern times, and let a modern person return to ancient times. It is best to forget the previous life, so as not to be full of doubts, conflicts and incompatibility in the new life.

Xiaodong feels that she is extremely lucky. During this period of her life, she has no worries about food and clothing, and is cared for by her father and elder brother. Although there are court battles and political turmoil, she is still alive after all.

Xiaodong tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, someone came in with a lamp.

Tonight Hongjing was spending the night outside, but with a flicker of light, it was Mrs. Hu who lifted the curtain.

"Mother Hu?"

Hu held the tea tray and sat down beside the bed.

"Not asleep yet?"

"Mom hasn't slept yet?"

"Yeah." Hu poured the tea into the cup, and a warm sweet aroma filled the air: "Drink some hot tea, you can sleep better."

Xiaodong nodded and picked up the teacup.

The room was very quiet, Xiaodong took a sip of tea and tasted the sweet aroma of dates and a scent of wheat.

Hu said softly: "Do you still remember the first time you entered the palace after you came back to the capital?"

"remember."

I was very impressed.

"Actually, Empress Dowager Shengde is not a very smart woman, but her natal family is capable."

Why did you suddenly mention Empress Dowager Shotoku?

Xiaodong looked at Hu Shi with some doubts.

"Although she has been in the palace for decades, she has not learned to be smart at all. Otherwise, her child would not be easily plotted against, and she herself would not end up in that end."

Xiaodong listened in a daze.

"I served in the palace back then. Later, the master graciously let me out of the palace and pointed me to a good marriage. It's a pity that my fortune is poor. When I was pregnant with the child, my husband died. The child was seven months old. When I was born prematurely, I only lived for four days...Later when I came to the palace, I treated you as my own daughter all these years...When the princess went, I asked the prince to promise one thing."

Xiaodong whispered, "Is it... my business?"

"Yes, my concubine implores my lord, don't marry you into a family of officials and officials in the future, just find someone who knows the cold and the hot, and treats you wholeheartedly."

"The concubine didn't break down because of giving birth. It's the Empress Dowager Shengde who ordered someone to give her medicine. If she didn't give birth, she could still save her life. But if she conceived and gave birth, I'm afraid the lives of adults and children would be difficult to save." .”

"why?"

"Because at that time...the concubine lived in the palace and had a better relationship with the emperor—" Hu said softly, "It's not the first time that the Empress Dowager Shengde administered this medicine to a woman in the palace. It's a pity that she only thought that she could She gave medicine to others, but she didn't think that others could return her the same way."

Could it be that Empress Dowager Shengde went crazy because she was stimulated?

Also... If you want to go crazy, you will be crazy. After a few years of claustrophobia, you will suddenly go crazy...

Xiaodong felt her hands trembling slightly, and she gently put down the teacup.

"At that time, the imperial physician had advised the concubine many times not to conceive and have children. At that time, the Empress Dowager Shengde also pointed out Concubine Ming's sister to the prince, and the empress also stuffed her confidants into the palace..." Hu sighed Tone: "The princess has been taking the decoction, but for some reason, she is still pregnant. The princess insists on giving birth to the child."

Xiaodong swallowed: "So... Mother..."

"Yes, everyone disagreed at that time." Hu said: "The prince really loves the princess deeply. During that time, he quit everything and lived with the princess in the villa. The princess was born on the day of his birth. Xue, I was waiting outside, and there were two other women who came with me. In the end, the princess chose me... The midwife mother gave the princess to me, wrapped in a pink and yellow swaddle, with a small face Little one... thinking about it now is as vivid as what happened yesterday."

Mrs. Hu stroked Xiaodong's hair: "In a blink of an eye, the princess has grown up so much, it's time to find her in-laws. I really can't bear it... I think the prince and the prince are also in the same mood."

Xiaodong leaned on Hu's shoulder: "Then I won't marry, just stay at home for the rest of my life."

Hu smiled: "How can there be a girl who doesn't go out when she grows up? This day will happen, and the prince will definitely find a good marriage for the princess."

Xiaodong didn't make a sound.

Did King An choose Qin Lie?

It should be said that Qin Lie came together to fight for the opportunity, right?

"Go to bed earlier." Hu patted her head: "It may be colder tomorrow."

Probably the tea really soothes the nerves, Xiaodong felt sleepy not long after lying down.

Although it can be regarded as living two lifetimes, it is the first time to get married.

In her previous life, she had never been married——

What was Xiaodong in the previous life like?
Not very beautiful, not very cute, standing in the crowd, never the most outstanding one.But the popularity is very good, and the number of quarrels with friends can be counted by wrenching hands.All the way to school smoothly...

Also had love.

Maybe that can't be called love.

What should love be like?
There is someone waiting for her after class. I am used to having someone accompany her across the zebra crossing on the way to school. I am used to having someone push her to the front in the snack bar to line up for her. After self-study next night, the two of them sneak outside the classroom hallway holding hands.

But in the end the man turned and left first.

Xiaodong turned over and hugged the quilt.

The youthful relationship that happened in the student days may have ended in a hurry before it had time to brew into love.

But this time, they didn't have time to fall in love, but jumped to the stage of getting married all of a sudden.

An Wang said that what matters is her will.

If she also likes Qin Lie, then all obstacles are not obstacles.

But, does she like Qin Lie?
Xiaodong thought in a daze, do you like it?

In this day and age, a woman's wishes don't matter.Yao Jinfeng loves the third prince, but she cannot marry him.And other people, and other people, most of them never even met their husband-in-law before they got married.

Xiaodong originally thought that his future would be like this——

Follow the path that all must follow.

There's nothing wrong with that.

The next day Xiaodong's trance was even noticed by Master Wu. She was very careful stitch by stitch when she embroidered, but unfortunately she embroidered in the wrong direction.

Master Wu was not polite and asked her to dismantle all the embroidery.Xiaodong bowed her head obediently to listen to the instruction, and then started to embroider from the beginning.

However, even though she was doing her work seriously this time, when she looked up, she would involuntarily glance at the window.

She has too many questions.

However, before her birthday, Qin Lie should not come again, right?

Thinking of his flushed face when he left, Xiaodong paused.

"The princess?"

"Ah," Xiaodong came back to his senses and asked, "Look here, if you embroider a circle, will it look uneven instead?"

"Well, don't circle the line here, just slide over from the bottom." Master Wu patiently demonstrated once: "Come on, the princess will try again."

Xiaodong came once as usual: "Is that so?"

"Yes, exactly."

She had never felt that time passed so slowly. Plum Blossom was chasing her tail around the corner of the table, because it was too lazy to go outside the house when the weather was cold, and always circled around the house.Hongfu just laughed: always leaning towards the stove, be careful to burn bald hair and turn into a tabby cat, that would be ugly.

Xiaodong bent down and picked up Meihua.

It's a bit heavy to start with, this lazy cat can't eat it, and it will soon become a fat cat.

Xiaodong buried her face in Meihua's soft fur, Meihua's tail wagged and slid across her cheeks, a little itchy.

"Princess, Mr. Shen is here."

Xiaodong raised his head: "He came alone? Brother didn't come?"

"No."

Xiaodong put down the plum blossoms, straightened the corners of her skirt: "Please come in."

Shen Jing has already asked for leave and is going back to Hedong. His marriage will be next month.Xiaodong and the others couldn't go to congratulate her, so the congratulatory gifts were prepared early and sent over.

Shen Jing is going to leave in a couple of days, and she doesn't know why she came here at this time.

Shen Jing didn't go around in circles, he took out a scroll from his sleeve: "I have something, I want to ask little sister Xiaodong for help."

Xiaodong's eyes fell on the scroll, and he asked softly, "What is it?"

"Next month, the fifth princess will get married, and I will not be in the capital at that time, please hand this... to her for me."

Xiaodong was stunned for a moment: "For the fifth princess?"

"Yes."

Shen Jing held the scroll in both hands, Xiaodong hesitated for a moment, and reached out to take it.

"Anything else to say?"

Shen Jing shook his head.He looked calm and calm: "No more."

"Is my cousin leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes."

Xiaodong sent him to the door, watching Shen Jing walk away.

That scroll is obviously light and fluffy, but it feels heavy in the hand.

What is written in the scroll?

Maybe some farewell words?
Or maybe it's just an ordinary congratulatory message?After all, Shen Jing is a well-known talent, and many people named him by name, always saying that they don't want to be next to him, as long as a que, a word is enough.Third Young Master Shen's talent is not something to brag about.

Xiaodong ordered Hongjing to find a box to hold the scrolls, and Hongjing brought two: "Which one is suitable for the princess?"

One box is made of colored glaze and lotus flowers, and the other...

"Where did this come from?"

"From the closet."

This was the makeup box that Zhao Zhi gave her. At that time, she brought a set here. Xiaodong saw that she also loved this set of boxes, so she only kept one of them, and returned the others to her.

Xiaodong gently touched the box: "Put this away."

----------------

I found a small mistake when I posted it just now, and it has been corrected now.

By the way, someone left a message expressing their disappointment...

I'm really sorry, but...but...wrong, I still like stories that are willing to be plain.
