Chapter 476 Ansheng
The Empress Dowager granted the marriage, and Xie Zhihuan got married seven days later.
From the moment the Jingbei Palace received the imperial edict, the palace began to make intensive preparations for Xie Zhihuan's wedding.
Unfortunately, the princess had a brain injury and Shen Wan was about to give birth, so the task of preparing the wedding banquet for Xie Zhihuan had to be handed over to the Fourth Madam.
After all, Xie Zhihuan is the daughter of the prince, and she cannot marry too poorly. The Fourth Lady can only give the dowry prepared for her daughter Xie Zhiyao to Xie Zhihuan first.
Because the princess had a head injury and Concubine Wen went crazy, they moved to live on the farm. In addition, time was tight, so the Jingbei Palace did not hold a wedding banquet. On the day of the wedding, the Prince of Song came to pick up the bride on a tall horse.
However, except for not holding a wedding banquet, the Jingbei Prince's Mansion had all the necessary necessities, such as the gatekeeper.
Prince Yuzhang and Chu Yang must not miss such a good opportunity to make things difficult for the Prince of Song.
They used the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, axes, hooks and forks to stop the Prince of Song just as they had troubled Xie Jingyu and Chu Yang before.
The Prince of Song almost got into a fight with Prince Yuzhang and his men at the gate.
However, no matter how much they tried to stop her, they still had to let her go. What if they angered the Prince of Song and decided not to marry her? Then Miss Xie would be in their hands. Although this possibility was not great, if the Duke of Song's Mansion did not really want to marry Xie Zhihuan, they would not be so anxious to ask the Queen Mother for permission to marry her and rush to get the marriage done.
Even when Xie Zhihuan sat in the bridal sedan, she still felt a sense of unreality.
Seven days ago, she was still worried about her marriage and asked her second brother to help her. Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly and she got married in seven days.
But she got married, and her father was not around, and her mother was not around either...
Xie Zhihuan sat in the bridal sedan, and tears fell uncontrollably when she thought of the crazy Concubine Wen.
If my daughter knew that she could marry the prince of Song, she would definitely be happy.
The princess had to recuperate for seven days from the injury on her head. As the prince and Concubine Wen were not at home, it would be unwise for the princess not to show up, so she forced herself to go to the main hall.
After watching the bridal sedan leave, the princess felt a little overwhelmed. Xie Jingyu supported her, "Mother..."
The princess said, "Mother is fine, she just felt a little dizzy after standing for so long."
Xie Jingyu helped the princess back.
Just as he turned around, a servant on horseback stopped at the gate.
The princess was being helped down the stairs, and Steward Zhou said, "Princess, the Jiang family of Shengzhou has sent someone..."
Hearing the voice, the princess stopped and turned around to see the servant of the Jiang family walking into the mansion.
The servant took out a letter from his bosom and presented it to the princess.
Xie Jingyu reached out and took it.
Open the letter.
Open it and show it to the princess.
The letter said that Mrs. Jiang was seriously ill and hoped to see the princess before she died.
Xie Jingyu said, "My mother's injury hasn't healed yet. Shengzhou is far away and the mountains are high. My mother can't go there. I will send someone to the Jiang family to visit Old Madam Jiang on your behalf."
The princess's eyes fell on the letter and she said softly, "Let mother make her own arrangements."
After entering the inner courtyard, the princess said, "You go back to accompany Wan'er, and mother can go back by herself."
Xie Jingyu asked, "Mother, you have a head injury this time. Director Zhao said that you might be able to recover your past memories. Can you remember anything from the past?"
The princess reached out and touched her head. The injured area had already scabbed over. "Mother has lost her memory for over twenty years. I'm lucky that this head injury didn't leave any sequelae. How dare I expect her to remember the past? Mother is doing well without her memories, so I won't force it."
"You go back."
After instructing the maid to take good care of the princess, Xie Jingyu returned to Zhaolanxuan.
Looking at Xie Jingyu's back as he walked away, the princess's eyes fell on the letter in her hand, and her eyes changed from hesitation to determination.
Inside the house, Chen Wan was lying on the small couch eating fruit. Thinking that after Xie Zhihuan got married, the Jingbei Palace would be at peace, and he was in a very happy mood.
If the baby in her womb was born on the same day as in her previous life, she would be able to see the baby in a few days.
Everything needed for the birth of the child has been prepared. Because the princess was injured, Yun was afraid that the princess would worry about her, so she helped find a wet nurse and a midwife. The wet nurse had already entered the mansion the day before and would be taken care of first. The wet nurse had to eat well so that the breast milk would be nutritious.
It was a warm spring day, and the bright sunshine lasted for a few days, and tender yellow leaves emerged from the withered branches.
That day, Chen Wan leaned against the window, looking at the white clouds floating in the sky.
Chun'er came in and said, "Princess, the princess has asked someone to prepare a sedan chair. She is leaving the palace..."
The princess had a head injury and was dizzy even when sending Xie Zhihuan off to get married. Why would she want to leave the house?
Shen Wan was worried and asked, "Can you tell me where you are going?"
"It seems like he's going to Duke Dingguo's Mansion..."
Shen Wan, “…???”
Why do you want to go to Duke Dingguo’s Mansion?
Does the princess want to talk to her mother about something?
If there is really an emergency, you can ask her mother to come to the Jingbei Palace. She is not well yet, why is the princess making such a fuss for herself?
Chen Wan was about to stop her, but Chun'er said, "When this servant returned, the princess was already on her way out of the palace. It's too late..."
Shen Wan became more and more curious about what the princess was doing at Duke Dingguo's mansion.
After waiting patiently for a while, when the maid informed her that the princess had returned home, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu went to greet her.
Xie Jingyu asked, "My mother's injury hasn't healed yet, why are you going to Duke Dingguo's mansion?"
The princess said, "Last night, mother dreamed of Madam Jiang. She was kind to mother and she was seriously ill and wanted to see mother. Mother should go to see her, but Wan'er is about to give birth. I feel bad about leaving the capital at this time. I went to the Dingguo Mansion in the hope that Madam Dingguo would understand that I am not in the capital and ask her to take care of Wan'er..."
dream……
Chen Wan always uses dreaming as an excuse.
The princess said that she dreamed of Old Madam Jiang, and Xie Jingyu couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
But the princess had no reason to lie to them. Besides, the Jiang family did send a letter. The princess was marrying the prince as the adopted daughter of the Jiang family to bring good luck. Old Madam Jiang was seriously ill and wanted to see the princess. The princess wanted to go to Shengzhou, and no one could stop her.
Filial piety is greater than heaven.
Xie Jingyu asked, "Shengzhou is hundreds of miles away from Kyoto. Can your mother handle it?"
The princess said, "Mother is almost fully recovered. Mother is not leaving today, but the day after tomorrow."
Thinking that the princess had gone to Shengzhou, she didn't know when she would come back, so Shen Wan asked, "Can mother leave a few days later?"
A few days later, the baby was born.
The princess shook her head. "I would like to, too, but Madam Jiang is seriously ill. I'm afraid she won't be able to wait for me to return, and then my trip would be in vain."
"We have to go eventually, sooner rather than later."
"Mother knows that you won't be back until the child is at least a month old. Mother is sorry for you."
Shen Wan shook his head.
The princess looked at Xie Jingyu and said, "It's a good thing you didn't go to the border. Otherwise, I would be worried if my mother left the capital and left Wan'er alone in the mansion."
The princess even went to talk to Yun about leaving the capital, which shows her determination.
The princess is fine with anything that doesn't bother her, but no one can stop her from doing what she insists on doing.
Xie Jingyu did not try to persuade the princess to give up the idea of going to Shengzhou. "If you insist on going, I will not stop you. I will send more people to escort you."
The princess nodded and said, "Mother, please go and come back as soon as possible."
