Chapter 406 She Won't Forget the Rules
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Pei Shaorong and Zhao Chengye's wedding.
The Pei Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the gates were filled with carriages and horses.
Xu Muhua arrived early, and the carriages had to be arranged for a long time before they were properly arranged, which made her regret that she didn't take a sedan chair. This was the same feeling as being stuck in a traffic jam in the parking lot and having no place to park.
Pei Shaorong was the legitimate granddaughter of Pei Taifu, and was highly valued and favored by Pei Taifu. Now she was going to become the Crown Princess, so there were countless people coming to the house to send her off on this day.
Xu Muhua followed the servants in, and when she saw the crowded footsteps in the house, she paused and wanted to turn around and leave!
Walking in, she felt as if she had returned to the modern era, traveling on the statutory long holiday and arrived at a popular tourist attraction. There were people everywhere, people everywhere!
If she stood on a high place and looked down at this
moment, it would be as if she had arrived at the Terracotta Warriors! However, as soon as the maid reported, the scene was as if the mute button was pressed. Then they retreated to both sides like a tide, making way for her. Everyone looked at her with different eyes.
She did not change her expression and walked in confidently.
Pei Shaorong was already in a good mood at this time. Seeing Xu Muhua coming, she immediately stood up and stretched out her hand to her.
Xu Muhua took a big step forward, held her hand, and congratulated her with a smile: "Congratulations, Arong! Women on their wedding day are really the most beautiful. You haven't even put on makeup yet, but you're already so beautiful. I can't imagine how beautiful you will be later. You will definitely charm the prince tonight!"
Pei Shaorong blushed, glanced at her shyly, and couldn't help pinching her gently, "Your mouth!"
The young ladies around looked at each other.
What's going on? The future prince's concubine really doesn't seem to mind at all, she doesn't care!
But some people sneered in their hearts, thinking that Xu Muhua must be pretending!
Xu Muhua asked someone to send the gift two days ago. She didn't want to be watched like a monkey on a day like today. No matter what she gave, these people would have something to say.
There were too many people, and Pei Shaorong didn't have much time to talk to Xu Muhua alone. She was soon pushed back to her seat to continue dressing.
Xu Muhua looked at her for a while and felt that the time was too long, so she stood up and walked out to get some fresh air.
"Muhua, today is the wedding day of Arong and the prince. Your wedding day with the prince is not far away, right?"
A faint voice suddenly came from behind, which scared Xu Muhua.
She patted her chest and looked back -
"It's Xuehe, you scared me!"
Sun Xuehe's outfit today seemed to be unique.
She wore a lotus pink long skirt, a light green straight-collared, double-breasted sleeveless jacket, and a red plum shawl on her arm. She had a double bun on her head, which was tied with a pink ribbon, and finally tied with two delicate small bells, which made a soft and pleasant sound when she walked.
Her dress today was very suitable for her name, like a lotus bud about to bloom, delicate and fresh. Compared with her usual conservative appearance, it was very different.
It’s not that Sun Xuehe doesn’t dress up. She also has her own little tricks in her usual dress, but it’s not obvious. It seems that she is afraid that others will find out. She wants to show her beauty very carefully and restrainedly.
Just like a little girl with low self-esteem, she wants to express herself but dares not.
But today, her dress is obviously carefully prepared. The whole person is radiant, giving people a bright feeling.
Sun Xuehe is not ugly. If she were in the modern world, she would have become a big star if she had entered the entertainment industry. Her oval face looks only as big as a palm, her nose is small and pointed, her mouth is also a cherry mouth, and the corners of her lips are slightly upturned, especially her eyes, which look like a fox.
Unfortunately, the aesthetic taste of the people of Dayong is what later generations call the face of peace and prosperity. Sun Xuehe is not pleasing.
It is said that a demon concubine in the previous dynasty looked like Sun Xuehe. The emperor doted on the demon concubine too much, and for her sake, he built a lot of buildings, which caused labor and financial losses, and eventually led to the destruction of the country.
The world put the blame on the demon concubine. It is said that the demon concubine brought disaster to the country and the people, and was a reincarnation of a fox spirit, specializing in seducing men.
So when Dayong was founded, people, whether they were commoners or upper-class nobles, disliked women with this kind of appearance. Even in the harem, there were rarely concubines with this kind of appearance.
Although it is said that with the development to the present, this prejudice has been much better than when the country was first founded. But the people have been imprisoned by this idea for a long time, and in comparison, this kind of appearance is still not pleasing.
This reason is probably one of the reasons for Sun Xuehe's inferiority complex.
Xu Muhua guessed that it is very likely that someone frequently instilled this idea in front of Sun Xuehe when she was a child, which led to her lack of confidence in her appearance.
She is dressed very brightly today, and the whole person looks bright, but if you look closely, you will find that the makeup on her face is a bit deliberate.
The makeup suppressed the agility and charm brought by the fox eyes, and changed them into almond eyes. The tip of her nose looks bigger than usual, and a little blunt. This makes it look a little inconsistent with her facial features.
So at first glance, she looks bright today, but a closer look will replace this feeling with pity and disappointment.
"Mu Hua, today is Arong and the prince's wedding day. Your wedding day with the prince is not far away, right?"
Sun Xuehe repeated the question just now.
"Yes, it's almost there." What about
next year!
Zhao Chengye fought for this day himself. I heard that the emperor originally planned to let her enter the Eastern Palace at the end of the year. It was Zhao Chengye's own efforts that delayed the time to next year.
"When the time comes, your wedding with the prince will probably be the same as today, right?"
Xu Muhua hurriedly said, "How could that be? Arong is the crown princess, and I'm just a concubine. Being able to have a wedding is already a great favor and a gift from the emperor, how can it be compared with the crown princess? What's more, Arong is the principal wife, and I'm just a concubine. There's a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and the rules can't be violated!"
Sun Xuehe looked at her straight, walked a few steps closer, and said softly, "But you and Arong are good friends, I don't think Arong will mind."
"Of course Arong won't mind, but I can't bully her just because Arong is tolerant and kind! The principal wife is the principal wife, and the concubine is the concubine. I will not forget what my identity is when I enter the East Palace in the future!"
Xu Muhua said righteously.
Sun Xuehe didn't move, staring at Xu Muhua without blinking.
If someone else was stared at like this, they would probably get goosebumps all over their body. Xu Muhua was very calm and unmoved.
It seems that Sun Xuehe is going to go down the path of evil and never look back.
She must find a chance to talk to Arong and ask her to call Sun Xuehe to the East Palace less after the wedding, so as not to give her the chance!
