Chapter 472 Wedding
After Shen Qing was named Imperial Concubine, the most popular thing in the harem was the marriage of the third princess.
After the third princess's marriage was decided, preparations had been underway. The queen was in charge at the time, and then the queen was deposed. Shen Qing gave birth to the fifth princess, and during the Chinese New Year, Shen Qing was again conferred the title of imperial concubine. With so many things going on, Defei was really busy. Unfortunately, the third princess's period came on the eve of her wedding, and Defei felt very dizzy.
The third princess's wedding is scheduled for July.
Originally, Shen Qing had no hand in the matter of the Third Princess, but in the end, Shen Qing did get involved.
Shen Qing himself sighed that it was really a coincidence, but since he was involved, he might as well be generous.
Although the third princess ranked third, she was naturally Xuanyuan Ling's first daughter to get married as the eldest and second princesses died young. Xuanyuan Ling cared about her very much and naturally held a grand wedding. The rules for the princess' wedding day were also followed. Originally, the princess had to give farewell gifts to the empress dowager, the queen, Xuanyuan Ling, and her biological mother Qin respectively.
Xuanyuan Ling specially granted a favor, allowing the third princess to bid farewell to Qin, but not on the wedding day, but on the night before.
Qin never thought that she would be able to catch up with the third princess's wedding even though she was sent to the cold palace.
In fact, as the Queen's crimes were uncovered, Qin's poisoning of Shen Qing was cleared, but it was not made public.
After all, it was the Queen who schemed against them. Although there was collusion with the previous dynasty to murder court officials, the Qin family was not wronged. But Xuanyuan Ling knew that the Qin family was punished severely because of the Queen's scheme.
When the Third Princess was getting married, Xuanyuan Ling thought about it and decided that asking the mother and daughter to say goodbye would be a comfort to the Third Princess. As for the Qin family, he did not kill them all. Those who were not found guilty of the Qin family during the court investigation were all kept, and the remaining relatives of the Qin family were also allowed to attend the Third Princess' wedding banquet. This made it known on the surface that he really liked his daughter, the Third Princess.
As for letting Qin leave the cold palace, although it was just a matter of Xuanyuan Ling's words, Xuanyuan Ling was always concerned about Shen Qing. Qin and Shen Qing had been at odds in the past, and there was even a beating that almost took Shen Qing's life. Qin was also involved in the murder of the Shen family father and son.
Now Xuanyuan Ling recalled that he still blamed himself for what he did to Shen Qing. It was fine to let the Third Princess bid farewell before she got married, but it was impossible to let her go out of the cold palace. After all, what would Qin do if she was released? In Xuanyuan Ling's heart, Qin was not a person who would keep quiet, so let it be.
The third princess was very grateful for the grace of receiving the Xuanyuan Feather. She was very busy on the eve of her wedding, but she still put on the wedding dress. Qin Shi would not be able to see her in the wedding dress the next day, so she still wanted to let her see it today.
Qin didn't want to cry in front of her daughter, but she couldn't stop. Seeing the third princess coming over, she knew from the third princess that the emperor also promised the Qin family to attend the wedding banquet, and she also knew that Shen Qing arranged her daughter's marriage. She felt mixed emotions in her heart. She had a thousand words in her heart, but she didn't know how to say them. In the end, she said the same thing: "You have to be good to your husband."
Qin was thankful that her daughter was a noble princess. Unless the princess was infertile, the prince consort could not take a concubine. As a prerequisite, even if the couple ended up being at odds, her daughter would not be in a very bad condition. Of course, if they had a good relationship and could live in harmony, that would be even better. However, she did not have such feelings between men and women, so she did not dare to hope for them. Now she prayed to God in her heart, hoping that her daughter's marriage would be a good one, and not be like her, who made one wrong step and then another.
The mother and daughter said their goodbyes.
On the second day, the third princess got married, bid farewell to Xuanyuan Ling, and left the palace with her husband.
The princess's wedding is naturally grand, and the procession is also huge. Royal relatives such as Princess Huai are also required to see her off. In addition to Princess Huai, there are also many other people who come to see her off.
After getting married, the princess also lived in the princess's mansion. The third princess was not nervous about the prince consort she would face in the future. She knew that she was a princess, not the daughter of an ordinary family. After all, even if the couple was not harmonious, her life would not be difficult. From the beginning, she had never thought of entrusting herself entirely to the prince consort, so naturally she would not feel nervous because this man was about to become her husband.
After the wedding ceremony, the ceremony was considered complete and the servants left.
The third princess went to see the prince consort again. She was a little surprised when she saw him when he lifted the veil just now. She was still surprised when she saw him now. The person Xuanyuan Ling picked had a good family background and good looks, but the third princess did not expect that the prince consort still had a baby face.
The third princess felt that this was not right. According to her birth date, he should be one year older than her, but he looked like he was younger than her.
The prince consort looked at the third princess and glanced at him. In fact, the third princess did not show anything. She had been taught by the nanny for many years. How could she show it on her face just because someone's appearance did not meet her expectations? But the prince consort looked a little sad: "Princess, do you not like my appearance? Well, it's really because I was born badly. I can't be handsome at all."
The third princess really didn't expect him to say that. Actually, he couldn't be said to be handsome. For example, he was not of the same type as her father. But he was not ugly. He was very good-looking, but he had a baby face that made him look young. He couldn't be said to be handsome, he could only be said to be... cute?
So he said, "I don't dislike it."
This is the truth. I'm just surprised by his appearance, not that I dislike him. Besides, even if he's really not good-looking, we still have to see how we get along. It's not that I would dislike him at first sight.
The prince consort listened and moved closer: "Really?"
The third princess nodded. Seeing his eyes fixed on her, she felt it was difficult to refuse for some reason: "Really."
The prince consort laughed and then started chatting with the third princess.
After all, the third princess was a woman, so it was difficult for her to ask, "Is it a good time to chat on the wedding night?" But seeing that the husband wanted to chat, she of course joined in. Soon, the third princess found that the husband had a good temper and was humorous. The two did not talk about poetry and songs, but talked about what they did and liked on weekdays. He also talked about his own embarrassing things, which made the third princess laugh. Seeing her laugh, the husband also smiled. It was clearly the first time they were together, and they felt less unfamiliar. They even had some midnight snacks together before going to bed.
When the two of them faced each other, even though the Third Princess was calm, she couldn't help but feel nervous. However, the Prince Consort was not dignified, and they had chatted for a while before, which made her less nervous.
However, the third princess soon discovered that a man's face had nothing to do with his body shape. After the prince consort hurt her with his baby face, he could still ask: "I have never had a concubine before, so I am not good at this. Princess, you won't be unhappy, right?"
The third princess saw that he didn't move. She looked very uncomfortable. What else could she say? She could only say, "I don't dislike it."
Then she saw the prince consort smiling, and the third princess suddenly realized that he had fangs, and then her mouth was bitten.
