Chapter 610: Reborn Girl vs. Book-Traveling Girl 31
The Marquis's wife shook her head slightly, her expression firm.
"No, she's concentrating on taking care of the baby now, and she won't do something that will break it with just one poke."
The Marquis's wife looked out the window, a thoughtful look in her eyes, and said slowly, "Things are indeed a little strange. The Crown Prince suddenly wants to get married, and he's so enthusiastic about it..."
She pondered for a moment, then continued, "When your father comes back, I'll ask him if anything major has happened recently. Perhaps I can figure out why the prince did this."
It has to be said that the Marquis' wife is indeed very intelligent. Just through a few contacts with the prince and her understanding of the current situation, she was able to guess what was going on.
Even though she knew from the Marquis what had happened in the court before, the Marquis's wife also analyzed the reason why the prince suddenly wanted to get married.
But the emperor's order was hard to disobey, the imperial decree granting the marriage had already been issued, and Zheng Xingyao had no choice but to marry into the Eastern Palace.
It was already May of the following year when Zheng Xingyao got married.
At this time, Zheng Yuejin had already given birth to a legitimate son for the second prince.
The child was very much loved by Concubine Yang, and was brought into the palace by Concubine Yang just when he was one month old.
At first, Zheng Yuejin didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She thought that if the child could please her mother-in-law, she would also be more favorable to her, so that she wouldn't have to set rules for herself every time they met.
However, a few days later she was shocked to find that the second prince was also going to leave the capital.
Only then did she remember that before the marriage, because of the affair between her and the Second Prince, the Second Prince was to be punished and expelled from the capital.
Now, her son has been taken away by her mother-in-law and her husband is about to leave her. She feels that life has lost all its fun in an instant.
The huge Second Prince's Mansion seemed particularly empty and lonely with only her as the only owner.
It happened to be Zheng Xingyao's wedding day. Thinking of the importance the prince attached to this marriage, Zheng Yuejin's desire to destroy it became stronger.
Why does she live such a miserable life while Zheng Xingyao can live a happy life?
God gave her a chance to start over in life. She changed her destiny and took her life on another path, but she had to avenge herself from her previous life.
Thinking about what she had asked her personal maid to do before, Zheng Yuejin had an idea in her mind.
On the wedding day, there was a great deal of red wedding ceremonies and a lively atmosphere. Zheng Xingyao's wedding was like the grand scene of the protagonist's wedding in an ancient novel.
However, just as the two were getting married, an accident happened.
Zheng Xingyao suddenly began to retch, and the scene fell silent.
Although the prince felt ashamed, he could only help cover it up now.
I wanted to finish the ceremony quickly, return to the bridal chamber, and then ask the imperial physician to see what was going on.
But Zheng Yuejin is Zheng Xingyao's sister and now also her sister-in-law, so she spoke directly:
"What's wrong with the bride? Are you feeling unwell?
Don't disturb the imperial physician on this wedding day. The female doctor that my mother gave me when I was pregnant is right here with me. Why not let her check on the bride?
Before the ceremony is over, let's find out what's going on."
The implication of her words was obvious. If Zheng Xingyao really had some problem, it would be much better to find out now than to find out after praying to heaven and earth and the matter was already settled.
To put it simply, if you find out now that the bride is not what you wanted and want to change your mind, it's still not too late.
After you have paid homage to heaven and earth and completed the ceremony, there is really nothing else you can do.
After hearing what Zheng Yuejin said, the prince felt confused.
The people around also began to whisper to each other.
Since Zheng Yuejin, her biological sister, said so, everyone wondered if there really was something wrong with Zheng Xingyao.
After all, most of the people who had attended the flower viewing banquet had seen Zheng Xingyao's small clothes with their own eyes and had always remembered them. They all thought that this girl might be quite promiscuous in private.
The prince just opened his mouth: "Then..."
He originally wanted to trouble his second brother and his wife.
At this moment, Zheng Xingyao took off the veil on her head with a "swish".
According to the rules, the bride cannot speak before the veil is lifted.
But Zheng Xingyao couldn't care less at this moment.
She looked in the direction where Zheng Yuejin's voice came from, staring straight at Zheng Yuejin, and her words were merciless.
"As expected of my second brother's wife, who was able to conceive with my second brother before marriage, she is indeed experienced.
I behave myself properly, so my second brother and sister-in-law don't have to worry about me.
I got up too early this morning and didn't eat anything, so I felt uncomfortable in my stomach and vomited a few times.
I admit that I was a bit rude just now, but this cannot be a reason for you to slander me.
I was about to marry the prince today, and you came out to cause trouble.
There have been rumors that the Crown Prince’s ex-fiancée was you. Could it be that you were the one who spread this rumor?
Now because the prince married me, you are eager to jump out and say that there is something wrong with me.
What? Marrying the second prince isn’t enough, you also want to get involved in the crown prince’s wedding.
The second prince is a descendant of a royal family, yet you are still not satisfied.
Why, do you, Zheng Yuejin, have to choose all the men in the world? "
"presumptuous."
At this time, the emperor walked in from outside the courtyard. Everyone who saw the emperor knelt down and saluted, including the prince and Zheng Xingyao and Zheng Yuejin.
The emperor walked past the crowd and went straight to the top of the wedding hall and sat down steadily.
His face was gloomy and his eyes were sharp as torches as he glanced at everyone in the hall, especially the Crown Prince, Zheng Yuejin and Zheng Xingyao, his eyes full of displeasure.
Originally, the emperor had no good feelings towards the two daughters of the Zheng family. Today, on such a happy day, they caused such trouble.
They knew that they were royal daughters-in-law, but they didn't care about the royal family's reputation at all and started a scene in front of so many guests.
The anger in his heart was like dry firewood that had been lit, rising rapidly.
He cleared his throat and said in a low and authoritative voice:
"Second Brother's Wife, as my younger brother's wife and Xingyao's elder sister, what is your intention in saying such things on such a happy day? Have you forgotten the rules and etiquette of the palace?"
Zheng Yuejin showed no fear at all, she knew what she was doing.
She gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson. Just based on this fact, the emperor would not do anything to her. This was her confidence.
She bowed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong.
"Just now, I noticed that my sister seemed unwell, and I was anxious for a moment, thinking that my sister might have some emergency. What if she passed her illness on to my brother, the Crown Prince? That's why I spoke without thinking, 'Please calm down, Father.'"
Just now, Zheng Xingyao called Zheng Yuejin "sister-in-law", which was a tacit admission that she was the legitimate Crown Princess, completely ignoring the fact that the wedding etiquette had not yet been completed.
At this moment, Zheng Yuejin called Zheng Xingyao "sister" with the same idea. The ceremony had not been completed, and Zheng Xingyao was just the second lady of the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion. Don't try to use your status as the Crown Princess to pressure others.
Zheng Yuejin expressed in front of the emperor that she was worried about the prince, but in fact she was deliberately highlighting the closeness of their relationship. To put it bluntly, she just wanted to please the emperor.
