When the Emperor first sent the Third Prince to a bitterly cold land, he gave the reason to Concubine Shu, who knew the reason.
However, the fact that the Emperor had ignored her all these days still made her panic. Especially since Consort Xiao Xian is pregnant again, she is even more distraught. The good thing is that the Emperor has been coming over every day for the past few days, so her panicked heart has finally sunk down.
“I know, Your Majesty, don’t worry, I won’t cause you any trouble.”
The emperor nodded, sat for a while, instructed her to do the marriage of the sixth princess, got up and left.
Shu Fei’s personal sisters followed her out and saw that His Majesty was heading in the direction of Kun Li Palace, returning with hurried steps, anxious for Shu Fei, “Your Majesty, why don’t you leave His Majesty behind?”
Although the lady is a few years older than Princess Xian, she is still fertile, so if she leaves the emperor behind, she may be able to conceive another dragon heir, so that her position will be more secure.
Consort Shu stirred the handkerchief in her hand, she had just hinted several times, but it was as if His Majesty did not see it.
“After these two days, the emperor will surely still come to the palace as rarely as before, you ……”
“Stop it.”
Shu Fei interrupted her annoyed, she did not know, but what could she do?
……
The Sixth Princess’s wedding.
Before dawn, the palace people in the Sixth Princess’s palace were busy with their work.
The Sixth Princess sat in front of a bronze mirror and let the palace staff dress her.
Princess Shu sat by the side, her eyes red with the thought that her daughter had been married and that from now on she would not even have someone to talk to in the palace.
“Your Majesty, there is no need to be like this, the Sixth Princess is not married far away, her residence is only a quarter of an hour away from the palace, when your Majesty misses the Princess, let her come back.”
The steward aunt comforted.
Consort Shu took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, forcing herself to go outside to entertain the concubines who had come over.
……
The Sun family.
Everywhere is decorated with lights and festive, and although the Sixth Princess is not married over here, there is all the atmosphere that should be there.
A host of colleagues from the Hanlin Academy have come over to support Sun Jin today, and Sun Jin is personally entertaining them.
The boy came in, “Young master, Squire Song is here.”
Sun Jin got up and a group of people from the Hanlin Academy followed suit. During his time in the Hanlin Academy, Song Si had gotten along very well with them. He was very knowledgeable and humble, and was very much liked by them, and they had privately speculated that Song Si might be the fastest person among them to be promoted.
Song Si was led over by his servant, and after exchanging pleasantries, everyone took their seats.
Over there, Xiao Yao was also guided by the servant to the flower room where the ladies were entertained.
The women in the room were talking, and when they saw her enter, they all froze for a moment.
On the day of Song Si’s wedding, many of them had been there, so they naturally knew what had happened on that day, and even if they didn’t, they had heard about it from others.
The guest of honour was Sun’s mother, who came forward with a smile on her face, and Xiao Yao saluted, “Congratulations, Auntie Sun.”
She said with a smile, “I’m sorry to oblige you, take your seat.”
Xiao Yao followed her over and sat down.
The maid served tea.
The people all sized her up.
Xiao Yao did not care and let them gawk at her.
“Is your body okay?”
Mother Sun asked with a smile.
Xiao Yao smiled implicitly, “It’s been fine for a long time, it’s just that the scar on my neck is ugly and I don’t want to go out, fortunately Yue’er has developed a scar removing medicine for me and the scar is slowly fading away.”
Everyone in the room heard these words, shock flashed in their eyes, even Madam Sun whose smile seemed to be hanging on her face was shocked, “Go, scar removing medicine?”
In this era, women pay much attention to their appearance and body, and there are inevitable bumps and bruises as usual, most of which will leave scars, if they are in inconspicuous places, it is fine, if they are in conspicuous places, unmarried women are not good at talking about their in-laws, and those who are married will cause their husbands to resent them and thus rarely go to their rooms. If there is a scar removal medicine …….
Sun mother sensed a huge business opportunity, if not for the fact that today is Sun Jin’s big day, she would have had someone tell the lord immediately.
Xiao Yao nodded, “Yes, Yue’er said that in a short while, my scars will be completely removed.”
That day, although the group of ladies did not see Xiao Yao’s wounds, but seeing her covered in blood, they knew that she was not lightly injured, the wounds must be deep and the scars left behind would not be small, to think that they could be removed! The group of ladies looked at Xiao Yao with burning eyes, and one of them, who looked about her age, spoke eagerly, “Lady Squire, can you sell us some of this scar medicine?”
Xiao Yao’s gaze swept slightly and took in the reaction of the ladies, her heart was happy that she had finally helped Yue’er, but her face did not show, she pretended to hesitate, “This ……, I have to go back and ask Yue’er, it took her many days of work to make the medicine and she used a lot of good herbs, I don’t know if she is still willing to do it?”
That means the price is high, but what’s silver compared to having ugly scars on your body? The lady was even more attentive, “Please ask the Squire for me, by the way, my husband was a colleague of Squire Song in the Hanlin Academy and we were very close.
“We went there too.”
The woman next to her also hurriedly said.
A roomful of people echoed.
Xiao Yao smiled and said thank you.
Sun’s mother gave a wink to her personal maid, who retreated and went to find Master Sun. Master Sun was also shocked when he heard the maid’s report, but it was not the right time to talk about it and he could only press out his eagerness.
The hour was almost up and the long procession to welcome the bride set off from the Sun family.
Inside the palace, the Sixth Princess was also dressed and sitting in her inner chamber, waiting.
Consort Shu entertained a group of concubines in the outer hall.
“Her Highness Consort Xian has arrived!”
A shout rang out from outside.
Consort Shu’s hand squeezing her handkerchief tightened, then she stood up without moving, and a group of concubines followed suit.
Consort Xian was helped in by her aunt and a palace maid, perhaps because she had recuperated well over the past few days, or perhaps because she was happy to be pregnant with the dragon’s heir, and her whole body was glowing.
“Sister.”
She walked up to Consort Shu to bow, but was held in place by her hands, “Sister is pregnant, all is forgiven.”
Consort Xian’s hand immediately caressed the small of her back, the glow on her face stung Consort Shu’s eyes, “This child is very understanding and has not tossed me.”
Concubine Shu hid the jealousy in her heart and smiled as usual, “That can’t be careless, sit down quickly.”
The woman’s hand was on the small of her back as she carefully took her seat.
The lady’s eyes were averted as she spoke with the crowd, only the hand squeezing the handkerchief was tightened.
When the time came, the crowd watched the Sixth Princess leave the palace by her personal mothers and palace maids to pay her respects to the Emperor, Consort Xian walked up to Consort Shu and whispered with a smile, “Sister, what do you think the Sixth Princess is feeling now? It was my niece’s son-in-law she had fallen in love with in the first place.”
