Qing Gege's wedding date was quickly set.
It was half a month later. Although it seemed to be in a hurry, Imperial Concubine Shu had already started preparing for Qing Gege and Princess He Jia's wedding as soon as the imperial edict was issued.
A lot of things had already been arranged.
She didn't feel busy.
After all, there was no lack of servants in the palace.
Many things could be done as long as she gave the order.
However, after the news was spread,
No one thought that Qing Gege would get married so early. After all, according to the previous arrangements,
Qing Gege and Si Gege's wedding was half a year later, while Princess He Ya and Princess Lan Xin's wedding was one or two years later.
Qinger came to the empress dowager to bid farewell the day before the wedding.
The empress dowager looked at the slender and elegant girl in front of her.
She was also very reluctant to part with her.
"Good girl, good girl!"
In the end, the empress dowager couldn't help but hold Qinger in her arms.
"Good Qinger.
Don't blame me for marrying you off so early. I can't bear to part with you. It's all for your own good! "
The empress dowager really did it for Qinger's good.
In just a few days, it was enough for the empress dowager to find out about Concubine Xiang's matter.
Although there was not enough evidence and the process of the matter was not clear, it was certain that Concubine Xiang's disappearance was related to the two Geges of Shufang Zhai.
And before Concubine Xiang disappeared, Qinger somehow got along with the two girls of Shufang Zhai.
After the empress dowager found out about this,
She was almost scared to death.
She was afraid that Qinger was really related to Concubine Xiang's disappearance.
She was so scared that she immediately married Qinger.
Consort Zhu Xiang was truly a vixen, a seductress!
Ever since she disappeared,
The Emperor's temper was getting worse and worse, and he would lose his temper easily.
Originally, the concubines in the harem were fighting to pull the Emperor into their chambers, but now, the high-ranking concubines were praying to the gods that the Emperor would not come to their chambers.
"That Haozhen Baylor was snatched from Lanxin with great difficulty by me. He is a handsome, talented, and kind-hearted good child. In order for you two to have a good life as husband and wife in the future, I specially asked the Emperor to let you live in Prince Shuo's manor after marriage. Husband and wife don't have to live apart. "
The Empress Dowager knew that Qinger had always had a grudge against Lan Xin, so she deliberately told her that she had snatched Fucha Haozhen from Lan Xin. She also wanted Qinger to pay more attention to Fucha Haozhen.
Actually, it made sense. Qing 'er and Lan Xin were both orphans of the Imperial Prince, both daughters of the Imperial Prince's first wife. Why could Lan Xin be recorded under the Empress's name, become the Empress' adopted daughter, and be doted on by the Emperor and the Empress?
As for Qinger, she could only stay by the Empress Dowager's side. It was said that Qinger was favored by the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager couldn't leave her, but what was the truth?
Every day, she worked as a chief palace maid and tried her best to please the Empress Dowager.
Now that both of them were betrothed, although they were both given the title of Heshuo Princess, how could this Heshuo Princess, who was the orphan of a prince, be the same as the orphan of the empress, who was the orphan of the empress, who was doted on by the empress?
In fact, the Empress Dowager had also vaguely mentioned to the Empress that she wanted to put Qinger under the Empress's name before she got married so that she could be the Empress's adopted daughter.
However, the Empress pretended not to understand.
After that, the Empress Dowager did not mention it again. After all, she was afraid that Qinger would be roped in by the Empress. After all, after Qinger was recorded under the Empress's name, she would have to interact with the Empress in the future. Otherwise, she would be unfilial.
As a result, Qinger could only be suppressed by Lan Xin in everything in the future.
As for that so-called princess residence — — it was not built at all, and it was not built for the sake of the couple like the Empress Dowager said.
"Your Majesty — —"
"Good child, you are about to get married. This is a good thing! You can't shed any tears. You know that I can't bear to see you cry the most. "
After the Empress Dowager spoke with Qinger for a while, she let Qinger go back.
She had to think carefully about what to do after this.
Qinger's purpose of marrying into Duke Shuo's residence was to help her win over the clan relatives.
Although the civil and military officials seemed to be very capable, in the matter of the succession of the next Emperor, the power of the clan relatives was also very important.
Originally, in the Empress Dowager's heart, Hong Zhou was the best candidate to win over the clan relatives. After all, Hong Zhou had been by her side for a period of time when he was young, and she still had some feelings for him.
Moreover, Hong Zhou was Qianlong's only brother now, and no one was more suitable than him.
Unfortunately, she had thought that she knew Hong Zhou well, and did not expect that in the end, she had misjudged him.
In the eyes of outsiders, Prince Wo was unreliable. She had talked to Hong Zhou a few times, but in the end — — there was no result!
Moreover, everyone knew that Hong Zhou liked Little Thirteen. Now, it could be confirmed that he supported the Empress's side.
She just did not know whether it was Twelve or Little Thirteen?
It would be best if both brothers rose in the end!
"Hmph — — If Hong Zhou was not so unfilial, I would not have to marry Qinger into Duke Shuo's residence in exchange for the support of the clan relatives!"
A Princess Heshuo was such a good bargaining chip!
Qinger's wedding was very lively. After all, Qinger was the descendant of a loyal prince, and the orphan of a Prince. No matter what, even if it was for others to see, the royal family held it beautifully.
On the day of Qinger's wedding, Little Yanzi and Ziwei were finally "temporarily released" from Shufang Zhai.
Because Qinger had pleaded for them to see her sisters before the wedding, no one could say no to this request.
Since half a month ago, Consort Xiang had turned into a butterfly and flown away when they were strolling in the imperial garden, the two of them had been grounded in Shufang Zhai.
After that, although Fifth Elder Brother had made a fuss, and Fulkan had "righteously" argued with the Emperor, it had been of no use.
They could not even enter Shufang Zhai to see Little Yanzi and Ziwei.
When Qinger saw Little Yanzi and Ziwei, she went up to them.
"Previously, I had pleaded for you two to the Empress Dowager, but it was of no use. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager was gracious and allowed us to meet on my wedding day. There's not much time, so I won't waste any more time. Fifth Elder Brother and Erkang will come over in a while. Hurry up and think about what you want to say to them! "
When Ziwei heard Qinger's words, she was very touched.
She had heard of Qinger before, so she naturally knew what had happened between Qinger and Erkang. She also knew that if it were not for her, Erkang would definitely be betrothed to Qinger.
At that time, she was also jealous and distressed. When she saw the perfect Qinger, she was also jealous.
But now, at this moment, looking at Qinger, she was only slowly moved — and ashamed of her inferiority.
"Qinger, thank you! A thousand and ten thousand thanks. I don't even know how to express my gratitude to you now! "
"Qinger, you're really good. I, Little Yanzi, acknowledge you as my brother! If there's anything you need me for in the future, just say the word. I'll definitely ask for Little Yanzi without hesitation! "
"You're too polite, Ziwei! Also, thank you, Little Yanzi! "
Because of Qinger's marriage, Fifth Elder Brother and Erkang finally saw the person they yearned for day and night.
First, they confided their hearts to each other. Then, the four of them gathered together and exchanged information after Consort Xiang left. They discussed what to do next.
After talking for a while, they immediately went their separate ways. After all, this was Qinger's wedding. They could only see each other because of Qinger's marriage. No matter what, they had to go out and show their faces.
But when they left and returned to their own "teams", no one noticed that a little palace maid walked out from the corner of the room they were in previously.
That little palace maid looked around. When she saw that no one had noticed her, she ran out.
Qinger was sent to Prince Shuo's residence by the palace's wedding procession.
Fucha Haozhen was at the front receiving the guests.
Tonight, Fucha Haozhen was very "happy". No matter who came to toast him, he did not refuse and drank a cup!
In the end, he got drunk. After being helped back to the bridal chamber, he fell asleep immediately.
Qinger looked at her own forehead who was sleeping on the bed. She sat in the bridal chamber for the whole night.
In fact, she was already prepared to accept her fate. She wanted to be like the other princesses, marrying the Emperor's Prince Consort and then live the rest of her life like that.
But now, looking at the Prince Consort who was drunk like a puddle of mud, Qinger was not reconciled. She was really not reconciled.
In the past, her life was filled with the Empress Dowager. Erkang was the only ray of light in her life which was like a pool of stagnant water.
But later, Erkang chose Ziwei. She wanted Erkang to be happy, so she let go.
But even so, she did not want the future to be like her wedding night. Only herself, only loneliness.
For the next two days, Fucha Haozhen came back drunk every day. After he came back, he fell asleep immediately. Qinger would sit by the side and watch him.
Qinger was a very intelligent woman. Seeing Fucha Haozhen like this for three days, she quickly found the problem.
But although she did not know what the problem was, Qinger felt that there might be hope for her life to change.
Because Qinger had married outside the palace, she could go out even if she wanted to.
Fucha Haozhen naturally would not stop her. Because of the guilt in his heart, when Prince Shuo expressed his dissatisfaction, he would speak up for her.
Qinger went to the guest house most often. This was what Erkang told her. It was their "secret base" outside the palace. This place always appeared in Ziwei and Little Swallow's mouth.
Gradually, Qinger and Xiao Jian, their friend, became familiar with each other.
The two of them often chatted and recited poems. Soon, they became close friends.
