Today, the imperial palace is decorated with lanterns and streamers everywhere, making it very festive.
It's just that summer has already entered, the sun is shining brightly, and now everything is a little hot and depressing.
The last time the court married a daughter, the eldest daughter was married to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. It was a marriage granted by the Queen Mother, and it was in the first month of the year, so the wedding day was very lively.
Now that the second daughter has married into the Lin family, they are a branch of the family, and they look a lot more miserable.
At this moment, in the backyard of Chao Mansion, in Chao Zhen's boudoir, Mrs. Li was giving instructions.
"Zhen'er, it's a foregone conclusion. Now that you have married into the Lin family, my aunt still needs your support. You have also seen your father's attitude. He is now so confused by that little vixen that he can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south.
, I’m afraid my aunt won’t be able to rely on him in the future.” Ms. Li’s eyes turned red.
After all, it was Chaozhen's big day. Although it was not a good marriage, she had nothing to do now. She just hoped that her daughter could live a better life in the future.
"Don't worry, aunt, that little bitch in Dieyi won't be arrogant for long. When I marry into the Lin family, I will try my best to build a good relationship with Lin Shoufu, and I will help my aunt. There are only two days left for the test, Lu Xiuyuan's side
You should pay more attention and build a good relationship. The third brother failed to pass the exam and was locked in the study by his father to study. He was only released today. I can't rely on the third brother and can only rely on myself. One day I will have the Lin family in my hands.
"Take care of that little bitch." Chao Zhen gritted his teeth.
Although she was indeed not able to accept the child in her belly at that time, after all, she was still a piece of flesh after being pregnant for so long.
Feeling the loss of her child that day, she felt extremely resentful towards Dieyi.
When she gets to the Lin family and gets Lin Wenxue's favor, she will deal with that little bitch severely and make her life worse than death.
"That's good. Your third brother really disappoints me. I haven't been in front of the old lady these days, for fear that she would ask me about Chaoheng not passing the provincial examination. Hey, if I had known, I should have treated Lu Xiuyuan better. Who would
I know that he can understand Yuan in one fell swoop. If your father hadn't been happy because of Lu Xiuyuan's high school and his job in the Ministry of Justice, I'm afraid Chaoheng would have been imprisoned in the ancestral hall. By the way, speaking of it, Chaoli should be here to give you a gift today.
Zhuang, don't argue with her, she is not something we can deal with now." Ms. Li warned.
Chaozhen is very jealous of Chaoli, and she is a little worried that her daughter will not be able to handle him today.
"Don't worry, aunt, as long as she doesn't come to trouble me, I won't say much." Chaozhen said a little tiredly.
In fact, her body has not fully recovered. She is always tired these days and her body suffers serious losses. These are all caused by Dieyi and have nothing to do with Chaoli.
Compared to Chaoli, the person Chaozhen hates most now is Dieyi.
It's a pity that she thinks so, but it doesn't mean that Chaoli will be afraid of her, not to mention that Dieyi's existence is because of Chaoli.
The sound of firecrackers crackling outside the house made Chaozhen feel no joy at all.
For her, getting married was just a move from the imperial court, a place she didn't like now, to another place she didn't like, and it still didn't mean anything.
She was now being treated as a commodity to be married to Lin Wenxue, and she was even hated by General Chao Lu.
Chaozhen felt that Chaolv could change the marriage since he had already joined the Ministry of Punishment, but he still insisted on marrying himself to Lin Wenxue and harmed her child.
Thinking of this, Chaozhen clenched her sleeves tightly, and Mrs. Li also went to the front hall to do some work.
The ladies who added makeup also came. They were not rich ladies from a wealthy family, but they were only called by the family to add makeup to Chaozhen when they saw Chao Lu in the Ministry of Justice.
When Chaoli first got married, there were quite a few ladies who came to add to her beauty. After all, the people who married Chaoli were different at that time. Even those who had nothing to do with each other came back to join in the fun.
At this time, Chaozhen only had six or seven ladies coming over to add makeup, and the gifts they gave were not too precious. Chaozhen's forced smile gradually began to diminish.
Suddenly, there was a call from the maid outside the door asking for a drink.
"The Crown Princess is here!"
The faces of the ladies who put on make-up were full of excitement. This is the princess of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion!
Originally, they were a little reluctant to come over, but their father and mother said that the Crown Princess would also come. After all, she and Chaozhen were biological sisters, so they restrained themselves and were willing to come over to give Chaozhen some makeup.
The reason was just to look familiar in front of Chaoli, even though the relationship between the two sisters was rumored to be not very good.
Now that I've come to Chaoli, it's pretty good.
Chaozhen's expression was quite complicated. She was originally in a bad mood, but now that Chaoli had arrived and she could support herself, Chaozhen decided to suppress her temper.
The room was filled with bright red, and Chaozhen could be considered beautiful today, perhaps with the blessing of bridal makeup.
Chao Li slowly stepped in, seeming to light up the whole room. He was not suppressed by Chao Zhen, but made Chao Zhen look featureless.
"Second sister, congratulations on your marriage today." Chaoli said with a smile.
Chaozhen looked at the people around her quite proudly and said, "Sister is back."
When the ladies saw Chao Li, they all quickly saluted.
"I've met the Crown Princess."
"You're welcome, my second sister is getting married today. Thank you for coming to dress her up." Chaoli smiled, turned and looked behind him, "Qing Yi, Pei Yu, please bring over the gift I prepared for my second sister."
At this time, everyone discovered that Qing Yi and Pei Yu each held a brocade box in their hands.
Several young ladies craned their necks to look. After all, she was the Crown Princess, so she must be very generous with her actions. They also wanted to know what Chaoli had given Chaozhen today to add makeup to her.
Chao Li smiled gently and opened the two brocade boxes one after another.
Inside the brocade box in Qing Yi's hand is a pair of special glass cups, exquisite and clear, with dragons and phoenixes carved on them. You can tell at a glance that they are royal items.
The brocade box in Pei Yu's hand is a pure white and flawless Guanyin. Just by looking at it, you can tell that it is carved from top-quality white jade.
These two things were of great value, and several ladies were very envious of them.
However, Chaozhen's face was a little ugly, and she could hardly control herself and glared at Chaoli.
By chance, a few ladies didn't see Chao Zhen's face, and they all started discussing it.
"The Crown Princess treats the second lady very well. This glazed dragon and phoenix cup should be used exclusively by the royal family, right? I heard that when Princess Desao got married, the Queen Mother rewarded her with a pair of glazed dragon and phoenix cups, which meant that she hoped that Princess Desao and the Gu family would grow together.
Master, the dragon and the phoenix appear auspicious, and the harp and harp sound harmoniously."
"Ah? How do you know this? We weren't even born yet at that time?"
"We were not born before, but my mother likes to hear this news and has told me about it a long time ago. I think it may be that this dragon and phoenix glass cup was given to the Crown Princess by Princess Desao, and the Crown Princess used her as the second lady's wife.
I also hope that the second young lady and Mr. Lin will be in good company, with the dragon and the phoenix in auspiciousness, and the music of the piano and the harp playing in harmony."
My guess about this young lady was actually only half correct.
Chaoli smiled and turned to look at Chaozhen.
"Second sister, are you satisfied with the pair of dragon and phoenix glass cups that the eldest sister gave you?"
