In the past two days, all Song Chen's activities in the palace were confined to Cang Xiuxuan's dormitory.
With the previous objections from the courtiers, Song Chen did not want them to know that they were in the palace. When Cang Xiuxuan went to handle official duties, Song Chen went to the secret passage.
It's not that I'm afraid of those courtiers, I just feel there's no need to cause trouble with me.
Not to mention, Song Chen found some fun in this secret passage. Cang Xiuxuan changed the exit of the secret passage to a relatively remote palace in the palace. Although it was not a cold palace, it was even cooler than the cold palace.
After Song Chen came out of the secret passage, he understood Cang Xiuxuan's intention, because behind the palace wall was the Imperial Forest, which meant that this was already the very edge of the palace. After climbing over this wall, you would reach the outside of the palace.
This person has left himself the best escape route.
Come to think of it, this is really Cang Xiuxuan's way of doing things.
Just in case, Song Chen did not show up directly after leaving the secret passage. Instead, he observed the surrounding situation in the space. The more he looked, the more he felt that Cang Xiuxuan might have paved the way out of the palace.
**
Song Chen's birthday arrived as scheduled.
After all, this is already her third birthday here.
Although this birthday is not her original birthday, she has become accustomed to celebrating this birthday in the past three years.
Fifteen.
It was extremely important for ancient women. When they reached the age of fifteen and had hair extensions, it meant they were old enough to get married.
Calculated, there is a gap of seven years between this age and the modern legal age for marriage! In other words, you have just reached the legal age for marriage here, while your children there have already entered elementary school.
Modern fifteen-year-old girls have just entered high school and are still underage. In ancient times, they were already getting married. What's even more funny is that most girls in ancient times would basically get engaged and married within this year. The next step is
Gave birth to a child.
In ancient times, all families attached great importance to the gift of a girl's haircut, even when they were in Beiguan Village. At that time, even though the Song Dynasty was still in a state of chaos, the Song Wang family had already thought about how to give their daughter a haircut gift.
But now the situation is different. Their identities have changed, especially Song Chen's.
According to the current development, her hair extension ceremony will definitely not be what she thought before.
But what she never expected was that Mrs. Su would actually come to her before she came to invite her.
Looking at the graceful Mrs. Su at this time, Mrs. Song couldn't help but think of the time when Mrs. Su found her two days ago.
"You must not be careless about Xiaochen's wedding ceremony. If you don't mind, I would like to come over and help."
Although Mrs. Su's status is noble, she always knows how to respect others. Even if she was entrusted by the regent, she still asked the Song Wang family first.
In fact, this was a dream for the Song Wang family, "Madam, you don't know, I started to worry when I arrived in Shangjing. You said that we are in Shangjing now, and my Xiaochen... we can no longer do the hairpin ceremony as we did before.
I figured it out, but I really don’t know what to do. I originally planned to go there tomorrow to ask for your help, but unexpectedly you came over today. Thank you so much."
Mrs. Su smiled and patted her hand, "To be honest, I'm really not that thoughtful. Now I'm entrusted by the regent. I see him really treating our little one."
I put it on the top of my heart and it hurts."
When the regent found her in person, she knew she was right not to meddle in others' affairs.
At first, she thought that if Song Chen's family couldn't come over in Xincheng, she would help Song Chen organize this haircut ceremony. Later, when Song Chen's parents came, she also thought about helping, but then she thought about it carefully.
She doesn't need to worry about it yet.
Sure enough, the regent arrived.
This was considered a favor that the regent owed her, and she had to keep it for future use.
Her master has worked really hard these years, and she has to keep it for his future benefit.
The meaning of Mrs. Su's words made Mrs. Song smile in her heart and she was also very moved.
Her status is really not high, and the future son-in-law is such a high-ranking and powerful person, but he really regards himself as his prospective mother-in-law and gives her enough respect.
"Xiaochen told me that the regent will propose marriage in two years, but I think it's not appropriate for someone with no name and no status now, so I plan to get engaged first and then make it after the year."
"Then my Su Ze finally got something ahead of the prince."
Mrs. Su laughed for a long time after hearing this. Su Ze's marriage was also after the new year, but it was a marriage after the new year, but the prince was only engaged. Her son probably lost all his reluctance in the end.
Mrs. Song congratulated her with a smile, but felt very ashamed, "Madam, you are so busy now, and you still have to come over to help Xiaochen prepare the hairpin ceremony. I really feel..."
"The family doesn't talk to each other, so Xiaochen still calls me godmother."
Mrs. Su acted vigorously and resolutely, so today's grand haircut ceremony was held. Although not many people were invited, they were all of high status.
The Song Wang family and his wife stood together on the east steps waiting for the guests, while a secretary stood at the foot of the west steps.
At this time, Song Chen had finished bathing and changed into his clothes. The clothes were made of silk cloth and trimmed with vermilion brocade. The three people except Wen Ping stood behind Song Chen and looked at the people sitting quietly.
Song Chen on the side also had mixed feelings in his heart.
Recalling the time when I first arrived with Song Chen, the scene of my first meeting seemed to be still in front of my eyes. In the blink of an eye, their girl had already grown hair.
"Our girl has become more and more beautiful in the past few years. If the prince hadn't taken care of her early, I'm afraid the doorstep of our family would have been trampled by the matchmaker after today's hairpin ceremony."
Qiu An looked at Song Chen and joked.
But if you think about it carefully, it's really not a joke. Song Chen has become more and more beautiful every year in the past few years. There was a bronze mirror in front of him. Song Chen looked at himself in the mirror and felt strange in his heart.
I don't know how this ancient man grew up, but at the age of fifteen, he was able to almost dissipate the tenderness on his face, and his face became brighter and brighter.
Coupled with the nourishment of Song Chen's space, this is even more true.
The three women in the room looked at Song Chen like this, and they all thought of one word: beautiful and delicious!
If the prince were not as outstanding as the prince, they all felt that there would be no one in the world worthy of their girl.
Qiu An's words were also agreed by the other two, but Qing Lei was a little more rational, "If the prince finds out what you said, I'm afraid you won't have a good life in the future."
Qiu An was stunned and quickly covered her mouth, "Except that the girl is beautiful, I didn't say anything else."
There was typically no silver of three hundred taels here, and everyone in the room laughed.
At this time, the sound of music was heard outside.
Qiu An quickly corrected her attitude and said, "It's begun. Don't make any more trouble."
