Chapter 25 To Be Married
The wedding is scheduled on the tenth day of the first lunar month, that is, there is still one day left. Because the wedding date is in a hurry, Shen is preparing at home day and night. The red silk is also busy choosing decorations for Nie Qiang. At the same time, she has to persuade her to relax. Although she is also very unwilling to marry Nie Qiang to him, what can she do? I was powerless to stop this wedding. In this case, why not give Nie Qiang a lifelong unforgettable wedding banquet?
The wedding date was ordered by the queen. She said that she had always been friends with Yunfei's sister. Naturally, she had to add strength when the second prince got married. Therefore, the wedding clothes and decorations for the wedding were sent by the empress from the palace, saying that they wanted them to choose well, and the rest were given to her as Nie's dowry.
The red silk picked a pair of green emerald ring jade earrings and put them next to Nie Qiang's ears. Nie Qiang looked at herself in the mirror in a daze. Because she painted makeup and combed a high bun, with these hairpins that she usually didn't bother to wear, her temperament was improved. In fact, she was not ugly. Let's take a look. Shen and red silk know that although Shen's appearance is not gorgeous, it is very beautiful. Red silk is not as beautiful as her mother, but on the contrary, it is very bright and beautiful. It has a few wisps of beauty of her mother between her eyebrows. The whole person looks charming but not vulgar, which is appropriate, and Nie Qiang is born with a mother of red silk, and it can't be ugly, just He usually doesn't dress up and is a fat person, so he doesn't look so eye-catching.
Nie Qiang's skin base is good. The red silk painted her eyebrows, applied some lip fat, and only gently swept a layer of powder. The people in the bronze mirror immediately came to life. Nie Qiang touched his face and asked inexplicably, "Red silk, is this the painted skin that others are talking about?"
As soon as this was said, the girls beside her immediately covered their mouths and smiled. Qiaoyue arched Xianger next to the arch and asked with a smile, "Your lady has never dressed up before." Xiang'er was also shocked. Who stayed with Nie Qiang for the longest time? Except for Shen, it belonged to her. She didn't find out that her usual dress and wash her face. Her young lady was actually a living beauty. She was stunned for a long time before she recovered and said, "It's really not."
The red silk took a gold-inlaid jade butterfly from the jewelry box and put it on Nie Qiang's head. Nie Qiang touched the jade butterfly on his head in great shock and said, "This little thing is really like, with big round eyes, kisses the front convex, the jade butterfly is inlaid in the gold tray, the long beard is displayed in front, and the border is also embedded with ruby." Xiang'er took the silver hollow aromatherapy set in front of the cabinet for lavender, added some spices in it, put it under the wedding dress to smoke the incense, and straightened the corner of the wedding dress, and said, "Miss, what's wrong with you today? What you say is one set, so that I can't understand it." Qiaoyue came to help her tish her clothes, and said, "People are in high spirits when they are happy. The young lady is getting married tomorrow. Now she must be very happy."
After dressing up, Nie Qiang stared at the woman in the mirror with bulging her eyes. She sobbed for a long time, and finally cried. As soon as she heard her crying, the girls in the room were in a mess, and she didn't know what had happened. She couldn't persuade her. Nie Qiang held the red silk hand tightly, with thin tears on her eyelashes, and blinked uncomfortably. , swallowed and said, "Red silk, thank you. My sister has never been so beautiful in her life, thanks to you." Knowing that Nie Qiang's crying was such a reason, everyone who was so scared also broke up in a hurry and was busy preparing for tomorrow.
The red silk hand was tightly held by Nie Qiang, so that she could feel the sweat of Nie Qiang's palm, but she did not pull out her hand, but nodded to accept Nie Qiang's thanks. When the other party calmed down and let go of her hand, she did not rush to put earrings on Nie Qiang and said, "Look. Isn't it more beautiful?" Nie Qiang nodded movedly and wanted to cry, but was stopped by Xiang'er. "Miss, why are you crying on this happy day? Wipe your face quickly. If you cry again, your face will really be swollen tomorrow." Will your face be swollen? Nie Qiang was shocked and quickly puffed his cheeks and cried.
In the afternoon, everyone was so busy that they didn't even have time to drink water. However, Nie Qiang and red silk began to do nothing to do. Nie Qiang lay on the couch boringly and was going to get married tomorrow. How could she sleep? She pushed the red silk that was reading and said, "Red silk, shall we look at the baby sent from the palace?" Red silk replied indifferentally, "It's up to you. Anyway, it will be yours in the future."
When Eunuch Li came to announce the decree yesterday, he brought two large boxes of rewards. One of them was these wedding clothes and bead jewelry. Of course, Nie Qiang was not very interested in it, while the other box was some antiques and old objects, and before it was unpacked, Nie Qiang opened the storage of utensils with red silk to see what was going on.
The warehouse has become very messy because it has not been cared for a long time. In addition, it is inevitable that the windows and doors are locked for years. Nie Qiang held her arm and turned over the box for a long time before finding the box given by the emperor. The box is made of mahogany. The outer wall is engraved with a pair of dragon and phoenix pictures. Open the seal. The two of them opened it with all their strength. The box.
"Red silk, you see, these are all antiques that others can eat for several generations." His eyes were bent and cute as a string moon. He raised his arms and took out a small bowl from it. The red silk stretched out the candlestick in his hand. The eyes of the two were glowed. The whole bowl glowed. The inner wall of the bowl was in the shape of a lotus flower. The outer wall was even in color, and it was dotted with some gems. The red silk said, "Sister, you this time. It's true that the marriage is right. I'm afraid this bowl alone is also a rare object. Nie Qiang nodded happily and shook his head after reacting, "I didn't marry because of this bowl. Look at so many treasures. I married because of this box."
Before leaving, Nie Qiang insisted on sending a red silk. After thinking about the red silk for a long time, she finally chose a piece of purple jade pendant. Nie Qiang said that this thing must be the least valuable one and asked her to choose a new one. The red silk pulled her out and said, "I like this thing at a glance. Maybe this is fate." Nie Qiang couldn't do it, so he had to give up. On the way back from leaving the warehouse, they met Su Hong, who was anxious to go crazy. When Su Hong saw them, she quickly chased them and said, "Ladies, you let me find them easily. Madam asked you to go to the small living room in the south courtyard. Come with me."
The two followed Su Hong and left the west courtyard and walked towards the south courtyard. They met many girls and slaves along the way. Most of them saw that they were shocked. They should be scared by Nie Qiang's dress. Red silk thought that in the past, they only knew that the second lady and the third lady were beautiful, but the eldest lady could never enter their eyes. This time, they were so shocked by red silk. When they dress up, although they are still fat, they feel that even if they are fat, they can see that they are a beauty. What if they lose weight?
The doors and windows of the living room were open. Before the red silk stepped into the door, he clearly saw several people sitting in the room, one of whom was Dr. Lu. I haven't seen this strange old man for about half a month. There are several old men with white beards sitting next to Dr. Lu. At a glance, there are four people coming, three of whom are accompanied by waiters with medicine boxes on their bodies. If you don't guess, you can probably expect that these people are doctors.
Shen's face was tired, but he was still meticulous. He talked, behaved, or came to ask Nie Qiang why it was so late. This sentence was like a carefully prepared sentence. The red silk smiled gently at Dr. Lu. Such a move was seen by other colleagues and showed a comprehensible look at him. Dr. Lu was treated by this girl. Embarrassed, he coughed dryly and quickly took a few sips of water.
Shen said that they are all royal doctors sent by the empress. They want to give the princess a thorough examination before marriage. In fact, this is quite straightforward, that is to say, let them check whether Nie Qiang can have children or not. Generally speaking, when choosing a concubine in the harem, the prince has to take this step first. If he can't pass it. That is to say, the opportunity to marry into the royal family is lost, but most of the time, the prostitutes will connect with the imperial doctor and give some gifts. That is to say, today, such a examination is actually dispensable.
The imperial doctors were all invited to the side room, and Su Hong then took Nie Qiang in.
Red silk felt that she had nothing to do with her. She was about to leave, but Shen stopped her again.
"What's the matter, mother?" Red silk thinks that her mother should be the busiest time now, and there is no spare time to take care of herself. Shen asked the girls to change the tea and take care of it carefully before she had time to say to the red silk, "Red silk, your sister got married today. In a few days, I think you will be soon."
"What does mother mean?"
"You have always been a smart child. You should know what you say for your mother."
"Who does the mother want her daughter to marry?"
"Prince!"
Prince? My father is not ready to reach an agreement with the second prince, so why let me marry the prince? She didn't understand what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourd. Was it just to let them marry two men who are most likely to ascend to the throne today, so that they can sit and enjoy it?
Compared with Nie Qiang, she felt more pitiful. Nie Qiang at least married a father who could recognize and was ready to put the last bet on her, but she was just the next choice they discussed and threw it to her. It's not easy to say. One day when Tang Ruomu succeeds in usurpation of the throne and the prince becomes a prisoner, then his life will not be better, right?
In this case, why do they bother to let Nie Mei have an abortion? Wouldn't it be better to let her marry Tang Ziran with a child? In this way, they don't have another relationship. Even if Tang Ruomu is not in the position of God and the prince can't be the king, can they still rely on Nie Mei's last bloodline to give themselves a safe place?
Red silk doesn't understand why her mother did this. Does she think she won't stop if she doesn't exhaust the last blood of the Nie family? The red silk opened its mouth and spit out three words, "I, I won't get married."
