Chapter 3 Welcoming the bride

She didn't ask much at that time, and she didn't even take it to heart.

Just as he was thinking about it, Ping'er sighed: "Poor Miss Liu San, her father has never cared for her mother since she was little, and now she has to marry a sick man. Miss doesn't know, there are rumors in Jingzhou about General Pei.

She can't live more than three months, and she even had to find a chicken as a substitute for her wedding. I'm afraid that Miss Liu San will be a widow as soon as she gets married."

After hearing this, Murong Qing's eyes lit up.

So what if she couldn't live more than three months? She would rather be a widow than marry that wolf-hearted beast!

In less than a stick of incense, Sheng Xiuyan rode a tall horse and came to welcome the bride.

Murong Qing also came out of the house and felt sick the moment he saw Sheng Xiuyan.

But for the sake of the future, she still suppressed her disgust and bid farewell to Nanjing Hou's family with him.

After the two saluted, Marquis Nanjing turned around and wiped the corners of his eyes, stood up and stepped forward with red eyes: "Your Highness, I have such a daughter, and I always pamper her. If she makes any mistakes in the future, I hope that Your Highness will inform me.

I will definitely discipline her and never let Your Highness worry about her!"

Sheng Xiuyan turned to look at Murong Qing, his eyes full of doting: "Master Hou, you are serious. Qing'er has always been sensible and well-behaved. If there is any contradiction, it must be the fault of the younger generation."

Be sincere in your words and humble in your attitude.

If Murong Qing hadn't known what he had done in his previous life, he would have been confused by his appearance.

Marquis Nanjing nodded: "In this case, I will hand over Qing'er to His Highness the Third Highness!"

After saying that, he looked at Murong Qing full of reluctance.

"Qing'er, if you have something to do in the future, write a letter and send it to the south. My father will always be your support."

Murong Qing could only feel tears in her eyes and choked with sobs as she said, "My daughter has remembered it."

The old princess touched Nanjing Hou's elbow and scolded in a low voice: "On this big day, you have to make Qing'er cry to be happy. Go and arrange things to get into the sedan chair. Don't miss the auspicious time."

After hearing this, Nanjing Hou nodded and hurried to arrange things.

The old princess took Murong Qing aside and walked a few steps aside, and said in a low voice: "Qing'er, since you are married, you will live happily with the third prince in the future. After all, you are marrying a relative of the emperor, so your behavior must not be forgotten.

I have lost His Highness's face. Be decent, be generous, and obey his orders in everything. Have you made a note of it?"

Murong Qing knew that her mother was doing this for her own good. After all, she married and followed her husband.

But considering that in the previous life, Sheng Xiuyan beheaded the entire Nanjing Hou Mansion, how could she possibly listen to him?

But in front of the old princess, she still nodded and said: "My daughter has remembered it."

The sound of gongs and drums outside stopped for a moment before starting again.

It’s time to board the sedan!

Murong Xiao, the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, carried Murong Qing to the sedan chair and warned worriedly: "Qing'er, after you come home, we will go back to the south. The border must not be deserted, so as not to be missed by neighboring countries. You are alone in Jingzhou.

, be careful in everything.”

Under the hijab, Murong Qing bit her lower lip tightly and choked with sobs.

Murong Xiao turned his head to look at her. Even though his head was covered with a hijab, he could feel that she was crying.

He could only suppress the sadness in his heart and comfort her with a smile: "A woman will get married after all, and my brother will come to see you when I have time. But you should be smarter in Jingzhou, and at least be able to protect yourself."

Murong Qing sobbed and nodded: "Brother, I will protect myself, and I will also protect the Hou Mansion."

Murong Xiao said this without any reason, and Murong Xiao looked confused.

But Murong Qing had already walked to the sedan chair, so he didn't ask any more questions. He slowly sent Murong Qing into the sedan chair and whispered: "It's enough that you can protect yourself. We are here in the Marquis Mansion."

After saying that, he withdrew and the bearers lifted up the sedan chair.

Maybe the time had come, and before the people from the Hou Mansion could say a few more words to Murong Qing, the wedding procession left in great force...

But less than half an hour after walking, the originally clear sky suddenly turned into darkness.

The next moment, there was heavy rain and a sudden wind.

The wedding party had to go into the passing Bodhisattva Temple to take shelter from the rain, and happened to run into the wedding party from the General's Mansion.

The two teams entered the Bodhisattva Temple at the same time, with a total of two to three hundred people.

Fortunately, they all cared about the bride, so they left the only small room in the temple to the two of them, while the others waited in the main hall for the weather to clear up after the rain.

In the hut, the woman's intermittent choking sounds could be heard from the side.

Murong Qing lifted her hijab and asked warmly: "But Miss Liu San?"

The woman folded the hijab upwards and looked at Murong Qing with red eyes: "Exactly."

"I am Murong Qing from the Nanjing Hou Mansion." Murong Qing introduced her first, then walked closer and sat next to her, "Why are you crying so sadly?"

Liu Qing shook her head and touched the corner of her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand: "No. It's just because the person I want to marry is General Pei. Everyone says that General Pei, he... he is terminally ill and will die soon. I...

I don’t want to be widowed at a young age.”

After saying that, she cried even louder, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Murong Qing raised his hand to wipe her tears, took advantage of the situation, took off her hijab, and said after thinking: "Miss Liu San has such a lovely appearance, her face is wet with tears, what should I do if her husband's family dislikes her after she marries her."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Qing stopped crying instantly.

Liu Qing still choked and said: "Sister is right. I am just a concubine of the Shangshu family. With my status, it will be bad if I am rejected by my husband's family again."

Murong Qing held the two hijabs together, took off the bracelet on his hand, and without any explanation, forced Liu Qing to put it on.

"You already call me sister, but you can't call me sister in vain, so this bracelet is given to you."

Liu Qing was originally a concubine, and her wrists were empty when she got married. She had never worn such a fine bracelet, so she had to put it off.

Murong Qing saw her thoughts and hurriedly comforted her softly: "Miss Liu San, since you and I got married on the same day, we are destined to be together, and I fell in love with you as soon as we met, so I gave this bracelet to you. I never like to wear these.

Please accept it with peace of mind."

Liu Qing also laughed with difficulty: "Thank you, sister!"

At this time, the rain also stopped, and people outside immediately took action, urging us to set off.

Murong Qing took the opportunity to quietly exchange, covering his own head with Liu Qing's, and then covering Liu Qing's head with his own.

Ping'er walked in, looked at the bracelet and hijab, and didn't feel suspicious, so he raised his hand and took Liu Qing over.

What a risk!

The two wedding teams left Suyun Street, one heading south and the other heading north.

Murong Qing in the sedan chair knew that if the plan worked, Sheng Xiuyan would not treat Liu Qing badly because of the royal family's reputation. Marrying the third prince was in line with the wishes of the Shangshufu.

It took two full hours before Murong Qing was carried to the general's mansion.

After getting off the sedan chair, I was supported by the maid across the brazier, then slowly entered the gate of the General's Mansion and went straight to the main hall.

"The auspicious time has come, let's worship heaven and earth!"
