Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, during which time Xiao Zihong and Princess Yu Yao went to the palace to ask for an imperial decree to grant their marriage.

And recently it happened to be their wedding day, and Yu Yao was going to marry out of the palace.

It was still dark outside, and seeing that Yu Yao was still sleepy, the nanny beside her tried to persuade her.

"Princess, cheer up, you'll be fine soon."

"Are all marriages in your Great Yuan Dynasty so complicated?"

At this time, Yu Yao was sitting in front of a bronze mirror and being helped by several palace maids to dress up. Looking at the complicated headdress on her head, Yu Yao felt that her neck was hurt.

Several maids advised her that marriage was a matter of a lifetime and that of course every detail had to be taken care of.

There was no way out, even Yu Yao's maid tried to persuade her.

At this time, Xiao Zihong from the Fourth Prince's Mansion was already dressed and was chatting with his subordinates in the study.

"Master, everything is ready."

"Has everything been arranged at the farm outside the city?" Xiao Zihong, wearing a bright red wedding gown, stood by the table and asked in a deep voice.

The man in black who was kneeling below replied with a serious face that everything had been arranged over there and told him not to worry.

"But if the master really wants to choose today...then Shangyu Country..."

Xiao Zihong snorted coldly. So what if it was Shangyu Kingdom? It was just a tiny country, but his lifeline had already been controlled by him. What was there to be afraid of? He ordered his men to keep a close eye on Prince Xiao.

"Yes!"

At this time, the butler's voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, the time has come. It's time to go pick up the bride."

As he was talking, the noise outside was getting louder and louder. Xiao Zihong straightened his robe, turned around and walked out of the study, while his subordinates behind him disappeared into the study.

At this time, Lu Qingqing was invited to the Changping Marquis Mansion. Jingyi began to complain of stomachache early in the morning, and the maid hurriedly went to find Madam Liu.

Seeing her daughter-in-law's painful expression, Liu became panicked and quickly ordered the servants to bring Qingqing over.

At this time, Tiantian was also staying by her sister-in-law's side.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, my sister will be here soon."

"Oh...Tiantian, it hurts..."

Seeing her sister-in-law being tormented, Tiantian was extremely nervous. The handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a mess, but she didn't dare to show it, for fear that her sister-in-law would see it and become even more nervous.

My eldest brother was called away last night. My mother said that he had important matters to attend to and couldn't come back for a while, so she stood by to comfort my sister-in-law.

Even my grandmother was invited.

"Mom, you're here. Jingyi seems a little difficult to deal with. I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Didn't you say you were going to ask Qingqing out? Sit down and stop moving. It gives me a headache just looking at you!"

Old Mrs. Lu rubbed her forehead and said, she was not as calm as she looked at the moment, because this was the first great-grandson of the Lu family!

At this time, Grandpa Lu and Lu Jiang and his son also rushed over anxiously.

"Mom, how did you raise it?"

"Wait!"

The corners of Lu Jiang's mouth twitched, and he could only walk to Liu's side and sit down.

Old Master Lu glanced at his old wife and saw her holding the hem of her clothes with her hands folded. He reached out and patted her twice, reassuring her that everything was okay.

"Ok, I know."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Qingqing ran into the yard.

"How is my father, mother, grandparents, and sister-in-law?"

When Liu saw her daughter coming back, she hurriedly came forward anxiously and said, "Qingqing, go and have a look. Your sister-in-law keeps crying in pain, but..."

Lu Qingqing frowned, comforted her and said it was okay, then ran into the room.

When everyone in the room saw her coming, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

When Lu Qingqing came to the inner room, she saw the midwife and Tiantian inside, with a nanny and a maid beside them.

"Tiantian, please go out first."

Tiantian's hands were trembling a little as she slowly stood up. With red eyes she looked at her sister who had appeared like a savior. She nodded slightly and walked out of the room, looking back every step of the way.

Lu Qingqing stepped forward to check on her sister-in-law's condition while comforting her.

"It's okay, sister-in-law. I'm here. Drink this first and follow my instructions."

She ordered the maid to fetch some hot water, and then asked the midwife to keep an eye on the child.

She reached out and touched Jingyi's abdomen.

As the Lu family was in a tense situation, the wedding procession with music and drums was already setting off on the street outside towards the palace.

Xiao Zihong was riding a tall horse with an evil smile on his lips. Looking at the people watching around him, he sneered in his heart.

In the palace, Yan Xi was standing beside Yu Yao, chatting with her happily. After so many years, she finally got what she wanted.

Yu Yao's cheeks suddenly turned red, a happy smile appeared on her red lips, and she looked at Yan Xi with an angry look.

"Princess, the auspicious time has arrived. It's time to kowtow to the Emperor and the Empress." As she spoke, the nanny picked up the red veil and covered her head with it. She called for the maid beside her to come forward and support Princess Yu Yao as they walked out of the palace.

Yan Xi looked at the princess' back with envy and followed her out of the hall.

The sounds of blowing and beating can be heard from far away.

Soon Yu Yao was brought to the Qingyan Hall. The Emperor and the Empress at the top looked at Princess Yu Yao in a red wedding gown in the distance, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. Concubine De beside them couldn't help but sigh at this time.

"Yu Yao pays respect to His Majesty, may our Emperor live long and long. I pay respect to Her Majesty the Empress, may Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

"Princess, there is also Consort De."

The maid beside her reminded her master.

"Yu Yao pays respect to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine De."

After the voice fell, the queen and the noble concubine looked at each other, slowly stood up, and walked towards Yu Yao. They stepped forward and took Yu Yao's hands, and gave her a few words of advice as elders.

At this time, the eunuch outside shouted loudly, the Fourth Prince is here!

Xiao Zihong walked in from outside the hall in a bright red wedding gown.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father, Empress, and Imperial Concubine De."

"Okay, okay! Hong'er is getting married today. In the future, you and your spouse must work together and give birth to a grandson as soon as possible. I..."

Listening to the emperor's words, Xiao Zihong sneered in his heart, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly. Until the emperor finished speaking, Xiao Zihong raised a faint smile on his face, and bowed to the emperor who was sitting above him.

"My son, I will obey my father's teachings."

"Hong'er, you were wronged in the palace because of your biological mother's identity, but fortunately, your royal aunt sent capable people to you to protect you so that you can grow up smoothly..."

When Xiao Zihong heard this, he suddenly looked up, with a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes, none of which escaped the emperor's eyes.

He sighed softly, shook his head and said that his throne was unstable back then. One day, because he was drunk, his biological mother took advantage of the opportunity and climbed onto the dragon bed. Afterwards, he was very angry and threw her into the cold palace to fend for herself, without knowing that she was pregnant.

Xiao Zihong listened to the emperor's words, his eyes filled with hatred. He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips.

"Father, those are all things of the past, your son..."

At this time, the eunuch outside the palace reminded: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived!"
