The daughter of the first wife is a black lotus, reborn and remarried to kill
Chapter 94: Confinement until Marriage
A hint of confusion flashed in Shen Changyun's eyes, and he looked at Jiang Huaijing.
Jiang Huaijing gave him a look that said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to her."
Then he looked at Li Qingqian and said with a gentle smile: "The Crown Princess likes the third young lady very much. Now the third young lady has received the emperor's grace and entered the palace to get married. If you have time, I hope you can come to the East Palace to chat with the Crown Princess."
Li Shuyue, who was supposed to be punished, also stopped what he was doing because of the imperial edict.
At this moment, she was a little puzzled: Why was Li Qingqian brought to the palace to be married? Could it be that the emperor loved Shen Changyun to this extent?
Although I married into the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion two years later in my previous life, why didn’t I receive the same treatment?
Before she could vent her resentment, the Yulin Guards beside her started slapping her in the face again.
Jiang Lin raised his head with some shock and looked inside the house.
Li Qingqian...really received such praise from His Majesty?
If I could marry her, it would definitely be of great help to my future.
The one who couldn't stand it the most was Liu. The moment before, she was still making plans for Li Shuyue and trying to squeeze her into the East Palace.
Unexpectedly, his daughter was not favored by the prince, but was punished by him.
On the other hand, Li Qingqian not only got a good marriage with Master Shen, but is now even allowed to stay in the palace to get married.
What a shame!
No matter what these people felt in their hearts, Li Qingqian only felt that the imperial edict in her hand was a little heavy for her.
We are moving into the palace tomorrow. Why is it so hasty?
Something is wrong. Something is wrong with this matter.
She tried to force a smile and asked, "If a minister's daughter could be taken to the Eastern Palace to be married, it would be an honor. How could Qing Qian deserve such a great reward?"
"I don't know about that," Jiang Huaijing instructed, "Miss San, you should pack your belongings today. A royal carriage will come to pick you up at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow."
Seeing that Li Shuyue's punishment was almost over, the prince returned in a mighty procession with a group of Yulin guards.
Li Qingqian looked at Shen Changyun with some uneasiness: I always feel that this matter is a bit strange, but the prince refused to even give a hint.
Shen Changyun understood what she wanted to say and smiled at her: Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you.
However, he began to doubt this sudden imperial edict, but soon he had a clue.
It was that person, only that person could make Emperor Hexi issue the second imperial edict within one day!
Seeing the gloom in Shen Changyun's eyes becoming more and more intense, Li Qingqian became a little worried. Is this matter very difficult?
But he just gave her a reassuring smile, and then bowed to Li Zhengkang: "Congratulations, Prime Minister Li, Qianqian can receive this honor, which also shows that the emperor values this marriage. I promise to my father-in-law that I will treat Qianqian with courtesy in the future and will never let her suffer any grievances."
Li Zhengkang didn't bother to be polite with him, and returned the greeting: "Thank you for your courtesy, dear son-in-law. If my daughter does anything wrong in the future, please bear with me."
After some polite exchanges, Shen Changyun was about to leave.
He didn't even care about Jiang Lin who was lying on the ground in the yard, and quickly got on the carriage.
Bai Qian stepped forward and asked, "Sir, are we going back home?"
Shen Changyun's eyes moved, "No, let's go into the palace."
After he left, Li Qingqian held the imperial edict in both hands, still feeling a little uneasy in her heart, but Shen Changyun said that he would not let anything happen to her, so she was willing to believe him.
She calmed down, pointed to the outside of the courtyard, and said to Li Zhengkang, "Father, what should we do with that thing?"
Li Zhengkang hesitated for a moment, then snorted coldly: "Let him go back to where he came from. Before he pays off his debts, this person is not welcome in my Li Mansion."
Jiang Lin was carried out of the Li Mansion by the servants.
Li Shuyue just stared at him being thrown out with a dull expression.
No, it shouldn't be like this.
I was able to be reborn because of God’s favor. Isn’t that enough to become the “lady of luck” in the storybook?
Why do all the good things now belong to Li Qingqian, and all the bad things are mine?
Li Zhengkang glanced at Li Qingqian and asked, "Did you take Master Shen to the ancestral temple today?"
Li Qingqian also admitted openly: "Well, no matter what happens in the future, from the perspective of etiquette, his mother-in-law will only be his wife. Ah Qian understands this. So today I am only taking him to see my biological mother, and it will be difficult for him to see her after this."
Li Qingqian discovered that whenever Li Zhengkang mentioned his biological mother, his face would always show a look of nostalgia and guilt.
However, this behavior seemed a little ridiculous to Li Qingqian. When she was alive, you had the opportunity to cherish her, but you didn't. Now that she is gone, she can't see your affectionate attitude.
Unlike myself, my mother passed away not long after I was born. Apart from those paintings, my memory cannot even piece together a complete and vivid image of my mother when she was alive.
The father and daughter were both feeling sad, and Liu cast a poisonous gaze at Li Qingqian.
Then he raised his hand and pretended to hit Li Qingqian in the face.
Li Qingqian quickly realized her aggressiveness and immediately raised the imperial edict to block in front of him.
Li Zhengkang came back to his senses and saw this scene. He quickly grabbed Liu's wrist and yelled at her, "What are you doing?"
"You might as well ask your eldest daughter what she wants to do," she pointed at Li Qingqian and said, "It's ok for her to miss her biological mother in front of me, but now I'm still the mistress of the mansion, and she calls me Madam all the time and won't even call me mother!"
Li Qingqian laughed in silence, and then the smile gradually faded away, and his expression gradually became serious.
"There is a law in Dawei that all the children of the original wife can be called mother or madam after their father remarries. I am not wrong to call them that."
She raised the imperial edict in her hand, "But just now, Madam almost made a mistake. This is an imperial edict, and Ah Qian was protected by it so that she didn't get slapped by Madam. If Madam had really hit her just now, it would have been a disaster."
It would have been fine if she didn't talk about this, but as soon as she talked about this, Liu became angry again.
Just now she had the idea of letting Li Shuyue take the shortcut of becoming the prince, but not only did she fail, she was also ridiculed by others.
But Li Qingqian stole the limelight today. The marriage with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was the best marriage in the capital, second only to entering the palace and marrying the prince. Not only did Li Qingqian get it easily, but she also won the honor of entering the palace to be married.
How could she not be angry? And how could she accept this!
No matter how glorious Li Qingqian was today, in the eyes of the already somewhat insane Liu, she was the one who had stolen her daughter's things.
The marriage at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was originally supposed to be Shu Yue's, and the honor of entering the palace to get married should also be Shu Yue's!
Liu looked at the imperial edict with greed in her eyes becoming more and more intense. In the end, she even wanted to pounce on it and snatch it. Even Li Zhengkang almost couldn't hold her back.
Li Zhengkang's eyes showed annoyance. He shouted to the outside, and several maids came in immediately.
He said angrily: "From today on, Madam and the Fourth Miss will be confined to the Jinyu Courtyard until the Fourth Miss gets married!"
Li Shuyue, who was in a trance in the yard, finally came to her senses. Regardless of the burning pain on her face, she struggled to get up from the ground and ran into the house holding up her skirt.
She knelt down in front of Li Zhengkang and cried, "Father, please don't do that. I'm about to get married. If you are dissatisfied, please save some face for me! Father!"
Her plan was to be implemented in the next two days, and she absolutely could not be confined to her home at this time.
"Face?" Li Zhengkang snorted coldly, "You are willing to marry that bad-behaved scholar. I am giving you and your daughter face by not beating you to death! But you keep causing troubles again and again. Have you ever thought about whether you still want to keep this face?"
Li Qingqian didn't have time to watch them biting each other. She bowed slightly to Li Zhengkang and said, "My daughter will go to the palace tomorrow. I will pack my things and say goodbye to my grandmother and my two brothers."
Now that the New Year has passed, Li Zhen has returned to the academy. Li Qingqian wants to explain the situation to him, and it would be best to write the letter and send it before dark.
I have to pack things and comfort the old lady, so I'm really in a hurry.
So Li Zhengkang didn't stop her and waved his hand to let her go.
When Li Qingqian walked towards Songyunju, he looked back and saw Liu's mother and daughter still hanging on Li Zhengkang's legs, crying and making a fuss.
She said nothing and walked towards Songyunju on her own.
*
The letter to Li Zhen was written and sent at Songyunju.
The old lady was both relieved and reluctant as she pulled Li Qingqian to talk. The tears in her eyes were wiped away and then resurfaced.
"A Qian is now successful and is even getting married in the imperial palace. Grandmother is really happy for you."
Li Qingqian leaned on the old lady's knees with a smile on her face and said softly, "Grandma, it won't be long. She will return home three days after getting married. Then you can see Ah Qian again."
Yunyi and Yunshang on the side were also happy for their daughter. How hard her life had been over the past decade or so was probably best known to them, apart from the daughter herself and the old lady.
Now that all the hardship had finally paid off, they both cried for joy for her.
