Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

After lunch, the three sisters took a short break and then started the endless cycle of trying on clothes again.

At 3 p.m., Shen's mother arrived at the Orchid Garden and felt a little emotional when she saw her three daughters busy at work.

Time flies, and Qingqing is about to get married now.

"Greetings, Madam," the maids looked at Mother Shen at the door and stepped forward to pay their respects.

Mother Shen waved her hand and everyone left. Only the nanny beside her remained.

When the three sisters saw their mother coming, they stepped forward and saluted.

"The daughter has met her mother." The three said in unison.

"You all sit down," Shen's mother took her eldest daughter Qingqing's hand and said with a smile, "Mom has something to say to you."

Shen Lingling and Shen Yanyan sat on the chairs nearby as instructed.

"In the blink of an eye, you have all grown up. Especially Qingqing, who is going to get married soon." A trace of reluctance flashed in Shen's mother's eyes, "From now on, when you go to your husband's house, it will be different from your mother's house. You must be careful in everything you say and do, and you must not make any mistakes."

"But if you are wronged, you must tell your family. With your father and I here, no one can bully you." Shen's mother said again

"Mom, I understand." Qingqing responded obediently.

Mother Shen nodded and looked at her other two daughters, "You too, should learn more from your eldest sister and be more steady, especially Yanyan.

"When you get married, you must take good care of your husband and children and assist your husband." Mother Shen looked at her three daughters and said

"Yes, mother." They both answered in unison.

"Okay, let's stop here for today. You continue trying on clothes and go to the front hall for dinner later. Today, our family will have a good meal."

Mother Shen patted Qingqing's hand and stood up.

"Yes, mother, take care." The three sisters saw Shen's mother out the door.

"Go on, sisters." Shen Qingqing went to the box again.

"Ah, I'm numb. Who understands me, my family members?" Shen Yanyan let out a long sigh.

At night, the maids in the front hall were serving food.

The family sat around the dining table and had a warm dinner. After dinner, the three sisters went to Shen Qingqing's yard together.

In Shen Qingqing's bedroom in Lanyuan, three sisters were lying on one bed.

"Big sister, I just came back, and you and the second sister are getting married, and my brother is away all year round. When you all leave the Shen Mansion, I will be even more lonely." Shen Yanyan lay in the middle of the bed and glanced at her two sisters. The second sister will also get married in the spring of next year.

"My sister is just marrying into the Wang family, not leaving Yangzhou. If you and your second sister miss me, you can come to the Shen Mansion to see me anytime." Shen Qingqing was also a little sad.

"Yes, my second sister is also in Yangzhou. If you miss us sisters, you can come to see us anytime." Shen Lingling said, feeling a little uncomfortable. She always felt that there was something sad in her sister's words.

"Well, if I miss you, I will definitely go to see you." Shen Yanyan said solemnly.

Little did she know that after leaving Yangzhou, she never returned in her lifetime.

"Sister, do you like Young Master Wang very much?" Shen Yanyan had never asked this question before, but suddenly she wanted to ask.

"I like him. I have known him since we were young. We are childhood sweethearts. When I first met him, he was like a little nerd, with a serious face, holding a thick book, and was immersed in the book in a daze. He was different from those young masters of wealthy families who were playing birds and fishing around him." Shen Qingqing recalled the time when they first met.

"We got to know each other later. My elder sister also loved reading at that time, so we became good friends. Later, at my coming-of-age party, Madam Wang took a liking to me at first sight and told my parents that our two families wanted to get engaged. My parents did not agree immediately, but asked me if I liked Yan Zhao. I didn't know what love was at that time, so I thought Yan Zhao and I were just good friends, so I told my parents that I didn't like him."

"Mother and Madam Wang said they wanted to keep me by their side for two more years, and that they would discuss the engagement when I'm older. In fact, they were just politely rejecting Madam Wang's offer. After all, the Wang family is a well-known family in Yangzhou City, so it's not easy to reject them directly."

"But I don't know where that stupid boy Wang Yanzhao heard that I rejected his family's engagement. He stopped my carriage on the street as I was about to go home. He asked me if I had someone I liked, who he was, and if there was anything wrong with me. Tell me, I will change, but please don't like others, okay?"

"I was shocked at that time. It turned out that he had liked me since childhood. But I was not sure at that time whether I liked him or not, so I told him that I always regarded him as a friend. That idiot walked away dejectedly. I looked at his back as he left, and felt a little weird in my heart, but I just thought that I had hurt a good friend's heart and did not think much about it." Shen Qingqing talked about Wang Yanzhao with a happy smile on her face.

"What happened next? How did you get together?" Shen Yanyan asked curiously.

"Later, when I was sixteen years old, I caught a cold and became very ill. My parents sought help from many doctors in Yangzhou City, but none of them could cure me. When Wang Yanzhao found out, he went to Baizhugou outside Yangzhou City and invited a famous doctor to cure me. That doctor had a strange personality and most people could not invite him. My father also went to invite him in person, but he didn't even get to see him. I don't know how Wang Yanzhao managed to invite him." Shen Qingqing felt a little distressed when she said this.

The two sisters looked at their eldest sister's distressed expression, and Shen Yanyan asked: How did Young Master Wang invite that miracle doctor?

Shen Qingqing continued, "The doctor wanted to ask for a Qinglong Temple amulet, but he couldn't leave Baizhu Valley due to his mobility problems. He asked Yan Zhao to help him get one and he would save me."

"Just a talisman made that miracle doctor take action. Doesn't he rarely take action easily?" Shen Yanyan was a little curious.

"It's not easy to get the amulet from Qinglong Temple." Shen Lingling said on the side.

"Yes, if you sincerely want a peace amulet, you have to get up early every day and copy Buddhist scriptures for forty-nine days. When you are in the temple, you have to follow the monks in the temple to practice hard. The schedule is extremely strict. Only a few people have been able to get a amulet."

He is a young man from an aristocratic family who values ​​reputation the most. He can do so much for her. If she misses such a person, she will probably have many regrets for the rest of her life.

"When I went to see him after I recovered from my illness, he had lost a lot of weight. A young man from an aristocratic family who had never touched water had practiced hard in the temple for forty-nine days. When I saw him walking towards me from the steps of the temple, I instantly realized that I actually liked him in my heart. Later we got engaged, and you know what happened later. When we were about to get married, his grandmother passed away, and according to the rules of the Wang family, we delayed it for another three years."

Shen Qingqing looked at her two sisters and said earnestly, "At that time, I thought I didn't like him and missed a lot. If I had seen my heart clearly earlier, we wouldn't have waited for so many years before getting married."

"It's rare that Young Master Wang cares so much about his sister." Shen Yanyan said with a naive smile!

"But what if he changes in the future? Everyone will change." Shen Yanyan said again.

"But if we give up the present because we are afraid of change, it will be unfair to ourselves and others. We will only know what will happen in the future. We can't be afraid to move forward because of a little uncertainty, right?" Shen Qingqing said slowly.

"Yes, we can't deny everything in the present just because of a little uncertainty." Shen Lingling's voice rose slightly, her tone light.

"What the eldest and second sisters said makes sense." Shen Yanyan also smiled.

The three sisters chatted for a long time before falling asleep.

March 27th is a very auspicious day, suitable for marriage.

Shen Qingqing was sitting in front of the dressing table wearing an exquisite red wedding dress. Her mother was doing her makeup, while sisters Shen Yanyan and Shen Lingling were standing by and watching.

"Comb once to the ends, comb twice to the eyebrows, comb three times to the ground full of children and grandchildren." Mother Shen combed Shen Qingqing's hair with a wooden comb, her eyes red.

Wearing a hairpin, tying her hair into a bun, and a red veil, she is now someone else's wife.

Shen Qingqing wore a golden crown and jade hairpins on her head. Her face was fair and delicate. She put on some powder, lipstick with peach blossoms, eyebrows with black eyebrow pencil, and a translucent jade pendant, which made her already delicate face look even more beautiful.

"Sister, you are so beautiful." The two sisters said at the same time.

"You two little girls are quite sweet-talkers," Shen Yanyan glared at them.

At this time, the maid came in to report.

"Miss, the uncle is here."

"Let your brother take you out." Mother Shen tidied up Shen Qingqing's clothes and went out with a group of maids.

Shen Zhimo walked forward and carried Shen Qingqing out, saying as he walked: "If you are wronged in the Wang family in the future, you must tell your family. No matter what time, your brother and family will protect you, understand?" Shen Zhimo was afraid that his sister would be wronged, so he explained everything one by one.

"Okay, Qingqing got it," Shen Qingqing's voice was a little choked up, but at this moment, her heart was filled with more joy. No matter what, she felt at ease with her family around.

Shen Zhimo carried Shen Qingqing out of the house, and Wang Yanzhao stood in front of the mansion. He was tall and handsome, and his bright red wedding dress made him look even more energetic.

Seeing Shen Qingqing on Shen Zhimo's back, Wang Yanzhao's eyes became extremely gentle.

"The bride is getting into the sedan chair." The matchmaker shouted loudly.

Wang Yanzhao stretched out his right hand and carefully helped Shen Qingqing into the bridal sedan.

"Treat my sister well in the future. If she is wronged in your house, don't blame me for being rude to you." Shen Zhimo patted Wang Yanzhao's shoulder and said with a hint of threat in his words.

"I will definitely treat Qingqing well and will never let her suffer any grievances. Please rest assured, brother." Wang Yanzhao cupped his hands.

Joyful sounds were heard outside, and with everyone's blessings, Shen Qingqing and Wang Yanzhao boarded the bridal sedan to the Wang family.

The red wedding dress stretched for dozens of miles. The carriages were lined up from the beginning to the end of the street in an orderly manner. The eldest daughter of the Shen family was getting married, and half of the shops in Yangzhou City were tied with festive red silk. The scene was extremely spectacular.

Outside the Shen residence, there was the sound of gongs and drums, and a long wedding procession stretched from one end of the street to the other. The ten miles of red wedding dresses were extremely festive. Both sides of the street were filled with onlookers, all of whom were amazed by the grand ceremony of the Wang family getting married and the Shen family marrying off their daughter.
