Chapter 225 A match made in heaven
Seeing that the empress dowager was getting angrier and angrier, Lu Chenshuang quickly brought her a cup of tea and asked her to drink it to calm down.
The Queen Mother drank a sip of tea and then looked at Lu Chenshuang and continued: "You are now a confirmed Princess of War.
There is nothing that is unknown, and it is good to know the dangers of the inner palace earlier, so that you can be more careful in the future."
Lu Chenshuang nodded quickly and said, "Shuang'er will definitely remember the Queen Mother's teachings."
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "You have examined the Queen and you should know that her child has already died in her womb."
Lu Chenshuang nodded and replied, "I checked the Queen's pulse at the time and found that the fetus was indeed dead in her womb.
So when she asked me to prescribe medicine or give her an injection, I refused.”
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, “Fortunately you didn’t agree. She was determined to frame you for the fact that the child didn’t exist.
She killed her child by taking medicine herself."
Lu Chenshuang was really shocked this time. It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. The queen's eagerness to have a child was true. Her pregnancy was not easy to come by, so how could she kill her own child?
After the Queen Mother's explanation, Lu Chenshuang finally understood the whole story.
It turned out that the queen knew that there was a high probability that she would not be able to keep the baby.
In addition, something happened to the Zhou family, and she needed to run around for them, but her body simply didn't allow it.
So she got a secret medicine from somewhere, which was said to be able to preserve the fetus and avoid having to have an abortion, but it was extremely risky.
The queen finally used it, but the next day she could not feel the movement of the baby in her belly.
The queen panicked at the time. She knew that the emperor no longer liked her and she needed to find someone to take the blame.
She originally wanted to frame the matter on the concubines in the harem, but the emperor said that she needed to concentrate on her pregnancy and did not allow the concubines in the harem to visit her.
So she set her sights on Lu Chenshuang, because Lu Chenshuang had been treating her and was allowed to enter and leave the harem. Lu Chenshuang was completely caught in an unprovoked disaster.
Lu Chenshuang secretly lamented that he was an unlucky guy.
After talking to the Queen Mother for a long time, the Queen Mother let Lu Chenshuang leave the palace. Before she left, she also gave her a lot of good things.
Lu Chenshuang did not refuse and also gave the empress dowager a few bottles of health pills and beauty pills in return.
Lu Chenshuang left the palace. Nanny Fang looked at the Queen Mother, who couldn't stop smiling, and waved away all the palace servants and said, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother. Congratulations to the Queen Mother. You have finally found a daughter-in-law that suits your heart.
The most precious thing is that Jiu Ye likes it himself. You don’t have to worry about Jiu Ye’s marriage anymore.”
The Queen Mother looked at Nanny Fang with disdain and said with a smile: "You are the only one who knows the most, how come you have accepted the favors from Princess Zhan again?
Hurry up and bring it here to honor me!"
Nanny Fang quickly smiled and said, "Nothing can be hidden from the Queen Mother's eyes.
But this time, I really cannot give it to the Queen Mother.
Because the princess promised me that she would go easy on me next time we play mahjong.
The Queen Mother has collected a lot of good things today, would you mind giving some to me?"
Nanny Fang has been with the Empress Dowager for more than 40 years. The friendship between master and servant is not something that ordinary people can compare to.
Nanny Fang was the Empress Dowager's right-hand man and she couldn't live without her for a moment. So even the Emperor was polite to Nanny Fang.
Usually when there was no one around, Nanny Fang spoke to the Empress Dowager in a more casual manner.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother quickly hugged the bottles and jars that Lu Chenshuang had just given her. She said, "These are gifts from the Ninth Wife to me. How can I give them to you?"
Nanny Fang saw how stingy the Queen Mother was and didn't argue with her. She just laughed and said, "Now you don't mind that the princess was divorced."
The Queen Mother stretched her head to look outside and said with a guilty conscience, "Don't talk nonsense, when did I ever despise her for being divorced.
If Shuang'er heard this, she would definitely break up with me."
In fact, the Queen Mother did not really dislike Lu Chenshuang for being a divorced person, because she had never thought that Mu Hansu would ask to marry Lu Chenshuang.
It was just that one time when the Queen Mother was chatting with Nanny Fang, she inadvertently mentioned who would become the Princess of Zhan in the future. The Queen Mother sighed and said that it would be better if Lu Chenshuang was not divorced. She was thinking of forcing the two of them to get married.
But I didn’t expect that Mu Hansu would really like Lu Chenshuang and go to ask for the imperial edict in person.
As long as Mu Hansu is willing to marry, the Queen Mother doesn't care whether the other party has been divorced or not. Even marrying the daughter of a peddler is better than being single all your life.
God knows how anxious the Queen Mother is because Mu Hansu is reluctant to marry a princess. Every once in a while, she goes to the tablet of the late emperor and complains about it.
In the end, the matter ended with the Queen Mother giving Nanny Fang a bottle of health pills.
The Queen Mother looked at Nanny Fang and said, "Since you have accepted my things, please leave the palace and run an errand for me."
Nanny Fang knew that the Empress Dowager had something for her to do, so she quickly agreed.
As soon as Lu Chenshuang returned home, she was taken to Lin's yard by Shaoyao.
Lu Chenshuang thought something serious had happened. When she saw Lin, she quickly asked, "What's wrong, mother? What happened?"
Lin smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. The Ministry of Rites just sent you and King Zhan's birth dates today."
Lu Chenshuang was relieved when she heard about this. In folk marriage, the most important thing is to match the horoscopes.
Although her and Mu Hansu's marriage was granted by the emperor, it was still necessary for their horoscopes to be compatible.
But most of the time it's just a formality. If nothing unexpected happens, the two people's horoscopes will definitely be compatible.
Sure enough, Lin handed the horoscope completed by the Ministry of Rites to Lu Chenshuang, who was unwilling to accept it. There were four big words "Match Made in Heaven" written on it.
This should be a happy thing, why does Lin look a little sad?
Lu Chenshuang took the initiative to ask: "Mom, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Lin sighed and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the wedding date is a bit tight, and I can't bear to leave you."
Lu Chenshuang exclaimed, "How urgent is it?"
When Mu Hansu came last night, he only said that he would urge the Ministry of Rites to complete the three books and six ceremonies as soon as possible, but he did not mention the wedding date.
She thought Mu Hansu would discuss this with her, but she didn't expect that they would even set the wedding date just by matching their horoscopes.
Seeing that Lu Chenshuang didn't know, Lin said, "The Ministry of Rites said that October 6th is a good day for marriage."
When Lu Chenshuang heard October 6th, she was a little confused. Doesn't that mean there are still three months left? This is too rushed.
Seeing Lu Chenshuang's shocked face, Lin quickly comforted her, "It's a bit late, but fortunately we still made it in time.
Your bride's maid has been preparing for some time. But the wedding dress is a bit rushed, so you should not go out during this period, and you should just stay at home to embroider the wedding dress."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chenshuang laughed awkwardly twice. Her hands were fine for sewing for others, but if she were asked to embroider a dowry, she would not be able to do it well even in three years, let alone three months.
