Chapter 230 Wedding
The Forbidden City is filled with joy today. Big red lanterns and wedding cloths spread out with no end in sight. The palace maids and eunuchs have all changed into new clothes, and their smiles make people feel happy.

Yihuan was putting on her makeup: "Did Li go to the eldest princess's place?"

"Empress Qi left before dawn and hasn't come out yet." Yuling was combing Yihuan's hair when Yuxue replied.

"It's still early, keep an eye on Liuliu, and come with me later." Yihua thought for a moment and said, "Is the nine-story glazed platform ready? Bring it to me to see."

"Your Majesty, you are always worried. You just looked at it yesterday." After Yuxue finished speaking, she went out for a while and brought back a box half a person's height. She opened it carefully and saw that it was made of gold and jade. Just looking at its appearance, it was priceless.

Yihuan opened the drawers layer by layer, and inside were items collected from Yinzhen's private storehouse. There were also many jewelry made in the Ming Dynasty, which were extremely exquisite. Most of them were in sets. The eldest princess definitely liked them very much.

Liuliu had woken up a long time ago. She wanted to go find the eldest princess early in the morning. Yihuan considered that it was rare for the eldest princess to have a private conversation with Li, so she kept Liuliu by her side.

Liuliu reached out to touch the nine-tiered glazed platform, but Yihua slapped her hand on the back, saying, "This is for your elder sister to show off. If you break it, mother won't be able to find another one."

"Mother, you look down on me. Who said I would break anything?" Liu Liu was not convinced, but she did not insist. She just looked at her.

"Mom, it's so beautiful. Can I have one too?" Liu Liu drooled with envy.

Yihuan smiled and hugged her: "Of course, as long as you like it, mother will find it for you."

"Mother is the best. Liuliu loves mother the most." Yihuan was kissed by Liuliu and smiled with a soft heart.

At the same time, the eldest princess had already changed into most of her clothes, except for the outermost layer of auspicious clothes. Opposite her was sitting Li.

Li sat behind the eldest princess, silently watching her put on makeup and change clothes. The two of them tacitly did not speak.

Fortunately, the people around the eldest princess were very familiar with the way the mother and daughter got along with each other, and no one expressed surprise.

After a long conversation, Li spoke in a hoarse voice: "I know you blame me in your heart."

As soon as these words were spoken, Nanny Jin hurriedly brought all the servants out of the room and stood guard at the door to prevent anyone from approaching.

"At that time, I was just a little princess in the prince's residence, and she was a high-ranking wife. But I could feel that the emperor liked me more."

The eldest princess lowered her head and listened without responding.

"Later, everyone got pregnant one after another, me, Mrs. Song, and Mrs. Song. Mrs. Song and I were not lucky, and we couldn't keep our first child. Then you came, and I was very happy."

"But everything changed after Fu Jin gave birth to Hong Hui."

"It turns out that the legitimate son can make such a big difference."

"At that time, I was thinking, it would be great if you were a son. If you can't have a legitimate son, it would be good to have a eldest son."

"Later, I had Hongyu and Hongyun, but I lost the favor of you and the emperor."

"Big Princess, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother. You will be fine in the future just like you are now. Maintain a good relationship with your wife and be on good terms with Honghui. Then you will be the noble princess of the Qing Dynasty."

"You and I have been indifferent over the years, and Hongyun has always respected you. He is a good brother."

"After all, you and he are brothers from the same mother, and you will prosper together. Even if you leave the palace in the future, you must take good care of him and don't let him take the wrong path." The eldest princess turned around and smiled: "So, mother said so much, but the key point is actually at the end."

Li pinched her handkerchief uncomfortably. "I've seen the makeup that the Queen gave you. It's gorgeous. I don't have much savings. Here are the deeds to the two shops. Take them."

"Mother, even if you don't tell me, I will still take care of Hongyun. He is my brother." The eldest princess didn't look at the box containing the land deed, and said seriously, "My daughter won't be able to stay with you all the time in the future. Take care of yourself, mother."

Li suddenly looked up at the sky, her heart was sour, this daughter had been estranged from her for a long time, and had learned to whitewash the situation. She had recently watched the end of the Queen Mother, and wanted to make up for her relationship with the eldest princess, but as she talked, things became sour.

Perhaps this kind of relationship between them, neither too close nor too distant, is the most suitable.

******
The wedding of the eldest princess had been talked about by the people of the capital for a long time. After all, the emperor, the empress, and the queen mother all gave valuable gifts to show off. The dowry was so full that it weighed 120 pieces. According to the onlookers, the carrying pole was bent. Not to mention the celebrations that were celebrated by throwing money all over the capital.

Although she was not the queen's daughter, this princess was carried on the wedding sedan by Prince Honghui himself. Everyone knew how favored she was.

On the day of his daughter's wedding, Yinzhen suffered from insomnia.

He himself did not sleep well. After all, Yinzhen had too many things on his mind. Sometimes Yihuan could vaguely sense that he would get up in the middle of the night and write something down with a pen. It was because he had an inspiration but was afraid of forgetting it.

On the day of the eldest princess's wedding, Yinzhen was drinking in the Yikun Palace. He looked at the red color blowing in his face and ate a piece of vegetable with gritted teeth: "Six Six, I must keep it until twenty."

"Okay, okay." Yihuan nodded quickly. Of course she agreed, but she didn't know how long Yinzhen could stick to this sudden whim.

"It's a good bargain for the Zhu family kid."

"My eldest princess is gentle, virtuous, dignified and generous. He is not worthy of her at all!"

“Yes, yes, yes.” Yihuan took the wine jug away and motioned to Yuxue to bring some herbal tea to sober up.

"Sons are better. A son's wife adds to the family income, while a daughter will marry someone else sooner or later."

"The eldest princess has her own princess residence. She doesn't live with the Zhu family on weekdays. She is very free. If she misses you, she can come to the palace at any time."

"The child has been locked up in the boudoir since she was young. Now that she has grown up, it's time for her to see the outside world." Yihuan longed to go outside the palace. She had been traveling here for so long, but she had only gone out alone a few times.

Don't go out of the front door and don't step out of the back door. Yihuan has a deep understanding of these eight words.

The eldest princess's surname is Aisin-Gioro. She has the foundation to break away from the secular world. After she got married and left the palace, no one could restrain her anymore. From then on, the world was big and she had her own freedom.

"Does the Queen also want to see the outside world?" Yinzhen suddenly asked.

Yihuan was silent for a moment: "It is enough for me to stay with the emperor."

"Will you stay with me forever?" Yinzhen suddenly asked.

Yihuan's heart skipped a beat. Ever since the Demon Star incident, she had been in a state of panic for a while. After all, if the fact that she was not the original owner was exposed, she would surely be killed without a burial place.

But she was trembling with fear for several days and never received any question from Yinzhen, as if he had never doubted his identity.

Just like that, Yihuan slowly let down her guard.
