Chapter 2
Obviously he is a concubine, but because Shen Qi was born a moment earlier than himself, he was reduced to the second, and he was bullied by a child from a concubine's room, so he first became an official and became a noble.

But after that, in the short period of less than three months in this Shen residence, many things have already happened.

For example, a child from a concubine inherits the title, another example is that the eldest son of the Shen family broke his leg and is inhumane, or another example is that the second son of the Shen family becomes the sole heir.

If you want to talk about the originality of it, I am afraid that anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but everyone tacitly doesn't say it.

"Miss is going to get married in three months, and only one mandarin duck is embroidered on this hijab, why is the other not embroidered?" Ah Lu grinded and looked at the hijab that was abandoned aside, feeling extremely pitiful.

Shen Mingxi cast a glance at the red silk that had once again fallen to dust, "Mandarin ducks are originally male and female, but...the other one is gone."

"What did the lady say, why don't you come again?" Ah Lu joked amusedly.

Shen Mingxi just smiled and continued to transcribe in his hand.

"Miss, what are you copying?" Ah Lu was very curious, but she was bought into the mansion when she was young and could not read.

"Buddhist scriptures." After brushing Xia Tian's wide sleeves, and seeing that the ink was not thick, she knew that Ah Lu was distracted, and said, "Continue to study ink."

"Yes, it's just... why did Miss copy the Buddhist scriptures so well?" Ah Lu asked.

The ink pen stopped suddenly, and continued to wave, "It's like praying for the days after I get married."

"Miss is praying for blessings at this time, can't you win my uncle's favor with her alluring appearance?" Ah Lu said amusedly.

"The appearance is fleeting, but it's just a superficial appearance. You forgot that there is another person who married me together." After speaking, he paused for a moment, and then said, "That person is a childhood sweetheart, and I am just a tool for marriage."

"Miss, why are you so sad." Ah Lu knew that she had said the wrong thing at first, and she didn't know why.

"Ah Lu, don't forget, it's a small thing to marry in the past, but the marriage between the two families is obvious. The situation is not yet determined, and it will affect the whole body." Shen Mingxi and even the reason behind it are just helpless.

"Once we fail in the future, what will happen to us will be a catastrophe of genocide."

"How could it be?" The ink cube in Ah Lu's hand accidentally splashed bits and pieces of ink, staining a large piece and smudged on the rice paper.

"It's good to understand. When he enters the mansion, he will know where he is." Shen Mingxi said coldly, but his heart was also cold.

Even if things come to fruition, military power will be feared by every king, it's just a matter of time.

After all, the scorching summer is coming to an end. Before the breeze comes, the eighth day of October, which is a good day for marriage, comes.

The Shen family once again ushered in the happy event of marrying a daughter in this eventful autumn.

With the sound of gongs and drums, the fluttering and beating was very lively, so she married into the palace, and was married in with another sedan chair.

After going through all kinds of complicated rituals, he finally entered the new house and rested.

At this time, the front hall was full of excitement with the long feast of wine and banquets, it was fairly quiet here, and after sending the rest of the people out, they lifted their heads and panted heavily.

Ah Lu, who was at the side, saw that the lady looked inappropriate again, so frightened, she hurriedly picked up the red hijab on the ground, and covered it up no matter what she said.

"Miss, why did you lift the hijab yourself? This hijab is for the groom-to-be."

"He won't come here today, so it doesn't matter if he lifts it or not." Shen Mingxi picked up his big sleeves warmly and wanted to fan the wind.

"Miss, why bother to say that, the days to come will be long." Ah Lu comforted.

"It's not long at all." Shen Mingxi seemed to half sigh.

The current monarch is not in his prime. Although the crown prince has not yet been established, the private competition between the princes has intensified, but it has never been stopped. It is clear that the one above has the will but is powerless.

"It's better to lose than to win." Remembering that before he left the house, he went to bid farewell to the mistress because of the ancestral system, and he understood what the other party said.

"Miss, what about winning or losing?" Ah Lu didn't understand.

"It's nothing, bring a basin of hot water, and wait for me to wash up." He took off the heavy phoenix crown on his head, looked at the pink cheeks in the mirror, and stared in a daze.

Thinking of that person's promise, now this phoenix coronet and Xiapei are placed between the two of us, like ten thousand layers of shackles.

As night fell, the guests returned home happily. Without the sound of gongs and drums, it was extremely deserted, and only the sound of footsteps came from outside.

"The Ninth Prince has rested in the Nuanxiang Pavilion." The person who notified him left after finishing speaking.

"Miss." Ah Lu looked at Shen Mingxi who sat in front of the dressing table and hadn't spoken for a long time, frowning beautifully, feeling that she was wronged.

It took Shen Mingxi a while to recover, before he realized that Ah Lu was complaining for himself, and found it funny.

"I have never met him. The two of them are childhood sweethearts, so they are incomparable. Didn't I tell you before leaving the house?" Shen Mingxi really didn't care.

"That's right, I said, anyway, the lord still relies on our family, and he has to do some superficial work." Ah Lu said.

"I wish he didn't do it, it saves me the trouble of dealing with it. In the future, I have to say this in front of me, and if others hear it, it will cause trouble." Shen Mingxi yawned, half concealing that he was Miss Everyone. If you behave like this, you will sleep after covering the quilt.

"This is not the Shen family, so be alert." In the end, I still feel sorry for Ah Lu who came here as a dowry.

Dowry is considered half-communication, and it's always bad to be with Ah Lu. Originally, she wanted to return Ah Lu's contract of sale, so that she could make a good marriage while she was young.

It's not like following me, a pawn in a marriage, a strange palace, and being involved in the battle for the throne, becoming cannon fodder in obscurity.

It's just that Ah Lu refused in every possible way, forcing her to die, so she reluctantly agreed, but Ah Lu's temper is too straightforward.

Forget it, I need to cover up more in the future.

The dragon and phoenix candles outside were swaying gracefully against the night wind, but Shen Mingxi had no time to admire them, as if it wasn't his wedding night.

After thinking for a long time, he still got up and called Ah Lu from outside.

"Ah Lu, go to the kitchen to see if there are any chestnuts." Bai Yu raised the hanging curtain with his hand and placed it on the copper hook.

"Miss is hungry? But isn't miss allergic to chestnuts?" Ah Lu entered in response.

According to the royal customs, tomorrow morning he was supposed to enter the palace to meet the emperor, the empress dowager, and the mother and concubine of the Ninth Prince, but this entering the palace could not avoid bumping into him, so it was better to avoid them.

"I don't want to enter the palace, and the two people who agree with each other are also good." Shen Mingxi smiled lightly, and the light of the red candle dazzled his eyes, as if his eyes were full of sadness.

Ah Lu didn't talk too much when she saw this, she just went to the kitchen of the palace and found chestnuts.
