Chapter 509 [The Legend of Zhen Huan 44]
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the wedding date of Prince Guo and Meng Jingxian is just around the corner. As a concubine, Shen Meizhuang needs to marry into the palace after the main wife enters the palace, and she can bring a certain amount of dowry, but it is stipulated that it cannot exceed the size of the main wife.
As time went by, the wedding of Prince Guo finally arrived. In order to show the world how much he valued this marriage, Prince Guo decided to go to the Duke of Pei's mansion to meet his bride, Meng Jingxian. This move made Meng Jingxian overjoyed. She had been looking forward to this day, and now she finally got her wish and became the wife of Prince Guo.
When Prince Guo rode his tall horse to the Duke of Pei's mansion, Meng Jingxian could not wait to see him. She was wearing a gorgeous wedding dress and a phoenix crown and bridal robe, and she was beautiful. Seeing Prince Guo coming to pick her up in person, Meng Jingxian was filled with joy and moved. She believed that her choice was right and that she would be happy in the future.
After paying respects to her parents, Meng Jingxian was carried on her brother's back to the bridal sedan. Along the way, the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and cheers were endless, and it was very lively. With a shout of "Lift the sedan", the sedan slowly lifted up and began to head towards Prince Guo's mansion. Sitting in the sedan, Meng Jingxian felt nervous and expectant. She didn't know what kind of life was waiting for her, but her heart was full of longing and hope for the future.
As the sedan bumped along the road, Meng Jingxian felt the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Through the gap in the curtains of the sedan, she saw the crowds of onlookers and the festive atmosphere along the way. Time passed by, and the sedan finally arrived at the Prince Guo's mansion. When the sedan stopped, Meng Jingxian's heart was also excited. She knew that this moment meant that she was about to enter a new stage of life and become the wife of Prince Guo.
After the wedding ceremony, Meng Jingxian was sent to the bridal chamber. She sat quietly by the bed and waited. Time passed by, and finally she heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
Prince Guo walked slowly into the room and looked at Meng Jingxian, feeling a little guilty. He walked to the bed and sat down, saying softly, "Jingxian, since you have married me, I will treat you sincerely."
Meng Jingxian raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes. She said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I know that Your Majesty has someone else in his heart. I don't ask Your Majesty to treat me wholeheartedly, but I ask that Your Majesty can keep a place for me."
Prince Guo looked at Meng Jingxian and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He held Meng Jingxian's hand and said, "I understand. I will do my best."
Meng Jingxian smiled and nodded, tears rolling down her cheeks. She knew that all this would take time and effort. And Prince Guo also secretly made up his mind to treat this kind and gentle woman well.
……
A month passed. During this period, although Meng Jingxian failed to completely occupy Prince Guo's heart, she had already occupied a certain position in his heart.
Soon, it was the day for Prince Guo to marry his concubine. The night before, Prince Guo said to Meng Jingxian, "Jingxian, don't worry, Shen will definitely not be able to get past you after she enters the mansion, so just rest assured."
Meng Jingxian heard this, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes, but she still pretended to be very moved and said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
She knew that her efforts during this period had finally paid off, and now she was walking step by step towards the heart of Prince Guo. As long as she could hold on to this position, no one could take it away from her.
On the second day, the emperor issued an order to give Zhen Huan to Shen Meizhuang as a concubine, and everyone was shocked. Everyone in the Zhen family was very confused and didn't know why such a thing happened. Zhen Huan herself couldn't accept this fact. She originally thought that she could marry her beloved and live a happy life, but she didn't expect that she would become someone else's concubine now, which made her feel extremely painful and desperate.
Concubines, to put it bluntly, are maids who come with the master as a dowry. Their role is just to consolidate the master's favor when he is unable to sleep with her. Their status is even lower than that of a personal maid. Even if they are lucky enough to get a higher status in the future, the experience of being a concubine will still follow them like a shadow, becoming a stain that they will never be able to erase in their lives.
Zhen Huan knew this very well. She knew clearly that her fate had been completely changed and the future was full of unknowns and difficulties. The grief in her heart surged like a tide, making it almost unbearable for her. At this moment, she seemed to be in endless darkness, without a glimmer of hope. However, facing the cruel reality, how should Zhen Huan choose?
