Today is a sunny day with a gentle breeze. It is an auspicious day for getting married.

In exchange for peace between the two countries, the legitimate princess married into the Northern Qi Dynasty with great ceremony.

Chu Qing was wearing a phoenix coronet and bridal robe, sitting in front of the dressing mirror, with no joy on her face.

Even though I don't want to accept my fate, I am powerless to resist.

"See the Queen."

Chu Qing looked at the queen in the mirror expressionlessly, without saying a word, like a puppet.

The queen sighed and said softly, "Qing'er, don't be angry with your mother. After we say goodbye today, we don't know when we will meet again..."

Chu Qing burst into tears and turned her head suddenly: "Mother, why are you so cruel!"

The queen reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her face: "It's not that mother is cruel, this is your responsibility as a royal princess."

"What responsibility? You are just using me to pave the way for your brother!"

"Qing'er!" The queen's face darkened.

Looking at her daughter's wedding dress, she softened her voice again: "Mother is doing this for your own good. Marrying to Northern Qi is the best arrangement for you and your brother. When you become a mother, you will understand mother's painstaking efforts."

The queen hugged Chu Qing in her arms and said, "Which mother wants to be separated from her child? If we were just an ordinary wealthy family, your mother would choose a live-in son-in-law for you and pamper you every day. But this is the royal family. If you are not careful, you may even lose your life."

"Outsiders only see our glory, but who understands the bitterness and difficulties we go through?" When she said this, the queen's voice choked a little.

Chu Qing hugged the queen tightly and cried bitterly, his eyes full of confusion and anxiety about the future.

"But don't be afraid, Qing'er. You have the Queen Mother, your brother, and the Wei family behind you. When your brother ascends the throne, you will have the entire Dongling behind you. This is your confidence, and you will be the honorable queen of Northern Qi."

"But the person my daughter likes is not Qi Zhen!"

"Silly child, how long can love last? The body will age, love will change, only power is the best thing to rely on."

"My mother and your father were childhood sweethearts, and they were inseparable. When they were in love, they even made a vow to each other. But you see, feelings can change. If my mother hadn't fought for it, the position of Queen and Crown Prince would not have been passed down to me and your brother."

"My mother also had expectations of your father, but as time went by, those expectations were almost gone. Your father was afraid of the Wei family and therefore disliked my mother, but what does it matter if he dislikes me? I am still the queen."

At this point, the Queen looked down at her daughter and said seriously, "Qing'er, remember, as long as you hold power firmly in your hands, even if the other party doesn't like you, he can't do anything to you."

Chu Qing nodded.

"However, it would be better if you could win Qi Zhen's heart, so that you can be more relaxed and happy. You don't have to be afraid, because your hundreds of guards are all the best of the Wei family army, and your mother has also assigned Hong Gu and Zhao Ma to you. When you go to Northern Qi, you must not be willful anymore. Listen to them more and don't act recklessly."

"Also, your mother has found a lot of fertility-enhancing prescriptions for you. Only if you give birth to a child soon can you gain a firm foothold in Northern Qi."

Chu Qing frowned in disgust.

"Mother is doing this for your own good, be obedient."

Chu Qing lowered his head.

"You have to be careful of Cheng Yunge."

"Why?" Chu Qing raised his head with some confusion in his eyes.

She was going to Northern Qi, where she was unfamiliar with the place.

Cheng Yun Ge had a good relationship with her, and when she thought that Cheng Yun Ge was going too, she felt a little less anxious.

The queen sighed: "Cheng Yunge is not as simple as she seems. You should stay away from her."

Seeing her daughter so ignorant, the queen made up her mind that when she arrived in Northern Qi, she would arrange for someone to get rid of Cheng Yunge.

At this time, a maid came in and saw Chu Qing's face was red from crying. She quickly advised: "Oh my princess, don't cry on this happy day. You need to put on makeup again."

The queen held her daughter's shoulders and wiped her tears.

Chu Qing couldn't stop crying. She had never seen such a gentle mother.

"Stop crying and put your makeup back on quickly so as not to miss the time."

Several makeup girls quickly helped her clean her face and put on makeup again.

Cheng Yun Ge, as a concubine, was also dressed up, but not better than the princess. Her wedding dress was not bright red, but pink.

Cheng Zongyang entered the palace early in the morning and stood waiting with the officials at the bottom of the high steps.

Lin and Cheng Jiuyuan accompanied Cheng Yunge into the palace and waited in a side hall.

Cheng Yunge’s dowry was quite a lot, most of which was books and paintings, which were not worth much in total.

Ever since Cheng Yunge went crazy and tried to overthrow Lin last time, Cheng Zongyang treated this daughter as if he didn't exist.

He didn't care about these things at all, and Lin cared even less.

The dowry was not opened and shown to the public until she arrived at her husband's house. By that time, Cheng Yunge was already far away in Northern Qi, so the embarrassment had nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It would be best to let the people of Northern Qi look down on Cheng Yunge, so that her life will not be easy. This is what Lin wants to see.

When the palace maid was present, Lin pretended to say a few polite words to ask her to take good care of her husband and children in the future. But as soon as the palace maid left, Lin sat on the chair farthest away from Cheng Yunge and was too lazy to even look at her.

Cheng Jiuyuan also sat next to Lin and talked to her in a low voice.

"Mother got up early this morning. Are you tired?"

"My body is heavy, and I feel a little tired." Lin stroked her abdomen and smiled gently.

"By the way, when the time comes, can you name the child?" Lin suddenly asked.

"How about that?"

"Why not? Without you, this child wouldn't be born."

"Father won't agree."

Needless to say, Cheng Zongyang values ​​this child very much.

"Then...you decide on the nickname."

Cheng Yunge looked at the two people who were talking happily and snorted coldly.

Lin frowned and looked at her, showing dissatisfaction.

"Mother, please be careful. People say giving birth is like going through the gates of hell. I hope there won't be two lives for one." Cheng Yunge stared at Lin's belly and cursed viciously.

She was going to Northern Qi anyway, so she didn't need to worry about anything anymore. She could just say whatever she wanted to say today.

When Lin heard this, her face suddenly changed.

Nanny Wang scolded, "Young lady!"

"Cheng Yunge! How outrageous!" Lin was so angry that she was shaking all over.

Cheng Jiuyuan comforted her, "Don't be angry, mother. Nanny Wang, help me walk outside. I've been sitting for an hour. My waist must be hurting soon."

Nanny Wang helped Lin calm down, glared at Cheng Yunge fiercely, and helped Lin out.

"Sister, you are so filial. Do you really treat Lin Manqing as your own mother? Once she gives birth to the child, what status will you have in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Cheng Yunge looked at Cheng Yunge sarcastically.

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and said, "I am not greedy for anything in the Xiangfu. It won't affect anything whether I have this child or not. I am just worried about my sister. If she goes to Northern Qi, she may never come back in this lifetime. The Northern Qi prince seems to have a misunderstanding of my sister, and my sister has to make a living under the Fourth Princess. Just think about it, tsk..."

Cheng Yunge stood up and said, "Don't be so complacent! I will come back! I will come back in glory!"

Cheng Jiuyuan shook his head. This Cheng Yunge was easily irritated. His personality was very similar to Chu Qing's. He did not have Bai Lu's forbearance at all.

"Cheng Jiuyuan, even if a lot has changed in this life, fate is fate, and you can't beat me."

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips and said, "Then I wish you and the Crown Prince of Northern Qi a happy and harmonious life. I will be waiting for you in Dongling."

At this time, two palace maids came in from outside.

"My two girls, the time is almost up, it's time to go to the main hall."

Cheng Jiuyuan slowly stood up, walked forward and held Cheng Yunge's hand: "Sister, I'll take you there."

Cheng Yunge only felt a chill spreading from her wrist to her whole body. She struggled, but Cheng Jiuyuan's hand was like an iron clamp and she couldn't get away at all.

"Let's go, don't miss the time." Cheng Jiuyuan said with a smile.

In her previous life, Cheng Yunge sent her to Northern Qi in the same way.

In this life, she also personally sent her to that hell on earth.
