On March 13th of the fifth year of Tianwan, there were still two days until the wedding of His Majesty and Lady Su Wan.

Su Chuang and others who had stayed in Kyoto to watch the fun were stunned.

Looking for them in the palace?

No, it should be said that the Ministry of Rites and Land Affairs came to contact them?!

The people in the Land Bureau did not expect that Lady Official Su Wan would do this before getting married.

Anyway, he just wanted to find Su Chuang and others, reward them with ten thousand taels of gold, and transport all the potatoes that Su Chuang and others transported from overseas to Kyoto.

At that time, people from the Land Bureau and the female official Su Wan will work together to see how to grow this thing.

Back then, Lady Su Wan used the name of Kong Zhang Sheren to grow sugar beets and increase the sugar yield of sugarcane, not to mention other things. With such great achievements, if Lady Su Wan said that potatoes could work, then it would definitely work.

But she was the first person to get things done before the wedding.

It’s not that Su Wan is anxious, but she is thinking that she has nothing to do recently anyway?

Su Wan had left the palace to prepare for her marriage on March 12. She didn't have many relatives or friends, and at most only some of her friends came to visit.

The Su family wanted to come, but needless to say, Xie Pei used all his tricks. The Su family didn't dare to say a word and just pretended that they didn't have a daughter like Su Wan.

It was his family who took the initiative to sever ties with Su Wan, and they were frequently threatened afterwards.

If they dare to say one more word, will the cold-blooded emperor who would confiscate property and execute people at will let them go?

The more they knew how much His Majesty liked Su Wan, the more afraid their family became. The daughter-in-law of this family even scolded them at home, saying that they did not recognize the true Buddha and that they deserved to lose their bright future.

In fact, everyone in his family is heartbroken about this, but it's useless to be heartbroken. Think about what they did and then think about your own life. It's better to be honest and pretend that this person doesn't exist.

Su Wan felt more at ease knowing that everything was fine at the Su family.

Yu Shu and Chunxiang are both here now, and even Wei Jun and Zhuo Hui can take leave to come to Su Wan's house to help, not to mention Aunt Yonglan and Aunt Feng Ping.

The yard was also very lively.

Yu Shu came with Chai Huan. They got married last year and looked very much in love.

Yu Shu came over at this time. After all, she was an experienced person. Although her wedding was of little reference value to Su Wan, she also shared her own experience.

Chunxiang listened carefully to what she said. She also wanted to get married in the autumn. The match arranged by her family was not bad. The young man was one or two years younger than her and looked very shy, but he was a good man.

At this time, Yu Shu's experience is ordinary to Su Wan, but it is useful to Chunxiang.

Su Wan looked at the two of them, one talking and the other listening, and suddenly realized that Li Rongrong was also listening.

When she noticed Su Wan's gaze, Li Rongrong whispered, "My distant cousin and I are getting married soon."

Really, good things come together?

That's not right. It should be said that they were little palace maids who entered the palace together and stayed there for six years. When they came out, each family must have helped them to arrange marriages.

So it wasn't that they got together, but it was their fate that they entered the palace together.

No one would have thought that they had entered the palace together six years ago and now they have become good friends.

Su Wan relaxed herself. She had already learned everything she needed to learn, so it was impossible for her to cram at the last minute.

Who knew getting married was so complicated.

I don’t know what Xie Pei is doing now, whether he is still handling official business or doing the same as her.

Su Wan smiled and recalled that she was not used to it when she first came here.

But she could only quickly calm herself down and enter the unfamiliar palace. Fortunately, she was well taken care of by the female officials. If she had gone to other places, although she still had the confidence to make her way out, it would not be as smooth as this.

What she didn't expect was that the first errand she received when she went to the palace was to deliver offerings to Lord Guandi in the Guandi Temple, and she would meet Xie Pei.

At that time, Xie Peiyuan was not as tall as he is now. Although his face was cold, he looked a little childish occasionally.

But thinking about how he was at that time, he must have been very thoughtful, and she really knew nothing, otherwise if she had caught him practicing martial arts at the Weaponry Bureau next door, it would definitely not have ended well.

It can only be said to be a coincidence.

She didn't know how much trouble there was in the palace at that time, and she was quite happy cooking every day.

Although she is happy now and continues to cook after work and can teach more people to cook, Su Wan also understands where she gets the freedom that is different from this era.

It was something she had worked hard for herself, something the female officials had worked hard for, and also something Xie Pei understood her.

Xie Pei was probably the person who understood her best in the world, so without waiting for her to raise any objections, he had already changed his behavior to the way she liked.

It’s not that her face is big, it seems to be the case.

If it weren't for my understanding of her, I'm afraid she would really go to the grassland.

Although Huyan Qiang was unable to come this time, she sent envoys here with valuable gifts, not only for Tianxiang Kingdom, but also for her alone, including a top-quality horse suitable for long-distance running.

Fortunately, Xie Pei still couldn't understand the secret code between her and Huyan Qiang, otherwise he would always feel that the Luandu tribe was very dangerous.

When Su Wan first learned about Xie Pei's feelings, she made two plans, and she would not give up both plans even now.

But everyone knows what happened later.

Xie Pei was very calculating, especially when it came to calculating her heart.

That's all.

This seems like a good day?

Su Wan looked at the clear sky outside, as if she was looking forward to the wedding coming soon?

Let’s end it quickly. Once it’s over, I won’t think about it anymore.

Having said that, the days still pass by quickly.

The relationship between husband and wife is the greatest principle of human nature. The purpose of etiquette is to be cautious in marriage.

The ancients believed that marriage was one of the most beautiful things in life. Sima Qian felt that marriage was a special relationship and possessed the virtue of exclusivity.

No matter how other people change in later generations, these words can be used for Su Wan and Xie Pei.

On the morning of March 16, the envoys from all over the world who were invited to watch the ceremony, as well as Su Chuang and his servant who were now in a daze, the latter could not believe it.

A few days ago, they thought that their decision to send potatoes was a mistake. They never thought that in just a few days, they would be able to attend the wedding of His Majesty and Lady Su Wan?

The ceremony begins in the early morning, and it is mainly His Majesty who is busy here, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth and to gods.

Although he had informed his parents and ancestors during the previous winter sacrifice, he still had to inform the gods of heaven and earth that Emperor Xie Pei of Tianxiang Kingdom wanted to marry the female official Su Wan.

Su Wan's name must also be formally written on the Taimiao Golden Book. When the wedding ceremony is about to end, Su Wan will come over and kneel down with Xie Pei to worship the royal ancestors, thus completing the ceremony.

The Queen's name will be forever written in the golden book of the Tianxiang Kingdom's royal family.

No matter how dynasties change or times change in the future, Su Wan will always be Xie Pei's queen.

It is stated in the Book of Rites that the wedding ceremony is to unite the two families, to serve the ancestral temple and to continue the family line, so gentlemen attach great importance to it.

That's about it.

Xie Pei was naturally very polite; this was something he had been waiting for for a long time, and his movements were particularly solemn.

All the complicated ceremonies continue until dusk, when the bride and groom set out. In ancient times, marriage was also called "Hun Yin". The man goes to pick up the bride at dusk, so it is called "Hun", and the woman follows the man out, which is called "Yin".

However, for the royal family, there is no need to welcome His Majesty's wedding themselves.

But this applies to ordinary royal family members. His Majesty would never send important officials from the court to welcome them. For such matters, His Majesty would definitely go in person.

After all, the engagement and proposal were all done by myself.

This time I will definitely go to greet him myself. When the Ministry of Rites was finalizing the procedure, I only asked a few questions and I knew what His Majesty meant.

If it weren't for the caution, they probably wouldn't even need to ask, as everyone would be able to guess what His Majesty was thinking.

However, the royal family did not ride horses to welcome the bride. Instead, they prepared eight thrones of the highest specifications. These thrones were majestic, with eaves on all four sides, decorated with gold foil carvings, and inlaid with cut gems in the pattern of nine flying dragons. They were the most magnificent of His Majesty's carriages.

His Majesty was present in person, sitting on the throne.

There are two such carriages in total. His Majesty sits in the former, and the Queen sits in the latter. There are curtains around it, but it is still empty during the wedding reception.

We are just waiting to pick up the Queen and bring her back in this car.

There is a waterway on the road, with the ceremonial team sweeping the front to clear the way, followed by the procession curtain, infantry barriers, ceremonial guards, soldiers, etc. In front, there are palace maids in purple clothes marching, holding rare treasures in their hands, and behind them there is a huge ceremonial team of carriages and horses, made of fragrant wood, decorated with gold, and with beams cast in gold and bronze.

From a distance, it looks like a fairy traveling.

When I went out today, I did not clear the Imperial Street of pedestrians, but instead enjoyed myself with the common people.

From the palace to Su Wan's doorstep, gold, silver and copper coins were scattered all the way, and the people shouted "Long live the emperor" incessantly.

Not to mention the people of Kyoto, even outsiders gathered on both sides of the street, waiting to watch this wedding.

There were more than a thousand people in the procession, and there were also university scholars accompanying them. The road was full of flowers and traffic. The princes and sons who followed them all wore jade belts and followed them to welcome the bride.

I'm afraid you'll only see this kind of excitement once in your lifetime.

Su Wan has already changed into her attire and is wearing a phoenix crown inlaid with gold, silver and jewels, with a total of twenty-four flowers of different sizes. This is a crown that only the empress can wear, and it is equal to the emperor's Tongtian crown.

She wore a wide-sleeved brocade gown with flowers and a jade belt around her waist with a fragrant tassel wrapped around it.

Su Wan's mother Gui Niang tied the sachet on the scented tassel with tears in her eyes, which represented her parents' request that she should always remember her in the future.

When the ceremony was over, the sound of drums and music arrived outside the door, and the joyful sounds of gongs and drums could be heard from several streets away.

The wedding procession has arrived.

Normally, the girl's father or brother should greet her at the door, and after performing three bows and three farewell rituals, she can enter.

But Su Wan only had her mother here, and because the person coming to welcome the bride was the emperor, the Ministry of Rites skipped this step and just waited for the bride to get in the car.

When His Majesty gets married, few people will block the door. After all, anyone in the world who dares to joke with His Majesty is now preparing for the wedding.

Su Wan took the ceremonial fan and was surrounded by female officials and others as she went out, but she looked back at her mother when she left.

Gui Niang's eyes were filled with tears, and she seemed to see her mother in her previous life.

"Go ahead, your majesty is waiting."

Su Wan lowered her head and looked at the room prepared for her wedding. Although she had not lived here for a long time, she rarely came back after going out.

The head of the Imperial Food Department comforted him softly, "Let's go. There will be better days in the future."

The commander had not been happy about Su Wan marrying His Majesty before, as he thought the little maid she liked would become an ordinary concubine.

But now I don’t think so. Lovers will eventually get married, let alone the relationship between Your Majesty and Su Wan, what is there to say about it.

Su Wan also looked at her superior, who was more like a master to her.

It was because the officer was protecting a group of palace maids that she came up with the bolder idea. Su Wan bowed slightly to her mother and the officer.

Both of them had tears in their eyes.

Once she steps out of this door, Wanwan is really going to get married.

Xie Pei was standing outside the door, feeling extremely impatient, until that familiar and desired figure appeared in his sight.

Wanwan is particularly different today, probably because she is finally getting married, so she is even more different.

When the two stood side by side, even though there was a ceremonial fan between them, they could both see that the other's expressions were different.

After a long time, Xie Pei said, "Let's go home."

Su Wan wanted to laugh, but felt that it would be inappropriate to laugh at this time.

Why are you going home?

Xie Pei directly picked up Su Wan horizontally, which caused everyone to exclaim. Then they saw His Majesty directly carrying the Queen to the first carriage.

The two of them rode back to the palace in the same car?

Are you all sitting in the first car?

Everyone in the Ministry of Rites looked at each other in surprise. Fortunately, they had thought about this before, so they were only surprised for a moment, and then performed the ceremony according to the procedure.

It is difficult to guess what His Majesty is thinking, but when it comes to matters concerning the Empress, every guess is accurate.

When Su Wan was picked up, she subconsciously grabbed Xie Pei's sleeve, and the fan was slightly tilted.

What are you doing???

However, the booing of the people around her made her feel for the first time that she should have used a veil earlier. It was too difficult to hide her expression with a fan!

The two got on the carriage. Xie Pei put one arm around Su Wan and with the other hand held the golden whip and symbolically drove the carriage three times, meaning that the carriage to pick up the bride was started by the groom.

Three whip sounds were heard here, and the ceremonial music started again. Under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, firecrackers blasted all the way, and it was obviously more lively than when they came here.

What followed were the sacrifices at the Taimiao, the grand ceremonies, etc. Su Wan felt like a puppet, and she just had to do whatever the ceremonial officer said.

There are also things like eating from the same pot, drinking from the same cup, etc.

It means eating the first meal together, which represents that they are a family. Each kind of food served must be eaten three times, which means that they are full and the dining ceremony is completed.

Rice, broth, and a little sauce

This is basically the most food Su Wan has eaten today. Getting married is so tiring!

Then they have to drink wine three times, the first two times using a jug and the last time using a gourd split in half to make a ladle. This is called drinking from the wedding banquet.

By this point in the etiquette, it was basically late at night.

The moon was high in the sky outside, the lights were on inside the house, and the voice of the ceremonial officer gradually became blurred.

Xie Pei reacted first and subconsciously held Su Wan's slender waist, allowing her to barely stand.

You’ve thought of all the etiquette, but how could you forget Su Wan’s alcohol tolerance?

The previous fruit wine was enough to intoxicate me, let alone these three glasses of wine. It was also his fault for not reminding me. I should have changed to the lightest wine.

But think about Su Wan's alcohol tolerance, she can make people drunk no matter what.

Fortunately, the officials, ceremonial officers and others gradually left, and the palace servants also quietly withdrew.

The palace maids had already made the bed, which was filled with peanuts, longans, red dates and other things. Xie Pei didn't keep a close eye on the person he was hugging and almost lay down on it.

Thinking about Wanwan's skin that would leave red marks if touched slightly, if I lay down directly on it, it would definitely be covered in bruises tomorrow.

After the bedroom door was completely closed, Xie Pei hugged Su Wan and helped her clear out the bedding for her to lie down on. However, Su Wan hooked her arms around Xie Pei's neck, and both of them fell into the soft red quilt.

Xie Pei's hand touched the sash tied around Su Wan's waist and gently took it off. The drunk person seemed unaware of it and even rubbed his cheek affectionately.

Xie Pei's eyes were deep. He finally married Su Wan.

Finally got married.

The moonlight is like water and the sky is full of stars.

The crimson color fluctuated on the two of them.

The night is neither long nor long.

The sweet dream was very short, so short that Su Wan could only beg for mercy quietly, asking her to sleep for a while, just for a while.
