Chapter 280 Wedding

After a moment's hesitation, Marquis Cheng'en said, "It can be set up at Ruyi Bridge, but the explosives must be laid under the bridge at the last moment."

Ruyi Bridge spans the inland river, which is extremely busy with ships coming and going during the day.

Ji Changqing did not order the ships to be prohibited from passing through Ruyi Bridge when the wedding procession passed by. They could hide the explosives in the boats, moor them near the bridge, and then move them to the bottom of the bridge when the wedding procession approached.

In this way, even if Ji Changqing had someone inspect Ruyi Bridge in advance, he would not be able to find the explosives.

After listening to his thoughts, Luo Rongkai nodded and said, "Dad is more thoughtful."

Then he began to make arrangements.

Feng Qingsui was busy with the cowpox vaccination and didn't stop until the day before the wedding.

Princess Shouyang, Lady Shen, the eldest lady of the Shangguo Mansion, Qi Yuzhen, Qiao Zhenzhen... came to her house one after another to add to her makeup.

The gifts were all head ornaments, boudoir supplies, stationery and other elegant items.

There are exceptions.

"I found this in the inner storehouse."

On the wedding day, Diwu Qingqing came to the clan residence to pick her up and handed her a picture album.

"The painting skills are not bad."

Feng Qingsui unfolded it and saw that it was a map for avoiding fire.

I couldn't help but open my eyes wide.

“There are so many tricks.”

The fifth one smiled softly and said, "Not all tricks can be used. Be careful to identify them and don't hurt yourself."

Feng Qingsui nodded obediently: "Okay."

Diwu Qingqing looked at her dressed up and couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you have grown from a little girl to a big girl."

"Master, it's just the opposite." Feng Qingsui said with a smile, "The older you get, the younger you get."

"You're just sweet-talking." Diwu glared at her. "You don't even notice my white hair and wrinkles."

Feng Qingsui looked left and right.

"Where?"

Diwu Qingqing said with a smile: "Okay, stop playing tricks here, the groom is here, it's time to go out."

Feng Qingsui covered herself with the red veil reluctantly.

She stuffed the scroll of fire avoidance map into her sleeve pocket, intending to use it to kill time while riding in the sedan chair.

Amid the sound of firecrackers, eight strong sedan bearers lifted the sedan and left the clan residence.

Ji Changqing wore a ceremonial crown with flowers on his head, a round-necked wedding gown with cloud pattern and gold weaving, and a white jade belt around his waist. He sat on a tall horse with a dignified manner and walked in front of the sedan chair.

His handsome face and graceful figure stunned all the young girls and wives on the street.

"If my husband were even a fraction as good-looking as the Prince Regent, even if he was lazy and ate all day, I wouldn't scold him."

"When looking for a husband, you should look for a good-looking one. Although good looks can't be eaten, they can make people eat two more bowls of rice!"

"Feng Sicheng is also good-looking, and a perfect match for the Regent!"

Ji Changqing's mind was full of the image of Feng Qingsui wearing a red wedding dress that he had just seen. He couldn't wait to lift the red veil to see what she looked like.

I couldn't help but squeeze the horse's belly and urge it to move forward faster.

The wedding procession walked along Fushou Road, turned into Ronglu Road, turned to Wanshou Road, and stepped into Ping'an Road... Ji Changqing felt a little regretful.

If I had known this journey would be so painful, I wouldn’t have taken such a long detour.

Yan Chi suddenly walked to the side of the horse and handed it a note.

After reading it, Ji Changqing's face turned slightly cold.

"Since they are tired of living, I will grant them their wish."

He leaned over and gave a few instructions.

Yan Chi took the order and left.

The wedding procession walked towards Ruyi Bridge.

In the Ji Mansion, Marquis Cheng'en, who was attending the banquet, was looking forward to it like other guests.

But while the other guests were looking forward to the arrival of the wedding procession, he was looking forward to the procession returning home.

He had two boatloads of explosives transported to the bottom of Ruyi Bridge, enough to blow the bridge and the wedding procession on it to pieces.

Once the regent Ji Changqing dies, the government will be in chaos.

The Empress Dowager can come out to take charge of the situation.

The court will be controlled by the Luo family.

In time, the dragon throne will eventually be renamed Luo's.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he had to pinch himself to calm himself down.

“Here it comes!”

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

Before he finished speaking, the sound of joy floated into the banquet hall.

Marquis Cheng'en's expression froze.

The wedding procession is back?

How is this possible!

However, no matter how much he disbelieved it, Ji Changqing still took the bride to the table of heaven and earth.

"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"

"Bow to your parents twice!"

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

"Send her to the bridal chamber!"

After the two newlyweds left, the guests talked heatedly, and the whole room was filled with auspicious words such as "a perfect match made in heaven" and "a marriage sent by heaven".

Marquis Cheng'en was on pins and needles.

Ji Changqing was unharmed. Was it because of his superb skills that he managed to fly away from Ruyi Bridge at the critical moment, or was it because his men rescued him in time and saved his life?

But the bride was fine. Could it be that they still had time to protect the sedan chair?

Could it be that the fuse was not lit?

Luo Rongkai, who was sitting next to him, was also feeling uneasy.

"Dad, I'm going to see what's going on."

Just as Marquis Cheng'en was about to nod, a tall and thin figure suddenly walked towards him and his son.

"Lord Luo, Prince Luo, your mansion is on fire."

The Marquis' Mansion is on fire?!

Marquis Cheng'en was stunned: "When did the fire start? Has it been put out?"

Zhuying shook her head. "It's just started, and it hasn't been put out yet. It seems to have started from the ancestral hall. The East City Military Commission is about to send people to put out the fire."

Marquis Cheng'en and Luo Rongkai's expressions changed drastically.

There is a batch of explosives hidden under their ancestral hall!

The father and son immediately ignored everything else and said, "Let's go back home first" and ran towards the exit of the banquet hall.

In the bridal chamber, Ji Changqing lifted the red veil with a gold-inlaid jade ruyi, and the delicate face came into view. His breathing stopped, and he even forgot to put down the ruyi in his hand.

Feng Qingsui admired his handsome face for a while, then asked with a smile, "Don't you want to drink the wedding wine?"

Ji Changqing came to his senses, quickly put down Ruyi and went to pour wine.

If you are not careful, it will overflow.

Feng Qingsui teased: "You're already drunk before you even start drinking. How are you going to deal with the guests later?"

Ji Zhangqing lowered his eyes: "My elder brother doesn't drink alcohol."

Feng Qingsui: “…”

"You've really taken advantage of your brother. He even blocked your drinking when he wasn't around."

Ji Changqing smiled slightly.

Feng Qingsui glanced at him and said, "Don't drink the wedding wine, or else people might smell the alcohol and expose you."

Ji Changqing: “…”

He picked up the wine glass and said expressionlessly: "I can rinse my mouth after drinking it."

After the two of them drank the wedding wine, Ji Changqing really rinsed his mouth before going to the banquet. Before leaving the bridal chamber, he asked someone to bring over some wontons.

"I made this before I went out to meet my bride."

Feng Qingsui: “…”

What a busy groom.

She had been busy all day and couldn't eat any meat or fish, so she just wanted to eat something light.

After enjoying the wontons, she rinsed her mouth and sat on the bed bored, looking through the fire avoidance map.

Because I got up early and didn’t take a lunch break, I started to feel sleepy while waiting.

He leaned against the folded quilt and took a nap.

When Ji Changqing returned to her room, he saw that she had fallen asleep with her hair in a bun. He tiptoed to the bedside and took off the hairpins on her head.

Feng Qingsui woke up just after he finished picking the fruits.

The two looked at each other.

Breathing can be heard.

Ji Changqing was silent for a moment, then leaned over and kissed the cherry lips he had been thinking about day and night.
