Chapter 122: Thousand Days of Good Luck

"Idiot!" Fang Qingyao patted his brother's head, "My stepfather must be a good man, otherwise mother wouldn't marry him!"

Fang Qianxue was embarrassed: "Stop bothering the prince, go out and eat, or else the delicious food will be eaten by others."

Fang Qingyao jumped off her knees, pulled her brother and suddenly knelt down towards Fang Qianxue and Xiao Mingzhe.

"Yao'er!" Fang Qianxue was a little surprised and half stood up. "What are you doing?"

"Yao'er and Yuan'er congratulate mother and stepfather, and wish them a happy future with many children and grandchildren!" The two kids had obviously practiced for a long time. Fang Qingyao spoke more fluently while Fang Qingyuan spoke a little haltingly, but at least he kowtowed twice in a serious manner.

Xiao Mingzhe looked at Fang Qianxue meaningfully, his eyes filled with emotion and a little nervousness. He touched his waist twice and picked out two jade pendants of the best quality to give to the two of them.

"Ahem! A greeting gift for you."

The two children looked at Fang Qianxue and didn't dare to accept it.

Fang Qianxue said: "It's given by your stepfather, so just keep it."

"Thank you, Dad!" The two little kids took the gifts and ran out the door.

In the house.

Xiao Mingzhe's face was almost as red as Fang Qianxue's veil: "Didn't we agree that it was just fake? Why did you let two children perform such a big ceremony?"

Fang Qianxue knew that he had misunderstood, and waved her hands hastily: "I didn't ask them to prepare it, they learned it from somewhere on their own. Sorry for costing you money."

The two jade pendants were obviously worth a lot of money. Xiao Mingzhe didn't have any red envelopes prepared, so he just gave one jade pendant to each of them.

Fang Qianxue couldn't help but sigh when she recalled the cake boxes, hats, socks and other things that Lu Changqing had given to her two children on their birthdays.

I didn’t think so before, but now I feel that although Lu Changqing looks elegant and graceful, he is actually a very undignified person.

On the contrary, although the King of Beining appears to be as cold as a big black stone, he is actually quite particular. At least he has some dignity. Although he had no preparation, he knew to give a gift after the two children kowtowed to him.

"Will they be afraid of me?" Xiao Mingzhe asked.

"If you feel embarrassed, you can see them less often in the future. I will ask them to come to the main courtyard less often." Fang Qianxue said.

The King of Beining seemed a bit aloof, while Fang Qingyao and Fang Qingyuan were both people-loving. Who knows what would happen if they met.

"That's not what I meant." Xiao Mingzhe looked at her heavily made-up face, a little dazed for a moment, "The two children are quite cute. I'm just afraid that they will hate me."

"That won't happen," Fang Qianxue knew her kids well, "They're not even afraid of Qilin, they ride it all over the house."

"The auspicious time is almost here," Xiao Mingzhe clasped her shoulders with both hands, as if he wanted to touch her face, but then he slowly closed her veil, "I'll go out and toast first, you stay for a while."

"good."

After the wedding ceremony, Fang Qianxue was sent to the dormitory early.

Because they had been told in advance that all the formalities would be kept simple, the two matchmakers did not arrange any extra activities for her. They just asked Cuishuang to bring in dinner and asked her to eat some first.

"The prince is toasting outside. There are many guests today, so he probably won't be back before 11:00 p.m. Princess, you should eat something to fill your stomach first." A matchmaker began to make the bed.

Fang Qianxue was indeed hungry, and asked while eating, "Where are Yao'er and Yuan'er?"

Cui Shuang served her food while answering, "He's playing with lanterns outside."

"Let them go back to their rooms and rest early. They have been running around all day."

"That's probably not possible," Sui Qiong said with a smile, "The prince said he has prepared fireworks, and will lead them to set off the fireworks later, and then go back to the room to sleep after the fireworks are set off."

"Fireworks?" Fang Qianxue was surprised. "Where did they come from?"

It’s not Chinese New Year, I’ve never heard of people setting off fireworks at weddings.

"I heard that it was brought by Shopkeeper Wen from Jinxiuzhai," Suiqiong said, "The prince had already spread the news that there would be fireworks tonight, and now the children near Rong'anfang are waiting at the gate of our palace to watch the fireworks."

"..." Fang Qianxue shook her head and looked at the other couch in the bedroom. It was prepared for Xiao Mingzhe. There was a bamboo curtain between the two couches. "Okay, I'm tired, but he's not."

Fang Qianxue had just finished her meal when she saw a figure wandering outside the window.

The figure looked like a girl.

"Mrs. Yang?" She waved at Cui Shuang and said, "Go ask Mrs. Yang what's the matter?"

"Yes!" Cui Shuang rolled up her sleeves and prepared to go out and scold her.

The prince and princess are getting married, why is she wandering outside the bedroom?

Soon, there were several voices of women talking outside the door, and then Cui Shuang came in and said, "Princess, Yang said she has something for you."

"What is it?" Fang Qianxue took it curiously and saw that it was a light pink sachet.

I put it close to my nose and sniffed it, but I didn't feel anything special, just a faint fragrance.

"It's this sachet," Cui Shuang said, "she said she made it herself and asked the princess to hang it on the bedside to ensure harmony between husband and wife. In my opinion, she doesn't look like a good person. This thing is most likely problematic and cannot be kept."

Fang Qianxue held the sachet in her hand and frowned.

She didn't know much about pharmacology, so it would be a problem if Yang wanted to harm her, but if she didn't hang him up, it would seem a bit unfair to Yang's kindness.

"I know pharmacology, let me take a look!" The matchmaker who was making the bed suddenly ran over and said, "Princess, the prince said that everything in this bedroom must be checked by me before it can be put in!"

"Then... just take a look." Fang Qianxue nodded.

These two matchmakers were hired by Xiao Mingzhe. No one knows what their specific abilities are, but they are very skillful and look like they have some kung fu skills.

"Yes!" The matchmaker took the sachet and put it next to her nose and sniffed it. "It's not poisonous, just an ordinary floral and fruity scent, but it seems a little..."

"What is it?" Cui Shuang shouted, "If Yang dares to betray her master, I will immediately ask General Qiu to drag her out and kill her!"

The matchmaker glanced at Fang Qianxue awkwardly, then looked at Cuishuang and said, "There is a kind of medicine here called Qianrihao."

"A thousand days of recovery?" Fang Qianxue wondered. Even though she was knowledgeable, she had never heard of such a medicine.

"It's a kind of aphrodisiac, but it's not strong. Compared to the kind that makes people unable to control themselves after just one sniff, this kind of aphrodisiac can 'moisten things silently', and the effect is long-lasting," the matchmaker replied. "People who are poisoned by the Thousand Days Good will have a strong attachment to the person they first consummated their marriage with. No matter who they choose to be with in the future, they will feel uncomfortable all over. Therefore, this kind of medicine is generally used by Taoists to form couples, and it can achieve the effect of permanently binding men and women."

"..." Fang Qianxue asked in a trembling voice, "So does she want to help me or harm me?"

"I don't know about this." The matchmaker said, "But this is a good medicine, it won't hurt your body, and it may be useful for the prince's illness. Does the princess want to keep it?"

"No need for that," Fang Qianxue broke out in a cold sweat, "Put it at the bottom of the box, don't let anyone find it."

It would be terrible if Xiao Mingzhe found out and thought it was her who did it!
