Qing Dynasty Transmigration: Winning by Lying Down

Chapter 353 The Newlyweds

In the early years, not long after the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the Manchus were still figuring things out, and their etiquette and laws were not very complete.

Back then, things weren't so strictly regulated. The Shunzhi Emperor's generation had much more complete set of etiquette and laws, but he died before his son could get married.

Kangxi faced difficulties in getting married, and Guarjia's dowry was impressive, but who had the courage or the inclination to care about such things?

The dowries given to members of the imperial family when they marry off their daughters were nowhere near as lavish as those given to the future empress, which is why it caused such a sensation. It was simply because such dowries were rare or nonexistent in the past.

Qiu Wen's dowry was also quite good, but there were some restrictions. Even though Faka loved his daughter dearly, he knew his limits.

Therefore, Shi Zhenyun's dowry was still superior.

The dowry was delivered, and soon the auspicious day arrived, and Bobo and Shi Zhenyun got married.

On the day of the wedding, it's unclear whether the entire population of Beijing came, but the streets leading to the Forbidden City were packed with people.

Yinzhen is currently living in the Qianqing Palace. After thinking about it, he decided to clean up the Yangsheng Hall and let Bobo and his wife live there. He had considered building a residence outside the palace, but he felt it was unnecessary.

Bobo is the heir, and that's settled. Leaving the palace is definitely not as convenient as staying in the palace.

Besides, he plans to finalize Bobo's status soon. When An'an grows up, they will eventually get married, and An'an may not want to live in the palace then.

On the day of Bobo's wedding, he actually followed the rules of the Imperial Household Department. Although there were people to remind him of the procedures, the whole process was really tiring.

Needless to say, Shi Zhenyun was no exception. Although she didn't have to go out and show her face in public, she was wearing a ceremonial crown that weighed nearly ten kilograms, which was no less tiring than Bobo's.

After Shi Zhenyun entered the new house, Beibei was the first to come in.

"Greetings, sister-in-law."

Although Shi Zhenyun didn't see her, only Beibei could say these words.

"You're too kind, Princess. But what brings you here?"

Beibei laughed and joked, "You'll have to ask my brother. He said he was worried you might be bored, so he sent me over to keep you company."

Shi Zhenyun blushed under her red veil.

Beibei had someone prepare something and said, "Why don't you have something to eat first, sister-in-law? Someone will probably be here soon."

Although the royal family's rules are somewhat different, the bride still needs to be seen by others, and the imperial wives will be arriving soon.

Of course, not everyone is eligible.

Otherwise, the room wouldn't be able to fit so many people.

Bobo didn't come back very late, and not many people dared to force her to drink, so Bobo easily got away. Although she didn't drink much, she still had some, and because she was happy today, she was already a little tipsy when she got back to the new house.

After a series of formalities, the red veil was lifted, the wedding wine was drunk, and raw dumplings were eaten.

The new house has also become quiet.

This was actually Bobo's first time doing this, and he was a little nervous.

As for Bobo's feelings for Shi Zhenyun, he has a good impression of her, but it's not quite love. However, it's undeniable that Shi Zhenyun is special to Bobo.

"are you hungry?"

Shi Zhenyun said, "I'm not hungry. The princess just sent some food over."

Bobo knew that his sister probably couldn't think that far ahead; it was probably his mother's idea.

"Mother must have sent her. Since we're not hungry, let's wash up and get settled!"

Shi Zhenyun blushed as if she had thought of something, then nodded and said, "Okay."

After washing up, the two sat on the bed. In fact, Bobo had seen the fire avoidance diagram and so on, and Shi Zhenyun had also seen it. They both knew what was going to happen next, but neither of them knew how to bring it up.

Bobo, being a man, spoke first: "Why don't we make our arrangements?"

It means whoever thinks it is!

Shi Zhenyun lowered her head and hummed in agreement.

On their wedding night, the red candles naturally couldn't be extinguished; they could only be placed in the bed curtains. However, these bed curtains were made of light gauze, which was very thin, so the candlelight shone through the curtains. Although the curtains weren't particularly bright, everything that needed to be seen could be seen.

Shi Zhenyun is good-looking and has a good figure. It is said that a beautiful woman looks more beautiful under the light, but a beautiful woman under the dim candlelight is even more captivating.

Undeniably, the first time, Bobo got a little carried away. It wasn't that he didn't understand Shi Zhenyun, but in the end, neither of them could resist. The next day, Bobo still got up as usual, but Shi Zhenyun was really fast asleep.

Bobo called Xu Nian softly, and through the curtain, asked, "What time is it?"

Xu Nian gave her an hour's time, and Bobo thought to herself, "Luckily, I didn't oversleep."

Xu Nian then said, "Your Majesty, the Empress just sent someone to say that you and the Princess Consort are invited to have dinner together tonight and pay your respects."

Bobo blushed. He knew exactly why. His voice remained normal as he said, "Okay, you can go now!"

"Yes, Master."

Bobo knew his mother was telling the truth, and he also knew that his mother was understanding. Last night they had indeed gone a bit too far. Since it was still early, he decided to sleep a little longer.

So Bobo hugged his wife, closed his eyes, and fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, it was almost lunchtime.

He woke up with some noise, and Shi Zhenyun also woke up.

Shi Zhenyun looked outside and was startled to see that it was very bright outside. She wondered how long she had been asleep.
