The Fourth Prince has been weak and sickly since childhood and prefers a quiet nature. It is a rare opportunity for him to come to Prince Chen's Mansion to drink a glass of wedding wine today, and it is impossible for him to be a best man.
The fifth prince, Gu Jian, is as his name suggests, with a stingy nature and a fondness for money. His dream is to expand his business across the Tianyuan Kingdom.
He was the first one to pay attention to Princess Chen. When he learned that his future aunt was actually a super wealthy woman, he made up his mind to show his courtesy to her.
Maybe if the young aunt is happy, she will give him some rare treasures. He didn't dare to hope for the pearls in the dragon tortoise shell, the pearls the size of lychees, or the piggy bank inlaid with jade gems.
The Sixth Prince Gu Weina is a little fat boy and a big foodie, the one Shen Yizi met in the Penglai Secret Realm before.
But he didn't know yet that the woman who was about to become his aunt was the Sister Shen he had always been thinking about.
Among the four princes' bridesmaids who came, two of them knew Shen Yizhizi, so it could be said that they had a great connection.
As soon as Gu Xueting got off his horse, the servant in front of the Shen Mansion immediately lit the prepared firecrackers.
Amid the crackling sound of firecrackers, Gu Xueting stepped over the threshold with a smile on his face.
The princes following behind him looked around curiously.
Speaking of which, this is the first time they have stepped into the former National Master’s Mansion.
The reason why they rushed to serve as bridesmaids was that they wanted to see the former national master's mansion.
The Imperial Master's Mansion used to be mysterious and unfathomable in their eyes, but now it has become their young aunt's home, which cannot but surprise them.
Zhang Lingche was waiting for Gu Xueting in the front hall. When he saw him come in, he smiled and pointed to a small transparent bottle on the table that was as high as a palm.
"Your Highness, it's not that easy to take the bride away. For the first step, please drink up the wine in the bottle."
Others didn't know, but didn't Gu Xueting know? That bottle was clearly Qing Bao's Heaven-Swallowing Bottle.
Although it looks small, the space inside is as big as a room.
But from the outside, it looked like it was filled with wine.
It was expected that the wine was definitely not ordinary wine. If he really drank the whole bottle, he might not be able to leave today.
But before he could speak, the second prince Gu Kai stepped forward first. He waved his fan and said, "It's just a bottle of wine. I'll do it."
He can drink a lot, so how can a small bottle of wine be difficult for him? Of course, he is not stupid. Since Zhang Lingche can use this bottle of wine as the first test for his uncle, it means that this wine must be extraordinary.
But no matter how special it is, it is still wine. He is not afraid of wine! Not to mention such a small bottle, even if it is a big bucket, he will not be afraid!
Poor Gu Kai, how could he know that the small bottle was actually the Heaven-Swallowing Bottle which had a space as big as an entire room!
Even if he drank himself to death, he couldn't drink all the wine in it.
As he walked over, Gu Xueting patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take it easy."
Gu Kai raised his eyebrows: "Uncle, just look at me."
Zhang Lingche didn't say anything either, just smiled and looked at them.
Gu Kai picked up the bottle and drank it in a big gulp.
He wiped his mouth and looked at the bottle. Huh? Was it his illusion? Why did he feel that the amount of wine in the bottle had not decreased at all?
He took another big gulp and found that there was still not a drop of wine left in the bottle!
This is totally unscientific!
He just doesn't believe it!
Gu Kai drank madly. After a while, he burped. He was drunk and his face was red.
I held the bottle of wine in front of me, but I couldn't see anything clearly.
He staggered and was about to fall.
Gu Heng quickly supported him.
The bottle of wine fell into Zhang Lingche's hands. He shook it and looked at the bottle that was only slightly thinner. "It seems that the Third Prince is not good enough. Who will come next?"
By this time, the other princes also realized that the bottle containing wine was not simple.
Gu Heng put Gu Kai on the chair and said in a deep voice, "I'll do it."
In the end, several princes took turns to go on stage, but they were unable to drink up the wine in the bottle, so Gu Xueting had to go on stage alone.
Of course, it was impossible for him to really drink the wine. He just pretended to drink it. In fact, the moment the wine entered his mouth, he transferred it into the chaotic space.
Zhang Lingche glanced at him with a half-smile, but said nothing about his blatant cheating.
To put it bluntly, the tests during the bride-picking process are just to add some fun to the wedding and are not really meant to embarrass the groom.
Gu Xueting continued to walk towards the backyard where Shen Yizhizi was.
The number of bridesmaids following him was reduced from four to one.
Except for Gu Heng, the other three were all drunk.
He was being fed sobering soup by the maid in the front hall.
The test of the second level was beyond Gu Xueting's expectations.
"Sing a love song?" He repeated Zhang Lingche's request with some surprise.
Zhang Lingche nodded: "That's right." He took out the photo stone in front of Gu Xueting and prepared to record the video.
Gu Xueting held his forehead with his hand, it was obvious that this was the idea that Zhizhi came up with.
To be honest, it was a bit difficult for Gu Xueting to sing a love song in public. But when he thought about singing for his Zhizhi, he had no worries.
He even aimed at the photo stone, trying to get it to better record his singing posture.
After all, Zhizhi has to be seen.
After singing a love song, Zhang Lingche led them through the central hall and came to the outside of Shen Yizi's yard.
There was a flowerpot at the gate of the yard, and there was nothing in the pot.
Gu Xueting was puzzled. What was the test this time? Zhang Lingche revealed the answer: "Drop a drop of blood into the basin."
Gu Xueting did not hesitate and did as he was told.
Just as his blood dripped into the soil in the flowerpot, a tender green seedling broke through the soil, and sprouted branches and leaves at an extremely fast speed, until it grew to the height of a person, and then produced flower buds, which bloomed in the blink of an eye.
All this was completed in just a few moments, it was so fast that it was amazing.
The flowers are bright red, a pure and warm red, beautiful to the point of being enchanting.
Zhang Lingche folded his arms and said, "This flower is called the Imperial Daughter Flower, and it blooms only for lovers. This is my test for you, and it is also a wedding gift for you and Xiao Zhiliao. Okay, you can go in now."
Gu Xueting looked at the breathtakingly beautiful Imperial Flower, thanked him, picked up the flower and gave it to Gu Heng to hold.
From then on, this was his favorite flower.
In the room, Shen Yizhi received a message from Zhang Lingche, and quickly cleaned up the table with Han Baoluo, covered his head with a veil, and sat on the bed properly.
When Gu Xueting stepped in, what he saw was his bride sitting upright on the wedding bed, quietly waiting for him.
