Xie Qing had people prepare a lot of copper coins and purses filled with silver grains and candies. As soon as he left the palace, he scattered and threw them at everyone he saw.
"Congratulations, His Royal Highness!"
"The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess will live happily ever after!"
"Have a baby soon!"
"reward!"
When Xie Qing heard this, he smiled brightly, not caring at all about his status and dignity as a prince. He pulled a bag from his feet, grabbed a handful of purses and threw them out.
As a result, more and more people spoke nice words, and Xie Qing didn't know how much money he had spent.
The procession was moving slower and slower, and the ceremonial officer was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "Your Highness! If you don't go to the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion now, you will miss the auspicious time!"
Xie Qing just withdrew with a feeling of being unsatisfied and went to the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion.
Even though the ceremonial officer urged repeatedly, there were many people watching the prince's wedding along the way, and many people stopped him to ask for wedding money. As a result, the wedding was a little later than the scheduled time.
Qin Zhan stood at the gate and snorted coldly when he saw Xie Qing coming: "You came so late on purpose, don't you want us to embarrass you?"
Xie Qing bowed quickly and said, "Grandfather, I was too happy and walked around the city twice too long. Please forgive me."
Qin Zhan smiled and pretended to be angry and said, "Humph! You're late for the wedding, so you're not sincere."
Xie Qing quickly pointed to the heavens and swore, "My feelings for Wan'er are witnessed by the heavens and earth, and can be expressed by the sun and moon. I was eager to let everyone know that I was getting married. Therefore, I was a little too happy, took a long detour, and was late. Please don't blame me, grandfather."
Qin Zhan seemed to have just noticed his address. He waved his hands repeatedly and said righteously, "No, we haven't even started greeting yet. You should just call me Marquis Qin. Calling me grandfather is a bit too early."
"It's not early yet!"
"Yeah, the wedding has already started, so you can change your tune!"
The relatives and friends attending the wedding all started to cheer.
Xie Qing said without any shame: "Isn't this my first time getting married and I have no experience? Who has more experience than you guys?"
Prince Du on the side winked and said, "Although I haven't married yet, I have more experience than you. Do you want me to teach you a few tricks?"
"Get lost." Xie Qing kicked him, scolded him with a smile, and said to Qin Zhan, "Grandfather, please open the door and let me in."
Qin Zhan looked at the time and stopped making things difficult for him. He turned sideways and said, "Go in."
Xie Qing stepped over the threshold and breathed a sigh of relief. He had passed this first hurdle.
The second level was a group of little idiots led by Qin Can's son Qin Chengming. They held spears and set up a formation in the yard.
Qin Can handed over a long stick and said, "Your Highness, this is the second level."
Xie Qing looked at this group of children, all of whom were about ten years old, both boys and girls. Despite their young age, they were all very heroic.
He hesitated slightly: "They are still children. What if I accidentally hurt them?"
Qin Chengming looked up at Xie Qing and smiled confidently: "My Qin family descendants are not that fragile. Uncle Crown Prince, just come at me!"
Prince Du took the lead and reached out to take the long stick: "Your Highness is the groom today, it would be bad if his clothes got dirty. Let me try first. If I can't get through, then let Your Highness take over."
Qin Can did not object. He just looked at Master Du with a smile, then took two steps back.
Prince Du looked at the group of little kids who were not even as tall as his chest and laughed heartily: "Don't cry if you lose later."
Qin Chengming shook his spear and thrust it at Master Du: "Uncle Du, don't cry if you lose!"
Prince Du didn't take Qin Chengming seriously at all. No matter how powerful he was, he was just a child.
He stretched out his long stick and when the two touched, there was a dull thud, which made Prince Du's palms numb.
Prince Du immediately became serious, but he still left some room for Qin Chengming to attack. As a result, Qin Chengming did not make another move. He saw a different person in front of him.
Prince Du took a step forward, and suddenly his eyes blurred. The battle formation changed, and several people attacked him at once...
In less than a cup of tea, Prince Du was defeated, breathless. He looked at these little idiots in shock: "The Xuanwu Marquis Mansion is indeed worthy of its reputation!"
The clan members and officials from various departments who came to welcome the bride were also stunned. There was a reason why the Qin family had been so prosperous!
Even though they have been dormant these years, they have never neglected the education of their children!
Look at these children, both boys and girls, they are the hope of the Qin family's future!
Prince Du threw the long stick to Xie Qing: "Your Highness, it's your turn."
Xie Qing held a long stick in his hand and looked at the children who were not even sweating. These children had a very methodical way of advancing and retreating. He could not rush in rashly, otherwise even if he could win, he would look a little embarrassed.
It would be ugly if the groom looked disheveled on such a happy day.
Fortunately, Master Du had just intervened, allowing him to see some of the tricks.
Xie Qing said confidently, "Come on! Show your skills."
Qin Chengming curled his lips into a smile and gestured to his brothers and sisters. He attacked Xie Qing first, with a long spear in his hand dancing like a flower.
Xie Qing suddenly felt dazzled. To be cautious, he took a half step back and only went forward to meet Qin Chengming when he got close.
Qin Chengming still left as soon as he was touched, and took Xie Qingshen into the formation. He immediately withdrew after completing his mission and stood with his brothers and sisters.
Several people skillfully changed the formation, you advance and I retreat, you retreat and I advance.
Xie Qingben was full of confidence, but he didn't expect these kids to play by their own rules. They changed several formations in just a few moves.
Xie Qing didn't dare to really hurt anyone, but he also didn't want his clothes and hair to be messy at all, so he was a little caught off guard in his response.
After several attempts, Xie Qing found a flaw that allowed him to attack easily and gracefully without ruining his posture, and easily broke the formation.
Xie Qing looked at the group of breathless little radish heads and said with a pleased smile: "The Xuanwu Marquis Mansion has successors. Not bad, not bad."
The children clasped their fists and bowed to everyone, then left laughing.
Qin Can bowed to Xie Qing and said with a smile, "Prince, please!"
Xie Qing looked at the front hall. In the past, he would pay his respects to Qin Zhan here and then go to the backyard to find Qin Wan.
Now, he had to cross the front hall and go to the second courtyard. Only after passing this level would he be qualified to marry Qin Wan.
Xie Qing suddenly felt a surge of ambition and threw the long stick in his hand to Master Du, then strode through the front hall and came to the second courtyard.
The ones guarding here are Qin Yan and the other brothers of the Qin family.
Qin Yan saw Xie Qing, bowed, and said, "The second level is easy. Just shoot down the coin. Of course, you have to break the string. Shooting the coin directly to the ground doesn't count."
Xie Qing looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a copper coin hanging below the ridge beast on the corner of the room. When the breeze blew, the copper coin fluttered and the silk thread tied to it could be seen.
Prince Du took a deep breath and said, "It's so far away! You can't even hit the coin, and you want to shoot the string? Isn't this too difficult?"
Qin Yanlang laughed and said, "If you can make things difficult for someone, then that's what makes things difficult for others. Your Highness the Crown Prince is the son of a dragon, how can you say it's difficult for him?"
