After Qi Yuning returned to the palace, he immediately asked Chunfen to invite a matchmaker and inquired about the marriage arrangements.
She almost married Lu Yun half a year ago, so she had some knowledge of the wedding etiquette. After asking, she learned that the etiquette for welcoming the bride was more complicated than that for getting married.
The most urgent thing was A Ping's new wedding dress. Qi Yuning found the most outstanding tailor in Yunyi Pavilion to sew a wedding dress for A Ping for the big ceremony. As for Qi Yu'an's dress, Qi Yuning felt that it didn't matter if it was a little less exquisite, as long as the bride looked good.
After a busy afternoon, Qi Yuning was still planning a wedding banquet. Time was tight and many of the Qi family's old subordinates in North City could not make it.
Qi Yuning thought it would be better to let Qi Yuan and A Ping go to Beicheng to hold another wedding banquet.
At night.
Lu Ze had just returned from the Dali Temple. The fact that he had taken two days off had resulted in a lot of work being piled up in the Dali Temple today. He was busy until dark, and there was still a lot of work left to do.
Lingling saw Lu Ze enter the room and walked up to him and said, "Daddy, my uncle and aunt are getting married!"
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning who was busy at the side in surprise.
After Qi Yuning had instructed the maidservant on all matters, she wrote down on a piece of paper who was responsible for what, and then looked carefully to see if there was anything she had missed.
After all, this is the biggest happy event in the Qi Mansion in the past fourteen years.
"Your Majesty actually agreed to grant Ah Ping the title of Princess Qi?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Yes."
Lu Ze said, "I heard His Majesty mention this morning that Ping is of low status. How could she agree to it?"
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "I mentioned that although Ah Ping's status was low, it would be great if His Majesty would recognize Ah Ping as his adopted daughter. I just said it casually, but I didn't expect His Majesty to actually agree."
Lu Ze asked, "Your Majesty has adopted Ah Ping as your adopted daughter?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Your Majesty agreed without much thought. This is even better. Ah Ping is his daughter, but now that Ah Ping is pregnant, it is not appropriate to use her body to take risks and expose the Crown Prince.
Being able to marry as His Majesty's daughter is what Ah Ping deserves. No, now she shouldn't be called Ah Ping, but Princess Nianxia."
"Princess Nianxia..." Lu Ze said slowly, "The name Nianxia seems familiar."
Qi Yuning said, "It's a good thing that Your Majesty has agreed. This way, Cousin Lingling will be the legitimate eldest son of our Qi family. The wedding will be set for ten days from now. I will definitely be very busy these days, and you will be busy too. Lingling can only trouble the princess to help take care of him."
"My mother couldn't ask for more," Lu Ze said. "But is there enough time to prepare for the wedding in ten days?"
Qi Yuning said: "There's still time. My maids are all capable."
Lu Ze said, "If you need any help from my mother, feel free to ask her. After all, she just arranged Yun'er's wedding."
Qi Yuning nodded lightly and said, "Yes."
…
After a few busy days, Qi Yuning managed to stay calm with the help of Princess Pingrou.
On the evening of February 11, Qi Yuning counted the tea, wine, wedding cakes, and other necessary dishes for the wedding banquet. However, he was still worried, so he found a matchmaker and two matchmakers to confirm the procedures for Qi Yuan and A Ping.
Wait until 15:30 pm.
Qi Yuning had already lain down, but then he stood up again, walked to the window and looked at the starry sky. It should be a sunny day tomorrow.
Lu Ze walked over to Qi Yuning and said, "You should go to sleep quickly. You'll be busy tomorrow morning."
Qi Yuning said: "I can't sleep."
Qi Yuning looked up at the half-moon in the sky and said, "My parents will be able to see it from heaven, right?"
Qi Yuning lowered his head again and said, "When other families pay respects to their parents, their parents are all there, filled with joy. In our Qi family, there are only tablets for our ancestors..."
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning in his arms and said, "General Qi and General Liu will be happy to see their children marrying happily. Go to sleep."
Qi Yuning returned to the bedside. She really couldn't sleep. Lingling, who was beside her, rubbed her eyes and woke up. Lingling ran into Qi Yuning's arms, half crying.
"Mom and Dad! Dad and Mom can't find Lingling."
"Wow, wow, mother is crying so sadly."
Qi Yuning touched Lingling's head and said, "Lingling, did you have a nightmare? You are in your mother's arms. Mother will not let you get lost."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "By the way, there will be a lot of people in Prince Qi's mansion tomorrow, and I have to be busy entertaining guests. I'll leave Lingling to you."
Qi Yuning whispered to Lingling, "Don't leave Daddy for a moment tomorrow."
Lu Ze responded, "Yeah."
Since Lingling had this nightmare, Lu Ze would definitely accompany her well.
Qi Yuning didn't sleep well all night. When the auspicious time of Mao arrived, he had to go and announce the Qi family's great joy to his ancestors and worship various Bodhisattvas. Fireworks bloomed in the sky above the Qi Palace early in the morning.
Lingling woke up early today, a rare occasion. Lu Ze held her in his arms and said, "Huahua, Fireworks."
Qi Yuning said to Lingling, "Lingling, come to the Eight Immortals Table and pay respect to the ancestors of the Qi family."
Lingling got down from Lu Ze's arms, walked to the eight-immortal table, clasped her hands together and bowed respectfully, saying, "Grandpa and grandma, please come and enjoy the wedding feast of my uncle and aunt."
Qi Yuning listened to Lingling's words and patted Lingling's little head, "You're so good."
Qi Yu'an listened to Lingling's words and looked at the candle burning in the dark night, which seemed to be a little brighter.
After everyone finished their worship, the ritual and music troupe from the Jiaofang came in.
Although A Ping was in the Qi family, she was not exempt from the custom of picking up the bride. It was a big event for Prince Qi to marry a concubine, so he had to go around Shengjing City.
