It was a very cold night at the end of October. Qi Yuning tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep as she thought about getting married the next day.
Lingling whispered, "Mom, don't you want to sleep? Lingling will tell you a story, okay?"
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "Yes. Did Daddy and Mommy tell Lingling how they met?"
Qi Yuning was curious. If Lingling wasn't there, how could she and Lu Ze be together?
Lingling said: "Daddy said he knew Mom when she was just born!"
Qi Yuning smiled faintly. It was true that Lu Ze had known her when she was just born.
When she was young, Qi Yuning could never have imagined that she would marry Lu Ze when she grew up.
Lingling told Qi Yuning a story that was very fanciful and illogical.
Qi Yuning was really coaxed to sleep by Lingling, and fell asleep holding Lingling. At 3:00 pm, Qi Yuning was woken up by the maid, and she washed and put on makeup.
The blessed lady who came to comb Qi Yuning's hair was Mrs. Wang from the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion. Mrs. Wang was a rare blessed person in Shengjing City. Her parents-in-law, parents were still alive, she had both sons and daughters, and her husband and wife loved each other very much. Now her children had started their own families, and the prince's wife was pregnant.
Madam Wang praised Qi Yuning's appearance and said, "The princess is so beautiful, and Master Lu is really a blessed man."
Qi Yuning looked at herself in the bronze mirror, smiled gently, and let the maid comb her hair into a very delicate bun. She then put on a hair crown made of all gold. The phoenix eyes on the hair crown were transparent rubies.
The golden phoenix hairpins worn on both sides are also very exquisite.
After putting on the bright red wedding dress, it was already bright, the sun was rising, the sky was clear with blue sky and white clouds, it was a beautiful sunny day.
Qi Yuning didn't expect that it was almost Chen time without her noticing, which was also the auspicious time for her to go out.
Firecrackers rang out outside the door. After Lingling was awakened, she saw Qi Yuning in front of her and exclaimed, "Mom is so beautiful. Lingling likes mom so much."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "Mother likes Lingling very much, Lingling, go to the princess's mansion and wait for mother to come back."
Prince Qi's Mansion and the Princess' Mansion are right next door. If they go directly from the Prince's Mansion to the Princess' Mansion, the wedding procession might enter the Prince's Mansion first and still end up in the Princess' Mansion.
Therefore, Princess Pingrou planned to have the bridal sedan go around Shengjing City for a while, and then return to the princess's residence at 3 p.m. for the wedding.
Going around the city would be very tiring for Qi Yuning, let alone Lingling, a child. So Qi Yuning didn't plan to take Lingling with him.
Lingling pouted. Chunfen saw that Lingling was about to cry and said repeatedly: "Little Princess Lingling, today is the princess and the prince's wedding day, you can't cry, you can't shed tears."
Lingling suppressed her grievance and just pouted her lips.
Qi Yuning didn't care about wrinkling the wedding dress, and hugged Lingling and said, "Lingling, be good. Uncle and Brother You will be here today. Lingling can play with them. Mom and Dad will be back soon."
Lingling said: "Okay."
Qi Yuning kissed Lingling on her little face.
Lingling heard the sounds of music and firecrackers outside, so she changed her clothes and went outside to watch the excitement.
The brothers that Lu Ze brought with him to welcome the bride today were Lu Zhao, the third son of the Lu family, and Qin Feng. Lu Yun also wanted to join in the fun, but was ordered by Princess Pingrou to stay in the princess's mansion.
After all, it is inevitable that the ex-fiancé coming to pick up the bride will cause gossip.
Qi Yu'an gathered many young talents from the Qi family army to make things difficult for Lu Ze. The brothers Zhu Feng and Zhu Yang were blocking the gate of Prince Qi's mansion. They insisted that Lu Ze write three poems praising Princess Qi before they would let him enter the mansion.
Qi Yuning was in the room. When she heard Xiaoman coming in to report, she smiled faintly. She didn't expect that Qi Yu'an had arranged something to embarrass Lu Ze.
Zhao Shu came in and said to Qi Yuning, "Yuning, get ready quickly. Lu Ze is already at the gate."
Qi Yuning asked: "So fast?"
Zhao Shu smiled faintly and said, "Lingling is helping Lu Ze. Originally, the prince and the Qi family army had discussed many things to embarrass Lu Ze, but with Lingling here, they dare not go too far."
Today was a happy event, and no one was afraid of making Lingling cry. When Lingling pouted, those Qi family army subordinates who originally wanted to make things difficult for Lu Ze no longer dared to do so.
I was afraid of making Lingling sad and cry.
"Coming, coming." Zhong Qianqian and Qin Mang walked in one after another and closed the door.
Qi Yuning doesn't have many friends, and even fewer unmarried friends at her age. The only sister who can be a bridesmaid today is Zhong Qianqian, and Lu Ze sent Qin Mang to her.
Qi Yuning saw a pearl bracelet in front of the dressing table. It was the one Song Heqing gave her last year as a gift for her makeup.
Qi Yuning never expected that there would come a day when they would not have any contact with each other after getting married.
Lingling's baby voice rang out at the door: "Mom, open the door quickly, open the door, Daddy is coming."
Qi Yuning listened to the sounds outside, covered her face with a fan, and sat upright on the edge of the bed.
Lu Ze coughed lightly outside and said, "Madam, open the door. Your husband is here to pick you up."
Qi Yuning's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard Lu Ze's words.
Lingling said anxiously in her baby voice: "Mommy, it's so cold outside, please open the door quickly and let Daddy in."
Even if Qi Yuning was willing to let Lu Ze suffer from the cold, she was reluctant to let Lingling suffer from the cold, so she said softly, "Open the door for them!"
As soon as the door opened, Lingling held a string of candied haws in her hand and said to Lu Ze in a way that asked for credit: "Daddy, mom opened the door. Lingling wants to eat sweet candied haws again tomorrow."
"Okay." Lu Ze gently touched Lingling's little head.
When he entered the room and saw Qi Yuning covering her face with a fan, only her phoenix eyes were exposed, Lu Ze could not stop smiling.
Qi Yuning saw Lingling coming over and touched Lingling's face with a smile, "You sold your mother for a string of candied haws?"
Lingling said: "Lingling didn't sell out mother. Lingling knew that mother had been thinking about father for a long time."
Lingling's words made everyone laugh.
The matchmaker said, "The auspicious time for the bride to leave is almost here. The bride is leaving her house!"
Qi Yu'an came from outside and carried Qi Yuning on his back all the way to the hall. After Qi Yuning and Lu Ze both bid farewell to the spirit tablets of their grandparents and parents, Qi Yu'an carried Qi Yuning on his back to the sedan chair.
The bridal sedan is a large sedan carried by sixteen people. It is spacious and has gauze curtains on all sides. Even inside the sedan, it does not feel cramped and one can enjoy the scenery of Shengjing City. The journey will not be boring in the sedan.
Qi Yu'an sent Qi Yuning to the bridal sedan chair, feeling reluctant to let her go. He walked to Lu Ze who was standing in front of the red horse and said sternly, "Be nice to my sister. If you dare to let her suffer even a little, you will be an enemy of my entire Qi Palace!"
Lu Ze responded respectfully: "Brother, don't worry, I won't let Yuning suffer any injustice."
Qi Yu'an walked to the front of the bridal sedan, still reluctantly admonishing: "When you get to the princess's mansion, it will be the same as the prince's mansion. The Qi family does not need you to endure grievances outside. Brother hopes that after you get married, you can still be the same as when you were the princess of the Qi prince's mansion."
Qi Yuning listened to Qi Yu'an's words with tears in her eyes.
Zhao Shu led Lingling forward, and Lingling smiled sweetly at Qi Yuning and said, "Don't cry, Mom! You can't cry today. Lingling, you can grab some candy when Mom comes back!"
Qi Yuning held back her tears and smiled faintly. As the ceremonial music played, Lu Ze rode on the red horse and got farther and farther away from Prince Qi's Mansion.
Looking at Lu Ze's back as he rode on the big horse, Qi Yuning recalled the scene when Lu Ze taught her how to ride a horse when she was young, and let her sit behind him and guide her on the ride.
At that time, little Qi Yuning really didn't expect that one day, the two of them would be able to get married and become husband and wife.
But after all the twists and turns, marrying Lu Ze seemed destined for her.
