The marriage of Prince Lu and Princess Qi was a great happy event in Shengjing City. Both sides were filled with people watching the fun, and many people also brought their children to ask for candy and share in the joy.
Princess Pingrou had already ordered her subordinates to prepare wedding cakes, wedding money, and wedding candies. When she met common people coming to watch the fun along the way, she would distribute wedding cakes, wedding candies, and scatter wedding money to join in the fun.
When the sedan chair passed by Prince Duan's Mansion, Qi Yuning saw Song Heqing standing at the door of a small courtyard nearby.
Qi Yuning repeatedly instructed Lichun, "Stop for a while."
Lichun walked over and asked the ceremonial band in the front to stop. When Lu Ze saw the sedan chair stopped, he rode to Qi Yuning and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qi Yuning said to Lu Ze: "Can He Qing come over for a moment?"
Lu Ze followed Qi Yuning's gaze and saw Song Heqing at the door. He went over and said a few words to the guards in charge of the courtyard.
Song Heqing was able to come out and walk to Qi Yuning's side. She saw Qi Yuning covering her face with a fan, revealing only a pair of eyes, and smiled softly, "Yuning, you look very beautiful today."
Qi Yuning said to Song Heqing: "Today is my big day, so I won't advise you anymore, but I still hope you can turn back from your wrong path soon. He doesn't deserve you!"
Song Heqing said: "I'm sorry, Yu Ning."
Qi Yuning took a piece of wedding cake from the sedan chair and gave it to Song Heqing, "This wedding cake will bring you some happiness."
Song Heqing took the wedding cake, tasted it and said, "It's delicious. I wish you and Master Lu a happy marriage and a son soon."
Qi Yuning said: "I also hope that you can find your way back soon, find a good partner again, have a baby with someone who loves you, and live happily ever after."
After bidding farewell to Song Heqing, the bridal sedan continued to move forward, circling Shengjing City, taking a full day from noon to noon and then to the evening.
Even though Qi Yuning was sitting in a sedan chair carried by sixteen people, she still felt a little tired.
Looking at the princess's mansion in the distance, Qi Yuning reminded Guyu: "When you throw the wedding money and candies later, aim at Lingling."
Guyu nodded and said, "Yes."
The outside of the princess's mansion was already full of guests who wanted to see Princess Qi's face after she became the bride.
Firecrackers went off and a group of children gathered around, asking for wedding candy.
After Qi Yuning got off the sedan chair, he saw a group of children coming over and saying nice things to him.
The leader, Zhong You, was calm and composed, saying like a little adult: "Congratulations to Princess Qi and Prince Lu on their great happiness. I wish Prince Lu and Princess Qi a long and happy marriage and a son soon!"
Lingling was dissatisfied and said, "Brother You, you are wrong. It is a girl who is born early. Lingling wants a sister!"
Many people thought Lingling's words were just childish talk and just laughed it off.
Qi Yuning and Lu Ze also smiled faintly and entered the princess's mansion.
After stepping over the high threshold of the main gate of the princess's mansion and entering, she was a little surprised to see His Majesty and the Queen sitting in the hall. She didn't expect His Majesty and the Queen to come.
Princess Pingrou and Prince Consort Lu both sat below the Queen.
"The auspicious time has arrived, let's bow to heaven and earth."
Following the chanting of the Minister of Rites, Qi Yuning and Lu Ze knelt outside the door and worshipped heaven and earth.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Qi Yuning and Lu Ze turned around and knelt.
"Bow to your parents again."
The two men kowtowed again without getting up.
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
Qi Yuning held the red silk in her hand, turned around and saw Lu Ze, and chuckled softly. She had never seen Lu Ze laugh so happily.
After the greetings, they were escorted to the bridal chamber. Qi Yuning noticed that the smile on Lu Ze's face seemed to become more obvious.
It was not the first time that Qi Yuning came to Lu Ze's courtyard and his house, but today there were many differences. The bed had been changed. It was a new bed that Qi Yuning had prepared as a dowry. Fortunately, she had people make many beds, so she could have a new bed for this third marriage.
There were wedding characters posted all over the house, and even before dusk, big red wedding candles had already been lit.
The bridesmaid took a pair of scissors, cut a few strands of Qi Yuning's hair, and then went to cut Lu Ze's hair. Lu Ze asked Deqing to wait outside, took off his wig, and let the bridesmaid cut his short hair, which was about an inch long.
The matchmaker tied the two people's hair into a knot, put it in a purse, said a lot of happy words, then put the purse in a wooden box and buried it under a peach tree in the yard.
Qi Yuning chuckled when she saw Lu Ze with short hair, and reached out to touch Lu Ze's short hair, "I forgot that your hair is still so short!"
But don’t say it, Lu Ze with short hair is just as handsome as Lu Ze with long hair, and his facial features are even more fierce.
Lu Ze's peach blossom eyes dimmed slightly. He held Qi Yuning's hand, coughed and said, "You haven't eaten for a day. Eat something first. I have to toast the guests later."
Qi Yuning said: "I'm too hungry. I'm not that hungry now, but my neck hurts. This hair crown is really heavy."
Lu Ze took off the Phoenix Coronet for Qi Yuning and rubbed her neck. "You should eat a little more to avoid being exhausted later."
Qi Yuning said: "I'm not going to toast, why would I need the energy?"
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning deeply, but didn't say anything. He took a handful of dates and peanuts, peeled them, and fed them to Qi Yuning, saying, "Eat some fruit to fill your stomach. We will have to drink the wedding wine later."
Qi Yuning said to Lu Ze: "Drink less wine later. If you feel embarrassed, let Lu Yun drink for you."
Lu Ze smiled softly: "Yeah."
The bridesmaid brought in a pot of wine and a gourd, which she cut in half to form two gourds. Qi Yuning and Lu Ze each took half and poured in the sweet wine, then they fought and drank up all the wine in the gourds.
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning's red lips stained with wine, and asked the maids to leave. Only he and Qi Yuning were left in the huge room.
The big red dragon and phoenix candles lit up the room. Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning's red lips stained with wine, then lowered his head and kissed her.
The smell of alcohol permeated between their lips and teeth.
Lu Ze carried Qi Yuning to the big bed covered with a dragon and phoenix quilt, leaned down, and reached out to untie the belt around Qi Yuning's waist.
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "You still have to toast later."
Lu Ze took a deep breath and calmed down. He had endured so much time, so a little while longer wouldn't hurt.
Qi Yuning also said to Lu Ze: "Also, have you told Lingling that she can't sleep with us today?"
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said, "You didn't tell Lingling?"
Qi Yuning asked: "How can I tell Lingling?"
Lu Ze smiled and said, "It's okay. She must be very tired from playing today. I'll let her sleep with Baozhu later. I don't think she will refuse."
"Mother, Father, open the door, open the door!"
Lu Ze walked to the door and opened it. He saw Lu Baozhu and a group of children coming in and said, "It's time to make trouble in the bridal chamber. Go ask the bride for the red envelope."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Baozhu bringing a group of children. Fortunately, she had prepared a red envelope.
"Lingling, your mother is so beautiful!"
"Of course, my mother must be very beautiful!"
Zhong You looked at Qi Yuning shyly and said, "Aunt Princess, you look especially beautiful today. When I grow up, I also want to marry you."
Lu Ze heard this and said, "You don't stand a chance."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and handed the red envelopes to the children who came to the bridal chamber one by one.
Princess Pingrou came over holding Yuan Ge'er and said, "Ze'er, the wedding banquet has already started outside. You should go and entertain the guests and offer toasts."
Lu Ze said to Qi Yuning: "Wait for me to come back."
Qi Yuning nodded, got down from the bed, and wiped the red lipstick off Lu Ze's red lips.
Qi Yuning looked at Yuan Ge'er in Princess Pingrou's arms and smiled softly, "Why are you holding Yuan Ge'er?"
Princess Pingrou smiled and said, "Come and bring him to see his aunt who has become his cousin's wife. By the way, let him roll around in bed. It will be a good omen."
Qi Yuning smiled calmly and said, "It's better to let Lingling do it. There is no better omen than Lingling."
The bridesmaid who came in from the side said, "According to the rules, it should be the boy who rolls in bed..."
Princess Pingrou said, "Yes, there is no better omen than Lingling. Just let Lingling roll around in bed."
Princess Pingrou was looking forward to Qi Yuning giving birth to Lingling as soon as possible. Such a lovely little granddaughter must be born. Princess Pingrou also looked forward to seeing the soft little Lingling in her infancy.
