The more I think about it, the more dreamy it is.
Chu Qi was quite embarrassed, she felt that her betrothal gift was too stingy, but there was no other way, now the petty treasury was not much, and it had to be kept to deal with various situations. Therefore, the betrothal gift was grand, not quite suitable for a king of a country. But it was not a big problem, when she became rich in the future, she could reward her mother-in-law with more.
After the proposal is completed, the next step is to discuss the specific date of the wedding.
Normally, marriage proposals should be discussed by the elders, but Qi Chenli and Queen Dowager Xiaoci (formerly Concubine Hui) were far away in Qi and busy governing the country. It seemed that the two families would not have a chance to meet before the end of the war, so it was understandable that Chu Qi proposed it herself.
It was obvious that the mother was really anxious, so she found an auspicious date and planned to get married the next month.
It was too rushed, so Chu Qi had to quickly tell Qi Chenli that she was going to get married.
He also told General Wei and others who were fighting outside.
Half a month later, Qi Chenli came with gifts, along with his close confidants Xingde and Xingyue.
The war was intense and General Wei could not return, so he asked someone to send a gift.
Shi Xing rushed back home when his sister got married. He had to see his sister off.
The wedding took place as scheduled.
The wedding was grand that day. Not many guests were invited, most of whom were Chu Qi's confidants, such as Xuan You and other ministers. Chu Qi rode a tall horse to the government office where his father had lived before to welcome him in person.
Along the way, copper coins and candies were scattered all over the place, and people shouted blessings almost all the way.
This is an ordinary family's wedding ceremony.
It was very different from a normal monarch marrying a queen, but there was no other way. After all, they did not live in the Forbidden City, and there was no formal place to hold the enthronement ceremony. After Emperor Yanqing was captured, Chu Qi would hold a ceremony to enthronize Shi Qiang.
But now, just live your life well.
On the wedding night, Shi Qian was so nervous that she wanted to crawl into the chamber on tiptoe, because she and Yun Chang were finally going to become real husband and wife.
In the long night, the candlelight flickered, the gauze curtain was lowered, and shadows floated inside.
A month later, Shi Qiang suffered from morning sickness.
After the doctor took her pulse, he found that she was exactly one month pregnant, which means that she became pregnant on her wedding night.
Xingde had not returned yet. He was ordered by Qi Chenli to stay here to protect his younger brother.
Speaking of which, Xingde and Qi Chenli were worried about the young prince's marriage. Maybe others didn't know it, but they knew that Chu Qi was a eunuch.
Originally, Xingde was worried that Shi Qiang would be angry when she knew the truth.
Unexpectedly, Shi Qian was rumored to be pregnant.
The moment the doctor announced that the queen was pregnant, Xingde's hands were shaking.
Everyone in the room was happy, except Xingde, who had a serious expression on his face.
