The moment the Crown Princess saw Daya, she felt she could hardly take her eyes off her.
Having removed her bright red wedding dress and phoenix crown, Daya wore a red satin jacket with white fox fur trim and a matching A-line skirt.
The large skirt made Daya's waist look even slimmer.
She was like a delicate and charming young lady, as frail as a willow in the wind.
The Crown Princess, with her strong and independent spirit, couldn't help but want to treat Daya with tender care.
"Oh, this must be my cousin's wife."
I'd heard people say my cousin's wife was as beautiful as an angel, and when I saw her, it was true—she was truly adorable.
No wonder my cousin has been looking for so many noble ladies in the capital for so many years, but he hasn't taken a liking to any of them.
With my cousin and his wife's looks, even I wouldn't be interested in anyone else.
They're all just ordinary, plain-looking women. Beautiful, truly beautiful.
The Crown Princess's expression was practically drooling.
Daya knew she was beautiful.
But no one had ever praised her so openly to her face, which made her feel embarrassed.
"Your Highness, you flatter me. I'm nowhere near as beautiful as you describe."
People say that a bride is the most beautiful woman in her life, and I'm just basking in the glory of getting married today.
By tomorrow, I won't be the most beautiful anymore.
Daya wasn't one to mince words; if the Crown Princess praised her, she naturally had to reciprocate.
But you can't just say, "I know I'm beautiful."
The Crown Princess strongly disagreed, "Why won't you be the most beautiful tomorrow?"
Daya whispered, "From today onwards, starting tomorrow, I will be a withered flower."
Crown Princess...
A moment of shock, then bursts of laughter echoed far and wide.
The Crown Princess almost laughed until she cried.
"You silly girl, where did you learn all these dirty jokes? They're so fitting for the occasion. Isn't that right? Once you're married, you'll have nothing to do with that pure and innocent girl anymore."
The two women, both with a wild spirit, quickly struck up a conversation.
Han Xuri had told Daya long ago that the Crown Princess was a person who did not care about details.
Whether or not she will take her seriously depends on Daya's own charm.
There's no need to worry about offending anyone; he'll take care of things if anything happens.
He's taken the blame.
What he didn't expect was that his young wife was not only good at arguing, but also had no taste for meat or vegetables.
The Emperor and Empress returned to the palace before the wedding banquet.
They were very sensible; they knew that as long as the two of them were around, the ministers wouldn't be able to relax.
Therefore, after the wedding ceremony and being led to the bridal chamber, the couple left immediately.
Han Xuri didn't even have time to see the guests off.
But there's no reason for someone to attend a wedding banquet without drinking alcohol.
Han Xuri sent his trusted confidants to prepare a banquet and deliver it to the palace.
Of course, the palace had everything, so there was no need for Han Xuri to show off his filial piety.
But Han Xuri didn't think so.
He felt he needed to send it over; otherwise, he would feel uneasy.
After the emperor and empress returned to the palace, they discussed whether Han Xuri would send a banquet.
They really didn't have to wait long.
In other words, the banquet was delivered before the wedding banquet even started.
Originally, Han Xuri's cousin was invited to help him fend off drinking.
As a result, these disloyal people became jealous because Daya was so beautiful.
They switched sides at the last minute and refused to help.
This infuriated Han Xuri.
Since you're not going to help, well, then I won't serve you any drinks.
Want to drink my fruit wine? Dream on.
As a result, there was no wine at Prince Han's wedding banquet.
Everyone was drinking tea. Of course, the tea was quite good, but a wedding banquet without alcohol just felt a little incomplete.
Han Xuri, however, disagreed.
"Drinking is bad for your health. As a groom, I need to keep a clear head, otherwise how can I spend my wedding night?"
What a shameless person it must be to say such a thing.
But Prince Han could say it so confidently.
This infuriated the guys who had previously switched sides.
People attend the wedding banquet for two main reasons: firstly, relationships;
Another large portion of the customers came specifically for the wine from Prince Han's family.
Everyone knows that Prince Han can get his hands on delicious fruit wine.
Presumably, they'll be able to get a few bottles at the wedding banquet.
That's all. Not only were there no fruit wines, but even the most ordinary alcoholic beverages weren't provided, which is a bit outrageous.
When they learned that it was those few who were supposed to be the ones to refuse the toasts who had turned against him at the last minute, which displeased Prince Han, everyone naturally understood.
So the blame was immediately turned on those few who were blocking the drinks.
Unable to act recklessly due to their social status, they dared not do anything out of line.
If there's no wine, then let's eat! And let me tell you, the food at Prince Han's house is absolutely delicious.
It's delicious! And what's that red stuff? It's spicy and very refreshing...
At the wedding banquet of Prince Han, a strange sight appeared: the guests devoured all the food.
Even more impressively, the soup was completely swept away.
Is this still the kind of banquet that those arrogant and high-ranking officials used?
The servants who were cleaning up the mess felt that today's cleaning work wasn't so tiring.
The plate was so clean you could practically lick it.
Although no one drank alcohol at the banquet, each person received half a jin of wine as a parting gift.
This wine, even a pound of it, is worth several dozen taels of silver.
Even if it's not as good as fruit wine, it's still very hard to find.
Upon seeing the small wine jar, the male guests' resentment vanished.
They exclaimed that Prince Han was very thoughtful.
Taking the wine home is much more enjoyable than drinking it at a banquet.
Whenever there is alcohol at a banquet, everyone has to speak in all sorts of official jargon, just like when they are on duty.
Without alcohol, the meal was incredibly satisfying.
This was the first time these high-ranking officials and dignitaries had ever sat at someone's banquet and eaten their fill.
Going home and having another good drink feels wonderful.
I don't know if it was due to the influence of Prince Han or something else,
After Han Xuri's wedding banquet, for a long time afterward, no one served alcohol at their banquets.
To put it clearly,
"We're here to eat at the banquet; the focus is on the food."
"How can it be called a feast if we don't eat?"
Therefore, since then, the competition has shifted from wine to the taste of dishes.
Wine has also become an essential gift for returning the favor.
A wedding night in which the groom does not drink alcohol is obviously perfect.
Just look at Daya's rosy cheeks the next day, and you'll know that last night was a great harmony of life.
After getting up, washing up, and having breakfast, the couple prepared to go to the palace to express their gratitude and pay their respects to their elders.
When newlyweds meet their elders, they usually present their best embroidery skills.
For example, shoes, insoles, clothes, socks, etc.
But Daya had never learned any of these things since she was a child; all she needed to do was master martial arts and medicine.
The mother takes care of all the clothes and shoes, and there is no requirement in the tribe that women must know how to sew.
On the contrary, many men are quite good at needlework.
