"Miss, how are you feeling now?"
“Are you excited and happy seeing such a lively scene?”
"Cui Liu hasn't seen such a grand wedding in a long time. The betrothal gifts and dowry alone are more than ten miles long."
"If I could have such a wedding, I would be happy even if I died right then."
Yu Xuanji was truly speechless listening to Cui Liu's incessant mumbling.
This must be how many benefits the prince gave to this little girl without her knowledge, otherwise how could she speak for others to this extent.
Yu Xuanji couldn't help asking in the red sedan chair carried by sixteen people: "Cui Liu, tell me honestly, how much benefit did the prince give you?"
Upon hearing this, Cui Liu looked into the sedan chair in confusion.
"What benefit? Miss has never met the prince. How could Cui Liu have met the prince?"
"Then why do you say so much for him?"
Cui Liu was even more confused.
Did I speak for the prince? Was it yesterday? But why is it still on my mind today? Miss is a little too petty, isn't she asking it herself?
At the same time, Xiao Rongyu also saw his two nominal sisters-in-law.
"Biyao, Liuli, please sit down."
"Hongshuang, go get the fruit plate, and bring two servings of bird's nest from the kitchen."
Hearing this, Li Liuli quickly said, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to bother. My sister and I ate a lot of snacks when we came out, so we're not hungry."
Xiao Rongyu smiled when he heard this and said, "This is the blood swallow's nest that the Western Region merchants brought from Siam. It is very difficult to eat in Shangjing City."
Blood swallow's nest? This is something that only the queen mother could eat in the past. How about trying it? Li Liuli swallowed excitedly.
"Since sister-in-law is so sincere in hosting us, my sister and I will give it a try."
Xiao Rongyu felt a little awkward when she heard the word sister-in-law again, but it was only a little bit, because her cheap husband still called her the Crown Princess.
Embarrassment is something you'll get used to slowly.
Li Xiuzhu didn't really come to eavesdrop. There were so many people in the Prince's Mansion today. It would be troublesome if they were seen by someone with ulterior motives.
Soon, the carefully stewed blood bird's nest was served.
The bird's nest is basically cooked by stewing it. Apart from the lotus seeds, osmanthus and wolfberries that are visible to the naked eye, only the main ingredients of the blood bird's nest are left.
At this time, Xiao Rongyu said, "Try it quickly. In addition to the lotus seeds, osmanthus and wolfberries that you can see, I also asked someone to add ginseng."
"But the ginseng tasted too strong and was not tasty, so I had someone stew two cups of tea and then picked out the ginseng."
"Also, after it comes out of the pot, the temperature is not so hot, and rock honey is added."
"Rock honey is slightly sour and a little sweet, and it is a good product with a rich taste."
Li Liuli was almost drooling at what Xiao Rongyu said, and he quickly scooped up a spoonful to taste it.
The slight sourness, slight spiciness, ginseng soapberry flavor and rich sweetness are more obvious.
But the four flavors are cleverly combined together without any one flavor stealing the others' flavor.
"Sister-in-law, this bird's nest is really delicious, but it's still a little light."
"Sister-in-law, come to my house when you have time. I'll ask Xiuzhu to make delicious food for you. Many of the delicious dishes Xiuzhu makes are unheard of or seen before."
"Sister-in-law, do you know Yunzhu Tower, the most popular building in Shangjing City?"
"All the dishes in there come from our house."
Xiao Rongyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he felt a little envious.
What made her eyes light up was hearing about Li Xiuzhu, and she envied Li Liuli and the others for being able to eat the food cooked by Li Xiuzhu.
Really, I cried my heart out.
However, Xiao Rongyu remained expressionless, and only asked with a little doubt: "Can my brother-in-law cook?"
It’s not appropriate to call her Xiuzhu, and calling her Li Xiuzhu is too unfamiliar. Only brother-in-law is suitable.
But as soon as the word "brother-in-law" came out, I felt something strange in my heart.
At this moment, she seemed to understand why Li Xiuzhu only called her Crown Princess and Sister-in-law, and was not willing to call her by her name.
It's like... there's something a little bit extra special.
When it was almost dark, the prince finally came back with his men.
And customs are just those customs, he has experienced them all, and he knows most of them whether he sees them or not.
At this time, another voice came from outside.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
After all, it is the prince's marriage, not taking a concubine, but marrying a wife, so he will definitely come.
Li Xiuzhu also stood up and walked out.
The wedding ceremony was held in the front hall. When Li Xiuzhu walked over, Li Kuo had just entered the front hall.
Li Xiuzhu took a look and saw Xiao Rongyu and his two wives were also there.
"Your son greets His Majesty."
"Your son greets His Majesty."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Your son greets His Majesty."
Li Xiuzhu also stepped forward and saluted when he saw this.
"Your son greets His Majesty."
If possible he really didn't want to call her that, but Li Kuo had specifically told him before that it was okay to be more intimate in informal occasions, so he naturally had no choice.
Besides, there's nothing wrong in calling him father, except that it's a bit awkward.
"Well, everyone get up." He said with a slight frown.
"The third brother and your second sister haven't arrived yet?"
Li Xiuzhu was the first to speak when he heard this: "Second sister and third brother just arrived at the banquet hall. When they heard that father was coming, they should be here soon."
As soon as Li Xiuzhu finished speaking, Li Chengyu and Li Shiqing came together.
"Your son greets His Majesty."
"Your son greets His Majesty."
"Well, it's good that you're here. Stand aside for now. The wedding ceremony will begin soon."
There is only one seat available today, and the rest of the people can only stand.
Li Xiuzhu stood with his two wives and Li Shiqing, while Li Chengyu was on the other side.
"The auspicious time has arrived..."
With a shout, everyone stood up and Li Kuo also took a seat.
At this time, Li Chengze also walked into the front hall holding a red silk in one hand.
At this moment, Li Chengze had a big red flower in front of him, looking like a top scholar who had passed the imperial examination.
The two women behind him were wearing phoenix crowns and red veils on their heads. At first glance, apart from their gorgeous appearance, one could not see anything about their inner beauty.
But that beautiful figure still makes people unable to help but fantasize and want to take a peek inside.
“Bow to Heaven and Earth!”
"Bow to heaven and earth!"
As the voice fell, the prince turned around with his two brides and bowed to the heaven and earth outside.
At this time, a path leading to the outside of the temple was cleared, and it was obvious that no one dared to bear this bow.
"Bow to your parents!"
This time he bowed to Li Kuo, who gladly accepted the bow.
"Three bows to each other, husband and wife!"
The two brides stood in the same row, and Li Chengze stood opposite them, and the three of them bowed.
"Send her to the bridal chamber!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengze glanced at Li Xiuzhu, then left with a slight smile.
Seeing Li Chengze's smile, Li Kuo felt that his son was really satisfied with getting married and getting two beauties, and he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
