Chapter 235 Marriage
After Liu Shiqi's birthday banquet was over, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion became even busier.
In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of August.
This day was the wedding day for Liu Xin, the daughter of Duke Rong, and Liu Yong, a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel.
The gate of the Duke Rong's Mansion was wide open, and one could see lights and decorations inside. Red silk was hung everywhere, and lanterns were hung high, reflecting a sea of red.
Whether the masters or servants in the mansion, everyone was in high spirits and walked briskly.
The wedding procession arrived in front of the mansion amid the sound of gongs and drums. Liu Yong was wearing a gorgeous red brocade robe and a black gauze hat, looking heroic.
Someone shouted loudly, "The new son-in-law is coming!"
"The new son-in-law is here!"
Firecrackers were set off at the door.
There were servants at the door throwing candies and copper coins to the onlookers.
Liu Yong couldn't suppress the smile on his face. His skin color, which was originally quite dark, has become whiter in recent years.
Led by the matchmaker, he walked into the mansion with steady steps.
Liu Xin was in her boudoir, wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal bridal gown with exquisite makeup.
She sat there somewhat nervously, not knowing where to put her hands.
Liu Shiqi smiled and teased, "Third sister, don't be nervous! Third brother-in-law doesn't eat people!"
Cheng Xin chuckled, her eyes curved.
Liu Xin glared at them and said.
"Shi Qi, Sister Cheng, you guys are so mean!"
Liu Xin blushed and said, "Have you forgotten that it will be your turn soon!"
"How dare you make fun of me here!"
Liu Shiqi is a shameless person. She gritted her teeth and said with a smirk on her face.
"Ah, yes!"
"Hehe, but I'm definitely not nervous!"
"If we are nervous then, it will be Brother Zhuang who will be nervous! I will just be excited!"
Liu Xin couldn't help but poke her head.
"You are so shameless! Aren't you afraid of scaring His Majesty?"
Liu Shiqi laughed.
"Yeah, he was so scared that his legs went limp..."
Liu Xin rolled her eyes.
However, after being interrupted by Liu Shiqi, she was not so nervous anymore.
But Cheng Xin blushed obviously and was too embarrassed to speak for a long time.
Liu Shiqi looked at her and couldn't help teasing her.
"Sister Cheng, why are you blushing?"
"Could it be that you are missing my second brother?"
Cheng Xin's face turned even redder!
The maids in the room were busy helping Liu Xin tidy up her clothes and take away things.
As the auspicious time approaches.
Liu Xin, supported by the matchmaker, walked out of the boudoir with light steps.
Along the way, petals are scattered everywhere and the fragrance is overwhelming.
Arriving at the main hall, Liu Changying and his wife were sitting in the middle of the table.
Also beside them were Liu Weirong and Old Man Zhong.
Liu Yong and Liu Xin walked in slowly, first bowed to heaven and earth, and then offered tea to their elders.
Finally, he paid his respects to Liu Weirong and Old Man Zhong.
Everyone looked at the newlyweds with joy and blessings in their eyes.
After the ceremony, Liu Xin was carried on the back of his elder brother Liu An and sent to the sedan chair outside the mansion.
Liu Yong also sat on a tall horse.
They traveled around half of Kyoto City with music and singing all the way, before finally returning to Liu Mansion next to the Duke Rong Mansion.
Then they will worship in the hall and be escorted to the bridal chamber.
The new house is decorated warmly and romantically, with flickering red candles. After the guests had eaten and drunk their fill and left the bridal chamber, Liu Yong gently lifted Liu Xin's red veil, and the two smiled at each other with deep affection.
From then on, Liu Xin officially became Liu Yong's wife and the mistress of the Liu family.
More than a month passed after that.
Zhuang Yan and Liu Shiqi got married.
When an emperor marries his queen, he naturally cannot be careless.
All the families that could be ranked high in Kyoto came to watch the ceremony.
The ceremony is very complicated.
Liu Shiqi started preparing early in the morning before dawn and finished after dark.
After arriving at Fengyi Palace, Liu Shiqi, wearing a red phoenix robe, lay on the big bed with a look of despair, not wanting to move at all.
She was still a little weak.
The palace maids, eunuchs, and maids serving nearby didn't dare to make a sound.
Because before, there was a nanny who relied on the fact that she was an elder in the palace.
He is so ignorant that he dares to gossip about Liu Shiqi.
As a result, the emperor happened to hear it. Without blinking an eye, the emperor ordered his men to beat him to death.
It is conceivable how important Liu Shiqi is in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor.
Therefore, no one serving in the palace dared to act rashly in front of the queen.
Even if the queen behaved inappropriately, they didn't dare to say anything.
There is no empress dowager and no concubine dowager in this palace. There were no other concubines.
So, the Queen is the greatest...
And the only one!
Liu Shiqi lay there for a long time until the door creaked open.
Zhuang Yan, reeking of alcohol, hurried in.
He was not surprised to see Liu Shiqi lying on the bed.
He said, "Shi Qi, are you exhausted?"
Liu Shiqi was too lazy to move and said sullenly, "That's right, getting married is really tiring!"
"I didn't see Third Sister being this tired when she got married!"
A nanny couldn't help but smile and said.
"Empress, the princess is marrying an official after all!"
"And your Majesty the Queen, you are marrying the Emperor!"
"The specifications of the ceremony will naturally be more complicated!"
Liu Shiqi naturally understood all this, she was just complaining.
Zhuang Yan sat next to Liu Shiqi and gently rubbed her legs.
"Shi Qi, you get up first!"
"I'll take that thing off your head so it won't be so heavy!"
Liu Shiqi stretched out his arms and said, "Brother Zhuang, give me a hug!"
Zhuang Yan hugged her helplessly but lovingly.
At this glance, Liu Shiqi was wearing a bright red phoenix robe, which was exquisite and gorgeous, and her slightly red face made her look stunning.
Zhuang Yan couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and felt a little impulsive and wanted to kiss her.
The palace maids and nannies were ready to come forward to help.
Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said.
"No, I'll do it myself!"
As he spoke, he carefully removed the phoenix crown and hairpins on Liu Shiqi's head.
All the palace maids, eunuchs and maids were amazed.
And be more respectful to the queen.
After all the hairpins on her head were removed, Zhuang Yan gently took off the phoenix robe on Liu Shiqi.
Only the red inner garment was left.
"Is this better?"
Liu Shiqi moved his neck and nodded.
"Yeah, much better!"
“What a relief!”
Zhuang Yan shook his head in amusement.
Noble ladies from other families would try every possible means to get into the palace, but Shi Qi, on the other hand, didn't care about any of that.
I guess people think that the queen is just the queen.
Zhuang Yan gently pinched her shoulders.
Liu Shiqi asked only after he had completely recovered.
"Brother Zhuang, you must be tired too!"
"Or, let's rest early!"
[I got up at three or four in the morning today! 】
[I’m so sleepy!] 】
When the palace maids and eunuchs heard her say this, they quickly lowered their heads and retreated. He also considerately closed the door of the bedroom.
Zhuang Yan's eyes turned slightly red and he nodded.
"good……"
