Chapter 1148 The wedding ceremony cannot be omitted
Things are different now. Since Shengze has such an idea, it is naturally difficult for the Shen family to refuse. However, the time is too short, and Liang hopes that the date can be set later.
"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid the time won't be long." Wu sighed, "If His Highness doesn't ascend the throne soon, it will probably cause instability in the court."
Of course they wanted to keep Shen Qingqian for another two years, but considering Sheng Ze's age and the current situation, the two of them should get married sooner rather than later.
Liang frowned, "But if the coronation ceremony and the queen coronation ceremony are to be held together, wouldn't our sister Qian be too wronged?"
She didn't care about these formalities, but outsiders would definitely use this incident to speculate on Shen Qingqian's position in Shengze's heart. If even the wedding was rushed together with the coronation ceremony, wouldn't it make people look down on Shen Qingqian?
"Mom, I had to do this. I don't care what others say." Shen Qingqian said.
The most important thing is that she and Shengze can live a good life in the future, and they can ignore everything else.
After hearing her say this, Liang could only reluctantly agree.
Shen Qingqian was accompanied by the secret guards of the Shengze faction, who immediately passed the news to the palace.
When Sheng Ze received the news, he couldn't help but smile and shouted, "Come here, the chief of the Imperial Observatory is here to see you."
The Imperial Observatory acted quickly and sent the selected date to the Shen family the next day.
Liang looked at the three days squeezed into one month in silence, feeling very dissatisfied with Shengze.
Shen Qingqian also secretly held her forehead, but she also knew the current situation, so she didn't say anything, guessing that Liang would choose the last day.
Sure enough, Liang pointed to the last day and said, "Let's do it today, July 29th, so we can prepare the dowry."
Except for those that could not be recovered, all the Shen family's property that was not confiscated was returned by Sheng Ze, including part of the dowry that Liang had prepared for Shen Qingqian.
But now Shen Qingqian is going to marry into the palace, and if nothing unexpected happens, she will become the queen, so those things are naturally not enough.
The Wu, Lin, and Liang families, as well as the brothers Shen Xiao and Shen Jun, had already agreed that when Shen Qingqian got married, 90% of the family property would be given to her as a dowry.
Today, the Shen family owns 90% of the property, including salt mines in Ezhou and the six northwestern states, Chenji pastries, Chenji cloth shops, etc., which are beyond the reach of outsiders.
The Shen family was preparing for the wedding, and Sheng Ze also called all the officials from the Ministry of Rites to give them numerous instructions.
"The coronation ceremony and the ceremonies of paying homage to the gods and offering sacrifices to heaven can be omitted if possible, but all the etiquette of the wedding cannot be omitted. Do you understand?" Sheng Ze emphasized again.
The Minister of Rites stepped forward and replied, "Your Highness, we obey your order!"
His Highness really cares about the sixth daughter of the Shen family. The coronation ceremony and the thanksgiving ceremony are such important matters, but he actually said to save as much as possible. Tsk tsk, he must tell his family when he goes back that he must be more diligent in visiting the Shen family in the future.
Sheng Ze waved them off and called Xiyue over, "Have you prepared the things you asked me to prepare?"
Xiyue bowed and said, "I have asked Mr. Qin to complete the production. It will be tested in the next few days. Master, do you want to go and see it?"
"Let them find a secluded place, I will go there after midnight." Sheng Ze thought for a while and said.
He planned to give Shen Qingqian a surprise, but he couldn't let anyone else know before that.
Xiyue agreed, "I understand."
During this month, Shen Qingqian prepared for her wedding while dealing with household chores, while Shengze also completely stabilized the court.
In the blink of an eye, it was July 29th.
