Although it was Emperor Shengzhao who arranged the marriage, Cong Chongqiu still went through all the necessary procedures without missing a single step.
First, a marriage proposal is made, and both parties exchange the birth dates of their children. After calculations show that they are suitable and well-matched, the marriage is discussed.
Then comes the engagement stage. After determining that the man and woman are suitable for marriage, they enter the engagement stage.
The next step is to look at the dowry. The man goes to the woman's house and places the woman's dowry items in the hall.
Then comes the stage of Nacai. The man proposes through a matchmaker, and the woman has a preliminary intention to get married. The man is ready to go to the woman's house to propose on behalf of the loyal Huoyan.
To ask for the name, the man entrusts a matchmaker to go to the woman's home to find out her birth date and eight characters. After getting them, the man asks Ma Chengye to divine the marriage ceremony.
Naji, after the man matches the woman, he will inform the girl's parents (Emperor Shengzhao) of the good news and catch a pair of geese as an engagement token.
The man sends the betrothal gift to the woman's family.
Final date: Choose a specific date for the wedding, notify the girl’s parents, and confirm it after obtaining their consent.
After a busy period, I didn't dare to delay for a single day and it took me a month to complete all these tasks.
Cong Chongqiu had been looking forward to his wedding day and night.
After a busy period, Cong Chongqiu walked into the bridal chamber drunk.
Cong Chongqiu, who was drunk and staggering before entering the room, straightened up as soon as he entered the room, staring at Shang Lu who was sitting by the bed waiting for him with shining eyes.
The maids in the room saw Cong Chongqiu's staring eyes, covered their mouths and laughed, and all quickly left the room.
The last maid to leave was considerate enough to close the door.
Shang Lu heard the footsteps of the maids leaving and nervously rubbed the handkerchief in his hand.
She pursed her lips, looked at the pair of big feet that appeared under the veil, and paused for a moment with nervous breathing.
The next second, the veil covering her head was lifted.
Shang Lu's eyelids twitched, and she opened them tremblingly. After looking at Cong Chongqiu shyly, she quickly lowered her eyelids again.
Cong Chongqiu looked at the extremely beautiful Smilax glabra, his throat rolled and his breathing became a little faster.
"Wife~~"
As soon as he opened his mouth, a hoarse and low voice came out of Cong Chongqiu's mouth.
Shanglu's ears turned red instantly, and he pursed his lips and said "hmm" softly.
Hearing Shang Lu's response, Cong Chongqiu grinned.
"You're so... beautiful!"
Shang Lu blushed and glanced at Cong Chongqiu, "Idiot..."
Which bride doesn’t look good when she gets married?
"Hehe~" Cong Chongqiu laughed happily, turned around and walked to the table to pour two glasses of wine.
"It's time for us to drink the wedding wine~"
A night of pleasure is worth a thousand gold. After completing the formalities, it’s time to get down to business.
Shang Lu stretched out her delicate hand to take the wine glass handed to her by Cong Chongqiu, and the two of them drank the wedding wine with their eyes locked.
The candlelight flickers, the shadows sway...
For two consecutive days, the couple did not leave the room.
On the third day, Shang Lu came out of the room with a bright look on his face.
"My dear, this is a health-preserving medicine prepared by the imperial physician."
Shang Lu looked at Cong Chongqiu with heartache and stuffed a black pill into his mouth.
Cong Chongqiu's lips were pale, his eyes were heavily covered in dark circles, and his face was ashen. He looked at Shang Lu anxiously, and pulled his lips to reveal a smile.
"I'm still young, so I don't need to take care of my health."
Cong Chongqiu stubbornly propped himself up with his trembling arms and sat up, taking a long, deep breath.
Hey~
At first, he wanted to let Shang Lu see how powerful he was and make Shang Lu beg for mercy.
As for the result...never mind, let’s not talk about it.
Fortunately, he was very happy in the first two days, but he felt a little reluctant on the third day.
He will have the imperial physician to take care of him later. He can't always be suppressed by his wife.
Shang Lu blushed as he glanced at Cong Chongqiu.
"I know you're the best, but...I feel sorry for you."
"Hehe~" Cong Chongqiu proudly put his arm around Shang Lu's shoulders.
"My wife is the best."
The couple's loving days lasted for more than a month.
Until Shang Lu followed Emperor Shengzhao to Shuitian City.
This trip will take about ten days.
At first he felt relieved that he could rest for two days.
From the beginning of the third day, he missed his wife so much that he felt very uncomfortable.
After waiting for a long time, on the tenth day I finally heard the rumbling sound of an airplane.
"Wife~"
Cong Chongqiu stood at the palace gate with green eyes to welcome Shang Lu.
"Husband~" Shang Lu excitedly rushed to Cong Chongqiu and patted the pottery jar in his arms.
"I brought you something good."
"What good stuff?"
"You'll know when you get back. Let's go~"
Shang Lu held the pottery jar in one hand and pulled Cong Chongqiu with the other, and hurried to the mansion excitedly.
Cong Chongqiu's heart skipped a beat, and he felt inexplicably panicked.
He could vaguely smell the medicinal fragrance emanating from the pottery jar...
As the saying goes, a short absence is better than a new marriage. They haven't seen each other for such a long time, so he can actually do it without taking the tonic.
With a creaking sound, Shang Lu excitedly closed the door, carefully placed the pottery jar on the table, turned around and waved to Cong Chongqiu.
"Husband, come here."
Cong Chongqiu pursed his lips, walked over, sat down at the table, and looked at Shanglu eagerly.
"Wife, let's get down to business first."
The imperial physician has been taking care of his health for some time, and he is now incredibly strong.
Shang Lu glanced at Cong Chongqiu shyly, opened the pottery jar,
"What's the rush? Drink this first."
Shang Lu pushed the pottery jar in front of Cong Chongqiu and raised his chin towards him.
"This tonic soup was prepared by our ancestors themselves. Not everyone can drink it."
