Chapter 111 The Crown Prince's Wedding, a Joyous Event for the Whole Country!
The corners of the Queen's mouth slowly curved into an extremely mocking smile.
Within that arc.
There was not a trace of emotion, nor a trace of love.
some.
It's just a detached calm.
And a silent, cold laugh at the man in her arms who showered her with endless pampering and protection.
Consort Yan is nothing special!
As for the emperor...
Since he was willing to play this deeply affectionate role, she would play along to the end.
Anyway, they already had the emperor's favor.
Neither she nor her son will suffer a loss, will they?
Since the beginning of spring.
A brand-new prince's residence was erected in just one month.
Under the spring sunshine, the eaves and brackets shimmered with a glass-like luster, becoming the most eye-catching spectacle in the capital.
The courtyard that Qian Yueshu bought earlier.
Everything, from applications to preferences, was arranged according to the Crown Prince's tastes.
From every blade of grass and every tree in the courtyard to the glaze of the tea set.
It was a kind of quiet, understated thoughtfulness.
A deep and tender care for the other person, placing them at the very core of one's heart!
Every time the Crown Prince stepped into the temporary Crown Prince Palace that Qian Yueshu had bought for him.
He felt as if he had returned to the Eastern Palace.
Every corner, every wisp of incense, soothes his deepest, unspoken preferences and weariness.
That quietly placed understanding, like spring rain nourishing all things, silently yet profoundly seeps into the heart.
The newly built Crown Prince's residence.
Xiao Qingxuan arranged everything exactly according to Qian Yueshu's preferences.
This is probably his response to Qian Yueshu's love!
He abandoned the inherent solemnity and dullness of the Eastern Palace system.
The decorations were arranged entirely according to Qian Yueshu's preferences.
Her hometown was in Jiangnan, so Xiao Qingxuan drew water from the house to create a winding pool, stacked strange rocks to form an artificial mountain, and created a scene of a Jiangnan water town with winding corridors and exquisite pavilions!
Knowing she loved dressing up, he left her four rooms as a dressing room.
It corresponds perfectly to spring, summer, autumn and winter!
The four rooms were filled with clothes that Qian Yueshu liked, along with matching jewelry, shoes, and socks.
He even went so far as to find out that Qian Yueshu preferred a certain fragrance with a light, grassy scent, so he ordered people to specially find fragrant wood to make all the furniture in the bedroom...
This kind of back-and-forth, meticulous effort.
It quickly became a popular story in the capital.
In teahouses and taverns.
The storyteller exclaimed in surprise, "In ancient times, there was the story of a couple who lived in perfect harmony; now, there is a prince and princess who dote on each other!"
After the new mansion was completed.
The only burning thought in the Crown Prince's heart was to marry Qian Yueshu as soon as possible.
Logically speaking...
The Crown Prince's wedding was a grand national event, with elaborate rituals and complex procedures, and was no small matter.
Each item requires careful preparation.
The tasks alone include making wedding attire, preparing for the investiture ceremony, rehearsing the rituals, and hosting banquets for guests.
Which one doesn't take a month or two?
It's common to prepare for one or two years under normal circumstances.
Even if everything is kept simple, it will still take at least six months.
But the crown prince clearly could not bear such a long wait.
He personally oversaw every aspect of the wedding preparations, and his directive to "hurry up" was clearly and firmly conveyed to every relevant department.
The Crown Prince personally coordinated many of the most time-consuming and approval-intensive steps, pushing the process forward with astonishing efficiency.
He summoned officials from the Ministry of Rites, the Imperial Household Department, the Imperial Observatory, and other departments, and set the tightest timetable. Any disputes were decided on the spot, without any delays.
All this urgency, all this hands-on approach.
Everyone with eyes can see it clearly.
The Crown Prince's desire to marry Qian Yueshu.
How resolute was it?
How impatient they are!
It wasn't just admiration for a woman; it was more like a yearning for a complete life, an eagerness to rightfully welcome the bright moon that had already shone into his heart into the heart he had carefully crafted.
All those involved in the Crown Prince's marriage were moved by his sincerity.
They were also helping the Crown Prince complete the various wedding details as quickly as possible.
Under the urging of the Crown Prince, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau selected the auspicious day as March 28th.
This day.
The spring breeze was gentle, the sky was clear and the air was fresh, as if even the heavens were showing special favor to the Crown Prince and Qian Yueshu.
The entire capital city was already decorated with flowers and brocade. From the Qian family mansion to the newly built Crown Prince's residence, clean water was sprinkled along the streets, red carpets were laid, and every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and red silk was hung up.
Children eagerly waited along the street, the air filled with the festive fragrance of flowers.
The prince's wedding procession was magnificent and unprecedented, with banners waving and drums and music filling the air.
He personally rode a fine horse, dressed in a bright red wedding robe, his handsome face beaming with undisguised smiles and anticipation, through the cheers of the city's bustling streets, to the Qian residence to welcome his bride.
When the magnificent bridal sedan chair was decorated with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns.
Amidst deafening gongs, drums, firecrackers, and a crowd of onlookers, she was steadily carried into the new Crown Prince's residence built for her.
The prince held one end of the red silk ribbon, leading the bride, adorned in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, to the other end.
The grand wedding ceremony has officially begun.
Unlike the cold reception at the Sixth Prince's wedding.
The Emperor and Empress were both present at the Crown Prince's wedding.
Moreover, all the powerful and influential officials in the court, including those who were at odds with the Crown Prince, were present.
Even many ordinary people joined in the celebration.
After all, it was the Crown Prince's wedding, and the Emperor had declared, "Let the whole country celebrate for three days."
A newly built residence of the Crown Prince.
Another event was held at the palace, and this time it was held at the East Palace.
This demonstrates that the emperor never had the idea of deposing the crown prince.
All that happened before was merely a punishment for the Crown Prince's willful behavior, not an attempt to depose him!
The ceremony at the palace was even more solemn.
The investiture ceremony was held in the main hall of the palace.
Dressed in elaborate and magnificent crown princess attire, Qian Yueshu, guided by female officials, gracefully received the emperor's imperial seal and investiture.
At that moment, her dignified and beautiful face, adorned with jewels, appeared even more stunning.
This day.
It was not only the fulfillment of the personal love between the Crown Prince and Qian Yueshu, but also an unforgettable romantic memory in the hearts of the people of the capital.
Both the Qian family and Mingyue Tower spent a fortune on a series of banquets.
Regardless of your status?
Whether it's a beggar, a poor scholar, or an ordinary citizen...
As long as you come to offer your sincere congratulations, you will be able to enjoy a hot feast.
Of course, this banquet was too expensive and only lasted for three days, as a way to pray for blessings for Qian Yueshu's wedding.
After all, who doesn't offer some words of blessing when they come to ask for a meal?
This wedding brought joy to some and hatred to others.
Especially the sixth prince and his wife, who had just held their wedding.
They saw their own wedding, and then they saw the Crown Prince's wedding.
My heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Of course, there was another person whom she hated even more than the Sixth Prince and his wife.
This person is Liu Yu.
On the night of the Crown Prince and Qian Yueshu's wedding, she took the initiative to ask Xie Jingxing for drinks.
Or perhaps they wanted to sabotage Xie Jingxing and Qian Yueqiu's relationship...
