Laifeng Kingdom, the eighteenth year of Baofeng, the sixth day of the sixth month.
After one and a half months of intensive preparations by the Ministry of Rites, the day of the royal brother-in-law Hua Qingguo's wedding finally arrived.
In the early morning, the sun shines through the clouds onto the streets and alleys of the capital, bringing a touch of warmth and vitality to this ancient and prosperous city.
Outside the Hua Mansion in the city, it was already crowded with people who came to watch the excitement. Their faces were filled with joyful smiles, their eyes were shining with excitement, and they were looking forward to the start of this grand wedding.
When you enter Hua Mansion, the first thing that catches your eye is the big red lanterns hanging high up. They sway gently in the breeze, as if telling people about this festive moment.
Every corner of the mansion has been carefully decorated, with flower balls hanging high, red silk fluttering, and big red wedding characters posted everywhere, creating a joyous atmosphere.
The front hall was bustling with activity. Early in the morning, guests arrived in an endless stream. All of them were either wealthy or noble. They were dressed in their finest attire, smiling as they offered their congratulations to Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun.
"Congratulations! Master Hua, Master Ye, your son is getting married today. It's truly a cause for celebration!"
"Haha, thank you very much, please take a seat!"
Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun greeted every guest with a smile, their hearts filled with joy.
Hua Qingcheng also ended the morning court early and went to the Hua Mansion with her seven wives and seventeen children.
"Mom, Dad, we are here to help." Hua Qingcheng said with a smile.
Hua Rongsheng looked at her daughter, son-in-law, granddaughters, and grandsons with a loving face: "Qingcheng, Lige, I feel much more at ease with you here. These people are either royal relatives or high-ranking officials in the court. Mother still feels a little uneasy."
Ye Maochun beside her also nodded, indicating that he agreed with his wife's statement.
Mu Lige smiled slightly and said, "Mom, Dad, your daughter is the emperor. Which royal relative can compare to you? You are royal relatives yourselves!"
When Ye Maochun heard this, it was as if he had suddenly realized something. He muttered to himself, "It seems to be true..."
Hua Rongsheng laughed after hearing this, feeling relieved. Yes, since his daughter was the emperor, his family was naturally royal relatives.
"Haha, Li Ge is right." Hua Rongsheng was in a good mood, with a happy smile on her face. "I can't be so unconfident in the future."
Ye Maochun nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with satisfaction. Seeing his daughter so outstanding and surrounded by a group of filial grandchildren, he felt extremely satisfied.
Hua Qingcheng smiled at her honest and simple-minded mother and father, then turned to look at Mu Lige. They both read deep love and affection in each other's eyes. The family gathered together, the atmosphere harmonious and warm.
"What are you talking about? You seem so happy."
Just then, a strong voice came from behind them: "What are you little kids doing standing here?"
Everyone turned around and saw it was General Feng—Feng Jingyun. Accompanying him was Mulan Jinmu, the elderly husband and wife. The couple, now in their eighties, still looked energetic and strong.
Moreover, behind them were Feng Lingyan, Nalan Yunzhi, Feng Cailan, Yu Jingyang, Feng Qining, Feng Qiyan, Shan Zuo, Shan You, and four children.
When the guests entered the front yard and saw the princesses and princes greeting the guests inside, they were frightened.
Of course, this was nothing. When they saw the retired emperor, the emperor, the empress, the two royal nobles and the four nobles busy in the wedding hall, they suddenly felt weak in the knees and secretly regretted not coming earlier.
Thus, a strange scene unfolded within the Hua residence. Those nobles, dressed in gorgeous attire and usually high and mighty, who had come to attend the wedding, were actually rushing to do the servants' work, whether it was wiping tables and chairs or serving tea and water, fearing they would be left idle.
Seeing these nobles who usually lived a life of luxury now busy as hell, the servants beside them couldn't help but laugh.
At the same time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the city, Lian Xing was standing aside, watching Hao Ming Gong combing his daughter's hair.
"Comb your hair once to the top of your head, and you won't have to worry about wealth and prosperity; comb your hair twice to the bottom of your head, and your gray hair will reach your eyebrows; comb your hair three times to a house full of children and grandchildren, and you will be blessed with a long life."
Good Fortune Man said auspicious words while tying Ye Ling'er's hair into a bun. However, in Laifeng Country, women have always married men since ancient times, so this was the first time he had done makeup and combed a woman's hair.
Looking at the stunning bride in the mirror, the lucky man couldn't help but sigh, "My husband, your daughter is so beautiful. The children you and your uncle will have in the future will definitely be outstanding."
"It's good, but I feel a little reluctant." Lian Xing said while hiding her tears with her sleeves.
Seeing this, Situ Wanqing hurriedly comforted him, "Liangchen, it's a good thing that our daughter has found her own happiness. Instead of letting her run around and disappear without a trace, it's better to keep her in the capital."
"Also, the Hua Mansion is only a few blocks away from our Xiang Mansion. It takes less than a quarter of an hour by carriage. If you miss your daughter, you can go there eight or ten times a day. Besides, the Hua mother and father are both kind people. Although our daughter is marrying into the family, they will surely treat Ling'er well."
After hearing Situ Wanqing's words, Lian Xing felt much more at ease.
Ye Ling'er held Situ Wanqing and Lianxing's hands and said, "Mom, Dad, don't worry, Ling'er will definitely be happy."
Lian Xing nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.
At this moment, Situ Luoyun and Yuwen Tianqi also walked in. They handed a mysterious box to Ye Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, today is your wedding day. This is a gift from me and your grandfather."
