Yan Shiyue really doesn't have time to take care of this matter.
The bride is very busy and will soon be giving the make-up gift.
On Yan Shiyue's side, the Empress Dowager, Emperor Ming Yan, and the Empress would reward her with some good things every day. She also had a business empire in her hands, and the Prince of Chengping's Palace and the Meng family also gave her a lot. When the dowry was laid out, it was a row of large boxes, all made of top-quality rosewood, which was simply blinding.
When it came to adding makeup, she was available in the front court, the harem, the inner house, among the common people... There were people coming to add makeup all day long, and all of them brought expensive gifts, which was unprecedented.
The Queen also came in person.
Yan Shiyue's face was almost frozen from smiling.
Although Meng Min has to deal with most of the people, there are always times when she needs to show up. It only happens once in a lifetime, and she feels embarrassed to be lazy.
As for the people who came, they couldn't suppress their shock.
Didn’t they say that His Highness was dying of illness?
Look at the complexion, pink, crispy and fragrant, it doesn't look like it!
...
...
Isn’t it said that His Highness has a bad reputation?
Look at how delicate and soft she is, don’t you feel guilty about what you are saying?
Let’s talk about the dowry. I haven’t heard of such a splendid one in hundreds of years. For other families, one set of head ornaments is considered a box, but for hers, four sets of head ornaments filled with jewels are considered a box... It’s no exaggeration to say that she is as rich as a country!
The women who came here, who were told not to inquire, all turned their curiosity into envy, jealousy and hatred, with sourness bubbling out of their mouths.
When they got home, many people sighed: "If you really count it, it must be more than 200 pieces, right? It's even more splendid than the Crown Princess' wedding! Oh my, the jewels are so dazzling that they are blinding!"
Then she heard her own man roaring, "Idiot! I told you to go see His Highness! What are you looking at the jewel box for!"
On the day of makeup, there is ten miles of red makeup.
It was a sunny day on the day of the wedding.
Yan Shiyue was unusually nervous. He got up early in the morning and paced back and forth in the room.
Qiao, Tang Xiu, the Crown Princess, the Fourth Prince's wife, and the Fifth Prince's wife all came and were handed out sticks.
Then she put on her wedding dress and did her makeup... It was not until the evening that she heard the sound of the bride's welcoming procession coming from outside.
At this time, the importance of popularity can be seen. At this time, the custom is to welcome the bride like to kidnap the bride, with hundreds of people, all of them strong men. Along the way, there are crowds of people watching, and guests who come to drink also come out to watch the fun.
Then, Huo Qijing's voice came through the gate, saying loudly: "If a thief comes, he must be beaten; if a guest comes, he must be watched. Tell the aunt and sister-in-law to come out and see us."
The Crown Princess respected her status and did not want to join in the fun. The Fourth Prince's wife was usually very serious, but she was unexpectedly crazy when she played. She answered loudly, "Who is this distinguished guest who came to the door in the middle of the night?"
"I am a gentleman from Chang'an, so I came to pay a visit to you, just to enjoy the glory. I am your sister-in-law, how are you doing?"
"There is a well in front of the courtyard, with a fence made of gold and wood. My sister-in-law and I are all safe. I wonder how you will fare when you come here?"
After a long back and forth of questions and answers, the Fourth Prince's wife finally said, "Please dismount."
Then the groom began to recite poetry.
Then...Qiao, Tang Xiu and others went out with sticks and beat the groom together. This is called "tricking the son-in-law."
Normally, at this stage, the groom would have to get beaten and dodge and beg for mercy, which would make it more lively, but General Huo didn't do that at all... He dodged very quickly at first, and the weak women of the Qiao family couldn't hit him at all. Later, when Chu Ningyuan saw that this wasn't going to work, he immediately changed sides, waved his hand, and several people held him down together.
However, when the stick hit him, General Huo felt no pain at all and endured it silently...
Several people from the Qiao family fought to the side, and Chu Ningyuan and his group also cooperated very well, shouting and yelling... and finally got through this stage.
Yan Shiyue was sitting in the room. Weixin and Weibo took turns going out to look and then came back to tell her.
Yan Shiyue was delighted when he heard it.
But to be honest, this marriage is too troublesome. She was full of expectations. When someone came, she stretched her neck like a meerkat and waited. Now she is almost falling asleep waiting. How can she try to hold up a head weighing several kilograms for a whole day?
After waiting for a long time, she finally heard a series of footsteps. Under the window, Huo Qijing recited a poem urging her to get ready.
A hundred or so Yu Lin soldiers behind them shouted like thunder: "Bride, hurry up and come out! Bride, hurry up and come out!"
Yan Shiyue stood up and was about to walk out, but Linlang grabbed him and said, "Wait a minute!"
"Hmm?" Yan Shiyue asked, "He's here, do we still need to wait?"
Many people outside heard this and burst into laughter...someone even shouted, "The bride is in a hurry to go out!"
Huo Qijing's face was full of smiles.
He stared at the door. Hundreds of people were shouting in a meaningful manner for a while. Finally, he saw a figure floating behind the screen. The bride came out and tilted her head vaguely towards him.
Huo Qijing burst out laughing.
Then, he was dragged to perform the goose-laying ceremony, bid farewell to his parents, covered with a knee-length apron, and got on the wedding car...
Along the way, countless "car-blocking tribes" said auspicious words and stopped the car. Not only did they demand rewards, but they also gave away cattle, sheep, cloth and other things... Because Goddess Fu was so popular, the car-blocking tribes never stopped along the way. It only took an hour or so for the short journey without any detours.
When we arrived at the Duke's Mansion, there were women helping to pave the road with mats. These were the families of the generals and soldiers of the Yulin Army. As they walked, someone would bring the mats from the back and spread them in the front. This was called passing the mats.
Then there are the "bride-making", "tentation", "wedding wine"...
By the way, she just found out that the bride's bed mat was actually laid out in the southwest corner of the room...
Anyway, after the series of troubles were over, all the shyness, romance and nervousness in Yan Shiyue's heart were gone... Such a long set of procedures was too troublesome, and anyone with a slightly fragile body could not bear it.
After she sent everyone away, her first words were: "Getting married is so tiring!"
He hummed and just looked at her without blinking, his smile getting bigger and bigger.
Her face was slightly red as she waited for her groom to say something... He blew out the candle, strode over to her without hesitation, hugged her, and started to take off his clothes, as quickly as if he was searching her.
Meow meow meow? ?
This is really Huo Qijing's fault.
He got straight to the point without leaving any time for sweet talk or vows.
For him, all the previous etiquette should be considered as preparation, and eating meat is the main topic.
As expected, novels are all lies, wedding night, flowers and candles! Not sweet at all.
No, I didn’t lie...it seems like none of them lied.
The red candles are shining brightly in the new house, but the good night is too short.
The banquet outside the bridal chamber was just beginning and it was very lively.
Because the man has no elders, they could only invite Xu Wenqu to take charge of the situation in the Duke's Mansion.
Huo Qiyang was still young, so he went back and forth with him to support the team. His four apprentices and several familiar generals from the Yulin Army went to different places to take care of the team.
They drank until the moon was at its highest point in the sky, and then the guests left one after another. Even Xu Wenqu was staggering with drunkenness.
Qing Weiliao remained sober the entire time. While directing people to clean up, he personally helped Xu Wenqu back to his room.
After Xu Wenqu got drunk, he was unusually quiet. Qing Weilai gave him some sobering soup, took off his shoes, helped him onto the couch, and left some tea on the table. Then he quietly closed the door and went out. When he walked to the window, he heard a long sigh: "Yuer..."
Qing Weiliao suddenly paused.
He quickly looked around and stood under the window for a while, but the scholar in the room, who had always been calm and refined, did not make any sound again, as if the previous sound was just an illusion.
