Chapter 439 Marriage 3
Afterwards, Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong also offered tea to their mother, the Empress Dowager, followed by Lord Zhao and Madam Wei, and finally Fan Yong's parents, Lord Fan and Madam Fan.
Although Mrs. Fan was unhappy, thinking that since her son already had a title, why should he become a consort, especially to Princess Funing, she was worried that the people present today were all powerful and influential. Even the retired emperor and the crown prince were present. She was afraid that her smile wasn't good enough.
She had prepared many instructions when Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong served her tea, but she couldn't say them now. After all, the emperor had already said so, and if she said anything more, she was afraid that the entire Fan family would suffer.
Mrs. Fan smiled as she drank her tea, but she was thinking, if Princess Funing didn't have any children, then the title of her youngest son would definitely not be passed down to anyone in the Princess's Mansion. Either the Princess and her family would adopt a child from Fan Yong's brothers, or Fan Yong would have to make it clear that the title would be passed directly to his nephews.
Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong were currently unaware of Madam Fan's thoughts. Even if she knew, Zhao Lingmeng wouldn't care. She truly didn't care about Fan Yong's title. Fan Yong could give it to whoever he wanted in the future. Just don't bother her.
Could it be that even though she has become the eldest princess, she still has to fight with her mother-in-law? It's not like she has nothing to do because she has eaten too much.
At this moment, Madam Wei heaved a sigh of relief when the Ministry of Rites announced the ceremony was over. Seeing Madam Wei like this, Marquis Zhao was afraid that she would die if she felt relieved.
Old Marquis Zhao quickly whispered, "You have to hold on a little longer! You have to see if our daughter is doing well. You can't give others the reputation of your daughter bringing down her mother, right?"
Madam Wei held onto Marquis Zhao's hand tightly, a smile on her face. She knew the old marquis said this because he couldn't bear to leave her. Before there were no painkillers, he would look like he was about to cry whenever she felt pain. Back then, when she said she wanted to leave, he agreed.
Later, when painkillers became available, he stopped talking like that and always mentioned his daughter, his eldest son who was dissatisfied with the backyard, and his second son who was at the border.
Although Lord Zhao never mentioned himself, Madam Wei knew that he was reluctant to let her go.
"Don't worry! My children have grown up and have their own families and careers. I only miss you now." Old Madam Wei held her husband's hand tightly, as if to give herself strength.
Although he was in a lively scene, Lord Zhao was not so happy at the moment, but he could not say "don't worry about him".
Old Marquis Zhao thought to himself, since he was getting old, he should be selfish for once! He should let his wife stay with him for a while longer. So he also held Mrs. Zhao's hand tightly and responded softly, "Okay."
After the wedding ceremony, the princess did not have to wait in the house for her husband to entertain her like other women. Instead, she took Fan Yong to meet people and then toasted everyone together.
Of course, there were also many people who offered Fan Yong a drink, but he accepted all of them and was quite a drinker. The whole day was very lively, and in the evening, the emperor's congratulations to Zhao Lingmeng were a sky full of fireworks.
Although the fireworks were beautiful, the way everyone looked at the emperor was becoming increasingly strange. Nowadays, fireworks were only set off when there was something important happening in the palace.
Many guests began to leave after watching the entire fireworks display.
However, the old Marquis Zhao and his wife, the retired emperor and his wife, the crown prince, and Yang Chengchen stayed directly in Zhao Lingmeng's mansion. Madam Fan also wanted to live here, but was pulled away by Lord Fan.
Although there were many people staying there, it was Zhao Houyang who took care of everything from beginning to end. Zhao Lingmeng basically just became a beautiful relative.
After everyone had gone to bed, Zhao Houjing wanted to go to the bridal chamber to make trouble, but was eventually called away by the prince. He didn't want to leave at first, but the prince said they should just have a small gathering, so he didn't dare to refuse him. In the end, he didn't make trouble anyway.
At this time, Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong were both sitting on the bed in the bridal chamber, both still a little at a loss.
But in the end, Fan Yong spoke first, "Your Highness, are you happy today?"
Zhao Lingmeng knew Fan Yong was completely sober the moment he spoke, and her curiosity was instantly piqued. After all, she had been by his side all day and had seen with her own eyes how much he had drunk. Curious, since they were no longer strangers, she asked, "Master Fan, why aren't you drunk yet?"
"Haha" Fan Yong laughed instantly. He felt that Her Highness was really cute at this moment. Of course, he liked her cleverness and seriousness when she was dealing with weapons even more.
Fan Yong's smile instantly dissipated the tense and awkward atmosphere in the room. Zhao Lingmeng reached out and patted Fan Yong's arm, then asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"
Fan Yong pretended to cough, suppressing the smile on his face, and then explained, "Your Highness, you know what I used to do, right? Doing something so dangerous, how could I not get drunk?"
After hearing this, Zhao Lingmeng sincerely made a gesture to Fan Yong saying, "You are awesome."
Seeing this, Fan Yong smiled even more happily. He stood up, personally poured two glasses of wine on the table, and brought them over, inviting, "Shall we drink the wedding wine now?"
Zhao Lingmeng took the wine glass and drank the wedding wine with Fan Yong, and then placed the wine glass directly in Fan Yong's hand.
He said very boldly, "It's getting late, let's go to bed early!" If you ignore Zhao Lingmeng's red ears, this boldness was still very successful.
Seeing this, Fan Yong clenched his fist and put it to his mouth to suppress his smile, "I will obey your Highness."
The next morning, Fan Yong woke up early. Normally, he would have gotten up to practice martial arts by this time, but seeing Zhao Lingmeng showed no sign of waking up, he secretly thought that a day without practicing martial arts wouldn't be a big deal, so he went back to sleep.
By the time Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong got up and tidied up, it was just time for lunch.
The Emperor and his mother, the Empress Dowager, had breakfast early in the morning and then went straight to their villa outside the city. If they didn't leave now, they might be blocked by people with requests in the Princess's mansion, so it was better to escape as soon as possible.
When the prince saw his grandfather had run away, he obediently returned to the palace to work. After all, if he didn't go back, the emperor would have sent someone to look for him. Sometimes the prince was also confused. How could any prince be as busy as him? The princes in the history books only studied hard. Why was it different when it came to him?
But no one listened to him. Anyway, the emperor was unwilling to let him go. If the emperor didn't let him go, there was nothing others could do.
Marquis Zhao and Madam Wei returned to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion early in the morning, mainly because Madam Wei wanted to go back. She was afraid that if something happened to her daughter in her mansion, it would cause trouble for her. One can only say, "Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans."
