The wedding was scheduled for three days later, and the time was short, but the scene was no worse than the last time she married the Ninth Prince. She had everything that others had, and she also had things that others didn't have.
Three books and six ceremonies, a ten-mile red wedding dress, Fengxia wearing a crown, a sedan chair carried by eight people, and a formal marriage, nothing was missing.
The night before the wedding, her mother was busy counting the dowry in the yard: "The jewelry and other things are heavy, they need to be packed separately from the land and shops."
"What about the betrothal gifts from the Liu Mansion? Add them all in. Ten miles of red dowry, not a single box less will do."
"Mom, that's enough. If you bring so many, there won't be enough space for them." Ye Qingwan hugged her mother's arm.
"Silly child, if you can't fit all these things in, I will buy you a yard to keep them. Dowry is a woman's confidence, and these are far from enough. If you need anything in the future, just tell me."
"If you get angry over there in the future, you must tell mother, and mother will..."
I wanted to say that I cut him open, but then I thought it was unlucky, so I changed my words: "Mom will take care of him."
"I understand, mother." Ye Qingwan hugged her: "Mom, I want to sleep with you tonight."
"You're so grown up, yet you still sleep with your mother." Her mother seemed to be angry, but she was quick in her actions and pulled her back to her room to sleep.
On the second day, Liu Sheng wore a bright red wedding gown, looked energetic and went out to pick up his bride.
Xingmu and He Yu were among them. Even His Royal Highness Prince Xiang, who was far away in the south, came back. He changed out of his armor and put on his pre-military attire, sitting on a tall horse, looking very eye-catching.
"When Your Highness is not fierce, he is really not fierce." Liu Sheng walked at the front of the wedding procession.
King Xiang glanced at him and said: "Yes, when you act like a human, you also act like a human."
"Hahaha."
There were thousands of people at the wedding party, stretching out the entire street, and every corner and alley was blocked by them.
As they walked, they scattered wedding money, beat gongs and drums, and shouted, "Today my master is marrying Miss Ye, and everyone is here to share in the good fortune."
The common people received the wedding money and happily congratulated: "Congratulations to Mr. Liu, congratulations to Miss Ye."
"Grow old together."
"Have a baby soon."
Those who knew thought they were coming to welcome the bride, while those who didn’t thought they were planning an uprising.
Section 202
The team stopped at the gate of the prime minister's residence. Liu Sheng straightened his clothes and prepared to go in, but was blocked at the door by Ning Shaoqing and his men.
"You want to get in right now? How can it be that easy?"
"That's right, Master Liu is knowledgeable, and has both literary and military skills. It's time for him to show off his skills." Qingqing took the lead and was the first to make things difficult for him.
"That's right. In the past, it was the Grand Tutor who tested us. Today, it's our turn to test the Grand Tutor."
The young lady from an aristocratic family who had studied with Ye Qingwan in the Royal Private School also came out to join in the fun.
Liu Sheng smiled and stepped back: "Okay, what's the test?"
"What exam should we take?" everyone was thinking.
Xia Xuejian stepped forward and said, "Master Liu is very talented in writing. Why don't you write a poem on the spot to praise our bride?"
"Okay, okay, this is good." The proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.
But King Xiang was not happy: "Why write poetry on such a happy day? A single moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold."
After saying this, he tried to force his way in, but was stopped by someone.
Liu Sheng had no choice but to finish one poem in a second: "I want to be a bride, I am so happy and crazy, I put on thick and light makeup skillfully. The red dress is so soft and tender, and the dimples on the pear-shaped cheeks cherish the tender fragrance. I am half happy and half angry, I can't say it, I am crazy and intoxicated, it's hard to hold back. God has rewarded the beauty's wish, marrying a talented and good husband."
As soon as the words came out, everyone exclaimed, "Are you praising the bride or yourself?"
"That's it. It doesn't count. Come again, come again."
No one bought it, so Liu Sheng secretly winked at Xingmu, and Xingmu rushed in while they were not paying attention.
Ning Qingqing caught him red-handed: "Humph, you're trying to cheat."
When Xingmu saw that it was Ning Qingqing, he was instantly at a loss. He turned around to look at Liu Sheng, shrugged his shoulders, and looked helpless.
At this moment, King Xiang took the wedding money from Shihu's hand and threw it directly into the sky: "Here you go, pick up the wedding money."
The money for the celebration flew into the sky, and everyone immediately rushed to receive it. King Xiang took the opportunity to rush forward and make way.
The others followed immediately and pushed everyone out of the door, and Liu Sheng walked in easily.
When Prince Xiang and his men squeezed in, their hats were squeezed askew: "I am so tired, it is more tiring than going to the battlefield."
Liu Sheng stood at the door of the hall, watching the old woman bringing the bride, who was dressed in red and covered with a red veil, towards him step by step.
When Ye Qingwan came up to him, the old woman handed one end of the red ribbon to him and the other end to Ye Qingwan. They walked in side by side. The prime minister and his wife were sitting in the hall.
Following Uncle Lin's words of worshipping heaven and earth, the two men knelt down and kowtowed towards the northwest.
He bowed twice to his parents, then turned around, knelt down and kowtowed to the prime minister and his wife.
The husband and wife bowed to each other, facing each other.
Originally, the worship of heaven and earth should have been held at the Liu Mansion, but the Liu family's parents were not at home, so he suggested worshiping at the Prime Minister's Residence.
The Prime Minister and his wife knew that Liu Sheng did this to make them happy and to show his love for their daughter.
Although they were reluctant, they also felt relieved to leave their daughter to him.
After paying homage to heaven and earth, the two went out.
According to their customs, the bride cannot let her feet touch the ground when she goes out and needs to be carried by the matchmaker.
But Liu Sheng carried it on his back and put it into the bridal sedan.
Before coming out, he secretly stuffed a bag of snacks into her hand and whispered, "Eat when you're hungry."
Ye Qingwan held the bag of food in her hand and suddenly felt very warm-hearted. It turned out that one doesn't have to go hungry after getting married.
Not long after returning to the new house, Liu Sheng came in.
He sniffed her sleeve to make sure there was no smell of alcohol, then walked over, picked up the wedding scale on the table, walked in front of her, and suddenly felt a little nervous.
After taking a deep breath, he gently lifted her red veil, and a beautiful face appeared before him.
When Ye Qingwan saw him, her face turned a little red, but she smiled happily.
Liu Sheng also smiled and sat over: "Is it heavy? I'll help you take it off."
Ye Qingwan covered it and said, "Don't take it off yet. I want to wear it for a while longer."
"Why?" Liu Sheng didn't understand. She looked so heavy that she couldn't even straighten her neck due to the pressure from the crown.
“Because it looks good.”
This sentence made Liu Sheng laugh out loud, and he kissed her forehead: "My little lady has always been stunningly beautiful, she doesn't need these decorations."
Ye Qingwan nestled into his arms like a kitten: "Really?"
"certainly."
Only then did Ye Qingwan agree to take off the crown.
Liu Sheng carefully helped her take off her hair ornaments one by one, then took a comb and gently combed her hair.
After combing her hair, he brought a pot of wine over, poured two cups, took one for himself, and handed another to her.
Ye Qingwan took it, and the two of them crossed their hands and drank the wedding wine.
Liu Sheng hugged her in his arms: "Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to make you something to eat."
Ye Qingwan shook her head. She was already full after eating the bed of red dates, peanuts, longans and chestnuts.
Liu Sheng leaned close to her ear and said with a smile: "Then... shall we take a break?"
When Ye Qingwan heard this, she suddenly thought of something and her face turned red.
