When Xiao Mingzhan thought about the end of his carefree life once he returned to Beijing, getting married became less urgent.
In the next two years, they traveled all over the country, visited mountains and rivers, experienced the customs of the world, and lived a carefree life like a fairy.
From time to time, he would send some delicious local specialties along the way back to Beijing, which made His Majesty and the Empress in the palace very envious.
Of course, they are not just playing around. Since Lan Country has high-yield grain, she uses her space to cultivate various high-quality fruit seedlings, various vegetable and fruit seeds, various medicinal seeds... In short, all that can benefit the people's livelihood are improved.
Duan Yunchi followed them and experienced both pain and joy. He witnessed many miracles but was also busy and exhausted.
He was responsible for promoting all the things that Gu Xinran cultivated. One second he had eaten the sweetest and largest watermelon, and the next second he had to organize people to plant it.
Gu Xinran also discovered coal mines in Qingzhou, making it easier to make cement and smelt glass. People could also use it for heating, giving Lan Country another pillar industry.
Jianzhou discovered a huge salt mine, taught everyone how to refine refined salt, and established Lan State's first inland salt field.
…
Although they are not in the capital, their legends are always circulating in the capital.
Two years later in the spring, at the urging of His Majesty the Queen and the Gu family, they finally ended their travels and returned to Beijing.
Before they returned, His Majesty asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the coronation ceremony of the new emperor and the wedding ceremony of the emperor and empress.
In the past two years, Lan Country has gradually become rich and strong, and political affairs have gone much more smoothly, but Xiao Mingjia still feels overwhelmed.
The medicine that Gu Xinran left was very good, but some damage was irreversible. Certain gaps in the heart meridians could not be made up, and necrospermia could not be recovered... He had always been looking forward to unloading the burden and living a leisurely life with his wife and daughter.
On the third day after returning to Beijing, Xiao Mingzhan’s coronation ceremony took place, and two days later the emperor and empress got married.
This pace and efficiency exceeded Gu Xinran's imagination. As soon as she returned to the Princess's Mansion, she immediately started busy mode, trying on wedding clothes, preparing dowry, learning etiquette, and understanding the procedures...
The night before her wedding, Gu's mother came to Gu Xinran's room, held her hand, her eyes filled with reluctance.
Her voice was choked with sobs. "Ran Ran, you're going to get married tomorrow. You have to get along well with Ming Zhan... the Emperor. Mother really can't bear to leave you."
Gu Xinran couldn't bear to see her mother sad, so she said with a smile, "What's there to be reluctant about? I just changed my sleeping place. It's close to the palace here, so I can come back to see you every day. Brother Xiao said that after becoming the queen, I can move around freely and won't be trapped in the palace."
After hearing this, Mother Gu smiled slightly and touched her head lovingly. "Now that you are married and have become the Queen, you can't act so capriciously. The Emperor understands and indulges you, so you must also love and tolerate him. Mutual respect and love will last forever."
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then Mother Gu took out a booklet and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Gu Xinran asked curiously with a smile: "Mom, what heirloom do you have in your hand? Is it a gift for me? Seeing how reluctant you are to part with it, it can't be some martial arts secret manual, right?"
Mother Gu showed a trace of embarrassment on her face and coughed twice. "Secret book, you can read it yourself."
Gu Xinran couldn't wait to open it and saw that it was a relatively conservative erotic picture book and a sex guide.
He flipped through a few pages and laughed out loud: "Mom, where did you get this secret book? It's too crude, and the people on it are too ugly. Brother Xiao is a hundred times more handsome than the people on it. Look at this page, this posture is not something a human can do..."
Gu's mother didn't expect Gu Xinran to be so bold and without any sense of shame. She looked at it with relish and commented on it as if it were a picture album.
He tapped her forehead and said, "You are a girl, so be reserved. Read these carefully, or you will suffer a loss later."
Gu Xinran thought of the little movies she had seen before. All of this seemed child's play to her. To comfort her mother, she suppressed her laughter and nodded solemnly, "I will definitely study hard!"
Mother Gu thought for a moment and then reminded him awkwardly, "If you study the following postures and precautions carefully, it will help you conceive a child."
After saying that, he walked away with a hint of embarrassment.
The next morning, Gu Xinran was woken up before dawn.
A group of people surrounded her. After she washed up, they began to change her clothes, put on makeup, and put on a crown and jewelry... She was like a puppet, at their mercy.
After that, I don’t know how many dresses I changed into, how many times I rode in sedan chairs, how many times I knelt down and bowed…
After going through the whole process, she was exhausted and felt that the person who designed the process of the emperor and empress's wedding should be dragged out and beaten with a stick. It was too complicated!
After all the ceremonies were over, Gu Xinran was finally escorted into Fengyi Palace.
She sat on the wedding bed and first poured herself a glass of spiritual spring water. Her good body could hardly bear it.
I was hungry and tired, and really wanted to lie down on the bed and take a nap right away, but I still had to lift the veil and drink the wedding wine.
She sat helplessly with the crown jewelry that could break her neck on her head. Xiaomei and Xiaolan saw that she was overwhelmed, so one of them helped her hold the crown while the other handed her some snacks.
Fortunately, Xiao Mingzhan was sensible. A quarter of an hour later, the new emperor, dressed in a dragon robe and looking energetic, arrived at Fengyi Palace surrounded by a crowd of people and completed the subsequent rituals.
The eunuchs behind him also brought a lot of food boxes and placed them on the table one by one. Seeing the various delicacies, Gu Xinran finally smiled.
She complained, "Brother Xiao, this wedding is so tiring. I've been up before dawn and busy till now. I'm starving and my neck is twisted. Fortunately, it only happens once in a lifetime. Have you eaten?"
After asking, she asked Xiaomei and Xiaolan to help her take off her headdress, and then sat at the table.
Xiao Mingzhan looked at her lovingly, "I haven't eaten either, my lady, let's eat together."
The two of them had their first meal after their marriage together.
After the eunuchs removed the leftovers, they left, and Xiaomei and Xiaolan also retreated outside the door.
Gu Xinran began to remove her makeup, took off her heavy dress, and prepared to go to the inner room to wash and bathe.
Xiao Mingzhan stared at her intently the whole time, and his fiery eyes almost set Gu Xinran on fire.
She quickened her pace and slipped into the bathroom with her heart pounding. After washing up, she changed into pajamas and returned to her new room.
Xiao Mingzhan had already taken off his dragon robe, hugged her gently, and whispered in her ear: "Wait for me, I'll be there soon."
After saying that, he went into the bathroom and came out in less than half an hour, changed into pajamas.
At this moment, Gu Xinran was sitting in front of the dressing table, thinking of the patterns on the secret book and the pornographic films she had watched before, and she began to get nervous belatedly.
Seeing her evasive look, Xiao Mingzhan sat down next to her and said with a smile, "Ranran, are you scared? Don't worry, I have studied hard and will perform well."
Gu Xinran encouraged herself. She was a person from the future and had seen pornographic movies. What was there to be afraid of?
He said stubbornly: "Who's afraid..."
Before he could finish his words, his mouth was blocked, his body lightened, and he landed on the bed, with Xiao Mingzhan pressing down on him.
