Chapter 242 Yongheng's Wedding
Chapter 242 Yongheng's Wedding
However, the Cining Palace was peaceful, while Prince Guo's mansion was a little chaotic.
It’s mainly because of Yongheng.
He couldn't calm down when he thought about marrying Qing'er. It had been several days. His father, mother and sister took turns to suppress him, but it was useless. Every day, he walked around and counted the things in the house, fearing that there would be any mistakes.
Last night, I couldn't even lie down in bed and got up at three in the morning. The house was still very quiet at this time. Everyone was rushing to rest and be in a good state to welcome the bride.
Yongheng went to the yard and practiced two sets of boxing. It was not until four o'clock in the morning that the mansion became lively again.
Men don't need to put on makeup or dress up, so Yongheng only needs to wash up quickly and he looks brand new, wearing a red wedding dress, and he is really full of energy.
If he didn't tell me, who would know that he hadn't slept all night?
As a result, Yongheng started to urge Qing'er as soon as he finished packing. He wished he could grow wings and bring Qing'er back right now.
But his anxiety was of no use; instead, it made things worse, causing the group, who were originally in an orderly state, to become a little flustered.
Finally, under Yongheng's repeated urging, the wedding procession set off.
Prince Guo and his wife happily sent everyone away with their guests, waiting for Yongheng to bring Qing'er back for the wedding.
When Yongheng brought the wedding party to the palace, the auspicious time had not yet arrived and Qing'er was not ready.
Jingyan smiled and stole a thick stack of red envelopes from his brother's hand, then asked Yongheng to write a poem to urge him to get ready.
"I've heard that my brother is a learned man, claiming to be the best in the world in both civil and military affairs. So, as for literature, composing ten poems urging you to get ready shouldn't be too much of a challenge for you, right?"
Yongheng gritted his teeth, smiled, and nodded, then turned around and glared at Fu Lingan.
He took his anger out on others. He took his anger out on others.
Seeing that he still had the nerve to glare at him, Fu Ling'an felt a little resentful. Yongheng had been showing off quite a lot these days. It was already miserable for him that he couldn't get married, and now he had to help him write poems and still be glared at.
Fu Lingan felt bitter and sad.
When Yongheng and the wedding party were almost done with their poems urging them to get ready.
The Empress Dowager came with the Empress and all the concubines. The princess was getting married and was the Empress Dowager's apple of her eye, so no one dared to neglect her. Everyone kept saying festive words.
After Qing'er had finished putting on her makeup, Hejing took her to the Empress Dowager. Jingyan handed her the veil, and the Empress Dowager put it on Qing'er herself.
The old lady took the veil, looked at Qing'er carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.
There was unconcealable joy and reluctance in his eyes.
"Well, good boy, after today you will be an adult. May you live in harmony with your husband and wife and live a long and happy life."
Qing'er held back her tears, smiled and nodded, and told Princess Jing that one should not shed tears on such a happy day.
The old lady covered Qing'er with a veil, asked Qing'er to take the red apple that symbolized peace, and led her out.
At this time, Yongheng also completed the last poem to urge her to get ready. After being evaluated by the chief bridesmaid Jingyan, she finally opened the door reluctantly.
Yongheng rushed in hurriedly and saw Qing'er standing in the center, led by the Empress Dowager. Qing'er was wearing an exquisitely crafted bright red wedding dress and a veil on her head. She stood there very prettyly. Yongheng stopped suddenly, feeling a little nervous.
All the anxiety of the past few days disappeared the moment he saw Qing'er, and what was left was only nervousness, fearing that any big movement would offend the beauty.
Seeing how cautious he was, the old lady nodded with satisfaction.
She held Qing'er's hand and said, "Yongheng, I'll leave this good boy to you."
"Don't worry, Grandmother. I will treat Qing'er well and take care of her for the rest of my life."
Hearing this, Qing'er raised the corners of her mouth under the veil.
She felt her hand being held in a warm big palm by the old lady, and Qing'er was really nervous.
Yongheng carefully held Qing'er's hand, whispered some instructions, then picked up Qing'er and walked out with big strides.
Cheers erupted from the crowd. Yongheng hugged Qing'er and felt that he was ten times happier than if he had won a battle.
While everyone was looking at the bride and groom, only Fu Lingan had his eyes fixed on Jing Yan as soon as he entered the door.
Looking at Jingyan smiling and clapping, and then looking at Jingyan smiling and wiping tears, Fu Lingan just wanted to hug her in his arms immediately. He couldn't wait any longer and had to marry the princess as soon as possible.
Watching Yongheng carry Qing'er away, Jingyan's eyes were red. Her Qing'er and her brother would definitely be happy forever.
"Okay, you guys should go quickly." The old lady wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and urged Jingyan with a smile.
On the way back, Yongheng rode on a tall horse. Thinking that Qing'er was in the sedan chair behind him, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
Because Yongheng was extremely anxious, there was still some time before the auspicious time for the wedding ceremony. Looking at the people around him who were constantly congratulating him, Yongheng waved his hand and ordered the wedding procession to take a detour. He wanted to show off.
He got married today!
Mei Ruo prepared various wedding gifts, copper coins, and small change in advance, and put several baskets in them for the wedding procession, asking them to scatter them as they walked. The money was not much, but it was a sign of joy, and it would be best if everyone in the city could share their happiness.
The people were in high spirits for a while, and they took the red envelopes and kept shouting blessings.
Yongheng felt that he was the happiest person in the world.
Thinking of something, Yongheng looked at his brothers with some pride. Ertai was too far away to come back, so he would be the first one among them to get married.
"How's it going? Are you envious?"
This caused everyone to grit their teeth and say, "Just wait and see how we get you drunk so you can't have your wedding night!"
Yongheng smiled innocently and looked at Fu Ling'an: "Fu Ling'an, will you help me block the bar? I'm the groom."
Fu Lingan stared at Yongheng with cold eyes. How dare he do that?
"Of course I will help my brothers get you drunk."
"Hey! Fu Ling'an, don't forget that you haven't married yet! Whether you can marry my sister depends on whether I agree or not."
Yongheng is quite a villain who has achieved success.
Fu Lingan laughed angrily: "Let's not talk about what will happen to me in the future, but just based on your smugness, we brothers would be unworthy of being brothers if we don't get you drunk."
When the others heard this, they all shouted, "That's right! Get drunk!"
The pitiful Yongheng looked at his wedding party in disbelief. He felt so sad and abandoned. What was going on?
Fu Lingan chuckled, not knowing that because Yongheng was too excited and had been showing off for too long, his brothers had already been thinking of giving him a good beating.
I finally got the chance today, who would let it go?
