Steel Dynasty - Chapter 401

[Chapter 401 Night of Flowers and Candles]

Accompanied by the sound of drums, Luan Yiwei moved forward slowly.

Chang’an City is not big, and Fei’s Mansion and Xiao Ming’s Prince’s Mansion are not very far apart. Along the straight street, Fei Yue’er and his party gradually arrived at Prince Qi’s Mansion.

At this time, most of the guests from the palace who came to congratulate and have a drink had arrived. The sound of drums outside made Xiao Ming realize that Fei Yue’er was about to arrive.

The officials of the Ministry of Etiquette immediately became busy. From the engagement banquet to the wedding ceremony, the Ministry of Etiquette was responsible for the arrangements, which saved Xiao Ming a lot of trouble.

The sedan arrived quickly. The sedan got down and followed Luan Yiwei’s guard of honor to stop and move away, because there was basically nothing left for them to do.

Under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette, the accompanying female officials opened the bead curtain, helped Fei Yueer down from the sedan, and slowly led her into the prepared wedding room.

Aster and Lulu were already waiting outside the wedding room, and they also followed in to wait. When they saw Fei Yue’er coming, they both smiled. They knew their identities very well. They were just maids and were not qualified to be with the princess. Jealousy.

So they were happy that Xiao Ming married a virtuous and virtuous lady like Fei Yue’er, otherwise they might not have a good life in the future if someone powerful came to her.

“The princess has arrived, the banquet is about to begin!”

As soon as Fei Yue’er entered the wedding room, the official of the Ministry of Etiquette immediately shouted. According to the rules of the palace, when the prince gets married, sixty tables need to be set, and with an order.

The maids in the palace immediately brought all kinds of delicacies to the table. These maids were all from the palace, and the meals were also prepared by the chefs in the royal kitchen.

After struggling for a long time, Fei Yue’er entered the house, and Xiao Ming’s heart dropped. Although he wanted to enter the wedding room to communicate with Fei Yue’er now, he still couldn’t let these guests go.

So we could only go from one table to another, constantly paying respect to each other with tea instead of wine.

What surprised Xiao Ming was that this time, in addition to many vassal princes, several of his brothers also came. Whether they were the second prince or the third prince, all the princes in the capital were here.

He thought that maybe the signing of the certificate of surrender put pressure on the hearts of the princes and suspended their fights with each other.

The banquet lasted for two hours before all the guests gradually left.

The noisy palace gradually became quiet, and then Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief. However, although the marriage was complicated, he was still happy. After all, he was only single in his previous life.

Now that he finally has a family, it can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of his previous life, although this shortcoming was realized in a completely unfamiliar world.

And the most important thing is that there is a difference between living a life of two people without worrying about eating and drinking alone. The moment Fei Yueer walked in, he suddenly felt a sense of responsibility.

This sense of responsibility is to a kind of family.

“Your Highness, the remaining etiquette will be prepared by the two nuns who are left behind. I will take my leave soon.”

The three officials of the Ministry of Etiquette bowed to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming nodded, seeing that the three officials were a little excited, and said understandingly: “Thank you, you three. This is some wedding money. I hope you don’t dislike it.”

Festive events like weddings are often the favorite of officials from the Ministry of Etiquette. Because the Ministry of Rites is Qingshui Yamen, only at this time can you get some wedding money.

One of the officials took the silver note from Xiao Ming’s hand and smiled when he saw that it was one thousand taels. “Thank you, Your Highness. If you need anything in the future, just follow His Highness’ instructions.”

Xiao Ming smiled and nodded, and asked the servant to send three coins to him. People go out.

“Your Highness, it’s getting late, it’s time to meet the princess.”

As soon as the three officials left, the two nuns in the palace suddenly said gently.

The rules of the wedding night were naturally not suitable for men, so they could only be replaced by the old nuns in the palace.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming chuckled. He looked at the wedding room. In this room was the princess he was marrying.

Guided by the two nuns, he arrived at the wedding room.

At this time, the red candles were bright in the wedding room, and Fei Yueer was sitting on the edge of the bed in her dress.

She sat upright with her hands on her knees. Her red hijab and gold crown in her hair gave her a bejeweled look.

“Your Highness, it’s time to lift the hijab.”

A nun smiled and handed a jade Ruyi to Xiao Ming, indicating Xiao Ming to use Jade Ruyi to lift the hijab.

After taking Yu Ruyi, Xiao Ming was a little expectant, but also a little nervous. What he was looking forward to was what Fei Yue’er looked like. What was nervous was that they didn’t know each other, which was really embarrassing.

“Your Highness, hurry up.” The nuns covered their mouths and laughed.

Xiao Ming didn’t speak, just looked at Fei Yue’er and found that Fei Yue’er’s body was a little stiff, and the hands on her knees were clenched unconsciously, and she was obviously very nervous.

“The evil old society.” Xiao Ming was sad and happy, and he picked up Yu Ruyi and gently lifted the hijab.

The red hijab slowly slipped from Fei Yue’er’s head. First, there were clouds of black hair, then delicate willow eyebrows, big and smart eyes, slender nose bridge, red lips, and the alluring face unfolded like an ink painting.

“Looking back, you can smile and be charming, the pink and white in the Sixth Palace are colorless.” This is how Xiao Ming now evaluates Fei Yue’er.

In the palace, Xiao Ming has seen too many beauties, and he has also seen too many beautiful celebrities in modern times, and Fei Yue’er is comparable to the top ones, and the most important thing is that Fei Yue’er has a natural charm. Gentle qualities.

“The princess is indeed a rare beauty. Your Highness is so lucky.” The two nuns congratulated Xiao Ming.

At this time, Xiao Ming and Fei Yuer’s eyes were facing each other, sizing each other up, and seemed to take each other into their hearts.

The two nuns looked at each other and laughed, “Your Highness, Princess, there are still some etiquette below, otherwise it will be unlucky. Let’s leave after doing this, so as not to delay the good things of Your Highness and the Princess.”

These nuns were in the palace. Zhongdu is an experienced person who can say anything.

Such explicit words made both Fei Yue’er and Xiao Ming blush. They were as embarrassed as if they had just met for the first time on a blind date and the matchmaker persuaded them to go on a date.

After coughing, Xiao Ming said: “In that case, please ask the two nuns to take the trouble.”

Then the two nuns started the following procedures, such as tying the dress, eating dates, and handing over a glass of wine.

It took another half an hour for these tedious etiquette to end. Finally, Xiao Ming asked Luluo to give the two nuns money, and these matters came to an end.

The two nuns went out, Luluo, Ziyuan and Fei Yue’er’s maid Xiaohuan all walked out, leaving only Xiao Ming and Fei Yue’er sitting on the edge of the bed.

The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward. Fei Yue’er lowered his head and Xiao Ming looked up at the sky.

After a while, Xiao Ming coughed slightly and broke the dead silence. After all, women in the Chongqing country were very conservative, so he still needed to take the initiative.

“Princess, it’s getting late now, it’s time to get some rest.”

Xiao Ming didn’t know how he said this so shamelessly, and felt extremely embarrassed.
