Chapter 280 Zhao Zhe also never wants to get involved
When welcoming the bride, Zhao Xun also followed the royal rules. He did not deduct anything, but he also did not add anything.
On both sides of the street, because of Zhao Xun's displeasure, some people drove him along the way, and there were not many people following him to pick up money.
In short, the wedding ceremony was more solemn than festive.
However, no one dared to say anything when he did this.
The people along the street just said that the prince may need to be so solemn when welcoming his bride.
After the ceremony, Zhao Xun led Li Xiangnan into the bridal chamber.
Li Xiangnan held a mandarin duck playing in the water fan in her hand, half-covering her face, and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"His Royal Highness, Prince Qi, please give me a fan."
Two matchmakers followed and acted according to the rules.
Zhao Xun took the scale beam and pushed the fan away from Li Xiangnan's hand.
Li Xiangnan raised her eyes and looked at him shyly, but saw that he didn't even look at her, his brows were slightly furrowed, looking very impatient.
She felt a pain in her heart and lowered her eyes sadly.
She doesn't please her husband as soon as she enters the house, and there are so many concubines in the back house. It seems that my mother is right when she says getting married is just the beginning.
"His Royal Highness King Qi and Princess Qi please drink the combined wine!"
The matchmaker spoke again and handed the wine cups into their hands.
Li Xiangnan held the wine cup and looked at Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
The matchmaker holding the tray wanted to say that this is not how Hexin wine is drunk, but the matchmaker in front stopped him.
Li Xiangnan looked at the matchmaker at a loss. Her family had also taught her that when drinking wine, one should drink glasses of wine. This...
The matchmaker raised his hand slightly.
Li Lainan had no choice but to lift the wine cup and drink it all in one gulp.
The matchmaker collected the wine cup and placed it under the bed.
"Your Highness King Qi, please take a seat."
The matchmaker spoke again.
Zhao Xun sat down next to Li Xiangnan.
The matchmaker sings: "The wedding ceremony."
Then he took the scissors, cut off a section of their hair, wrapped it with the red rope, tied it into a concentric knot, and handed it to Li Xiangnan: "Please put Princess Qi under the pillow and put it away tomorrow."
Li Lainan felt faintly excited, restrained the trembling in her hands, took the concentric knot, and placed it squarely under the pillow.
"His Royal Highness King Qi and Princess Qi please take a short break. Later, someone will come and ask His Highness to come to the front."
The two matchmakers bowed, bowed their heads and left.
When getting married, a moment will be left for the two newlyweds to talk first.
After all, in Dayuan, when many men and women get married, it may be the second time they meet.
Naturally, we need to get familiar with each other first, so as to prepare the ground for the wedding night.
It was quiet in the new house. Li Xiangnan was sitting upright. She could hear her heartbeat. She wanted to see Zhao Xun beside her.
But thinking of his impatient look just now, she lost the courage to raise her head.
After who knows how long, she called out as quietly as a mosquito: "Your Highness..."
Zhao Xun turned sideways and looked at her: "Raise your head."
Li Lainan slowly raised his head, his heart was pounding, his face was flushed, and he glanced at him with evasive eyes.
Zhao Xun was silent for a while.
"Your Highness..." Li Xiangnan took a deep breath and pondered for a moment before speaking: "What happened back then was just an accident. I didn't expect that things would turn out like this. Seventh Sister..."
She wanted to explain what happened in the guest house on Mrs. Li's birthday party.
"The matter has passed, there is no need to mention it again." Zhao Xun raised his hand and interrupted her: "Now, you have stepped into the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion.
From now on, you and I will be in the same boat. Your heart is towards me, right?"
"Your Highness knows my feelings, how could I not show my feelings to Your Highness?" Li Xiangnan was somewhat eager to express her feelings.
"Of course I understand how you treat me." Zhao Xun's tone gradually returned to his usual gentleness and warmth: "Are you willing to do something for me?"
"Your Highness, just ask." Li Xiangnan said softly: "It is my duty to share your concerns with Your Highness. As long as Your Highness does not dislike it, I will do my best."
Zhao Xun pondered for a moment and said: "Wait a while, after I go to the front, your sisters and the girls you are friends with will come to the room."
"Yes." Li Xiangnan also knew the next rule.
On the big day, it is also fun for the girls to sit in the room and chat with the newlyweds.
"When the time comes, think of an excuse." Zhao Xun softened his tone: "Leave Li Can alone and send everyone else to the front."
Li Xiangnan was stunned: "What does Your Highness want to do?"
Zhao Xun paused for a moment and said, "When the time comes, Zhang Chuan will come in and take her to the next door. Just pretend you haven't seen her and don't worry about the rest."
"Your Highness is talking about Zhang Chuanyou, the legitimate son of Sheng Anbo Mansion?" Li Xiangnan was surprised.
Not only was the Sheng'an family passed down to three generations, but Zhang Chuanyou's grandfather and father are no longer here.
The widowed grandmother and mother at home guarded Zhang Chuan's single seedling, which was afraid of melting if she held it in her mouth. They always wanted the stars but not the moon.
Zhang Chuanyou has been domineering and overbearing since he was a child. When he grew up, he became even more lustful and romantic. He often molested women in the street, hung out in various brothels, and stayed out all night. He was notorious in the imperial capital.
Li Xiangnan was afraid.
Zhao Xun asked her to keep Li Can, and also asked Zhang Chuanyou to take him away. Wasn't this an attempt to ruin Li Can's reputation?
This is no small matter, how dare she?
If His Highness the Crown Prince knew about it, she would be afraid that her life would be in danger.
But she had just married, and this was Zhao Xun's first request to her, and Zhao Xun's attitude had already softened.
If she can't nod in agreement, I'm afraid it will be difficult to please him in the future.
"Yes." Zhao Xun looked at her gently: "Can Xiang'er do it?"
Li Xiangnan's heart skipped a beat and her face turned red: "But if the seventh sister's reputation is harmed, I'm afraid even the sisters in the family will not be able to please her.
Also, the maid in front of Seventh Sister is also very powerful. Will she..."
She didn't have the guts to refuse directly, so she could only beat around the bush.
"You don't have to worry about any of this." Zhao Xun looked at her and said, "Just leave her alone for me. I have arranged the other things so that no one will know about it.
Now, just tell me if you can do it?"
The corners of his lips were raised slightly, and he looked like he was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Li Xiangnan's pushing and blocking had made him unhappy.
Li Xiangnan hesitated for a moment and said, "I will follow His Highness's arrangements."
"I knew Xiang'er wouldn't let me down." Zhao Xun reached out and gently stroked her face, feeling very satisfied.
Since he can't get Li Can, he will destroy it.
If he can't get his hands on something, Zhao Zhen can't get his hands on it.
