On the last day of the deadline given by Ning Qingyan, before dusk, several cartloads of boxes were pulled in from the Xiao Mansion.
Naturally, Ning Qingyan accepted it unceremoniously and ordered Li Yangzhou to check it carefully and compare everything.
After this matter was reported back to the Xiao Mansion, it aroused the resentment of the Xiao mother and daughter!
Today is the wedding day of Ning Qingyan and Prince Ding.
Compared with the normal process, this wedding that attracted the attention of people in Zhongdu was really too hasty.
It was less than ten days from the issuance of the imperial edict to the wedding day.
There are even rumors in the market that the emperor asked the two houses to get married as soon as possible because he was worried that Prince Ding would not be able to bear it and would die before the bride could get married.
Regarding this, the people of Zhongdu, who had just gotten rid of the impression that the eldest daughter of the Ning family was a fool, felt regretful in their hearts.
However, it had only been a few days, and they still remembered the girl who exposed Xiao Ruyi's true face at the gate of Ning's Mansion that day and promptly broke off her engagement with the Crown Prince of Zhou.
That day was the first time they were amazed by this 'silly girl' from the Ning family.
Now that I think about it, I feel like there was a layer of light surrounding that beautiful girl.
Such a woman is now going to marry a sick prince who is going to die at any time?
Thinking of this, the people in Zhongdu sympathized with Ning Qingyan.
There were even many people who secretly scolded Emperor Dahao for being a dishonest person... How could he marry a girl from the same family to his nephew first and then to his younger brother?
What's more, His Majesty the Emperor's younger brother is still judged not to live long!
Miss Ning is pitiful, and so is the Ning family!
While people outside were busy feeling sorry for Ning Qingyan, and everyone in Ning's house was busy posting red ribbons and greeting cards, Ning Qingyan and Li Yangzhou came to her grandfather's room together.
After seven days of detoxification, although the toxins in Ning Yan's body have not been eliminated, her complexion is much better.
However, Ning Yan's mind was still unclear and confused.
"The old general is still drowsy." Li Yangzhou sighed.
Ning Qingyan was not surprised: "In the past ten years, a lot of toxins have been deposited in my grandfather's body. These seven days have only stopped the toxins from eating away at his body. I'm afraid I have to wait a few more days to wake up.
.”
Li Yangzhou nodded, but said with some regret: "I thought that the old general would be sober enough to send the young lady off to get married today."
Ning Qingyan blinked, not paying much attention to this.
For her, the wedding was just so that she could get close to her 'husband' legitimately, consummate the marriage smoothly, and break the curse of 'Kun Yuan Ti' so that she could practice cultivation.
In the past few days, she soaked her body with medicinal herbs to cleanse her marrow during the day, and introduced her spirit into her body at night, but there was no obvious change.
She has finally realized how powerful the ‘Kun Yuan Ti’ is!
Simply stubborn!!
After many days, she had not even entered the first stage of "The Transformation of Immortals and Demons", and she was so angry!
'The marriage must be consummated! The matter must be settled tonight!' Ning Qingyan made a secret decision in her heart.
…
"Miss!"
Ban Xia came in a hurry and stood outside the door urging Ning Qingyan, "The auspicious time is coming, please go back to bathe and dress up."
She was also very helpless!
Today is the big wedding, and the whole government is preparing for it. However, as the bride, the young lady does not panic at all, as if she is not the one getting married.
"Isn't it still early?" Ning Qingyan touched the tip of her nose and looked up at the sky.
"It's getting late. You still need to take a shower, cleanse your face, and dress up... After this, time is running out." Ban Xia said anxiously.
Li Yangzhou also said: "Miss, please go with Banxia."
Ning Qingyan clicked her tongue and cursed in her heart: "This marriage is really troublesome!"
…
In the courtyard, the bathing pool is filled with mist.
Ning Qingyan was pulled into the bathtub by four girls, washed carefully, and then put on the wedding dress prepared by the royal family under their service.
There were no female elders in the Ning Mansion to make the decision, so the royal family thoughtfully sent a highly respected concubine to marry Ning Qingyan, which was considered as giving the Ning Mansion enough face.
Weddings are all held according to royal standards.
For the first time in her life, Ning Qingyan was dizzy by these complicated rituals. She wanted to give up the job several times.
However, when she thought that tonight was the key to solving her 'Kun Yuan Body', she had to endure it.
Finally, after she had finished combing her hair into a complicated bun, filled it with beads and flowers, and dressed up, news came from outside that the marriage team from Prince Ding's Mansion had arrived.
"Quick, quick, send off the bride——!"
The nun who followed the old concubine out of the palace and the ice man in charge of the royal wedding started shouting loudly.
Immediately afterwards, Ning Qingyan felt herself being picked up by the four maids and helped them out.
No wonder she had the illusion of being picked up.
After putting on her wedding dress and phoenix crown, she felt that her body had become much heavier.
In front of his eyes, his sight was blocked by red silk again, leaving only a patch of red.
As soon as Ning Qingyan stepped out of the courtyard, musicians in red wedding clothes played festive music.
Crash--
Ning Qingyan only heard the sound of something falling on the floor, and through the gaps under the red headscarf, she saw clearly the various red dates, peanuts... and other things at her feet.
Click!
"..." Under the red hijab, Ning Qingyan's delicately made-up face looked indifferent as she stepped on the fruits on the ground.
On both sides, the happy ladies threw out auspicious words for free.
Red dates, peanuts, melons and fruits paved the road, and music and drums blared, sending Ning Qingyan towards the gate of Ning Mansion.
At this time, outside Ning Mansion, within the boundary of the stone monument where the horses were dismounted, a four-carriage was parked as an exception.
The necks of four equally tall horses were tied with flower clusters made of red silk. The carriage pulled behind them further demonstrated the royal luxury and nobility.
The car was covered tightly and you couldn't see inside.
But everyone who came to watch knew that in the carriage sat the reclusive and extremely weak King Ding!
It stands to reason that when the groom comes to pick up the bride, he has to ride on a big horse.
However, the emperor took pity on King Ding's health, so he allowed him to ride in a carriage to pick up his bride.
The welcoming team and the royal guards stood neatly in front and behind the carriage. Further away, there were the people of Zhongdu and the dignitaries who came to see the excitement.
Xiao Ruyi also wore a veil and hid in the crowd, staring fiercely at the carriage and the open door of Ning Mansion.
She wished she could have ordered the sudden death of the king on the spot, and then give Ning Qingyan the reputation of a 'lonely evil star'!
While everyone was waiting eagerly, a figure wearing a wedding dress finally appeared at the door of Ning's mansion. Just when Xi Niang was about to help Ning Qingyan walk to the carriage, a figure suddenly jumped out and stood in front of the carriage.
"Uncle Emperor, you are inconvenient, why not let your nephew carry the bride on the carriage for you."
Oh!
Ning Qingyan, who was covered in red silk, guessed his identity as soon as she heard the voice.
Zhao Xingyao!
As soon as Zhao Xingyao's words came out, there was an uproar, and Xiao Ruyi in the crowd was so angry that his face turned blue under the veil!
"No need, I will carry my king's wife freely." A clear and moving voice came from the quiet carriage.
Ning Qingyan frowned. Where had she heard this voice before?
