Extra (Final)
Li Shu and Lin Yuan’s wedding date is set after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Because we didn't want to make a big deal about it, we didn't announce the date and didn't send out invitations.
They also did not follow the rule that they could not see each other for a period of time before the wedding. Lin Yuan and Li Shu lived in the same courtyard and lived next to each other.
But even though Lin Yuan came to the house and served as a son-in-law at home and a prince consort outside, Kong Sanniang still took care of the three books and six ceremonies for him, leaving nothing out.
He almost emptied Kong Sanniang's small treasury, which was even more than the scale of Ning Jin's marriage to Li Shu.
On the wedding day, Li Shu was awakened by Murong Hui.
Li Shu was quite surprised to hear Murong Hui's voice while she was sleeping and to see Murong Hui sitting on the edge of her bed when she opened her eyes.
"Why is it so early, Empress Dowager..."
"When Fei'er got married, the situation didn't allow it, so I couldn't see her off properly. Now that you're getting married again, even though the ceremony will be held in your house and there's no need to see her off, I still want to come early to watch you get dressed and then help you decorate your new home."
Murong Hui interrupted Li Shu and after Li Shu sat up, she reached out and touched her cheek. "You look better lately, and your face is rounder than before. It seems Lin Yuan has taken good care of you."
Li Shu laughed and retorted, "He didn't raise me, it was Aunt Gui who made me fat."
"Really? But I heard that he only studied cooking with Aunt Gui for less than three months, but he already mastered all the culinary skills that Aunt Gui spent most of her life to cultivate. And then whenever he has free time, he comes up with all sorts of new dishes for you."
"That was all in the past. Recently, Madam Gui has stopped letting him into the kitchen. She says a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, but in reality, she thinks he's taking away their jobs."
"..."
Murong Hui smiled and glanced at Lan Ruo.
Lan Ruo immediately opened the door and asked the person waiting outside to come in and help Li Shu wash and change clothes.
When Li Shu got married last time, although Murong Hui did not go to the Zhenbei General's Mansion to see her off in person, she asked Lan Ruo to bring a large group of people to dress her up.
Now Lan Ruo brought more people into her room than before.
Li Shu felt something was wrong immediately.
She had a hunch that after those people had dealt with her, she would be in great pain.
really.
After a few hours, after a series of tedious steps such as bathing, scrubbing, fumigating, and beating the face, Li Shu felt that she was no different from a freshly peeled egg, so tender and translucent.
After she put on her makeup and changed into her wedding dress, all the palace maids, nannies, servants and maids in the room blushed at her.
Even Murong Hui couldn't help but tease her, "Look at our bride! All the women in this room can't take their eyes off her. When we get to the wedding night, the groom will probably get a nosebleed when he sees her."
Li Shu couldn't imagine Lin Yuan bleeding from his nose, so she just smiled.
Who would have thought that after sending those who had nothing to do away away, Murong Hui would actually press a small porcelain bottle into her hand and whisper in her ear, "This is something I specially ordered the imperial physician to prepare for you. Keep it with you and take one pill if you feel overwhelmed at night."
Li Shu blinked, and after roughly understanding what was in the porcelain bottle, she suddenly felt it was extremely hot.
But Murong Hui called herself "Ai" in front of her, so she couldn't just let her go.
She could only blush and whisper, "Lin Yuan will definitely understand me."
"That's not necessarily true. He's been thinking about you for a long time, and it's so rare that he finally got what he wanted. He's already lucky enough not to lose his mind and torture you."
"The Queen Mother!"
"Oh, my little Ali, what second-marriage bride would be as shy as you."
Murong Hui couldn't help but pinch Li Shu's cheek again.
But she moved very gently for fear of ruining Li Shu's makeup.
Then Lan Ruo brought the veil over.
Murong Hui didn't reach out to take it immediately, but continued, "I heard that after you get married, you plan to leave Beijing and travel around?"
"Ah."
"When do you want to leave?"
"Not yet. Lin Yuan is still planning the route."
"Since the route hasn't been decided yet, why don't you come with me to Fenglan first?"
"..."
Li Shu was stunned for a moment before she asked with joy, "Can the Queen Mother go to Fenglan to see Fei'er?"
Murong Hui nodded. "You are generally aware of the Queen's abilities. I have no worries about leaving the harem to her."
"Alright! We're also going to head straight for Fenglan first!"
"Then do you know that Fei'er is pregnant?"
"I don't know. I just received a letter from Fei'er a few days ago, and there was no mention of it in the letter."
"Perhaps it's because your wedding is approaching and she doesn't want to distract you. But she sent over twenty letters to her brother, all of them expedited, exceeding eight hundred miles, against all regulations. They all cried and begged her brother to let me go and be with her, saying she was suffering from morning sickness all day and might not even be able to see me."
"Is it that serious?"
Li Shu's expression changed.
When she was pregnant before, she took abortion pills even though she hadn't experienced morning sickness yet.
But she had seen herself in a dream being tortured by morning sickness.
So I was extremely worried about Yin Feier's situation.
But Murong Hui added, "The people sent by the Emperor also sent back a letter saying that Helian Feng sent dozens of female doctors to take care of her every step of the way. She didn't have any morning sickness at all. I guess she was just missing home after getting pregnant and was acting like a spoiled brat with her brother."
Li Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Murong Hui said, "Since Fei'er didn't mention the pregnancy in her letter to you, then she probably didn't tell you that Yin Qiang'er was crazy, right?"
"Yes, but the people Lin Yuan sent over have already sent back news. Calculating the time, it seems that Lin Qi went crazy during the month that the late emperor imprisoned and tortured him."
"It's all her own fault. Originally, after she went to Fenglan, if she had given up her thoughts and honestly accepted the marriage arranged for her by Helian Feng, even if Fei'er didn't look after her, with the status of a princess and a sister like Fei'er who was the Crown Princess, her husband's family would not have dared to openly torture her. But she was determined to marry Helian Feng with Fei'er. She made a lot of trouble before she accepted her fate and married him. And after she got married, she didn't stop, making her husband's family lose face. Then she suddenly changed back to her old self, even uglier than before. It would be strange if her husband's family didn't torture her secretly. I don't know whether she drove herself crazy because of her ambition that couldn't be achieved, or whether her husband's family tortured her crazy."
"..."
Li Shu smiled and said nothing.
Yin Qiang'er actually went crazy because of Lin Yuan's medicine.
When she sent the sixteen people to the palace to Fei'er, she gave the medicine made by Lin Yuan to one of them.
If Yin Qiang'er acts mischievously to the point of hurting Fei'er after arriving at Fenglan, she will be close to going crazy.
And death is not far away.
After that, Murong Hui had just taken the veil from the tray in Lan Ruo's hand and was about to stand up to cover Li Shu with it when Aunt Yaofang came into the room with a pile of gift lists, "This old servant greets the Empress Dowager."
"Flat body."
"Princess, these people who brought gifts are not invited. Would you like to invite them to the banquet?"
"Show me first."
After Li Shu finished speaking, she casually stuffed the porcelain bottle in her hand into her waist belt.
After looking through the gift lists one by one, she was completely confused.
She knew everyone.
They are all important ministers in the court.
But those people were not familiar with her or the Zhenbei General's Mansion.
How could they receive such a generous gift today?
She didn't even send them wedding invitations...
But soon, after seeing a pattern on one of the gift lists, she guessed why those people sent gifts today.
If Lin Yuan wants to sit on the throne.
Those people will be Lin Yuan's helpers.
But Lin Yuan had no interest in the throne, and didn't even want to return to his ancestral home. Those people were using the gift-giving act as a way to show their loyalty to the new emperor.
Therefore, Li Shu accepted the gifts calmly and said to Yao Fang, "Aunt, just ask them directly. If they are willing to stay for a glass of wedding wine, then invite them to the table."
"Yes."
After Yaofang left, Li Shu showed the gift lists to Murong Hui.
Murong Hui had obviously learned those things from Yin Hengyou.
After reading it, he just smiled and asked, "You and Lin Yuan really don't plan to have children?"
"For now, yes."
"If you don't have children, Lin Yuan and his family's lineage will be cut off. If you have children in the future, I don't think you would want them to recognize their ancestors, right?"
"Ah."
"Then it would be wise for these people to completely let go of their burdens at this time."
After saying that, Murong Hui stood up and helped Li Shu put on the veil, and then said, "The Emperor and the Empress should be here soon. I'll go to the front yard first."
Li Shu said "hmm", watched Murong Hui leave, turned her head and looked through the veil at Aunt Gui who was secretly wiping her tears on the side.
Then Cui Wei whispered, "Madam, are you crying for joy?"
"Of course! I once thought our young lady would live out the rest of her life alone! Fortunately, Lin Yuan is so good-looking that he caught the young lady's eye."
"..."
Li Shu thought to herself that she was not blinded by Lin Yuan's appearance!
But before she could open her mouth to refute, Cuiwei asked again, "Mammy, when you just went out, did you see Lin Yuan waiting outside the courtyard? When he started wearing white clothes, we privately said that he was more handsome than a banished immortal. We didn't expect that he would be even more handsome in a bright red wedding dress! I'm afraid that except for our young lady's bride, no other bride in the world can be more beautiful than him! I'm sure that when the young lady sees him later, she will be so stunned that she can't take her eyes off him!"
"Impossible! I couldn't take my eyes off him when I first saw him. Now that we're so familiar with each other, how could I not take my eyes off him?"
Li Shu blurted out a rebuttal to Cuiwei.
But Cuiwei rushed to her and said with great confidence: "Miss, you will know when you see Linyuan later!"
Li Shu disagreed.
However, when the auspicious time was approaching, she walked out of the door on the red carpet with the support of Aunt Gui. When she saw Lin Yuan who had been waiting outside, she really could not take her eyes off his face for a long time.
Even when she walked closer and took one end of the red silk from his hand, her heart started pounding just by the slightest touch of his fingers.
Like a young girl who has just fallen in love, she was so nervous during the wedding ceremony that she felt like she was walking on clouds.
When Lin Yuan held her hand and led her into the new house, her heart was beating like a drum.
But when Lin Yuan lifted her veil and saw that his face and ears were redder than ever before against the backdrop of his bright red bride, she inexplicably calmed down and asked him with a smile, "How long do you want to stare at me like this? Don't you plan to drink the wedding wine?"
"I want to drink it."
As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, Cuiwei brought over the cup of wine.
It's still early.
Moreover, Murong Hui and Yin Hengyou and his wife have not left yet.
After drinking the wedding wine, Lin Yuan was dragged out by Kong Sanniang to entertain the guests.
When he returned to the bridal chamber, Li Shu's neck was already sore from wearing the phoenix crown.
