After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 371: The Wedding Must Be Consummated

For the wedding of the retired emperor's most beloved daughter, the Imperial Household Department and the Ministry of Rites put in their best efforts in preparation for the ceremony. A thousand guards were dispatched just for the procession of the princess to welcome her husband. It could be said that this was the most sensational wedding of the retired emperor's daughter.

Princess Wanping sat on the phoenix chariot bestowed by the emperor.

Meng Qianqian chased after him, "Princess."

Princess Wanping's veil was made of transparent red shark gauze, which made her stunning beauty vaguely visible.

She turned around and looked at Meng Qianqian: "What's the matter?"

Meng Qianqian smiled: "I want to go with the princess to welcome the bride."

Princess Wanping: "You want to take a ride back to the Governor's Mansion, right?"

Meng Qianqian: Sure enough, the princess who has lost her love-brain is so smart!

Princess Wanping gathered the wide sleeves of her wedding dress and said, "Come up."

The phoenix chariot was big enough, and in addition to Princess Wanping, female official Ying was also on the chariot.

She is worthy of being a princess.

The servants were going to move the sedan chair, and Meng Qianqian jumped onto the sedan chair easily.

Servant: Uh... I forgot that Madam Lu is one of the Twelve Guards.

The phoenix chariot bestowed by the emperor was different from the sedan chairs used by the common people. Under the jeweled canopy, there were not three walls and one curtain, but curtains on all four sides.

A layer of bead curtain and a layer of gauze.

The beaded curtain was rolled up high, and the golden gauze curtain swayed in the cold wind.

Meng Qianqian asked with concern: "Princess, are you cold?"

Princess Wanping held her hands warm and glanced at her: "What do you think?"

"It's really cold, how about we put down the curtains?"

Meng Qianqian asked.

Princess Wanping said, "It's rare for common people to see a royal wedding."

Meng Qianqian sighed: "The princess is really dedicated to her duties."

Princess Wanping: "Stop flattering me."

Meng Qianqian jumped off the phoenix sedan chair and left.

Princess Wanping pinched her fingers and said inwardly, "Didn't I say that you can't even stand this? I've spoiled you!"

The female official asked cautiously, "Princess, the auspicious time has arrived. Can we set off now?"

Princess Wanping looked at Meng Qianqian who got into the carriage of the Governor's Mansion without looking back and said coldly, "Let's go."

The female official said: "Open the sedan chair——"

The phoenix sedan was lifted up steadily by sixteen imperial guards.

Princess Wanping has always been aloof and proud. There are many people in the capital who curry favor with her, and there are many banquets in her mansion, which are always packed with people.

However, there are only a handful of people who truly share her heart.

Others' weddings were arranged by their biological mothers and they were sent off by their good friends, but she was alone.

I don’t feel it on ordinary days, but when the happiest day of my life comes, I suddenly feel lonely.

call out!

The veil was lifted and a small figure came in.

Meng Qianqian sat down panting, and dropped the pile of sachets in her arms onto the mat.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

She rubbed her hands, took off her cloak and covered Princess Wanping's clothes.

Princess Wanping was stunned: "You...didn't leave? These are..."

"I'm going to get something!"

Meng Qianqian grabbed a brocade bag and stuffed it into Princess Wanping's hand warmer. "This is a hot water bottle. Manager Cen asked someone to make one. It's small and doesn't take up much space in your pocket. It's like a brocade bag when you hang it on your body. It's very warm."

Princess Wanping's palms felt warm.

Meng Qianqian took advantage of the cover of the cloak and stuffed the hot water bottle under Princess Wanping's wedding dress.

"I'll tie a few on your legs, too."

This was invented by Nanny Li so that Lu Yuan could hang it on his legs to keep warm when he went to court.

Although Lu Yuan didn't use it much, Nanny Li always kept it ready for him.

Now, it comes in handy, doesn’t it?

Princess Wanping felt warm everywhere, from the palms of her hands to the backs of her feet.

Even the long-forgotten heart seemed to be seeped in with a hint of warmth.

Princess Wanping's lips moved: "Meng Xiaojiu, are you so nice to everyone?"

Meng Qianqian imitated the Miao King and waved her hand: "I am very picky, I don't like ordinary people!"

Princess Wanping snorted: "You have good taste."

-

After Ji Li was blocked by King Miao and Chen Long, he was forcibly sent back to Feng Shui Hutong.

The Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department had already renovated his residence, painted it red, pasted wedding characters on it, and hung big red lanterns.

He has a destiny with five disadvantages and three deficiencies: he has no father, no mother, and no brothers or sisters.

The word "happiness" in the yard looks particularly deserted.

Ji Li was helped by palace servants to change into her wedding dress.

He had white hair and picturesque features, and against the backdrop of his bright red wedding gown, he looked extremely charming.

The palace maids blushed and dared not look at the groom again.

Chen Long was guarding the door with a heavy sword on his back.

Ji Li said unhappily, "Why are you guarding me? I won't run away!"

Being bewitched by the Miao King, why not try running away?

Chen Long: "I'll send you to the bridal sedan."

Ji Li: "Fuck you!"

Soon, Ji Li discovered that not only Chen Long was going to send him to the bridal sedan, but even the long-lost Wei Yang and Hai Zhu were coming.

Wei Yang joined Prime Minister Xun, but was not involved in the Chu family's case, nor did he have the chance to do anything evil for Prime Minister Xun. He was beaten with a hundred sticks and released from prison.

As for Hai Zhu, he was granted amnesty and temporarily free.

Wei Yang said, "We are all from the Twelve Guards. We are here to congratulate you on your wedding."

Ji Li turned his face away: "I don't care."

After a pause, he glared at the three people and asked, "Where is the gift?"

Chen Long threw him a brocade box.

Ji Li opened it and took a look. His eyes widened instantly. "Feng Shui compass? This one looks even better than the one I had before... Could it be the legendary Tiangang compass? Where did you get it?"

Chen Long said: "It was snatched from Qianji Pavilion."

Ji Li's expression changed in an instant: "Good brother!"

With the Feng Shui compass, his luck will come back! Woo ha ha!

"What about yours?"

His face darkened and he looked at the Sheep and the Pig seriously.

Wei Yang shook his head: "I followed the Prime Minister, but before I could make a fortune, he got into trouble. However, I can still afford the share of money."

As he said this, he threw five copper coins to Ji Li.

Ji Li: "Are you sending away beggars?"

Wei Yang: "There is gold, too."

The Dragon and the Pig rushed forward and held down the Sheep who was trying to take the gold with their four hands.

Finally, there is the Pig.

Haizhu scratched his head: "You can't accept the gift money. I'm not like Chenlong who has the ability to snatch treasures from Qianji Pavilion. I can only give you a wooden sculpture made by myself."

He took out a wooden sculpture carefully wrapped in silk cloth from his wide sleeves.

As they peeled off the silk cloth layer by layer, they were shocked to find that the person carved on the wood carving was none other than General Chu, who was wearing a bamboo hat and holding a sword, standing on the top of the mountain.

Looking at the lifelike wood carvings, past experiences flashed through the minds of several people.

Those were the days when they were forced to work hard, but they were also the most passionate life.

"Old Pig, Old Sheep, please come back."

Ji Li suddenly spoke.

The two were stunned.

Chen Long also looked at Ji Li.

Ji Li said: "Don't you think that the death of the Grand Marshal was also a move by him?"

"What does that mean?" asked the Pig.

Ji Li analyzed: "The Black Armor Army disappeared overnight. Have you ever thought about where the Black Armor Army went? Outsiders don't know, but you and I know clearly that the Black Armor Army is the Black Armor Army and the Twelve Guards are the Twelve Guards. There is no hierarchical relationship between them. We cannot command the Black Armor Army, so the Black Armor Army must have received an order from the Grand Marshal."

Wei Yang asked: "What does this have to do with us?"

Ji Li weighed the wooden sculpture in his hand and said, "Don't you want to know what the Grand Marshal has planned? Perhaps even the split of the Twelve Guards is part of his plan. Only when the Twelve Guards are reunited will we be qualified to see him, or rather, to see the new master he has chosen for the Twelve Guards."

After hearing his words, the three of them fell silent.

Wei Yang smiled and said, "I don't like to meddle in other people's affairs. I only care about my own freedom. I am not as loyal as you, but your words have successfully aroused my curiosity. I really want to know what kind of plan the Grand Marshal has set up. I will join in."

Ji Li looked at Hai Zhu again: "What about you?"

Haizhu sighed, "I am different from you. Not only am I not loyal enough, but I am also a complete traitor. My existence will only bring shame to the Twelve Guards and make Marshal Chu restless in his grave. He probably won't want me to come back."

Ji Li spread his hands: "It's no use for you to confess to us. You have to confess to the Grand Marshal, to the new Lord of the Twelve Guards he chooses, and let him judge your life and death."

Haizhu asked suspiciously, "Will there really be a new Lord of the Twelve Guards?"

Ji Li said: "Whether it is true or not, you will know if you try it."

The Pig hesitated for a moment and shook his head again: "I'm afraid that before the day comes when all the twelve guards are gathered, the Snake will kill me."

Ji Li said to him: "Don't worry about this. I just want to ask you, are you willing to join us?"

Haizhu looked at the three people and made a certain decision: "You may not know that after framing the Chu family, I have been repenting every night. I have always wanted to end my life, but in my heart, I feel that I am not qualified to do so."

"My life is not my own, it belongs to the Grand Marshal, and only he can take my life away. If Ji Li's guess is correct, and he has chosen a new master for the Twelve Guards, then he will judge me, and no matter how I die, I will be at peace."

"So, if you all have no objection, I'm willing to come back."

-

The grand wedding procession arrived at Fengshui Hutong with the beating of gongs and drums.

The eyes of the onlookers widened.

Is this the second wedding in Fengshui Hutong this year?

For the first time, a governor’s wife appeared.

The second time, a princess and her husband appeared.

Where is the haunted house?

Are you sure it’s not a Feng Shui treasure land?

"Li Baoren, are there any houses for sale in the alley? I want to buy one."

"I also want!"

"No, Brother Hu, Brother Zhang, you two don't need a house. I'm new to the capital and I'm looking for a place to settle down..."

Li Baoren: "Sorry, no more."

"What does it mean to be gone?"

Li Baoren said: "That's right, all the houses inside have been bought!"

The buyer is Meng Qianqian.

Granny Feng and Uncle Lei like quietness, so Meng Qianqian bought all the empty houses so as not to disturb the peace of the neighbors.

Now it seems that the original decision was absolutely correct.

Princess Wanping gave her husband enough face and went in person to greet him. If you change their positions, it would be roughly equivalent to the groom personally carrying the bride into the bridal sedan.

According to custom, they should block the door and embarrass her, but the problem is that no one has the courage to do so.

As soon as Ji Li walked out of the alley, the people exclaimed in surprise, louder than Princess Wanping's cheers.

"The prince consort is so handsome!"

"The consorts of Princess Anyang and Princess Chengyang are also handsome, but they are far inferior to the consort of Princess Wanping."

Ji Li liked to hear this.

He opened his folding fan with a snap and got on the phoenix sedan in an imposing manner.

Meng Qianqian looked at his handsome appearance and couldn't help but ask Princess Wanping in a low voice: "What do you like about him?"

Princess Wanping said without hesitation: "She is pretty, easy to feed, and she won't covet anything from me."

He could only take five copper coins a day, and he couldn't even hide his pocket money, for if he did he would be struck by lightning.

Anyone who wants anything more from her will be struck by lightning.

Compared to those black-hearted prince consorts who plotted against the princess's dowry and even wished the princess dead, it's hard to find another one like Ji Li even with a lantern.

"Since we are all going to marry a prince consort, let's just marry him. At least he is pure."

Meng Qianqian blinked: "Princess, are you trying to say... Ji Li is stupid?"

Princess Wanping: "...Don't talk about my consort like that."

-

The grand wedding shocked the entire capital.

The number of people lining the streets to welcome him was greater than that of the emperor and empress on the day they came.

It’s not surprising when you think about it. One is a legitimate princess who is almost an old maid, and the other is one of the Twelve Guards, a mysterious army. Who wouldn’t want to see the two of them?

The common people came to watch the fun, and they didn't expect the two of them to be so outstanding in appearance. Who would have thought that they would be amazed all the way.

The princess is as beautiful as a fairy, and the prince consort is like a banished immortal. They are truly a perfect match made in heaven.

The two of them entered the palace to pay their respects.

Eunuch Fu: "Bow to heaven and earth——"

The emperor was overjoyed.

She got married. Finally, this old girl got married.

Princess Wanping and Ji Li bowed to heaven and earth.

Eunuch Fu: "Bow to your parents..."

The two turned around and faced the emperor.

Princess Wanping bowed without hesitation.

Ji Li felt a little unsure. He had no relatives in his destiny. The last person he recognized as his uncle was killed by him the next day.

By now the grass on the grave is probably seven feet high.

Fortunately, after paying homage to the emperor with trepidation, nothing happened.

Eunuch Fu: "Husband and wife bow to each other——"

The husband and wife bowed to each other and everything was peaceful.

Ji Li thought to himself, "Could it be that Xiao Yinhu is right, that only the royal family can suppress his fate?"

After all the ceremonies were completed, the two returned to the princess's mansion.

"Hahaha! Is he Wanping's consort? My dear brother-in-law, from now on, we are a family!"

A man in elegant clothes walked over with a smile on his face.

Wan Ping introduced: "My third brother."

Ji Li bowed and said, "Hello, Third Brother."

click!

The branches were broken by the accumulated snow and knocked down the Third Prince with a loud bang.

The Third Prince was hit so hard that his head was bleeding, his limbs were shaking, he was foaming at the mouth, and his eyes were rolling wildly.

Ji Li: It seems that not just any royal family can suppress it...

The princess's mansion held a grand banquet, which was filled with guests and was extremely lively.

Princess Wanping went to the bridal chamber to rest for a while.

Meng Qianqian came to see her: "Princess, what are your plans next?"

Princess Wanping gave her a strange look and said, "Of course it's the bridal chamber."

Meng Qianqian was stunned: "Cave, bridal chamber?"

What I'm asking about is not this, but the story just now, the story!

Princess Wanping asked, "After the wedding ceremony, we will have the bridal chamber, isn't that right?"

Meng Qianqian hesitated and said, "Are you serious?"

Princess Wanping was puzzled: "How could such a thing be false?"

Meng Qianqian: “…”

Princess Wanping looked at Meng Qianqian deeply and said, "You two...are you guys getting married in a fake way?"

Meng Qianqian said seriously, "How is that possible? My husband and I are in love and we have already consummated our marriage!"

Princess Wanping asked Lady Ying to get a blue and white porcelain candied fruit jar. "It's for driving away the cold. I don't like ginger soup, so I asked the imperial physician to make ginger pills. You gave me all the soup bottles on the way and froze all the way. I don't want to owe you a favor."

Meng Qianqian tasted one and said, "It's really spicy."

The scent of ginger was strong, and her frozen body instantly warmed up.

Princess Wanping gave her the jar and said, "Take it and eat it. Remember not to eat too much or you will get angry."

"Thank you princess."

Meng Qianqian held the jar of ginger pills and ate the ginger pills in her mouth.

Princess Wanping looked at her as she couldn't stop eating, and hesitated to speak: "...Are you not leaving yet?"

Meng Qianqian: "You're chasing me away?"

Princess Wanping: "What else? You stay and watch me and my husband consummate our marriage?"

Meng Qianqian held the jar and walked away quickly.

Lady Ying brought over another candied fruit jar and asked in confusion, "Princess, this bottle is the ginger pills for driving away the cold. What you just gave Madam Lu was—"

Princess Wanping said, "It's been so long since the wedding, but she still hasn't consummated her marriage with Lu Yuan. Seeing how useless she is, I don't know when she will be able to get a man. I will help her."

Female official Ying asked tentatively: "Could it be that what you gave me was... Xiaoyao Pills?"

Princess Wanping said, "It is Xiaoyao Pills."

Xiaoyao Pills are a kind of aphrodisiac pills. They can relieve the pain of losing virginity on the wedding night. They are not harmful to the body. However, the effect is too strong and it is not advisable to take too much.

The female official Ying asked, "One or two pills would be enough. Why did you give me a whole jar?"

Princess Wanping said, "I can't even be stingy with a jar of Xiaoyao Pills. Besides, I have warned her not to be greedy."

Meng Qianqian held the can and ate as she walked: "It's delicious."

Meng Qianqian grunted and finished half a can.
