The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Although Wei Yu had no parents or family to rely on, Li Jian took her to her parents' ancestral grave half a month ago to pay homage and explained that the three books and six ceremonies would be performed by a matchmaker.

Therefore, the ceremony in Chang'an had already been performed, and this time in Luoyang we just invited relatives and friends to witness it and make it lively.

Moreover, he had already handed over all his savings, land deeds and real estate to Wei Yu, and said that according to Tang law, if a man married a woman who had lost her parents, he would not be allowed to divorce her during her lifetime. He told her to be at ease with him without fear of being alone.

At this time, someone was knocking on the door to urge people to finish their makeup.

Wei Yu took the round fan with a phoenix pattern from the maid, held it in her hand and asked the maid to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, she saw Li Xuan, dressed in a crimson wedding gown, holding a candle and walking slowly towards her. She extended her hand to invite Wei Yu, "Madam, all the guests are here. It's an auspicious time."

Li Xiying looked at her fourth uncle, who dealt with medicinal herbs and fertile soil all day long, with his ten fingernails manicured to be smooth and shiny, with a smooth and smooth surface without impurities, and she knew how much he valued this wedding; at the same time, she looked at Wei Yu's smile that could not be concealed by her round fan, and walked slowly to the door.

"Okay." Wei Yu opened her red lips slightly, and extended her hand without hesitation, placing it in his warm palm. With mixed feelings in her heart, she raised the round fan to cover her slightly red eyes, and let him lead her to walk on the red carpet.

Guests gathered around and nearby neighbors were invited to witness the event.

The autumn moon and spring breeze, the beautiful scenery and good time. The two newlyweds walked slowly to the wedding table, and the surrounding music was very lively.

But one child was puzzled. He pointed at the bride and asked his mother, "Mother, why doesn't this bride jump over the fire basin and ride on the saddle like our aunt did when she got married?"

The mother didn't know, and she just patted the paw pointing at the bride and whispered, "You don't know the rules, so keep your mouth shut!" Then she couldn't help but answer her child, "But... according to the rules, you should jump over the fire basin to ward off evil spirits... Maybe you're not familiar with the wedding process, no wonder, no wonder."

Li Xi, who was standing nearby, was close to the mother and son, and heard what they were saying. She pondered for a moment, then said to the mother and son on the street, "No, no, that's totally wrong! The bride has been pampered since she was a child, and is a precious young lady. Why would she have to jump over a fire basin to ward off evil spirits or to show good luck on her wedding day?"

The mother and son thought it made sense, so the child asked, "Why don't you cross the saddle?"

Li Xi looked down at the child's puzzled face, and was not stingy with his teachings, saying, "Saddle riding was originally a custom derived from the intermarriage between the Xianbei people and the Han people after the Northern Wei Dynasty moved their capital to Luoyang 400 years ago. So it is not an old custom in our Central Plains. Since both of you are Han people, it is not a big deal to abandon the procedure of riding a saddle that was derived from the intermarriage between ethnic minorities."

The child drummer said, "So that's how it is!"

Li Xiying couldn't help but laugh, not knowing that these were also the questions she asked her grandfather when she was young, and that was what her grandfather told her... Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

Some of the male and female guests around suddenly realized what was going on when they heard it, and couldn't help but praise the husband's family for their attention to the bride, which was both meticulous and considerate!

After the two newlyweds finished the ceremony of bowing to each other, they invited all the guests to sit at the long table and drink.

It was already the second watch when they entered the bridal chamber. After Wei Yu fanned her, she and Li Xuan untied their necklaces and tied the knot.

Li Zhen noticed that Wei Yu looked a little tired, so he asked the matchmaker to tell the guests that since the lady was tired of the rituals and customs, the custom of making a fuss in the bridal chamber would be abolished.

To express gratitude, I have asked the servants to give each guest a gift and lead everyone out of the house without lingering, and those who need to go home should go home.

After returning to the house, Li Qian bowed respectfully to Wei Yu and said, "Madam, you are tired. Why don't you let me take off your heavy headdress for you?"

Wei Yu blushed and nodded shyly, "Please, my husband."

Li Xuan took off her jewelry bit by bit, and her three thousand strands of hair fell like a waterfall. The room was lit by bright candlelight, and the newlyweds' eyes were as black as lacquer. When their eyes met, they let the gauze curtain slowly fall down inside the bed.

……

A few days later, in the early morning, a ray of dawn light from the horizon illuminated people's eyes, and they felt warm.

She stood by the window. As she had already stayed there for many days, she wanted to say goodbye and return to the village. She thought of stopping by Cui's house and visiting the prime minister's wife on the way.

Li Zhen did not stay long and sent people to escort him with carriages and horses.

Suddenly, Ah Wu appeared in front of her, his eyes rolling around. After she noticed him, he hesitated and moved to her side, "Sister... No, Princess, I also want to go with you so that I can protect you on the way!"

Ah Wu looked at Amber with a nervous look on his face, fearing that the maid beside her would not allow it.

Seeing that he was so afraid of her, Amber just stared in silence.

Li Xiying thought that it was she who advocated taking in Ah Wu when he was still a little beggar. In the past year, he has been following his fourth uncle, and under his fourth uncle's protection, he has naturally been safe and sound.

After all, he was the one I took him in, so it's only right that he should go with me.

She was going back to the village this time, so she agreed to his proposal and said to him, "Of course you should follow me, but I couldn't keep myself safe some time ago, so I didn't bring you with me. Now that I'm going back to the village, you naturally won't need a seat."

Ah Wu was delighted and immediately sat in the front room of the carriage, promising to help drive the horses.

Li Xixuan let him do as he pleased.

The wheels rumbled and slowly moved towards the west of the city.

Just as they arrived under the plaque of Cui's residence, Cui's servant immediately came over to report.

Madam Xiang was overjoyed and came out to greet him, saying with a smile, "Xi Xuan is so thoughtful. He even remembered to come and see me when he came to Luoyang."

Li Xi said, "Since you are here, you should stay at Madam's place. Sorry to bother you for a moment. I would like to ask for a cup of tea."

The lady took her wrist and pulled her into the mansion, saying, "How can you be considered a bother? I couldn't ask for more!"

The two entered the hall, and people brought pots, cups, and other tea-making utensils one after another. In an instant, the whole house was filled with rich fragrance.

Seeing that the young masters in the mansion were not at home, Li Xixiao guessed that they must be busy with work, so he couldn't help asking, "I wonder if the young masters have found the fourth young master?"

The maid brought some cups of tea for her to take.

She took one and took a sip. The lingering fragrance filled her mouth and the warmth from the cup passed through her fingertips, making her feel warm.

Madam sighed slightly, "As for finding Silang, even though Erlang has a wide network of contacts, there is still no clue. Besides, he is busy with business and has limited energy. Sanlang is not at home all day, and even wanders outside day and night. Even if we see him, he is always addicted to alcohol and looks listless."

"On the other hand, Archie, although this child is my nephew, he is the most worrying one."

Li Xiying put down the teacup and couldn't help wondering: "Why are you so worried?"

The lady said with a sigh, "First of all, in this world, there are so many refugees. Many of them have no food to eat and have turned to banditry. Every time Aqi encountered bloody scenes on his way to find Shilang, he did not stand idly by, so that the refugees all obeyed him and urged him to become a self-made emperor and revolt for the people."

At this point, she could not hide her worry. "Achi has always despised power struggles, let alone becoming a criminal. But I'm afraid that if the news gets out, it will do him more harm than good."

Li Xiying couldn't help but laugh at Madam's explanation and comforted her, "Madam, don't worry. Long Qi has his own way. Since he has waded into this muddy water, he is naturally not afraid of getting into trouble."

"So he's busy with this every day?"

Madam shook her head helplessly. "That was a helpless move. He was mainly looking for Silang. Actually, Aqi has visited almost every chess shop in Luoyang. We are still investigating. Maybe Silang didn't open a chess shop, or he is not in Luoyang at all. But he keeps going back and forth every day, leaving early and returning late, and he is getting thinner and thinner. It's heartbreaking."

"We will find her eventually. But speaking of finding someone, does Madam have any information about Zhi'er?"

Suddenly I remembered that Shanluo had said in the letter that she wanted to meet Madam Xiang.

Now that I have arrived at Cui's house, I want to talk to the prime minister's wife in advance so that she can be mentally prepared.

Madam Xiang shook her head and sighed, "I'm afraid all the clues have been found long ago, but now in this world, I'm afraid the hope is even slimmer."
