No money? No problem, Xu Ren thought of this for the officials. Xu Ren gave a solution - no gifts this year, just a painting or calligraphy will do.
Li Xian sighed for a long time, he was indeed a wise counselor, he handled the matter so lightly.
Honestly speaking, there are many people whose calligraphy and paintings are very valuable. Normally, one might not be successful even if one goes to their door to ask for calligraphy. Now, they are piled up in the study behind Li Xian, looking as worthless as elementary school students' graffiti.
The next morning, the whole city of Wuyang was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. The emperor was in a good mood and very generous; the queen was also very enthusiastic. So the wedding was very quick and grand—the most important thing was "very quick".
Everything was done quickly. In the morning, the lights were hung and the good news was announced. In the afternoon, all the procedures were completed, as if they were afraid that Li Xian would go back on his word. In the evening, the princess was sent to Li's house and got married.
Then Li Xian gave his father-in-law, the emperor, and his mother-in-law, the queen, a cup of tea, and replaced the other person's daughter.
The princess was taken to the bridal chamber by her maids.
The wedding was going so fast that Li Xian was overwhelmed - I say, are you in such a hurry
At night, Li Xian was forced to drink ten kilograms of wine by a group of "good friends" and then was "thrown" into the bridal chamber by the maids. Poor Li Xian, who had drunk ten kilograms of wine, was not able to have a bridal chamber; that night, he "honestly" lay on the bed and vomited for half the night, making the bridal chamber stink.
But Xia Qingqing patiently took care of Li Xian all night long, which touched Li Xian deeply. It was so precious that a princess could take care of others so attentively.
'Looking back' to the earth's past, many princesses would let their husbands stand guard at the door while they would meet their lovers in their new homes; the Tang Dynasty was the most typical example.
It was not until the early morning that Li Xian sobered up; but by then it was already daybreak and the east was already slightly red. Li Xian looked at his newlywed wife, who had been busy all night and was still dressed neatly, and felt helpless. He was about to go out and pay his respects to the Emperor.
There was no time to do anything else, Li Xian could only quickly wash up to get rid of the smell of alcohol, and then he took the shy Xia Qingqing out to meet people.
Needless to say, Li Xian was laughed at by his friends for being so "honest" that night. Shangguan Yong laughed the loudest.
After paying respects to the Emperor and coming out of the palace, Xu Ren suddenly spoke up, "Master, leave Wuyang City immediately, don't hesitate! Quickly, the sooner the better. Let's just leave the city and reunite with the team back to Anyang."
"I haven't gone back to see my father and second brother yet?" Li Xian was still a little hesitant.
Unexpectedly, Xia Qingqing also said: "Husband, we must leave Wuyang now."
Li Xian looked at Xia Qingqing's serious face and finally had to admit - a princess is a princess. Her insight and decisiveness are absolutely incomparable to that of a little girl.
Li Xian immediately gave the order that the carriage should not return to Li's Mansion, but rushed out of Wuyang City directly and came to Li's workshop outside the city. He gathered relevant personnel and immediately set off back to Anyang.
Only then did Li Xian have the opportunity to ask, "Qingqing, tell me your reasons first."
Li Xian sat in the carriage and held Xia Qingqing in his arms. Xia Qingqing couldn't resist and leaned gently on Li Xian's shoulder. The two of them hadn't changed out of their wedding clothes yet.
