Zi'an also understood what was going on and said, "It's not appropriate for me to hear this. Princess, please listen to it yourself."
Zhuangzhuang was surprised to see them slipping out one by one, "What is this that you cannot listen to?"
Mrs. Li took Zhuangzhuang's hand and sat down, saying, "Princess, please don't blame me for being arrogant. Since the princess asked me to comb your hair, it's okay for me to say this. Although these words are not what I should say in my capacity, the Concubine Dowager said that she and the princess are not close, so she can't say these words, so she can only entrust me."
Although Zhuangzhuang is an old woman, she has been against any wedding since Xiao Xiao married Han Qingqiu. She made thorough preparations for this marriage, but she had not read any pre-marital instructions, so she didn't know what Li Po was going to say to her. She just looked at Li Po with suspicion.
Mrs. Li looked at Zhuangzhuang with a smile, "It's not a big deal, Princess, don't be nervous. I won't talk about the virtues, appearance, and skills of a new wife. Princess is from the palace, and knows more than me. But I have to talk to you about the matter on the wedding night."
Seeing Zhuangzhuang still had a look of doubt on his face, Mrs. Li lowered her voice and said, "On the night of the wedding, the princess and her husband must sleep in the same bed. The way of husband and wife is to be harmonious..."
Before Mrs. Li finished her words, Zhuangzhuang's face turned as red as a cooked shrimp, but she couldn't disobey, but she was so embarrassed that her body and face were burning.
After Li Pozi left and Zi'an and others came in, Zhuangzhuang's face was still red. Rouyao was stunned, "Oh my God, Princess, you look so beautiful when you blush."
Hu Huanxi and Zi'an looked over, wasn't it? Her eyes sparkled, her fair skin was rosy red, her lips were the color of honey, and she looked indescribably full and plump.
"Xiao Xiao is so lucky." Hu Huanxi exclaimed.
"You can't say that. Xiao Xiao is also a handsome guy." Zi'an said to Hu Huanxi.
Everyone laughed, and Rouyao concluded: "Well, they are a perfect match made in heaven."
Zhuangzhuang couldn't stop laughing and chased Rouyao to beat her.
The sisters were chatting and joking, and soon Hu Huanling came with the ladies from various palaces. The Yilan Palace suddenly became extremely lively.
When the time for ancestor worship arrived, Concubine Xi also came over and brought Zhuangzhuang to kowtow and bid farewell in front of the ancestral tablets.
After coming back, it’s almost time to comb my hair.
The lucky woman held a sandalwood comb in her hand and stood in front of the bronze mirror. She looked at the beautiful woman in the bronze mirror and exclaimed: "I have helped many brides comb their hair, but I have never seen one as beautiful as the princess. Your Majesty is so lucky. However, I have also seen your appearance before. It is not disrespectful for him to be with the princess. If you give birth to a child in the future, I wonder how beautiful it will be."
When Zhuangzhuang heard this, he felt shy and happy. These words were so nice to hear, as if he had drunk honey and his heart was sweet.
Children, their own children, something they had never dared to imagine before.
Zi'an and others were watching with tears in their eyes. It was so great that Zhuangzhuang was going to marry the man she loved.
"One comb brings longevity, two combs bring white hair to eyebrows, three combs bring many descendants..."
As the lucky lady spoke auspicious words, Zhuangzhuang's eyes were filled with tears.
Combing hair on the eve of a wedding is a ritual, and on the next day, when the wedding takes place, a ceremonial master will put on makeup on the hair.
After combing the hair, Concubine Xi ordered someone to bring sweet soup for everyone to drink. Zhuangzhuang's bowl was different. The others had glutinous rice balls, but Zhuangzhuang's bowl had longan, lily and lotus seeds added.
Zi'an, Rouyao and others did not leave the palace. They stayed in Yilan Palace and talked to Zhuangzhuang for a long time. When they were tired, they lay down here and there.
As for the Marquis' Mansion, Murong Jie and Su Qing were also having a bachelor party.
Murong Jie and Xiao Xiao are both boring people. There is only one activity at their parties: drinking.
You can even drink without talking.
Su Qing was a little drunk and sighed repeatedly, "Hey, Xiao Xiao got married again, and I still don't have a place to stay."
"Try harder, work harder." Xiao Xiao put his hand on his shoulder and said seriously, "You can't win Lingli's heart anyway, so try your best and make Lingli reject you harshly once more so that you can give up. After giving up, you will settle for marrying a woman that your parents like and have children and spend the rest of your life with her."
Su Qing stared at him, speechless.
Damn it, what he said makes so much sense. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be how his life will be from now on.
The person he admired most in his life was Prince An. As a prince, he was determined not to get married for the sake of a woman. He withstood tremendous pressure and kept out all those who came to propose marriage.
Of course, the biggest reason why Prince An could do this was that his parents were dead, and there was no one chasing him with a stick as thick as an arm to force him to go on blind dates.
He can't do it. He is already struggling now. If he still hasn't married Rouyao in another two years, he will either run away from home or, as Xiao Xiao said, marry a lady from a wealthy family who pleases his parents and live a plain and pragmatic life. Perhaps, this lady is really virtuous and knows how to arrange a few beautiful concubines for him and give birth to a bunch of little Su Qings and little ladies.
Why!
God is unfair. Even a rough guy like Xiao Tuo can successfully hold hands with the person he likes. I never thought that it would be the case that Su Qing, a modest gentleman and gentle as jade, is still single.
"Xiao Tuo!" Su Qing suddenly yelled at Xiao Tuo who was drinking.
Xiao Tuo was startled, and the wine that had just reached his throat choked his nose, but the breath was not enough to spray the wine out of his nasal cavity. He covered his nose and looked at Su Qing with resentment.
"I have made great contributions to your marriage with Liu Liu, so no matter what, you have to help me trick Ling Li into my arms."
Xiao Tuo laughed, and the wine spurted out of his nose, accompanied by two snot bubbles.
"Eh!" Everyone looked at him with disgust.
Xiao Tuo calmly took a handkerchief and wiped it off, still laughing, "Why don't you like anyone else? You actually like that wild girl Lingli, she is the hardest to deceive, haha..."
"Is it so funny?" Su Qing looked at him depressedly. Xiao Tuo's sense of humor was sometimes inexplicable. He didn't laugh when he should, and he laughed so hard that his stomach felt numb when he shouldn't.
"Isn't it much simpler to like Rouyao?" Xiao Tuo was still laughing, his face as relaxed as the yellow earth cracked by the scorching sun.
"Don't joke about these things." Xiao Xiao scolded.
Xiao Tuo was most afraid of Xiao Xiao's cold face, so he stopped smiling and lowered his head obediently, "Yes!"
Su Qing was extremely upset. He knew that if he liked Rouyao, everything would be much simpler. However, he was also a stubborn person and once he liked someone, he could never change his mind.
How can the person in my heart be replaced by just anyone
