Chapter 837: King Ping (V)
Empress Dowager Li did not agree immediately.

Jiang Shaohua remained calm and looked at Empress Dowager Li with a smile.

Queen Mother Li could not hold back any longer. She coughed and whispered, "Prince Ping is ignorant. If he sets up a new residence and lives separately, I am afraid that the servants will bully their master. Besides, the daughter of the Feng family is also naive and may not be able to take on the responsibility of managing the internal affairs of Prince Ping's residence."

"I thought that after Prince Ping got married, he should still live in Ning'an Palace. I will take care of him for a few years and train Princess Ping. After they are trained, I will let them leave the palace to live their own lives."

Jiang Shaohua smiled slightly and said, "My mother loves Prince Ping very much. I understand that. However, the palace has its own rules. If Prince Ping doesn't get married, it's fine for him to live in the palace. But since he's married, he should follow the rules and leave the palace as soon as possible."

"It will also prevent villains from gossiping behind my back, saying that I am narrow-minded and have imprisoned Prince Ping in the palace."

Empress Dowager Li was startled and said with a smile: "I was not thoughtful enough and only cared about Prince Ping. I didn't expect that this would damage the reputation of the emperor."

"I am very pleased that my mother loves Prince Ping." Jiang Shaohua looked at Queen Mother Li deeply and said, "Prince Ping's mansion is next to the imperial palace. After Prince Ping's wedding, he can come to the palace to pay respects to my mother from time to time."

Empress Dowager Li responded with a smile, but she felt a chill in her heart.

Her little thoughts could indeed not be hidden from Jiang Shaohua.

She originally thought that after Prince Ping got married, he would still live in Ning'an Palace. Princess Ping would have to live under her nose, and everything would be under her control.

Once Prince Ping left the palace and moved into Prince Ping's Mansion, she, as the queen mother, could not always interfere in everything, and her control over Prince Ping was greatly reduced.

Both parties were well aware of these secret games and struggles. Jiang Shaohua once again had the upper hand.

Jiang Shaohua gave Empress Dowager Li enough face and did not embarrass her: "Please ask your mother to send a maid from the palace to the Feng family to teach the Feng family the rules of the palace."

Give a sweet date for every hit.

Empress Dowager Li calmed down and ate the sweet dates with a smile: "This is just a small matter, Your Majesty does not need to worry about it, I will take care of it."

Jiang Shaohua smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, mother."

After discussing the important matters, Jiang Shaohua accompanied Empress Dowager Li for lunch before leaving.

Queen Mother Li sat alone for a while, then called her trusted maid Lanxiang over and said, "Go to the Li family and tell them what I want. Ask them to prepare a dowry for Li Fanghua so that she can get married soon."

Things had come to this point and could not be changed. Empress Dowager Li simply made things more smooth and beautiful.

Li Fanghua, who was locked in her boudoir, cried bitterly after Lanxiang came to the Li family.

……

On September 12, the ninth year of Zhaoping, the weather was clear and crisp in autumn.

King Ping got married.

King Ping was taught repeatedly for a month. On his wedding day, he wore a red wedding gown and did not run around. He waited quietly for the bride to come in.

During the wedding ceremony, a joke happened. Prince Ping was so impatient that he lifted the veil of Princess Ping in public.

The people watching the ceremony were in a dilemma. The bridesmaid in the palace was experienced and prepared to deal with any unexpected situations. She immediately stepped forward and put the veil back, coaxing Prince Ping: "Don't worry, Your Highness. Once we have finished the ceremony and entered the bridal chamber, Your Highness will be able to lift the bride's veil."

Feng Wushuang's voice came from under the red veil: "Your Highness, please wait a moment."

It was also a novelty for the bride to speak during the wedding ceremony. The Princess of Ping and the Prince of Ping were a perfect match.

Everyone couldn't hold back any longer and started laughing.

King Ping also grinned, bowed obediently, excitedly grabbed the red silk, and led his bride into the bridal chamber.

As soon as Feng Wushuang sat down on the bed, the veil was taken off. Prince Ping, wearing a bright red wedding dress, looked like a festive candied haws, with a handsome, plump face glowing.

"Sister Wushuang," King Ping called her happily, "From now on, we can be together every day."

In fact, during the past six months, Prince Ping had seen Feng Wushuang quite often. The rule that unmarried couples could not meet before getting married did not apply to him at all. He insisted on leaving the palace to go to Feng's house, and Eunuch Ge had no choice but to accompany him. After going there twice, Queen Mother Li simply took Feng Wushuang to live in Ning'an Palace for a while, nominally to let the future Princess Ping learn the rules, but in fact to make it easier for the unmarried couple to meet and get along.

There was no need to worry about Prince Ping overstepping the line. Prince Ping still had a childish temper and had no idea about the relationship between men and women. Every day he would take Feng Wushuang to play in the imperial garden.

Feng Wushuang could use a slingshot and shoot birds accurately. He could also make a net to catch fish. He could find katydids, fight crickets, climb trees and pick fruits. He was a great playmate.

King Ping had a lot of fun with his fiancée every day. Unfortunately, Feng Wushuang left the palace and returned to the Feng family a month before the wedding. In the last month, both of them were detained and taught the rules.

After holding it in for a month, King Ping was extremely happy to see his new wife today.

Feng Wushuang curved his eyebrows and smiled sweetly: "I think about Your Highness every day, too."

King Ping grabbed Feng Wushuang's hand and laughed.

The bridesmaid on the side tried to get Prince Ping to drink the wedding wine. Prince Ping impatiently drove the bridesmaid out. The scene was chaotic for a while. Fortunately, Feng Wushuang spoke and Prince Ping immediately stopped making a fuss: "After drinking the wedding wine, we are husband and wife, and we will be together day and night in the future."

After being taught for a month, King Ping could barely understand the four words "daily and nightly companionship", and he stopped making trouble.

The glass contains rice wine, which has a light sweetness and tastes soft and sweet.

After King Ping drank it, he was still not satisfied and asked for another cup.

The bridesmaid thought this was too unruly. The wedding wine was only one cup, so how could they drink two cups? But the King was unreasonable and insisted on drinking. The bridesmaid had no choice but to pour another cup of wedding wine for the King.

Feng Wushuang also thought the rice wine tasted sweet, so he handed the wine glass to the bride's wife and said, "Pour me some wine, too."

Bride: “…”

A pot of rice wine was drunk up by the bride and groom, one cup at a time.

King Ping's face turned red and he kept laughing foolishly.

Princess Feng Wushuang of Prince Ping was also drunk, with red face.

The bridesmaid winked at everyone, and they all left silently. The loyal eunuch Ge stood guard at the door, listening attentively to the faint sounds in the bridal chamber.

King Ping: "Huh? Why are you taking off my clothes?"

Princess Ping: "My mother taught me."

King Ping: "Oh!"

After a while, King Ping muttered again: "Why did you take off your clothes too?"

Princess Ping: "This is how we can be husband and wife."

King Ping: "Oh!"

After a while, King Ping shouted in surprise: "Why are you touching me? Why am I like this?"

Princess Ping was finally so ashamed that she kept silent.

Eunuch Ge couldn't help but grin, silently stepped back a few feet, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

The moon is so bright tonight.
