I should marry the traitor

Chapter 16 The Eve of the Wedding (revised and supplemented)
Daqian values ​​etiquette. Unlike the casualness of taking a concubine, marrying a wife has a strict process. The etiquette should be divided into the following according to the order of marriage:
Pre-wedding ceremonies: Nacai → Wenming → Naji → Nazheng → Qingqi;

The wedding ceremony: welcoming the bride and groom → drinking the same wine cup → tying the bride’s hair;

Post-marriage rituals: wife meets uncle and aunt → uncle and aunt offer wine to wife → wife gives gifts to uncle and aunt → wife is seen in temple.

Moreover, when the emperor marries a wife, he must follow the six ceremonies. There are many wedding procedures. The most important ones are offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, ordering envoys in front of the carriage, and reporting to the temple, which cannot be omitted in any case.

The first step of the pre-wedding ceremony is Nacai. During this stage, the man asks a matchmaker to bring gifts to the woman's house and ask for her family's consent to the marriage. Among the gifts, there must be wild geese, which are chosen because they conform to the changes of time and imply a marriage in accordance with the times.

But Dong Bai was a lonely man with no relatives in Luoyang, so the old eunuch Baimei could only take gifts to the house where Dong Bai was temporarily living to propose marriage, which was considered a reluctant marriage.

"Bah, rude barbarian." Bai Mei, who came out of Dong's house, couldn't help but spit towards the door after confirming that there was no one there.

Baimei had a lot of experience and he helped arrange Emperor Qianling's marriage, although the main person in charge of the betrothal was another elder of the royal family.

After personally handling the marriage proposal, Baimei felt suffocated at the thought that his handsome and elegant emperor was going to marry such a rude and barbaric woman. How could a girl marry a wild goose on her own?
And when he took the goose, he almost squeezed it half to death. Are you dissatisfied with your marriage being too smooth?

As for asking for the name, it is actually done during the marriage proposal.

Generally speaking, after the girl's family agrees to the marriage, the matchmaker needs to ask for the names of both parties, exchange the Geng Tie, and place the Geng Tie under a clean teacup in front of the statue of the Kitchen God. If nothing bad happens in either family within three days, it means that the two parties' horoscopes are not incompatible.

However, this step was directly omitted by Dong Bai, because she could not wait for three days. She placed the Geng Tie randomly and skipped this step.

You just want to skip the plot, right? I hope you keep skipping the life after marriage!
As for Naji after asking for his name, which fortune teller would dare to give Master Dong a bad omen? Of course, after a round of advocating a match made in heaven and a good marriage destined by heaven, Baimei should go back to report.

"Your Majesty." Bai Mei, who had returned to the palace, looked at Li Changge with a bitter face: "The marriage proposal, the name-asking, and the marriage proposal are all over."

"Yeah." Although the time passed too quickly, everything was within Li Changge's expectations. Dong Bai was not someone who could stand loneliness. She should be eager to defile the harem now.

"Your Majesty, please pay the tribute and wait for the due date."

"As for the betrothal gifts, Mr. Bai, just pick some useless valuables and send them over."

Useless valuables refer to those gold, silver, jewelry, corals and pearls that look good but are useless. The only function of these rare and precious objects is to be valuable and to broaden the horizons of the ignorant barbarians of Xiliang.

As for the secret treasures in the palace, such as the Tianxiang Stone of the School, of course it is impossible to give them away. Even if he is scolded as a lowly man, Li Changge will reply that the bitch Dong Bai does not deserve it.

"As for the date of the appointment, let's set it on the first day of April."

"Your Majesty, April 1st is tomorrow, isn't it?"

"Yes, isn't tomorrow an auspicious day?"

An auspicious day? Baimei opened his mouth, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end he held them back.

It is the day of the Red-billed Vermillion Bird, and it is the day of the robbery and the reverse of the birth date. All the taboos that should be avoided have been violated. Is this a marriage or the extermination of the family?

But compared to getting married, His Majesty seemed to want to wipe out the other party's entire family, which seemed to be the right thing to do. After receiving the instructions, Bai Mei withdrew. The emperor's wedding was being arranged so anxiously that Eunuch Bai might not even have time to close his eyes tonight.

After Baimei left, Zhong Ping walked out gracefully and put her arms around Li Changge's waist from behind. The soft front armor rubbed Li Changge's back intentionally or unintentionally.

"What's wrong with Sister Jing?"

"Your Majesty has been reluctant to have sex with me. Is it because he wants to save it for my sister who has not yet entered the palace?"

Zhong Pingjing has been Li Changge's concubine for a long time. Although Li Changge would let her sleep with him every day, she could only kneel on the ground and eat his semen. Whenever Zhong Pingjing wanted to go further, she would be rejected by Li Changge, and she still remained a virgin.

Zhong Pingjing's face was filled with tears. Although she had such a good impression of Li Changge that she would not feel any resentment towards him, who could understand the pain she felt? Her pants were soaked every day thinking about him, and in the end she had to remain a virgin.

Today I learned that Li Changge is still eager to marry that Xiliang barbarian as his queen. Does that mean that your Majesty's vital energy is reserved for that snake-like woman?

"Jingjing, do you believe me?"

"How could I not believe in Your Majesty? As long as Your Majesty wants, I can give you my body and soul."

"Then wait a little longer?"

"What are you waiting for?"

"Just wait and see."

Are you waiting to see His Majesty and that snake-like woman have sex? Zhong Pingjing was about to cry out of grievance. Could it be that the concubine could only wait for the queen to finish eating and pick up the leftovers?

Looking at Zhong Pingjing's aggrieved expression, Li Changge didn't take it seriously. It was true that Zhong Pingjing would never betray him given her favorability, but if things were not kept secret, they would not work. He didn't need to explain to anyone.

Just wait until tomorrow, just wait until tomorrow! We have been planning for so long, it is time to close the net.

"His Majesty……"

"Kneel down."

This was originally the line that should be used to deal with Master Dong. Since Zhong Pingjing is so anxious, let her do it.
"I'm very angry now."

There was some herbal tea prepared earlier on the table, which was perfect for Jingjing to display her talents.

Not getting a response, Zhong Pingjing gritted her teeth, knelt down obediently, and untied her clothes. She had no choice but to try harder to please. She learned a little from Xia Naiyang, which allowed her to perfectly utilize the advantages of her front armor.

……

After a long time, Zhong Pingjing wiped her cheeks with a wet silk scarf, feeling a little uncomfortable due to various accidents.

Of course, the discomfort was far more than that. Li Changge's anger had subsided, but Zhong Pingjing's anger was accumulating day by day.

"Your Majesty, the visitor you mentioned is already waiting."

To Zhong Pingjing's surprise, it was already midnight when Baimei's voice was heard outside the room, and then Li Changge showed a somewhat excited smile.

It finally came, and as expected, nothing was beyond his control. As long as he got the help of that person, he would be completely confident.

The man came here quietly late at night, and the decision he made was self-evident. He had taken the first step in his speed-through plan, and success was within reach!

"His Majesty?"

"Sister Jing, go to bed and wait for me first. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Li Changge pulled up his trousers, tightened his belt, and walked out the door without looking back.
