I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 70 Welcoming the bride
The days passed quietly, the wedding day approached, and two old maids and a group of palace maids came to the palace.

The reason was that Li Chengzong did not arrange a maid to accompany him. According to the rules, he had to choose the one he liked from among the palace maids, and two old maids would teach him how to have sex with the palace maids. Afterwards, the palace maids would stay in the palace as maids. If they could please Li Chengzong, they would be promoted to concubines.

Li Chengzong decisively refused. What a joke! He already had children and had rich practical experience. Even if he had no practical experience, he didn't need anyone to teach him such things, not to mention that there was someone watching him teach.

"Your Highness, we are also following the rules." An old maid advised earnestly.

Rules are dead, but people are alive. If something is said not to be allowed, it means not to be allowed.

"roll!"

Li Chengzong rolled his eyes and waved his hand. The people in the palace started to chase them away. The two old maids had no choice but to lead a group of palace maids and leave in disgrace.

For this reason, Li Yunrui in the palace got angry again and was ready to contact his followers to report the incident. However, the empress dowager said lightly, "Let him do it," and shut everyone up.

The next day, the whole Kyoto became bustling. Everyone in the city knew that the third prince would be getting married the next day. Red silk ribbons were hung high in the streets, stretching for miles. If you didn't know, you would have thought it was New Year's Day.

On this day, Zhao Huai'en and others were busy. In order to ensure that everything went smoothly at the wedding tomorrow, they began to check for possible dangers one by one. Even at Prince Jing's Mansion, there were special people to protect Si Lili closely.

All businesses under Prince Ding's Mansion have been shut down, and they are all making intensive preparations for tomorrow's wedding.

As the first prince of Qing Kingdom to get married, Emperor Qing also attached great importance to him and specially mobilized a thousand guards to take charge of the security work throughout the process, ensuring the face and pomp.

In the palace of Prince Ding.

After trying on his wedding dress, Li Chengzong was walking in the study room with a few sheets of rice paper and reciting a manuscript.

Tomorrow is the wedding, and it can be said that we will be busy from morning to night. Because it is a royal wedding, the etiquette is even more complicated. Even small things like how many steps to take and where to stand have clear regulations.

If it were an ordinary person, if he still had the strength to enter the bridal chamber at night, he would have to give a thumbs up, and he is definitely a real man.

"Master, Young Master Qin is here." Xingzhi hurried in to report.

"Let him come directly."

"It's the head of the family."

The young master Qin mentioned by Xingzhi is the little fat boy Qin Yue from back then.

He came with an important mission.

"Uncle, happy wedding!"

Li Chengzong looked at the little fat boy who had grown taller in front of him and said with a smile: "Here you are. Tomorrow morning, my cousin will definitely give you a big red envelope."

"Really? Thank you, uncle!" The little fat boy was even happier when he heard that.

His mission today was to hold the bed, and he would get a red envelope after sleeping on it. He had never thought that such a good thing would happen to him.

What's more, he is famous for his generosity.

"You're welcome, have you had lunch yet?"

"I have, but I can still eat some more."

He had heard that the food in Prince Ding's Mansion was delicious, so he saved some food for lunch today.

After having a delicious meal with the little fat boy, Li Chengzong came out and happened to meet Zhao Huai'en coming back from outside. He suddenly smiled mysteriously.

“Qin Yue, do you like playing chess?”

"It's okay. My dad can't beat me anyway." The little fat boy looked proud.

"It's not Go, it's a very interesting game. Do you want to play?"

In order to prevent the little fat boy from being bored all afternoon, Li Chengzong specially called Zhao Huai'en to play chess with him.

Time quickly came to evening. While eating, Li Chengzong almost laughed out loud when he saw the little fat boy looked like he had lost his soul.

He suddenly felt a little regretful. He spent the afternoon memorizing the script in his room and did not go to watch the game between the fat boy and Zhao Huai'en.

"Uncle, that military chess is so difficult to play!"

At the dinner table, Qin Yue kept crying, especially in the last game, when he suggested playing Go, and his mentality collapsed after being abused by Zhao Huai'en.

Li Chengzong smiled without saying anything. At least he was not the only one in the world who was abused by Zhao Huai'en.

As the night deepened, the little fat man carefully entered the bridal chamber under the watchful eye of Li Chengzong.

"Uncle, go to bed early. Don't forget to call me tomorrow morning. I have to go with you to pick up the bride."

"Okay, I'll call you tomorrow morning."

…The east was about to dawn, and a golden glow appeared, with a layer of golden halo spreading from the other side of the horizon.

The Blood-Clothed Guards who were to welcome the bride were already ready, and there were also private soldiers sent by the Qin family to help. They were chatting with each other, making the palace very lively early in the morning.

Looking at these people, Li Chengzong felt a little emotional. Unknowingly, the former 500 guards had grown into a group of eighth-rank masters. Coupled with the Qin family which had military power, he inexplicably felt that his bright red wedding dress had turned a little yellow under the shining sun.

However, this emotion and feeling soon wore off.

Thinking of words like morning court and reviewing memorials, Li Chengzong couldn't help but shiver.

The streets and alleys were crowded with people. Many people went out early just to grab a front row seat, to witness the Third Prince's wedding and share in the joy.

On both sides of the streets along the way, teams of people marched forward and formed human walls, clearing a wide path for the wedding procession.

On the roofs of both sides, the figures of Fan Wujiu, Li Junxin and others kept flashing, doing the final check to ensure that the whole process was foolproof.

In front of the gate of Prince Ding's Mansion.

As the red-robed eunuch opened his mouth, Li Chengzong took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, turned over and rode on the horse that had been prepared long ago.

"Get up the sedan!"

With a loud shout, the hundred-meter-long wedding procession set off amid the blast of firecrackers and the sound of gongs and drums.

Red clothes, white horse, young man.

With the clatter of horse hooves, as we passed West Street, a group of wealthy and powerful young men were already waiting here.

"Third Prince, happy wedding."

"Congratulations, Third Prince!"

Listening to the congratulations coming from all around, Li Chengzong smiled and nodded while riding on his horse, looking very happy and in high spirits.

In order to show off the royal status, and also because it coincided with the great victory of the war between Qing and Northern Qi, the wedding procession would deliberately circle the city, distributing wedding candies and money along the way.

It was the first time for most of the people in the city to see the famous Third Prince. Many of the merchants were surprised when they saw Li Chengzong.

"Your Highness the Third Prince actually bought my candied haws?"

"Your Highness the Third Prince bought my sesame cakes and said they were delicious?!"

"Your Highness, have you ever eaten my roast chicken? I'll write a sign when I get back. Your Highness also likes this roast chicken!"

"..."

When many vendors saw Li Chengzong's face, they remembered that their stalls seemed to have been patronized by the Third Prince, and they could not hide their excitement.

With blessings constantly ringing in his ears, Li Chengzong nodded with a smile and waved to express his gratitude.

These two simple actions made the scene even more lively, and many screams even drowned out the vocals of the wedding procession.

At this moment, Li Chengzong felt that he was a winner in life.

Prince Jing's Mansion.

The bright red veil covered Si Lili's beautiful face, but could not hide her helpless hands.

Nervousness, anticipation, joy...all kinds of wonderful emotions lingered in Si Lili's heart, and she felt as if she was dreaming.

Of course, if this was a dream, she hoped not to wake up for the rest of her life.

Outside the house, Li Xiaoqian was even more nervous than Si Lili. He kept pacing in the yard, making Prince Jing and Li Hongcheng, father and son, a little depressed.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of gongs and drums came closer and closer, and the sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out. Li Xiaoqian was immediately startled and exclaimed, "Here they come!"

Prince Jing said in a deep voice: "Keep calm, don't be nervous, and don't make any mistakes because of nervousness."

Li Xiaoqian nodded heavily, took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down.

Outside Prince Jing’s Mansion.

Li Chengzong got off his horse and couldn't help but take a few deep breaths. He had been to Prince Jing's Mansion many times, but now he didn't know why he felt inexplicably nervous.

It seems that in movies and TV shows, when welcoming the bride, the bride must be beaten and have to write poems to urge her to get ready. I don't know if it's true?
I don't seem to be prepared!
Forget it, never mind, just rush in.

Thinking so, Li Chengzong stepped into the Duke's Mansion.

Surprisingly, everything went more smoothly than I had expected. There were no difficulties and I completed all the processes smoothly.
