They had agreed on the first day that they would start the wedding the next day. In fact, this was not the result that Fang La and the others in the palace wanted to see. It was purely Liu Watermelon's arbitrary decision.
The Tyrant's Blade Camp had always been straightforward in their actions. This was inseparable from the style of the previous Liu Dabiao. Although they were rarely blackmailed by others, when such a thing happened, they would always admit that they were wrong and stand up for it. This time, Liu Watermelon had already confirmed that she could not push the matter away. The marriage was inevitable, and she did not want others to make fun of her at all in other aspects.
On the other hand, it was because she did not have much emotional foundation with Ning Yi. In the beginning, when she was in contact with Ning Yi, Liu Watermelon regarded herself as a "master". Although she was not an all-rounder, she was good at learning modestly and had a good brain. She could often learn the shining points of other people's thinking. Unfortunately, Ning Yi was not a good advisor. When his ideas, ideas, and thinking system gradually overtook Liu Watermelon's ability to absorb them, he became the right-hand man of people like Zhuge Liang. Later, he could only be called a "comrade".
At this point, the two often talked incessantly, either pointing out the state of affairs, gossiping about family trifles, badmouthing others, or making fun of each other. It was true that they were close. With Liu Watermelon's character, to be able to use Ning Yi's poem as her own without hesitation, it meant that she had complete trust in Ning Yi. They were like brothers, but to talk about the feelings of husband and wife, especially the psychological preparation, to be exact, there was no such thing.
If he saw that she was enjoying it and doing it seriously, how could she face him in the future? This was the problem that troubled Liu Watermelon the most.
But on the other hand, she was not an insensible person. As a girl, she actually thought more than ordinary people about all kinds of human relationships and affairs. Once the matter was confirmed, even though it was rushed, she couldn't help but think about what would happen if she really got together with Ning Yi in the future. In this era, even the most open-minded woman couldn't get rid of the ethics of marriage. Once they got married, they might really be tied to Ning Yi for the rest of their lives. After thinking about this for a while, she came to a conclusion that she did not want to face even with her straightforward personality. Perhaps … she could accept it.
If she continued to think about many things, it would be really embarrassing.
But the reality was right in front of him. Was this thing real or fake? Now it was fake, but if it became real in the future, would she feel regretful for the child's play now? As a woman, if she really found a husband, of course, she also hoped to be able to get married properly. But right now, she couldn't do it properly …
When she came back from the palace that night, her mind was also in a mess. Later on, Ning Yi's words, "The Tyrant's Saber Camp should be more lively," gave her a way out. Thinking about it later, she didn't know if Ning Yi was just talking nonsense or if he had subconsciously calculated all the aspects of the situation. Perhaps even Ning Yi himself couldn't explain it clearly.
She didn't care about the outside, but at least the inside of the Tyrant's Saber Camp could be done properly. Since Ning Yi had asked for it, she would be merciful and agree to it … So the wedding was handed over to Liu Tiannan. Watermelon came out to block everyone outside. She didn't care whether they protested or tried to persuade her. She was going to get married. As for Uncle Nan wanting it to be very formal, she couldn't do anything about it, right?
During this period, a few relatively sensitive issues were delayed. What about the relationship between Ning Yi and Su Tan'er? He was still a married son-in-law. How could he remarry? What kind of status would Liu Watermelon have to marry him? Of course, whether Liu Watermelon was a princess or a master, Ning Yi would have to marry into the family. He was still a married son-in-law. How could he marry into the family? Wouldn't it become a situation where one married son-in-law had two wives?
It wasn't that no one was concerned about this situation. Fang Baihua, Shao Xianying, and the other married women were quite concerned. But Liu Watermelon didn't care. At this time, there was no way to kill Su Tan'er. Even if she sent her away, she wouldn't be able to. While the married women were worried, Fang La was also protesting. She called Liu Watermelon to the golden palace and scolded her. In any case, Liu Watermelon insisted. "I'm going to get married. Sage Duke and Empress, please be my father and mother …" The rest of them just listened quietly.
Fang La had no choice. She tried to think of a way to change Watermelon's mind. At the same time, she sent all sorts of things to the Tyrant's Blade Camp. For example, Watermelon would be the princess's official status, dowry, and other rewards. She also sent them to the Tyrant's Blade Camp five or six times a day. The people outside were also considering whether they should prepare for a celebration in the city if Watermelon really insisted on it. And so on.
On Ning Yi's side, things were also a little chaotic. Strictly speaking, this was his first marriage here. As the bridegroom, many people came to ask for his opinion. Things were a little rushed and childish, but Liu Tiannan and the others could see that Watermelon still had a good impression of Ning Yi. The marriage still had to be done properly. But Ning Yi's official wife was still here. If she asked him about the wedding, wouldn't that be making things difficult for her? Ning Yi didn't have a good attitude towards anyone who came to his house to talk about this matter. As for the eunuch who came to deliver the imperial edict and bestowed rewards five or six times a day, after Ning Yi became familiar with him, he directly received the imperial edict when he came over. Then he patted the eunuch's hand and said, "I know, I know, don't read it anymore …"
With his character, of course, he didn't really think it was troublesome. He only acted like this in front of Su Tan'er and Xiaochan. When he met a group of students outside, if they dared to ask about the marriage, he would hit their hands twenty times with a piece of bamboo. Su Tan'er was originally worried that Fang La's people would force her to do this and that. Later, she realized that no one bothered her. The whole thing became a farce in the Tyrant's Blade Camp. They were busy outside, but Ning Yi's identity hadn't been confirmed yet. When they saw Ning Yi's unhappy expression, they couldn't help but laugh. They wanted to see how things would develop. Even Lu Hongti felt that this development was quite interesting.
Then, on the twelfth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, the wedding went on as scheduled. From morning to afternoon, the whole area of Xiliu Street began to boil with excitement.
The process of the wedding was actually simple. However, Xiliu Street was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers. It was as lively as the Spring Festival. Of course, Su Tan'er and the others couldn't attend the wedding. However, even the groom's robe was put on by Su Tan'er for Ning Yi. At this time, she couldn't help but sigh. "After a trip to Hangzhou, he has become the princess's husband. What is going on …"
In the past three days, she had witnessed all kinds of arrangements made by the Tyrant's Blade Camp. Liu Guihua also came to talk to her twice. She also knew that this marriage was fake. However, she had to send her Husband out to perform the Heaven and Earth ceremony with another woman. She also had to sleep for one night. Inevitably, Su Tan'er had mixed feelings.
After that, they picked up the bride and paraded through the streets. The range was set within the territory of the Tyrant's Blade Camp on Xiliu Street. However, the Tyrant's Blade Camp was more cohesive. Every family prepared some food and wine and prepared some auspicious words. When they returned to the main residence of the Tyrant's Blade Camp and were about to perform the Heaven and Earth ceremony in front of Fang La, Shao Xianying, and the others, it was already close to evening. At this time, lanterns and firecrackers began to be lit in various places in the city. It became lively and the light began to illuminate the entire sky.
Outside of Hangzhou, the activity in the military camp that surrounded the city could be seen. Tong Guan, who was about to eat, came out of the camp and looked at everything from afar. "What's going on?"
"It seems like … they're having a wedding?"
"… Damn it."
As the sky darkened, the fireworks and firecrackers on Xiliu Street rose into the sky. Amidst the fireworks, it became more and more lively. At the other end of the city, Lou Shuwan, who was wearing a black dress, walked out of her room in what used to be the Lou Family's residence. She watched for a while before asking the person beside her, "What's going on?"
After Lou Jinlin and Lou Shuwang died, the Lou Family's situation had deteriorated drastically. Although it was said that a starving camel was still bigger than a horse, the circulation of resources in the city was no longer within the Lou Family's control ever since the war began. Ever since the mourning period, Lou Shuwan could feel the decline and coldness of the death aura that was gradually spreading in this family. Second Brother Lou Shuheng was completely dispirited. He spent his days drinking and fooling around with women. Lou Shuwan could only try her best to maintain her sobriety. However, everything around her was like a swamp that was constantly pulling her down. She didn't know what she should do and could only let the darkness devour her bit by bit …
After that incident, Qin Gu, who killed Tiger Toutuo, had already left. However, Fairy Wei Lingxue of the Spirited Mountain was still here. Compared to the dispirited main family, as a martial artist, she naturally kept up with all kinds of information. At this moment, Wei Lingxue hesitated for a moment and finally said, "The Tyrant's Saber Camp is organizing a marriage. I heard that … Ning Liheng is going to marry that Hu Guo Princess, Liu Qianqian …" In Fang La's military branch, Fang Baihua was the Follow-up Princess, while Liu Guogua was conferred the title of Hu Guo Princess.
Hearing the name Ning Liheng, Lou Shuwan's hands suddenly trembled. Her eyes trembled and her expression froze for a moment before she finally raised her head and said, "Oh." The light from afar shone on her face. No one knew what she was thinking or what she could think. After a long while, she finally turned around and went back to the cold room …
In the small courtyard, Su Tan 'er and the others were also watching the fireworks, eating, chatting, and playing Gomoku. Occasionally, Juan' er would also ask, "Miss, Xiaochan, what do you think the son-in-law is doing now?" Xiaochan would look at Su Tan 'er with a wronged expression. Su Tan' er could only roll her eyes and say, "I'm not thinking about it!"
As for what Ning Yi was doing, the wedding in the stronghold actually followed the same pattern. After the ceremony, they would drink and eat as much meat as they could and make a lot of noise. After Fang La and the other big shots left, they became even more lawless. Some people took off their clothes and fought each other. Some people drank and cursed. Chen Fan took Ning Yi's gun and wanted to shoot the apple placed on Zheng Qi Ming's head. In the end, he hit the tiles on the roof, and so on.
Ning Yi managed to get away in time. At least, he didn't get drunk. After all, there was a hierarchy in the Tyrant Blade Camp. Liu Gua was married, so no one dared to get her groom drunk. Liu Tiannan and the others also tried their best to avoid this kind of thing. However, it was already late when they got away. They passed through the back hall and came to the courtyard where the bridal chamber was located. It was quiet and empty.
When they pushed the door open, the big red candles illuminated the bridal chamber with a warm red glow. A young girl wearing a red veil, a bright red dress, and red embroidered shoes sat quietly on the edge of the bed. Her hands were clasped in front of her knees. No one knew how long she had been sitting like this. At least, Ning Yi knew that after she was brought in after the ceremony, he had to deal with the crowd outside for a long time.
After closing the door, Ning Yi stood there for a while. Then, he walked over to the golden scale on the table and lifted the veil. The young girl wearing the big phoenix coronet blinked and looked at him a few times. Then, she lowered her head slightly. Although she did not look shy, she was definitely not the Liu Dabiao, the villa master of the Tyrannical Saber Villa, who wielded his saber and shook the world. Similar to the night three days ago, she looked like a beautiful, curious, and quiet girl who was a little sensible right now.
His original idea was to be more open-minded and say a few simple and natural topics to dilute the awkwardness of this matter. However, after a while, Ning Yi found that he didn't know what to say …
*****
The name of the chapter was only half of it. It would be complete when it was connected with the next chapter. Haha, what would it feel like when the two of them consummate their marriage …
