Chapter 1,118: A Big Stick and Sweet Dates!

yone and insisted on being paid. Everyone gave her money. 。But she spent nothing and refused to see a doctor or take medicine. I wonder what she's saving all that money for...Jia Yin guessed that when...Soon, a little eunuch ran in and shouted, "Your Highness, the auspicious time is approaching. Lord Lu has come to greet his bride!"

The Third Princess took a deep breath, got up and said, "Let's go pay our respects to Father."

The Emperor and the Crown Prince had been sitting in the main hall for a while.

No matter how much trouble her daughter caused when she was young, or how reckless and foolish she was, she was still her own flesh and blood.

Today, as I marry and become a married woman, even in such a rushed situation, the Emperor must feel some guilt in his heart.

At this moment, seeing his daughter in a grand red brocade wedding gown, escorted by two elderly maids from outside the door, the Emperor's eyes welled up slightly. But he quickly cleared his throat twice, suppressing the surge of emotion.

Then the Crown Prince laughed, "Father, Third Sister is truly beautiful today, elegant and graceful!"

After saying this, he turned to the third princess and said, “Third younger sister, don’t worry about getting married. No matter what hardships or difficulties you face in the future, feel free to return to the palace. Big brother will take care of you! Of course, even when you are free, come back often to visit. Both father and I will miss you.”

This hit a nerve with the emperor. He was nearing the end of his life, and after all, Tianwu would eventually belong to his son anyway.

If a son takes good care of his daughter, he will naturally feel more at ease.

"To see you siblings getting along so closely, I am truly delighted."

At this time, Lu Cong had already come in from outside, followed by the ceremonial officer of the Ministry of Rites.

Lu Zong knelt down and kowtowed, showing the utmost respect.

A flash of coldness crossed the Emperor's eyes. Even on this day of their wedding, he couldn't forget how this young man had feigned illness before.

But it's her daughter's wedding, no matter how unhappy he is, he can't make a fuss.

"Lu Zong, today I bestow my prized jewel upon you. May your union be one of mutual respect and support.

"The princess has been pampered since she was young, her temper might be a bit willful, but she is also kind and reasonable. You should try to explain things to her more and be more tolerant, then life will naturally go smoothly."

"Yes, your Majesty's teachings shall be obeyed." Lu Zong knelt straight, his reply was crisp and concise.

The prince, seeing his father finish wielding the "rod," quickly took over and fed him "dates."

"Brother-in-law, please rise. From now on, we are all family. Whenever you have free time, come back to the palace with Third Sister more often. Don't feel constrained; just act like you're at home."

Lu Congxu seemed nervous for his first wedding. He performed the ceremony again, but didn't speak much.

Thus, with a few simple words, the auspicious time arrived.

The emcee led Princess Three and Lu Zong together to kneel down, bidding farewell to the Emperor.

The prince walked forward and knelt down. The third princess nimbly jumped onto his back. They didn't get off until they reached outside the Zilan Palace, when she then got into the flower palanquin.

The welcoming procession was as if instantly activated, immediately becoming lively and bustling.

Relying on palanquins, musical instruments, flower-decorated sedan chairs, and finally a procession of dowry items, some large items even required carriages.

The Emperor and the Crown Prince stood at the doorway, gazing out. The Emperor couldn't help but sigh.

"It's such a pity for this child, she got married in such a rush and with such meager preparations."

The prince was difficult to persuade, he couldn't just say that the one in Kunning Palace couldn't wait.

The weather was too hot, and even with large quantities of ice used daily, the body began to decompose.

The eunuchs and palace maids responsible for keeping vigil have reported this many times already.

Just two more days, waiting for the third princess to return home. That's the limit...

The wedding procession made its way out of the palace, walking along the streets. Along the way, commoners would cheer and shout joyous words.

And the palace maids and eunuchs who followed behind the flower sedan did not disappoint them either, always scattering copper coins and the like.

Thus, the flower sedan arrived near the commercial street, but half of the dowry procession was still outside the palace.

The onlookers were all gaping in amazement, their eyes reddened with envy and admiration.

"Did the Emperor give the entire imperial treasury as dowry to the princess"

"Even if it's not perfect, it's pretty close."

The Emperor had few children to begin with, and the princess grew up by his side since she was little, so he naturally favored her more. Besides, when the princess got married, not only did the Emperor bestow gifts, but there was also a portion from the Empress.

“After all these years, the Empress has amassed so many treasures. To whom else could she give them besides her only daughter”

"Makes sense."

A buzz of conversation and envy filled the air as the bridal palanquin arrived near Xiankele.

In the private room upstairs, Jia Yin and Baozhu, Xu Xi, and Mei Lan had been waiting for a long time.

Baozhu was so anxious that she was about to stick her whole body out the window. Jiayin was afraid she would fall, so she held onto her clothes tightly.

"Sister Princess, Sister Princess!" Baozhu shouted loudly, but her voice was soon lost in the din of drums.

"The pearl is a little downcast, " Princess sister didn't hear at all, should we go to the Lu family’s door"

Before anyone could speak, the window of the flower palanquin was mysteriously pushed open halfway.

Baozhu immediately went crazy, waving and shouting even harder!

"Big sister princess, I hope you're happy! Big sister princess is the best!"

Jia Yin was also excited, but more worried, and she stretched her neck to look out expectantly.

Mei Lan and Xu Xi waved their hands excitedly...

Inside the palanquin, the third princess lifted her veil with one hand and held a window fan in the other. Her eyes were already red from crying.

The old woman outside the palanquin was in a panic, whispering urgently, “Princess, you can’t be seen by outsiders right now! Please close the window quickly!”

The Third Princess, however, completely ignored him. It wasn't until the flower sedan turned a corner and she could no longer see the window where the immortal guest had been that she retracted her hand, lowered her veil, and concealed all of her emotions.

Cai Yun had always been by her master's side, knowing far more than anyone else.

Right now, she held back her heartache and cautiously approached her master, “Princess, the county princesses are all looking forward to your well-being. We're almost there, aren't you hungry I'll have some food prepared for the princess first to tide you over.”

The third princess didn't respond, so Caiyun quickly closed the small window.

Ahead, Lu Cong rode on a tall steed, his knuckles white with grip as he held the reins, his expression cold and aloof.

Just now, he also saw the person in the window.

But he didn't look at him once, not even for a second!

Soon, the procession arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion. Amidst the booming firecrackers, the third princess stepped out of her palanquin.

Lu Cong took a large red silk ball, placing one end in the Third Princess's hand and holding the other himself. The two slowly walked into the gates of the Princess Mansion.

Because the third princess had a request to keep things low-key.

Therefore, officials and noblewomen were not invited. Only about one hundred relatives attended the ceremony, but there were still ten or so tables of wine and food set up.

After the groom paid respects to heaven and earth, the princess entered the bridal chamber. Lü Zòng then stayed behind to greet the guests, chatting for a few moments before leading them to the banquet.

Jia Xu and several others followed to attend the wedding, they also helped block the wine at this time.

But Lu Cong seldom used them, almost guzzling down his wine and enjoying himself.

Seeing him like this, the clan members were delighted.

Originally, people outside said this son-in-law was untrustworthy and unreliable. However, upon seeing him today, I realized that the rumors were unfounded.

Judging by his taste in wine, the son-in-law is a rare and genuine person.

Jia Xu followed behind, his heart pounding with anxiety. He was worried that his friend would drink too much and get into trouble.

Fortunately, everyone had some sense of propriety, and after a few rounds, they stopped toasting.

But as the sun began to set, the guests dispersed. Lu Zong then had another feast prepared, entertaining Jia Xu and a few other friends, thanking them for their hard work today.

Jia Xu saw that he was avoiding going to the bridal chamber and didn't want to expose him, so he could only sigh and drink to his heart's content. The rest...

Do whatever you want!e enough to give as gifts at home, but she also prepared a present for her stepfather. She even planned to sell some of it and exchange it for some white and plump cute silver ornaments!Wenjuan sat on...
