Chapter 184 184

The wedding date between Guo Xiao and Princess Duanhui is scheduled for the 20th day of the first lunar month.

In fact, the two had already given the marriage decree, and the princess dowry that should be prepared had been almost done. The Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Revenue were busy planning the major event of the Liao Kingdom, and the Ministry of Rites did not need to be involved. Therefore, although the days between the date of marriage and the marriage were shorter, it was only two months later, but on the day of marriage, it still caused a sensation in the capital, and the people excitedly ran to the street to watch the fun.

Guo Xiao rode on the horse in a red robe, looking forward with expressionless face. On both sides of the street, the people all looked forward to it, stunningly speaking to the prince-consort and politely, and envied the long dowry behind the ceremonial guard. Guo Xiao's eyes occasionally swept across the faces of the old and young men and women. The slightly cold wind in the first month blew towards him. Guo Xiao's eyes were cold and his heart was also cold.

He got married, and the irrelevant people were more happy than him, but he didn't feel anything, because she was not in the sedan chair.

The ceremony of ceremonial war stopped in front of the Duke's mansion.

Guo Xiao is the prince and the head of the future Duke's Mansion. His wife is the clan wife. Therefore, although Emperor Xuande gave a princess's mansion to his daughter, Princess Duanhui will still live in the Guo family in the future and the marriage will be held at the Duke's Mansion.

During the wedding, the princess's family, except for the former Chu King, King Rui, King Shou and King Gong, who were imprisoned in the Nangong, all brought their families to the wedding banquet.

The male guests watched the ceremony in the front yard, and Song Jianing and several princesses, and the imperial concubines were waiting in the back yard to see the bride.

"How many months have you been?" Li Mulan sat next to Song Jianing in the East Nuan Pavilion and asked at the hem of her slightly bulging jacket. The weather was still cold, and the clothes were thick and she couldn't show how big her belly was.

Song Jianing smiled and stretched out his right hand to her, his white little hand, like a tender and tender lotus root.

Five months... Li Mulan calculated, raised her eyebrows and smiled and said, "You should have a slower life, maybe I can catch up with your second child."

This time when the Great Zhou attacked Liao, Li Mulan and Prince Gong were about to go to war.

When Song Jianing mentioned this, he was worried for her and couldn't help asking about Li Mulan's preparations. Li Mulan was very fascinated. The only dissatisfaction was that Emperor Xuande insisted that she lead the troops with King Gong. Since last spring, Li Mulan didn't know what King Gong had to do wrong, so she took the initiative to send the concubines and leaned into her room with a stern face, forcing her to ask someone to get contraceptive medicine. Otherwise, with King Gong's greed, Li Mulan was really afraid that she would get pregnant.

As a wife, Li Mulan would give birth to a baby for King Gong, but that would have to be after she went to the battlefield.

"Why haven't the fourth brother and sister been moving for so long?"

The sisters-in-law chatted well, and Princess Rui suddenly interrupted and joked like a joke: "The third brother and sister are younger than you, so they are pregnant with a second one. We women should put having children in front of us."

Li Mulan glanced at her indifferently and said bluntly: "Sparrows, swans, everyone has their own wishes. My second sister-in-law has a baby with peace of mind, so you don't have to worry about me."

Princess Rui was talking about having children, but Li Mulan only mentioned giving birth. She said that she did not mock Princess Rui for giving birth to two daughters. Not to mention Princess Rui, even Song Jianing didn't believe it. Song Jianing pretended not to hear it and turned his head to serve tea. Sister Mulan didn't like to listen to others' advice to her to abide by the virtues of women. Princess Rui was hit by herself.

Princess Rui was so angry that she was afraid of being laughed at by other destiny women because of her bad face. Princess Rui grabbed the veil and suddenly glanced at Song Jianing's belly, and smiled and said, "My third brother and sister are still not sure where they are. Now I hope that my third brother and sister will give us a little nephew, which will make the emperor happy."

Joke, she is not the only one in the room who is looking forward to her son, but she wants to see if Song Jianing's baby is still a daughter. Remembering Li Mulan's sarcasm, will the relationship between the two continue to improve?

Faced with Princess Rui's provocation, Song Jianing did not respond.

"Don't care, I'll just annoy her." Li Mulan leaned over and whispered to Song Jianing. Li Mulan did not hate women who abide by the three obediences and four virtues. Everyone has their own laws. Moreover, she was born in the general's mansion and witnessed her grandfather, uncle and cousins ​​practice martial arts and cultivated a passion. If she was born in an ordinary mansion and her mother was disciplined strictly at a young age, she might be the same as other ladies.

Song Jianing is gentle and friendly and treats people sincerely. Li Mulan likes such sisters very much. But if she is like Princess Rui who likes to provoke trouble, Li Mulan will dislike him.

"I know." Song Jianing blinked at her playfully, "I only wish Sister Mulan will win and win as soon as possible."

"Absolute." Li Mulan smiled and touched her belly. "If it was a son, the third prince would teach her. If it was a daughter, I would teach her kung fu in the future."

Song Jianing laughed. Sister Mulan really can’t speak, but it seems that she has a daughter who knows how to do kung fu.

"Here you come, the prince consort and the others are here!"

Quanfu people were excitedly outside, and the women in the warm-up hall stood up and looked at the princesses.

Princess Rui was the leader and took the lead. Li Mulanxu held Song Jianing's arm, which was even more nervous than Song Jianing's child. She had never been pregnant before. I don't know that the pregnant woman did not look so fragile. Song Jianing's pregnancy was very smooth, and she didn't feel anything when she had morning sickness. She had been eased to be five months. At this moment, what she was even more curious about was the new couple.

Walking out of the main hall, Song Jianing looked up, and in the corridor diagonally opposite, the bride and groom held the red silk end and turned side by side.

Guo Xiao saw Song Jianing under the eaves of the corridor at a glance. She wore a lotus-colored jacket, which was not prominent among a group of noble ladies. But no matter what she wore, every time she met, Guo Xiao would find her first. How difficult was it to meet? Guo Xiao could hardly remember when the last time he met. It seemed that in a blink of an eye, she became pregnant again.

His eyes flew past her abdomen, and Guo Xiao lowered his eyes, holding the red silk hand tightly.

After getting off the corridor, the newcomers came to the guests. Song Jianing followed Li Mulan to the side, looking at Princess Duanhui with a smile on her face. Guo Xiao passed by her side, but took the opportunity to look at her without any concealment, looking at her white and rosy cheeks, and her increasingly charming eyebrows and eyes. The gaze seemed to have just been roasted from the fire, so hot that Song Jianing could not ignore it.

She pursed her lower lip, but never looked up at him, only looking at the burly figure in a big red wedding robe and passing by.

"Mom!" After the newcomer passed, Mao Ge'er and Zhaozhao were following behind him with excitement. Mao Ge'er is eight years old and is still very competent to coax her niece. Zhaozhao also likes to play with her uncle.

When she met her daughter's watery almond eyes, Song Jianing calmed down a little, touched her daughter's head, and went in to see the groom picking up the veil.

The veil was raised, Princess Duanhui was dressed up in a gorgeous dress, with a little shyness of her daughter's family, but she was much more bold, and looked up at the groom openly. Guo Xiao finally smiled, staring at Princess Duanhui with black eyes, and the unfading fire in her eyes was just like the groom's desire for the bride.

Only then did Princess Duanhui feel nervous and lower her head shyly.

It was about to have a drink of wine, Guo Xiao sat next to Princess Duanhui and faced the female family watching the ceremony.

Uncontrolled and unwilling to control, Guo Xiao looked at her again.

Song Jianing lowered his head and asked the little girl in front of him softly: "Is my aunt beautiful?"

Zhao Zhao blinked, pointed at Princess Duanhui and shouted: "Auntie!" Not my aunt.

The women laughed, and someone joined in to teach the little princess of the Shouwang family: "I used to be an aunt, but today I will change my words to call her aunt."

Seeing that everyone was laughing, Zhaozhao seemed to understand and called Princess Duanhui Aunt.

Princess Duanhui has never liked Song Jianing and his daughter very much. Only at this moment, she really missed the mother and the mother for a while, and glanced at her groom's cousin with a red face. Guo Xiao was also laughing, but the smile only went to the surface. She took half of the gourd that meant good luck. When the palace maid poured the wine, he immediately poured it into his mouth. However, the wine was not strong at all, and it was not as good as the fire in his body.

After completing his courtesy, Guo Xiao went to the front yard to accompany the guests and took Mao Ge'er away.

Zhaozhao still wanted to go with her, but Song Jianing didn't let her go. As soon as the sky was dark, she took her daughter back to her palace first.

However, the princes of Zhao Heng and others still had to socialize. Princess Duanhui was willful, but after all, she was the only princess in the palace. Except for Zhao Heng, King Rui, King Gong, and the former King of Chu all loved Princess Duanhui very much. Today, Guo Xiao married their sister, King Rui, and King Gong were not willing to spare Guo Xiao easily and kept drinking.

Zhao Heng had no intention of joining in the fun and sat in the seat to drink and drink.

"Lao Lao, you are just your brother-in-law tonight, not your sister-in-law. Come and get him!" Guo Xiao was so drunk that King Rui could not resist it. Seeing the third brother who was out of the matter like a god, King Rui immediately instigated, looking forward to seeing the third brother who was drunk and ugly.

After hearing this, Guo Xiao put down the empty wine bowl and turned to Zhao Heng.

Not far away, Guo Boyan's heart thumped, worried that his eldest son would get into trouble if he drank too much.

Guo Xiao knew that his father was looking at him, so he didn't say anything. He just took the wine bowl handed over by someone. Before bowing his head to drink, he smiled at King Shou with a meaningful smile. It was a provocation between men. Zhao Heng understood it and witnessed Guo Xiao finishing the bowl. Zhao Heng came over with his own, and said politely to Guo Xiao: "Congratulations."

Guo Xiao stared at him tightly.

Zhao Heng understood his eyes, but King Gong and others pretended that Guo Xiao drank straight and poured another bowl. Guo Xiao raised the bowl and touched Zhao Heng, then raised his head and drank it in big mouthfuls, without leaking water. Zhao Heng only wanted to take a sip. After Guo Xiao finished drinking, he saw him like this, and sneered: "Are you afraid, isn't your prince?"

King Rui took the lead in laughing.

Zhao Heng also laughed and apologized: "Zhaozhao doesn't like drinking, so he drinks less and laughs when he sees it."

Guo Xiao's eyes turned cold. Is Zhao Zhao not likes drinking or her?

"It's getting late, I'll say goodbye first." After respecting the groom, Zhao Heng handed over the wine bowl to Eunuch Fu who had been following him and served him, and then left as if no one was around. Guo Boyan respectfully went to see him off, Guo Xiao frowned, but was soon surrounded by a group of male guests, filling him one bowl after another.
