They hugged each other tightly and completely forgot about time.

How long has it been... neither of them had a specific impression.

They slowly let go of each other until their lips became numb and almost lost consciousness - but Qingdeng's hands were still wrapped around her waist.

Tianzhangyuan breathed a little.

Even if he no longer hugs the other person, he can clearly feel the other person's heartbeat.

Plop, plop, plop, plop, plop... conveys her current mood strongly.

Tianzhangyuan looked at him very happily and looked so happy.

Shaoqing, she sat uprightly and created a serious atmosphere.

"Sheng Qing, wait for me."

She said, twisting her body gently like a water snake.

Qingdeng let go of his hands knowingly.

After regaining her "freedom", she walked straight to a short distance - there was a paint box.

"Since it's a wedding, it's indispensable to be 'three-thirty-nine degrees'."

She said, holding the paint box with a smile and returning to Qingdeng's side.

Three-Third Nine Degrees - an important ceremony for traditional Japanese weddings. It can be understood as "Japanese style intersecting wine".

The groom and the bride each held a wine glass and drank it all in three mouthfuls.

Since Tianzhangyuan mentioned the "three-three-nine degrees", Qingdeng guessed what was contained in this lacquer box.

Sure enough, after Tianzhangyuan opened the lacquer box, he saw a pot of sake and two wine glasses inside.

Because this was a wedding with only two of them, Qingdeng and Tianzhangyuan had to do it themselves and fill the cup in front of them with wine.

Sip the first two sips gently, and drink the wine in the glass in the last sip.

"Cough...cough...cough...cough...cough..."

Tianzhangyuan is not used to drinking alcohol.

Even this kind of sake with a very low degree made her face red and tears burst into tears.

However, even so, she still held back and drank it all in one go.

The "three-three-nine degrees" ended... Qingdeng realized that his wedding with Tianzhangyuan seemed to have ended here.

Without a ceremonial master and without any clergy, there will naturally be no wedding activities.

Therefore, all they can do now is to drink a glass of wine.

Qingdeng put down the empty cup in his hand and looked at the empty temple in front of him thoughtfully.

After a while, a touch of complex and unspeakable emotions attached to his cheeks.

This is his wedding with Tianzhangyuan... but it is so deserted.

It would be fine if there were no guests, and even the relatives of both sides were not present.

It’s so lonely and so beautiful... to put it bluntly, it makes people feel a little pitiful.

To be honest, this made Qingdeng very uncomfortable...

He naturally hoped that his wife could receive blessings from everyone in a lively and festive atmosphere and spend an extremely happy day.

However, if you think about it carefully, even if you want to invite guests to the banquet, it should... no, it will definitely be difficult!

After all, this is a wedding that is destined to attract countless abuses.

The reason is that it lies in the identity of Tianzhangyuan.

She is not only the Great Okura Office of the Shogunate, but also a nun who became a monk.

After the general's death, all the wives and concubines of the generals, led by the Imperial Territory, were required to become monks - this is the rule of the shogunate.

Her hair that was specially cut short is a proof of the monks.

The combination of Tianzhangyuan and him not only violates the ethical principles and breaks Buddhist precepts...

If the outside world is informed that "the remarried by the Great Imperial Terrace" will inevitably lead to terrible criticism.

Qingdeng dared not imagine how ugly and vicious the people of the world...especially the shogunate ministers and those corrupt scholars who were deeply involved in Neo-Confucianism would use to curse the "unfaithful and impure" Tianzhangyuan.

At this time, Tianzhangyuan seemed to have seen through Qing Deng’s thoughts and smiled slightly:

"Sheng Qing, don't show such an expression."

"I just said that it doesn't matter how the wedding is."

"Since I dare to take this step, I naturally made a decision and made full enlightenment."

"I am fearless whether it is criticism from the world or the ridicule of future generations - as long as you are with me."

After saying that, she stretched out her right hand and gently held Qingdeng's left hand.

Qingdeng held it back hard.

“…In fact, we can wait a little later to have a wedding.”

"When I become stronger, strong enough to ignore all resistance, I can marry you openly."

A sonorous and powerful tone, a firmness hidden in his tone... Tianzhangyuan blinked his beautiful eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Soon, this surprise was replaced by a smile.

She slapped this smile and shook her head gently:

"Marry me openly...it's not a low level of difficulty."

"I can't wait any more."

"Women are old very fast."

"Even a beautiful beauty born with a beautiful nature can't stand the destruction of time."

"Maybe in two years, those annoying wrinkles will grow on my face, and my skin will no longer be as shiny as it is now."

"I want to wear this piece of Bai Wuqi while I am still as beautiful as a flower."

"It would be a pity if I could not wear this precious dress at the best age."

"but--"

Suddenly, the topic changed.

She turned her face and gave Qingdeng a long, soft eye wave.

"I'm glad you're willing to do this for me."

"Then, we've agreed."

"Whenever you are strong enough to ignore all obstacles in the world, just hold a wedding for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qingdeng nodded without hesitation:

"Well, I promise you that I will do my best to hold a happy wedding for you before you are old and beautiful!"

"This sentence 'Old and old, yellow' is redundant! Don't mention these annoying words in front of me!"

She obviously didn't want to talk about this slightly heavy topic anymore.

Therefore, as soon as she finished speaking, she changed her mouth slightly stiffly:

"After that being said, do you know? It is said that this shrine is very effective."

She said as she turned her head and looked at the shrine behind her.

Qingdeng followed and turned his sight.

This is an Inari Shrine, so the gods it worships are naturally the famous Inari God.

Speaking of Inari God, Aoden has a big fate with Him.

The headquarters of Shin-Oritoban, one of the most commonly visited places in Edo, the Tsukigu Shrine, is an Inari Shrine.

The shrine where he married Sanako, Amu and Toshiji was also the Inari Shrine, and it was also the main club of Inari Shrine, "Fushimi Inari Shrine".

And tonight, the place where he married Tianzhangyuan was still the Inari Shrine.

I have to say that it is a wonderful fate.

Because of this wonderful fate, whenever he sees the iconic fox stone statue outside the Inari Shrine, he feels a strange sense of familiarity.

"Very effective? Does it mean that the wishing is effective?"

"Yes, it is said that any wish can be made."

"Inari God is so powerful."

If Aoden remembers correctly, Inari God is the god of grain and food in Japanese mythology, and is in charge of the harvest.

Any wish can be made... Why can a god in charge of harvest have such great powers?

As we all know, anything related to superstition cannot stand scrutiny and there is no need to think deeply.

Therefore, Qingdeng stopped in time and stopped thinking further.

Tianzhangyuan's speech is not finished:

"I didn't speak nonsense."

“The residents nearby know this shrine.”

“Every day, many people are coming here to make wishes.”

"Although it's a rumor that I don't know the truth or falsehood, I heard that I can use a little trick when making wishes in this shrine."

"Once you use this little trick, it will be easier to achieve no matter what kind of wish you are."
