The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.
Just after dawn, the new king appeared in the main hall, dressed in imperial robes.
Today is the wedding day.
In the fifty years since the founding of Da Qi, he married a queen for the first time.
The person who served as the welcoming messenger was the eldest son of the old Prime Minister Lu Qian. He had two sons and a daughter, and his parents were in the house. He was a blessed man.
Guo Xu originally wanted this job, but Xinjun thought that he had too many concubines in his family, which was unlucky, so he could only touch his nose and forget about it, muttering a few words in his heart.
Why is it unlucky to have many concubines? Isn’t it auspicious for the royal family to be thin and sparse?
But there is no way to explain this. If you do, he will be cut down.
Forget it, if he had known that His Majesty's husband was weak, he would have just hugged the Queen's thigh!
After completing a set of etiquette, the bride-welcoming messenger took Caiyu out of the palace gate and went to Ji's house.
The Ji family's new home was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and it was full of joy. Everyone was smiling.
Aunt Tong got up early in the morning and offered incense to Mrs. Ming San. She was so happy that she cried and laughed.
The young lady is married, and she can finally take care of herself in retirement.
There was only one person. Not only did he not have any joy on his face, he also had a sullen expression, as if he was owed tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Ji Ling was so busy that his feet didn't even touch the floor. When he saw Ji Xiaowu sitting there in a daze, he became very angry.
"Dad, I can't count on you, and you can't count on me either? Put away that stupid look on your face and go treat the guests!"
Ji Xiaowu was half-dead and said: "I don't even know him..."
"You think I know each other? Who cared about our family in the past? Now all the cats and dogs come to congratulate me. It's impossible to ignore her, otherwise everyone will be counted as my cousin. Get up! It's already this time, and it's too late for you to regret it!"
Ji Xiaowu, who had been lazy just now, suddenly jumped up, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "What regrets? Brother, don't talk nonsense!"
Ji Lingqi asked: "Why are you reacting so harshly? Didn't I just say that?"
"How can you say this casually? My cousin is about to get married, and she is still married to that person...Aren't you trying to discredit your cousin?"
Ji Ling couldn't laugh or cry: "Isn't it mine?"
"Isn't that right?" Ji Xiaowu said confidently and arrogantly, "It's okay for me to be gossiped about. If you gossip about your cousin, how can you be so embarrassed, brother?"
"Okay, okay." Ji Ling begged for mercy, "I said something wrong. In order not to discredit my cousin, can you show your dignity and entertain the guests?"
Ji Xiaowu really had no reason to refuse, so he had to get up reluctantly.
Ji Ling watched him go outside and couldn't help but sigh.
What a stupid boy. No matter what, there is no possibility of recovery anyway. It would be better not to enlighten.
Ji Ling took the time to drink a few sips of tea and went out to continue entertaining the guests. Suddenly, he noticed two unfamiliar servants walking towards the backyard.
"Hey, stop." He called to the two people, "Who are you? How come I haven't seen you before?"
The Ji family moved to a new home. The house was much larger and there were many more servants. But Ji Ling had a good memory and could not remember anything he saw.
The two servant girls turned around, knelt down and saluted, and one of them smiled and replied: "Master Ji, we are from Anxi."
Ji Ling paused.
Anxi is the birthplace of his second sister's mother-in-law's family.
The Ji family attaches great importance to the royal wedding, and everyone who can come comes.
If so, it's really possible that I haven't seen it.
After carefully looking at the two servants, their clothes, hairstyle, and demeanor were all normal. Ji Ling nodded and said, "The wedding messenger is coming soon. Don't move around."
The two maids responded respectfully: "Yes."
…
I was woken up before dawn tomorrow.
The etiquette was complicated, and until this time, she was still wearing a dress under the service of the palace servants.
"Why are there so many layers?" she couldn't help but complain.
The palace servant sent to dress her smiled and said: "This is a big dress, there are regulations inside and outside. Please be patient, you can't wear it more than once a year."
But Duofu was very happy: "How beautiful this dress is! It looks great on Miss!"
After finally putting on the dress, Ming Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can I rest for a while?"
The palace servant replied: "Please sit down for a while. The bride-to-be will arrive in half an hour."
Mingwei nodded: "Thank you, bring me a cup of tea."
The palace attendant quickly stopped him: "Miss Mingqi, the wedding won't end until midnight. If you drink water, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient..."
Unexpectedly, Mingwei had a headache: "Then I'm going to be thirsty all day?"
The palace people laughed with me.
With no other choice, Mingwei could only admit: "Okay, just for one day."
Seeing how sleepy she looked, the palace attendant said knowingly, "Please rest for a while. The servants are waiting outside."
Mingwei nodded: "Okay, before the wedding messenger comes, you guys should rest for a while."
"Thank you for your consideration. I will take my leave."
Mingwei sat bored for a while, touched his stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry. Have I had breakfast?"
Duofu replied: "Miss, you ate three buns and a small piece of cake."
"It's quite a lot! Why are you hungry..."
Duofu opened the snack box and asked, "How about you eat some cakes first?"
Mingwei shook his head: "Forget it, I can't drink water, I'll lose my appetite just looking at it."
Duofu has always been a considerate and good maid. After racking her brains for a while, an idea suddenly struck her: "Miss, how about I go to the kitchen to steam an egg custard? There is little soup and it won't be dry."
Mingwei thought of the yellow custard and wanted to eat it, so she nodded in agreement: "Okay, hurry up, the guard of honor will be here soon."
"Don't worry, I'll run over." After Duofu said that, he ran away quickly.
Mingwei sat in front of the dressing table and waited.
The bright and bright face reflected in the mirror made her feel dazed for a moment.
It had been five years since she came to this world, and before she knew it, she had become accustomed to looking like this. On the contrary, the face that truly belonged to her in her previous life had faded away in her memory.
In the past, she had never thought that she would get married one day. The moment she decided to become a fortune teller, it was destined that she would not be able to get married and have children like ordinary women.
She has never felt regretful, and is even full of joy. She can spread her wings and fly high, travel across rivers and seas, do more things, and save more people.
If you fall in love with someone in the future, you will form a marriage with them and become a like-minded partner.
If you can't go the same way, then it's not a bad idea to keep some memories.
But she came to this world.
Met someone.
There is already a fortune teller here, she can take off her responsibilities and live another life.
Maybe not so free, but his deep love made her willing to try.
There was a knock on the door, and a strange voice rang: "Cousin, Miss Duofu is delayed for something, please ask your servant to deliver something on her behalf."
"Come in."
The door opened slightly, and the two maids stepped into the room with low eyebrows. The first one put the food box on the table and took out the freshly stewed egg custard.
Mingwei felt that she was becoming greedy and couldn't wait to eat.
The maid handed it to her diligently: "Please use it slowly."
She took a spoonful and put it into her mouth, frowning.
The servant girl quickly asked: "Isn't it delicious?"
Mingwei felt her stomach was filled with overwhelming feelings and couldn't help but open her mouth and vomit it out. (To be continued)
