Chapter 79 Urging the Marriage
As the night falls, it is a peaceful time to immerse yourself in the sea of books, but it is interrupted by banging sounds from far away from time to time, making it difficult to calm down.
However, when the scholar stepped out of the room, the sight in front of him instantly made him forget all his worries.
In the night sky, bunches of firelight pierced the darkness and burst into colorful fireworks. Such a spectacle,
It was something he had never seen in his life, and he was instantly immersed in this pure beauty. The imperial examination and fame seemed to become insignificant at this moment.
At the same time, in a corner of Kyoto, in a dark and narrow alley, a white-haired old beggar was huddled in the corner. He had already fallen asleep, but was awakened by a sudden sound.
He was worried in his heart, worried about the approaching thunderstorm and where his helpless body would rest.
But when he looked up at the sky, he was stunned by the fireworks feast in front of him. The gorgeous light was something he had never seen in his decades of life. It was so beautiful that it was intoxicating.
On the other side of Kyoto, a little girl ran excitedly to her home. Her immature voice was filled with the joy of discovering new things, calling her mother to enjoy the miracle in the night sky.
At first, the mother thought it was her child's childishness, but when she walked out of the house and looked up at the starry sky of fireworks, she couldn't help but be shocked by the beauty, her eyes full of wonder and tenderness.
These three different scenes, three completely different lives,
At this moment, we are all closely connected by the sudden fireworks, witnessing this beauty that transcends age, status and circumstances.
The entire Kyoto was immersed in unprecedented tranquility, as if time had frozen at this moment.
The fireworks feast at Li Chengze's wedding became a bridge connecting common people and nobles, the market and the romantic world. Everyone's eyes were tightly attracted by the gorgeous fireworks blooming in the night sky.
Hundreds of boxes of fireworks, grouped into groups of three, continued to bloom for more than half an hour, decorating the night sky in Kyoto like a dream.
When the last glow of the fireworks dissipated in the sky, people were still immersed in the shock and beauty, unwilling to return to their senses for a long time.
Third Prince Li Chengping finally couldn't restrain his inner excitement and took the lead to break the tranquility, praising Li Chengze: "Second brother, those fireworks are so beautiful!
When I get married, you will also prepare fireworks like this for me! "
Li Chengze heard the words and agreed with a smile, but he did not expect that these words would immediately trigger Li Chengping's request to "urge marriage" to Emperor Qing, which made Emperor Qing feel helpless and secretly laugh at the child's innocence and directness.
Emperor Qing looked away from Li Chengping and turned to Li Chengze, his eyes full of approval: "These fireworks are not only beautiful, but also add to the joy. Every important moment of my Daqing in the future should have something like this." Fireworks accompaniment.”
Li Chengze responded respectfully, informing Emperor Qing that the recipe for fireworks had been handed over to Fan Xian, and that the three major workshops were about to be put into production, indicating that Daqing would be full of fireworks and bright fireworks in the future.
Emperor Qing felt a surge of expectation in his heart. He knew that this was not only the blooming of fireworks, but also a symbol of the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people.
He is looking forward to the day when every inch of Daqing is illuminated by gorgeous fireworks. What a grand scene it will be!
"Your Majesty is wise, the Daqing is prosperous, and all the people celebrate together!" All civil and military officials congratulated in unison at the right time, and the atmosphere was warm and solemn.
Although the merchants were not as astute as the officials, they followed suit and joined the celebration, making the whole occasion even more lively.
As night fell and the fireworks feast came to an end, Emperor Qing announced a little tiredly: "Today's grand occasion is enough to comfort my heart.
It's getting late and I want to go back to the palace to rest. You two should go to the bridal chamber as soon as possible to give me a grandson. "As soon as these words came out, the guests got up and left in succession, and a grand wedding slowly came to an end.
Li Chengze's wedding has undoubtedly become a major event that attracts attention in Kyoto and even the whole country.
Thousands of catties of candies were sprinkled like rain, the precious gifts of gas fruits, the emergence of banks and the influx of huge funds, as well as the shocking fireworks show, all pushed this wedding to unprecedented heights.
For the guests present, this is not only a witness to a wedding, but also a feast for the eyes and soul.
"Chengze, although this bracelet is not a rare treasure, it has been with me for many years and I have deep love for it.
I give it to Ling'er now. I hope your relationship will be as strong as gold and we will grow old together. "
Before leaving, Concubine Shu personally took off the bracelet from her wrist and gave it to Li Chengze. Her words were full of blessings and expectations.
Li Chengze took the bracelet with both hands respectfully and bowed deeply:
"Thanks to my mother and concubine's love, this gift is of great significance. I will definitely convey it to Ling'er to express my gratitude for my mother and concubine's deep friendship."
He is well aware of the principle of "don't dare to refuse when given by elders", and he also understands that behind this bracelet is not only the material value, but also the family inheritance and the blessings of the elders. "Now that you have a family, you have entered adulthood, and you need to be mature, steady and self-sufficient."
Concubine Shu said sincerely, "As a husband, he will also be the father of his children in the future, so he needs to be thoughtful and prudent in his actions."
She warned again, full of concern.
Hearing this, Li Chengze smiled and said:
"My mother and concubine's teachings, I will keep them in mind. You have mentioned these words many times, how can I forget them?"
When Concubine Shu heard this, she was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Look at my memory. As I get older, I forget everything I said in a blink of an eye. Don't think I'm verbose."
"Mother and concubine are serious. How many people can only ask for such care."
Li Chengze replied gently. Although he was not related by blood, he was deeply touched by this warmth.
After a warm conversation, Concubine Shu and Emperor Qing left together, and then the eldest prince, prince, and third prince also said goodbye to Li Chengze.
The hustle and bustle of the wedding gradually dissipated, and the entire Kyoto and the mansion became quiet.
The affairs of the house are properly arranged by the housekeeper, and Li Chengze does not need to say anything.
He walked briskly towards the wedding room, his heart full of anticipation.
On the wedding night, the beloved wife at home is eagerly looking forward to it. She must cherish this beautiful moment.
Thinking of discussing the learning materials left by Ye Qingmei with Ye Ling'er, Li Chengze felt even more anxious, hoping that she could take this opportunity to make some progress.
At this time, in the wedding room, Ye Ling'er sat quietly under the red candle, her face covered with a red hijab. She quietly raised her wrist, looked through the red gauze, and thought to herself:
"It's late at night, it's almost midnight, why haven't you seen your husband come back?" Although there is a slight anger in my heart, it is also full of sweetness and expectation.
As a burst of light footsteps approached, the door was slowly pushed open with a creak, and Ye Linger's heart trembled slightly, feeling both nervous and full of anticipation.
Could it be that it was him, His Highness, who finally came to her world?
The door was fully opened, and Li Chengze's figure came into view. He was dressed in fine clothes and walked steadily.
His eyes fell on Ye Ling'er's bright red wedding dress. She was sitting on the bed, like a fairy in a painting.
The corner of Li Chengze's mouth curled up with a gentle arc. He stepped forward gently, picked up the scale beam on the side, and gently lifted the red hijab on Ye Ling'er's head.
The candlelight flickered, reflecting Ye Ling'er's beautiful face. Li Chengze couldn't help but admired from the bottom of his heart:
“It’s so beautiful!”
He thought to himself that the ancient saying of "seeing beauty under the lamp" did have some truth.
The soft light at night seems to cover the beautiful woman with a mysterious and charming veil, making her beauty even more hazy and moving.
He further thought that the light at night might really have some kind of "beautification" effect. It cleverly covered up the tiny flaws on the skin, leaving only the purest and most moving brilliance. No wonder people often say that night is an excellent time to warm up emotions. Perhaps it is this inadvertent "beauty" blessing that makes everything look better.
Feeling Li Chengze's praise, Ye Linger's cheeks turned red, feeling shy and happy at the same time.
She shook her head gently, trying to hide her eagerness: "No, there's no rush..." Her voice was as thin as a gnat, but she couldn't hide the girl's unique shyness.
When Li Chengze saw this, a playful smile appeared on his lips:
"Oh? Are you really not in a hurry? How about I go outside to get some fresh air and come back later?"
There was a bit of ridicule in his words, which made Ye Ling'er speechless for a moment. She could only respond in silence, but her heart was full of mixed emotions.
