The head of the Mu family

Chapter 151 Happy Event

After the ceremony, Qianyan was about to set off to fetch her bride.

The regent gave a signal, and the crown prince immediately led a group of princes to join the wedding procession.

The handsome groom sat on horseback, exuding a strong scholarly air, yet also displaying the vigor and spirit of a martial artist.

Dressed in his wedding attire, with a handsome face and imposing presence, he attracted envious glances from countless unmarried women on the way to pick up his bride.

Upon arriving at the mountain villa on the outskirts of the city, the prince's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

The bride was welcomed off in a lively and joyous manner, and the old servant who survived the manor was moved to tears.

After circling around the capital again, they returned to the Cui residence at nightfall and began the ceremony of paying respects to Heaven and Earth.

During the second bow to the parents, the Regent and his wife, apart from the people from the Cui residence, sat in the position of the parents, as expected by everyone else.

Qianyan immediately gave Xuanshui a wink, and Xuanshui and Xuanhuo respectfully placed the memorial tablets of Cui's parents, which they were holding, into the arms of the Regent and his wife.

The Regent and his wife almost lost their composure for a moment, but quickly regained their composure.

Soon when they were about to perform the wedding ceremony, the Regent and his wife immediately had tears in their eyes.

In front of everyone, the princess presented a set of top-quality jade necklace and earrings.

Everyone secretly admired:

The Regent and his wife truly treat their nephew like their own son!

Amidst a chorus of unsuspecting blessings, the wedding ceremony was held in a lively atmosphere, and the bride was led to the bridal chamber.

Soon, Qianyan arrived at the bridal chamber and followed the matchmaker through the rituals to lift her veil.

Huai Sheng’s beautiful face, reflected in the water, appeared before him, and he was somewhat stunned by the sight.

Huai Sheng blushed slightly at the sight and gently kicked him before he came to his senses.

When she came to her senses, she realized that everyone in the room was smiling, and Qianyan was also very happy.

"This headdress is so heavy, I've been wearing it all day."

"Qingyun, Qingtian, first help the lady remove her makeup and have some food. I'll be back shortly!"

She spoke briefly before going out to offer toasts, and didn't return for a long time.

Since there were no elders in the Cui household, Qianyan saw off all the guests, and the servants tidied up in an orderly manner.

Qianyan returned to the main courtyard, took off her wedding dress and handed it to Qingyun to keep safe. Then she washed off the smell of alcohol and changed into casual clothes.

The room was warm, and Huaisheng had changed into his casual clothes and was dozing off by the lamp.

Seeing this peaceful and serene scene, Qianyan's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Qingyun and Qingtian quietly withdrew and rested to the side.

Qianyan composed herself, tiptoed over, and gently picked up Huaisheng.

Huai Sheng had been waiting for him. As soon as he felt the familiar embrace, he opened his eyes and said groggily:

"I'm back~"

You must be tired after a long day, put me down~

As her soft, fragrant words reached her ears, Qianyan sat down and placed Huaisheng on her lap.

"Oh dear..."

"You are my wife now~"

"I'm your husband now, this will just be an ordinary thing from now on~"

Huai Sheng shyly buried her face in his neck. Qian Yan put one arm around her and gently stroked her face with the other.

"Sweetie~ Even though we'll be going back to Yedu at the end of the year and holding the wedding ceremony before consummating our marriage, we still need to drink the nuptial wine~"

A brief comment: Huai Sheng's face is so soft to touch! Now I can openly and honestly hold his warm, soft body in my arms~

Two months before consummating the marriage? No problem!

Huai Sheng looked up, and Qian Yan handed her a glass of wine, then took one for herself. The two of them drank the wine together, their eyes filled with affection.

Qianyan picked Huaisheng up again, sat on the bed, took off her clothes until she was only in her nightgown, and crawled into the quilt.

After thinking for a moment, he crawled out again and sat on the edge of the bed.

"You get into bed first, I'll turn off the light."

"Fool, just lower the curtains and drapes; those two red candles won't go out tonight."

Go turn off the other lights.

"I forgot what you called me?"

From now on, you should call him "husband"~

Huai Sheng rolled his eyes at him, took off his padded jacket, and crawled into bed wearing only his nightgown.

She smiled shyly, feeling so happy. She turned off the lights and drew the curtains as instructed, then crawled into bed.

In the dim light, she reached out and pulled Huaisheng into her arms, and Huaisheng nestled in Qianyan's embrace.

Suddenly, Qianyan swiftly pulled away from her arm, tilted her body, and jumped out of the blanket.

Huai Sheng was puzzled: What's wrong with this person?

Qianyan had already taken a new quilt from the cabinet next to her and returned to bed with a disgruntled look on her face.

Huai Sheng immediately understood and asked in a voice barely audible:

"Or... why don't you go back to your room to sleep?"

"No way! How can a husband and wife not sleep together!"

"Then let's just ignore it and..."

"No, your reputation is more important. Your master, senior brother, and Dr. Qian will be able to tell at a glance."

"We can each have our own blanket, and it'll make you happy too~"

"Okay, okay~ Then quickly make the bed and go to sleep~"

I'll pack tomorrow, and we'll leave the day after!

Qianyan first straightened the quilt for Huaisheng, and then, taking advantage of Huaisheng's inattention, pecked her full lips.

They slept peacefully until dawn. The next morning, Qianyan looked at the person beside her pillow, feeling incredibly content, and kissed Huaisheng's forehead.

After getting up, the two of them started getting busy.

Clean up yesterday's mess and pack your things so you can head to Panlong the next day.

It was cold, so everything had to be loaded onto a horse-drawn cart. The young couple took Qingtian and Xuanjin with them to Panlong.

Qingyun led the captains of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang team to Yedu first to handle the wedding arrangements; that was the main event.

Huai Sheng sent a message back by carrier pigeon, and the five captains of the Heavenly Department set off first to take back the booklet of arrangements.

Qingyue and the others distributed invitations in order according to the booklet. The master from Panlong's side took the invitations directly, while the invitations were distributed to the other three households along the way.

The next day, the two groups left the city and set off in different directions.

On Qianyan and Huaisheng's side, Qingtian often sat in front of the carriage wrapped in a cloak, accompanying Xuanjin who was driving.

Inside the carriage, the young couple felt completely at ease.

Huai Sheng leaned on Qian Yan's shoulder, rested against her, and lay on her lap.

Huaisheng: With a man cushioning me, the journey is much more comfortable!

In short: With a wife, everything I do is filled with happiness~

They drove the carriage from dawn till dusk, occasionally with Huai Sheng and his wife riding in front to let the two young lovers rest.

On the 20th of the eleventh month, Xuan Jin finally arrived at Panlong and sent invitations to the Qian family and Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu, when you've finished packing and are about to set off, please invite the Qian and Qin families along.

When I sent out invitations to the Qian and Qin families, I also told them:

Pack quickly, wait for Uncle Liu's message, and set off together.

The Qin family picked up Qian Shao and the child, and after they were all settled, they went to the Qian family so that they could set off together when Master Liu called.

Huai Sheng and Qian Yan kowtowed to their master to pay their respects, asking whether their master should travel with them first or wait a few days to go with their senior uncle and the others.

Dr. Gao knew that Huai Sheng regarded himself as a senior member of the family.

Naturally, they agreed to return together with Huaisheng. The group had lunch at Uncle Qin's house, picked up their master, and then set off back to Yedu.

Considering that we have a master with us, we need to find an inn to stay in after traveling for a short while after dark.

He continued to get up early as usual, because Dr. Gao himself also had the habit of getting up early.

Every morning after getting up, she would drag Huaisheng to practice the Five Animal Frolics for a while. Qianyan, on the other hand, took the initiative to get up early every day to practice with him.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, we finally returned to Yedu, arriving at the Mu residence just as darkness fell.
