After the ceremony, Minister Huang Tong felt that he had been busy lately, to the point where the corners of his mouth were almost popping out.
When he received the day that the Venerate Heavens Sect sent him over, he immediately felt extremely angry.
June 8th?
Were they here to watch the show? He actually chose such a hasty day!
Huang Tong and Cui Yajie, who was holding onto the list that the imperial overseer had given them, looked for their boss, Cui Yajie. ”How could the crown prince's wedding be arranged in less than half a month's time?”
Cui Yajie, the Minister of Rites, knew that Huang Tong was referring to Xiao Rui's wedding.
He looked outside and confirmed that there was no one outside the room. Then, he dragged Huang Tong and pointed at Xiao Rui's name that was on the gift slip, ”You know who this person is, right? The Venerate Heavens Sect is completely afraid of getting into trouble. ”
Hearing Cui Yajie's words, Huang Tong immediately understood.
This was the fourth time the Ministry of Rites had helped Prince Jin's son, Xiao Rui, supervise the wedding.
He had personally handled it twice!
In the middle of all the preparations, the bride suddenly fell ill and died.
He was simply unprepared.
”This time, the nobles of the palace also want them to get married as soon as possible.” Cui Yajie blinked his eyes at Huang Tong and the two of them.
”But …” ”But …” Huang Tong was about to explain, but Cui Jianzi cut him off. ”What's so good about it?” ”It's just a matter of spending more money.”
Since the people in the upper echelons had expressed their stance, it was as if Huang Tong had suddenly gained a backbone.
First, he ordered people to prepare the Naji Li as soon as possible, and then he personally went to the Venerate Heavens Sect to get a lucky day.
The overseer heard that the prince's son, Xiao Rui, greeted Naji and chose May 28.
On the 28th of May, early in the morning, the lights of Sansui Lane were lit, and in succession came the ladies and ladies who came in carriages to congratulate them.
The manager's wife quickly ran to the inner courtyard to report that née Qin was wearing a red five-colored makeup dress. She was escorted by a servant girl and her wife to the inner courtyard.
The first one to arrive was Mrs. Qi, who helped her personal servant out of the car.
It was almost June, and the weather had already started to get hot. Madam Qi had intentionally worn a red silk dress embroidered with begonias, but she didn't think that her back would still be sweating from the heat.
This was the first time she came to Three String Alley, so she secretly looked around her. Fortunately, there were still a few lush camphor trees, locust trees, and dates growing on both sides of the three-string alleyway, blocking out the sunlight like an umbrella.
When the Qin family saw her, they welcomed her with a smile: ”Second cousin.”
Madam Qi resisted the discomfort and said with a smile, ”I came here earlier today to see if there's anything I can help with.”
Jiang Yan and Xiao Qian Shu, who had alighted from the carriage behind Madam Qi, tidied up their clothes before walking in front of Madam Qin together. One of them said, ”Greetings Third Aunt, and the other, Greetings Madam Jiang.”
née Qin smiled and nodded in agreement, then let Mother Du bring them into the inner courtyard.
