Chapter 588 Emperor Xuan: Is It Difficult to Call Me Father?

Ning Chen knelt down and faced the eldest prince face to face.

"It's useless to kowtow. Don't try to make money from me. Marrying your sister will wipe out all my wealth."

"If I kneel down for you, I won't give you a red envelope. We are even!"

The corners of the eldest prince's mouth twitched, his face was full of embarrassment, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

Ning Chen couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your body is really weak. It seems that I have to tell His Majesty to replace all the people in your house with men. Not even a female mosquito will be left for you."

The eldest prince: "..."

His face straightened, "Ning Chen, it's not easy for you and Huai'an to get to where they are today. Today, I will hand her over to you. I wish you a harmonious husband and wife and a long life of love."

Ning Chen stood up and said, "Thank you, eldest prince... Actually, you can stand up and say this without being so humble. Princess Ninth is my woman. If you don't kneel down and beg me, I will protect her for the rest of my life."

Everyone's lips twitched, Ning Chen's mouth was too mean.

The eldest prince glared at him, grabbed Ning Chen's extended hand and stood up.

Ning Chen's eyes fell on the ninth princess.

The Ninth Princess is wearing a phoenix crown, but her expression cannot be seen clearly under her red hijab, so she must be very beautiful.

She holds a fan in her left hand and an apple in her right hand, which means peace and security!

"My lord, it's almost time!"

Father-in-law Quan reminds me.

Ning Chen nodded and sent the ninth princess to the carriage.

Because we have to travel to the city next, it will take a long time. If we take a sedan chair, it will be very uncomfortable.

The team set off in great force and began touring the city.

It was near dusk before returning to Ning Mansion.

At this time, the princess had already transferred to the eight-carriage sedan chair.

"Get off the sedan!"

Following the voice of the old nun in the palace, the sedan landed on the ground.

Ning Chen also got off his horse and took the bow and arrow handed to him by the person next to him.

He bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot three red arrows at the sedan chair.

This is to drive away any evil spirits that the bride may have contracted along the way.

Ning Chen actually hates these red tapes, but he can't help it.

He was thinking, not everyone is good at bow and arrow. If someone is not good at bow and arrow, will he shoot the bride in the sedan?

Ning Chen stepped forward and asked the princess to get out of the sedan chair.

Then, with the support of the old nuns in the palace, he stepped over the brazier at the door.

Then, Ning Chen carried the Ninth Princess into the door.

Next, it’s time to worship heaven and earth.

Ning Chen is alone and his parents have long since passed away.

As an emperor, Emperor Xuan was in the palace.

Ning Chen and Ninth Princess came to the auditorium holding one end of each other's hands.

Holding hands is a piece of red silk with a big red flower in the middle, and the bride and groom each hold one end.

The auditorium door is closed.

Eunuch Quan frowned, "What happened to the Ministry of Etiquette? How can the door of the auditorium be closed tightly?"

It seems that Feng Gaojie doesn't want to do anything anymore?

But at this moment, the door of the auditorium slowly opened.

When everyone looked inside, their expressions suddenly changed. They hurriedly knelt down and shouted in unison: "See your majesty!"

Ning Chen was also full of surprise.

Emperor Xuan came quietly and gave him a surprise!

Although this kind of occasion is heavily guarded, it is crowded and chaotic. For the emperor's safety, the emperor will not show up, whether it is the prince or the princess.

Because one day in advance, Ning Chen and the Ninth Princess had already paid homage to His Majesty!

Of course, after the wedding is over, Ning Chen and the Ninth Princess have to enter the palace tomorrow, first to pay homage to the royal ancestors, then to the emperor, and then they have to go to the harem to kowtow.

No one expected that Emperor Xuan would appear.

Ning Chen looked at Eunuch Quan, who was stunned. It seemed that he didn't know that Emperor Xuan would come.

"Everyone get up!"

Emperor Xuan smiled and raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone stood up.

Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen and Ninth Princess with a face filled with relief.

These two children are finally married!

"Let's get started, don't miss the right moment!"

Ning Chen and Ninth Princess walked in and began to salute.

"I worship the heaven and the earth...the poem is titled "Red Leaves God's Instructions", and I thank God for the good relationship."

"Second worship to Gao Tang... Lan Tian's jade field serves as a matchmaker, and I thank my parents for their upbringing."

Ning Chen and Ninth Princess knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Xuan.

Ning Chen went to see the red tea cup brought by the palace maid, handed it to Emperor Xuan respectfully, opened his mouth, what should he shout for a while?

Emperor Xuan is the emperor, not an ordinary father.

Like other princes-in-law, they still call you Your Majesty or Your Majesty.

To an ordinary family, a son-in-law is half a son-in-law... but to the royal family, everyone under the emperor is a minister.

"Your Majesty, please have tea!"

Emperor Xuan frowned slightly, "What did you call me?"

Ning Chen had a question mark on his forehead, was he called the wrong one?

He wanted to call him daddy, but it was against the rules of etiquette... If he dared to call him daddy, those officials would kill him tomorrow.

Ning Chen looked to Eunuch Quan for help.

Father-in-law Quan gave him a helpless expression.

Emperor Xuan said: "Why, is it difficult to call father?"

Everyone present looked shocked!

Feng Gaojie hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is not in line with etiquette."

He is the Minister of Rites, so he must stand up and correct it. This is his duty.

Emperor Xuan glanced over, frightened Feng Gaojie's face turned pale, his forehead was sweating... He cried out in his heart.

"Everyone knows that a son-in-law who is half a son-in-law, Ning Chen, marries the princess, is my son... If he calls me "Father," how is it not in line with etiquette?"

Feng Gaojie said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this is completely in line with etiquette and law."

Only then did Emperor Xuan look away.

Feng Gaojie quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking that it was a close call. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the position of Minister of Rites would have ended.

In the future, there will be two types of Grand Xuan Consorts, one is Ning Chen. The other is others.

Ning Chen offered tea with both hands and said loudly: "Father, please drink tea!"

"Okay...hahaha..."

The Emperor Xuan was very pleased. He had been waiting for Ning Chen to call him father, but he had been waiting for a long time.

The Ninth Princess followed suit and offered tea, "Father, please drink tea!"

"Okay, okay...hahaha, good child!"

The Emperor Xuan was a little rude, but he didn't care.

After offering tea, it was the last step.

"Husband and wife bow to each other...marriage is made by the sea alliance, thank heaven and earth for their blessing."

Ning Chen and the Ninth Princess bowed to each other.

Two old maids came forward, cut a strand of Ning Chen's and the Ninth Princess' hair respectively, put them together, and put them in a beautiful red lacquer box.

"Send her to the bridal chamber!"

Ning Chen and the Ninth Princess held hands and came to the bridal chamber.

This is Ning Chen's room.

The room was full of joy.

The wedding candles, golden scales, wedding handkerchiefs, scissors, wheat buckets, rulers, fruit plates, tea cups, wedding wine, tokens from both sides, and more than a dozen other things were placed on the table, just like incoming goods.

The next step was to drink the wedding wine.

Originally, Ning Chen should have gone out to accompany the guests at this time.

But he heard the Ninth Princess's stomach rumbling all the time, probably because she was starving.

This day, the Ninth Princess didn't eat, let alone drink a drop of water.

If you want to go to the toilet during the wedding, it's very rude.

So, from last night until now, the Ninth Princess can't eat or drink water.

Ning Chen took the wedding pole next to him. Generally, the scale pole is used, but the royal family uses the jade ruyi.

Ning Chen was about to lift the red veil.

"Your Majesty, no!"

The old nanny next to him hurriedly stopped him.

The old nanny wanted to follow in and watch the bride and groom finish all the ceremonies.

Ning Chen frowned, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, the princess is of noble status. You have to go out on her behalf and pay respect to the elders and guests before you can lift the red veil."

Ning Chen was a little impatient. There were so many rules broken.

He lifted the jade ruyi in his hand, and the red veil on the ninth princess's head flew out.

It was too late for the old nanny to stop it!

Ning Chen didn't care about her reaction. He stared at the ninth princess, his mouth twitching, and he was numb.

The usually energetic, charming and lovely ninth princess was made up like a ghost.

How much rouge and powder was applied on her face? How did those two red cheeks become so round? And the lips that looked like they had just sucked blood... Are they going to shoot a horror movie?

He knew that this was a custom. When getting married, red was the main color for celebration... but there was really no need to make people look like this.

Is this still entering the bridal chamber? She was already scared soft, so what's the point of entering the bridal chamber?
