Chapter 339 Holding a Wedding
Lu Ji and Qin Xiaoning's wedding was finally held as scheduled.
The wedding was unprecedentedly grand and was held at the Ningguo Mansion. On the wedding day, almost all the dignitaries in the capital came to visit. Luxury cars and luxury vehicles were lining the streets, blocking the alleys so much that no one could get through.
After the newlyweds pay homage to heaven and earth, they must offer tea to their parents-in-law.
When the Duke first heard that his son was going to make his concubine his legal wife, he found it hard to accept it at first. However, he was a clear-headed man, and after a few days of digesting the news, he was able to calm down.
At the wedding, seeing his son's unprecedented joy and happiness, the old man completely accepted the marriage.
The Duke's wife is still angry with Lu Ji.
The newlyweds first offered tea to the Duke, who took the tea with a smile and said a few words of blessing to his daughter-in-law and the new bride, and the couple smiled and accepted their wishes.
"Mother, please have tea."
Then, Lu Ji offered tea to his mother, the Duchess. The Duchess was sitting at the head of the table. Looking at her son, who was wearing a bright red wedding gown and smiling from ear to ear, she looked happier than ever before. She glared at him fiercely and then simply turned her head away.
They actually bypassed their father and decided on their own marriage. Any mother would be angry at such a disobedient son.
Lu Ji was in a good mood today because of the good news. Seeing that his mother refused to accept his tea, he actually smiled and joked: "Mother, you are unwilling to accept the tea, which shows that you are not thirsty at the moment. Then I will serve tea to you when you are thirsty. From now on, I will serve you every day and never make you angry again."
This is the first time that Lu Ji has tried to please me in such a smooth way.
The Duke's wife couldn't help but turn her head to look at her son. Seeing his grinning face, she snorted at him, "God, I have such a great reputation, but I still expect you to be filial to me every day. I don't even dare to think about such a thing."
Li Lanchun, who was standing by, was afraid that the mother and son, who had similar personalities, would quarrel again, so she winked at Qin Xiaoning.
The Duke's wife is still angry.
To be honest, Qin Xiaoning was also scared.
After all, it was for her that Lu Ji did such a rebellious thing. In the final analysis, she was the culprit.
In the future, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
Oh! Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
Things have come to this point, there is no way to avoid it even if you want to, Qin Xiaoning had no choice but to bite the bullet.
"Mother--"
She called out to the Duke's wife tenderly, and then steadily placed the tea in front of her: "Please have some tea."
I thought the Duke's wife still wouldn't accept it.
After all, she didn't even accept the tea her own son offered her just now, so she was still angry and naturally wouldn't treat her well.
Unexpectedly, just when Qin Xiaoning was prepared to endure this humiliation, the Duke's wife actually took the teacup from her without even thinking about it. Qin Xiaoning was stunned and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at the Duke's wife who was sitting at the top.
After receiving the tea, the Duke's wife took a sip carefully, then looked at Qin Xiaoning and said, "Good child."
The tone was gentle and full of love.
Qin Xiaoning was left a little at a loss.
Seeing this, the Duke stroked his beard and laughed twice, then said to his son and his new wife, "Hurry up, we are all family from now on, so these empty formalities are just a formality."
With the Duke's words of mediation, the situation immediately eased. Li Lanchun, who was standing by, came over with a smile and helped Qin Xiaoning up, and Lu Ji also stood up.
The Duke's wife turned around and rolled her eyes at her unfilial son again, but Lu Ji's eyes were always glued to his daughter-in-law, and he almost didn't notice the roll of eyes from his mother. The steward came in and reported that the first batch of guests had arrived, and asked the newlyweds to go out and toast.
Lu Ji agreed and looked at Qin Xiaoning beside him.
The little woman wore the blue phoenix crown he designed himself and a gorgeous red dress. She was as beautiful as a fairy. No, she was even more beautiful than a fairy.
This is the woman he loves, and marrying her and spending his life with her has always been Lu Ji's long-cherished wish.
Now, he has finally realized his wish.
The man was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
His whole body and face were filled with joy.
In front of the elders, Qin Xiaoning blushed when Lu Ji looked at her. She raised her eyes and winked at her, reminding her in a low voice: "It's time to go out and entertain the guests."
Lu Ji finally regained his composure. He lowered his eyes and looked at her. His heart and eyes were filled with her. He raised his hand and stroked her hair crown. His tone was so gentle that honey could drip out of it: "It's really beautiful."
After saying that, he laughed twice.
His silly look made Li Lanchun standing by couldn't help laughing out loud. All the matchmakers serving in the room couldn't help laughing at the Regent's silly look, but due to the rules, they didn't dare to laugh as wildly as Li Lanchun, and they almost hurt themselves.
Seeing her son like this, the Duke's wife couldn't help but curl her lips and cursed: "You are useless, you fool."
The newlyweds toasted, and the bride was just going through the motions. She walked around the banquet hall with the groom, and was then helped by the matchmaker into the bridal chamber.
According to Lu Ji's instructions, the couple's bridal chamber was set up in Qingsong Garden. It was just renovated a bit compared to before, and a lot of new appliances were added. All of it was done by Li Lanchun. Although the wedding was done in a hurry, there was no ambiguity in the layout of the new room.
It is magnificent, joyous, and full of peace and tranquility.
Qin Xiaoning sat on the wedding bed, glancing at this house that carried so many memories of her and Lu Ji, feeling mixed emotions.
She still remembers when she was seven years old, she was led into Qingsong Garden by Lu Ji and saw such a gorgeous house. The feeling of surprise and helplessness is still fresh in Qin Xiaoning's memory.
At that time, in the eyes of young Qin Xiaoning, this place looked like heaven.
Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, this little orphan would become his wife and be able to live with him in this paradise for a long time.
Marry the man you love, the powerful and capable Lu Ji.
Her lifelong wish has finally come true.
Qin Xiaoning sat quietly on the wedding bed throughout the afternoon, thinking about her past with Lu Ji.
It’s like a dream, the most beautiful dream.
Ever since she met him at the age of seven, her life has changed dramatically. She no longer has to endure hunger or wander around. Lu Ji raised her in luxury and gave her the best protection. Now, he has kept his promise and married her, making her a noble princess.
Lu Ji is so nice.
From now on, she will treat him wholeheartedly and will never be the "ungrateful person" he calls her again.
"The groom is here—"
Qin Xiaoning was just thinking about her own things here. With the call of the matchmaker outside, a familiar sound of footsteps was heard. She sat on the bed, lowered her eyes through the bottom corner of the bright red veil, and saw the firm and powerful footsteps of a man walking towards her steadily.
