Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 386 Wedding Night

Until this moment, all the wedding ceremonies were completed.

After the ceremony was over, Gu Fengyue immediately dismissed everyone else in the room. Everyone smiled knowingly, shouted auspicious words, and went out. Before leaving, they did not forget to close the door for the two newlyweds.

As soon as those people left, Song Chunlin started yelling at Gu Fengyue to take off his hair crown.

"This thing is really heavy. It doesn't seem to weigh much when you hold it in your hand, but why does it feel so heavy when you wear it on your head?"

Gu Fengyue studied it for a while and finally helped Song Chunlin take off the hair crown on his head. The moment he took it off, Song Chunlin felt that his neck and shoulders felt much more relaxed.

Gu Fengyue rubbed the back of his neck lovingly. The boy lowered his head and offered his snow-white neck to his hands. In this situation, Gu Fengyue had to try very hard to restrain a certain instinct.

Looking at Song Chunlin, who had no feeling under his hand and was even humming with comfort, Gu Fengyue coughed lightly, withdrew his hand and looked away.

"Well, the emperor and empress are both outside. My brother wants both of us to go out and show ourselves."

Song Chunlin asked curiously, "Should I go too? Is this against the rules?"

"Are rules more important than the emperor's power? Besides, don't you want to go out and get some fresh air?"

Song Chunlin thought about it and really wanted to go out, although he might not know the people outside, but after all, at a wedding, even if it was a modern wedding, most of the people who went out to toast would be strangers, it was just a change of era background, and it seemed that he didn't need to toast.

So Song Chunlin decisively took off the most cumbersome coat on his body, ran to the box and found another dress that was also bright red, but of a more casual style. He kept his hair in a bun, picked up a few small gold ornaments and put them on again. After Song Chunlin was dressed up, he turned around and shouted to Gu Fengyue:

"I'm fine, let's go out."

It is common for the groom to come out to toast, but if the newlyweds come out to toast together... the guests present said that they didn’t understand this move. However, the emperor is here, so maybe the emperor wants to see the newlyweds.

So everyone imagined it in their minds and convinced themselves.

The emperor didn't expect Song Chunlin to come out at first, but seeing the other party's usual look, he thought it was not a big deal, and just made fun of the couple.

"You two really are newlyweds. You've only just got married, but you're already inseparable?"

The queen beside him smiled softly, "Your Majesty, you are wrong. Haven't they always been a couple? Otherwise, why would the Grand Marshal specially use his military merits to exchange for a marriage certificate for you?"

The queen's words made the emperor laugh out loud. Seeing that the emperor was laughing so happily, the ministers below also started laughing. The scene was very joyful for a while.

But this joy was secondary. The most important thing was that Song Chunlin was hungry. He had eaten some snacks and a bowl of wontons in the morning, and didn't eat much at noon. He had to hurry out. He had no appetite in the carriage. He was already starving. Now seeing the table full of delicacies, many of which were his favorites, Song Chunlin had silently swallowed his saliva several times.

Gu Fengyue noticed Song Chunlin's actions and immediately realized that he was really hungry, so he hurriedly toasted several important figures. As for the others, forget it, the emperor is here, and even if he doesn't toast, others dare not persuade him, and no one will use this opportunity to force the groom to drink. Therefore, the wedding banquet, which was supposed to be lively, seemed a lot quieter and peaceful because of the presence of several giant Buddhas.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Song Chunlin immediately started to devour the food, while Gu Fengyue carefully served him the food and reminded him to eat slowly from time to time. Their attentiveness and love were so sweet that it made people jealous.

"They must be a newlywed couple. Look how loving they are."

"Of course not. This is the first time I've seen two newlyweds at someone else's wedding banquet."

"You know what, this feels quite novel."

The banquet at the Marquis' Mansion was not hosted by the imperial chef, but by the chefs in the military canteen. The chefs already had good skills, and after Song Chunlin's instruction, they became even better than before. Not only did they improve the taste and appearance of the dishes, they also came up with many innovative dishes. After tasting them, Song Chunlin thought they were quite good, and wondered if he could put the recipes in the canteen.

In addition to a variety of dishes, there were cream cakes sponsored by Xingchengfang. Each table had a ten-inch cake filled with cream and fruit. There were a total of thirty tables in the marquis's mansion. The thirty or so cakes made everyone in Xingchengfang so excited. However, the cakes received unanimous praise from everyone. Some guests could pack up the cakes they were reluctant to eat and bring them back to their children at home.

I don't know if they knew in advance that the emperor was coming, but Gu Fengyun asked Xingchengfang to prepare a few smaller ones. When the emperor and empress left, each of them took one back to the palace. As for how they divided them, that was up to the emperor and empress themselves.

Naturally, the matchmaker from the Gu and Song families was also indispensable. She usually liked to eat this kind of sweet and soft pastry the most. The cake was sweet and not difficult to bite. However, because of her old age, the doctors in the mansion strictly controlled the princess's diet and rarely gave her sweets on weekdays. Now that she got a big cake, Princess Baohua was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

"It's usually very hard to order cakes from Xingchengfang, but I got such a big one this time. I'm going to show it off to my old sisters when I get back."

Su Fuqing smiled and reminded Princess Baohua: "Princess, this cake is not easy to preserve. Although there is a layer of ice at the bottom, it still needs to be eaten as soon as possible, otherwise the cream will melt and it will not look good."

Princess Baohua nodded repeatedly: "Oh, yes, yes, yes, I will go back and share it with my old sisters. Wife Fengyun is very thoughtful. Okay, I will go back now, you don't have to see me off, go back."

After seeing off the three giant Buddhas, Su Fuqing felt his shoulders relax a lot. He had been married to Gu Fengyun for so long, but this was the first time he met so many important figures. At the beginning, he was so nervous that he couldn't even speak clearly. Fortunately, Gu Fengyun was always by his side, and the Queen Mother and Princess Baohua were also kind, which made him slowly relax.

But these were the most powerful people in the Da Jing Dynasty after all, so it was impossible for them to completely relax. Now that they had all left, not only Su Fuqing felt relieved, but the other guests also breathed a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere of the banquet was obviously much more lively than before, with more laughter, and the young people also began to make a fuss, asking Gu Fengyue to toast everyone one by one. Gu Fengyue naturally agreed, but he asked everyone not to tease his wife.

"My new husband is shy, I'll drink his share first as a sign of respect!" After saying that, Gu Fengyue drank three cups in a row. Since he was so sincere, it was not easy for others to bother Song Chunlin, so they just tried to pull out all the strings on Gu Fengyue.

Gu Fengyue was also happy and accepted almost everyone who came to him. If he were not in a high position with great power now, those young people would not dare to make too much noise, and he would probably have gotten himself drunk.

Song Chunlin had just had a hearty meal, and while Gu Fengyue was busy toasting and no one was bothering him, he had the leisure to listen to the gossip around him.

He held the wine glass as a shield, blinking his eyes, and it was obvious that he was doing something bad. Gu Fengyue came back from a walk and saw him like this, and pinched his cheek helplessly.

"What are you doing? Do you want to go back and rest now that you're full?"

Song Chunlin shook his head. He didn't want to go back yet. He wanted to stay for a while to listen to the gossip about the mistress found by the brother of the concubine of that Shangshu. He didn't know where these adulterers' gossips came from, each one was more explosive than the other.

Even after the wedding banquet was over, Song Chunlin still felt a little reluctant to leave. The gossip was really interesting. No wonder those old people liked to sit at the entrance of the village and chat.

The wedding night is about to begin. After taking a shower, Song Chunlin put all the red dates, peanuts, longans, etc. on the bed into the space. When Gu Fengyue came out of the bathroom wiping her hair, Song Chunlin was already lying on the bed, feeling drowsy.

Seeing his beloved lying defenselessly in front of him, and today being their wedding night, Gu Fengyue's eyes deepened. He walked to the bed, leaned over and kissed Song Chunlin on the forehead.

"Spring is coming, spring is coming?"

"Ok?"

"Do you remember what you are going to do later?"

Song Chunlin was stunned by the question. After he came to his senses, he slowly widened his eyes. Seeing that he realized it, Gu Fengyue curled up a smile and pressed down her body again.

(The bridal chamber will definitely not be written, so you can fill in the blanks on your own.)

The next morning, Su Fuqing got up early to make arrangements. Gu Fengyun laughed at him for being too nervous, but his wife gave him a sidelong look.

"You are a grown man, what do you know? Go away, go away. I will go see if the tea and other things are ready."

After being scolded, Gu Fengyun did not dare to refute. He just silently accompanied his wife, touching here and there. The morning passed quickly, and Song Chunlin and Gu Fengyue had just got up.

When Song Chunlin found out that he got up late, he kicked Gu Fengyue immediately.

"It's all your fault. I got up late."

Gu Fengyue smiled like a fool, held Song Chunlin's feet and kissed them. Song Chunlin felt a chill from the kiss, and his feet shook and he kicked again.

The couple made a lot of noise for a long time before they finally got up. When it was time to serve tea, they both felt a little embarrassed.

Su Fuqing joked with them: "It's not even noon yet, it's okay for a newlywed couple to get up late."

Song Chunlin hugged Su Fuqing's arm and acted coquettishly: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"

Su Fuqing, who had been raised as an elder brother since childhood, was easily fooled by Song Chunlin's tricks and was defeated immediately.

"Okay, okay, I won't make fun of you anymore. Let's go and burn some incense for my parents-in-law."

The newlywed couple followed Gu Fengyun to the gate of the ancestral hall of the Marquis' Mansion. On the first day of their marriage, the newlyweds had to burn incense to their ancestors and tell them that a new person had entered the family.

After arriving at the ancestral hall, everyone naturally fell silent. The two newlyweds respectfully burned incense to their ancestors and kowtowed to the old marquis and his wife.

After burning incense, they had nothing else to do the whole day. Of course, this refers to the newlyweds, the old couple Gu Fengyun and Su Fuqing. One has to go to the yamen, and the other has to manage the household and raise the children. They are both busy people. Now the newlyweds seem like a pair of idle people.

Idle Person One looked at Idle Person Two and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Idle Person No. 2 suggested: "Let's go out for a walk? Didn't you say you haven't been to Xingchengfang for a few days? They sent so many cakes over yesterday, why don't we go to the store and sit down?"

Idle Person No. 1 responded immediately: "Great, I want to go eat pizza. Last time they told me that they made a new style of pizza, and I have been wanting to try it for a long time."

Song Chunlin happily pulled Gu Fengyue out of the door, and they went straight to Xingchengfang, where they spent a very satisfying afternoon. When they came back, they did not forget to bring gifts for Su Fuqing and the young master.

It was a rare occasion for Gu Fengyun to return home early. He stood aside and waited for a long time. He found out that the two little guys didn't bring him anything. He kept complaining that he had loved them in vain.

"You two little bastards, why do your sister-in-law and your nephew have small cakes, but I don't!"

Gu Fengyue was a little confused by the question: "Ah, brother, do you want one too?"

Gu Fengyun was so angry that he ignored the two of them at the dinner table. It was the first time that Su Fuqing saw her husband in such a petty manner. She found it so adorable that she couldn't help but smile.

The little prince was dancing with joy towards the bunny-shaped pudding. He couldn't speak yet and could only point at the bunny and keep saying "yeah", meaning that he wanted adults to feed him.

Song Chunlin took over the task with a smile and fed the child mouthful after mouthful. However, the wet nurse beside him looked at Song Chunlin with concern.

When Su Fuqing saw the wet nurse's expression, the smile on his face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

Song Chunlin was unaware of it. After feeding the little prince, he even kissed the child's fair and tender cheek.

"Who is so well-behaved? It's our little master." Song Chunlin got along well with the little master, but someone was blind and couldn't see the situation clearly. He saw the wet nurse picked up the little master directly from in front of Song Chunlin and said in a frightened tone that it was time for the little master to go back and rest.

Su Fuqing's face immediately turned cold, and he ordered the nurse in a cold voice: "Put down the young master, and you can leave."

The wet nurse seemed to have not realized where she was wrong, and was still talking about taking the young master back to the yard. Su Fuqing was so angry that he laughed, but before he could speak again, Gu Fengyun beside him directly ordered someone to take the child over.

"Okay, we, as his parents, know better than you when the prince should rest. It's a little late today, so he will sleep with us tonight."

Seeing that Gu Fengyun had said this, the wet nurse had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

After the nurse left, Gu Fengyun told Su Fuqing: "Dismiss this servant. The mansion does not need a servant who makes decisions for the master."
