Knowing that Zhou Gu had returned home after lunch, the Duke's wife only asked the kitchen to deliver soup.
She not only felt sorry for Zhou Gu, but also felt sorry for Su Rong, so she also had her share.
Su Rongdu pushed it to Zhou Gu and smiled sweetly at the Duke's wife, "Mom, I sleep very well now. I am not lacking or tired every day. I don't need to drink, just give it to Zhou Gu."
The Duke's wife smiled and said: "You two drink. He can't drink that much alone. I think you look very good today, but you should make up for it. A wedding is a tiring thing."
Su Rong couldn't resist, so she could only drink with Zhou Gu. After drinking, she said seriously: "Mom, Dr. Zhang said that it is not suitable to take a lot of supplements. I am fine now. Let Zhou Gu drink it and give it to him." Drink for a few more days.”
The Duke's wife smiled, "Okay, we still have to listen to Dr. Zhang. Then let's drink it Zhou Gu!"
Zhou Gu: "..."
He spent more time with Su Rong than the Duke's wife spent with Su Rong. Although Su Rong's face didn't show it at all, he understood that Su Rong was tired of drinking soup. He was amused and turned his head. Su Rong didn't expose her with one glance.
The two spent half a day in the Duke's Mansion. Since they had to try on wedding clothes and so on, time was tight. Therefore, Zhou Gu did not stay in the Zhou Mansion. Instead, he and Su Rong went back together after dinner. to the palace.
On the way, Su Rong teased Zhou Gu, "The etiquette department has prepared all the matters. It's just a wedding dress. It will be the same tomorrow."
Zhou Gu hugged her and bit the corner of her lip, "If I live in the house today, I will have to sleep separately from you. We haven't got married for a day, so in front of my grandmother, I will definitely feel that I am unruly. Simply, she can't see it, and she can't I didn’t know we were going to live together in the palace.”
After all, the Phoenix Palace and the Phoenix Palace are next to each other, and these two palaces are controlled by Aunt Zhao and Yue Wan, so that no wind can escape, and no one outside can know how they live there.
Su Ronxiao, "That's why I didn't expose you. Originally, if we followed Daliang's rules, it would be inappropriate for us to meet before our wedding. But Nanchu doesn't have this rule."
"I didn't expose you either." Zhou Gu asked with a smile: "How much mother's soup did you drink? You looked like you were avoiding her."
Su Rong immediately sat up straight, "Is it so obvious?"
"It's not obvious. Apart from my mother-in-law, I'm probably the only one who noticed it. My mother definitely didn't notice it." Zhou Guxiao, "Otherwise, my mother is smart and knows you don't like it, so she definitely won't let you drink it."
Su Rong smiled and told the story about how she, Xiu Mu, went to Zhou Mansion to stay for a while and was caught drinking soup for several days.
After listening, Zhou Gu nodded her forehead and said, "I said so."
He hugged Su Rong without letting go, "In the future, if it is not necessary, I will be with you every day and never separate."
"Well, when the government is really stable, I will work with you to let Ye Guixue, Cui Xingzhi, and Zhang Yun supervise the country together." Su Rong grabbed his hand and played with it, "Those who are in charge cannot close their eyes and listen. From now on, we will also go out often to monitor the public sentiment."
Zhou Gu laughed and said, "This is good."
Neither of them wanted to be trapped in the palace for the rest of their lives.
Back at the palace, the Ministry of Etiquette had already sent someone to deliver the wedding clothes to the palace. Su Rong's had been tried on several times and modified, and now only Zhou Gu's was left. Compared with before, he had slimmed down a lot. After trying it on, , the people from the etiquette department immediately took the wedding dress back and asked the embroiderer from the Royal Clothing Bureau to change the size overnight.
Su Rong felt distressed, "Hey, I've lost so much weight that it hurts my hands to touch."
Zhou Gu pinched her face and said, "Don't think I can't tell. You've also lost weight. Let's make up for it together."
Su Rong: "..."
In Ye Xiang's Mansion, Ye Guixue arrived in Beijing one day later than Zhou Gu. Mrs. Ye Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him, "I'm finally back. My wife returned to the capital last night, why didn't you come back with me?" Instead, we were one day behind.”
Ye Guixue said: "The horse he rides is too fast, he rides day and night, and my son doesn't need to be in a hurry."
Mrs. Ye Xiang thought about it, "Isn't this trip very hard?"
"It's not bad." Ye Guixue shook her head, "It's not too hard."
He really didn't feel it was too hard, because when he assisted Zhou Gu and went with him, many things were taken care of by Zhou Gu, and things went very smoothly, unlike before, when he wanted to seize the tiger talisman of one hundred thousand soldiers. It was hard work at that time and no one helped me. It took a lot of planning and effort.
Mrs. Ye Xiang didn't believe it. With such heavy snow, how could it not be hard? The whole person was tired and thin, so the kitchen cooked a large table of delicious dishes and stewed soup for him to replenish himself.
Three days passed by in a blink of an eye, and it was the wedding day of Su Rong and Zhou Gu.
Su Xingze traveled thousands of miles to come to watch the ceremony.
Su Rong frowned when she heard the news.
After getting up early to dress up, Su Rong and Zhou Gu made sacrifices to heaven and earth and worshiped their ancestors.
Originally, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth was part of the emperor's wedding process, and the concubine was not required to do so. However, the King of Southern Chu had long wanted to abdicate, and repeatedly emphasized to the Ministry of Rites that the wedding of the concubine and her husband should be done in accordance with the king's procedures.
Therefore, compared with the process of the Queen, it is much more cumbersome. However, during this period, Su Rong cut off some of the concubine's personal greetings, etc. Instead, he and Zhou Gu went to the Zhou Mansion first to pay homage to the elders and relatives, and then the two of them set off from the Zhou Mansion, sitting on the jade with dragons and phoenixes. The chariot, accompanied by escorts and ritual music, circled the city.
The entire royal capital was decorated with red silk on this day, and the streets were clean and tidy without a trace of dust. People came to the streets to witness the grand wedding of the princess and her husband.
Returning to the palace, it was almost dusk. In the Zhengxuan Hall, hundreds of civil and military officials and their family members were watching the ceremony. The King of Southern Chu, the old Protector of the Kingdom, the eldest princess of Sheng'an, the Duke's wife, Mrs. Su, etc. were sitting at the top, and were praised by the Ministry of Rites. The official and deputy envoys presided over the wedding ceremony together and worshiped heaven and earth three times.
After the ceremony was completed, Su Rong and Zhou Gu entertained the officials together.
When the excitement was approaching, Su Rong and Zhou Gucai returned to the Feng Palace at the urging of Grandma Shiquan. Grandma Zhao and her people quickly set up a banquet, and they ate together and drank Henu wine.
After everyone retreated, Su Rong relaxed and said to Zhou Gu, "I'm so tired. I'm like a puppet. I've been manipulated for a day and my whole body hurts."
Zhou Gu's face was full of joy and he didn't look tired at all. He leaned close to her and whispered, "We will go to bed later and I will massage you to loosen your muscles and bones."
Now he is not afraid of being unable to restrain himself. There is no need to restrain himself anymore.
Su Rong looked at him jealously, "Why aren't you tired?"
Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows, "Because I'm happy."
Su Rong looked at him, "Am I not happy? I am happy too."
But happy is happy, tired is really tired. Sure enough, Aunt Zhao was right, men and women have different structures.
Zhou Gu hugged her and kissed her, "Are you full?"
Su Rong nodded and said, "Well, I'm full."
Zhou Gu picked her up by the waist and walked to the bed, "Let's go, it's time for me to eat you." (End of Chapter)
