Chapter 359 The Big Wedding
At this moment, all five ministers took a deep breath. They wanted the chief examiner of this special examination to give lectures to these candidates?
Although the examination questions for this special examination were presided over by the Ministry of Rites, they should have been set by Han Zhang and Fu Bi. After all, the emperor was still young, so they had to do it on his behalf.

But at this time Han Zhang and Fu Bi had already been dismissed from office, and the task of setting questions naturally fell on the five ministers.

Minister Wang swallowed his saliva and said in a dry voice:

"Your Highness Prince Yan wants us to explain the topic of this year's Enke to them?"

"Hahaha!" Lin Hao laughed and said:

"Why do you say that, Lord Wang? As far as I know, the exam questions haven't come out yet. How can you explain the questions?"

"I just think that the five adults are very knowledgeable, so I would like to ask you to predict the questions that these students may have to take this year. What if you get them right?"

I don't believe you, you~! Several ministers kept criticizing Lin Hao in their hearts.

What kind of thing is it to let these examiners who set the questions give lectures to the candidates who are about to take the exam in the private school of Prince Yan?
What kind of lesson should I give them? What are the six questions in this exam?
Isn't this still cheating?
But if you want to say that they cheated, it seems not, because the test questions have not come out yet.

Seeing that they were still hesitant, Lin Hao said impatiently:
"If you think this is inappropriate, just pretend that I never said it!"

Several ministers suddenly felt a chill on their necks. Thinking of what happened in the court today, they dared not hesitate any longer and said immediately:

"Your Highness Prince Yan has misunderstood. We are of course willing to give them some pointers. We were just thinking about what to teach them!"

Several Shangshu also figured it out. At most, they could set the exam content based on the articles they are good at, and the questions would be set based on the answers!

Well, I can only say, it’s really fucking excellent!

Lin Hao nodded with satisfaction and said:
"In that case, I'll trouble you all to take care of me for the next month or so!"

"Don't dare~, don't dare~!" Several ministers said hurriedly: "These are all within the duties of this humble official!"

Lin Hao came to the dormitory with a smile, and said, "Everyone be quiet, I will introduce to you..."

On the other side, the eunuch accompanied Sheng Hong back to the Sheng family, and then gave the dowry, phoenix hairpin and gold hairpin given by the Queen Mother and the Concubine Dowager to Minglan.

When Minglan received the dowry that Lin Hao had asked for for her, she was stunned!
Minglan didn't expect that the surprise Lin Hao mentioned last night was actually this. She felt extremely happy in her heart and couldn't help but smile on her face!

Of course Minglan was extremely surprised, while Rulan was a little surprised and jealous. That was the dowry bestowed by the Queen Mother and the Concubine Dowager. For a woman waiting to be married, it would be so glorious!
However, Rulan was just jealous, thinking that she didn't have more contact with Brother Haolin at the beginning, so she didn't have any bad intentions.
Molan was jealous and extremely angry. She wondered why Minglan, a concubine's daughter, could marry Prince Yan and become his princess. So she went back to complain to her mother Lin Qinshuang!
Minglan picked up the phoenix hairpin and the golden hairpin, and came to Fushou Hall with a rosy face. Before she even entered the door, she couldn't wait to shout:

"Grandma, look, this is the dowry given by the Empress Dowager and the Concubine Dowager!"

"Phoenix hairpin!" Old Madam Sheng said in surprise.

Old Lady Sheng looked at the excited Ming girl with a lot of emotion in her heart. She did not expect Ming girl to be so lucky that she could marry the Prince of Yan as a princess as a concubine, and now she has the empress dowager's phoenix hairpin as a pretense.

Then he touched Minglan's head and said:
"Ming girl, you are going to be a princess soon, so you need to be dignified and steady on weekdays!"

"Your sister-in-law came from the Duke of England's Mansion. During this period of time, you should ask your sister-in-law for advice so that you can gain a foothold in the Duke of England's Mansion!"

"I know! Grandma!" Minglan said with a sweet smile.

At this time, Old Madam Sheng took out a box from her trunk, placed it in front of Minglan and said:

"You are about to marry into the Zhang family. This is the dowry that your grandmother has prepared for you. No matter which family a girl marries into, she will have the confidence to speak with a dowry!"

"Yeah!" Minglan said as she tilted her head and lay on the table, thinking about Lin Hao like a girl.

Old Madam Sheng beside her patted the box and said:

"These are all prepared for you!"

"Houses, shops, stores, lands..."

At the same time, the Duke of Qi came to Prince Pu's mansion and discussed with Zhao Zongquan for a long time.

Afterwards, Zhao Zongquan once again recruited his direct descendants from Yuzhou.

Yes, only the direct descendants of Yuzhou were invited to discuss the matter, and no military honors who came from the capital were invited, including Gu Tingye, who was unable to participate in the gathering.

······
A month has passed.

At this time, the Duke of Ying's Mansion was decorated with lights and all the important people in the entire Bianjing City came. After all, Lin Hao was the King of Yan and had an army of 100,000 elite soldiers at his command. He was extremely powerful!
It is conceivable that he is getting married today, and no matter whether he has received a wedding invitation or not, no one will fail to give him face.

Moreover, a month ago, he had invited all the civil and military officials to the court, so today all the officials of the capital came early to congratulate him.

Even the Duke of Qi came in person with his entire family, but the old man just showed up, exchanged a few words with Lin Hao and left. However, Qi Heng stayed after all.

Lin Hao did not make things difficult for him. He just exchanged pleasantries with the officials, both big and small, who came to congratulate him.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Hao led the wedding procession out. With music and dance all the way, they soon arrived at the gate of the Sheng family.

At this time, the entrance of the Sheng family was already crowded with people. Changbai, Changfeng, Hualan's husband Yuan Jia and others were blocking the entrance.

These people were originally blocking the gate, naturally wanting to make things difficult for Lin Hao, the groom.

However, when Lin Hao walked to the gate of Sheng Mansion, he rushed directly inside. However, he was stopped by Yuan Wenshao at the gate of Sheng Mansion.

"Wait, Your Majesty, don't barge in!" Then Yuan Wenshao said to Lin Hao:
"Today is a happy day. Although the King of Yan and I are comrades in arms, today I am Hualan's husband and the son-in-law of the Sheng family."

"So I won't make it difficult for you, Your Highness. On this auspicious day, as long as you write a poem to urge the bride to get ready, we will let you go in to pick up the bride. How do you think?"

"Yes~!" The onlookers cheered in unison.

"Write a poem?" Lin Hao touched his cleanly shaved chin: "And it's a poem I wrote right now to urge you to get ready~!"

Chang Feng also followed suit and said:
"Yes, the prince is a first-class scholar with outstanding talent and learning. I think it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

The imperial examination doesn't test poetry, how can Lin Hao know this stuff? Isn't this just to embarrass me, Fat Tiger?
But it doesn’t matter, he may not be good at writing poems, but he is good at copying poems!
So Lin Hao looked around, and then really thought about it. He remembered that Minglan had already changed her habit of drinking cold wine, so naturally he couldn't use the poem in the original drama to urge her to get ready.

But this did not pose a problem for Lin Hao, because he thought of an excellent poem to urge the preparations, and then he waved his hand and read out:
"Every ten steps, the music resounds through the blue sky."

"The night is long and the makeup is too heavy to bear."

"I am ashamed to let others test my eyes."

"Leave it to Zhang Lang for later description."

As soon as Lin Hao's poem came out, everyone was stunned. They all congratulated him, "Great! Your Majesty is so talented. He wrote a poem in three breaths. It fits the scene and the mood..."

But when Lin Hao saw that the crowd had no intention of moving aside, he took advantage of the fact that the crowd hadn't reacted yet, used the red envelope to clear a way, and rushed all the way inside...!
At this time, in Minglan's boudoir in Mu Cangzhai, Minglan was wearing a wedding dress, looking extremely stunning, and was covering her pretty face with a fan.

But this covering is actually very interesting, it is more like half-covering, which makes the bride look more shy and attractive!

Afterwards, Lin Hao brought the bride Minglan to the main hall, while Sheng Hong and Madam Wang sat on the main seats, and the next step was the tea serving ceremony.

"Father-in-law, please have some new tea from Xiaoxu."

Lin Hao offered the tea with both hands. Sheng Hong took the new tea from Lin Hao and drank a sip. Then he began to instruct:

"In the future, we must respect and love each other, grow old together, have many children, and lead the young with your words!" "Xiao Xu got it!"

"My daughter knows!"

Then Lin Hao came to Madam Wang again, offered her a cup of tea and said:

"Mother-in-law, please have some new tea from Xiaoxu."

After drinking the tea Lin Haojing prepared, Madam Wang told Minglan:

"From now on, you must be kind, cautious, consult with your husband, and spend your life together!"

"My daughter knows!"

"Please rest assured, mother-in-law!"

Lin Hao and Minglan were about to leave, but at this moment the old lady suddenly stood up, grabbed Minglan's hand, and cried:

"Ming girl, be okay, you must be okay!" The old lady was really kind to Minglan.

Today, she was both happy and reluctant to see her most beloved granddaughter getting married.

When Minglan saw how reluctant her grandmother was to leave, her eyes also became red. The Sheng family had treated her the best, and the one she was most reluctant to leave was her grandmother.

Lin Hao saw everything and was also infected by the old lady's feelings for Minglan.

After thinking about it, Lin Hao assured the old lady:

"Please rest assured, grandma. Your son-in-law will treat Minglan as a treasure and take good care of her. He will never let her suffer any injustice!"

"Okay, I know, you are a good child! Go!" He looked at Minglan reluctantly again, then turned away.

After leaving Sheng Mansion, Minglan got on a sedan chair carried by eight people, while Lin Hao rode on a tall horse. Then the wedding procession, with music and drums playing all the way, paraded along the streets back to the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion!

Then they came to the lobby of Zhang's house, and the bride and groom began the wedding ceremony, first paying homage to heaven and earth, then paying homage to their parents and serving tea.

Then they were escorted to the bridal chamber for the final bowing of husband and wife, while the maids scattered dates, peanuts, longans and lotus seeds on the bed, muttering congratulatory words such as "good luck and good fortune, may you have a son soon"!
Then came the tying of the knot and drinking of the wedding wine. After these procedures were completed, Lin Hao was immediately dragged out by his old subordinates and forced to drink.

And the bride stays in the bridal chamber waiting~!

Afterwards, Lin Hao toasted the guests, going from table to table, not only the civil and military officials in the court, but also his subordinates in the army, and this group of people tried their best to get Lin Hao drunk.

So, an hour later, Lin Hao was drunk unconscious by the military meritorious generals and all the civil and military officials in the court.

Finally, with the help of the maid, she arrived at the bridal chamber.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the bored Minglan's heart suddenly tightened, and then with the help of Danju, she put on the phoenix crown again.

She picked up the fan to cover herself. Thinking of what was about to happen, Minglan's little face turned red with shame.

Although the two of them had done that in their dreams, it was more like a dream, and now she was already in the bridal chamber!

At this moment Minglan's heart was in her throat.

Just as Minglan was lost in her thoughts, Xiaotao's voice rang out:
"Girl, my uncle seems to be drunk!"

Hearing this, Minglan quickly looked up.

Lin Hao, who was already drunk and unconscious, was being helped into the house by two maids, while Xiao Tao and Dan Ju were also helping.

Seeing this, Minglan hurriedly ordered: "Help the prince to the bed!"

It took a lot of effort for the four maids and Minglan to help Lin Hao onto the bed.

"Phew, I'm so tired!"

Minglan took a deep breath and whispered:
"How come this guy is so heavy! And he drank so much, he's already passed out, how could he~how could he do that!"

Minglan didn't notice that when she was complaining about Lin Hao, the unconscious Lin Hao's mouth twitched slightly.

I was laughing so hard that I was going crazy!Lin Hao had space at least, and of course he didn't have to worry about getting drunk, but there were too many guests today.

With so many people toasting him, if he keeps drinking, they will never get married!

Besides, if he drank them one by one, he might not be able to finish them before dawn, so Lin Hao could only pretend to be drunk and get away.

Originally, after entering the bridal chamber, Lin Hao had no intention of continuing to pretend. He planned to wake up after Xiaotao, Danju and the others left.

But at this time he heard Minglan's complaints, and Lin Hao couldn't help but almost laughed madly, so Lin Hao decided to continue pretending to be drunk.

He wanted to see how Minglan would treat him, her husband who was already drunk and unconscious.

At this time, Minglan said to the two maids, "There is nothing for you to do now, so go down!"

"Yes, madam!" The two maids responded and left.

After the maid left, Minglan thought for a moment and said, "Xiaotao, Danju!"

"Yes, girls!" they replied.

"Danju, go prepare some hangover soup for the master, Xiaotao, go get a basin of hot water!"

While Minglan was speaking, Lin Hao took advantage of Minglan's back to him, raised his head and signaled to the two maids to leave quickly!

Seeing this, Xiaotao and Danju immediately realized that the son-in-law was pretending to be drunk, but they did not dare to expose the couple's boudoir fun, so they said in unison:
"Yes~" Xiaotao and Danju agreed, and left the room one after another while holding back their laughter.

At this time, only Minglan and the "unconscious" Lin Hao were left in the huge bridal chamber.

Minglan looked at the unconscious drunk Lin Hao, and her originally nervous mood relaxed a lot. She walked to the bed and gently helped Lin Hao take off his shoes, socks and outer clothes.

Seeing that his young wife was really sensible, Lin Hao was very satisfied with Minglan's performance, but Lin Hao wanted to add some fun to the boudoir.

So Lin Hao suddenly hummed: "Water~"

"What?"

Minglan didn't seem to hear clearly what Lin Hao was humming. Lin Hao hummed again, "Water~, thirsty~!"

Minglan didn't hear clearly, so she put her ear close to Lin Hao. Only then did Minglan hear clearly that Lin Hao wanted to drink water, so she quickly poured Lin Hao a glass of warm water.

But Lin Hao was lying on the bed, and for a moment he didn’t know how to give him the drink.

Thinking of the many times in his dreams when they had drunk wine mouth to mouth, he plucked up his courage, held the warm water in his mouth, then slowly passed the water to Lin Hao's lips.

It’s just that Lin Hao was a little dishonest, always asking for too much. When Minglan fed him mouth-to-mouth for the third time, she realized something was wrong!
Minglan felt something strange in her mouth and her beautiful big eyes suddenly widened!
