Chapter 2569 - 2568: The Wedding
"That’s right!"
Ling Feng nodded, then continued, "When we first developed this place, we spent a lot of time and effort!"
Seeing Xiangxue glance at him, Ling Feng smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll arrange things well here too. However, since your people aren’t familiar with modern technology and lack experience using it, let’s build the houses first. Once the accommodations are ready, we can discuss other things slowly!"
"Okay!"
Xiangxue nodded and continued, "Building houses is not a problem; we can manage that ourselves."
"Is that so? That’s naturally the best. By the way, is there a lot of ice crystal here?" Ling Feng asked.
"There is plenty, more than enough!" Xiangxue nodded.
"In that case, let’s settle here," Ling Feng felt relieved and started dispatching people to be sent over.
Lighting can’t be provided by the spaceship all the time, and Xiangxue also has her own lighting plans, so everyone got busy quickly.
Just like that, a day passed.
With nearly a hundred thousand people, everyone was kept busy. Xiangxue had to restore these people’s minds and inform them that they had been rescued, which took a lot of effort as well.
Once everything was dealt with, and these people began settling themselves, only then did Ling Feng and Li Chunxi leave.
It wasn’t that they were in a hurry to go back but Xiangxue thought their help wasn’t needed here for the time being and that it was unnecessary for them to stay, so she let them go.
After all, the wedding day was near, and the two of them had to go back and prepare.
They agreed to return after the wedding, so Ling Feng took Li Chunxi and left Antarctica, quickly returning to the Capital City.
Afterward, a series of preparations began.
Ling Feng’s clothes needed to be made, and he also had to learn the etiquette. There were indeed many things to handle.
Given the royal matters, they certainly couldn’t be handled casually, so Ling Feng was giving it his all.
By the day of the wedding, not only was the entire Imperial City bustling, but even the citizens of the Capital City were filled with joy, as if celebrating the New Year.
The Li family’s status in the hearts of the people was evident.
Ling Feng changed into the classic red groom’s outfit, feeling novel as he looked at himself.
Following the rules, he hadn’t seen Li Chunxi since the day before. Now, the people around him were all servants from the palace, naturally treating him with great respect as he was the Consort Prince.
Ling Feng was still mentally reviewing the procedure since the wedding process was too complicated, and he feared forgetting something.
Soon, the grand wedding began, and Ling Feng, surrounded by people, headed to the Taihe Hall of the Imperial Palace!
The middle processes were skipped over. In short, it was a busy yet happy day until the evening when all the procedures were finally completed.
And Ling Feng finally got the chance to see Li Chunxi.
Although he had seen her during the bowing ceremony, Li Chunxi was veiled, and he was unsure how she appeared with makeup now.
So Ling Feng felt a bit anxious, his steps hurried.
The servants also noticed the Consort Prince’s eagerness, covering their mouths to chuckle quietly but not daring to say anything.
When they reached Li Chunxi’s sleeping quarters, everyone stopped, and Ling Feng opened the door himself.
The maidservants in the room quickly retreated, leaving only Ling Feng and Li Chunxi sitting at the bedside.
She was still in a veiled state, sitting motionless and waiting for Ling Feng to come forward and lift that red veil.
These rules had to be followed because the Li Dynasty was relatively traditional, preserving the early ceremonies in full.
Ling Feng inexplicably felt a wave of nervousness, picking up the wooden stick on the table, finding his breathing becoming a bit rapid.
He slowly lifted the veil and saw Li Chunxi, who had her head slightly lowered.
The girl indeed had a faint makeup on her face, but it wasn’t overdone and suited Ling Feng’s aesthetic.
Seeing two rosy blushes on her cheeks, Ling Feng couldn’t determine whether it was makeup or shyness. Since she didn’t dare to look him in the eyes, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, are you nervous?"
"..."
Li Chunxi didn’t speak, her eyelashes lowering even more.
Seeing her like this, Ling Feng chuckled and sat down beside her, then asked, "It’s just us two; perhaps we can skip the toasting ceremony?"
When learning etiquette earlier, there were also some procedures to follow after entering the bridal chamber. Although Ling Feng remembered them, he felt it unnecessary.
Of course, omitting them required Li Chunxi’s consent, as he couldn’t disregard her wishes if she wanted to follow the procedures.
In response to this question, Li Chunxi nodded slightly, "Yes, it’s too troublesome!"
"Isn’t it?"
Ling Feng laughed and then said, "Today was exhausting; I think we should just rest early!"
"Hmm..."
Li Chunxi was both shy and happy, knowing well that it wasn’t even dark yet, and this guy obviously had impatient intentions, yet she still agreed.
In truth, she also wanted to rest early, after all.
However, with the room still brightly lit, she shyly reminded Ling Feng, "Wait, pull the curtains by the bed a bit!"
"Okay!"
To accommodate her feelings, Ling Feng nodded.
Li Chunxi got up, took off her wedding dress, and in her intimate wear, went to bed, covering herself with the blanket.
Ling Feng drew the curtains, creating a private space on the bed where the light dimmed significantly.
Seeing Li Chunxi, her body seemingly trembling under the blanket, veil-covered, Ling Feng chuckled and slipped under the covers!
...
...
A spring night is worth a thousand gold; that night was absolutely memorable for both Ling Feng and Li Chunxi, difficult to forget for a lifetime.
The next morning, as dawn broke, Li Chunxi gently pulled away from Ling Feng’s embrace, "It’s getting late; we should get up and dress!"
Ling Feng knew he had tasks to do after the wedding, as he had to pay respects to Li Huang in the morning.
So both got up, and as they had just put on another set of simpler festive clothes, they heard a servant’s voice outside, "Princess, Consort Prince, time to get up."
"We’re already up, come in!"
After Li Chunxi called out, a servant came in carrying a washbasin.
After washing up, the couple, surrounded by servants, proceeded together to where Li Huang was.
At this time, the morning assembly had just ended, but the ministers hadn’t left, all standing on either side.
Seeing this scene, both Ling Feng and Li Chunxi felt a bit dazed, as it wasn’t according to protocol.
After they greeted Li Huang, the old man, beaming with happiness, had the couple seated and then announced to all in the hall, "With the new Consort Prince here, this decision can now be revealed!"
With everyone’s curious gazes upon him, Li Huang solemnly said, "I now appoint Ling Feng as the Marshal of Li Dynasty’s Military and confer upon him the title of King of Citizens!"
