Chapter 323 Worship
Prince Nanping frowned, looked at Xiao Jin, then looked at the young man in front of him, and thought to himself, could this be the guy who is trying to steal the bride?
Gu Yunting obviously saw through his thoughts and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, my last name is Gu, you can just call me Yunting." After a pause, he continued, "If Your Majesty is willing to call me son-in-law, that would suit my heart even more."
After he recognized his daughter, the King of Nanping asked her everything from her childhood to her adulthood. I guess the Taoist priest next to him who was so angry that his beard was about to break was Ling Feng Zhenren.
And the young man in front of him must be the fourth disciple of Master Lingfeng, General Yunhui Gu Yunting?
The veins on Xiao Jin's forehead jumped. Gu Yunting's call of "son-in-law" was really intolerable to him.
"Lanlan, wait for me for a moment." He lowered his voice and said hurriedly to Xie Lan. Without waiting for her response, he flashed and kicked towards Gu Yunting with lightning speed.
Gu Yunting didn't expect Xiao Jin to be so disrespectful and dare to beat him in front of King Nanping. He staggered a few steps before steadying himself. He covered his shoulder and grimaced in pain.
Xiao Jin didn't even glance at him, and bowed to the King of Nanping, "Father-in-law, I failed to protect Lanlan and frightened you."
Prince Nanping glanced at him, but before he could speak, Gu Yunting rushed over and said, "Your Highness, since my senior brother can't protect my junior sister, why don't you consider changing your son-in-law? I..."
Gu Yunting was busy applying eye drops and was not paying attention when Ling Feng Zhenren, who was so angry that he jumped up and down, grabbed his ears.
"You little brat, if you dare to talk nonsense again, do you believe that I will sew your mouth shut with needle and thread? Why did you have to snatch your little sister when there are so many other things to snatch? Why don't you apologize to the prince and Xiao Wu?"
Seeing that Gu Yunting was still nonchalant, Ling Feng knew that he had no good words to say. "If you continue to make trouble, come back to Sanqing Mountain with me now. The Taoist temple has not been cleaned for a long time. You can go back and help your master do more work."
After Chu Nanyin killed the ghosts, she rushed over in a hurry, only to find that the one who stole the bride was Gu Yunting. Seeing that he was grabbed by the ear by Ling Feng Zhenren, instead of going forward to stop the fight, she added fuel to the fire and said, "Master, the manure pool of the Taoist temple must have not been cleaned for a long time. Don't forget to ask Xiao Si to clean it out as well."
Xiao Jin looked at Chu Nanyin with admiration, nodded and said, "Master, Third Junior Sister's reminder is reasonable. Xiao Si has indeed not been back to the Taoist temple for a long time, so it's a good opportunity for him to go back and clean up the manure pit, so as not to fumigate the ancestor.
Also, remember to have Xiao Si recite more scriptures in front of the Grand Master to temper his impetuous temper. If outsiders knew that General Yun Hui acted so unruly, how could he establish prestige in the army and convince everyone in the future? "
Chu Nanyin is ruthless, and Xiao Jin is no less ruthless.
Gu Yunting had been naughty since he was a child, and he was punished every now and then. Sometimes Ling Feng Zhenren was so angry that he punished him to clean the entire Taoist temple.
However, among all the punishments, the ones that gave Gu Yunting the most headaches were cleaning the cesspool and chanting scriptures.
Cleaning the manure pit was a physical torture, as it was filled with stench. Reciting scriptures was a mental torture. Every time he recited those obscure scriptures, Gu Yunting had a splitting headache.
He would recite until his mouth cramped during the day, and even in his dreams at night he would subconsciously recite the scriptures that drove him crazy.
Xie Lan sat in the bridal sedan, watching the farce in front of him with a smile on his face, and did not intend to speak to stop it.
Gu Yunting was furious and yelled at Chu Nanyin, "Third Senior Sister, don't forget who you are most close to. How can you turn your elbow outward?"
Chu Nanyin looked at him as if he were a fool, "You are my junior brother, and the eldest prince is my senior brother. No matter where my elbow bends, it's always towards my family."
Seeing that Gu Yunting was about to speak, Xiao Jin lost his patience and winked at Chu Nanyin. Gu Yunting saw it, but before he could speak to stop her, Chu Nanyin gave him a drug and he passed out.
Master Ling Feng heaved a sigh of relief, and casually handed Gu Yunting to his junior fellow student next to him. He stepped forward and said to the King of Nanping with an apologetic look, "Your Highness, I am really sorry for the mischief of my disciple. I hope Your Highness will forgive me for what happened today, and don't bother with this useless boy."
Gu Yunting's act of snatching the bride seemed a joke, but in fact, he had the bridal sedan taken away just to protect Xie Lan from assassins. If he really wanted to ruin Xiao Jin and Xie Lan's marriage, he would not have carried the bridal sedan directly to the eldest prince's mansion.
Xiao Jin also saw this and did not really kill him.
Master Ling Feng raised Xie Lan and was the benefactor of the Prince of Nanping's Mansion. The Prince of Nanping had nothing but gratitude towards him.
"You are serious, Master. Although General Yun Hui has a bit of an agile personality, he has no bad intentions. You raised my daughter, and I am grateful to you. Since you and several Taoist priests have come to Kyoto, please follow me back to your residence, so that I can show my hospitality as a good host."
"Your Highness is too polite. I raised Xie Lan, and it was fate that I had with her master. I came to Beijing this time just to witness the wedding of my two disciples. I will be back at the Taoist temple soon, so I won't bother you at the palace anymore."
After saying that, he looked up at the sky, then turned to Xiao Jin and said, "The auspicious time has arrived, it's time to get married."
The bride's sedan chair had not yet entered the palace, so the King of Nanping could not keep Ling Feng. However, he had made up his mind to help the founder of Sanqing Temple rebuild his golden body to thank Ling Feng for raising Xie Lan.
After watching the excitement, Xie Lan adjusted her veil and lowered the curtain.
Xiao Jin took the bow and arrow handed to him by the guard and shot three arrows at the sedan chair.
In order to prevent Gu Yunting from waking up and continuing to make trouble, Xiao Jin did not let Madam Quanfu help Xie Lan get out of the sedan chair. Instead, he stepped forward himself, carried her out steadily, stepped over the burning brazier, and walked straight into the mansion.
Although the ceremonial officer on the side felt that it was against the rules, he didn't know what to say.
I didn't expect that Miss Xie's identity was so extraordinary. Not only was she the biological daughter of Prince Nanping, but also Dean Yue and General Yunhui of the Royal Academy were her senior brothers.
Even the third senior sister is not an ordinary person. She is the apple of the eye of Dr. Chu, and her medical skills are even better than those of Dr. Gong from the Imperial Hospital.
Although Xie Lan said she was fine, Xiao Jin was worried about her pregnancy and didn't want her to suffer. He omitted all the steps that could be omitted from the wedding ceremony.
Although the ceremonial officer was helpless, he had no choice but to do as Xiao Jin insisted.
In the following ceremony, although simple, it was still solemn. Xiao Jin's eyes were always closely following Xie Lan, for fear that she would feel unwell.
Fortunately, Xie Lan persisted and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sent to the bridal chamber.
Xiao Jin picked up the wedding scale and lifted the veil.
The etiquette nanny led the two to drink the "wedding wine" while saying auspicious words.
When all the ceremonies were over, Matron Gong understood what she meant and immediately led all the maids and servants in the room to quietly leave.
As the door closed gently, only Xiao Jin and Xie Lan were left in the room.
Xiao Jin couldn't wait to stretch out his arms and embrace Xie Lan in his arms. He lowered his head slightly and without hesitation kissed the red lips that he had been thinking about day and night.
Xie Lan did not resist and closed his eyes obediently.
