The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Chapter 160 Watching Acrobatics

After hearing Seya's plan, everyone applauded.

"Then your wedding ceremony must combine both our Central Plains and Mongolian customs. Wouldn't that be very complicated?"

Hearing Qing'er's words, Seya nodded with some worry. "My Abu is a person who really loves these rules and etiquette. He and the old Buddha Emperor hit it off immediately. Several elders have said that no etiquette should be missed."

Yongheng nudged Ertai with a gloating look, "Wouldn't it take several days to finish this? We, the groom, will have to work hard."

Jingyan was a little curious. "It's said that Mongolia is a little different from the Central Plains, what are the customs there?"

Seya herself wasn't entirely clear, so she counted off a few on her fingers: "Lamas chanting, praying for blessings, asking for fame, singing congratulatory speeches, and the most lively event, the bridesmaids blocking the door with ribbons."

When this was mentioned, Seya's eyes lit up: "You three have to be my bridesmaids!"

Anna pointed at herself in surprise and said, "Can a foreigner like me do this?"

"As for bridesmaids, they have to be my good sisters. You are the only good sisters here. If you can't do it, who else can?" Seya is a very casual person.

Ertai continued, "We in the Central Plains have quite a few etiquettes, including the Three Books and Six Rites, and worshipping Heaven and Earth."

When Seya heard this, she clapped her hands and laughed, "I know that. We still have to make trouble in the bridal chamber!"

Ertai's face turned red. When he thought about spending the wedding night with Seya, his heart couldn't calm down.

Nahesaya had no idea what Ertai was thinking about, and was still thinking about how to play.

Jingyan was delighted when she heard about the wedding night disturbance. With the bridesmaid blocking the door, Jingyan knew a lot of small games and how to play them.

"If you ask me, we should hold a Manchu-Mongolian combination ceremony, which will definitely be very different." At that time, she, as the bridesmaid, must play her best role.

Fu Lingan, who had been silent the whole time, nodded: "What we just said about 'seeking a name and asking for one's age' is the same as 'asking for one's name', so there must be many steps that can be simplified."

If there are bridesmaids, then there must be groomsmen. Jing Yan said with a mischievous smile, "When the time comes, I'll have Ertai write ten poems to urge them to get ready."

When he heard that he had to write ten poems, Yongheng waved his hand and said, "No, we will all be Ertai's best men by then, so the responsibility of writing the poems will fall on us."

Seya raised her head and said, "Of course it will fall on you. You can't bully our Ertai."

Jingyan smiled mysteriously and said that she would make a plan to block the door when she got back. It would not be easy to marry Seya.

After having dinner together, at Yongheng's strong request, the few of them separated and started their own dates.

Eight people stood at the intersection. Yongheng said, "Then we have a deal. We will go in four different directions, east, south, west, and north, and meet at the palace gate before dark."

After saying that, Yongheng pulled Qing'er and ran south. There was the most prosperous street in the capital in Nanshi.

Anna and Benjamin have recently fallen in love with the Central Plains culture of watching plays. Although they cannot fully understand the stories yet, they will be fine if they watch them a few more times.

The two hit it off immediately and decided to continue watching the Legend of the White Snake that they hadn't finished watching yesterday.

Seeing the two of them walking east, Ertai asked Fu Lingan, "Where are you going?"

Before Fu Lingan could say anything, Seya introduced herself, "A few days ago, Ertai and I saw a group of new jugglers in the West Market. They knew a lot of tricks, including breaking rocks with their chests and breathing fire. They were much better than the average street performer."

Hearing that it could spit fire, Jing Yan couldn't stand it anymore: "Great, you're telling me this now if there's something so fun."

Seya smiled and said, "We are just waiting for Fu Ling'an to come back, why don't you go now!"

As Jingyan dragged Fu Ling'an westward, Saiya grinned at Ertai, seeking praise: "I'm smart, right? Now we can go to the north of the city for an archery competition without worry. I lost to you last time, but I'm sure I can win this time."

Ertai couldn't help laughing when he saw her cute look: "Yes, yes, you are the smartest."

Fu Ling'an and Jing Yan walked hand in hand towards the West Market. Fu Ling'an rubbed the soft hand in his palm and whispered, "I didn't have the chance to talk to you yesterday. It's been a long time since we last met. I miss you so much."

Jingyan nodded: "Me too, a day without seeing you feels like three years, you can calculate how many years it has been since we last saw each other."

Fu Lingan immediately replied: "Twenty-seven years."

Jing Yan didn't expect that he still remembered it so clearly, and chuckled: "Although I look the same, I have actually become an old woman in your thoughts."

Fu Lingan stared at Jingyan seriously, and said for a long time: "It has changed. It has become more beautiful."

Especially today, Jingyan wore a red jacket embroidered with gold thread and decorated with a hundred blessings, with a white fur collar, which made her look rosy. With her small and delicate face, Fu Lingan couldn't get enough of looking at her.

Jingyan felt a little shy when he heard this person praising himself right away.

"Then I think you've changed too."

"Oh?"

Fu Lingan originally thought that the princess would also praise him, but the princess said, "You are darker, thinner, and not as pretty as before. It's obvious that you don't take good care of yourself."

Upon hearing this, Fu Lingan took Jingyan's hand and placed it on his face: "Princess, you are really wronging me. I will definitely protect my face for you."

Jingyan was amused by Fu Lingan's funny expression: "Oh, I feel sorry for you. You must be very tired and exhausted after going out."

Originally, they would not have rushed back so soon, but Fu Lingan and Yongheng were so eager to return home that they shortened their travel time.

The two of them didn't need to ask around when they arrived at Xishi. This group of street performers was very popular in Xishi, and people on the street were talking about them.

It is very cold now, but it does not affect the enthusiasm of the people on the street at all.

Following the flow of people, they soon found the place where the performance was taking place, but it was already surrounded by people.

Jingyan was completely blocked. Listening to the crowd cheering, Jingyan could only see the flames being blown out above the crowd.

Fu Ling'an originally wanted to lift Jingyan up, but when he looked up and saw the teahouse across the street, he immediately pulled people towards the teahouse.

The private room with a window was already occupied, so Fu Ling'an paid double the price and exchanged a private room with the guest.

Jingyan walked into the house and sighed: "You are really smart. It looks much warmer than outside."

She ran to the window, but the fire-breathing show had not yet ended. She saw the man spraying something, which was not sure whether it was wine or oil, at the torch, and the torch instantly turned into a raging fire.

Everyone applauded.

After the fire-breathing show, there were many difficult juggling skills and some very novel tricks, such as sword swallowing, which made everyone nervous and excited.

Jingyan enjoyed the show while drinking warm tea and eating snacks. She was so happy that she gave two silver bars as a reward and asked the artist to come to the box to perform for her again.

At the end, the man was still promoting the event, saying that it would snow in a few days and that he hoped everyone would come to support him after the snow, as he would perform new tricks for everyone.

This publicity immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Jingyan was curious about what new trick it was: "Let's come when it snows."

Fu Lingan naturally agreed.

As they were walking back, Jingyan was still curious, "I know about fire-breathing, but how does one swallow a sword? The sword can't be retractable, right?" She had just touched it, it was a real sword.

Fu Lingan shook his head: "This really requires swallowing the sword, and it will probably take a long time to practice."

“That’s amazing.”
