The wedding date was set, and Cheng Qianxun allowed Lagashi to enter the palace.
Seeing Lagashi sitting there with a long face after coming in, Cheng Qianxun was really angry and funny.
She said softly: "Don't be like this.
You are almost a groom, why are you so unhappy?
I saw that girl.
She is very beautiful, gentle and smart.
I will definitely take good care of you in the future."
Lagashi just didn't speak, just like a child who was angry.
Looking at Lagasi, although people of this era get married very young, in her eyes, after all, she is really young at this age.
She sighed slightly: "You are already twenty years old.
Look at the people around you.
Who didn't have a wife and children before they were seventeen or eighteen years old?
You didn't have the conditions before, but now you have everything, so you should start a family. ."
She felt that her tone was just like that of her parents and grandma, even the words she said were exactly the same, but she still had to say it, otherwise she would harm Lagasi.
"But I, but I..."
Lagasi was about to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, lowered his head and continued to feel depressed.
Cheng Qianxun smiled and shook his head: "Don't pursue the impossible.
Ideal is one thing, reality is another.
I will leave sooner or later, and it is impossible to find anyone around me.
Whether it is death or I can’t even protect myself.
The only person I worry about here is you, and what I want to do is get married and have children.”
Lagasi raised his head, his big eyes filled with excitement: "The only person I'm worried about is the Queen."
She was stunned, and it seemed she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly made amends: "Aren't they the most worried about the other kings?
After all, they are all kings."
Lagasi's bright eyes suddenly dimmed.
But he still raised his chest and said, "I didn't expect that the queen still has me in her heart.
Well, as long as it's for the queen, I'm willing to die, not to mention getting married."
He stood up suddenly.
Cheng Qianxun looked at him in shock: "What are you doing?"
Lagasi said with great enthusiasm: "Get ready to get married."
After that, he respectfully stepped away.
When he reached the door, he strode away.
Cheng Qianxun smiled bitterly for a long time, what is this?
That's fine, as long as Lagasi agrees to get married.
Ragassi's wedding was about to take place, and the maid walked in: "Queen" This maid was specifically inquiring about the wedding preparations, so she asked: "How is it going?"
"Everything is being prepared.
The bride will go to the temple tonight and sit in front of the temple to wait for God's blessing."
The maid's words suddenly woke up Cheng Qianxun.
Yes, the custom here is that before the bride gets married, she has to sit in front of the temple and wait for the first man who is willing to take her back.
Then she gets a silver coin and gives it to the temple priest for blessing.
Unexpectedly, Qianxun suddenly jumped up, thought for a while and then gave a few instructions.
Cheng Qianxun stood on the large platform in front of the palace and looked down.
The temple is not far from the palace.
You can see it at a glance.
It was now sunset and the torches were lit.

The whole Ekash is still very lively, with an endless stream of merchants coming and going.
The market outside the city is still doing business, and the taverns in the city are doing a prosperous business.
Several soon-to-be-married brides, covered with linen, were brought to the temple by their families.
One by one, they sat on the steps of the temple, waiting for the first man in their lives to appear.
Their mothers or married sisters sent them here and then left.
If they can't wait for a man, they have to sit still, but generally they wait.
It is rare to postpone a wedding to wait for the bride to bloom.
It is even easier now.
There are many merchants coming and going, and they are all willing to spend a silver coin to let these brides get "God's blessing."
The bride of Lagasi arrived.
She was covered with a long linen cloth from the top of her head, but she could be recognized because the spies sent by the palace were not far behind her.
The bride sat on the steps.
The head is still covered with linen, if a man comes.
She would only lift the cloth to see what she looked like.
Soon.
Here comes the man.
Cheng Qianxun's mouth dropped when he saw it.
He was already forty years old, with a fat belly and a big beard.
How could he be worthy of such a pretty and beautiful girl like a flower?
The man came forward, but immediately turned around and walked to another waiting bride, asking the bride to remove the cloth covering her head.
After taking a look, he placed a silver coin on her skirt.
The bride picked up the silver coins, stood up, and followed the man meekly.
Then another man came, younger than the one before, but Cheng Qianxun still shook his head.
He was half a head shorter than Lagasi, and he was not a good match for this little girl.
The man was so frightened that he turned around and left before he could even reach her.
The other brides stopped looking.
The bride turned her head to look, and what scared all the men away was that there were four palace guards standing behind her.
Each one held a spear in his hand, and in order to show the effect, Cheng Qianxun deliberately selected the tallest one.
Look at the muscles on the arms and chests of the four guards.
They are more than others, not less.
Cheng Qianxun smiled proudly.
The bride asked the guard about it.
Although Cheng Qianxun couldn't hear it, he knew he would ask why he was standing behind her.
The guards would naturally answer that they were on guard duty to protect the safety of the temple.
The bride was helpless, she stood up and moved to the other side.
As soon as she sat down, the four guards followed her with spears and stood not far behind her.
He was a tall man, looking at every man who came.
God knows what this woman committed, so there were four guards standing behind her.
Look at the bride who seems to be here to wait for God's blessing and serve another man, but why is there still someone standing behind her?
Forget it, let's take a detour.
Anyway, there are brides every day, so just find someone else.
When the merchants were away from home, of course they had an attitude of not getting into trouble, so they naturally turned their attention to other brides.
Ragassi's bride stood up helplessly, but now she was like a plague.
No matter where she went, other brides avoided her.
The four shadows behind her followed closely, standing wherever she went.

Then he stood guard with a spear in one hand and the bear's waist in the other.
Cheng Qianxun's stomach was almost bursting with laughter when he heard someone behind him reporting that the high priest wanted to see him.
"No."
Cheng Qianxun knew why the high priest came: "Give him ten silver coins and tell him, I dreamed at night that a demon was about to invade the temple, and I could stop it by sending a few guards.
As for the rest, As for the matter, let him rest assured that he will definitely receive the blessing fee of one silver coin, and there is no need to worry about the rest. " Naturally, the high priest came for this matter.
As expected, the high priest left after getting the money.
Still saluting her below, Cheng Qianxun naturally smiled and nodded to him.
It was midnight, and all the brides in front of the temple were taken away by men.
It was said that one of them had suffered from smallpox, and after she recovered, all the brides were pockmarked.
Even though there are people who want Mazi, there is still no one who wants Lagasi's bride, or no one dares to ask for it.
The bride was really pitiful.
She hugged herself tightly with her arms and huddled on the steps.
Her thin clothes were not enough to withstand the cold night in the Gobi desert.
If there weren't the four armed guards behind her, no matter how ugly she looked, there would still be a man who cared about her and took her away.
Anyway, a silver coin is nothing to many big merchants doing business.
Cheng Qianxun, who had been waiting in sheepskin, became a little anxious and waved, and the maid came forward.
She asked: "Have you told Ragassi?"
"I told you," the head maid replied, "I will send someone to tell you as soon as the queen gives the order."
But why haven't you come yet?
The bride will be almost frozen if she goes on.
Cheng Qianxun hurriedly said: "Let's talk again.
Make it as miserable as possible and ask him to dress up immediately and go."
The bride must serve other men if she is to receive God's blessing.
So I gave Lagasi a fake beard and asked him to act as a prostitute to get the bride.
About ten minutes later, the head maid came and said softly: "Lagasi refused to go, saying that even if the Queen orders it, God's will cannot be violated."
Cheng Qianxun was so angry that he cursed softly: "Is he really not planning to get married?"
"That seems to be what he means..." the head maid added another sentence to soften her words: "Maybe he is just loyal to the rules.
Queen, why don't you ask the guards to withdraw?
When the man sees all this, he will probably treat her well."
"Go and invite him again and tell him..."
Cheng Qianxun refused.
After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Don't forget, even if I am a queen, I will one day sit in front of the temple."
This is enough, he should be willing to go to the temple to pick up his bride.
To be honest, it was simply unacceptable for the bride to spend the first night with a man she didn't know at all.
If she had to let Lagasi completely own his woman, maybe he could treat the bride better.
After all, they both have a long time ahead of each other.
When the maid heard this, she withdrew with a smile.
This time it was the head maid who took action in person.
She watched the head maid wrap herself in linen and go out quietly with her body slightly bowed.
Cheng Qianxun only hoped that Lagasi could understand her painstaking efforts.
Ten minutes later, a figure appeared in front of the temple.
It's Ragassi Cheng Qianxun's heart skipped a beat, but he immediately cursed secretly.
He didn't even put on makeup, what was he doing here?
Ragassi stood in front of the bride and watched, while the bride looked at him shivering with cold.
Go, go, hurry up.

Cheng Qianxun was so anxious that he almost cursed.
Why can't the groom take away the bride?
After Lagasi took the bride away, if someone asked tomorrow, she would pretend to be stupid.
If it doesn't work, you will insist that others are wrong; in the end, if it doesn't work, you will add another law.
If you don't want to serve other men in front of the temple, you can just give the temple two silver coins.
Isn't this temple just for collecting money?
And Wang hopes to develop more people.
Because a certain proportion of brides will give birth to other people's children, the quality of the population may be better in an era when incest marriages are prevalent.
Lagashi looked at it for a long time and finally moved.
He walked over step by step, making Cheng Qianxun's heart pick up in his throat.
Ragassi walked up to the bride, took off the sheepskin from his shoulders, and put it on the shoulders of the bride who was shivering from the cold.
Then he turned and left:
