Yan Qing, despite not understanding the process of a grand wedding, not knowing how others conducted their weddings, having never attended anyone else's wedding banquet, he was not foolish. He had never seen nor heard of a grand wedding continuing without a bride.
It was clear that the Empress Dowager was trying to trick him.
He rolled his eyes at the Empress Dowager, "You're really insightful. A grand wedding can still go on without a bride, then can it also proceed without a groom?"
So, even if he didn't attend his own wedding, it wouldn't matter, right?
The Empress Dowager: "..."
She was momentarily speechless, and looking at Yan Qing, she found herself without words.
This little rascal was hard to fool; she had seen it when he was very young. Although he had a smart brain, he insisted on not following the conventional path, truly driving her to despair. Now, even marrying off was proving to be extremely difficult.
She said helplessly, "Then what do you propose we do?"
