“Your Majesty, should there be a next life, this concubine wishes to never have met you, and to never see each other for all eternity.”
Yu Jingchen hated her, yet the last thing she did i...
At the gate of the General's Mansion
Yu Jingchen, dressed in a dragon robe and wedding attire, rode in on horseback, followed by a phoenix sedan chair carried by sixteen people, which stopped at the entrance.
Nan Su carried Nan Zhiyun out, and the ground was already covered with a red carpet. Not only that, but there were also flowers everywhere. The flowers paved the way, and the air was filled with fragrance. He would make sure that her future was bright and prosperous, with every step dazzling and every place blooming with flowers.
Nan Su put Nan Zhiyun down, and Yu Jingchen looked at the girl beside him, his heart overflowing with joy. She had finally become his wife today.
The Empress Dowager came out, looked over there, and stopped in place. The figures in front of her became more and more blurry, and in the back... she could no longer see them clearly.
She heard the matchmaker shouting, "The bride is getting into the sedan chair! The empress is getting into the sedan chair!" Instantly, gongs and drums resounded, and cheers erupted.
The Empress Dowager was relieved and got into the sedan chair... It was just a pity that she couldn't see it with her own eyes.
"His Majesty has decreed—! Today is the Emperor and Empress's wedding day, and His Majesty has granted a general amnesty! All restaurants in the city will host banquets for three days! All people, regardless of status, are welcome to attend!" Xing Lai shouted, and instantly, all the people knelt down and shouted, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Congratulations to His Majesty and His Majesty the Empress on their wedding day!" The sound was deafening and endless.
Nan Zhiyun was personally helped into the sedan chair by Yu Jingchen, clutching the Ruyi scepter in her hand. She hadn't expected Yu Jingchen to give such an order, and she felt both happy and nervous.
"Yun'er, don't be afraid. Today, you just need to stay by my side, and I'll take care of the rest," Yu Jingchen reassured gently.
"Hmm..." Nan Zhiyun nodded slightly.
After calming Nan Zhiyun down, Yu Jingchen returned to Nan Su and bowed slightly, which Nan Su did not avoid.
"Father-in-law..." This is what Yu Jingchen called out.
"Since Your Majesty has called me your father-in-law, then today I will dare to speak a few words to Your Majesty as an elder. Yun'er is the apple of my eye. I remember everything Your Majesty has done for Yun'er in the past. To be honest, it is impossible for me not to feel sorry for her, and it is impossible for me not to feel any resentment or anger towards Your Majesty."
"Back then, I was a subject, and Your Majesty was the monarch I was to serve, so I never spoke of it, nor dared to express it. But now... I am Yun'er's father, the father-in-law you personally acknowledged, so I will tell Your Majesty clearly that Yun'er has suffered too much. Not only Your Majesty, but I also owe her a debt. So I hope that in the future, Your Majesty can treat her well... If one day you really don't like her anymore, don't let her suffer. Give her a small courtyard and let her live the life she likes..." Nan Su looked at Nan Zhiyun inside the sedan chair, his eyes filled with reluctance.
"Father-in-law, rest assured, I swear in the name of the emperor that in this lifetime, I will only have Yun'er and will never let her suffer any more grievances." Yu Jingchen knew that he owed Nan Zhiyun and the Nan family a great deal, so he would spend his whole life making up for it.
"I hope Your Majesty will keep your word. Let's go... don't miss the auspicious time," Nan Su said, standing with his hands behind his back.
Yu Jingchen bowed once more, performing a junior's greeting before mounting his horse again.
"Raise the sedan chair—!" The wedding attendant had barely finished speaking when the sound of the suona horn began to play.
After picking up Nan Zhiyun, Yu Jingchen headed back towards the palace. Since they didn't want to backtrack, they circled around the capital.
