Chapter 65 Chen Jingtan, what are you so nervous about? [30]

Granny Hua handed the exquisite wedding fan to Achu.

Achu half-covered her face with a fan, and as she turned around, the tassels of her phoenix crown swayed gently.

Outside the door stood a famous, handsome, and dignified young man.

If you look closely, the man bears a resemblance to Ah Chu.

He was Shen Zhangming, the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhongyi and the elder brother of Achu, who had just returned from the border half a month ago.

Shen Zhangming only learned about his aunt switching his younger sister after he returned.

In the past two weeks, Shen Zhangming hasn't spent much time with his younger sister, Achu, but he likes her very much.

Today is A-Chu's wedding day, and as her elder brother, he will personally carry her out of the house.

"Little sister, your brother has come to see you off." Shen Zhangming looked at A Chu with a hint of reluctance.

The brother and sister spend too little time together.

After his sister gets married, he will have to return to the border, and they will have even fewer opportunities to meet.

Achu looked at Shen Zhangming and said softly, "Thank you for your trouble, brother."

With the help of a palace maid, Achu climbed onto Shen Zhangming's back.

Shen Zhangming was a military general, tall and broad-shouldered.

He easily carried Achu on his back and walked out with steady steps.

As Shen Zhangming walked out, he talked to Achu on his back.

"Although you, Tan'er, are married to His Highness the Crown Prince, you are still free to come back and complain if you suffer any injustice."

"The Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness's residence will always be your home."

Achu could tell that Shen Zhangming was speaking from the heart, not just being polite.

She smiled and replied, "Okay."

Outside the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence, a long procession of honor stood.

Si Jinye, dressed in wedding attire, stood in front of the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion.

He had been watching the gate of the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion, and his eyes lit up when he saw Achu being carried out by Shen Zhangming.

Si Jinye could no longer see anyone else, only A Chu.

She wore a magnificent and solemn wedding dress for the Crown Princess, and her phoenix crown was dazzling.

But Si Jinye immediately noticed her exposed eyes, clear and moist, her gaze towards him carrying three parts shyness, three parts nervousness, and four parts anxious anticipation for the future.

Si Jinye, whose head was throbbing from the scorching sun, suddenly felt his headache disappear.

He stepped forward to take Achu off Shen Zhangming's back.

His movements were so careful that he himself didn't even realize it, as if he were receiving a rare treasure.

Shen Zhangming looked at Si Jinye: "Your Highness, I entrust my sister to you. I hope you will treat her well!"

Si Jinye glanced at him: "My Crown Princess, of course I will treat her well."

He turned around with Achu in his arms, placed her on the four-horse carriage, and then got on himself.

Si Jinye sat beside A Chu and took her hand, which was hidden under her sleeve.

Achu turned her head to look at him, and their eyes met. She quickly looked away and looked ahead.

"The auspicious time has arrived! — Let's set off!"

The honor guard played even more rousing music, and firecrackers went off. Under Rong's tearful and reluctant gaze, the four-horse carriage began to move.

The tassels on the exquisite canopy swayed, and the golden bells hanging from the four corners rang.

The exquisite and ornate canopy on the four-horse carriage blocked out the bright sunlight, while the breeze blowing from all sides was quite pleasant.

The Crown Prince's wedding procession will circle half of the capital, and the people will all come out to join in the fun.

This is also a time when they can openly and honestly observe important people.

When they saw Achu and Sijinye sitting high in the four-horse carriage, they couldn't help but marvel.

"This Miss Shen is so beautiful! She's like a fairy descended from heaven!"

"Stop calling her Miss Shen! She's the Crown Princess!"

"Oh right! It's the Crown Princess!"

"The Crown Princess is so beautiful! No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to marry her after saving her! If it were me, I would want to marry her too!"

"Get out of here! What nonsense are you spouting? How dare you even dream of becoming the Crown Princess?"

"I was just saying!"

"Wow, I never expected it! His Highness the Crown Prince is so handsome!"

"Yes, everyone says His Highness the Crown Prince is cruel and heartless, but why doesn't anyone say that His Highness is so handsome?"

"His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't seem like a cruel person!"

"He and the Crown Princess look so well-matched sitting together!"

"They all have the appearance of immortals!"

"Yes, yes! The appearance of an immortal!"

However, some people murmured, "What's the use of being good-looking? Everyone says that His Highness the Crown Prince won't live past twenty-four. If the Crown Princess marries him, she's destined to be a widow."

"But His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't look like a sickly person at all!"

"I heard that he was poisoned when he was a hostage, and ordinary people wouldn't be able to tell."

"That Crown Princess is so pitiful!"

"Look at that magnificent procession of red bridal procession, they're dressed in fine clothes and eating sumptuous food, what's there to pity about them?"

The music played by the honor guard was very loud, so the whispers of the people naturally did not reach Achu and Sijinye's ears.

The ceremony for the Crown Prince's wedding was complicated and lengthy. When A Chu finally sat down in front of the dressing mirror and let the palace maids remove her phoenix crown after the ceremony, she felt that it was even more tiring than filming all night.

Feeling ten pounds lighter on his head, Achu closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

The palace maids helped Achu remove her makeup and then bathed and dressed her.

When she finished tidying up and came out, Si Jinye had already returned.

He also seemed to have just taken a shower, as the ends of his hair were still a little damp.

Today is a joyous day, and both Achu and Sijinye are wearing bright red pajamas.

Their eyes met, and Ah Chu's face seemed to blush under the glow of the wedding candles.

She lowered her eyes, avoiding looking at Si Jinye.

"Your Highness."

Si Jinye hummed in agreement: "Come here."

Achu lifted her foot and walked towards him.

The palace servants filed out, and the palace doors were closed.

Achu stopped in front of Si Jinye.

My chin was gently pinched.

Achu lifted her head following the force.

Si Jinye had a faint smile in his eyes: "Shen Jingtan, what are you so nervous about? It's not like it's the first day you've shared a bed with me."

Thinking of the private words Rong had spoken to her last night, and the booklet that Granny Hua had given her, A Chu's watery eyes still held a hint of shyness.

"No...it's different..."

Si Jinye raised an eyebrow: "How is it different?"

Achu didn't want to talk, so she pulled away from Si Jinye's hand and ran to the bed.

Si Jinye saw her pull the blanket over her head, making herself appear invisible.

He found Ah Chu's appearance adorable, and a smile crept onto his lips.

Si Jinye lifted his foot and walked towards the bedside.

"In this hot weather, don't you feel hot covering yourself up?"

Achu stirred under the covers and said in a muffled voice, "I'm not hot."

Si Jinye sat on the bed and reached out to pull the blanket: "Chen Jingtan, come out."

Achu was still pulling the blanket and wouldn't come out, but she was no match for Si Jinye's strength.

The blanket was pulled away, revealing Achu's flushed face.

Her hair was a little messy, and her eyes were very moist.

Si Jinye's gaze fell on her slightly parted lips, which were rosy and full, and clearly very soft.

It must feel great to the touch.

Si Jinye's gaze deepened.

Not only did Achu read the booklet given by Granny Hua, but Si Jinye also read the booklet prepared by Eunuch Shou.

When Si Jinye first looked at that booklet, he was disgusted and scoffed at it.

But when he replaced the other person's appearance with Achu's face...

Si Jinye pursed his thin lips, his Adam's apple bobbing.
