"I am the daffodil of Sharon, the lily of the valleys."

Her voice was not loud, but very gentle, like the water in a stream slowly flowing into people's hearts.

Gu Yibei stood directly opposite her, his eyes fixed on her tenderly. He didn't even glance at the booklet until Ji Zhinan finished reading. Instead, he looked at her and spoke slowly.

“As a lily among thorns, so is my love among daughters.”

He had read the oath in the booklet countless times in the past few days, memorizing every word.

Ji Zhinan's lips curled up as he looked up into his eyes, a smile filling them. He spoke slowly, each word falling into his own: "As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my love among men. I delight to sit under its shade, and its fruit is sweet to my taste."

"He brought me into the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love."

“…”

The two of them recited the words from the Song of Songs one after another, and everyone in the audience looked at the front carefully, not daring to blink.

After the two men finished reading, the priest standing between them, wearing glasses and a priest's uniform, looked down at the thick booklet and read seriously.

"Love is patient and kind. Love does not envy or boast; it is not puffed up or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful. It does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends."

"You must swear to God that you will only love the one in front of you in this life, regard him as everything, respect him, tolerate him, cherish him, and love him until death separates you."

Gu Yibei picked up the microphone, his dark eyes still fixed on Ji Zhinan: "I swear, I will love her, respect her, cherish her, and pamper her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Zhinan picked up the microphone and met the man's gaze. "I swear, no matter whether the circumstances are good or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, I will love him, respect him, and cherish him. I will be absolutely loyal to him and will never abandon him or give up on him."

Maureen led the applause, and there was another round of applause.

The priest looked at Gu Yibei, then at Ji Zhinan, "God will bless your love to be happy and perfect forever."

“Pah pah pah pah…”

The applause lasted for a long time.

Marriage is extremely important among the nobility. After the engagement oath, the woman's name will appear in the man's family tree. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be husband and wife for life, a couple that will never be separated from each other.

Gu Yibei gave Ji Zhinan an engagement ceremony, which was considered a promise to Ji Zhinan.

Now all the aristocratic families in Country Y know that his wife will be, and can only be, Ji Zhinan.

After reading the words, they exchanged rings, hugged and kissed.

After the oath, everyone moved to the next venue. A more than ten-meter-long table was placed on the grass, covered with a white tablecloth. The more than ten-layer cake was particularly eye-catching, with cartoon images of Ji Zhinan and Gu Yibei on the top layer.

All the maids of the Gu family were online, and they moved around the banquet carrying cakes and various kinds of wine.

Ji Zhinan changed into a suit and followed Gu Yibei to toast and meet the relatives of the Gu family, including the dukes and marquises who had a good relationship with the Gu family.

In the crowd, Diana and several other noble daughters stood together, looking at Ji Zhinan who was chatting and laughing with the King of Country Y not far away, with flames of jealousy filling their blue eyes.
