Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian each held a handkerchief tied with a love knot at one end, stepped over the brazier and walked towards the main hall.
Jiang Yimian was being supported by someone, and even when she looked down, she could only see her toes. She couldn't even see where she was going, and she was completely unaware of the people around her.
The tension that had just dissipated surged back in, and for a moment she didn't know if it was because she was nervous about the wedding itself, or because the veil was blocking her view.
As she walked down the last step of the corridor, she accidentally stepped on the wedding dress and almost fell forward.
The matchmakers and maids around them immediately gasped in surprise.
Liu'er was also startled and didn't have time to reach out and grab the person.
Jiang Yimian has already settled comfortably into a warm embrace.
Sensing the unusual behavior of the person in his arms, Lu Cijian lowered his voice and said, "Don't be nervous, Mianmian."
Jiang Yimian was taken aback, only to hear the matchmaker beside her breathe a sigh of relief and quickly say, "Oh, it's alright, it's alright. Hurry up, the auspicious time for the wedding ceremony has arrived, let's not delay here."
As he spoke, he separated the two of them and led them straight to the front hall.
Fortunately, nothing else went wrong, and the group arrived safely in the main hall.
The once quiet front hall was now filled with chatter as the newlyweds arrived.
Besides discussing the newlyweds, many people were also curious about Lu Cijian's identity.
After all, on the wedding day, apart from the imperial relatives, almost no one else could get the emperor, empress, and princess to attend.
Some court officials had already heard rumors and, looking at Xie Jingxuan and the Empress in the main seats and Xie Yu in the secondary seats, they had a general idea of what was going on.
There are also some unsuspecting people who are currently discussing this among themselves.
"I've heard that Lord Lu is His Majesty's cousin. Is that true?"
"Who knows? But I think it's true. His Majesty, the Empress, and the Princess all arrived early today."
His Majesty and the Empress were seated in the main seats; the significance of those positions is clear to everyone.
"This Lord Lu is truly remarkable. Despite having His Majesty's identity, he has never revealed it."
Now, having achieved so many great merits, he has firmly established himself in the Censorate and is praised by everyone. Compared to the sons of powerful and wealthy families of the same age, he is far superior.
"Who can disagree? It's a pity they're getting married so soon, especially since the marriage was arranged by His Majesty."
"Hey, what's wrong? You're even regretting it now? Even if Lord Lu isn't married, he'd never take a fancy to your daughter. Don't even think about it."
You don't know this, do you? Someone once specially sent a beautiful woman to Lord Lu.
Lord Lu not only confiscated the gift, but also expelled the person who gave it from the Censorate. You'd better keep your intentions to yourself, or you'll bring trouble upon yourself.”
As expected, upon hearing this, those who had harbored some ulterior motives immediately fell silent, not daring to continue the topic. Instead, they brought up the fact that Princess Ning'an and Lord Lu were a perfect match.
Lin Yan'an listened to the discussions around him, but was not moved at all. He just stared at Lu Cijian and said silently with displeasure, "Lu's wedding dress today really suits him. It makes this black-hearted guy look elegant. If you didn't know, you would think that this guy is like this all the time."
"Pah! When I get married, I'll definitely beat that bastard!"
If it weren't for the fact that today is the wedding day of the man surnamed Lu and Jiang Meimei, he wouldn't have let this guy steal the spotlight.
In order not to overshadow the man surnamed Lu, he deliberately did not wear red.
Zhao Xiaonian, who was standing on tiptoe looking at the newlyweds in the center, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He looked him up and down several times before saying, "You're getting married?"
A marriage requires two people; who would marry you?
Besides, what Cijian-ge saw in Yangchun Baixue wasn't her clothes, but her appearance. You wear red every day, so why don't I see you as Yangchun Baixue?
"To think you can surpass Ci Jian is a pipe dream."
In his heart, Ci Jian was perfect in every way, far superior to the guy in front of him.
Now that Sister Jiang has become Brother Cijian's wife, no one can compare, because Brother Cijian's wife is the best in the world.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an immediately became dissatisfied. "Hey, kid, stop cursing me. I am so handsome and extraordinary, how come no one wants to marry me? There are plenty of women who want to marry me."
Stop talking nonsense, you brat.
As he finished speaking, something occurred to him, and he felt a pang of frustration.
No one knows why Liu'er's Gu worm ended up in his jade sachet. When Liu'er saw it, she almost beat him to death on the spot.
He dared not approach Liu'er now.
Not to mention expressing his feelings; if he dared to express his feelings now, Liu'er would take action on the spot.
They might think he was joking, that he's finished, and that this brat next to him might actually be right—no one will marry him.
The guy surnamed Lu is living a good life now, and he's not happy about it. He's determined to give him a good beating later.
Thinking of this, his frustration lessened a bit, replaced by a surge of fighting spirit and an eager anticipation for the banquet.
Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian walked to the center of the room, and the matchmaker quickly signaled to the master of ceremonies that they could begin.
Immediately, the attendant who had been waiting for a long time shouted, "First bow to Heaven and Earth."
The two newlyweds knelt and bowed as instructed by the master of ceremonies, while Xie Jingxuan, sitting in the main seat, watched with some satisfaction.
He was genuinely happy to see Ci Jian get married.
He had always been worried about Ci Jian, because Ci Jian didn't really care about anyone or anything in this world, as if he were detached from them.
Each time he risked his life to complete a task, he felt no joy afterward. It seemed less like he was doing it for the task and more like he was looking for death.
