"Your Highness, I have come to marry you."
Nanqianyue's cheeks flushed slightly behind her fan, and she smiled faintly before giving a soft "Mmm".
Qin Yi turned around, revealing his broad back to her.
Nanqianyue slowly climbed up, supporting his shoulder with one hand and holding a round fan in the other.
The crowd, filled with blessings, saw the newlyweds off as they walked out of the mansion.
At the gate of the Prime Minister's residence, Qin Yi put Nan Qianyue down, turned around and bowed to the Prime Minister's wife and Prime Minister Nan in a junior's greeting. "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, rest assured, I will cherish Qianyue as my most precious treasure and will not let her suffer the slightest grievance."
Nan Xiang, his eyes red-rimmed, turned his head away and waved to Qin Yi, "Hurry up, hurry up."
If we don't leave soon, he won't be able to hold on any longer.
When she moved south, she also bowed to the Xiang couple and said goodbye, "Father, Mother, your daughter is leaving."
The Prime Minister and his wife looked up at the sky at the same time, tears welling up in their eyes.
Qin Yi helped Nan Qianyue into the bridal sedan chair, while he himself mounted his chestnut horse.
With the sound of gongs and drums, the wedding procession, so long that it couldn't even fill a single street, made a lively circuit around the capital.
As they scattered auspicious money and fruit along the way, people flocked to share in the joy and offer their blessings.
Firecrackers exploded at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion. The groom helped the bride out of the sedan chair. After a series of complicated rituals, including stepping over a fire basin and a saddle, they finally arrived at the main hall to pay their respects.
Consort You sat on the high platform with tears welling up in her eyes. It was only after she had pleaded with Qin Yi for months that he agreed to let her sit there.
"I bow to Heaven and Earth!"
The newlyweds kowtow in gratitude to heaven and earth for their blessings.
"Bowing to the parents twice!"
After the wedding ceremony, the bride was led to the bridal chamber.
Qin Yi held her hand, took off the fan, and said in a voice so gentle it could melt water, "You must be tired from holding it."
Nanqianyue's eyes drooped, making her look pitiful. "Yeah, I'm exhausted."
Qin Yi's gaze was intense, fixed on her face, unwilling to look away even for a moment.
"Then you should rest well, drink some water, and eat something. After I finish entertaining the guests, we still have important business to attend to."
Nanqianyue's cheeks flushed again. She snatched a fan to cover half her face. "Hurry up, someone is urging you."
Qin Yi squeezed her hand and kissed it hard. "Wait for me."
His hasty actions made the maids and servants around him blush.
However, one of the maids from the prince's mansion appeared very composed and there was not a single fault with her.
