Everyone was surprised. After all, as the King of Ning, it was indeed a bit unbecoming and against the rules to block the door.
Su Bi, however, still had a smile on her face as she stepped forward and bowed to King Ning.
Prince Ning's face was serious and he even looked a little unhappy.
Everyone was worried. After all, it was well known that Prince Ning loved his daughter. Looking at this situation, no one knew how Prince Ning would make things difficult for the Crown Prince who married his precious daughter.
"The fact that you are here today is due to the fate of you and Xihua, and it is also the result of the two of you working together. As a father, I don't ask for anything else, I just want my daughter to go well. Please don't forget, Your Highness. Original intention.”
In the end, he wanted to kneel down and pay his respects to Su Bi.
Su Bi hurriedly stopped Prince Ning and bowed deeply again.
"I am more happy for the princess than for myself. Please rest assured that Runxi will live up to your expectations."
When Su Bi mentioned this word at this time, she was making a promise to King Ning.
The onlookers also sighed and lamented Princess Yuexi's good fortune.
Prince Ning, who was in a high position and had always stood tall, actually bent his back and only asked his son-in-law to treat his daughter well.
However, the usually reserved prince directly confessed in public that he loved his wife more than himself.
What kind of wonderful person must Princess Yuexi be to be loved and cared for by these two people and treated like a treasure?
Prince Ning personally helped Su Bi up, patted him gently on the shoulder, and made way.
"Go ahead, she's waiting for you."
Su Bi nodded and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Under the repeated urging of the bridesmaids and the onslaught of red envelopes, the bridesmaid and Song Yi helped Ning Xihua out slowly.
She was wearing a dark blue dress with long sleeves and a brooch. Even the complicated layers of clothing could not hide her graceful figure. She had her hair combed into two long buns, and wore a flower hairpin on her head with two exquisite golden phoenix-tail hairpins on each side. Her hair was decorated with nine emerald emeralds.
This wedding dress is exquisitely made, not only with fine materials, but also with densely embroidered bird patterns, which makes it look even more noble. The girl wearing this wedding dress is even more stunning, and even if she covers her face with a round fan, you can still see her stunning appearance.
Ning Yueyan had been waiting on the side. Before Ning Xihua stepped down the stairs, he had already bent down and knelt in front of her. With the support of Song Yi, Ning Xihua fell on Ning Yueyan's back.
"Fifth sister, now you are stable, I will take you to the sedan chair."
Ning Xihua nodded.
When passing by Prince Ning on his way out of the hospital, Ning Xihua pressed Ning Yueyan's shoulder hard, and Ning Yueyan understood and stopped.
Ning Xihua saw the old man silently guarding her from the corner of her eye, and her eyes were filled with sadness. Although she knew it was just a wedding ceremony, she still felt reluctant to leave.
The bride could not fall to the ground. Ning Xihua held the round fan tightly in both hands and could only lean on Ning Yueyan's shoulder and bow her head to bid farewell to King Ning.
Su Bi also followed and bowed to Prince Ning again.
Prince Ning nodded and waved to them to hurry up.
Ning Yueyan steadied himself and walked towards the gate again.
Prince Ning looked at his daughter's leaving back with red eyes.
Xihua will marry and from now on there will be another person to take his place, to accompany her and protect her. He felt both relieved and disappointed.
In front of Prince Ning's mansion, Ning Yueyan calmly and steadily escorted Ning Xihua into the sedan chair.
Before leaving, Ning Yueyan only said one thing, "Fifth sister, remember, no matter what, you will always be the daughter of our Ning family, so don't be afraid."
Ning Yuehang also echoed, "Fifth sister, don't worry, we are always here!"
Ning Xihua nodded vigorously, her eyes, which had been wet since she said goodbye to the old man, were now welling up with tears.
The curtain was lowered and the host announced that the carriage was ready to be lifted.
Ning Yuehang and Ning Yueyan followed the carriage outside to see off Ning Xihua.
Halfway through the wedding procession, it suddenly slowed down.
Ning Xihua didn't know what was going on in the sedan chair, and Ning Yueyan beside the sedan chair reminded her, "Fifth sister, you should come out and take a look."
Su Bi in front also signaled to stop the car and whispered outside, "Come out and take a look."
Ning Xihua was puzzled, as she had never heard of the custom of stopping during the wedding procession.
She simply asked Song Yi to open the curtain and she bent down and got out of the sedan chair.
The round fan was still not put down, but Ning Xihua was already stunned by the light.
There were crowds of people on both sides of the road, all of them bowing to the wedding procession.
Seeing Ning Xihua emerge from the sedan, these people became even more excited and looked up and shouted to her.
"Xu Ru from Yizhou thanks the princess for saving his life. I wish the princess a long and blessed life, and that she and the crown prince will grow old together!"
"Chen from Yizhou comes to thank the princess for saving his life. I wish the princess good health and happiness, and a happy and harmonious relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Qian Fengxu of Yizhou thanks the princess for saving his life. I wish the princess peace and happiness, and a long and happy life with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
…
One after another, hundreds of people introduced themselves one by one, and their voices finally overlapped and sounded like a thunderous roar.
They knelt down and kowtowed, thanking Ning Xihua for protecting them in Yizhou. They thanked her for not abandoning Yizhou when they were desperate, for discovering the life-saving sword grass, and for asking the emperor for the grace of tax exemption for three years.
What Ning Xihua didn't know was that many people in Yizhou had set up a longevity tablet for her, hoping that she would be free from illness and live happily forever without worries.
"What is this?"
Ning Xihua was still shocked and hadn't recovered.
"The Spring Examination is coming soon. Most of the people here are students from Yizhou who are going to Beijing to take the examination. Some are Yizhou people who heard about your wedding and rushed to the capital to see you off."
Ning Yueyan's words cleared up her confusion.
The crown prince married a concubine, and Prince Ning married his daughter. The people in the capital came to join in the fun and celebrate. They had never seen such a scene before, and there was a lot of discussion. Some people even knelt down and cheered out of the herd mentality.
Ning Xihua was also shocked by this scene.
The plague in Yizhou was originally caused by Prince Ning's Mansion. All she did was to save herself.
Even if she later asked Emperor Shao Yuan for a tax exemption, it was just a convenient thing to do and she did not expect many people to thank her.
To be honest, she doesn't even have the Ning family's great sense of mission to protect the people. Everything she does is to consider herself first and then do what she wants.
She also did not feel that she had made much contribution to Yizhou. Those who truly protected Yizhou were the doctors who worked day and night, the people who voluntarily helped, and even Su Bi who later led troops into the city.
But the people of Yizhou all remembered her and gave her their most sincere blessings at this special time.
Ning Xihua was so moved and grateful that she could not express it in words. She could only straighten her clothes, lean over and perform a profound and highest salute to the people of Yizhou who were looking at her.
When the people of Yizhou saw her perform the salute, they cheered and kowtowed in return.
Ning Xihua covered her eyes, which were becoming moist again, with a round fan and turned around to get into the carriage.
What she didn't see was that Su Bi in front of her dismounted from his horse and also bowed to the crowd.
A gift from the prince is worth more than a thousand gold.
This is the highest courtesy and gratitude from the superiors that ordinary people with no achievements can get.
This gift is to thank them for building up momentum for Ning Xihua and also to thank them for their blessings to both of us.
As for whether it is in accordance with the rules or whether it is lowering one's status, it is no longer that important.
Su Bi looked at the sedan chair and smiled gently.
Because of her, everything is worth it.
