Chapter 265 Wedding
Yun Xiangye waited for time to pass slowly. The phoenix crown on her head made her feel heavier and heavier. She kept leaning her head out to look outside.
The sounds outside are getting closer.
Outside the door, Shuang Bai's voice came, "Brother-in-law, there is one last door. If you want to enter, you must swear a poisonous oath and promise that you will never let my sister down in the future. Only then can I let you in."
Gu Yan raised three fingers and swore without saying anything: "Heaven and Earth are my witnesses. I, Gu Yan, will never let my beloved wife Yun Xiangye down. If I do, I will be poor and destitute, powerless and alone until the end of my life."
Zhao Rui took a deep breath and said, "There's no need to swear such a cruel oath, right?"
Gu Yan said: "Because I know that I will never let her down, no matter how cruel the oath is."
Yun Shuangbai then stepped aside and let Gu Yan enter the house.
Yun Xiangye in the room covered her face with a fan, but she was curious. She showed her eyes and looked at Gu Yan who came in wearing a bright red wedding dress. Gu Yan looked handsome in the bright red wedding dress.
Yun Xiangye thought about Gu Yan, whom she married five years ago, who was dying and looked pale.
During these five years, they had love and happiness, the anticipation when Nuonuo was born, the happiness of a family of three after Nuonuo was born, and then when Nuonuo started to speak and came to Chang'an, they almost couldn't be husband and wife.
From divorce to reconciliation, and then to the birth of Shun Shun and Xin Xin, everything about her in these five years was closely related to Gu Yan.
And she couldn't deny that if she hadn't met Gu Yan, her days would probably have been spent repeating the same thing over and over again in the embroidery workshop in Yongxing City.
It was Gu Yan who gave her a lively and warm home again.
Gu Yan stretched out his hand to Yun Xiangye, Yun Xiangye stretched out her hand and placed it on Gu Yan's hand, and Gu Yan and Yun Xiangye clasped their fingers together.
When they arrived at the lobby, Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan bid farewell to their parents' tablets.
Previously, Yun Xiangye felt it was a pity that his parents had never met Gu Yan, but now he thought that his parents should have met Gu Yan. However, when they met Gu Yan, they probably never thought that he would become their son-in-law in the future.
Yun Xiangye followed Gu Yan outside the house and got into the wedding sedan.
The wedding sedan was covered with gauze curtains on three sides, through which one could clearly see the scenery of Chang'an Street, as well as Gu Yan riding a horse in front of him.
The sedan chair passed through the busiest streets of Chang'an City, and many people came to watch the excitement.
"Whose family is getting married? What a grand ceremony!"
"The eldest son of Prince Ning and Princess Sheng Zhao is marrying the Crown Prince's wife, so of course there will be a grand ceremony."
"Didn't I hear that the Prince of Ning had already married, and the Princess was a merchant girl? Why did he marry another Princess? Was that merchant girl divorced?"
"Which daughter are you marrying today?"
"It's the Crown Prince's Consort from before. This is to make up for the wedding ceremony that was not held in a grand manner that year."
The girls on the street all said, "The prince is really infatuated. I heard that he already has three children, but he still holds such a grand wedding ceremony."
"I really envy the Crown Prince's wife for having such a good husband."
"I envy the Crown Prince's wife even more because she is the owner of the Five Colors Embroidery Shop. Every piece of clothing there is extremely beautiful. It is the most beautiful ready-made clothing shop in Chang'an City."
Yun Xiangye was sitting in the sedan chair listening to the envious voices around her. She looked outside and saw a familiar figure among the crowd.
It was Princess Nan'an whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
What is she doing here?
Yun Xiangye saw Princess Nan'an of the Prince of Chu's Mansion dressed in white and seemed to be holding a tablet. There were no other common people around her. Perhaps they all thought it was unlucky for her to be holding a tablet in broad daylight.
Yun Xiangye was also a little afraid that Princess Nan'an would come and cause trouble.
Yun Xiangye called Yin Liu over and whispered something to her.
Yinliu nodded.
Soon, Yin Liu came over and handed Yun Xiangye a love lock. "The tablet that Princess Nan'an is holding is the former prince of Chu. She said that she brought the prince of Chu to see you off. This love lock is a gift from her and the former prince of Chu to you."
Yun Xiangye took a look at it and did not take it, and just let Yin Liu deal with it.
The bridal sedan went around Chang'an City and finally arrived at the princess's mansion at the auspicious time of dusk.
Gu Yan came over and helped Yun Xiangye get out of the sedan chair. The two of them entered from the main gate of the Princess's Mansion and got married in the house under the chanting of the ceremonial officer.
"The couple bows to each other..."
"Send her to the bridal chamber..."
Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan bowed to each other, then stood up and smiled at each other.
The new house was covered with bright red wedding decorations and filled with peanuts and dates.
The matchmaker at the side cut Gu Yan and Yun Xiangye's hair with scissors, tied them into a knot and put them into her purse.
Then they were allowed to drink the wedding wine.
Princess Xiang, who was standing by, brought a bowl of glutinous rice balls and came to feed Yun Xiangye. Yun Xiangye took a bite and Princess Xiang asked with a smile, "Are these glutinous rice balls raw?"
Yun Xiangye was still a little shy like a new bride and didn't utter a single new word for a long time.
The truth was that Yun Xiangye didn't want to have any more children. Nuonuo had a younger sister as she wished, and her grandmother had a son named Gu as she wished. She and Gu Yan also had a son and a daughter, making a perfect couple. She didn't want to get pregnant again.
However, Yun Xiangye still said one word shyly: "Life."
Gu Yan smiled faintly and glanced at Yun Xiangye.
Princess Xiang said with a smile: "Then I wish you a son soon."
Xiao Jingru took Nuonuo's hand and came out and said, "You are pregnant. You are here."
Yun Xiangye also smiled softly and hugged Nuonuo and said, "Well, Nuonuo is my precious son."
Nuonuo was staring at the bowl of glutinous rice dumplings in the hands of Princess Xiang. Xie Zhixuan beside her smiled faintly and said, "This bowl of glutinous rice dumplings is raw. I'll ask the kitchen to cook a bowl of cooked ones for Nuonuo."
"Thank you, grandma." Little Nuonuo's eyes were still staring at the glutinous rice balls in Princess Xiang's hand.
Everyone was amused by Xiao Nuonuo's love of eating.
Yun Xiangye gently touched Xiao Nuonuo's head and smiled too.
At dusk, the wedding banquet began and everyone in the bridal chamber dispersed.
Gu Yan hugged Yun Xiangye tightly in his arms and said, "You look even more beautiful in this wedding dress, especially your figure is even more exquisite..."
Yun Xiangye, who just gave birth to twins, is in much better shape than before.
Yun Xiangye gently pinched Gu Yan's waist and said, "Go and entertain the guests."
Gu Yan gently kissed Yun Xiangye's lips and said, "Come with me to toast."
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "Where is the rule for the bride to toast?"
"There are some in the Princess's Mansion."
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's fingers tightly and took her out to entertain guests from all over.
That night, the fireworks in the Princess's Mansion burned for a whole hour, announcing the happy event in the Mansion to the whole Chang'an City.
Even after the guests had left, the fireworks were still on.
Gu Yan held Nuonuo in his arms, Yun Xiangye covered Nuonuo's ears with her hands, and they looked up at the fireworks in the dark night together.
The observation deck of the Princess's Mansion, on the second floor.
Xiao Jingru was lying on the railing. Gu Ling looked at Xie Zhixuan beside him. Xie Zhixuan also looked at Gu Yan, and they smiled at each other.
Xie Zhixuan said slowly: "We have both sons and daughters, and now we have both grandchildren, so it can be considered complete."
Gu Ling said, "A Xuan, I want to resign from my position in the court. While I am still young, I want to spend more time with you and Jing Ru. I have never had a rest since I entered the court. His Majesty intends to hand over all state affairs to you, and the court should have new forces. I cannot keep holding power in the court and not give young people a chance."
