Chapter 175 Wedding
Jiang Shu lowered her eyes and stared at the ground. A pair of cloud boots appeared in the small space under the wedding veil. Then, a large palm stretched out in front of her, and the slender fingers were like jade.
"Shu'er, I'm here to pick you up." Yu Zheng's voice was as gentle as the wind, like pearls falling on a jade plate, with an unconcealable smile.
Jiang Shu grinned and slowly raised her hand to Yu Zheng's palm.
Yu Zheng held it tightly, took her up and went out of the house, and went to the hall to offer tea to Jiang's father and mother.
Jiang's father and mother were wearing festive new clothes, sitting in the hall, looking at Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu hand in hand with satisfaction.
When he walked in front of Jiang's father and mother, Yu Zheng asked Jiang Shu to stand still, and he took the hot tea brought by the maid and offered tea to Jiang's father and mother at the top.
"Please have some tea, father-in-law."
Jiang's father took it with a smile on his face, drank a sip happily, and told Jiang Shu happily and reluctantly.
"The prince is a rare good son-in-law. After you marry into the prince's mansion, you should discuss everything with the prince, work together in harmony, and live a happy life."
"Yes, my daughter will remember it." Jiang Shu replied softly.
Finally, Yu Zheng took the tea brought by the maid and offered it to Jiang's mother.
"Please have some tea, mother-in-law."
Jiang's mother took it with a smile, drank a sip happily, and put it down, and told Jiang Shu in a gentle voice.
"You are deeply loved by the prince, so you should respect the prince. I hope you will grow old together, love each other without doubt, and have many children."
As she spoke, Jiang's mother's eyes turned red and her voice choked.
Jiang Shu was infected, and her almond eyes under the wedding veil were also stained with water mist, and her voice choked slightly.
The feeling of parting spread instantly. Jiang's father and mother tried hard to suppress their reluctance and asked Jiang Ning to send Jiang Shu out quickly and marry her happily.
Jiang Shu was marrying a high-ranking woman. With Yu Zheng's status, he didn't need to offer tea to Jiang's father and mother. But Yu Zheng offered tea, telling the world how much he loved Jiang Shu.
It was also because of this that Jiang's father and mother were completely relieved to hand Jiang Shu over to Yu Zheng, and Jiang Ning also felt that Yu Zheng was reliable.
"The girl is going out!" As the bridesmaid shouted, the sound of music was immediately heard outside the house. When
the people outside the Jiang's house heard the music, they also knew that the bride was about to come out, and they all stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks to look forward to it. Jiang
's father and mother in the hall looked at Jiang Shu's leaving figure, and finally couldn't help shedding tears.
Parents all over the world hope that their daughters will find a good man to marry, but they are reluctant to let their daughters marry.
But it is natural for men and women to get married, and even if they are reluctant, they cannot stop it.
After a brief moment of sadness, Jiang's mother wiped away her tears and greeted the guests with Jiang's father.
Jiang Ning saw Jiang Shu out. When Jiang Shu stepped out of the Jiang family's gate, he opened his mouth and called out anxiously: "Sister."
"Yeah." Jiang Shu replied faintly.
Jiang Ning swallowed the choking in his throat and forced a smile and said: "Sister, you must come back often in the future, and I will visit you often in the palace."
"Okay." Jiang Shu agreed with a smile.
Jiang Ning stopped and watched Yu Zheng holding Jiang Shu's hand and walking towards the sedan chair that had been waiting for a long time.
"The bride is here, look."
The crowd of onlookers were very excited and scrambled to take a look.
But Jiang Shu was covered with a wedding veil, so her face could not be seen at all, and they could only admire her figure in the wedding dress.
Even so, they all scrambled to see the novelty.
Shen Changze, standing in the corner behind the crowd, stared at the red figure, his eyes red and pale, as if his throat was burned by fire.
This was originally his wife, but now she put on her wedding dress and married someone else. And he, like a mouse that cannot stand the light, can only hide in the crowd and peek.
The joyful music in his ears and the bright red joyful colors in his eyes made Shen Changze think of seven years ago.
Back then, he also welcomed Jiang Shu out of the Jiang family, presented the wedding sedan, and rode a tall horse to marry Jiang Shu back to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.
Now the scene is repeated, but the person marrying Jiang Shu is no longer him.
The past scenes surged like magma, and the burning Shen Changze was speechless, and his heart ached like a burning knife.
"Move up the sedan!" A loud shout was heard, and the procession cleared the way, with the sound of joy. Yu Zheng rode his horse and led the sedan behind him, returning to Prince Jing's mansion in a bustling atmosphere.
Shen Changze watched the sedan go away, and when he could no longer see it, he turned around and left sadly.
This time, Yu Zheng had invited all the civil and military officials in the court to his wedding, but Shen Changze was the only one not invited. Therefore, Shen Changze could not go to the palace to watch the ceremony, and could only come to the Jiang residence to take a look.
It was a farewell, and also a goodbye.
If they see each other again in the future, he will have to call Princess Jing and kneel down to pay homage.
No one in the noisy crowd paid attention to Shen Changze, and they talked with relish about the wedding dowry tied with red silk flowers that stretched for several miles.
"My God, so much dowry, it will take several lifetimes to spend it all."
"I also saw it when the Jiang family married their daughter seven years ago, and it seemed that there were not so many dowries at that time."
"That's natural. She married into the Jing'an Marquis Mansion before, and now she marries into the Jingwang Mansion, so it's different."
"First there was the betrothal gift and then the dowry. The betrothal gift sent by Jingwang when he made the betrothal was several times more than that of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion that year. There is no comparison at all."
"That's true..."
Although Shen Changze had left, these words still drifted into his ears with the wind, making him shudder and ashamed to refute.
The warm sun was shining, but Shen Changze felt cold all over. The breeze was gentle, but Shen Changze felt a pain in his chest.
But no one cared about his sorrow and joy, everyone was laughing.
Yu Zheng was very happy today. Wherever he passed, the people were crowded with people who came to watch the excitement. Yu Zheng prepared a lot of wedding candies and red envelopes, which he distributed along the way, and the whole city was happy.
When the wedding procession arrived at Prince Jing's mansion, it was almost the auspicious time.
Yu Zheng got off his horse and led Jiang Shu out of the wedding sedan chair. The bridesmaid handed the towel to them. Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng each led one end and entered the palace with the help of Chu Yu. The
royal wedding ceremony had many rules and regulations. Jiang Shu's mind was confused by the noise in his ears. He only knew to follow Yu Zheng and do what the bridesmaid told him.
The two walked into the wedding hall. The emperor and Concubine Yu sat at the top, and the lower and both sides were sitting or standing, crowded with royal relatives and officials who came to watch the ceremony.
After paying respects to heaven and earth and their parents, following the command of the ceremonial officer "pay respects to parents", the maid brought a red cushion, and Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu knelt down to pay respects to the emperor and Consort Yu Guifei.
Seeing that Yu Zheng was finally married, the emperor and Concubine Yu Gui smiled comfortably. The worries that had been bothering them for many years were finally resolved, and they felt extremely relieved.
After paying respects to their parents, the couple paid respects to each other.
With dark eyes, Yu Zheng stared at Jiang Shu, who was wearing a wedding veil. He was as happy as honey and bowed his head to pay respects.
"The ceremony is over, send her to the bridal chamber!" the ceremonial officer sang loudly.
Yu Zheng led Jiang Shu with a red silk scarf, and with the help of the bridesmaid, they went all the way to the new room in the main courtyard.
Yu Lan, Yu Yuan and others followed into the new room with laughter, watching them drink the wedding wine together, and waiting expectantly for Yu Zheng to lift the wedding veil to see the bride.
Finally, after drinking the wedding wine, Yu Zheng took the wedding veil and gently lifted the wedding veil.
As the wedding veil was lifted, Jiang Shu's face was revealed to everyone.
Her face is like a peach blossom, her skin is like fat jade, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are like stars, her cherry lips are slightly curved under her delicate nose, she has a sweet smile, and she is as bright as the moon in the clouds.
Jiang Shu, set against the phoenix crown, is so beautiful that it makes people stunned. For a moment, the bridal chamber was silent.
Yu Zheng knew that Jiang Shu would be very beautiful today, but he didn't expect her to be so beautiful. He wanted to hide her and not let anyone see her.
Without the veil to cover her, Jiang Shu could finally see Yu Zheng.
She turned her head gently and looked at Yu Zheng beside her.
