Chapter 699 Magistrate Xu's Little Assistant 54
Song Jinhuan stayed in the palace for more than two hours before leaving. Looking at the sun outside the palace, he took a deep breath.
Freedom!
Upon seeing this, Xu Qingyuan couldn't help but chuckle.
"You don't like going to the palace?"
Song Jinhuan then realized that she had been too obvious just now.
She touched her nose. "It's alright. I just feel like I've been given a second chance at life after coming out of there!"
Xu Qingyuan's eyes darkened. "Is someone in the palace bullying you?"
He wasn't always by her side; he was summoned to the imperial study by the emperor at one point.
The Empress and Consort Qin had been locked in a power struggle for many years; if both of them were present at the same time, the young girl would be relatively safe.
However, he wasn't there during that time...
Princess Fude is the daughter of Consort Qin. As a doting mother, she might embarrass the Empress in front of everyone.
The Empress is a smiling tiger, and she is usually good at hiding her malice in a seemingly gentle way. It is not impossible that she would subtly provoke Consort Qin and make her lose her temper, causing Consort Qin to do something embarrassing in front of everyone.
In an instant, all the possible scenarios raced through his mind, and his aura involuntarily calmed down.
Song Jinhuan glanced at his increasingly cold expression and quickly explained, "No one bullied me!"
"I was just very nervous throughout the whole process because I was afraid of making mistakes when dealing with so many people at once."
Xu Qingyuan's expression softened slightly, but he still asked with unease, "Really?"
Song Jinhuan nodded vigorously, "Of course! I hope I'll have to go to the palace less often in the future."
It's much more relaxed and comfortable outside.
Xu Qingyuan secretly made a mental note of this.
Shortly after meeting the emperor, an auspicious date was chosen.
On the wedding day, the sound of gongs and drums filled the air.
Red carpets covered most of the capital city, and wedding candies were everywhere, with firecrackers going off incessantly.
Groups of children sang joyful and auspicious songs, their pockets and hands full of wedding candy.
The Emperor bestowed the marriage upon the subject, and the Ministry of Rites made the preparations, adhering to the highest standards for a subject.
In addition, Xu Qingyuan was highly valued by the emperor and was rewarded with many fine things.
Song Jinhuan entered the gate of the top scholar's mansion in a grand and glorious manner.
Such a grand spectacle is still awe-inspiring to people even a decade or two later when they recall it.
As expected of a marriage bestowed by the Emperor, the wedding was certainly extravagant and extravagant, costing who knows how much silver!
Anyway, there's no need to worry about being investigated, since the Emperor is the one who's funding it!
Back when the wedding candles were lit, Song Jinhuan's veil was still on, and she kept taking out pieces of pastry from her sleeve with one hand.
I was starving.
If Xu Qingyuan hadn't stuffed some in earlier, she probably wouldn't even have the strength to sit up straight!
The wedding process was truly difficult, lasting from before dawn until dark.
As Song Jinhuan was lost in thought, a creaking sound suddenly came from outside, and soon a pair of black shoes with gold trim appeared before her.
She recognized those shoes.
It belongs to Xu Qingyuan.
The lace trim on it is a pair with the trim on her shoes.
Her love quilt was made overnight by Granny Shi, who gathered together the embroiderers of Anping County, and then had it delivered to the top scholar's residence by fast horse.
Song Jinhuan was deeply moved.
Grandma Shi and the people of Anping County are all sending her their blessings.
"My...my wife, I'm going to lift the veil!"
The first time I formally addressed someone as "Madam" was a bit of a tongue-twister.
Xu Qingyuan gripped the wedding scales tightly, his eyes reflecting the red veil, his throat tightening.
(Author's note: Good evening, my dear darlings! The next world I'll be writing about is the West! Not the magical West, though!)
