Chapter 44 Then Drink More Hot Water
The sun's rays shone brightly, illuminating his handsome features and deep eyes, which made him captivating. His appearance was so outstanding that passersby stopped to stare.
The most eye-catching thing is the golden Wangong sedan chair - it was made with the painstaking efforts of tens of thousands of craftsmen and can be called a moving palace.
The sedan chair is made entirely of red sandalwood, carved with nine layers of cloud patterns, and its overlapping eaves are adorned with gold-thread necklaces.
On the four vermilion lacquered screens, hundreds of children are playing among the beautiful buildings, and every detail is carefully carved by the craftsmen with a hair-thin carving knife.
As they got closer to the general's mansion, Jiang Hanyu's hands holding the reins began to sweat.
For the first time in his life, he felt nervous.
He never got nervous when he faced hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefield.
Su Lin, who had been waiting at the main gate with Su Zhan and Su Zhe, saw Jiang Hanyu, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress, dismounting from the horse. He immediately clasped his fists and bowed deeply, speaking loudly.
"This old minister respectfully welcomes Your Highness."
Jiang Hanyu raised his hand to support him.
"General Su, there's no need to be so polite."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two were led by the housekeeper into the main hall.
When the auspicious time comes, the bridesmaid sings loudly.
"Please ask the princess to leave the house!"
Madam Quanfu supported Su Yuyan as they walked out gracefully, her embroidered shoes stepping on the brocade carpet, her skirt flowing like clouds.
When we reached the central hall, Jiang Hanyu was already standing there waiting quietly.
When he saw her, the one he had been thinking about day and night, walking towards him gracefully in her fiery wedding dress, his eyes trembled and he could not take his eyes off her.
The bright red wedding dress embroidered with nine phoenixes in gold thread is radiant and colorful, showing off her graceful figure.
The waist is slender and thin, not even a handful of flesh can be filled, but the curves are graceful and natural.
The hem of her skirt flutters, and the golden phoenix tail feathers dance with her steps, brushing the ground with her red makeup, like clouds and rainbows.
As Su Yuyan got closer, Jiang Hanyu felt that everything around him was eclipsed.
When she stepped into the central hall, Jiang Hanyu quickly gathered his thoughts and personally performed the ceremony of laying the geese.
Following the bridesmaid's shout, Su Yuyan bid farewell to her parents.
Although she couldn't see because of the red veil, she could hear.
She heard Mrs. Du crying.
Yes, her own daughter had been living away from home since she was a child, and now she was married off just half a year after she was brought back. How reluctant must Mrs. Du be to let go of her daughter who had only been with her for half a year!
Listening to Mrs. Du's suppressed sobs, Su Yuyan, who felt the love of her father and mother for the first time in her two lives, couldn't help but tear up with tears in her eyes.
After paying respects to her parents, she slowly stood up and her hot tears fell to the ground.
Then, Su Lin stepped forward and personally handed his daughter's jade wrist to Jiang Hanyu.
"My daughter is a naughty child. I hope Your Highness will have mercy on her."
Jiang Hanyu nodded solemnly and answered in a gentle voice.
"Don't worry, father-in-law. I will treasure it."
After the ceremony, the bridesmaid shouted.
"Lift—a sedan—!"
When Su Zhan carefully carried her on his back, Su Yuyan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Lying on Su Zhan's broad back, Su Yuyan could clearly feel his abnormal breathing frequency.
He... is crying.
So, she leaned over and found a topic to talk about in his ear.
"Brother, from what I know about my mother, she will cry for days after I get married. After I return home, you will return to the border, and we will be separated for another three years. The only one left at home is Shi Lezhi, Su Laoer."
"Su Lao Er's lack of understanding not only fails to bring emotional value to his mother, but also makes his mother, who is already heartbroken because her children are not around, even more distressed."
"Why don't you find someone you like and get married quickly. Once you get married, your mother will have something to do and she'll be in a better mood."
Su Zhan cried so hard that he could hardly see the road. He nodded to everything his sister said.
"Okay, big brother will get married tomorrow, don't worry."
"The royal family has many rules. Now that you have entered the gate of Prince Rui's Palace, you must not act as you please as if you were at home."
"In the future, it's inevitable that the palace will have three wives and four concubines. Even if you've been wronged, you must not disregard the rules and run to your parents' home, lest you anger His Royal Highness Prince Rui. If you're sad in the future, you can write to my brother."
Hearing the general, who was over eight feet tall, crying, Su Yuyan reached out and wiped the tears from his cheeks.
"Brother, I will be fine, and our Su family will be fine too. You don't have to worry about your family when you go to guard the border."
At the same time, Su Zhe, who was following behind, saw the warm interaction between his elder brother and sister. He felt so sour as if he had swallowed a whole grape forest and said while wiping his tears.
"Yuyan, now that you've entered Prince Rui's mansion, you won't be able to do as you please when we meet again. I'm also very sad. Can't you say a few words of comfort to me?"
Su Yuyan started talking nonsense as soon as she opened her mouth.
"I know you're sad, but don't be sad yet."
"If you really can't control your sadness, then drink more hot water."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhe's tears welled up even more.
I don’t know if it’s sour or angry.
Su Zhan carried Su Yuyan on his back and walked out of the general's mansion.
Then he saw that the attendants from Prince Rui's palace were already waiting with a glittering sedan chair.
When everyone in the general's mansion saw this extremely luxurious sedan chair, they were stunned.
You know, Wangong Jiao is the nickname for the top wedding sedan chair in all dynasties!
In the sunlight, the bead curtains sway and the tassels shine.
After Su Yuyan got off Su Zhan's back, Jiang Hanyu personally helped Su Yuyan get into the sedan chair.
Three cannon salutes shook the sky, and the grand procession set off.
Su Lin stood at the gate of the mansion, watching the carriage go farther and farther away, until the sound of drums and music faded at the end of the long street.
A breeze blew by, and tears flashed across the corners of his red eyes.
After standing there for a long time, Su Lin turned around reluctantly and murmured.
"May my daughter live a peaceful and happy life."
The streets are already packed with people when the prince comes to pick up his bride, and now he is using a sedan chair to pick her up, which results in the entire route being crowded with people on both sides.
Even many girls from aristocratic families were trying their best to squeeze in at the front to catch a glimpse of the luxury of the Wangong sedan chair.
When they saw the handsome Jiang Hanyu on the tall horse and the golden Wangong sedan chair, their eyes were red with envy!
Today, red silk is hung on the eaves of Prince Rui's Palace, fluttering in the wind, as if a happy event is coming.
A red carpet was spread on the floor, extending from the door into the hall, shaped like a red dragon. The mansion was bright and full of joy.
According to the rules, the door of Prince Rui's Mansion should be closed at this time, implying that this action is used to calm the bride's temper.
But now the main gate of Prince Rui's Mansion is wide open, which shows that Jiang Hanyu has really put in a lot of effort. He doesn't want Su Yuyan to suffer any grievance, and he also wants to tell the world how much he values Princess Rui.
The sun sets in the west, and the afterglow is colorful.
Su Yuyan walked gracefully on the red carpet and slowly emerged from the phoenix carriage.
Wearing a gorgeous robe, she seems to embrace the starry sky, and the setting sun shines on it, creating ripples in the light.
Jiang Hanyu, wearing a crimson wedding gown, stood solemnly, holding a piece of brocade with a dragon and phoenix pattern in gold thread, and handed it to Su Yuyan.
The two of them each held a piece of brocade and slowly walked into the hall.
The onlookers were moved.
"I have lived for over sixty years, and this is the first time I have seen such a grand wedding."
