The Crown Princess was of the first rank, second only to the Empress. All her clothing etiquette was the same as that of the Empress. Emperor Ming Cheng ordered all the embroiderers in the palace to work together, and finally brought the wedding dress to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion three days before the wedding.
The wedding dress was bright red, embroidered with phoenix patterns. Needless to say, the palace embroiderers embroidered the phoenix with great vigor and vitality, and it did not look feminine at all when worn by a man.
The ceremony of appointing the Crown Prince as his consort took several days. Several ceremonies were held in the palace on the day before the wedding, and the sounds of ritual music could be heard outside the palace walls. Considering the Crown Prince's poor health, the number of ceremonies was reduced, but even so, all the rules still made Lin Ting'er astonished.
However, at three o'clock in the morning, Lin Su wanted to change his clothes. He wore a bright red wedding dress with a flowing cloud phoenix crown. He was tall and straight, and the complicated wedding dress made him look luxurious and handsome.
The Crown Prince's wife performed the ceremony in the palace without wearing a veil. Xiao Tang came to greet her in person wearing a royal robe. He always liked to wear white clothes, and his clothes were all light colors. Now his royal robe was bright red, and he wore a crown. His face was carefully groomed, and even though his face looked cold, he could not hide his joy.
Lin Su took a look and said, "It's very beautiful."
There was also surprise in Xiao Tang's eyes: "You are the same."
He was welcomed back to the palace with ceremonial guards, and all the ministers took their seats and performed the ceremony of bowing to heaven and earth. They ate from the same livestock, and were given imperial decrees and other treasures, and received congratulations from all the ministers.
The ministers had seen Lin Su and the prince before, but perhaps because of the overwhelming joy, the two standing on the high steps looked really well-matched.
Xiao Jin was also present at the Crown Prince's wedding. He had originally disliked Lin Su, but when he saw him today, his eyes were fixed on him and he couldn't move away. The general had fought on the battlefield and was a man of iron and blood. Lin Su didn't look feminine at all in his phoenix wedding dress. Instead, his already handsome face was made even more handsome like a god by the extraordinarily gorgeous wedding dress. Standing with Crown Prince Xiao Tang, his eyes and eyebrows were filled with a hint of tenderness, which made people jealous no matter how they looked at him.
Xiao Jin was not averse to women, especially Shuang'er, but Shuang'er was often delicate and soft, which always made him feel not very interested. He used to dislike Lin Su because he was a man, but now that he knew he was Shuang'er, he would naturally be very happy if such a Shuang'er was conquered.
He hated Lin Ting'er's appearance, but the person he was going to marry had changed. If he had been asked to marry Lin Su in the beginning, he would naturally be willing, but now Xiao Tang got a great advantage.
After the ceremony, Emperor Ming Cheng was released, the Crown Prince went first, and Lin Su was sent to the room. He also went through the ceremony of conferring the title of Queen, and this simplified procedure was not troublesome for him.
Xiao Tang bid farewell to the palace and went through several more ceremonies before he was finally allowed to enter the room. There were more ceremonies in the room, such as washing hands, tasting the concubine's food, offering wine, and drinking... When all the procedures were completed, it was dark outside.
"Please perform the wedding ceremony," said the serving maid.
All procedures for the people in the palace required someone to serve them. Even when the emperor recruited concubines, there were people waiting to serve him at any time. This was the tradition of the Xiao Kingdom. Xiao Tang had never thought that he would have the opportunity to get married. With these words, his mind, which had been exhausted by the countless rituals, was instantly lifted.
Lin Su noticed the shyness in his eyes and said, "You guys can step back and just stand guard outside the house."
"This...Princess, this is against the rules." The old woman said boldly.
"In this prince's mansion, what the prince and I said is the rule. Leave." Lin Su's voice became deep.
The waiters looked at each other with their heads bowed, and said, "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, please go to bed early."
Those people left one after another, the door was closed, and silence returned to the room.
Xiao Tang was a little embarrassed at first, but now he was inexplicably nervous. It was his wife who was waiting for him in the wedding room, but now he was like a fat sheep that he had delivered to this person. What should he do if he really wanted to do that?
His breathing was trembling slightly. Lin Su looked down at him and knew he was nervous. He had considered himself a man for nearly twenty years, but now he had to do the work of a lower position. No matter how he thought about it, he was nervous: "It's been a busy day today. Are you hungry?"
Although the ceremonies had been reduced a lot, they were still extremely tedious. He hadn't been able to rest since the day before, and the food he ate was definitely not to his taste. It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but as soon as he said it, Xiao Tang felt his stomach empty: "How about you?"
"Of course I'm hungry." Lin Su took off his coat to prevent it from being pulled by the jacket, then walked to the table. Under Xiao Tang's puzzled gaze, he pulled out a square box from under the table and took it over.
The pastries used for the wedding were all made of dough and formed into a tripod. They looked beautiful, but they were indeed inedible. Xiao Tang was still confused, but when he saw him come over and open the box of pastries, he was stunned for a moment: "When did you put it there?"
"I asked Ting'er to bring it here in advance, thinking you would be hungry." Lin Su smiled and said, "Try it."
"Having a brother like you who orders her around everywhere, she must be extremely resentful." Xiao Tang felt a little relieved when thinking about the scene of him ordering his sister around.
He was already hungry, and the cake looked delicious. Xiao Tang picked up a piece and took a bite. He tasted a slightly sweet taste of alcohol. He looked at it curiously, "What kind of cake is this?"
"How does the wine-filled one taste?" Lin Su asked.
"It doesn't have any noticeable alcohol taste, but it's sweet and delicious, which is really rare." Xiao Tang had never tasted such pastries before, and he couldn't help but try two more pieces.
"Drink some water to relieve the greasiness." Lin Su only ate two pieces and stood up to pour him a glass of warm water.
"Thank you." Xiao Tang took the cup and felt a little satisfied when he drank it.
But when he put down the cup, he felt his face slightly hot. He touched his face and when he looked up, he saw Lin Su looking at him seriously.
The whole room was red, and the dragon and phoenix candles made the blush seem to spread. Xiao Tang knew that Lin Susheng was very good, but when he looked at him under the light, he felt warm in his heart and wanted to get closer.
He moved slightly, and Lin Su lowered his head and kissed him. When they separated, he asked, "Are you still nervous?"
"You did it on purpose." Xiao Tang was a little tipsy. He just touched the cup of the Hechuang wine. The only thing that made him dizzy was the wine in the pastry.
"It's just a little bit, just to liven things up." Lin Su stroked his cheek and said, "Don't be afraid."
Xiao Tang put his arm around his shoulders, lowered his eyes and leaned forward: "No."
He wasn't afraid, he was just nervous. Now that his mind was somewhat free, he didn't have to be as cautious as usual.
The bed curtains were drawn, and the red candles burned out all night long, burning out only at dawn, leaving her body covered in red tears.
The door was tightly closed, no sunlight could get in, and the room felt dim. Xiao Tang's consciousness was a little hazy and floating, and his whole body was warm, without any trace of the coldness he had felt before.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you should get up, otherwise you will miss the time to enter the palace." Someone shouted outside.
On the second day after the wedding, the bride must go to the palace to express gratitude, and the newly married princess must also go to pay her respects to the queen.
