"First bow to Heaven and Earth."
"Bowing to the parents twice."
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
With each shout, their hearts drew closer and closer. From this moment on, they were husband and wife.
"Send them to the bridal chamber! The ceremony is complete."
Di Beiyao was helped back to the bridal chamber by a maid, while Jun Wuji toasted everyone in the front hall.
The Empress sat on the large red bed covered with peanuts and red dates, her mind filled with thoughts of:
Damn it, it's really uncomfortable!
Hearing the door close, he knew the matchmaker had left. He couldn't wait to lift his red veil, stand up and sweep the peanuts and red dates on the bed aside. Only when he sat down again did he finally feel comfortable. The rumbling of his stomach made Di Beiyao's face darken. His eyes swept over the pastries on the table not far away: Heaven has been kind to me!
"Cough cough cough..." He choked, grabbed a wine jug from the side, poured himself a cup, and drank it down, finally managing to swallow the pastry stuck in his throat.
"Hmm? This wine tastes pretty good." The aroma was enticing, and the aftertaste was delightful. Di Beiyao couldn't resist taking another glass.
"Host, this is nuptial wine," Lingling reminded her. Forgive it, it really couldn't bear to watch anymore; any more and it would be gone!
"The nuptial wine...?" Di Beiyao's hand holding the wine pot paused.
"Yes," Lingling said confidently.
So what did she do? She almost drank the whole pot of nuptial wine by herself. She covered her face and ran away!
The person who had done wrong silently returned to the wedding bed, covered their head with the red veil, and sat down properly.
Di Beiyao thought he would have to wait a while, but before an incense stick could burn, the door was pushed open.
With his head covered by a veil, Di Beiyao couldn't see who was approaching until the footsteps drew nearer, at which point he could see a pair of red boots.
The veil was then lifted, revealing Jun Wuji's handsome face, slightly tipsy.
"Madam, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Perhaps because he had been drinking, Jun Wuji's voice was incredibly hoarse and low at this moment.
The Empress felt her heart flutter at Jun Wuji's address of "Madam," and she wrapped her arms around his waist, coquettishly saying...
"Why did you drink so much? My husband is so disobedient."
Jun Wuji chuckled softly, "Madam."
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Di Beiyao responded softly.
"Madam." Jun Wuji bent down, his long, narrow phoenix eyes looking directly into her dark eyes.
"I'm here." Di Beiyao looked at Jun Wuji's handsome face so close to hers: Wow, Jun Wuji, oh no, her husband is really good-looking!
Looking at his handsome, arched eyebrows, his long, beautiful phoenix eyes, his straight nose, and his thin, perfectly shaped lips…
I really want to... kiss him.
Thinking this in his mind, Di Beiyao did just that, lifting his small face and pressing a kiss to Jun Wuji's lips.
However, he was quickly released. Jun Wuji walked unsteadily to the table and picked up the nuptial wine that Di Beiyao had almost finished drinking.
After pouring two cups, she staggered back. The Empress thought that Jun Wuji looked a lot like... um... a roly-poly toy?
Suppressing the urge to laugh, I took the wine cup that Jun Wuji offered.
"My lady, for this life and for all eternity, until death do us part."
His narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes were filled with boundless affection, and his gentle voice spoke slowly, each word deliberate yet carrying a resolute determination from his very soul.
Di Beiyao also looked into Jun Wuji's eyes, his red lips slightly parted.
"Through wealth and poverty, we will stay together, never to be separated."
The moonlight outside was bright, and the evening breeze was slightly chilly. But inside, the temperature gradually rose until it was scorching hot.
