The wedding continued.
Sparse snowflakes drifted over the imperial city.
Wearing a fiery red wedding dress, Wen Qing moved gracefully, stepping onto the crimson carpet as she walked towards the palace ahead.
Beside her, the young emperor supported her, head held high, exuding an air of grandeur.
The maids on both sides carried flower baskets, and handfuls of petals flew into the air.
Behind them, the shattered ruins of the imperial city, with a wave of Xue Yueqing's hand, were restored to their original state, the sand and soil coalescing once more.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The bells and chimes rang out, and the music was melodious.
The scene returned to its previous liveliness.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth!"
Inside the magnificent Tianyuan Hall, a newlywed couple paid homage to heaven and earth.
To their left front, the Xuan Emperor, the ruler of a dynasty, was now acting as the master of ceremonies for the wedding, shouting loudly:
"A bow in reverence to Heaven, a match made in heaven;"
"A second bow, to pay homage to the earth, to celebrate the union of husband and wife;"
"Three bows, to pay homage to Heaven and Earth, may our love endure forever!"
After the newlyweds finished their prayers to Heaven and Earth, Xiao Xuan's voice continued to ring out.
"Bowing to our parents a second time!"
Above the Tianyuan Hall, there is an empty chair.
It was prepared with tenderness for her master.
She lost her parents at a young age, and her master was her elder.
"Master, your disciple is getting married today."
Wen Qing silently recited the mantra in her heart, and knelt down at the same time as Zhang Duan.
"Master saw it."
At that moment, a figure appeared on that chair. He was ethereal and graceful, looking down at the newlyweds with a smile in his eyes.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
Xiao Xuan's voice continued.
Wen Qing and Zhang Duan completed their final prayer.
At this moment, Xiao Xuan took out the congratulatory message that his master had personally written for his second senior sister from his bosom and recited it:
"Two families unite in marriage, a covenant is made in this hall, a blessed union is forever bound, a perfect match is celebrated. Behold the peach blossoms in full bloom today, a symbol of a harmonious and prosperous home. May your descendants flourish and prosper in the years to come. With this vow of lifelong commitment, we write this on fine paper, so that our pledge of love may be recorded in the marriage register."
This is the certificate!
Xiao Xuan closed the vows and smiled slightly at Wen Qing, saying, "Second Senior Sister, this is a wedding blessing personally written for you by our Master. He hopes you will be happy and joyful."
"Your disciple, Wenqing, thanks you, Master."
Her warm, bright eyes held a smile, and a misty haze filled the air.
"Alright, the ceremony is complete. You two may now enter the bridal chamber, hahaha."
Xiao Xuan burst into laughter.
Then, surrounded by a group of female officials, Wen Qing headed towards Qingyun Palace, where the Emperor and Empress resided.
Zhang Duan was kept behind by Xiao Xuan for a drinking contest.
.........
The moonlight was like water.
Inside the Qingyun Hall, red candles flickered.
Wearing a fiery red wedding dress, Wenqing sat gracefully on the bed, quietly waiting.
Squeak!
At that moment, the palace gates were pushed open.
The young emperor, dressed in a black and gold dragon robe, walked in with a slightly flushed face.
He approached his beloved woman step by step, gently knelt before the bed, rested his head on her warm knees, and murmured with a smile:
"Sister Wen, Zhang Duan has finally married you..."
The bright moonlight enveloped the many courtyards outside the palace.
Meanwhile, in a courtyard not far away, beside a pond filled with chilly air, under a crabapple tree in full bloom, a figure like an immortal stood leisurely with his hands behind his back.
He looked up at the moon in the sky, and it seemed as if he could hear the passionate voice of the young emperor in the palace, so a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Ouch, my head hurts so much!"
"Senior sister, senior sister, are you there?"
At this moment, a discordant sound suddenly rang out in the palace, interrupting the newlyweds' whispered conversation and causing Qin Shou, who was standing far away outside the palace, to be slightly startled.
"Yi Cheng, is that you?"
Wenqing responded upon hearing the voice.
"Senior sister, it's a goose! The goose is in the little box. Quickly open the box and let the goose out; it's all dark in here."
"Yi Cheng shouted."
Wen Qing glanced around at the surroundings, then looked under the bed.
"Yi Cheng, you're under the bed, aren't you? Climb out and let us see."
"oh oh. "
After a series of "tap tap tap" sounds, a chubby little girl and a fair-skinned little fat boy crawled out from under the bed.
As soon as it climbed out, Yi Cheng's little eyes lit up and it rushed towards Wen Qing.
"Hey, hey, hey, senior sister, I want to sleep with you tonight."
"The goose still wants to hear your story."
Yi Cheng tilted her little head up and said.
Zhang Duan, standing to the side: ...Today is my wedding night! Today is my wedding night!
Although he wouldn't dare to object if Sister Wen spoke up.
"Yi Cheng, why did you get off the bed?"
Wenqing patted Yicheng's chubby head and laughed in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Senior sister, I want to see you, but Siwu said today isn't a good day and won't let me come."
"Hmph, that wretched Siwu, he doesn't want the goose to see Senior Sister."
"So, the goose let Little Fatty make a wish and come along."
"Goose, goose, goose, senior sister, aren't geese clever?"
Yi Cheng put her hands on her chubby waist, shook her shoulders triumphantly, and laughed loudly.
"Wow, you're so smart!"
Wenqing gently pinched Yicheng's nose.
"But Yi Cheng, tonight is my wedding night, it's not appropriate for me to sleep with you. Why don't you and Xiao Pang go back first, and I'll sleep with you another day?"
"No, I just want to sleep with my senior sister."
Yi Cheng immediately hugged Wen Qing's leg and shook it.
Zhang Duan: ...Junior Sister, please have mercy! Today is the most important day for me!
Squeak!
At this moment, the palace door was pushed open again.
Xiao Xuan walked in, and upon seeing Yi Cheng, he immediately slapped his forehead.
"I knew it! Junior Sister, you must have come to Second Senior Sister's place."
Xiao Xuan walked over, grabbed Xiao Pang by the back of his collar with one hand and pulled Yi Cheng by the other, and walked out.
"Yi Cheng, today is Second Senior Sister's wedding day. You can't sleep here. Come back with me."
"No, I haven't seen my senior sister in so long! I'm going to sleep here with her."
"No, I want to sleep with Yicheng."
Yi Cheng and Xiao Pang struggled.
"Hey, I can handle both of you now."
Xiao Xuan said, "I'm sorry, Junior Sister," and then grabbed the two of them by the back of the neck and walked out.
"Senior sisters, you guys continue."
Zhang Duan, standing behind Xiao Xuan, looked at him with gratitude.
From now on, this person will be my younger brother, no, my older brother.
......
Outside the palace courtyard.
"Why don't you let the goose sleep with your senior sister?"
"That's right, why won't you let us sleep with Sister Wen?"
Yi Cheng and Xiao Pang were lifted into the air, their arms crossed, indicating that they were very angry.
"My dear junior sister, today is the wedding day of our second senior sister. The bride will be sleeping in the same bed with her..."
Xiao Xuan explained with a smile.
"The goose won't listen, the goose won't listen, it's just a tortoise chanting scriptures!"
Yi Cheng shook her little head frantically.
"I won't listen, I won't listen, you're just spouting nonsense!"
Little Fatty followed suit and imitated him.
"Hehehe........"
The Qin beast under the crabapple tree caught this scene with its divine sense, shook its head and smiled helplessly, and then disappeared into the palace.
