"Brother, this won't work."
"Stop talking nonsense. You tolerated us back then, but now you are against us?"
Xia Xiao had something to say, but Xia Xu's hand was heavy and fell on his shoulder. Xia Xu's face suddenly became serious, even solemn, which made Xia Xiao shut up.
"I like women like this, don't interfere, or I'll take care of you."
Xia Xiao looked at his elder brother. There was a serious look in his eyes, as if he had already made up his mind about this matter, and Xia Xiao could not change it no matter what he said. Since childhood, Xia Xu told Xia Xiao that he should be brave enough to take responsibility for his actions. In the past, because Shu Shuang was there, Xia Xiao only felt guilty towards Hui Yue, and it was difficult for him to make up for it with actual actions. After that incident, it would definitely be difficult for her to remarry, but it was not the elder brother's responsibility.
"Brother, why bother?"
Both brothers are loyal and righteous people. When Xia Xu saw Xia Xiao's bitter face, he burst into laughter.
"She already said she likes me, otherwise why would you go through so much trouble? But it depends on her willingness. We are not forcing her to marry us."
Xia Xiao nodded slightly. He trusted his elder brother, but would Huiyue really agree to this marriage? Xia Xiao felt that it was not certain. Although Huiyue often visited the Xia Mansion and settled down in Zhenxun, she would definitely mind it in her heart. No matter what the reason was, she was no longer clean.
If the incident in Wanling City was exposed, she would still be criticized. People in Zhenxun always couldn't control their mouths.
During the Wild Beast Forest riot, Huiyue's family came to Zhenxun, and it has been half a year. Huiyue's parents went back to their old business, transporting medicines. With the help of the Xia Mansion, it was not difficult to find such a job. She was full of gratitude and often came to the Xia Mansion to accompany Xiao Rong and Xia Wan. However, there were some things that no one could guess the results of if she did not make a decision.
After combing their hair and putting on makeup, the family sat in the room, estimating the time.
"We have to go first, and someone will come to pick you up when the time is right."
"Dad, Mom, don't worry!"
Today, Xia Wan was dressed in red, and Xia Jinghong personally covered her with a red veil. She left a gentle smile in front of her family, as if she would not back down no matter what she faced. This family has the spirit of facing challenges head-on and becoming more courageous with each setback. But the more they do this, the more things they encounter.
Xia Wan sat quietly in the room. Several maids from the Southern Kingdom wanted to say something to comfort the bride, but they felt that they should not say too much, so as not to break the rules. They wanted to tell Xia Wan that they would serve her in the future and hoped that she would rest assured that the Southern Kingdom was not a place full of tigers and wolves. But there were special people who said such things.
Like every princess who married far away, Xia Wan also brought a personal maid with her. She sat beside Xia Wan, held her hand, and whispered:
"I will always be by my sister's side."
"Xiao Xin, thank you for your hard work."
This maid named Xiaoxin came from the Zhenxun Palace. Because she gave Shu Shuang an umbrella, she was taken away from the palace and came to Xia Mansion. There were fewer things and fewer people in Xia Mansion than in the palace. The maids and sisters got along well and developed friendship. Compared with the intrigue in the palace, people in Xia Mansion could speak freely. Xiaoxin came to Yu Valley voluntarily with Xia Wan this time.
She was a little girl who wanted to explore the world, but she couldn't go to places too far away, nor could she wander around alone, so she followed the young lady and traveled around to broaden her horizons. At first, Xiaoxin was worried about her own and the young lady's comfort, but when she saw the appearance of the master and the young master, she felt much more relieved.
At this time, the four maids in the room stood in two rows, one on each side of Xia Wan's bed. They were like a human-shaped passage, which surprised the eunuch who opened the door.
It was a beautiful day, with a few red candles and some red satin, adding some festive red light to the bride who was dressed in red and covered with a veil. Red was the main color today, but the brightest thing was the bride's wedding dress. The gold and silver jewelry were even more sparkling, just like the person underneath.
The clothes outlined extremely beautiful lines, making Xia Wan, who was sitting, dignified and gorgeous. There was also a sense of surprise when the veil was lifted, hidden between the red cloth veil. Even the father-in-law had an unprecedented impulse at this time. The veil made people excited and surging. When the father-in-law realized his rudeness, he lowered his head in shame and reported:
"The auspicious time has arrived—"
With a sharp and feminine voice, Xia Wan gradually stood up with the help of Xiao Xin, and the four maids and the eunuch knelt down to pay their respects. The wedding was about to take place, and even though the ceremony had not yet begun, Xia Wan had already become the prince's consort of the Southern Kingdom, and thus had a place in this palace, in Yu Gu, and in the Southern Kingdom.
Xia Wan stood beside the bed, looking straight ahead. Although she couldn't see clearly, with Xiao Xin beside her, she held her head high and chest out, taking the most confident steps.
"Sister, slow down~"
Xiao Xin looked at the road very carefully. When Xia Wan walked to the door, her air bangs were blown by a breeze and fluttered to both sides. Today's breeze was light and warm, without heat waves or coldness, just right. It was just like the relationship between Xia Wan and Xie Yi, there was no intense love, but there was also some faint affection.
In this breeze, Xia Wan walked out of her pride. After walking a few steps, she heard Xiao Xin say in her ear:
"We'll be entering the palace soon."
Xia Wan lowered her head slightly, and seeing the red carpet under her feet, she paid more attention to her manners. When she came here, she was suddenly excited, thinking that she would witness her wedding in front of so many people, which was an indescribable happiness. Even though there was darkness after the wedding, the sunlight shining on her body was warm, just like the person waiting for her in the palace, gentle and caring.
Xia Wan walked up the many steps and out of the palace, and her figure appeared in the eyes of all the officials. She had a slender figure and graceful manners. Xia Wan's steps were light, and the red veil on her head brought a mysterious and stunning beauty to everyone.
The wine jar was startled and fell on the table without being moved. It was held in the hand without being raised or put down. The maids were shocked. They could only dream of holding a wedding in such a huge palace. Walking from the outside of the palace to the inside of the palace and in front of the throne, this red carpet walk is probably the happiest journey in life.
Countless eyes were envious, countless eyes were blessing. The elegant music and bamboo string music played happily, and the hall was quiet, as if there were only Xia Wan and Xie Yi in front of her. Xia Wan walked into the hall door, and the distant figure came closer in an instant. Xiao Xin let go of her arm and stood beside the hall door. Xie Yi should accompany her on the next part of the journey.
The veil blocked her view, but she could only see half of the tall body and a strong hand. The hand came towards Xia Wan, and she gently leaned on it and walked forward slowly.
Following the guidance of her palm, Xia Wan walked forward very boldly. This red carpet was very long, but it was not as long as the rest of her life. The musicians could hardly see her beauty. They played music with ecstasy. When the festive sound was played in the hall, Xia Wan heard Xie Yi whispering softly.
"arrive."
Xie Yi did not stop, and waited until Xia Wan stopped before he stopped. According to the etiquette of the Southern Kingdom, they had to pay homage to the heaven and earth and their parents. In the high and loud voice of the ceremonial officer, they performed the ceremony one by one, without panic or confusion, and each ceremony was just right. The elegant demeanor of Xie Yi and Xia Wan gave people a feeling of being a perfect match, as if there was no political factor in this wedding.
The etiquette was a little complicated, but it was a one-stop formality. Once these ceremonies were completed, they would become a real family.
