Everyone praised the prince for his good fortune in marrying such a beautiful and talented woman, as if they were telling the story of the most beautiful marriage in the world.
The ladies, holding round fans, moved with elegant postures, occasionally covering their mouths and chuckling as they discussed the bride's beauty and talent.
People were speculating about how stunning the two brides would look after they put on makeup, as if they were anticipating a visual feast.
Ning Chenyi also appeared at the Prince's Mansion with the Empress. The arrival of the Emperor and Empress instantly attracted everyone's attention, like the most dazzling star in the night sky.
Ning Chenyi was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, his posture was as upright as a mountain peak, and every move he made exuded imperial majesty. His majesty was like a towering mountain, awe-inspiring.
The Empress, adorned in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, possessed an elegant and graceful demeanor. Every gesture she made exuded the majesty of an empress, as noble and refined as a blooming peony.
Their arrival undoubtedly added a touch of grandeur and nobility to the wedding, making the entire event even more dazzling.
As for their two children, they have now been safely entrusted to the care of a wet nurse.
The wet nurse held the child and softly hummed an ancient and melodious nursery rhyme in a quiet courtyard in the palace.
The sound was like a clear mountain spring, flowing into the children's dreams.
The children were sleeping soundly in her warm embrace, with a slight smile on their lips.
As the sun dipped westward, its afterglow spilled onto the vermilion walls of the Prince's Palace, bathed in the expectant and heartfelt gazes of the crowd.
Two bridal sedan chairs came to a leisurely and steady stop outside the magnificent vermilion gate of the Jinrui Zhaowang Mansion.
For a moment, the surrounding clamor and joyful noise seemed to quiet down, and everyone held their breath.
Their gazes were drawn to the two bridal sedan chairs, which seemed to be drawn by a magnet, and were fixed on them.
In front of the Prince's Mansion, bright red lanterns hang high, swaying gently in the wind, casting a warm and festive glow on the surroundings.
The exquisite gold patterns on the lanterns shimmered in the breeze, complementing the vermilion gates of the Prince's Palace.
On both sides of the entrance, guests whispered among themselves, their faces beaming with genuine smiles, occasionally tiptoeing to be the first to catch a glimpse of the bride.
Officials in their finest attire whispered about how perfect the marriage was, while the ladies, holding round fans, covered their mouths and chuckled softly, their eyes filled with blessings and curiosity for the newlyweds.
With a gentle sway of the sedan curtain, Su Jinyun and Qin Qianluo stepped out of the sedan chair one after the other.
They were graceful and light-footed, and their wedding dresses were exquisitely embroidered.
The dragon and phoenix patterns outlined in gold and silver threads shone brightly under the red candlelight, every detail telling of the grandeur and luxury of this wedding.
The two walked hand in hand, slowly crossing the heavy threshold of the Prince's Mansion, a symbol of the start of a new life.
In an instant, ceremonial music resounded, the steady sound of bells and drums, the crisp sound of chimes, and the high-pitched sound of suona horns intertwined to create a joyous melody.
The cheerful melody soared into the sky, as if to let heaven and earth witness this sweetness together.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth—Second bow to the parents—Husband and wife bow to each other—Enter the bridal chamber—"
As the wedding officiant's clear, melodious, and articulate singing faded away, countless fireworks burst forth in the dark blue night sky.
With several loud "bangs," colorful flames bloomed like dreamlike flowers, illuminating the entire palace as bright as day.
Sparks flew everywhere, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, reflecting the beaming smiles on everyone's faces.
The children clapped excitedly, while the adults looked up to admire the magnificent fireworks, their exclamations of praise rising and falling.
Su Jinyun stood there, feeling her emotions churning, and her eyes involuntarily reddened slightly.
Years of pent-up feelings converged into a surging tide at this moment, crashing against her heart.
She reached out her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly, as if touching this hard-won happiness, and gently grasped Qin Qianluo's hand.
Looking at the person in front of me, whom I have liked for many years, from being moved to waiting to finally becoming husband and wife.
A thousand thoughts raced through my mind; those shy glances, moonlit walks, and heartfelt conversations of the past all transformed into glistening tears in my eyes.
Qin Qianlu keenly sensed Su Jinyun's excitement; her slightly trembling fingertips seemed to carry an electric current, touching her heartstrings.
She gently grasped Su Jinyun's hand in return. The warmth from her palm was a silent yet powerful comfort, as if saying: For the rest of our lives, no matter the storms, we will never betray each other.
The elaborate and solemn ceremonies were completed one by one in a lively and joyous atmosphere. The two were surrounded by a group of smiling maids dressed in colorful clothes as they walked towards their bridal chamber.
All along the way, the air was filled with the cheerful laughter and heartfelt blessings of the guests.
Children laughed and frolicked among the crowd, while adults, their faces beaming with satisfaction, whispered among themselves, praising the newlyweds' extraordinary good looks.
The palace lanterns along the way emitted a soft glow, casting long shadows of everyone on the ground, creating a warm and inviting scene.
Upon arriving at the new house, the interior was decorated in a warm and festive style, with bright red "double happiness" characters covering the walls and a bed canopy adorned with dragons and phoenixes hanging low.
The maids thoughtfully slipped a lucky charm into each of their hands. Su Jinyun's palms were slightly sweaty with nervousness, the fine beads of sweat glistening in the candlelight.
She took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly, trying hard to keep her hands from trembling.
