Strangely, although Su Wanyan felt that they had dressed her in a lot of clothes, the clothes did not feel very heavy, suggesting that the material used to make them was very light and thin.
Given Yu Nanqing's taste, the fabric used to make the clothes must be of high quality. The light and thin fabric that doesn't feel heavy even after so many layers must be a rare find.
Su Wanyan was blindfolded and could only guess wildly based on these details.
As dawn broke, a ray of sunlight streamed in through the window. Through the blindfold, Su Wanyan could feel a faint light and said, "Is it daylight?"
Just then, Qiu Ye and Huang Ye finished their work and looked at the golden light shining through the window paper. They were in a particularly good mood: "Yes, Your Majesty, it's dawn."
The door creaked open.
Autumn leaves and yellow leaves lowered their gazes, and Fuli withdrew.
Su Wanyan felt the space beside her empty, and slightly raised her eyes towards the shadow: "Yu Nanqing?"
Before her stood Su Wanyan, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, wearing a golden phoenix crown, with glass beads and jade hanging from her temples, and her lips, adorned with vermilion, exuding an alluring color.
Yu Nanqing swallowed slightly, then gently lifted his five distinct fingers and carefully removed the silk blindfold covering Su Wanyan's eyes.
Su Wanyan's clear eyes met his gaze. Before her stood Yu Nanqing, dressed in a bright red wedding robe. The overlapping collar was adorned with gold thread patterns, and the hem was decorated with soaring clouds and flying pythons, along with a blueprint of mountains and seas.
His cool and handsome face, complemented by this outfit, made Su Wanyan's heart flutter.
Her eyes brightened slightly, but she turned her face away the next second, rationally suppressing the flutter in her heart.
Seeing that Su Wanyan didn't seem surprised, Yu Nanqing suddenly looked a little uneasy: "Yan'er... doesn't like it?"
He had originally planned to give Su Wanyan a surprise, but seeing her like this, he felt a little flustered.
Su Wanyan chuckled: "Where did I say I didn't like it?"
Yu Nanqing frowned slightly: "But... Yan'er's expression..."
It was a faint feeling, neither joy nor disgust.
This left Yu Nanqing unsure of what to do.
"I guessed it." Su Wanyan's beautiful lips curved slightly as she looked at Yu Nanqing: "It's so obvious, even a fool could guess it."
Who would get up in the middle of the night to do their hair for no reason? Huang Ye even prepared pastries for her beforehand.
This isn't the capital, so there's no need to go to the palace to pay respects. Her attire has always been simple, but now that they're layering her up like this, she can guess what Yu Nanqing is up to.
Yu Nanqing opened his mouth in a daze, then closed it again reluctantly. After a long while, he said, "I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but nothing can be hidden from Yan'er."
"It's already a pleasant surprise." Su Wanyan was indeed pleasantly surprised.
She never expected that Yu Nanqing would hold a wedding ceremony for her at this time.
"But your expression..."
Su Wanyan glanced at him with amusement: "You've known me for a while now. I'm not the kind of person who makes a fuss over nothing."
“…” Yu Nanqing was stunned.
Isn't she?
As far as I can remember, that's her.
Forget it, never mind.
Yu Nanqing gently took Su Wanyan's hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it softly: "Would you marry me, Yan'er?"
"You're still asking this now?"
Yu Nanqing pursed his lips. No matter how many times he asked, he wanted to hear Su Wanyan's definite answer.
Helpless, Su Wanyan could only smile and say again, "I'm willing, I'm willing no matter when, I'm willing no matter how many lifetimes."
Su Wanyan placed her small hand on his large hand: "So, what should I do now?"
"Get into the bridal sedan chair."
Yu Nanqing took the red veil from the side, hesitated for a moment, then folded it up and put it in his pocket.
Su Wanyan asked curiously, "Aren't you going to cover it?"
"When we talk about our wedding in the future, we will remember that today I hid the red veil and showed your face to the world, so that no one else could have any interest in you."
His cigarette belongs to only him in this lifetime...
No, it should be that he belongs only to Yan'er.
Su Wanyan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, and the phoenix crown and jewels jingled softly as they swayed slightly: "Childish."
Yu Nanqing pursed his lips slightly, not denying Su Wanyan's words, but... even though he was so childish, Su Wanyan would still indulge him.
He tightened his grip on Su Wanyan's hand, slowly walked to the door, and opened it.
As soon as the door opened, a joyous shout rang out: "The resounding drums and gongs celebrate the New Year, and tender love warms the heart!"
As soon as the shouts subsided, the sound of gongs and drums began.
Su Wanyan couldn't help but laugh out loud twice, looking at the scene before her with delight.
Two rows of musicians stood in the courtyard, and a bright red bridal sedan chair was placed in the center of the courtyard. Qiu Ye and Huang Ye led a group of maids, scattering fresh flowers and dew towards Su Wanyan and Yu Nanqing.
Su Wanyan saw that behind the sedan chair procession, the maids' flower baskets were filled with silver coins and wedding candies.
Seeing Su Wanyan finally smile, Yu Nanqing's anxious heart calmed down. He took her hand and stepped out of the door.
Then the master of ceremonies shouted: "Auspicious day and time, joy fills the house, may you see happiness as you go out and welcome your new bride!"
Then another handful of petals fell, some of which were mixed with glittering gold leaf.
With Yu Nanqing's gentle support, Su Wanyan slowly stepped into the bridal sedan chair.
The master of ceremonies waved his hands and shouted, "Rise!"
The bridal sedan chair was immediately and steadily lifted up.
At the gate of the villa, a chestnut horse had been waiting for a long time. Yu Nanqing took the reins, flipped over, and steadily mounted the horse.
"Firecrackers crackle, music plays, and bright red 'double happiness' characters are pasted up in the hall."
"A noisy scene unfolded in front of the hundred-person table as a newlywed couple made their entrance."
The master of ceremonies, leading the way, joyfully shouted celebratory words, and amidst the clamor of gongs and drums, the wedding procession set off in a grand procession from the villa.
It's only a two-hour journey from here to Fucheng. Behind the procession, regardless of whether there were people or not, silver coins and wedding candies were scattered all the way, while the front of the wedding procession was cleared with flower petals and gold foil.
Before long, the sound of gongs and drums attracted villagers along the way. They noticed the wedding candies and silver coins scattered behind them and hurriedly followed the procession to pick them up.
Gradually, the wedding procession became more and more lively, with men, women, young and old, all following behind in a bustling crowd.
When the bridal sedan chair entered the city, the guards on the city wall were startled and immediately reported to the patrol leader.
As early as yesterday, Yu Nanqing had already sent Tian Zhong and his men to give the order. When the patrol leader heard about the commotion, he went up to the city wall and was stunned. When he came yesterday, he didn't say it was a wedding procession.
Yesterday, it was Tanaka who came to negotiate. The leader of the patrol team did not recognize Yu Nanqing. When he saw the groom walking in front, the patrolman frowned. When he saw Tanaka accompanying him, the leader's heart skipped a beat. He quickly led a group of soldiers out of the city gate to greet him.
At the same time, he did not forget to send someone to report to the Prefect of Fucheng.
In the past, when ordinary people got married, there would be at least eighty or a hundred wedding processions passing through the city gates. But this time it was different. This time it was Prince Gong of the Great Jin Dynasty, who was sent by the court to Fuzhou as the lord of Fuzhou.
