Chapter 270 The Wedding--Farewell to Parents!
In the main hall of the Princess's Mansion, the Emperor, the Empress, the Princess, Gu Ting and Old Madam Gu sat at the head of the table.
Although it was the granddaughter’s wedding today, both the family and the person she was marrying into, the Gu family, were satisfied, and the old lady smiled lovingly.
The emperor personally arranged the marriage, although he was reluctant to let his beloved niece get married so early.
But men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. This is something that my niece must experience, so although the emperor looked majestic, he had a smile on his face.
The eldest princess' eyes were slightly red, and she was both relieved and reluctant to see her daughter get married.
Qin Qingyuan and Gu Yunfei came side by side, and anyone who saw them couldn't help but admire them as a perfect couple.
The elders were very pleased to see the two people wearing bright red wedding dresses and wedding gowns kneeling in the hall and performing the ritual of three bows and nine kowtows.
Qin Qingyuan knelt in the hall and bowed respectfully, "I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Empress, and I pay my respects to my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
The Emperor and Empress nodded, and the Emperor said, "I grant you my most beloved niece in marriage. You must treat her well in the future. Otherwise, I will allow you to divorce at any time."
As Gu Yunfei's uncle, the emperor is willing to be his niece's biggest supporter.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will not allow the princess to have a chance to divorce. Thank you, Your Majesty, for granting me and the princess a marriage, so that I can marry my beloved."
Qin Qingyuan was grateful to the emperor. Granting him a marriage with Gu Yunfei was the supreme honor for the Qin family.
When the Qin family first arrived in the capital, they had a weak foundation and no background of an aristocratic family. As a princess, they could have had better choices, but the emperor still granted them a marriage.
He finally married the princess and his beloved girl.
He would use his life to cherish her, love her, and protect her. As long as he was there, he would not let the princess have any thoughts of divorce.
"Get up! We trust you. Today, the princess and I are entrusting our precious jewel to you. We hope you will live in harmony and happiness as husband and wife in the future."
After such a long period of contact, Gu Ting is now very satisfied with Qin Qingyuan. With a son-in-law who can even crawl through a dog hole, there is nothing to worry about.
Besides, it’s so close, what difference does it make whether she is married or not? My niece-in-law is married, so she can go back to her parents’ home whenever she wants.
The Qin family doesn't have this rule, and neither does their Gu family. His daughter is protected by him, so she has the capital to be willful.
"I will definitely live up to the expectations of the princess, my father-in-law, my mother-in-law, and my grandmother."
Qin Qingyuan's promise made the eldest princess and Gu's mother's eyes red.
The eldest princess and the others wiped their eyes and said to Gu Yunfei, "When you get to your husband's house, you must be filial to your parents-in-law and get along well with your sisters-in-law."
"The Gu family will always support you, you can come home at any time!" Old Madam Gu loved this granddaughter the most.
Gu Yunfei's voice choked slightly: "Yunfei remembers the teachings of my grandmother and mother."
After saying that, he and Qin Qingyuan kowtowed to the elders together.
After the farewell ceremony, the bridesmaid shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has come, the newlyweds are leaving the sedan chair——"
Qin Qingyuan took Gu Yunfei's hand and walked out of the main hall.
The wedding sedan was prepared early in the courtyard, and the curtains were embroidered with pictures of hundreds of children and grandchildren, which was very luxurious.
According to etiquette, the bride must be carried into the sedan chair by her brother on her wedding day.
The two branches of the Gu family have a good relationship, and it was Gu Jinghuai who carried Gu Yunfei into the sedan chair today.
Gu Jinghuai squatted down and carried Gu Yunfei steadily on his back, with Gu Yunlang and Gu Jingshu supporting her on both sides.
It’s not that they are afraid that Gu Yunfei will fall, but they are also Gu Yunfei’s brothers, and they are also the support of their eldest sister.
Gu Jinghuai whispered to Gu Yunfei on his back, "Don't worry, sister. Qingyuan is a reliable person. I believe in his character. But if he betrays you, I will still stand by you. You will always be a girl of our Gu family."
Gu Yunfei leaned on Gu Jinghuai's back, feeling like crying. Her elder brother was usually quite reserved, and she didn't expect him to be so nice to her. She said "hmm" softly.
Gu Yunlang, who was standing next to him, heard what his elder brother said and said to Gu Yunfei, "Eldest sister, as well as Brother Jingshu and I, we are all your supporters."
"Yes, we are your supporters just like big brother."
Gu Yunfei was deeply moved, but she tried to control her tears so as not to ruin her makeup.
With such family and brothers, she has no regrets in her life.
"Brother, second brother, Yunlang, don't worry, Qingyuan and I will be fine."
Gu Jinghuai carried Gu Yunfei on his back and personally escorted him into the sedan chair. He lowered the curtain and turned to Qin Qingyuan, bowing and saying, "Brother, Yunfei is now in your care."
Although Gu Yunfei is going to marry Qin Qingyuan today, Gu Jinghuai is still used to calling Qin Qingyuan "big brother".
Qin Qingyuan returned the greeting solemnly, "Brother, rest assured, I will protect the princess with my life."
At this moment, Gu Jinghuai was the brother who was sending his sister to get married. Qin Qingyuan's promise was a promise to his wife's brother, so he called Gu Jinghuai brother.
As for how he and Gu Jinghuai address each other, it’s up to them.
At the Gu family and the Princess's Mansion, he called Gu Jinghuai "Big Brother". At the Qin family, Gu Jinghuai called him "Big Brother". It depends on the situation. After all, they were marrying each other's precious sisters, so it was not excessive to call him "Big Brother" or "Brother-in-law".
"Lift the sedan!"
Following this loud shout, the sedan bearers lifted the wedding sedan steadily.
"Second uncle's Fei'er, you are still a little kid in my heart, how come you got married in the blink of an eye?"
According to the rules, someone had to cry and send the sedan chair out of the mansion. Today, those who came to the Princess's Mansion were all from noble families or important officials in the court. Qin Zhizhi assigned this task to her father-in-law Gu Shi.
Gu Shi really loves his niece, he has loved her since she was a child. Now seeing his niece's sedan chair is about to leave, he feels reluctant to let her go and cries miserably.
There is a saying that the louder you cry, the happier you will be when you marry into your husband's family.
Gu Shi's voice was loud and he cried miserably, and everyone was infected at once.
Qin Zhizhi didn't expect her father-in-law to cry so contagiously. She even saw the emperor's eyes start to turn red.
Qin Zhizhi winked at Gu Jinghuai, and the sedan bearers carried the sedan out. Qin Qingyuan jumped on the horse and walked in front of the sedan.
The band played festive music and the wedding procession slowly left the Princess's Mansion.
The Princess's Mansion and the streets were crowded with people watching the fun.
The housekeeper of the Princess's Mansion had dozens of baskets of copper coin petals brought out and scattered them along the way until they reached the Qin family.
The children ran after the wedding procession, scrambling to grab the wedding money that fell to the ground. The women looked at the gorgeous wedding sedan with envy in their eyes.
The Qin family sincerely wanted to marry their daughter, and the Princess's Mansion married their daughter lavishly, with both the betrothal gifts and the dowry being dazzling.
The Qin family and the Princess's Mansion were close to each other, so the Emperor specially allowed them to circle the city.
Qin Qingyuan rode his horse at the front of the team, his heart full of tenderness. He felt even more proud and excited than when he won the third place in the imperial examination and rode his horse in the parade.
"Master Marquis, we've arrived at the Qin Mansion!" Xiao Si's reminder interrupted Qin Qingyuan's thoughts.
He looked up and saw his home right before his eyes. He had finally welcomed his beloved woman back home. She was the only woman in his life.
Mrs. Qin, Old Man Qin, the eldest uncle, the second uncle, the clan leader, Qin's parents, uncles, and brothers had been waiting for a long time under the leadership of the clan leader.
A big red carpet was laid from the entrance of Qin's house to the main hall, with relatives and friends coming to congratulate on both sides.
