I don't know why, even though it feels like I just woke up not long ago, and I only had time to wash up and get dressed, time just flew by.
Seeing Qing'er, fully dressed and ready to say goodbye with the help of the matchmaker and Shuang'er, Chen Nian, sitting next to the Empress Dowager, truly realized that Qing'er was really going to get married.
She hadn't felt this strongly when Qing'er was getting dressed up, but now, seeing Qing'er in her finest attire, she felt a strong emotional conflict. The person who had grown up with her since childhood, protected her, spoiled her, and indulged her, the person she had promised to rely on for life, was getting married today.
And she will do the same a day later.
"Qing'er bids farewell to the Empress Dowager—"
With the help of the matchmaker and Shuang'er, Qing'er entered the main hall. Looking at the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the Empress, Consort Ling, and her good sister, her eyes reddened. She walked to the center of the hall, knelt down, and her voice choked with sobs. It took her a long time to compose herself and stand up.
The Empress Dowager looked down at Qing'er and walked down. Noticing the Empress Dowager's slightly trembling hands, Chen Nian also stood up and helped the Empress Dowager up.
In this hall, the two of them had spent the most time with Qing'er and had the deepest feelings for her. They had raised her and accompanied her for more than ten years, and today they were getting married.
"Qing'er—"
The three of them looked at each other deeply, their eyes reddening.
The groom and his entourage, who were walking towards Cining Palace, saw from afar Chen Nian and the Empress Dowager with red eyes. Qing'er was facing away from them, so they couldn't see her, but unsurprisingly, she was also probably red-eyed.
Looking at Chen Nian's reddened eyes, Ertai had already anticipated that the little girl would cry even more miserably the day after tomorrow, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
However, it was rare to see the little princess dressed in such a vibrant color. Today, she was wearing a red cheongsam, and the red color made her exposed skin appear exceptionally white, causing Ertai's Adam's apple to bob.
Today, because of Qing'er's wedding, Shen Nian even wore light makeup, which is rare for her. She is already beautiful, but with makeup on today, she attracted attention just standing there.
The little princess would surely look even more beautiful in her wedding dress...
He's already looking forward to getting married the day after tomorrow.
Chen Nian looked at Ertai, who was standing next to Yongxuan in court attire, noticed the change in Ertai's eyes, and tilted his head.
She felt that she didn't know what Ertai was thinking.
Meeting the puzzled look in his eyes, Ertai subconsciously raised his lips, his gaze still as doting and full of deep love as ever.
Chen Nian unconsciously curved her lips into a smile.
Just seeing someone I like makes me smile involuntarily.
Fu Yuxing glanced at Chen Nian in front of him, his gaze gentle yet restrained, as if he were feeling guilty, before quickly looking away.
Even though he knew the smile wasn't directed at him, his heart still raced slightly.
He was a despicable voyeur, spying on someone who didn't belong to him and was about to become someone else's. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't control his gaze. He just wanted to secretly see her, that would be enough...
Xinrong, who was behind, noticed Fu Yuxing's gaze and felt a pang of heartache.
He too was caught up in the matter of love.
But love is such a complex thing to understand; what should he do...?
"Your Majesty, the veil, the groom and his party have arrived."
Noticing that Yongxuan and his entourage had already entered the Cining Palace, the matchmaker standing to the side handed the veil in her hand to the Empress Dowager.
"Okay, Niannian, come on, let's cover Qing'er with it together."
