The grassland was already green. In the sunshine, a long red carpet was laid out extending from the door of the tent to a pair of wooden chairs placed not far away.
The emperor specially ordered his servants to arrange flowers and branches around the tent, trying to make the wedding scene more beautiful.
Ying Xixi, wearing a red veil on her head, went into the tent with the support of Hua Yan and sat down first. When it was almost time, she would go out of the tent and start bowing three times.
After the worship and when she is sent to the bridal chamber, does she still have to go back to this tent?
Ying Xixi was curious and asked out loud.
Tuya had slipped into the tent at some point, heard what her future sister-in-law said, and explained.
"Sister-in-law, you will indeed return to this tent after the ceremony, but you are only here to change clothes.
It's still early, you and your royal brother can play around on the grassland. We will have lunch together on the grassland at noon and in the evening.
The bonfire party will continue tonight. When it's over, you and your brother can go back to the palace and enjoy your wedding night!"
Tuya chattered.
Ying Xixi understood, "I see. So, are we going to do some free activities in the afternoon as well?"
"Yes, originally here our weddings usually start in the afternoon, and it just so happens that after the ceremony it is evening, so we can start the bonfire party.
But my father said that in order to show respect to you, my sister-in-law, we should follow the marriage procedures of Yuehua Kingdom.
I just don't know if this is the same as the marriage process in Yuehua Country, we just heard about it."
Tuya’s explanation made Ying Xixi feel warm inside.
“That’s pretty much the process.”
"That's good, sister-in-law, I'll sit with you for a while, and my brother will come over and carry you out later.
Sister-in-law, are you hungry? You can eat something first.
My brother specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare food for you."
Ying Xixi was indeed hungry, and she hadn't had a sip of water since she got up.
"I'm a little hungry, so I'll eat something."
"Okay, come on, bring some food over."
Tuya gave an order, and soon the aunt and sister-in-law began to feast on the food.
In order to make it easier to eat, Ying Xixi temporarily took off the red veil on her head.
She finally saw the whole picture of the tent.
There was a bull's head hanging on the wall of the tent, a tiger skin was spread on the couch, and the carpet on the floor also looked like some animal's fur.
But there was no fishy smell in the air.
Ying Xixi ate her food while looking inside the tent.
Most of the food at Heyi is meat-based, including grilled, fried, and stewed meat, and the flavors are mostly spicy.
Suonan was afraid that she would not be able to get used to the food, so he specially found a chef from the folk who could cook Yuehua Kingdom cuisine and brought him to the imperial kitchen to cook specifically for Ying Xixi.
Fortunately, Ying Xixi is really not picky about food. As long as it tastes good, she will eat it.
After the aunt and sister-in-law had eaten and drunk their fill, Hua Yan touched up Ying Xixi's makeup again.
Just as I put the veil back on, I heard a lot of noise and the sound of gongs and drums coming from the door.
Sonam opened the curtain and came in.
"Royal brother, you are here. Is the ceremony about to begin?"
Tuya became excited.
"It's about to begin."
Suonan walked up to Ying Xixi, who was wearing a red wedding dress and a red veil, with an excited expression.
"Xixi, let me lead you out."
Ying Xixi could only see a blurry figure through the red veil. Suonan's big hand reached out, and she reached out and held his palm.
It was only the beginning of spring, and the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, but Suonan's hands were very hot.
Ying Xixi knew without looking at him that he must be very excited at this moment.
Outside the tent, there was a MC shouting auspicious blessings, and people were beating drums and gongs. It was very lively outside.
Suonan took Ying Xixi's hand and walked across the red carpet to the emperor and empress who were already seated.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Bow to your parents twice!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
"The ceremony is over!"
"Send her to the bridal chamber!"
The emcee shouted loudly, and Suonan immediately picked up Ying Xixi and carried her sideways, striding towards the tent.
"Congratulations, His Royal Highness! Congratulations, His Royal Highness!"
"I wish you a happy marriage and a baby soon!"
.......
Ying Xixi couldn't see clearly who was around her because of her veil, but judging from the blurry figures and the noise, she knew there were many onlookers, including some people from the Heyi royal family whom she knew.
Ying Xixi was carried back to the tent by Suonan. As soon as she sat down and before she could say anything, Suonan had already lifted up her red veil impatiently, revealing her face which looked even more beautiful after she had put on careful makeup.
Suonan was stunned for a moment.
Ying Xixi looked at Suonan, who was the groom today.
The red brocade robe was held up by his body, bulging at his chest, which made his broad shoulders and narrow waist look even more prominent.
He had a face with deep features, and today he looked even more handsome with his black hair tied up high, like the men of Yuehua Country.
The newlyweds looked at each other. Before Ying Xixi blushed, Suonan blushed first.
But his wheat-colored skin didn't make the blushing noticeable.
Ying Xixi chuckled, "Suonan, you're blushing."
Sonam held her hand and smiled freely without any shyness.
"My dear, I am so happy that you finally married me!
Come, let's drink the wedding wine. I specially asked someone to replace it with rice wine that is less strong."
Suonan took the wine glass and handed it to Ying Xixi.
After they drank the wedding wine, they smiled at each other.
"My dear, can I take you to the grassland to ride horses later?
