Chapter 314 The Princess Wants Only to Show Off 10
The float paraded three times around the city, and wherever it passed, the people all gave way and saluted.
The accompanying maids in pink clothes and red belts would throw out colorful flower petals, wedding candies and copper coins as a kind of blessing. For a while, the long street was bustling with laughter and joy.
The float was empty on all four sides, with light golden embroidery curtains and a circle of beaded curtains hanging, half-covering it. A string of golden bells was hung under the eaves on each side, jingling crisply as the carriage moved forward.
Not to mention Xie Wuyou, even Mingnan had never had such an experience and found it quite novel for a moment.
205: [The customs of Dayun Dynasty are really interesting. Look at the streets, most of the people are women. The air feels much fresher.]
Mingnan couldn't help laughing.
Xie Wuyu turned to look at her, "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I'm just happy." Mingnan looked back and asked softly, "Are you tired of holding the fan all the time?"
Xie Wuyu was stunned for a moment, "Not bad."
"There's no one else in the car, put it down, we can still raise it when we get to the palace."
"How can you do this?" Xie Wuyu looked at her in surprise, "Isn't this breaking the rules?"
"Rules are dead, but people are alive." Mingnan took a look and found a secret compartment under the seat of the float. Danzhu said that he put some cakes in it for her to fill her stomach when she was hungry.
With one hand, she held onto the curtain that was blown by the wind to block her own and Xie Wuyu's figures, then quietly opened the secret compartment. There were indeed snacks inside, but they were cut into small pieces for fear that it would be inconvenient for her to eat, and there was a silver stick in the plate for her to eat with.
Mingnan's eyes lit up, and he quickly brought out the plate and said to Xie Wuyu, "Don't take the fan, let's eat something."
Xie Wuyu: "..."
He glanced around. The maids and guards naturally did not dare to look into the float. The common people were too far away and could not see anything clearly due to the noise.
With the bead curtains and gauze curtains blocking it, it should be fine, right?
His hands were indeed a little sore.
He quietly put the fan on his legs.
Moreover, he had been forced to take a bath since he got up in the morning, washing himself thoroughly from head to toe and from inside to outside, and then drying his hair and applying perfume. After a busy day, he was not allowed to eat anything except a few sips of fragrant tea to refresh himself.
I'm really hungry at this moment.
Just as he was thinking about it, his stomach growled very appropriately.
The sound was not loud, but it echoed in the float and was inevitably heard by Mingnan.
Xie Wuyu: "..."
Mingnan paused and turned to look at him.
At that moment, Xie Wuyu really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, or jump out of the car.
Just as he was thinking, Mingnan suddenly grabbed his arm and said with a forced smile, "Don't jump out of the car, it's no big deal, come on, eat."
She stepped on the gauze tent with her feet instead, and the tent could not fly up, so this place became a closed space.
She reached out, forked a piece of bean paste snack and fed it to Xie Wuyu's lips, "Ah——"
Xie Wu Yu was confused again. In the Dayun Dynasty, men always served women, and husbands served their wives. Even if the couple was in love, they would only be so intimate in private places where no one was around. But they had just gotten married. Wasn't she being a little too...
Seeing that he didn't open his mouth, Mingnan raised his eyebrows, "Don't want to eat? Then I'll eat it."
As she said this, she was about to withdraw her hand.
Xie Wuyu grabbed her wrist, moved over to take the snack from the silver stick, glanced at her, and said, "It tastes okay."
Mingnan smiled and forked a piece for himself. "Well, it's really good."
All things are difficult at the beginning, but once you start, everything else will fall into place.
Xie Wu Yu no longer worried about being seen, and he and Ming Nan took turns to share the small plate of snacks.
After eating, my empty stomach felt much better.
Mingnan put away the "evidence", loosened his feet, and the curtain fluttered up again, revealing two serious figures.
After the parade, the float stopped at the gate of the palace, and the two of them changed to the wedding sedan chair and carried it all the way to the outside of the main hall.
Mingnan helped Xie Wuyu get off the sedan chair. Xie Wuyu raised the Hehuan fan again, covering half of his face, and walked inside with Mingnan.
Both sides of the stairs were filled with guests, looking at the newlyweds with curiosity and excitement.
Mingnan and Xie Wuyu walked up the stairs step by step without looking around.
In the main hall, the emperor sat in the chief seat, with the Lord of Phoenix, who was wearing a phoenix robe, sitting next to him. Below him sat the Crown Princess and her husband, who was Xie Wuyou's eldest brother.
Further down are Mingjin and her husband Cui Qing.
At this moment, he was smiling and watching them coming.
However, the smile did not reach his eyes. Looking closely, veins were bulging on the back of his hands that were tightly gripping the armrest.
Mingnan saw her reaction and his smile deepened.
[You didn’t marry our Xie Lang, so you must be jealous, unwilling, hehe, I’ll make you angry to death. ]
Xie Wuyu: “.”
This person pretends to be serious, but in his heart he is showing off like a child.
He quietly pulled the red silk in his hand, reminding her to be more restrained and not let anyone notice anything.
Mingnan noticed it and his smile faded slightly.
Xie Wuyu didn't hear what he was thinking, so he felt relieved.
The attendant in auspicious attire stood by and shouted: "The auspicious time has arrived, let's perform the ceremony——"
"Bow to Heaven and Earth——"
With the help of Danzhu and Biqing, Mingnan and Xie Wuyu turned around and knelt down facing the vast sky and earth.
"Bow to your parents twice—"
The two of them turned around again and slowly knelt down facing the Emperor and Fengjun.
The emperor's eyes became slightly hot as he looked at Mingnan, who looked more and more like his late emperor.
Fengjun's mood was quite complicated at the moment.
On the one hand, he watched Mingnan grow up, but on the other hand, he was jealous that Mingnan would grow up and become alienated from his daughter, so he was always in a dilemma.
But today is Mingnan's big day. Seeing her and Xie Wuyu standing together, they are a perfect match.
He suddenly felt a little relieved that "my daughter has grown up".
No matter what happens in the future, at least at this moment, he is truly happy.
"The couple bows to each other——"
The two men stood up and stood facing each other.
Although the woman of Dayun Dynasty wore a phoenix crown and a bridal robe, there was no veil to cover her face. The phoenix crown was gorgeous and dazzling, and a sparkling ruby hung between her eyebrows, which set off her bright eyes and white teeth, making her look gorgeous and charming.
Xie Wuyu wore a wide-sleeved wedding gown with a red gauze embroidered with gold over it, and a small gown with pearl tassels over the gauze, which was similar to a xiapei, and was as elaborate as Mingnan's wedding dress.
According to the rules, the husband and wife bow to each other, the woman bows deeply and the man kneels.
Mingnan looked at his cumbersome clothes that dragged on the ground and silently sympathized with him for a moment.
Danzhu and Biqing stepped forward to help, and helped him kneel down. After his clothes were tidied, Xie Wuyu held the fan in both hands and looked up at Mingnan.
Ming Nanchong smiled at him and bowed deeply.
Xie Wuyu thought to himself: I'll marry her after all.
He slowly lowered his head.
The attendant said loudly: "The three bows are complete, and the marriage is decided. I wish the king and his wife a long and happy marriage!"
Guests from home and abroad congratulated together.
Mingnan accepted it with a smile. The emperor waved his hand and said, "People who have started a family should be more stable in the future. Today is your big day. Fengjun and I will not stay any longer to avoid making you feel constrained."
"Your son respectfully sends off your mother, your father—"
Mingnan and Xie Wuyu stood together and knelt to see the emperor and Fengjun off.
