When the Marquis of Wu'an got married, the wedding procession stretched for dozens of miles, with the wedding carriages extending from one end of the street to the other.
It was even more grand than when Chen Jinheng first married Gu Qianluo.
A gentle spring breeze swept by, and the red silk ribbons above the wedding procession unfurled in the wind, appearing from afar like a fiery red ocean.
The person leading the procession was none other than Marquis Wu'an, Chen Jinheng.
Today, he was dressed in a bright red wedding robe, wearing a jade crown, his eyes were like stars, and a gentle smile was often on his lips.
Chen Jinheng's tall and slender figure sat atop the white horse, exuding an air of elegance and imposing stature.
The grand wedding procession did not head towards the Gu residence, but instead stopped in front of Gu Zijun's Lotus Garden gate.
Seeing that Gu Zijun had been waiting at the door for a long time, Chen Jinheng quickly dismounted and stepped forward, beaming with joy.
"Brother-in-law, is Luo'er ready? May I go in and take her home?"
Gu Zijun's lips curled up slightly, and he smiled with lowered brows.
"General Chen, don't be in a hurry. Luo'er is still getting ready. Why don't you compose a poem to urge her to get ready?"
Chen Jinran frowned, her eyes darkened, and a bitter feeling welled up in her heart.
He was born into a military family; he was good at wielding swords and spears, but not so good at writing.
After a moment of silence, his eyes lit up, he looked up at the sky with a wry smile, and said,
"Years have passed, and I search for you year after year to meet you again. I wonder if my beauty's makeup is complete, so that my dreams of you will not be in vain."
As a simple poem urging him to get ready was completed, a satisfied expression appeared in Gu Zijun's cool eyes.
Gu Zijun quickly wrote the poem urging the bride to get married on a paper fan and handed it to the matchmaker, instructing her to write it down.
"Go! Show it to the young lady."
"Alright! This old servant will go right away!"
Watching the matchmaker's departing figure, Chen Jinheng's tense brows finally began to relax.
Across the street not far from the Lotus Garden, a large crowd of onlookers had already gathered. Everyone was very curious about the Marquis of Wu'an's wedding and was discussing it animatedly.
"Which young lady do you think has won the favor of Marquis Wu'an?"
"I heard she's the sect leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect of the Free and Unfettered Sect, a girl who looks remarkably like his ex-wife!"
"Sigh, it seems that this Chen Jinheng is also a devoted lover."
He observed a year of mourning for his ex-wife, and then married a woman who bore a striking resemblance to her.
"Indeed! That ex-wife is truly enviable! What other man in the world is as devoted as him?"
"I heard that the eldest son of the Gu family even recognized this woman, who resembles his sister, as his sworn sister."
Today, the bride is leaving her home from Lotus Garden!
A moment later, the matchmaker rushed over, laughing and joking.
"Congratulations, groom! The bride is all dressed up and waiting for you to come in and fetch her!"
Chen Jinheng was startled, a glint of light appearing in his cold eyes. A faint smile spread across his face as he softly said, "Thank you!"
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
At this moment, Gu Qianluo was dressed in a fiery red wedding gown, adorned with a phoenix coronet and embroidered robes, her long hair flowing naturally down her back.
She had gold floral decorations at the corners of her eyes, and a light blush on her fair cheeks. With just a touch of makeup, she looked exceptionally charming and beautiful.
Chen Jinheng slowly walked towards her, his eyes welling up with tears, and called out softly,
"Luo'er, I've come to take you home!"
Gu Qianluo's heart skipped a beat. The gentle look in Chen Jinheng's eyes kept flashing through her mind, filling her with warmth. A faint smile appeared on her lips.
"You've arrived."
"Yes, my wife, I've come to take you home."
"I remember, it was my elder brother who saw me off at my wedding last time. Why did you come in person this time?"
"My wife deserves to be personally greeted by me to show my sincerity."
Chen Jinheng smiled faintly, then knelt on one knee in front of Gu Qianluo with his back to her.
"Come, let me carry you to the sedan chair!"
"Um."
However, the wedding procession soon returned to the Marquis of Wu'an's residence.
Chen Jinheng easily jumped off the horse, quickly walked to the front of the carriage, picked the person up horizontally, and slowly walked towards the main hall.
Gu Qianluo anxiously lifted the veil, looked around, and asked in confusion,
"Chen Jinheng, are we skipping the wedding ceremony this time? Where are we going?"
Chen Jinheng smiled, lowered his brows, raised his head, and lifted the beauty's red veil, asking softly,
"My wife and I have already completed the wedding ceremony once, so let's skip it this time."
"My lady, you've been waiting for me in the lotus garden for so long, are you hungry?"
"Hmm! I am a little hungry."
Gu Qianlu nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on her lips.
Chen Jinheng lowered her head, and the gentle light fell on her cheeks.
Recalling her playful antics as she waved chicken bones in front of him on their first wedding day, a joyful smile crept across his face.
"It's good that you're hungry. Your father and mother went out early this morning to buy some fresh meat to welcome you home."
He even cooked a whole table of dishes for you himself!
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianluo's brow twitched slightly, and she asked in surprise,
"They cooked for me themselves? If that's the case, why haven't I seen the old Marquis and his wife since I came in?"
Chen Jinheng's eyes flickered as he carefully placed the person in front of the dining table and explained in a deep voice,
"The Marquis and his wife felt they had wronged you and were afraid you wouldn't like to see them, so they left first."
Gu Qianluo narrowed her eyes slightly and instructed Han Ying, who was not far from the door, "Han Ying! Go and invite your old Marquis and Madam over for dinner."
Upon hearing this, Han Ying frowned and quickly stepped forward to consult Chen Jinheng.
"My lord, my master and mistress have instructed me to inform you that they have already set off for an excursion to Jiaozhou and will not be returning to the capital anytime soon."
