Chapter 13 The emperor wishes her a happy wedding! He wants to snatch her away again?
Chen Hai immediately came forward holding a box.
Xie Junlin opened the box, revealing a pair of exquisite and beautiful jade ruyi.
There is a piece of calligraphy on the jade ruyi.
Xie Junlin picked up the iron painting and silver hook filled with imperial and domineering words, and told Xiao Lingzhao, "I personally wrote a few words for you and your wife - a happy marriage, a long-lasting happiness. The jade ruyi symbolizes good luck and happiness. I hope that you two can have good luck and happiness, and live happily ever after."
Xiao Lingzhao stared at the words in a daze. After he realized what was happening, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude.
"I bow to thank the emperor for his great grace! With the blessing of the emperor's dragon energy, my wife and I will surely live happily together for a hundred years and live a happy life!"
Xie Junlin put the box in his hand and told him to stand up.
Looking at the sun, Xie Junlin asked, "Is the auspicious time here?"
The old general and Xiao Lingzhao looked at each other.
The auspicious time has not yet arrived.
But the emperor is very busy and it is impossible for him to wait here forever.
Then, let’s get married right away.
Xiao Lingzhao bowed and replied, "With Your Majesty watching the ceremony, all evil will retreat, and every moment is auspicious."
Thank you for your smile.
Xiao Lingzhao turned around and told the guard Xiao Yun, "Get ready immediately and invite Madam to come here for worship."
Xiao Yun took the order and left.
The Xiao family did not dare to neglect the emperor, and hurriedly invited him warmly, "Your Majesty, please take a seat——"
Xie Junlin was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes dimmed slightly.
Let him take the seat?
Xiao Lingzhao was not his son, so how could he sit on the throne and let the newlyweds come to pay respect to him? He was a man without a son, so why should he join in such a commotion and make himself even more sad?
Xie Junlin hid the bitterness in his heart, adjusted his sleeves with his slender fingers, and calmly declined, "No need, the newlyweds pay their respects to their parents, I will sit beside them today, and the seat of honor should be left to the old general and his wife."
How dare the old general?
If the emperor sat down below and he and his wife sat up above, he would probably be frightened awake in his dreams.
His eyes rolled, and he said quickly, "Your Majesty, you also said that you held Ling Zhao in your arms when he was just born. You watched him grow up, and you can be considered his elder. You are both a monarch and an elder, so why not let the young couple pay their respects to you? In my opinion, how about this? Your Majesty and I sit on the right, and Your Majesty sit on the left. Let's take our seats together and watch them pay their respects."
Xie Junlin didn't want to steal the show, but he also knew that if he insisted on not taking the seat, the old general would probably feel uneasy.
He said, "Well, since the old general has invited me, I will take the seat with him."
The old general and his wife were relieved.
The three of them sat down on the upper seats, one on each side.
Xiao Lingzhao happily bowed to the three people and couldn't wait to go out to meet his bride.
Not long after walking out, Xiao Lingzhao saw the matchmaker holding a red silk ribbon, leading the bride, and walking towards this side surrounded by servants.
Xiao Lingzhao stopped and stared at the bride.
He already knew that Yuan Wei was very beautiful, but he didn't expect that after dressing up carefully, Yuan Wei could be even more breathtakingly beautiful.
Her hair was covered with pearls and jade, and she was bright, charming, and beautiful, with extraordinary grace and elegance.
His eyes were full of amazement.
When he thought that such a beautiful and kind girl was his tonight and would be with him for the rest of her life, he, who was naturally cold by nature, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and smile sweetly.
Shen Yuanwei also saw her handsome and charming fiancé Xiao Lingzhao from afar.
Seeing Xiao Lingzhao smile, she smiled too.
At the side, the matchmaker poked the fan in her hand and whispered, "Bride, stop laughing and take the fan in your hand to cover your face."
Shen Yuanwei smiled, and immediately grasped the gorgeous round fan with both hands, covering half of her face with it, leaving only a pair of bright eyes looking at Xiao Lingzhao.
The tassels on the round fan swayed gently, and she, with her face half covered, suddenly looked lively.
The matchmaker smiled and said, "Bride, you should cover your whole face."
Shen Yuanwei raised the fan again and covered her eyes.
However, when she heard Xiao Lingzhao's footsteps coming towards her, she couldn't help but move the fan down, looked at Xiao Lingzhao with her beautiful eyes, and said softly -
"Forget it, I won't cover my eyes. If I cover my eyes, I won't be able to see my husband... What if such a good husband of mine is secretly replaced by someone? What should I do then?"
Xiao Lingzhao paused.
He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yuanwei.
He thought Yuan Wei married him just to save him and didn't like him that much, but would Yuan Wei actually worry that he would be secretly replaced by someone?
He was so shy that his ears turned slightly red, but his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles.
He hid the sweetness in his heart, stared at Shen Yuanwei, and said softly, "Then don't cover your eyes. I will walk in front of you so that you can always see me. You have to keep a close eye on me and don't let anyone secretly replace your husband, okay?"
Shen Yuanwei nodded gently, "Okay."
Seeing that the young couple couldn't live without each other, the matchmaker stopped talking.
The fanning ceremony is just a ritual. The most important thing is that the couple themselves are happy.
She handed the red silk to Xiao Lingzhao with a smile. Xiao Lingzhao held one end of the red silk tightly and walked in front to lead the way. Shen Yuanwei held the other end of the red silk and followed behind.
After walking a few steps, Shen Yuanwei thought of the emperor who had suddenly arrived, and asked softly, "What is the emperor here for?"
Xiao Lingzhao replied in a low voice, "He came to the wedding and gave us gifts."
Shen Yuanwei was curious, "What gift is it?"
Xiao Lingzhao said, "A pair of jade ruyi, and a calligraphy written by the emperor himself."
Without waiting for Shen Yuanwei to speak, Xiao Lingzhao smiled and told his curious wife, "There are eight words written on the calligraphy: a happy marriage, a long-lasting and harmonious marriage."
When Shen Yuanwei heard these eight words, she seemed to be thinking about something.
It seems that she is too suspicious.
The emperor probably didn't sense her good physique for pregnancy and didn't come for her. He came because he valued the general's sincerity and came to give gifts and attend the wedding.
Then she felt relieved.
As long as the emperor couldn't sense her miraculous fertility, she could live a peaceful and happy life with her husband, the god of war, for a few years. As for other things, they could wait for another ten or eight years...
but……
This gift from the emperor... made her want to laugh.
Now the emperor hopes that she and Xiao Lingzhao will live happily together forever. If the emperor wants to take her away from Xiao Lingzhao at that time, wouldn’t that be contradictory and self-contradictory?
When the emperor was trying to seize his minister's wife, she and Xiao Lingzhao took out the words "Happy marriage and a long and happy life" written by the emperor himself today. Would the emperor be embarrassed?
Shen Yuanwei hid her evil smile and followed Xiao Lingzhao forward as if nothing had happened.
Soon, they arrived at the front hall which was decorated as a wedding hall.
Xiao Lingzhao walked in front and was the first to step over the threshold.
As he walked away, he turned back and whispered, "The threshold is a bit high, be careful."
In the hall.
Xie Junlin, who was sitting on the high hall, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Xiao Lingzhao being so gentle and considerate.
Ling Zhao has always been a cold and taciturn general who is not interested in women. He has known Ling Zhao for many years and has never seen Ling Zhao be so gentle and considerate to any woman.
Could it be that this bride is really the sweetheart that Ling Zhao has been secretly admiring for several years?
He became more and more curious about what kind of stunning beauty this bride was that could make Xiao Lingzhao so infatuated with her.
Under Xie Junlin's gaze, the bride in a bright red wedding dress slowly appeared outside the door.
The sky was filled with gorgeous sunset glow behind her. She stood there against the light, holding a gorgeous fan in her slender fingers, gracefully covering half of her beautiful face.
She slowly raised her eyes, and looked up at the hall with her clear and bright eyes.
