When the matchmaker's loud voice fell, the ministers and their families who came to the banquet fell silent and turned their heads to look outside the door.
Supported by Nanny Zhou and the palace maids, Jiang Li, dressed in gorgeous wedding clothes, walked slowly over and came into everyone's sight.
As she walked, the seductive hem of her skirt rose and fell gently with the breeze, like a blazing flame on the horizon, coming from the rolling red dust, as if to burn up all the prosperity.
The fiery red wedding dress became the most eye-catching scenery in the hall, and everything around it became Jiang Li's foil.
Chu Huaizhi stood in the center of the hall with one hand behind his back, staring at the beauty walking towards him without blinking, with a deep layer of joy and love in his eyes.
Nanny Zhou and others supported Jiang Li and came to Chu Huaizhi. At this time, the housekeeper Uncle Fu excitedly walked up to the two of them with Qianhong and handed it to Jiang Li and Chu Huaizhi.
The two of them each held one end of the red ribbon and stood side by side in the center of the hall.
All the court officials and their families looked at the two with smiles on their faces. The Regent's Palace and even the entire imperial city were filled with joy.
After Chu Huaizhi and Jiang Li held Qianhong's hands, the matchmaker beside them cleared her throat.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth——"
As the voice fell, Chu Huaizhi and Jiang Li bent down together.
"Bow to your parents twice—"
Chu Huaizhi held Jiang Li's arm and turned around with her.
"The couple bows to each other—"
At the matchmaker's shout, Chu Huaizhi and Jiang Li turned around and bowed to each other.
The moment they bent down, the corners of their mouths curled up.
The ministers also smiled at each other and looked at the scene with satisfaction.
Fate is so wonderful!
Who could have thought that His Majesty would get together with the Regent?
But the facts before them told them that all this was true.
Witnessed by everyone, Xi Po's voice was heard again.
"The ceremony is over——"
After the words fell, Chu Huaizhi and Jiang Li became husband and wife.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
The ministers bowed and offered their blessings to Jiang Li and Chu Huaizhi one after another, but among these words of blessing, not a single one was about wishing them to have a son soon.
It was no secret in the Great Yan Dynasty that the Regent had a hidden illness and had difficulty in having children. The ministers were all aware of this and would not poke at the Regent's pain points on such a happy day.
"Send her to the bridal chamber!"
After all the ministers had offered their blessings, the matchmaker shouted again.
After saying that, Nanny Zhou and the palace maid stepped forward, supported Jiang Li's arm, and led her out of the hall towards their wedding room.
After watching Jiang Li leave, it was time for the banquet to begin.
There are no king or ministers today, only friends who come to attend the wedding banquet.
Chu Huaizhi also repeatedly emphasized that there was no need to be restrained today, and that people should eat as much as they could and not go home until they were drunk.
Today is Chu Huaizhi's big day, and the ministers had already planned to get him drunk before they arrived.
I once got the Great Yan God of War drunk. How impressive it would be to tell others about it! After making up their minds, the ministers at the banquet toasted Chu Huaizhi one after another.
Chu Huaizhi accepted all the toasts from the ministers, and soon he became drunk.
The ministers became even more excited upon seeing this and continued to drink from their wine bowls!
In the end, Chu Huaizhi was so drunk that his steps were empty when he walked, and he was helped down by Fusang and Zhuli.
"Master, slow down."
Fusang and Zhuli each held Chu Huaizhi's arm and led him out of the front yard and towards the bridal chamber.
Looking at Chu Huaizhi, who was staggering and drunk and unconscious, Fusang frowned in confusion.
"Strange, the master can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, why did he get drunk so quickly today?"
Zhu Li was also surprised: "Could it be that the wine today is stronger?"
"How strong is this? Back then on the battlefield, the master drank the strongest Jiuyunchun and was fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fusang and Zhuli looked at each other and exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh no, someone is plotting against the master!"
