Chapter 225: End of the Ceremony
In her previous life, Chen Tang married Xie Guimo. Because it was a wedding for good fortune and they were in a hurry, many steps were simplified. Normally, she would have to go around Kyoto, but in her previous life, she was directly carried from Pingyuan Marquis Mansion to Jingyang Prince Mansion.
The time spent in the bridal sedan was reduced by more than half, and a lot of suffering was also saved. In this life, one must follow the rules and regulations and not miss a single step.
There was an ice basin in the sedan chair, so it wasn't that hot, but the Phoenix Coronet pressing on her neck was really sore. Chen Tang tried to take the Phoenix Coronet off, but failed, so she had to give up.
Chen Tang sat in the bridal sedan, feeling its bumps. She never knew she could be so patient.
When the wedding procession was halfway there, suddenly, there was a crackling sound, which scared Shen Tang.
Are we at Prince Jingyang’s Palace already?
Chen Tang lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and asked, "Are we there yet?"
Gingko shook her head. "It's so early. I don't know who deliberately threw firecrackers into the wedding procession."
Ginkgo was a little worried that if her dowry was dropped, it would be a huge loss.
Chen Tang frowned. There were not many people in Kyoto who had the guts to bring trouble upon Prince Jingyang's Palace. Chen Tang suspected it had something to do with Shen Xi. The last time she married Prince Qi, she lost a lot of her dowry, and the Marquis's Palace did not give her any more.
Xie Guimo rode over and asked, "Are you not frightened?"
Shen Tang shook his head, "I'm fine."
Xie Guimo felt a little relieved. It was okay if the things fell, but he just hoped that his wife wouldn't be scared.
Chen Qi has already gone to investigate who is causing the trouble.
The wedding procession continued to move forward. Soon, Chen Qi came back and said, "We caught a few people who threw firecrackers and have taken them away for interrogation. Fortunately, the soldiers who carried the dowry today were soldiers in the army and were not frightened, so the dowry of the Crown Prince's wife was not damaged."
Chen Tang's dowry was quite a lot. It was 30% more than the dowry prepared for Chen Xi by the public. There was also the dowry left by Jiang before her death. Chen Tang wanted to give half of it to her eldest brother Xiao Huan, but Xiao Huan refused. There was also the dowry given by the Jiang family before. It was difficult for the servants in the Marquis' Mansion to deliver all this. They had to be prepared to prevent the noble families from sending dowry and they could not find anyone to carry the dowry. It would be embarrassing for the adults.
Shen Sui picked a few hundred soldiers from his command, dressed them in servants' clothes, and no one could tell them apart.
Both sides of the street were filled with people who were watching the excitement. Seeing the firecrackers being thrown down from the roofs, many people broke into a cold sweat for Chen Tang. It was obvious that someone was up to no good and was going to mess up the wedding procession. Once the chaos started, there was no telling how much damage would be incurred.
As a result, the firecrackers exploded with a crackling sound, and the wedding procession was only startled for a moment, but they quickly calmed down and continued walking on the firecrackers as if the firecrackers did not exist.
This scene made everyone admire it very much, and then they started to wonder if it was intentional, just like the overturning of the sedan chair, which was a deliberate act to show their power.
The only problem during the wedding reception was that the ice basin that had been prepared melted, the temperature in the bridal sedan became hot, and the wedding dress was so thick and heavy that it was very hot.
Just when Shen Tang was about to give up, Yin Xing's voice came, "Miss, we will arrive at Prince Jingyang's Mansion in another quarter of an hour."
It’s finally here.
If she doesn't do it soon, she will become the first bride in Kyoto to suffer from heat stroke.
The wedding date of Princess Roujia and my eldest brother should be set in the next few days. I must remember to remind my eldest brother to change the ice basin for Princess Roujia during the wedding.
After persisting for a while, Ginkgo said, "Miss, we have seen the Jingyang Palace."
The Prince of Jingyang's mansion was magnificent. It took a full half cup of tea for the bridal sedan to stop in front of the gate. The sedan stopped amid the sound of firecrackers and suona.
After being jolted for so long, even when the sedan stopped, it felt like people were still being jolted.
Xie Guimo got off his horse, and the master of ceremonies shouted, "The groom shoots the bridal sedan, and the bride is welcomed down from the sedan!"
The servant brought over the arrows, Xie Guimo picked them up, and grabbed three more arrows.
Three arrows were fired at once.
Shoot steadily onto the bridal sedan.
Xie Guimo threw the bow to the servant, and without even waiting for the bridesmaid to ask, he went over to lift the curtain of the sedan chair.
Chen Tang was sitting in the bridal sedan when she saw a bony hand reaching out. She blushed and held her hand out.
The hand with slightly heavy calluses held her soft wrist and led her out.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, she was picked up sideways.
The poor matchmaker was about to hand over the red silk, but was met with disappointment. The matchmaker had to handle at least a hundred weddings a year, and she had never seen a groom who loved his bride so much that he was unwilling to let the bride take even one more step on the road.
The emcee was also a little confused, but fortunately he reacted quickly and was able to adapt to the situation, saying auspicious words one after another.
Cross the fire pot.
Saddle up.
These are things that Chen Tang should deal with on his own.
Xie Guimo held her and stepped over, his brocade robe suppressing the flames.
Seeing this, Yun Yi turned her head and looked at Chu Yi who was watching the ceremony with her. Chu Yi looked innocent, "We were not familiar with each other at that time. I had the intention but not the courage..."
Yun Yi's face turned red. Seeing her elder brother, Young Master Yun, looking at her, Yun Yi quickly took the maid to move to another place.
Seeing Xiao Xun, Lu Li and the others looking at him, Chu Yi's face was burning with anger. He wanted to run away, but was stopped by Lu Li. "You didn't go to Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion to be a roadblocker. I thought you wouldn't come to Jingyang Prince's Mansion to drink at Brother Gui Mo's wedding."
What happened that day was too embarrassing. Chu Yi has been too embarrassed to go out these past few days. If today wasn't Xie Guimo's wedding day and he had to come, he really didn't know when to hide.
Thinking about it makes me want to crawl into the ground.
I have never done such a shameful thing in my entire life.
Lu Li laughed and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just embarrassing, you just need to get used to it."
Chu Yi, "..."
If you don't know how to comfort others, you don't have to comfort them.
Chu Yi looked straight ahead as he watched Xie Guimo put Chen Tang down and took the wedding silk handed to him by the matchmaker.
Bow to heaven and earth.
Bow twice to your parents.
The couple bowed to each other.
"The ceremony is over, send her to the bridal chamber—"
The newlyweds were escorted out of the wedding hall and into their new home by everyone's presence.
After they left, Lu Li patted Chu Yi on the shoulder and asked him, "What does it feel like to be married?"
What is it like to be married?
Chu Yi thought about it.
It can only be understood but not expressed in words.
Chu Yi looked around and whispered, "Don't say that I didn't remind you. It feels so good to be married. I regret not getting married earlier."
Xiao Xun patted Chu Yi's other shoulder and said, "You have to tell me clearly, is it better to marry Miss Yun, or just any girl?"
Young Master Yun was also there and looked over immediately.
Seeing the look from his brother-in-law, Chu Yi immediately said, "Do I even need to ask? Of course, it's the wife I chose myself."
Young Master Yun looked away.
Chu Yi pretended to strangle Xiao Xun's neck, "You and I are brothers, and you deliberately tricked me."
Xiao Xun asked, "Is getting married really that interesting?"
Chu Yi said, "Anyway, I have reminded you. If you don't believe it, you will be the ones who regret it."
These words made Xiao Xun also feel a little eager to make a move.
They are of similar age. Now Chu Yi and Xie Guimo are married, and Xiao Huan will be married soon. He and Lu Li haven't even got engaged yet, so it's time for them to pay more attention.
Lu Li said, "Let's go, ask Brother Gui Mo to come over for a drink. It will be too late, and we won't be in the bridal chamber."
Chu Yi didn't want to take it personally, but he really wanted to hit someone.
I feel that if I don't silence the truth, it will sooner or later become known to everyone.
