I don't know which soldier came up with the brilliant idea, but he actually diverted spring water to build a lotus pond in the backyard. At this time, the spring water was gurgling, and the lotus leaves were connected to the sky. He created a world of small bridges and flowing water in this northern desert, which was very rare.
"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!" The wedding nanny stood in front of the sedan chair, bowed to Zhong Zhiling, and said with a smile, "The auspicious time has arrived, Your Highness and Princess, please lift the curtain of the sedan chair together."
This is a custom in the northwest. The groom and the bride, one inside and one outside, lift the curtain of the sedan chair together, which means starting a new life together. It also means that men are responsible for the outside and women are responsible for the inside, and they move forward together.
At that moment, Zhong Zhiling walked slowly to the front of the sedan chair. He looked at the white and tender hand that stretched out from inside and tremblingly grasped the curtain of the sedan chair. Then he stretched out his hand and held that hand. That hand trembled even more violently. Zhong Zhiling suddenly felt a little distressed. He gently rubbed the trembling hand, again and again, trying to comfort the woman in the sedan chair who was shaking all over because of excitement.
"Bride and groom, lift the curtain of the sedan chair!" The wedding nanny looked at the incense in the incense burner on the table at the door which had burned out, and then shouted loudly with joy.
At that moment, the big bronze hand held the white and tender hand and then slowly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, revealing the beautiful face of the woman inside.
Zhong Zhiling looked at the woman sitting in the sea of red, her extremely bright and beautiful face, her full head of pigtails, and in a trance, he felt as if he had seen this scene for the first time.
Yes, more than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye, but the girl's appearance seems to have not changed at all, while he has white hair on his temples.
"What? King Pingxi doesn't plan to invite me in?" The bride in the bridal sedan smiled at Zhong Zhiling who was standing outside in a daze. She was like a blooming hibiscus, dazzling and eye-catching. But only she knew that her hands on her legs were clenched into fists, and her nails were digging into the flesh. She was very panicked and confused, afraid that when she finally arrived at Zhong Zhiling's door in the bridal sedan, Zhong Zhiling would go back on his word.
"How could it be?" Zhong Zhiling laughed dumbly, met Helanya's beautiful eyes, then bowed slightly and stretched out his hand to the person inside, "Bride, come out."
According to the marriage customs in the northwest, the groom has to help the bride into the house, which means that the two will be together for the rest of their lives.
Helan Ya looked at the bronze hand stretched out in front of her, and her nose suddenly felt sore. She was worried that she would lose her composure, so she sniffed and put her hand on the bronze hand. But the next second, Helan Ya screamed -
Zhong Zhiling actually picked her up and carried her horizontally in his arms, and walked straight into the palace gate with her in his arms regardless of anything else. Amid the jeers of the crowd and the anxious stamping of the wedding nanny, Zhong Zhiling carried her through the hall and courtyard and strode towards the backyard.
Helan Ya had never felt so dizzy before. She looked at the luxuriant flowers and trees in the garden, the exquisite carved beams and painted buildings, and the man who was so close to her. She looked at the fine lines at the corners of his eyes and the silver hair mixed with his temples. She felt like she was dreaming, but if she was dreaming, how could it be so real? She could just stretch out her hands and put her arm around the man's neck and lean on his shoulders.
"Zhong Zhiling..." When Helan Ya spoke again, her voice was choked with sobs. The backyard was very quiet. The soldiers knew their limits and were playing and making noises in the front yard, but no one dared to enter the backyard and cause trouble. So at this moment, in the huge backyard, there were only Helan Ya and Zhong Zhiling.
