The Nanyue Imperial Palace was awash in splendor and splendour. Layers of lanterns emblazoned with the Chinese character for "happiness" (happiness) in gold foil were neatly arranged throughout the palace, stretching endlessly. The radiant starlight cast a dazzling glow, illuminating everything.
When the groom appeared at the Meridian Gate, the palace was suddenly filled with the sound of gongs and drums, singing and dancing, and countless firecrackers rang out in the streets, deafening the ears.
Murong Xiao's sedan followed Qian Yeming about 50 meters behind. When she saw Qian Yeming leading the wedding procession into Wumen, her mind was once again brought back to her previous life.
Meridian Gate, the main gate of the Imperial Palace, was the place where she and Qian Yeming met their end. In her previous life, she had accompanied Murong Qingyun through the Meridian Gate, stepping on the blood of Qian Yeming's soldiers. Later, Qian Yeming was poisoned while trying to save her, and they both died tragically at the hands of Murong Qingyun.
Finally, to vent her anger, while she was already in a state of death, but her soul was still wandering in her body, she clearly heard Murong Qingyun's words: "Hang Qian Yeming and Murong Xiao at the Meridian Gate and expose their bodies for three days! I will let everyone in the world see clearly the fate of those who betray me and become my enemy!"
She looked up at the towering Meridian Gate. Three years after her last life, she and Ming had been hanged there after their deaths. In this life, several more people were destined to be hanged there, and among them, she and Ming would definitely not be among them.
Guided by Qian Yeming, Murong Xiao slowly stepped out of the bridal sedan and walked towards the Taiji Hall, the main venue of the wedding.
Today, the Taiji Hall looks particularly magnificent. On the beams and pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes, the red silk sets off the flamboyant five-clawed golden dragon, which is dazzling red.
In the main hall, Emperor Dezheng and the Empress sat high above. The Empress's face was filled with joy, while the Emperor's lips only slightly curled. Below, civil and military officials lined up, and guests from all over were beaming. It seemed a scene of prosperity and prosperity.
Murong Xiao was full of excitement and mechanically performed various actions with the help of the matchmaker. She just hoped that the scene here would be over quickly so that she could return to the Prince's Mansion as soon as possible.
After the wedding, they would officially move into the Prince's Mansion outside the palace, and the Eastern Palace would be left vacant, waiting for the next crown prince to move in. So, now she just wanted to get back to their own nest as soon as possible.
Finally, after the wedding ceremony, after Qian Yeming kept adding clothes and pretending to be sick, and amid everyone's whispers and pointing, the grand wedding procession set off again, heading for the Prince's Mansion, which was less than five kilometers away from the palace gate.
After being helped into the bridal chamber by the bridesmaid, Murong Xiao sat upright on the bridal bed. She could feel some hard bumps beneath her buttocks, likely dried fruits like red dates, cinnamon seeds, and peanuts, meant to bring good luck and happiness to the couple as they wished for a son soon.
Covered by the veil, Murong Xiao looked at the red robe leg that was getting closer and closer to her with a smile on her face. After the owner of the robe leg sat down beside her, the voice of the matchmaker sounded.
"Please, groom, lift up the veil with the wedding veil, and be happy from now on!" The bridesmaid looked at the groom, who had a pale face but a smile on his face. She knew that although the groom was in poor health, he was still very satisfied with the bride, so her voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.
Qian Yeming held the Xicheng in his hands, his hands trembling slightly. Not because of the cold, but because of excitement.
Human emotions are sometimes really weird.
