In fact, the word "home" is unfamiliar to Yun Wanwan, whether in her previous life, in the modern life, or in this life.
She didn't know what kind of luck she had, that she couldn't even have a happy family after living two lives. Now Rong Chengxuan told her that he was going home, and he was naturally going back to Prince An's Mansion, which was also her and Rong Chengxuan's future home.
Yun Wanwan looked through the light outside the veil and placed her hand on Rong Chengxuan's hand in the approximate direction. Rong Chengxuan held her tightly and led Yun Wanwan out of the sedan chair.
The voice that said, "Wanwan, go home!" was naturally Rong Chengxuan's. But someone beside him said, "Your Highness, according to the rules, you should shoot the first arrow. It is absolutely against the rules not to shoot this one."
As soon as the man finished speaking, Rong Chengxuan shouted at him, "Why shoot an arrow? My princess is my equal. Even if she wants to stand over me and tell me what to do, I will accept it. If she wants to show off her power, she should show it to me, not me."
The phrase "equal" and "Even if she needs to show off her power, it should be her doing it to me, not me doing it to her" clearly expressed Rong Chengxuan's attitude and Yun Wanwan's status. Everyone who heard it was envious. To be treated as an equal by her husband, to be able to stand over him and have him dictate to her, made those women envious beyond belief.
Yun Wanwan stood up and stepped out of the sedan chair. Rong Chengxuan, wearing a wedding dress made of the same material as hers, stood beside her. Everyone was stunned!
Yun Wanwan and Rong Chengxuan are a perfect match. Now standing together, they are like the best painting in the world, which makes people very envious.
Before Yun Wanwan could stand still, she was suddenly lifted into the air and picked up horizontally by Rong Chengxuan. She was so scared that she quickly stretched out her arms to wrap around his neck, but her heart was pounding violently.
At the same time, the crowd around them also cried out in surprise. Even though the matchmaker had just been yelled at by Rong Chengxuan, she still gritted her teeth and reminded him, "What is Prince An doing? Is he going to carry the bride into the house? This is against the rules!"
Ye Lan's voice came over: "What are the rules? There have never been any rules here at the prince's place. The princess is the apple of his eye, so she deserves this hug from the prince."
Yun Wanwan was held in Rong Chengxuan's arms. She listened to the chatter of the people around her, and Ye Lan's defense of her. Her lips remained pursed. She whispered his name in Rong Chengxuan's ear: "Rong Chengxuan..."
Rong Chengxuan was stunned for a moment, then joked with Yun Wanwan, "Don't be impatient. After we pay our respects to heaven and earth, don't call me by my full name. Remember to call me husband."
The groom carried his bride into the mansion. As Rong Chengxuan began preparing for the wedding, Prince An's mansion was completely renovated inside and out to Yun Wanwan's liking. Even the music was ordered after consulting Yun Wanwan about her preferences.
Rong Chengxuan carried the person into the wedding hall, and when he put her down, the master of ceremonies had already announced the official start of the wedding ceremony.
Rong Chengxuan placed Yun Wanwan back on the ground. The three maids who had been following him immediately came forward to straighten Yun Wanwan's dress. As they retreated, they heard the officiant shout, "Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
Rong Chengxuan refused Qingyao and the others' attempts to help Yun Wanwan turn around. Instead, she personally helped Yun Wanwan turn around, kneeling and kowtowing toward the outside of the hall. She followed the proper etiquette, and although such rituals had long since vanished in the 21st century, she did so with utmost sincerity.
Since neither Rong Chengxuan nor Yun Wanwan's parents were present, Rong Chengxuan simply skipped the second ceremony of paying respects to their parents. He and Yun Wanwan didn't need to pay respects to their parents, only to Heaven and Earth and each other.
Since the second bow to parents has been cancelled, after bowing to heaven and earth, the next bow will be between husband and wife.
When the officiant called out the words "husband and wife bow to each other," Yun Wanwan felt a sudden surge of holiness in her heart. She felt that this bow was the most important of all the rituals; as long as they bowed, they would be truly husband and wife.
The importance of this is almost the same as getting a marriage certificate from the Civil Affairs Bureau. It is all legal. After this ceremony, she is no longer a girl waiting to be married, but Rong Chengxuan's wife.
When Yun Wanwan bowed down, many fragments suddenly appeared in her mind, including those from her past life and this life.
This bow lasted for a long time. It was as if they were in a competition and neither of them wanted to stand up first, as if whoever stood up first would lose something. It was not until a few chuckles came from the side that Rong Chengxuan pulled Yun Wanwan to stand up straight.
The host also said the key words at the right time: "The ceremony is over! Send her to the bridal chamber."
There are still ceremonies after being sent to the bridal chamber, but the ceremony after this does not need to be performed by the master of ceremonies, but by the maids in the mansion. This heavy burden naturally falls on Nanny Su.
Nanny Su directed the bride and groom to sit along the edge of the couch, then asked the maid to tie the corners of their robes together and pour the wedding wine. Then the two of them drank the wedding wine amid various auspicious words in Prince An's mansion.
After seeing Yun Wanwan and Rong Chengxuan put down their wine glasses, Nanny Su didn't give them a break. She asked the maids to bring up plates of red dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds, and asked the two to have a bite of each. Then she said some auspicious words to them, and that was the end.
But the groom cannot lift his veil yet. He has to go out and greet the guests and toast them. The bride will sit here and wait until the wedding banquet is over and the groom returns. Only then will they enter the bridal chamber.
Before leaving, Rong Chengxuan leaned over to Yun Wanwan's ear and whispered, "I don't drink much. Please wait here for me. I'll go out and tell Ye Lan a few words. I'll toast you with a few more glasses of wine and then come back to lift your veil. I know this phoenix crown is heavy. Your neck must be tired after wearing it all day. Wait a little longer. I'll be here soon."
Upon hearing that she could finally take off the Phoenix Coronet, Yun Wanwan felt a chill in her nerves. She nodded immediately and replied, "Then please come back quickly. This Phoenix Coronet is so heavy. If I keep wearing it, my neck will be in danger."
Despite the veil, Rong Chengxuan could still sense Yun Wanwan's eagerness to remove the phoenix crown. He couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to pinch her cheek beneath the veil. "Wait, I'll be right back!"
