Yongping's eyes were red, and then he nodded.
"Four of us came here, and only three are leaving. I feel a little bit empty inside. You guys go and see me off. I'll rest in the house for a while."
"Okay, I'll go see her off."
Yongping nodded, watched Xingnan being surrounded by people and walking towards the gate, sighed with emotion, and turned back to the house.
Although Xingnan is the emperor's sister, she has watched her grow up since she was a child. She can do whatever she wants to every woman in the Nanping Palace, but she will not hurt Xingnan at all.
This is not only because she is the emperor's favorite sister, but also because she has been very popular since she was a child, and she likes her from the bottom of her heart.
Now, thinking that they would set off to return to Nanping Kingdom tomorrow, leaving her alone thousands of miles away, she felt empty in her heart.
But if you think about it, weren't they also alone when they went to Nanping Kingdom? Who cared about them at that time?
Thinking of this, she laughed at herself and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Xingnan could continue to be happy like he is now!
Xingnan was extremely excited today. Sitting in the sedan chair, she wanted to lift the curtain to see Brother Ning several times, but was stopped by the matchmaker.
The matchmaker was outside the sedan chair, carefully reminding,
"Princess Ning, before we get married and enter the bridal chamber, you cannot lift your veil. It's unlucky."
Xingnan pouted, sniffed in displeasure, and muttered to himself,
"What's so unlucky about that? We don't have these rules in Nanping Country. I just wanted to see how handsome Brother Ning is."
But the noise outside was too loud and no one heard her complaints.
Leng Yu and Luo Lan arrived at Prince Ning's Mansion early. At this time, they were sitting on the high hall, waiting for the newlyweds to come and kowtow.
Xiao Ningzi had no father or mother, so he asked the emperor and the empress to sit in the main seat, and they naturally agreed happily.
The bride's sedan chair soon arrived at Prince Ning's Mansion. After a series of entry ceremonies, little Ningzi led Xingnan with a red silk ribbon and walked directly to the front of the hall.
An official from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and, in accordance with the etiquette of a prince's marriage, had the newlyweds pay their respects to the emperor and the empress. After three bows, they sent Xingnan to the bridal chamber.
After the newlyweds have finished their wedding ceremony, the next step is the wedding banquet.
To show their importance to this marriage, Leng Yu and Luo Lan stayed to have lunch together, which made the people attending the wedding banquet look at the emperor's brother in a different light.
Everything was going according to plan, but Xingnan, who was waiting in the bridal chamber, was a little anxious.
She was called up to wash and dress before dawn in the morning, and now there is a veil on her head. Not only that, the matchmaker repeatedly reminded her that she should sit on the bed and not move before the groom lifted the veil.
Thinking that others were enjoying delicious food in the front hall while she was starving here and couldn't move, she felt wronged and depressed.
She quietly lifted the veil, and seeing that there was no one around, she simply took it off and threw it on the bed. She walked to the table, looked at the pastries on the table, and began to eat them in big mouthfuls.
She hadn't eaten anything since this morning and was really feeling a little hungry.
Just as she was wolfing down her food, the sound of a door opening was heard. She hurriedly sat back on the bed, grabbed the veil to cover her head, and swallowed the pastry in her mouth with force.
"Prince Ning, you may lift your veil now."
"I know, you guys go out."
"yes."
At Xiao Ningzi's order, the maids and servants in the room all retreated. When only the two of them were left, Xiao Ningzi used the wedding pole in his hand to lift the veil off Xingnan's head.
Xingnan closed his eyes tightly, his heart beating wildly.
The moment the veil was lifted, Xiao Ningzi saw the remaining pastry crumbs on her lips.
He shook his head helplessly and chuckled, then raised his hand to wipe it off for her.
Xingnan opened his eyes in panic and explained,
"Brother Ning, I...I was hungry, so I ate a little."
"I know you'll be hungry, so I'll lift your veil first and have someone bring you food later."
"Brother Ning, you are so kind to me."
As she said this, she stood up, went forward and hugged him.
"Brother Ning, now that we're married, can I hug you?"
Xiao Ningzi swallowed nervously, then nodded awkwardly.
"Of course...of course."
"Then...can I kiss you?"
Xiao Ningzi's face turned red at this moment.
"Well... well, let's wait... wait until tonight. Everyone... everyone is still waiting for me outside. The Emperor and Empress are also here..."
"It's just a kiss. I'm not asking you to go into the bridal chamber right now. It won't take long."
Xiao Ningzi hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned around and hugged her, looking at her while breathing heavily.
Xingnan's face also turned red to her ears at this time. She raised her pretty eyes and looked into his eyes.
Xiao Ningzi pursed her lips, slowly leaned down, placed her lips on her forehead, then slid to her nose, and finally to her pretty red lips.
He held her waist tightly with both hands and kissed her hard...
At this moment, time seemed to stop, and Xingnan suddenly burst into tears.
Xiao Ningzi stopped kissing her and looked at her in surprise.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Xingnan pursed his lips and shook his head.
"I...I'm happy, Brother Ning. I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."
Hearing her say this, he raised his hand, wiped away the tears on her face, and then said softly:
"Since you are happy, don't cry. I will take good care of you from now on and will never let you shed a single tear."
