Chapter 551: Old Naughty Boy
Of course you can.
Dijiang was in a very good mood today, with a faint, gentle smile always on his lips. Even though he was troubled by difficult questions before, this smile never disappeared.
At this moment, he looked at a certain bride and said with a smile: "I am not kidding you, I just recognized her."
Because he recognized the little girl, Dijiang's smile was even more smug.
He recognized the little girl among so many people!
How could he not be proud?
Dijiang glanced at everyone, came to the bride he had been staring at, stretched out his hand, led the bride to the center of the crowd, and said confidently: "This is Jiujiu."
"Why?"
Dijiang gave a reasonable explanation.
"When the fake bride, the Thirteenth Prince, walked towards me and threw himself into my arms, I observed the movements of the other brides."
"Only the bride was paying attention. She slowly raised her head, which had been nodding. Her eyes were silently looking at me through the red veil, paying attention to me." The others all wore red veils properly and sat quietly, feeling like palace maids.
Only the one he was holding hands behaved differently.
Moreover, when she stood beside him, she gave him a strong sense of familiarity.
Very intimate, different from others, no one else can give him that.
Just like when Jiujiu was standing next to him.
Dijiang looked firmly at the bride covered with a red veil in front of him, his eyes full of joy, nervousness, excitement, and sparkling. He had been looking forward to this day for a long, long time, and finally it came.
"Your Majesty Nan Guo's words make sense and can convince us."
"But, is the truth the same as you think? Everyone is curious."
"Your Majesty, please take off the red veil."
"Whether she is a princess or not depends on the facts."
Amid the doubts of the people around him, Dijiang lifted the red veil on the bride's head.
Dijiang saw the bride, dressed in gorgeous clothes, smiling at him from under the red veil. She seemed happy that he recognized her among so many brides at a glance, and seemed happy for this special day.
Her eyes were full of smiles.
But today she looks very different from her usual light makeup self.
Today, her eyebrows and features are as soft as a painting, her eyes are full of waves, as if they can speak, her small nose is straight, and her red lips are prominent. The gorgeous wedding dress makes her look exceptionally bright, and the exquisite phoenix crown adds a touch of mystery and dignity to her.
She was already very beautiful, and today she is even more beautiful.
Di Jiang watched with his pupils dilated a lot, and a long time passed without him blinking.
"She really is a princess. Your Majesty did not make a mistake." Someone sighed.
Others praised, "Your Majesty has good eyesight. He recognized it at the first sight. I was still doubting it just now. Shame on you, shame on you!"
Nan Yuanxiang looked at Dijiang and teased, "Your Majesty, are you just going to watch? Are you not going to marry her? Or, how about getting someone else?"
"No." Dijiang's voice was full of possessiveness. He covered Jiujiu with the red veil again, held Jiujiu's hand, and walked outside.
Jiujiu's small hand was held tightly by Dijiang's big hand.
Jiujiu clearly felt that there was a dense layer of fine sweat on Dijiang's palms. Brother Dijiang seemed very excited and nervous.
When going out, there is a threshold, and Dijiang keeps reminding Jiujiu in his ear, "Lift your feet, be careful, be careful."
Dijiang said this many times without getting tired of it.
The voice was so soft that Jiujiu could hear it. He crossed the threshold safely and came to the court to bid farewell to his parents, brothers, and court officials.
Originally, when Princess Xichu got married, there was no custom for her to bid farewell in the court.
The main reason is that it is too grand and solemn, and I am afraid it will be criticized.
But Jiujiu was a princess who guarded the country and a saint, and had made outstanding contributions to Western Chu. People from all walks of life in Western Chu were unwilling to treat her unfairly and wanted to give her special honors, so she bid farewell in the court.
Everyone was reluctant to leave, especially the retired emperor and the empress dowager. Although they did not shed tears due to the rules, there were sparkling tears in their eyes.
Jiujiu's brothers also looked at Jiujiu reluctantly.
Under the gaze of everyone, Jiujiu performed her farewell ceremony and was about to leave with Dijiang.
Everyone's eyes were on the two of them.
The court officials shouted their congratulations to the princess and wished her a safe and worry-free life. The scene was grand and majestic.
Only the emperor emeritus has grown old, his hair has turned white, and he has become a naughty old man.
At this moment, he was slyly saying to the eunuchs beside him: "Hurry up, get ready, prepare secretly, don't get discovered."
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty."
Jiujiu and Dijiang left. After they walked outside the court, Jiujiu got on the carriage and Dijiang rode a horse to leave the palace.
Although Jiujiu was wearing a red veil, she could see that the carriage and all the decorations on it were bright red, and the horses pulling it also wore bright red flowers. It looked very festive and energetic.
She was feeling sad at first, but because of the festive red, her mood improved a little.
"Set off."
At Dijiang's command, a long team headed out of the palace.
The people in front have already reached the palace gate, but the team at the back has not yet started moving.
Dijiang gave a large betrothal gift, and Xichu also gave a large dowry. It seemed like the two sides were competing with each other. They didn't want to keep a low profile, and they didn't want to suffer any loss, so in the end, the wedding procession was so long that you couldn't see the end of it.
I don’t know how long I walked before I finally saw the coffin at the end of the team. I finally reached the end.
It’s really a ten-mile red wedding!
The people were cheering and congratulating.
The people of Dijiang were scattering wedding candies and silver coins all over the streets. Today, the beggars had saved up enough money to lie down for a month, which showed how generous they were.
A few months later, the wedding procession arrived in the South.
Dijiang and Jiujiu held their wedding ceremony. It was also on this day that Princess Feng Yanyue of Western Chu was canonized as the queen. She had the same power as the King of the South, Dijiang, and they would rule the country together in the future.
What a noble appearance, what a favor.
The entire Southern Kingdom was discussing this matter, especially the noble ladies of the Southern Kingdom.
"If I had known that marrying His Majesty would have such benefits, I would have tried my best."
"Even if I can't be the queen, being a concubine is fine. Seeing how generous your majesty is, he won't let anyone down."
Little did people know that the reason why Dijiang gave Jiujiu all these was because it was Jiujiu, because Jiujiu deserved it, not because of Dijiang's generosity.
.
After a tiring day, Jiujiu finally returned to her and Dijiang's bedroom, sat down and took a breath.
Even though Jiujiu was quite skilled in martial arts and her physical strength was much better than that of ordinary women, she still couldn't stand the wedding process. It was too complicated and too exhausting. She had been busy from before dawn until now.
Jiujiu's eyelids were fighting. She was sitting on the bed with a red veil covering her head, waiting for Dijiang, but she was so tired that she fell asleep.
Outside the bedroom, Di Jiang arrived.
