Seeing the girl sitting quietly by the bed in her wedding dress, with a red veil on her head, I suddenly felt a little awkward.
Shi Lingci joked, "Luckily I came today so I could carry Zhen-mei-mei out the door. Otherwise, with you so nervous, I was really worried you would drop my sister."
In Da Yuan, if the bride's family has no brothers to carry her out of the house, the groom will personally lead her out.
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Ye Zhen was touched. Her cousin had come all this way not only to join in the fun, but also to carry her out of the house himself.
Xie Tingzhou seemed to have a telepathic connection with Ye Zhen, sensing her emotions, and bowed earnestly to Shi Lingci, saying, "Tingzhou thanks my elder brother-in-law."
The crowd started to cheer again.
This interruption made me less nervous than before.
Xie Tingzhou walked to Ye Zhen's side and reached out his hand to her, "Zhen'er, come with me to bid farewell to our elders."
This is the procedure of the Great Wei.
Before leaving home, a bride must bow to each of her parents and elders. However, in Da Yuan, the bride only needs to bow once before being picked up by the groom.
Xie Tingzhou followed the procedures of the Great Wei Dynasty, which pleased Shi Yan, but his eyes were full of reluctance.
My daughter, whom I finally reunited with, is getting married before I've even had a chance to spend enough time with her.
He clasped their hands together and said with tears in his eyes, "Take care."
Shi Yu's eyes were filled with reluctance. When Xie Tingzhou led Ye Zhen to kneel in front of him, he personally helped his great-granddaughter up, saying, "Zhenbao, don't wrong yourself. Your great-grandfather will take care of everything."
"good."
Ye Zhen's voice was also choked with sobs. Her relatives had traveled thousands of miles to see her off on her wedding day. Even her grandparents, who were still in the aftermath of the wedding in another world and could not return in time, had her great-grandparents bring her dowry.
Many elders from the Great Wei Dynasty, whom she had never met, also contributed 108 loads of dowry.
These are all expressions of their love and blessings for her. Ye Zhen has never felt such a happy moment before. She has so many loving family members.
But the more it was like this, the more reluctant I was to part with it, and tears inevitably streamed down my face.
Wei Qingyan reached out and gently wiped away her tears. "My dear, the road ahead will be smooth. We'll always be there for you."
At this time, Ye Zhen did not know the true meaning of these words, and only took them as her great-grandmother's comforting words.
Led by Xie Tingzhou, she bid farewell to the rest of her family members one by one, and was finally carried onto the bridal sedan chair by Shi Lingci.
The Shi family, including Shi Yan and his wife, all went to the palace. They were going to personally escort the bride, while the general's mansion's social obligations were left to Yin Jiu Niang and her husband, as well as Madam Wang and her husband.
Upon learning the news, the emperor hurriedly led his entourage to the palace gate to welcome him.
The people of the capital were witnessing such a grand wedding for the first time, and the officials of Dayuan felt a strange fear of Ye Zhen.
An official muttered, "The Shi family mobilized almost their entire force today; it's practically a declaration of their power. From now on, if Da Yuan dares to bully the Crown Princess, they will crush Da Yuan."
Does the Crown Prince still have any authority over his husband?
Surely Ye Zhen won't have the final say in the future.
The officials nearby looked at him as if he were a fool and quickly moved three zhang away from him.
With such a powerful backer, Ye Zhen wouldn't dare to speak ill of him behind his back. His in-laws were influential and willing to help him out. Wasn't this the best thing Da Yuan could dream of?
With the future empress's dowry far exceeding the national treasury, who would covet power?
Besides, the young couple is doing very well.
This minor incident was drowned out by everyone's blessings.
The wedding went smoothly. The newlyweds were led to their bridal chamber, and the two matchmakers, all smiles, led them through the rituals of lifting the veils and the nuptial cup before coaxing everyone to disperse.
When only the newlyweds were left in the room, Xie Tingzhou stared at Ye Zhen with a silly grin, "Zhen'er, you look so beautiful today."
Ye Zhen had never seen him look so silly before, and burst out laughing, "Am I not good-looking usually?"
This is a life-or-death question!
Xie Tingzhou quickly snapped out of his daze, "You've always looked good, but in my heart you're the most beautiful."
Ye Zhen looked at him and said, "You're handsome too!"
The two then burst into laughter; Ye Zhen had just cried, and her eyes were still red.
Xie Tingzhou comforted her, "Don't be sad. If you miss them, I'll go back with you to see them anytime, or I can bring them to live with us."
Ye Zhen nodded. She wanted to repay her family's love with happiness so that they wouldn't have to worry.
Xie Tingzhou removed her phoenix crown and held her in his arms, saying, "It feels like I've been waiting for this for so long, and now I'm finally bringing you home as my wife."
Ye Zhenzhen, from this day forward, no matter how time changes or how the world transforms, we will walk hand in hand until we grow old together.
He threaded his fingers through hers, their fingers intertwined tightly.
That's a long time, two lifetimes.
Ye Zhen tightened his grip, rested his head on her shoulder, and felt a sweet happiness in his heart.
After two lifetimes, they finally achieved their happy ending and tied the knot.
What Ye Zhen could see was the man's Adam's apple. She could clearly see it moving, as if there was longing in his eyes.
Ye Zhen became bold and suddenly kissed him.
From now on, this man will belong to her.
The kiss was like a wildfire, and they only let go of each other when someone outside urged Xie Tingzhou to go out and greet the guests.
"Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
Xie Tingzhou was very confident and added, "I'll have someone bring food over, don't worry, I won't get drunk."
Ye Zhen's father-in-law couldn't bear to see him suffer, so he definitely wouldn't let him get drunk.
As expected, Shi Yan asked Shi Lingci and Lou Shisan to drink on Xie Tingzhou's behalf.
The drunk man was reckless, and Shi Yan was worried that his daughter would suffer. The thought of having to worry about this made Shi Yan feel both heartbroken and distressed.
The guests didn't dare to really urge him to drink excessively, and Xie Tingzhou indeed returned to the bridal chamber with a clear head.
Ye Zhen had already washed up with the help of her maid. Seeing this, Xie Tingzhou quickly dismissed the servants and took a thorough bath himself.
Then, full of anticipation, he carried her to the bed and covered her completely. He then heard Ye Zhen ask in a tight voice, "Xie Azhao, can you do it?"
