Greeting the dawn and proceeding at dusk.
The wedding ceremony was held at dusk. Before that, Shang Changge had to sit alone in the room where the bride rested before the ceremony.
Was Shang Changge sitting and waiting?
No, she took a nap. After waking up, she had just eaten some food that Xiao Ji had specially sent over when she was caught by her stepmother.
"Look at yourself! Can't you stand it? And you all, you're all just going along with your master's nonsense."
Shang Changge gave her a wink, and Qingyao and Zhuque understood immediately. The two lowered their heads and remained silent as they helped Shang Changge change her clothes and do her makeup again.
The Empress Dowager scolded them as she pleased, but the three of them, mistress and servants, let it go in one ear and out the other, continuing with what they were doing.
Rong Momo was devoted to her work, and she would agree with whatever the Empress Dowager said, accompanying her master who had served her all her life in performing operas.
At dusk, during the wedding ceremony.
In the hall, Shang Changge stepped in, supported by Qingyao and Zhuque. Her every step was graceful and elegant.
"lady."
Through the veil, she could vaguely see a tall, robust man walking towards her; it was Xiao Ji.
Shang Changge reached out, and Xiao Ji took her hand in his large palm, their fingers intertwined. A gentle, considerate voice sounded above her head.
"Don't be afraid, just keep moving forward, I'm here."
The double entendre was clear to Shang Changge. She smiled gently, returning Xiao Ji's hand with unreserved praise:
"My husband is so good with words."
The hall was very large and crowded.
Everyone wore smiles, whether genuine or feigned, they had to give this face whether they wanted to or not.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth—!" "Second bow to the parents—!"
In Qingyan, the bride and groom don't kneel during their wedding ceremony; instead, they perform the most traditional bowing gesture of the dynasty.
Therefore, the wedding ceremony was the same for both royalty and commoners.
"Husband and wife bow to each other—!"
After this bow, the two became husband and wife in a legitimate capacity.
Xiao Ji smiled, his smile clearly genuine.
Shang Changge felt something and the corners of her lips unconsciously curved into a smile.
She was used to Xiao Jixiao and didn't find anything unusual, but the others were quite surprised.
He stared blankly at the smiling general, as if he had seen the sun rise in the west.
Everyone has their own thoughts and feelings.
Looking at Shang Changge, who was walking hand in hand with Xiao Ji, Shang Changze felt a strange mix of emotions, an inexplicable feeling welling up inside him.
It wasn't a younger brother's blessing for his older sister, but rather an older brother's reluctance and worry about his younger sister getting married.
However, reluctance made up the majority of his feelings, and his worries seemed minimal because his sister was marrying someone like Xiao Ji.
I've had similar feelings before, but what is the cause of these feelings?
Was he also reborn like his older sister and younger brother, but unlike them, he didn't have the same luck and forgot his memories of his previous life?
But in his previous life, wasn't he also his elder sister's younger brother...?
Shang Changze couldn't figure it out. He wondered if he should talk to his older sister about his doubts after a while, and maybe she would know the answer.
Now let's talk about the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager sat in her high seat, looked at her daughter and son-in-law and smiled, feeling a sense of relief and peace that came from the fact that everything had settled down.
Meanwhile, Xiao Zhen, who was seated in the same high hall, was also present.
As a father, Xiao Zhen had waited nearly twenty-nine years for his son to finally get married, and he was already overjoyed.
Seeing her son in this state, the heavy weight on her heart finally lifted.
He was once a great general who led a large army to fight bloody battles against the enemy. And as the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father.
No one in the world understands better than him what someone like Ji'er needs most in the future.
Princess Di, with her personality, is the best choice for Ji'er and the most suitable woman to be Ji'er's wife.
The most gratifying thing is that the two children love each other, so...
Soon he will be able to leave the capital in peace and return to his deceased wife's hometown.
