Red silk flutters, gongs and drums roar, today is Su Jingyao's wedding day.
From a distance, the winding team looked like a long red dragon, stretching into the distance.
Leading the way was a group of attendants in gorgeous attire, holding various banners embroidered with exquisite patterns, fluttering in the wind.
Next came a series of gorgeously decorated carriages, each filled with a dazzling array of dowries, with boxes and baskets stacked like mountains, even inlaid with gold and silver.
The dowry in the boxes included exquisite silk brocade and countless gold and silver jewelry, each piece of which was exquisitely crafted.
There are countless jewels and jades, with round pearls, sparkling gems, and warm jadeite, which complement each other and are dazzling.
In addition to these, there are also various antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and classic books, all of which demonstrate the elegance and cultural heritage of the Shangshu Ling Su family.
The entire team moved forward slowly and orderly, and the people were all amazed at the magnificence of the ten-mile red wedding dress and the richness of the dowry.
Su Jingyao sat upright in the wedding sedan. There was no custom in the country for women to wear a red veil when they got married. Usually, they would just hold a round fan to cover their faces. Moreover, as a concubine, she did not need to perform rituals such as the couple's greetings with the prince.
The prince only needs to come to pick up the bride, and after arriving at the Eastern Palace, Su Jingyao will be carried into her bedroom.
The prince welcomed the guests in the main hall of the East Palace.
The journey was long, and Su Jingyao had too many accessories on her head, which made her feel very uncomfortable, but she had no choice but to endure it.
Su Jingyao, who was in the sedan chair, could only judge her location by the sounds from the outside world.
When the sound of gongs and drums gradually faded away, the servants carrying the sedan chair turned many turns and finally arrived at Xiyan Palace.
Supported by Miaoyun, Su Jingyao walked into the palace and sat on the wedding bed, never putting down the round fan in her hand.
This time, Su Jingyao brought the four maids Miaoyun, Miaoxia, Miaoyue and Miaoxue and Nanny Li to the East Palace. This is the benefit of the marriage granted by His Majesty. There is no limit on the woman's dowry and the number of maids she can bring with her.
After everyone had left, she gently put down her fan, her beautiful eyes moving as she carefully examined the layout of the bedroom.
The floor is covered with gorgeous and soft carpets, and the walls are hung with exquisite paintings with delicate brushstrokes and lifelike appearance.
The headboard of this wedding bed is also exquisitely carved and even inlaid with fine pearls and gems. The soft silk bedding is embroidered with exquisite patterns and feels delicate and smooth.
There is a set of exquisite tables and chairs placed by the window, and on the table is a vase filled with fresh flowers, emitting bursts of fragrance.
The entire bedroom is decorated in a festive yet elegant, gorgeous yet warm manner.
It seems that the prince has done a good job of saving face.
It’s just that the name of this palace is not nice, Xiyan?
The name of the palace of a young woman like her is actually Xiyan. It seems that the prince dislikes her very much.
Su Jingyao sat there for an unknown amount of time before she finally heard a noise coming from outside the door. She quickly picked up her round fan and covered her face.
The protagonist of tonight finally arrived.
Jun Zechen stepped into the bedroom, his handsome face without a trace of smile.
Today's wedding banquet was arranged by the emperor, and Su Jingyao is the daughter of the Shangshu and a noble lady from an aristocratic family. For the prince, even if he is reluctant, he has to accept it.
As the crown prince, although he has great power, he also has greater responsibilities.
After Jun Zechen came in, he stood in the distance and looked at Su Jingyao who was sitting quietly on the bed with complicated eyes.
The round fan obscured her face, making it difficult to see her true appearance.
All that could be seen was the dazzling pearl hairpins on the woman's head, which looked extremely luxurious. Her crimson wedding dress perfectly outlined her slender waist, showing off her beautiful figure.
The woman's hands holding the round fan were slender, long, white and tender, with a faint pink on her fingertips, which made her look pitiful and cute.
She sat with such graceful demeanor that no one could find fault with her.
Jun Zechen walked casually to Su Jingyao, his eyes calm, and nonchalantly took the round fan from her hand and threw it aside.
This sudden and disrespectful action startled Su Jingyao, and a hint of panic appeared in her eyes.
Her beautiful eyes were wide open, filled with fear after being frightened.
Her eyelashes fluttered unconsciously, like petals trembling in the wind, and the action of biting her lower lip revealed her inner tension and anxiety.
"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Her voice was soft and trembling slightly.
Jun Zechen had originally heard that the eldest daughter of the Su family was extremely beautiful, but he had been accustomed to seeing beauties since he was a child. To him, a woman's character was more important than her appearance.
After taking away the round fan, he did not expect that there was such an exquisite face underneath the fan.
She has delicate makeup, a face as rosy as cherry, lips as red as apricots, bright eyes and white teeth. She looks bright, attractive, lively and charming.
Jun Zechen's heart couldn't help but tremble.
Although he was distracted for a moment, he still maintained a stern expression.
Beautiful faces are but a fleeting dream in life, and will eventually fade with the passage of time. Even if the beauty at this moment is confusing, it will not shake his heart.
Jun Zechen came here today just to explain things to her.
"Get up." His voice was calm and low.
Su Jingyao stood up slowly, but her eyes were always on the prince's actions. Seeing that the prince was still standing, she felt a little nervous and did not dare to sit down rashly.
After hesitating for a moment, she timidly said, "Your Highness, would you like to sit down?" Her voice was so soft that it seemed as if only she could hear it.
Jun Zechen stared at her quietly for a moment, his eyes filled with scrutiny. His stern face showed no emotion, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.
The eldest daughter of the Su family is delicate and fragile, and speaks softly. Jun Zechen dislikes this kind of woman the most.
Isn't this the same temperament of the Concubine Shu in my father's palace? However, the Concubine Shu is completely different in front of my father and in front of my mother.
