Jun Lintian nodded, took her hand, and Murong Ning's hand trembled slightly, her palms sweating profusely.
Jun Lintian paused slightly and tightened his grip on her hand.
Are you nervous?
No, I wasn't nervous at all.
Why are your hands so sweaty and shaking?
That was my spit.
Junlintian: ······
Stubborn to the end, the two had already arrived in front of the bridal sedan chair while they were talking.
The crowd was drawn to the two figures. Although they couldn't see the Crown Princess's true face under the veil, her figure was stunningly beautiful, and she and the Crown Prince, who was also dressed in red wedding attire, were an indescribably perfect match.
The bright red curtain of the bridal sedan chair was pulled back, and the matchmaker said with a smile, "Your Highness, help the Crown Princess into the bridal sedan chair."
[Your Highness's Crown Princess, it's time to get into the sedan chair.]
Jun Lintian made a teasing remark, and Murong Ning glared at him through her veil.
You're asking for it.
Jun Lintian's lips curled up slightly. After Murong Ning was fully inside the bridal sedan chair, he turned around, went to the horse, and leaped onto it.
"Return to the palace."
The procession returned to the palace in a grand procession, but Prince Zhen, who was in the procession, looked around unwillingly.
What's wrong with Xiaoting? She said she was coming to see me, but where is she?
Just then, a paper airplane flew out of the teahouse window. Prince Zhen quickly caught it and looked in the direction of the teahouse.
With a slight upturn of his lips, before Wen Longting could speak, gasps of surprise rose from the side and downstairs.
"Prince Zhen looks so handsome when he smiles."
"Ah, Prince Zhen just smiled at me."
"You're talking nonsense. You were clearly smiling at me."
"You? The fat, chubby Prince Zhen would never be interested in you?"
"You little bitch, dare you say that again?"
"Oh, do you know who I am? I'm the daughter of the county magistrate! So what if I call you a fat pig?"
A crisp snap rang out from the crowd.
"You...you dare to hit me?"
"That's exactly what I'm going to do."
"······"
Wen Longting watched the commotion downstairs, her lips twitching slightly. She looked at Prince Zhen and gave him a thumbs up.
Prince Zhen was also completely taken aback. He had only smiled at Xiao Ting. What was wrong with these women?
As the procession moved further and further away, firecrackers and drums sounded simultaneously, and sixteen sedan chair bearers carried the bridal sedan chair, following behind the prince.
The crowds on both sides cheered and shouted: "Congratulations to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess on their marriage, may they have a son soon, and live a long and happy life together."
This Crown Prince is the future heir apparent of their Cangyue Kingdom. As citizens of Cangyue Kingdom, they naturally have to come out to watch and offer their blessings.
More and more people followed the wedding procession, creating a sea of people that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.
About an hour later, the wedding procession entered the palace, and the common people could only stop there and watch helplessly as the procession disappeared into the palace gates.
The procession continued walking through the palace for another half an hour before finally reaching the gate of the East Palace.
"Alight from the sedan chair."
Prince Zhen shouted behind him.
The bridal sedan chair slowly landed on the ground. The matchmaker scurried over to Jun Lintian's side, handed him the red silk, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, it's time to welcome the Crown Princess alighting from the sedan chair."
Upon hearing this, Jun Lintian dismounted, took the red silk ribbon, and walked towards the bridal sedan chair.
The matchmaker approached the bridal sedan chair: "Princess Consort, please alight from the sedan chair."
As he spoke, he slowly drew back the curtain. Jun Lintian stepped forward and placed the other end of the red silk in Murong Ning's hand, a wicked smile flashing in his eyes: "My beloved concubine, hold on tight."
Murong Ning's lips twitched slightly. This damned Jun Lintian, would he die if he didn't speak!
Under Jun Lintian's guidance, Murong Ning quickly alighted from the sedan chair.
The two sides of the East Palace gate were surrounded by palace maids and some royal nobles, envoys from the Kingdom of Jialan, envoys from the Kingdom of Western Jin, officials from noble families, merchants from noble families, and forces such as the Star Academy and the Wuji Sect.
Arriving at a brazier, Prince Zhen cleared his throat and shouted: "Jade Phoenix steps into the brazier, fierce gods and demons hide on both sides, joy descends from the sky to the blessed nest, good days are bright and prosperous."
At this moment, the Seventh Princess, Jun Buhui, came over with a bow and arrow and three red swords. "Brother and sister-in-law, shoot arrows."
Jun Lintian took the sword from Jun Buhui's hand, came behind Murong Ning, and placed the bow in front of her.
Murong Ning's body stiffened slightly.
[Second Princess, I apologize for the inconvenience, but the proper procedures cannot be skipped.]
Before Murong Ning could react, Jun Lintian grabbed her hand, and together they nocked arrows, drew back the bow, and fired three arrows at the back of the bridal sedan chair.
The two walked step by step into the main hall.
The palace maid placed the saddle in the middle of the red carpet, and Prince Zhen shouted, "Step on the saddle, and you will have good fortune and peace."
As soon as they finished speaking, the two stepped onto the saddle, and the onlookers clapped and cheered.
The palace maids on both sides held a red fan in their hands.
"Close the fan, and you'll be in harmony and happiness."
The palace maid tilted her fan forward, blocking the path of the newlyweds.
"Open the fan, let branches and leaves spread."
The palace maid unfolded her fan, and Jun Lintian and Murong Ning, holding the red silk ribbon, slowly walked forward until they stopped in front of the palace maid who was holding a basin.
"With a single scattering, the bond is forever joined."
The two took a step forward.
"Two flowers bloom in pairs."
The two took another step forward.
"Three sprinkles bring peace in all four seasons."
"Four sprinklings bring wealth and honor."
"May you have a son soon."
In the main hall, the emperor, empress, and empress dowager sat in the main seats, smiling as they watched the newlyweds not far away.
"Tian'er is finally willing to take a concubine." The Empress Dowager couldn't stop smiling.
