Ye Qingxue was carried to the bridal sedan chair and sat down. Yun Zhuo lowered his head, held her embroidered shoes, and positioned her feet properly so that she wouldn't lose her balance when the sedan chair bounced.
The sound of gongs and drums filled the air, and firecrackers crackled in unison.
Ye Qingxue got married just like that.
The dowry procession had already spread out along the streets of the capital, a ten-mile stretch of red bridal procession. The streets were lined with onlookers, their voices filled with envy and exclamations of amazement.
Ye Qingxue's bridal sedan chair was carried into Prince Jing's mansion in this atmosphere.
Behind her, Ji Mingwei also went out and boarded the bridal sedan chair heading to the Xuanwang Mansion.
When the bridal sedan chair passed through the long street, Kyoto was bustling with activity once again.
As dusk fell, the two couples performed their wedding rites, and the brides were each led to their respective bridal chambers. Everything went smoothly.
So much so that when Ye Qingxue sat on the wedding bed, she suddenly remembered what Yun Zhuo had said when he went to pick up the bride—"The world is spinning, it's like a dream."
It really has a strong sense of unreality.
Ye Qingxue was still covered by her veil, and all she could see was red. She couldn't help but reach out and touch around, touching many rough things on the wedding bed, such as longan, lotus seeds, and peanuts.
The meaning behind everything is so beautiful.
Tonight, she will be here to consummate her marriage with Yun Zhuo.
If they try a little harder, maybe the baby will be born tonight.
Ye Qingxue unconsciously touched her abdomen.
Pregnancy is hard; childbirth is painful; raising children is difficult... She had seen many women in the village give birth and raise children, and it was really hard.
There were even cases of women dying in childbirth...
At that time, she almost dared not think that one day she would have to face such a situation herself.
But if that child is Xiao Bao, she would go without hesitation.
However, many things remain unresolved.
Her and Yun Zhuo's identities and positions destined them to face bloodshed at any time; there was also the poison in Yun Zhuo's body; the possibility that Liu Qinghe was still alive; and the still missing Chu Xianyun.
Ye Qingxue pursed her lips tightly. If Xiao Bao were to be born into her womb at this moment, could she really protect Xiao Bao from injury and accidents?
Ye Qingxue took a deep breath, her eyes shining with determination—no matter what lay ahead, even if it cost her her life, she would never let anything happen to Xiaobao!
"What are you thinking about, Miss?" Chunqian asked softly.
The group had been staying by Ye Qingxue's side, and the atmosphere was originally very joyful and festive, but for some reason they suddenly sensed that Ye Qingxue's emotions were off.
Granny Xing reminded her, "From now on, you should call her Princess Jing."
Ye Qingxue snapped out of her reverie and said casually, "It's my first time getting married, I'm a little nervous."
After a moment's thought, Qiu Shen stepped forward and said softly, "Your Highness, I'll go out with Dong Bai to investigate now. We'll make sure that if anyone tries to take advantage of your wedding day to harm you and Prince Jing, we can easily drive them away. Don't worry tonight, just enjoy your wedding night with Prince Jing."
Ye Qingxue said, "Okay!"
She shared the same idea; the most relaxed and joyful moments are often the best times for the enemy to strike.
We must not let our guard down.
Although Yun Zhuo may have already taken precautions, there's nothing wrong with having two layers of defense.
Qiu Shen and Dong Bai went out, and at that moment, Yun Zhuo, dressed in a bright red wedding robe, came in.
He brought in a slight breeze when he entered, causing the candlelight to flicker.
After Granny Xing and the others paid their respects, they handed the prepared auspicious scales to Yun Zhuo.
Yun Zhuo picked up the wedding scale from the red tray and looked at Ye Qingxue, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Unlike usual, she always wore a blue dress, exuding a cool and aloof aura, giving people a sense of unapproachability.
Today, she is dressed in a bright red wedding gown, with a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, and sits in the bridal chamber—the bridal chamber that belongs exclusively to them.
Her wedding dress was as fiery as fire, burning brightly into his heart.
Yun Zhuo found it difficult to describe her feelings.
From the moment he left Prince Jing's residence and rode his horse to the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence, he was completely bewildered. He simply couldn't believe that he was really getting married, and that he was marrying the woman he loved.
Young people have also fantasized about what their future sweetheart will look like, but in reality, they can't imagine what she will look like in a specific way.
Only when he saw her and confirmed that it was her did he realize, oh, so this is what his sweetheart looks like!
I remember half a year ago, he was still a deposed crown prince, the Eastern Palace was filled with bloodshed, and he was on the run.
Now, however, he can finally marry the woman he loves.
This is truly unbelievable.
How can I describe this feeling?
It's as if you're floating on air, both worried about falling to the ground and greedily enjoying the moment.
Now, only a red veil separates him from Ye Qingxue. Once the veil is lifted, he can see the bride's face.
From this day forward, they will be husband and wife, a family, sharing both honor and disgrace.
Yun Zhuo's hand holding the wedding scale trembled slightly. He took a deep breath before holding the scale forward, lifting a corner of the red veil, and then slowly moving it upwards, and upwards again...
He saw the bride's smooth jawline, then her full, sensual red lips, and above that, her pert nose and her clear, bright eyes...
He saw Ye Qingxue slowly raise her eyes and meet his gaze. In that instant, Yun Zhuo's heart burned with passion.
The veil fell off, revealing her complete face. This bride before him would henceforth be his queen, his wife, Yun Zhuo's wife.
...He will protect this person with his life!
