Chapter 224, Red Makeup 27
With no other option, under Lin Shizi's constant urging, they finally chose the nearest auspicious day.
With Lin Yanzhi eagerly awaiting the event, the three letters and six rites were quickly completed.
The ninth day of the third month of the following year is an auspicious day for marriage.
Red ribbons were hung on the trees all over the city, making it look like a red ocean.
Everywhere was filled with a festive and joyous atmosphere.
The true ten-mile-long red bridal procession was prepared by Xingchen Xingmeng, by Lin Yanzhi, by the emperor, by the concubines, and by the crown prince...
In short, the orderly, bustling wedding procession stretched as far as the eye could see, complete with the sounds of banging and clanging.
The streets were teeming with people, all craning their necks to watch this once-in-a-century wedding ceremony.
The wedding of the Princess Protector of the Nation was quite a grand affair.
Look at that group of maids in the procession, who keep scattering flower petals, candies, copper coins, silver peanuts, and silver ingots as they walk. They really are scattering as they go.
Like a money-giving boy.
The crowd surged forward, scrambling to grab the items while chanting auspicious phrases.
May you have a son soon. May you grow old together in harmony. May you be forever united in heart and soul, and live a long and happy life together.
……
Fortunately, there were guards maintaining order everywhere along the roadside.
Outside the Princess's residence, Zhen'er, along with her servants, distributed wedding candies and red envelopes to the onlookers, while firecrackers exploded deafeningly.
Finally, Lin Yanzhi successfully married into the princess's household.
At this moment, the old emperor and Prince Lin Nan sat together in the high hall. The old emperor looked at Prince Lin Nan with a mocking expression, "How does it feel to marry off your son?"
Yao Mingzhao, who was in a complicated mood, paused slightly when he heard this. His father, the emperor, really didn't miss the chance to make things worse.
Lin Nanwang... Lin Nanwang's heart was also complicated.
He never expected his son to be so eager to get married, acting like a young woman desperate to marry, wanting to choose the closest date, as if he wanted to empty the entire Lin Nan Prince's Mansion.
Sigh, better not to say anything.
However, at least his son got married and someone took him in, and it was such an outstanding girl. He was extremely satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
Unlike the crown prince, who is unwanted by anyone.
Ahem, but we must save face for the Emperor and the Crown Prince.
Meeting the emperor's mocking gaze and listening to the lively firecrackers outside, a smile appeared on Lin Nanwang's lips.
"Your Majesty, I feel quite good. I have always regretted not having a daughter, but now I can experience the feeling of marrying off a daughter, which can be considered a fulfillment. It's also good that my son is married off, so that troublesome son won't always be causing me trouble at home."
The old emperor scoffed inwardly, "This old fellow is just being stubborn!"
Before anyone could say anything, a burst of firecrackers went off, and the newlyweds entered the house.
Today's wedding is definitely something everyone is watching.
All the civil and military officials, along with their families, came to offer generous gifts to celebrate.
Putting aside the fact that this is the wedding of Princess Ming'an, who was personally appointed by His Majesty as the Protector of the Nation, and the heir of Prince Linnan, the fact that His Majesty himself presided over the wedding, and that His Majesty the Emperor who had come out of the palace was sitting in the high hall, along with Prince Linnan and the Crown Prince, means that they could not be left out.
This is a great opportunity to shine in front of His Majesty and the future His Majesty.
Even if one cannot show their face, being able to see the Emperor's countenance once is a fortunate thing that one can boast about for a long time!
"Worship heaven and earth."
"May Heaven and Earth unite them in harmony, may flowers bloom and the moon be full, and may dragons and phoenixes bring good fortune."
"bye."
"rise."
"Two thanks to the high hall."
May your parents enjoy boundless happiness and longevity, like the evergreen pine of the Southern Mountain.
"bye."
"rise."
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
"When husband and wife are of one mind, their love will last forever."
"bye."
"rise."
"It's done!"
"Send to the bridal chamber."
-
The wedding ceremony was quite elaborate. Although it had been simplified as much as possible, the wedding of the two of them—one a princess personally appointed by His Majesty, and the other the heir apparent of the Prince of Linnan—was jointly prepared by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory. Some royal rules and rituals could not be disregarded.
Even with her cultivation level, Ziyue couldn't help feeling mentally exhausted after the wedding, from morning till night.
Getting married in ancient times was a hassle.
Inside the bridal chamber—
After everyone had left, leaving only Ziyue and Lin Yanzhi in the room, Lin Yanzhi held Ziyue's hand tightly and asked, "Yueyue, are we really getting married?"
Ziyue shook the hand that was holding hers, and pinched his cheek with her other hand. "What do you think?"
Lin Yanzhi felt a slight stinging sensation on his cheek, and couldn't help but grin. It was true.
He did indeed marry the woman he fell in love with at first sight.
At this moment, Lin Yanzhi had no eyes for anyone else but the person he loved.
She wore a phoenix crown on her head, inlaid with countless pearls and gems, dazzling and eye-catching, but even more dazzling were her exquisite, jade-like face and her glass-like eyes.
"Is the phoenix crown very heavy? Shall I help you remove your jewelry first?"
He knew how heavy that phoenix crown was. Although Yueyue looked breathtakingly beautiful in her finery, he still felt sorry for her, knowing she must be exhausted from wearing such a heavy crown all day.
Lin Yanzhi took Ziyue's hand and helped her sit in front of the dressing mirror, carefully disassembling the phoenix crown.
Every movement was so gentle, as if afraid of hurting her.
As each hairpin and ornament was removed, the glossy black hair danced in his hands, as if scratching at his heart. His heart stirred slightly, and when the phoenix crown was removed, Lin Yanzhi couldn't help but lower his head and plant a deep kiss on that black hair.
After a long while, Lin Yanzhi picked up Ziyue and walked to the table. Instead of putting her down, he held her in his arms, picked up a bowl of lotus seed soup from the table, and fed Ziyue little by little.
After Ziyue finished eating, "Yueyue, are you full?"
Ziyue nodded.
Lin Yanzhi's eyes darkened as he stared at those rosy, slightly moist lips, his voice a little hoarse, "Alright, Yueyue is full, it's my turn."
He then leaned down and pressed his lips to those red lips that had been captivating his mind since earlier.
Ziyue narrowed her beautiful big eyes. Ah, this little puppy couldn't resist.
She tilted her head slightly and responded passionately to his kiss.
Feeling her response, Lin Yanzhi became even more excited.
He picked her up and carried her to the bedside. The two remained close together, their lips and teeth intertwined, never separating.
Their auras gradually merged into one.
The red bed curtains fell, and clothes were thrown out one by one from inside the curtains—red wedding attire and white undergarments—gradually piling up together.
The red candles flickered, filling the room with an enchanting atmosphere...
