Chapter 407 Entering the Bridal Chamber
Okay, that way we won't have to start a war.
Ruyi held a wine glass in the space. War? Wherever there are humans, war has never ceased.
The reason we're not going to war now is simply because the root cause of the conflict hasn't been exposed.
[With careful planning and preparation, the three stars shine in the sky.]
What night is this, to see such a good man? Oh, my dear, what a wonderful man you are!
Planning and preparing, the three stars are in the corner.
What night is this, that we meet like this? Oh, my love, what a wonderful encounter!
With careful planning, the three stars shine in the house.
What night is this, to see such a radiant one? Oh, my lord, what is such a radiant one?
【it is good! 】
As Dongfang Jin and Ruyi chatted, they glanced at their second brother and sister-in-law and saw the wedding attendant dressed in a scarlet auspicious robe.
Holding a gilded lantern, the groom leads the bride by the hand, stepping over a saddle symbolizing good fortune, and into the bridal chamber.
Andai and Yuying each carried a flower basket, following in the footsteps of the bride and groom.
Petals rained down, a symphony of roses, jasmine, and peony, their fragrance filling every inch of the air.
The children laughed and played, holding up their homemade lanterns, like a swarm of cheerful fireflies, surrounding the bride and groom as they walked.
Seeing that they had disappeared from sight, Dongfang Jin walked towards her grandmother.
Changsun Lan walked over to Cang Lingchen with a wine glass in hand and nudged him with her elbow: "Tell me, what a sensation your sister would cause if she dressed up in her finest attire."
When he first met this little girl, he noticed that Lu Yunqing's gaze towards her was strange.
Alas, we were destined to meet but not to be together.
That guy was having a great time in Ling'an County and seemed to have no intention of returning to the capital.
Who wouldn't love such a stunning beauty? It's a pity they can only admire her from afar.
Hopefully, Lu Yunqing can get over this; his love life has been quite bumpy.
My fiancée is a gold digger, and the one I finally fell for is already married.
They were just one step away. You could say they'd snatch it, but Gu Chenglin's status was even higher than his.
There are some things they can't do, but Gu Chenglin can.
This is why they are bound by their involuntary identities.
Cang Lingchen looked at his elegant younger sister, then glanced at his second brother and sister-in-law's backs, and a pang of bitterness welled up in his heart.
"She deserves a much grander wedding."
My sister is the only princess of the Cang family; her wedding shouldn't be so hasty.
Unfortunately, the younger sister didn't want to expose herself in a big way.
Thinking of his cousin's words, he sighed deeply and decided to let her be.
Perhaps this is also a form of protection.
Thinking it over, he glanced at the foreign delegations with unfriendly eyes and snorted coldly.
Changsun Lan followed his gaze and snorted coldly, "Don't worry, they don't have the same drive they had when they first arrived."
"Your sister is quite something; the things she gave us really whetted everyone's appetite."
Cang Lingchen narrowed his eyes, his gaze deep: "Yes, it reminds me of how Mo Zhentian exchanged a thousand catties of black stones for a catty of wheat seeds."
Seeing his overjoyed expression made this prince feel very pleased.
Upon hearing this, Changsun Lan also recalled that scene; their original plan was to exchange 100 jin for 1 jin.
Unexpectedly, after seeing the seeds, the person offered to exchange a thousand kilograms of "black stones" for new wheat seeds.
"Has your sister still not told you what that black stone is for?"
Cang Lingchen raised an eyebrow and glanced at Changsun Lan: "We'll make it public after those people leave."
It's wheat planting season now, and they traveled there by express courier.
Besides, those people in the west aren't as shrewd and decisive as Mo Zhentian.
Changsun Lan swirled her wine glass: "Indeed, experience is the best teacher."
Unbeknownst to them, their words were relayed to Dongfang Jin by Ruyi.
Dongfang Jin glanced at Gu Chenglin standing with Gu Yunxiao, smiled, and took a sip of wine.
…………
New house.
With a creak, the carved vermilion gate slowly closed, shutting out the noisy joyful sounds from outside.
Cang Lingxuan led Jun Qixian by the hand and stepped into the festive bridal chamber.
Her voice was filled with a happy smile: "Ah Xian, from this moment on, we are finally husband and wife."
Jun Qixian's face under the veil was slightly flushed, and she replied softly, "I am deeply grateful for Your Highness's kindness. From now on, I will always be by Your Highness's side."
"I hope Your Highness will continue to guide me in the future."
"Xian'er, from today onwards, this palace will be our home."
Cang Lingxuan's voice was low and deep, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.
The candlelight danced on his angular face, making the deep affection in his eyes even more intense.
Jun Qixian nodded slightly, her head bowed gently, and a soft reply came from under the veil: "Your Highness, I hope we can walk hand in hand in the years to come."
On the gilded candlestick, the red candles shaped like dragons and phoenixes crackled and burned, emitting a warm glow.
The exquisitely embroidered auspicious and lucky patterns on the walls and curtains are vividly and dynamically reflected.
It seemed as if it would detach from the fabric at any moment and begin to dance, adding even more auspiciousness to this grand event.
Cang Lingxuan wore a crimson wedding robe embroidered with gold-threaded python patterns, and the mutton-fat jade pendant at his waist gently tapped with each step, producing a crisp and melodious sound.
He stretched out his long, slender hand with distinct knuckles and steadily picked up the exquisitely carved jade ruyi from the table.
The dragon carvings on the ruyi scepter, with their claws outstretched, appear lifelike under the candlelight.
Cang Lingxuan's gaze was fixed on the bride, filled with tenderness and anticipation. His movements were slow and solemn as he slowly lifted the red veil.
In an instant, like a spring breeze sweeping across a lake, the bride's unparalleled beauty was revealed to him without reservation.
Jun Qixian's eyebrows are like distant mountains, resembling verdant spring hills, outlining a graceful and poetic beauty;
Her eyes, brimming with autumn waves, resembled stars fallen into a deep lake, exuding a captivating charm.
The candlelight cast a hazy golden glow on her skin, making her appear as smooth and radiant as snow, breathtakingly beautiful.
Cang Lingxuan was momentarily mesmerized by what he saw.
At this moment, two maids dressed in red walked in with small, delicate steps.
Holding the exquisite wine vessel in both hands, filled with clear and refreshing wine.
The nuptial wine.
The wine was clear and shimmered in the silver glass.
Cang Lingxuan and Jun Qixian stood facing each other, accepted the wine cups, and intertwined their arms.
"I wish to find a soulmate, and stay together until our hair turns white." Cang Lingxuan gazed into Jun Qixian's eyes, his voice firm.
Jun Qixian blushed and softly replied, "We are husband and wife, bound by our bond, and our love is unwavering."
As the liquor enters the throat, it is spicy with a hint of sweetness.
Cang Lingxuan put down his wine glass, his gaze firm: "Ah Xian, after we drink this glass, we will share joys and sorrows, and be bound together in life and death."
Jun Qixian nodded slightly, the candlelight reflecting in her eyes: "Qixian is willing to share joys and sorrows with Your Highness, and stay with you until we grow old together."
After drinking the nuptial wine, the maids quietly withdrew, leaving only the two of them in the room.
This glass of wine not only contains the sweetness of this moment, but also symbolizes the beginning of a new chapter for the two of them.
Whether the road ahead is fraught with thorns or turbulent waves, we will stick together, share both fortune and misfortune, and spend our lives together.
Cang Lingxuan took Jun Qixian's hand, walked to the dressing table, and picked up a wooden comb: "Ah Xian, let me do your makeup."
Jun Qixian sat obediently in front of the mirror, looking at Cang Lingxuan's focused expression in the mirror, and felt happy.
The tips of the wooden comb slid down the waterfall-like long hair.
Cang Lingxuan smiled, his voice tinged with tenderness: "One comb, and the troubles of time are swept away."
The second combing symbolizes a promise to stay together until old age;
The third combing symbolizes the hope for a complete and prosperous future with many children and grandchildren.
Jun Qixian's cheeks flushed, and she said coquettishly, "Your Highness, please don't say any more."
After finishing her makeup, Cang Lingxuan led Jun Qixian to the bedside, where moonlight shone through the carved window lattice onto the bed curtains.
Jun Qixian sat restlessly on the edge of the bed. Cang Lingxuan gently held her hand and said, "Qixian, don't be afraid. I will protect you from now on."
Jun Qixian looked up, and as their eyes met, love spread in the stillness.
Immediately afterwards, the two saw dried fruits such as red dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds on the wedding bed.
Scattered on festive bedding, it symbolizes the beautiful wish for many children and abundant blessings.
Cang Lingxuan gently pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Ah Xian, don't be afraid."
Under the moonlight and the night sky, the two embraced tenderly, embarking on their sweet and unknown wedding night, weaving their own beautiful dream.
