Chapter 339 Rebirth and Awakening: The Enemy of the Heroine in This Life 6
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and in a blink of an eye it was the seventh day of the seventh month, the Qiqiao Festival, the wedding day of He Qingwan and Xie Lingyun.
He Qingwan, who had been conferred the title of princess, naturally married with the rites of a princess, and the emperor even personally added a lot of dowry to her.
The He family has a very good reputation among the people, and Xie Lingyun is also deeply loved by the people. Besides, the princess's marriage is just like the emperor's daughter marrying off.
Whether it was because of the two newlyweds or to see the elegance of a royal marriage, people flocked to the streets to catch a glimpse.
In the princess's mansion, He Qingwan was dressing up.
She was wearing a phoenix crown and a gorgeous red make-up. She was already so beautiful that she didn't look like an ordinary person, and now she looked more like a goddess or fairy.
Mrs. Zhao looked at He Qingwan's indifferent expression in the bronze mirror and couldn't help but tear up.
She was a powerful woman and naturally saw through the emperor's intentions. It was a pity for her Zhao Zhao, who also became a pawn of imperial power.
He Qingwan looked at herself in the mirror, her black and white eyes full of curiosity, "Look, mother, I look so beautiful today."
Madam Zhao only felt more bitter in her heart. The customs in Dayu were open-minded and they were extremely tolerant towards women. Many of them got married when they were 19 or 20 years old.
In her imagination, her Zhaozhao should find a suitable husband at the age of eighteen and get married at the age of nineteen.
But now, her Zhao Zhao is going to get married at the age of fifteen...
Mrs. Zhao finally couldn't hold back her tears, she lowered her head and gently pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
He Qingwan didn't seem to understand Madam Zhao's actions. She held Madam Zhao's face and carefully wiped her tears, "Mother, why are you crying?"
Mrs. Zhao shook her head with tears in her eyes, "Mother is just, just too happy."
It might not be a bad thing to confer the title of princess on her. In this way, the boy from Xie family would not be able to bring his girls to bully her son, and the two old men from Xie family would not be able to boss her Zhao Zhao around.
"Zhao Zhao, if you have any grievances, just tell mother. Mother and father will take care of it for you."
Madam Zhao hugged He Qingwan gently and said, "Mother will always stand by you."
He Qingwan looked confused, "How could Zhao Zhao feel wronged? The Emperor uncle will definitely make the decision for Zhao Zhao, don't worry, mother."
Mrs. Zhao said nothing more, but just looked at her reluctantly, as if she would never see her again after this time.
There were sounds of joy outside, the auspicious time had arrived.
Mrs. Zhao held He Qingwan's hand tightly, her lips trembling as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing and just smiled at her.
He Qingwan was helped out of the door. He Qin was waiting outside the door. He couldn't see He Qingwan's expression through the red veil.
He bent down and carried He Qingwan on his back. He heard the happy laughter of the little girl on his back.
Even though he disliked this spoiled sister, Heqin couldn't help but feel sad. Poor Zhaozhao, she had no idea of the significance of her marriage.
The skirt was very long, and when He Qingwan sat in the bridal sedan, the skirt was completely spread on the ground, like a blooming flower.
In front of the bridal sedan, Xie Lingyun rode a tall horse, looking heroic. Behind the bridal sedan, the welcoming procession was mighty and magnificent.
Because the emperor had ordered that their wedding must be held in the princess's mansion, which meant that He Qingwan was marrying from the princess's mansion to the princess's mansion. The emperor's order could not be disobeyed, so they had no choice but to obey, so they circled the city, from the princess's mansion to the princess's mansion.
The grandeur of this wedding was no less than that of Princess Yongchang's wedding. The whole city was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and gongs and drums were beating everywhere.
On the way around the city, people came to watch one after another, and the streets and alleys were blocked. Under the pressure of so many gazes, Xie Lingyun appeared calm on the surface, but his mind was already full of thoughts.
He knew very well that there were many complicated factors behind this marriage, not just the mutual affection between him and He Qingwan. The wine that night was too strong, he was a little drunk, and he couldn't take back what he said.
No matter how open-minded the society was in Dayu, a young lady who was waiting to be married would be criticized if she was proposed to and then rejected within two days. Moreover, the marriage was granted by the emperor, so there was no way for her to regret it.
Finally, they returned to the princess's mansion. Xie Lingyun got off the horse and walked to the sedan chair. He stretched out his hand and turned the two words around in his mouth again and again. Finally, he spit them out, "Zhao Zhao..."
A fair little hand reached out from the red curtain, and the girl's charming voice rang out softly, "Brother Xie, are you happy?"
Is he happy?
Xie Lingyun was confused, but probably happy.
When a princess gets married in her palace, she worships the emperor and the heaven and earth.
He Qingwan was unusually obedient. She didn't complain at all after going through the tedious procedures. She was well-behaved and didn't say a word until she was sent to the bridal chamber.
In the consciousness space, the captured lady system just wanted to curse.
It was eating hot pot and singing with its host, when 006 suddenly appeared like a bandit, lured its host to kidnap it, and let it control its host's body to marry.
It saw the groom through the red veil and thought he was quite good-looking. It thought it could at least take some advantage of him, but it didn't expect to be pulled out of his body as soon as he was brought into the bridal chamber.
006, the host who was so beautiful that it angered both humans and gods, lazily regained control of his body.
So what does its hard work that day count for? Is it considered dedication?
In the bridal chamber, red candles were burning brightly, the candlelight flickering. Everywhere I looked, it was all bright red. He Qingwan sat by the bed, the veil on his head firmly in place.
Xie Lingyun was forced to drink, but he remained sober. He strode into the bridal chamber with his head held high. His red dress made him look less ethereal and more popular.
He saw the Hehua wine on the table at a glance, and he knew exactly what was in the wine.
He Qingwan was only fifteen years old, but he was already twenty-seven. Reason told him that he could never do such a thing.
He held the jade ruyi in his hand and lifted up He Qingwan's red veil. Under the flickering candlelight, her face was breathtakingly beautiful. Even though Xie Lingyun was well prepared, he couldn't help but lose his mind for a few breaths when he saw He Qingwan's face.
"Brother Xie, I'm so sleepy." He Qingwan's eyes began to blur. "Can I go to bed now?"
Xie Lingyun turned away his eyes and said, "Go to bed after you wash up."
After getting Xie Lingyun's approval, He Qingwan called out to the maids who were on night watch outside, "Jinse, Qiluo, come in and change clothes for me!"
Xie Lingyun turned sideways and walked behind the screen, quietly waiting for He Qingwan to wash up. Seeing that the time was almost up and He Qingwan was almost done, he stood up and walked out, "I'll go wash up myself."
After washing up in the side hall, Xie Lingyun let out a deep breath. If he didn't go on the wedding night, people would definitely talk about He Qing.
I still have to go back.
After preparing himself mentally, Xie Lingyun returned to the bridal chamber again. He Qingwan had already changed into pajamas and fallen asleep. She slept on her side on the inside, tightly wrapped in the quilt.
Xie Lingyun thought about it for a while, then took two more quilts and slept on the floor.
