Chapter 1382 Princess Wedding
The eunuchs who sang the ceremony told one to another: "The princess is getting married!"
"The princess is getting married!"
…
Ling Yao, wearing a red hijab like a mandarin duck playing in the water, was waiting in the room, feeling a mixture of joy and sorrow in her heart.
Just as she was feeling uneasy, there was a sound of footsteps, followed by Qingqiu's voice: "Princess, the auspicious time has come, you can get married!"
When Ling Yao heard this, her whole body stiffened and tears welled up again.
A voice rang in my ears: "Sister, I will carry you to the sedan chair!"
It was Jing Yu's voice.
According to custom, the bride herself cannot get into the sedan, and must be carried by her brothers.
Jing Yu is the eldest son, so he should be the one to carry Ling Yao to the sedan chair, but Jing Yu is the emperor, so this matter should be left to Jing Xi or Jing Yang.
Jing Xi and Jing Yang are almost eleven years old, and they are both martial arts practitioners, so they have no problem carrying Ling Yao.
Jing Yu was personally carried into the sedan chair by Ling Yao, which also showed how much he valued Ling Yao.
Although Ling Yao felt it was inappropriate, she couldn't change someone temporarily, so she lay on Jing Yu's back.
Jing Yu's shoulders were still very thin, but Ling Yao's heart unexpectedly calmed down. It felt really good to have a family and relatives to rely on.
Jing Yu walked very steadily, and whispered as he walked: "If Master Feng bullies my sister, you must tell your brother, and your brother will definitely support your sister!"
Ling Yao felt moved in her heart and choked up: "You have the whole world on your shoulders, don't worry about me. I can't help you much, but I can't let you worry about me either."
Jing Yu said: "You just need to protect yourself and remember that you are my sister or a twin sister. I will always be your backing!"
Ling Yao was moved to tears by these words, "I know!"
The sedan chair stopped at the door of Cardamom Palace. Ling Yao got on the sedan chair. The crackling of firecrackers was deafening, followed by the sound of gongs, drums and suonas. The sedan chair trembled and began to move forward.
Ling Yao had mixed feelings in her heart. Her heart was empty and she couldn't hold back her tears.
The mighty procession left the palace gate, and the people watched the excitement happily.
Ling Yao's dowry walked at the end of the procession, so vast that one could not even see it at a glance.
It truly corresponds to the saying: Thousands of miles of good farmland, ten miles of red makeup!
The people of the capital crowded around to watch, and the whole city was in a sensation!
Feng Jinxing rode a high-headed horse and walked in the front. She was dressed in red and had a big red flower tied on her chest. Her style was outstanding and unparalleled in the world. It made many women blush and win countless fans.
There was a eunuch carrying a big basket containing copper coins and candies, and he kept throwing copious amounts of coins into the crowd, causing everyone to laugh and scramble for them.
Of course, it won't cause chaos, because the streets are full of heavily armed imperial guards, as well as plainclothes guards and secret guards. Anyone who shows signs of something wrong will be directly controlled.
The wedding team went all around the city and finally arrived at Feng Mansion.
The main door of Feng Mansion is wide open, and the door is covered with red silk and red lanterns.
Guests and people gathered in front of the door to watch the excitement, and everyone looked forward to it with joyful faces.
When the servants saw the wedding team appearing, they lit firecrackers and made a crackling sound.
Feng Jinxing glanced at the situation in front of the door, got off his horse, and returned to the wedding sedan.
Po Xi held a bow and arrow tied with red silk and handed it to Feng Jinxing and said: "Please shoot the sedan curtain and kick the sedan door!"
There is a saying in Da Ming about shooting the sedan curtain and kicking the sedan door at weddings. When the newlyweds get off the sedan and enter the husband's house, a man shoots the sedan curtain and kicks the sedan door to show off his power.
It means that he is the head of the family and is not afraid of guilt.
Because it was Ling Yao who was getting married, this procedure could not be omitted.
Feng Jinxing was also educated on the wedding etiquette before the wedding, but he felt that he did not need this procedure, so he waved his hand to Xi Po to take down the arrow.
Slowly walking to the door of the sedan chair, I calmed down my excitement, and the turmoil around me suddenly disappeared in an instant.
When you lean over, you will open the curtain of the sedan chair.
Po Xi's old face on the side turned red, "Master Feng, if you don't shoot at the sedan curtain, you have to kick the sedan!"
Feng Jinxing took the red silk from Xi Po's arms and said in a cold voice: "The eldest princess is a golden branch and jade leaf. Do you think it is necessary to show her power like this?"
Xipo knew it was useless, but the old lady explained that since the princess is getting married, she must fulfill her responsibilities and obligations as a daughter-in-law.
This is a show of force that must be given.
So, he plucked up the courage and whispered: "Master Feng, this is just a custom."
Feng Jinxing didn't seem to hear it. He knew it was useless, so why did he bother Ling Yao so much?
He stretched out his hand to lift the sedan curtain, and saw a woman sitting upright with her back straight inside. Her face was covered by a red hijab, so her face could not be seen clearly.
He reached out and stuffed one end of the red silk into her hand, "Madam, we're home, let's get off the sedan."
This call made Ling Yao blush.
She held one end of the red silk and whispered: "If you don't kick now, you won't have a chance in the future."
Feng Jinxing smiled gently and said: "Kick or not, I am the head of the family. There is no need to show off my power in public."
This is a real man! Ling Yao smiled softly and helped Qingqiu get out of the sedan.
There was a buzz of people around, and I don’t know how many people gathered around to watch the fun.
Qingqiu carefully supported her and reminded her that there was a brazier and a saddle underneath.
After crossing the saddle, he walked a long way in confusion before entering the main hall of Feng Mansion, and then worshiped Feng Jinxing like a puppet.
She was covered with a thick red hijab, and her eyes were all red, and she couldn't see anything. At this time, she wouldn't even know if someone else was worshiping her.
Ling Yao is still thinking wildly at this time!
Finally, the ceremony official sang: "The ceremony is completed! Send it to the bridal chamber!"
Ling Yao was sent to the new house, and a servant helped Ling Yao sit on the wedding bed.
There was a lot of singing, and there were several women in the new house.
As soon as Ling Yao sat down, someone said with a smile: "Third brother, quickly lift the veil and tell us to take a look at the bride!"
This should be the eldest or second sister-in-law of the Feng family.
Xi Niang in the room handed over an ebony scale wrapped with red silk and inlaid with silver horns. Feng Jinxing took it and carefully picked up the red hijab on Ling Yao's head.
Ling Yao felt her eyes suddenly light up, and she squinted her eyes for a long time before finally adapting to the light in the room.
She raised her head and saw Feng Jinxing standing in front of her.
His figure was as tall and straight as a bamboo stick, his beautiful phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, and he was looking at Ling Yao with great interest, feeling completely comfortable.
Facing his gaze, Ling Yao felt a surge of sweetness in her heart. She didn't need to pretend to be shy, her face turned red and she lowered her head naturally.
The corners of Feng Jinxing's lips were slightly raised, and a look of satisfaction and surprise flashed through his eyes.
"Oh! Third brother is so lucky. The bride is so beautiful! Just like the fairy in that painting!" A woman wearing a burgundy gown joked with a smile.
Chapter completed!
