Three days later, the wedding of Yin and Shi Xiu was scheduled at the Cathedral of Santa Maria in Florence. As a design form, the dome structure of the church was popular in almost all churches built during the Renaissance. It was inspired by ancient Rome, and its shape inherited the majestic The solemn Pantheon. However, they have significant differences. The Cathedral of Santa Maria, built in 1499, is located at the end of Via Nassa, Lugano's main street. It has an inconspicuous appearance, but inside it contains the largest Renaissance masterpiece in Switzerland. The Passion of Christ is a mural from the period, and the author of this mural, Bernardino Luini, was Leonardo da Vinci’s favorite disciple. He completed this mural with delicate brushstrokes in 1529.
Opening the two golden doors of the church, Qianxi, dressed in a pure white wedding dress, walked slowly towards the altar on the straight red carpet with the support of Shi Xiu.
There were more than a thousand large candles burning on the altar. The candles were divided into eight rows, with flowers between each row. The fragrant aroma of the purest cigarettes sprayed out from the church door, like the vortex of the ocean tide.
The man standing next to the altar is Qianxi’s future husband Yin Yingdi!
"Emperor Eagle, I will leave my daughter to you." Shi Xiu walked up to him and handed his daughter's hand into his.
Hidden under the white veil, what Qianxi feels is not happiness or heartbeat, but endless shame!
The person who led him into this holy church was not his biological father, but his patricide enemy, and even more so the devil who destroyed his family!
Nowadays, the man holding his hand is not the one he loves, let alone his future support, but another man who has fallen into the devil's trap!
"Mr. Yin Yingdi, are you convinced that this marriage is coordinated by God? Are you willing to accept Miss Shi Xiu Qianxi as your wife?"
After listening to the priest's introduction, Emperor Yin Ying nodded without any hesitation: "I do."
"God has placed you in this world, and you should take care of your wife with gentleness and patience, respect and love her, live with her alone, and build a Christian family. Respect her family as yours and do your best as a husband. The portion lasts for life. Do you promise to do this in front of God and everyone?"
"I do."
"Miss Shi Xiu Qianxi..."
The oath read by the priest echoed in her ears like a fleeting cloud, but she had no time to understand the meaning of each word, because in the end, there was only one sentence waiting for her: "I am willing..."
When Emperor Yin Ying and Qian Xi finished reading their vows to each other, all the guests present stood up, waiting for the last step of the wedding.
"I only represent God's will and declare this man and woman to be an official couple." After the priest finished his announcement, he looked at Emperor Yin Ying and Qianxi with a smile: "Now the groom and the bride exchange rings."
Turning around, he picked up a huge diamond ring from the best man's hand and looked at Qianxi with a smile: "Madam, please extend your hand."
Raising her hand, waiting for this loveless wedding ring to be bound to her hand, the bride Qianxi faced the whole wedding with a blank face, like an outsider in this wedding.
On the contrary, the groom, Emperor Yin Ying, was beaming with joy.
"Madam, it's your turn to put the ring on my hand."
Looking at his positive look, I wonder why he seems to be looking forward to this wedding? Will marrying himself be of any benefit to him?
He picked up the ring from the bridesmaid's hand and slowly put it on his ring finger. The audience instantly burst into warm applause, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...
"Now the groom may kiss your bride." The godfather started the last step of the wedding.
Emperor Yin Ying gently fiddled with the veil in front of Qianxi...
The ugly appearance of the bride in front of him made everyone present afraid of complimenting her. But he slowly moved his lips towards her...
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Suddenly, the audience burst into warm applause.
The kiss ended, and Emperor Yin Ying held Qianxi's hand tightly and walked out of the church.
Perhaps, except for Qianxi, no one knew that the kiss that promised true love at the wedding was just a "show" from an angle, and he did not actually kiss it...
