Chapter 554 Extra Thank You Banquet (21)
Jiang Wantang was stunned for a moment when she saw the tenderness in his eyes.
Xie Zhiyan's eyes darkened slightly, and he leaned over and gently kissed her on the forehead.
Jiang Wantang's pupils widened, and before she could even react, she heard him whisper, "It's almost time, I should go..."
"Tangtang, wait for me."
After saying that, Xie Zhiyan slipped away.
Jiang Wantang stood in front of the window in a daze. She raised her hand and touched the forehead that had been kissed. She felt the skin burning hot...
A blush crept up her cool cheeks. Then, she realized what was happening and cursed in shame and anger, "Lecher!"
......
Three days later...
In the second year of Yongsheng, on the 26th day of the third month in spring, it was an auspicious day for marriage.
At three quarters past the hour of Yin, when the first rays of morning light pierced through the clouds, the entire Suzaku Street was already covered with bright red felt carpets...
The streets and treetops all over the city were hung with bright red lanterns with the word "囍" (囍) on them, making the entire imperial city seem to be immersed in a bright red joyful color.
Dozens of miles of red makeup, splendid city...
Inside and outside the imperial city, hundreds of thousands of crabapple trees blossomed overnight, filling the city with joy. The entire city was filled with red, pink, and beautiful crabapple blossoms...
The wedding procession, lacquered in vermilion and gold, stretched out along Suzaku Street, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The imperially granted imperial guards, in golden armor, lined up to lead the way, and the entire city was covered with red silk, which was dazzlingly red in the sun, causing the onlookers to exclaim in surprise.
The groom in the lead, Xie Zhiyan, rode a Zhaoye Lion horse. The snow-white steed was equipped with a golden saddle and a big red silk flower tied on the horse's forehead.
He was dressed in a bright red wedding gown with gold embroidery on the hem. His long hair was half tied up, and he wore a jade crown with long tassels. There was a cinnabar cloud pattern on his forehead, which was made of blood jade threaded through gold threads. On each side of his head hung a thin braid, the end of which was wrapped with red thread, and each braid held a red jade carved in the shape of a flame.
When the wind blew, the red jade swayed gently, making his features look picturesque, as if he were a god descending to earth.
The corners of her lips slightly raised, revealing a bit of enchanting charm, causing the onlookers to cover their faces and exclaim in surprise.
Accompanied by the resounding sounds of gongs and drums, firecrackers, and the bustling clamor that filled the capital, Xie Zhiyan rode on horseback, leading the wedding procession, slowly heading down the long streets of the capital towards the Jiang residence...
At the end of the wedding procession, there were 800 imperial guards escorting them all the way. The scene was unprecedentedly grand and spectacular.
Citizens from all over the city crowded on both sides of the streets, children chased after maids distributing wedding candies and wedding money, and there were laughter and joy everywhere.
Inside the new house, twelve blessed ladies were dressing Jiang Wantang. The oriental pearls on the filigree golden phoenix crown trembled gently, and twelve golden hairpins from the flower gods were pinned into her hair one by one, each one exquisitely crafted. As she tilted her head slightly, the golden threads trembled, like a hundred flowers blooming...
Layer upon layer of bright red embroidered wedding attire, phoenixes spread their wings on wide sleeves, a crimson shawl cascaded down, pearl necklaces jingled softly, and a jade belt adorned with gems swung around her waist. With every step, she shone with dazzling brilliance, like a goddess descending to earth, filling the room with light...
After finishing her makeup, even Mrs. Quanfu, who was used to seeing beauties, held her breath - her eyebrows were as black as ink, her lips were as red as blood, and a touch of gold powder outlined the corners of her eyes, adding a bit of nobleness and pride.
Even more amazing is the scarlet teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, which is enchanting and vivid, and reveals a captivating charm amidst her cold and arrogant demeanor...
The beauty was so stunningly beautiful that she was the most beautiful woman in the world, which made all the ladies and matchmakers exclaim in amazement.
"Beautiful, so beautiful, this is not the kind of beauty that should exist in the world..."
"Yeah, this Nine Heavens Goddess is just like that..."
"No wonder the most aloof and reserved Dali Temple Minister, who never cared about women, was so eager to marry her!"
"..."
Even Jiang Wantang, sitting in front of the bronze mirror, couldn't believe that the stunningly beautiful woman before her was actually herself?!
The wedding procession stopped at the gate of the house next to the Jiang Mansion. The people in the Jiang Mansion looked at this grand scene with cheers from the whole city and were extremely jealous and angry.
Especially Jiang Wanfu and Jiang Wanhe, their eyes were red from crying.
However, no one from the Jiang Mansion except Jiang Huaizhou was allowed to enter.
Jiang Wantang was carried to the door of the mansion by his brother Jiang Huaizhou and handed over to Xie Zhiyan personally.
Amid the joyful expressions filling the streets and the deafening noises and cheers all around, Xie Zhiyan took Jiang Wantang's hand and lifted her up into his arms.
Jiang Wantang just cried out in surprise when Xie Zhiyan's soothing voice rang in her ears. He said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here..."
He also said: "Tangtang, I'm here to take you home..."
Under the bright red wedding veil, Jiang Wantang's eyelashes trembled and her eyes turned red for a moment.
Xie Zhiyan, who was wearing a red veil, also had tears in her eyes at this moment...
A lifelong wish finally comes true.
Once again, she is finally his wife...
Afterwards, Xie Zhiyan picked her up sideways and walked towards the big red wedding sedan carried by sixteen people with a proud look on his face.
The wedding sedan chair was spacious and comfortable, and the curtains were woven with pearls strung through gold thread, making a "ding-dong" sound when the wind blew...
Accompanied by the matchmaker's loud voice: "Lift the sedan chair——!"
Suddenly, firecrackers hundreds of feet long blasted, copper bells on the eaves rang, and fireworks and cannons blared endlessly, startling birds all over the sky, as if a fairy was scattering flowers...
As the wedding sedan passed by, the people cheered and applauded in unison, the sound resounding through the heavens...
In front of the wedding sedan, Xie Zhiyan was wearing a bright red wedding dress. The sunlight poured down, and the cloud patterns embroidered with gold thread on the hem of the dress were surging like flames.
Mingming was the most arrogant, cold-blooded and decisive official, but now that he had married the girl of his dreams, he had become a handsome and proud young man in red.
From the corners of his eyes and eyebrows to his every frown and smile, he is truly unique and charming, with a charm unparalleled in the world.
As he rode his horse and led his sedan chair forward, flowers flew all over the city, and red silk served as a backdrop...
Along with the joyful sounds, the smile on Xie Zhiyan's lips never faded. The small braids made of red thread on both sides hung down by his ears, and the red jade pendants at the end swayed slightly with his low laughter, making the girls on the street blush.
When looking back at the wedding sedan, the tenderness in her eyes can make the three springs at the moment pale in comparison.
At this time, Jiang Wantang in the wedding sedan was also shocked by the grand scale of her wedding.
She didn't expect that Xie Zhiyan could achieve this in just seven days.
He said he would never let her down, and he really did everything he could to give her the best.
Xie Zhiyan’s sudden appearance seemed like a dream to her.
The wedding sedan went around the capital, with the horses stepping on the red silk. Wherever it went, there were cheers and applause, causing the onlookers to exclaim in surprise.
Bells and drums rang out across the city, fireworks and cannons roared to the sky, and the whole nation celebrated, the sound resonating for miles...
This unprecedented grand wedding will eventually become the most unforgettable happy event in the hearts of the people.
Finally, amidst the cheers and excitement, the wedding sedan stopped in front of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion...
The gate of the dignified and imposing Yong'an Marquis Mansion was already crowded with guests who came to congratulate him.
The matchmaker stood in front of the wedding sedan chair and sang in a long voice:
"Groom, please lift the curtain of the sedan chair!"
Before the matchmaker finished speaking, Xie Zhiyan had already lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.
Amidst the cheers of the streets, the handsome groom in red embraced the beautifully dressed young lady with both arms, carrying her horizontally in his arms, and walked towards the mansion with a beaming face...
