Chapter 114 The Big Wedding
Chapter 114 The Big Wedding
Time flies and it is the eighth day of the eighth month. Wan Sutong is sitting in front of the dressing table. She is not wearing makeup as usual today. She has lightly blackened eyebrows and a red plum blossom painted on her forehead. She holds a piece of rouge in her hand and purses her thin lips. Behind her, Su Qinghui holds a jade comb in her hand and is combing Wan Sutong's hair with tears in her eyes. "Comb it from beginning to end, and we will respect each other like guests. Comb it from beginning to end, and we will be happy and live together happily. Comb it from beginning to end, and we will be together forever and grow old together." Su Qinghui's tears fell at this moment. Wan Sutong turned around and hugged Su Qinghui. "Mom, I can't bear to leave you."
Su Qinghui gently stroked Wan Sutong's hair and said, "Mom can't bear to leave you either."
At this time, the matchmaker came forward with a sigh and said, "Why are you crying on the wedding day of the Prime Minister's wife? Please dress up the Prime Minister's daughter as soon as possible, so as not to miss the auspicious time."
After hearing this, Su Qinghui nodded slightly and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Then she put the pure gold phoenix crown on Wan Sutong personally. Feeling the weight on her head, Wan Sutong cried out, "It's so heavy! It must be more than ten pounds! I have the illusion that I have a bag of rice on my head!"
The dull atmosphere was broken by these words. Su Qinghui burst out laughing and took the red veil from the maid. Su Qinghui chuckled at the exquisite embroidery on the veil. It turned out that her daughter had such a talent.
Su Qinghui sighed and covered Wan Sutong with a red veil. Wan Sutong exclaimed in surprise again, "Ah, it's dark now!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present burst into laughter. 0533 whispered in Wan Sutong's ear, "It's not that the host has gone dark, but that he has put on the veil. Look down, and be careful of your steps."
Soon, a sedan chair with eight bearers arrived outside the villa. Zhao Sinian got off the horse and walked into the villa happily. Wan Sutong's heart beat like a drum when she heard the footsteps in the yard. She couldn't believe that she was marrying a man she had only met three times.
As Wan Sutong's thoughts gradually drifted away, her father's voice came from her side, with a tone of expectation and reluctance, "Nannan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wan Sutong felt someone holding her up. She was startled and subconsciously hugged the person's neck.
Zhao Sinian's lips curled slightly, and he was impatient. He carried Wan Sutong and walked out of the courtyard quickly. After leaving the villa, he put Wan Sutong in the sedan chair.
Zhao Sinian chuckled twice, "You will be my wife from now on." The laughter was dark and possessive, and Wan Sutong's scalp tingled. She wanted to turn into a long whip and beat Zhao Sinian hard, but she held back and asked gently, "Really?"
Zhao Sinian did not answer but walked quickly towards the tall horse in the distance and jumped on it. Zhao Sinian laughed loudly, with the momentum of a mountain bully who robbed a woman. "Lift the sedan!"
Watching the bridal sedan gradually moving away with the beating of gongs and drums, Su Qinghui and Wan Yanzhong hugged each other and burst into tears, "Yanzhong! What if Tongtong was wronged in Prince Lin's Mansion?"
Wan Yanzhong was crying so hard at the moment, but he also hurried to comfort Su Qinghui, "No, there is no one in the entire Lin Palace who is more powerful than our daughter except the Lin Wang. Besides, our daughter can poison people, so what's there to be afraid of!"
Su Qinghui quickly covered Wan Yanzhong's mouth when she heard this and said, "You can't say that. If something really happens to the prince, the first person to be suspected will be our Tongtong."
At this time, the sedan chair circled Lan'an City, and when it arrived in front of the palace, drums and music sounded. Zhao Sinian got off the horse and walked to the sedan chair with his head held high. He put his left hand behind his back, bent down slightly, and put his right hand into the sedan chair.
Wan Sutong looked at the hand that reached into the bridal sedan, and her heart suddenly surged with anticipation. "System, please help me see who it is." Then she stretched out her left hand and placed it on the slender and warm palm.
0533 flew out of the bridal sedan and came to Zhao Sinian and waved, "Host, it's Zhao Sinian."
Wan Sutong sighed silently after hearing this, and then followed Zhao Sinian's steps step by step into the wedding hall, only to see Zhao Jinyao and Lin Shuangrong sitting in the main seats, both with smiles on their faces but with their own ulterior motives in their hearts.
As soon as the newlyweds entered the wedding hall, the matchmaker shouted loudly, "The auspicious time has arrived! Bow to heaven and earth!"
Wan Sutong and Zhao Sinian turned around and bowed to the door at the same time.
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
The two slowly turned around and bowed deeply to Zhao Jinyao and Lin Shuangrong who were sitting in the main seats.
Zhao Jinyao nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, okay."
Lin Shuangrong looked at Zhao Sinian and smiled gently, then a cold look flashed in her eyes.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!" Wan Sutong's heart tightened when she heard this, and all her expectations turned into disappointment. "I guess Jinghua won't come." Thinking of this, Wan Sutong slowly turned around and bowed to Zhao Sinian face to face.
The matchmaker smiled widely and said, "The ceremony is over! Send you to the bridal chamber!" As soon as she finished speaking, all the guests cheered in unison. Soon, a maid came to Wan Sutong's side and helped her walk to the bridal chamber which had already been decorated.
The maid helped Wan Sutong sit on the bed and then knelt down to salute. "Princess, the princess asked me to tell you that the prince often speaks without thinking after drinking, but the princess will prepare a bowl of sobering soup for the prince before he enters the bridal chamber so you don't have to worry."
Wan Sutong hummed in a flat tone, "Thank the princess for me. What's your name?"
"My name is Chuntao. What do you want from the Crown Prince?" Wan Sutong chuckled and said, "Nothing, you can go down."
Chun Tao nodded slightly and said, "I will be waiting outside the door. If the Crown Prince's wife has anything to say, please let me know."
After the maid left, Wan Sutong slowly lifted her veil and looked at the wedding wine on the table. Not far away, red dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds were piled up on the plate, and finally a double happiness character was placed on the top.
Wan Sutong's stomach was rumbling at the moment. She kept swallowing her saliva as she looked at the four kinds of dried fruits in the distance. She wanted to pick one up to eat, but she was afraid that if she took one, the whole plate would fall apart.
Wan Sutong looked at 0533 and said weakly, "System, I am starving to death. I have a crown on my head that is as big as a bag of rice. I feel like I am about to die."
0533 laughed after hearing this and said, "This system just found a strawberry-flavored donut that costs ten points. Do you want to eat it, host?"
Wan Sutong's eyes lit up instantly after hearing this, "Okay, okay!"
At this time, Zhao Sinian was holding a wine glass in the front hall, and his body was shaking a little. But looking at the guests who were still waiting for him to toast, Zhao Sinian frowned slightly and drank the wine in the glass. Then he walked to the next table. When the guests saw Zhao Sinian slowly approaching, they quickly picked up the wine glass and stood up, "Congratulations, His Royal Highness."
After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Sinian's face was flushed and he was staggering. Seeing this, Lin Shuangrong hurried forward to support Zhao Sinian and said, "Sinian, don't be stubborn. Even if today is your wedding, you are still a child. No one will bother with you. Su Tong is still waiting for you in the bridal chamber. Go back and rest early."
At this moment, Zhao Sinian could no longer tell who was in front of him, but from the tone of her voice he guessed it was Lin Shuangrong. Zhao Sinian half-closed his eyes and nodded, "Thank you, mother."
Lin Shuangrong smiled when she saw this, then took the hangover soup from the maid and handed it to Zhao Sinian. "Mother knows that you must be feeling uncomfortable right now, so I specially asked the kitchen to prepare some hangover soup. You will feel much better after drinking it."
