Chapter 263 Chen Yuanshu's Wedding
"I didn't expect that our Brother Xiao would look quite presentable after tidying himself up."
A man in dark blue clothes was circling around Xiao Jing, who was wearing a red wedding dress, with his arms folded across his chest, and was saying things in amazement.
Hearing the man's obviously joking words, Xiao Jing raised his foot and kicked him.
"Hey, I didn't kick you." The man dodged nimbly with a playful smile on his face.
Xiao Jing glanced at him unhappily and lowered his hands that had just been raised horizontally. "Let's talk business, Su Ze. Can you see if there's anything wrong with me now?"
Su Ze walked up to him and patted his shoulder. "There's nothing wrong with it. He's very handsome. His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu will definitely not be able to take his eyes off him."
"Really?"
Looking at the person who was grinning so hard after hearing this, Su Ze shook his head with some disgust.
"Yes, just wait for the King of Chu to come and greet you."
After saying this, he walked to a chair nearby and sat down, crossing his legs and shaking them, looking like a dandy young man.
"Come to think of it, you've liked her for seven years, and now you can be said to have gotten what you wished for." Su Ze's tone was filled with emotion.
Xiao Jing's love for Chen Yuanshu was not love at first sight.
Under the circumstances at that time, he only felt that he had survived the disaster and was grateful to her.
It was later, when the family moved to the imperial city, that they gradually fell in love with her after hearing many stories about her and having some contact with her.
The love of his youth was overwhelming, and there were many times when he wanted to rush to her and confess his love.
But he knew that if he told her, she would definitely refuse.
She has always been a person who values family and country. When the world was not yet unified, she had no time to care about other matters of love.
He kept waiting like this, one year, two years, three years. His love did not fade with the passage of time, but instead settled down and became stronger and stronger.
But he was able to hide it.
During this period, his parents had urged him to get married as soon as possible. After urging him so many times, he finally confessed to them.
His parents were open-minded. After learning that he liked Chen Yuanshu, they remained silent for a long time.
At that time, his mother said something that he remembered for a long time.
Mother said:
"Jing'er, this road is not easy to walk. If the world is not at peace, General Chen may be busy with wars and have no time to love. Or after the world is unified, it is possible that he will choose to spend the rest of his life with another man instead of you. It is even possible that he will live alone."
"I'm not saying this to stop you from liking General Chen. I'm just telling you what you'll face if you choose this path. You'll have to bear all the consequences. If you insist on choosing this path, I won't stop you."
"If you can't be with General Chen in the future and you don't want to marry her, then adopting a child from your brother will be your way out."
At that time, he did not hesitate at all and just said that his son was unfilial.
Since then, his parents never asked about his marriage again.
It was not until more than a year ago that the world was unified and Chen Yuanshu returned to the imperial city.
He knew that his chance had come.
Under his persistence, Chen Yuanshu gradually softened her stance, and later they took the initiative to express their willingness to marry into the family.
His parents were also willing to let him marry into the family. Even when there was a hint of romance between him and Chen Yuanshu, his mother took the initiative to suggest that he marry into the family.
The King of Chu is in a high position and has great power, so there is no reason for her to marry down from his position. Besides, it is an honor for a son to marry into the King of Chu's family.
As parents, isn’t the greatest wish for their children to be happy?
Now, the wedding day has finally arrived.
Xiao Jing came back to his senses from his memories, "Yes, I finally got what I wanted."
At this time, joyful sounds came from far away, and the wedding procession arrived.
Hearing this voice, Xiao Jing's ears moved, his breathing became rapid, and he became visibly nervous.
Apparently, Su Ze had heard it too. He put his legs down from his knees, stood up, walked over to Xiao Jing, and patted his shoulder to ease his tension. "Brother, I wish you and His Royal Highness the King of Chu a happy marriage and a long-lasting love!"
After saying that, he opened the door for Xiao Jing and said, "Let's go, our Princess Chu, oh, no, it should be the Prince Chu's husband, we should go out."
Xiao Jing smiled and nodded, walked out the door, and prepared to say goodbye to his parents.
After bidding farewell to his parents, Xiao Jing walked out of the house and got into the bridal sedan, surrounded by people.
Along the way, cheers and firecrackers were heard everywhere.
There were onlookers on both sides of the road. They had seen the situation of marrying into the wife's family over the years.
But this time, it was the first time that a minister married another minister.
The people were whispering and talking among themselves.
"This Lord Xiao is actually willing to marry the King of Chu. It seems that this is true love. This is not something that ordinary people can do."
"I don't agree with what you said. The King of Chu is the first king of a different surname in An State. If the King of Chu is willing, there will definitely be many ministers willing to marry into his family."
"Hey, too."
"Whether it's a marriage or not, I think the two are a good match. The King of Chu is a great warrior, and Lord Xiao is also a handsome man. One is a scholar, the other a warrior. They are a perfect match."
The Xiao Mansion and the Prince of Chu's Mansion were not far apart. In less than half an hour, the wedding procession returned to the Prince of Chu's Mansion with music and dance.
Xiao Jing was not wearing a veil either. After walking out of the sedan chair, the moment he raised his eyes, he saw Chen Yuanshu standing in front of him.
The two looked at each other, their eyes met, and their affection flowed.
Chen Yuanshu was dressed in a wedding dress, her back straight, and she was holding a red hydrangea, with an expression of joy that could not be concealed between her eyebrows.
Seeing him come out, Chen Yuanshu walked towards her with a hydrangea.
Looking at Chen Yuanshu walking towards him, at this moment, Xiao Jing felt that the noise around him disappeared, leaving only the figure of his beloved.
"Xiao Jing, let's go to the wedding hall."
He lowered his head and looked at the hydrangea handed to him by Chen Yuanshu. He raised his hand and grasped the red satin connected to one end of the hydrangea, slowly squeezing it tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to hold Chen Yuanshu tightly.
Seeing Xiao Jing hold it tightly, Chen Yuanshu took the other end, and the two walked side by side, step by step, towards the lobby.
At this time, the hall was full of guests, all of whom were dignitaries.
The most eye-catching among them was Yun Zhi, who was sitting next to the main seat.
It is actually okay to come before or after the ceremony, but coming before the ceremony can better show respect and blessing to the subject.
She had a lot of free time during this period, as she came when Chen Yuanshu was not yet preparing to get married.
After Chen Yuanshu went to welcome the bride, Yun Zhi also chatted with the ministers about family matters, which brought the monarch and his ministers closer.
The moment Chen Yuanshu and Xiao Jing stepped into the lobby, the conversation in the lobby stopped abruptly.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the newlyweds.
Yun Zhi's gaze was the same as theirs, looking at the two people approaching.
Time flies so fast.
The girl who refused to admit defeat and complained to her about the injustices against women in the world has grown up and gotten married.
Xiao Jing and Chen Yuanshu walked to the front of the hall, and the matchmaker shouted loudly: "Bow to heaven and earth!"
The two men turned around and saluted towards the door.
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
The two turned around and bowed deeply to Yun Zhi and Chen's father and mother.
"Couple greetings!"
The two men stood facing each other, their eyes met, and they bowed deeply.
After the ceremony, Yun Zhi stood up and said, "I am very pleased that Lord Chen and Lord Xiao are happily married today. I wish you two will support each other and move forward hand in hand."
Xiao Jing and Chen Yuanshu exchanged a glance, then looked towards Yun Zhi and said in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Next, the newlyweds began to toast and the banquet officially began.
Yun Zhi didn't stay long and left the Prince Chu's Mansion shortly after the two of them got married.
The moment she walked out of the mansion, Yun Zhi looked back at the noisy scene inside.
After a moment, she smiled and turned towards the carriage without looking back.
Now, Chen Yuanshu has also ushered in her happy ending.
The love of her parents, the enviable status of a king of a different surname, and now a husband who loves her.
so good.
