Tianwu still had a mouthful of red braised pork in his mouth when he suddenly heard Consort Yun say this. Especially the word "home," it made him choke with emotion and unable to speak.
Home, this word was very unfamiliar to him. He had grown up in the Imperial Palace. He had one father and many mothers. Later, he became the Emperor. He had a country and a world, but he never had a home. He had married so many women into the Imperial Palace. Yes, this place was called the Imperial Palace, not home. The women in the Imperial Palace were all his. But before he met Yun Pianpian, he didn't feel that any of them were worthy of the title of "wife." Including the Empress.
The happiest days of his life were twenty years ago when he left the Imperial Palace and met Yun Pianpian in the mountain stronghold. If it wasn't for the fact that he still had to take care of the world, he really wanted to live in the mountains for the rest of his life and forever guard this woman, guarding the green mountains and clear waters.
He swallowed the red braised pork in his mouth and raised his head to look at Consort Yun. This woman still had an awkward expression and didn't care about him, but she wasn't as cold as before. She would say to him, "Was your family very poor when you were young? You ate as if your life depended on it. Weren't you afraid of choking to death? " After speaking, she personally pushed a cup of sour plums in front of him. Even though it wasn't very elegant and carried a bit of anger, it was for his own good.
Tianwu wiped his face again and chuckled. He didn't say anything. He picked up the cup of sour plums and drank a mouthful. Then, when he moved his chopsticks again, he didn't pick up the meat dishes and instead ate a lot of vegetables.
"Then I'll come home for every meal in the future." Tianwu thought happily, "Can I come home at night?"
Consort Yun didn't open her mouth and only said, "I'm used to living alone. I don't want anyone to share this quiet place with me."
Tianwu didn't insist. After all, compared to being separated for so many years, the current situation was much better. He couldn't ask for perfection all of a sudden. Thus, she nodded. "I won't come, I won't come. You can do whatever you want. I'll come over for three meals a day. Don't tire yourself out. Just let the servants cook."
Consort Yun rolled her eyes at him and didn't say anything. However, she didn't exude that cold aura anymore. She just said softly, "Ming and Heng Heng are getting married. My Ming is finally getting married …"
The bridal sedan from the south entered Jue Ping City before evening. There was a time difference between the desert and the central plains. Even in the evening, the sun was still scorching, just like in the day.
The joy didn't stop along the way. After entering Jue Ping City, the sound of firecrackers immediately rang out, mixed with the laughter of the commoners. Waves of blessings rose and fell, all the way until they reached the residence arranged by Xuan Tianming. Wang Chuan said to Feng Yu Heng outside the sedan, "Young miss, it really is lively. The commoners are all carrying baskets with things they brought from their own homes as congratulatory gifts. They say that they want to give you and His Ninth Highness as wedding gifts."
Huang Quan also said, "Although the poor don't have much money, this kind of thought is extremely valuable. Thinking back to when Jue Ping City didn't accept us, it was young miss who had the best methods, easily making them all submit. "
Feng Yu Heng covered her mouth and faintly smiled under the veil; however, how could it be easy. For the sake of recovering Jue Ping City, she had put in a lot of effort. If she made even the slightest mistake, it was possible that it would have the opposite effect. Going into battle to kill the enemy was a skill, but winning over the hearts of the people was an art!
While she was thinking, the sound of a "get off the sedan chair" came from outside. Following that, the bridal sedan chair was gently set down. It was very stable, without the slightest bit of shaking. Feng Yu Heng really did not have much experience with getting married. In her previous life, she had never gotten married. In this life, it was even more of a first. She had just heard that before the bride left the sedan, the man would display his prowess and give the bride a show of strength. He would shoot an arrow into the sedan from outside the sedan. Of course, this arrow couldn't injure the bride. Most of the arrows were wrapped in red cloth, and the groom would hit the sedan chair frame.
She had also heard that they had to step over a brazier, implying that they would burn all inauspicious things. From then on, their days would be prosperous.
In addition, in a family with parents-in-law, there would be more obstacles. Most likely, it was to let the woman know that once she married into the family, she would be a daughter-in-law. No matter how much she was doted on in her maternal family, when she came to her parents-in-law's home, she had to properly serve her man and be filial to her parents-in-law. She couldn't have the slightest bit of unfaithfulness. Even if she was separated from her maternal family, she had to devote all her thoughts to her parents-in-law.
However, her parents-in-law weren't here, so in the future, she wouldn't have to diligently fulfill her filial duties. After all, they were in the imperial palace. As a daughter-in-law, it wouldn't be good for her to always enter the palace. These obstacles could be eliminated. Feng Yu Heng thought that before women left the house, they would use silk thread to remove the hair on their faces. This meant that once they married, they would be a wife and would no longer be a young miss of the boudoir. She had always felt that this kind of action was quite painful, so she had been worried. However, she hadn't expected that even when the sedan chair had been brought to the entrance of the new residence, no one had brought up the matter of her face. Thinking about it, Xuan Tianming knew that she didn't like these common customs, so he had specially instructed her to do so!
Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, she suddenly felt the curtain of the sedan chair in front of her being lifted. It seemed that there was a person standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile. Even if she was wearing a bridal veil, she could still feel that smile. It was passionate and direct.
The girl's face blushed red and she slightly lowered her head. She heard a light chuckle from outside and that person said in a small voice: "Little girl, you know how to be shy?"
The voice naturally belonged to Xuan Tianming, but it wasn't known who said from the side: "Your Highness, according to the rules, you should shoot an arrow first."
As soon as that voice fell, Xuan Tianming reprimanded: "What arrow? I's princess must be on equal footing with I. There's no need for that show of strength. "After saying this, he reached his hand into the sedan chair," Heng Heng, give me your hand. "
The words "on equal footing" expressed the attitude of the Ninth Prince, Xuan Tianming, and also explained the status of the bride, Feng Yu Heng. Everyone who heard this was envious. To be able to be on equal footing with their husband, that was an extravagant hope that many women could only dream of!
Feng Yu Heng reached her small hand over and it was held tightly by a large hand. She stood up and got out of the sedan chair, wearing a bridal robe made from commoner's brocade as she stood next to him. Everyone was stunned by this scene! This was simply the most perfect picture in the world. It was as if all the beautiful things in the stories were all gathered in one place. There was not the slightest flaw to be found, causing everyone to clap uncontrollably, giving their blessings from the bottom of their hearts.
Feng Yu Heng heard Xuan Tiange's voice say: "My Ninth Brother is really handsome!"
She chuckled under the bridal veil, but heard Xiangrong say: "My Second Sister is really beautiful." Alright! One had a brother complex, one had a sister complex, but she had an idea of where Xiangrong would end up, but she did not know who Xuan Tiange would end up with. She hoped that she would not marry too far away! At least the sisters could still see each other often and have someone to rely on.
Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, she was suddenly lifted into the air, being carried by the man beside her. She was so frightened that she quickly reached out her arms and wrapped them around his neck, but her heart was beating very fast.
At the same time, the people around them also exclaimed, someone said: "What is His Ninth Highness doing? Is he going to carry the bride into the house? This is against the rules! "
Xuan Tiange's voice was heard once more: "What rules or not, in my Ninth Brother's place, there has never been those pesky rules. Moreover, our Feng Heng is not a normal bride, she is a woman who can go onto the battlefield and create steel, she is worthy of being carried by my Ninth Brother! "
Her words received everyone's agreement, and only then did the people of Gu Shu realise that the legendary Dashun created something called "steel", it was even better than the iron essence from Zong Sui in the past. Breaking iron essence was like cutting mud, so that thing called "steel" was actually created by Princess Ji 'an! This kind of woman was not just worthy of being carried by her husband! The women who came to attend the ceremony also thought it through, it turned out that if they wanted to be on equal footing with their husband, they would need to show their true abilities, it was not something that could be done with just a pretty face and a powerful family behind them.
Feng Yu Heng was held in Xuan Tian Ming's embrace. Hearing the people around her speak one after another, the corners of her lips were pursed up the entire time. She opened her mouth and whispered into Xuan Tianming's ear: "Thank you."
That person was startled and immediately replied: "Between us, there is no need for thanks. Heng Heng, this is what you deserve. "
The groom carried the bride into the residence. Although this was a temporary residence in Jue Ping City, for the sake of completing this wedding, it had been carefully renovated from inside out. Although it could not compare to the grandeur of the residences in the capital, nor could it compare to the exquisiteness of the small residences in Jiangnan, it was filled with the exotic atmosphere of the desert. Even the joyous music that was being played in the residence sounded very fresh, very much to Feng Yu Heng's liking.
Xuan Tianming carried her all the way to the wedding hall. When he put her down, the wedding officiator had already announced that the wedding ceremony had officially begun.
That was Xuan Tianhua's voice, it was unique in the world, as otherworldly as an immortal, yet it also seemed very sacred. Feng Yu Heng heard Xuan Tianhua shout: "First bow to the heavens and earth!"
At his side, Xuan Tian Ming helped him turn around and kneeled in the direction of the hall, kowtowing. She obeyed the etiquette and did so with great sincerity.
"Second bow to the elders."
Feng Yu Heng didn't know who to bow to because the elders weren't here, so it wasn't appropriate to bow to anyone! However, Xuan Tianming still pulled her back and turned around, kneeling in front of the hall and kowtowing.
Perhaps he had guessed the doubts in her heart, but when he stood up, she heard him whisper into her ear: "You are our three aunts."
Feng Yu Heng's heart was filled with an indescribable feeling. Bow to the elders, only he could think of this. However, in this place, only the Xu Clan, Qin Clan, and Miao Clan could be considered elders. The so-called mother's uncle was the most important. If she had to bow to them, it wouldn't be impossible. However, they were still relatives. After a woman got married, she had to bow to the in-laws' family! What's more, Xuan Tianming was a prince. For a prince to bow to his wife's maternal aunt, it was truly unheard of.
However, Xuan Tianming didn't hesitate to bow to them, and he did it willingly. Not only Feng Yu Heng, but everyone present couldn't help but admire this prince's magnanimity. They also couldn't help but envy Feng Yu Heng's importance in the Ninth Prince's heart.
After bowing to the heavens and earth, they bowed to the elders. The next bow was for the husband and wife to bow to each other.
When the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua shouted the words "husband and wife to bow to each other," Feng Yu Heng suddenly felt a sense of holiness in her heart. She felt that this bow was the most important part of this ceremony. After bowing to each other, they would truly be husband and wife. She would no longer be a girl waiting to be betrothed, but a prince's official wife. And the years and months that she had experienced as a girl flashed through her mind like a movie replaying in the future …
This bow lasted for a long time. Neither of them was willing to stand up. It wasn't until they heard laughter from beside them that Xuan Tianming pulled Feng Yu Heng to stand up straight. Xuan Tianhua also said the most important words at the right time: "The ceremony is complete! Send them to the bridal chamber. "
Feng Yu Heng's heart tightened. She could hear that the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua's voice trembled when he said the last four words …
