This ten-mile red wedding will surely be remembered for many years, just like the wedding of the daughter of the Duke of Anguo Mansion back then. However, it is different. The daughter of the Hua family is of slightly inferior status, but her importance is completely incomparable. The reason why Prince Ling dared to treat his original wife like that is firstly because the Duke of Anguo Mansion had handed over power for many years and had been gradually declining in the court, but the Hua family was not like that.
Putting aside the background of the Hua family itself, the identity of the daughter of the Hua family as the emperor's tutor cannot be underestimated. This is no longer a matter of the regent's family, but a matter concerning the entire royal family. If the regent treats the tutor well, it will be fine. If not, the charge of mistreating a meritorious official will make the royal family lose the support of the people.
Many people also believed that the Regent could not have been unaware of what they all saw clearly, but he still insisted on marrying her. It was said that the two of them had already prayed to heaven and earth when the Tutor was seriously ill, which showed that the Regent must have loved the Tutor very much, otherwise how could he put himself in such a situation.
I wonder how many young women think that the Regent, who is so affectionate and caring, is a role model for men.
The Regent, who served as a role model, had already put on a bright red groom's suit with a tense expression. Those who didn't know him might think that he was unhappy about being a groom. Those who had been with him for a long time naturally knew clearly that their master was nervous.
Chen Qing turned his back and smiled secretly, God have mercy on him, he actually got to meet such a master in this life, hahahaha!
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Gu Yanxi hurried out to greet him. He was a little surprised that the emperor had come a little early and there was still some time before the auspicious time.
The emperor quickly stopped the groom from kneeling and said with a smile, "Brother Yan Xi and Sister Hua are the most important today."
The words "Brother Yanxi" and "Sister Hua" made Gu Yanxi raise his head. This title... had not appeared for a long time, and it should not appear again.
As if knowing what he was thinking, the Emperor raised his lips, "Grand Tutor once said that one day I will be strong enough to change the rules. I cannot do that now, but on a day like today, I am just here to drink a glass of wedding wine as a younger brother. Who can find fault with me?"
Some words may seem ordinary, but they are more touching than any nice words. Gu Yanxi's usual stern attitude softened, "As long as the emperor treats me as his brother, I will treat the emperor as my brother."
The emperor smiled with his brows relaxed, his face showing some youthful spirit. He knew that many people believed that he was too young now, so he had to rely on the regent, and they would not be able to accommodate him when he was fully grown. The regents must also be aware of this, but when the Grand Tutor gradually stopped participating in politics under the pretext of something else, he remained the same as always, would not deliberately retreat, and did not even show his loyalty to him.
He simply gradually dispersed the powers of the Seven Constellations and returned them to the various departments, set up the Military Department to solve the dilemma of Daqing having no military commanders available, and gave him an additional lesson in military tactics in addition to the lessons given by the Taifu...
His elder brother, the Crown Prince, never said much, he just did things and worked intensively to solve all the current problems in Daqing, as if he wanted to get things done quickly so that he could resign and leave. After watching these two years, he had already realized that in the Regent's heart, the Grand Tutor was much more important than the country, so as long as he could manage himself well, his brother would not abandon him in the future, and his Grand Tutor would not abandon him either.
The emperor was so happy that he couldn't hold back his excitement. "Why don't I go with you to welcome the bride?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea. Without waiting for Gu Yanxi to object, he turned around and told Xiao Shuang, "Hurry up and find me some clothes. Something ordinary. Don't steal the limelight from the groom."
Xiao Shuang, who was becoming more and more expressionless, could only use his eyes to express his frustration. Wasn't the emperor here to officiate the wedding? How did he become the bride's receptionist
"What are you still standing there for? Go quickly."
"… yes."
Looking at the young emperor with happiness shining in his eyes, Gu Yanxi suppressed the objection that was on the tip of his tongue. Never mind, as an emperor, how many times can he be so willful? Now he can still act recklessly by relying on his youth, and the future will be more and more out of control.
The wedding procession was unprecedentedly large. Gu Yanxi rode Linying at the front. Linying wore a big red flower like its master, which made it look particularly shiny and smooth. Behind them was a sedan chair carried by eight people, which was exquisitely crafted.
Because the emperor had joined, he was confident that the capital was now safe. Gu Yanxi did not dare to be careless and acquiesced to the twenty secret guards to go from the dark to the light, put on the uniform clothes of the servants of the Regent's Palace and join the team. He also added another twenty people from the Seven Stars to guard the emperor.
The emperor, whose wish had been fulfilled, was extremely happy. He looked around while sitting on his horse. It had been a long time since he had been out and about like this. It had also been a long time since he had seen such a lively and popular scene. There were so many people, a huge crowd!
Both sides of the street were filled with people. Everywhere you looked, there were people. They were all smiling, as if this happy event had something to do with them.
Yes, of course there is a connection. If there were no newlyweds today, it would be hard to say whether Daqing would still exist. They should be happy.
Thinking about all these random things, the emperor did not realize that the expression on his face was actually the same as that of ordinary people.
The long wedding procession arrived at Hualin Lane amid the joyful sounds of gongs and drums. Firecrackers rang out in the sky. Gu Yanxi comforted Lin Ying, his expression so tense that he seemed as if he were on a battlefield.
The door of the Hua family was ajar, and from time to time a child's head popped out and looked outside excitedly. They had their hair tied up in buns, and they looked outside and whispered to each other for a while, then looked again and whispered to each other. They looked so cute that people outside couldn't help but smile.
The first step in welcoming the bride is to stop the sedan chair door.
Gu Yanxi dismounted, took a package from Chen Qing, walked over, and directly handed over a bag of red envelopes.
The boys took it with a grin, but didn't move away.
One of them, who was about six years old, raised his head and asked, "Brother-in-law, can my eldest sister come home more often in the future?"
Gu Yanxi recognized that they were all children from the Hua family who had learned some martial arts from him. His tense heart relaxed a little, and he corrected him, "From now on, your eldest sister's home will be in the Regent Palace. This is her mother's home. As long as she wants, she can come back anytime."
"Then can we visit our elder sister at the palace more often?"
"sure."
After hearing the words they wanted to hear most, the children opened the door contentedly, and they passed this hurdle.
Gu Yanxi let out a deep breath and walked into the Yue family, which he was already very familiar with.
The bridal sedan was then carried in through the gate and stopped in the front yard. Old Madam Shi was already waiting there. After the sedan stopped steadily, she lit a red candle, held a mirror and stepped forward to carefully look inside the sedan a few times. This was said to be to drive out the wronged ghost hiding in the sedan, which was called "searching the sedan". Others could do this, but it seemed more solemn when it was done by Quanfu. The Hua family was naturally willing to give the best to Hua Zhi.
