While searching the sedan, Gu Yanxi bowed to all the guests around him, then walked up to Hua Pingyu and bowed deeply. It was not the time to change his words, so he did not call anyone.
Hua Pingyu supported him softly, he was willing to accept the gift from the Regent today.
Old friends of the Hua family came forward to congratulate, and auspicious words were poured out like money. Gu Yanxi nodded and thanked them every time he heard a word, especially when others said that they would grow old together, he bowed gently. This was the only thing he hoped for for the rest of his life.
The emperor who was standing behind him in secret finally revealed his true face because of his action. Everyone was stunned. The emperor? Instinctively, everyone was half a head shorter!
The emperor quickly called to the side and said, "My dear ministers, there is no need to do this. The emperor is not here today. I am just here as the brother of the prince to accompany him to pick up the bride. Please show some mercy and let my prince take the bride back smoothly."
Everyone said they didn't dare.
Not to mention the emperor's suppression, even if there was no one, no warrior would dare to make things difficult for the regent under his great reputation. Besides, as spectators, they really had no intention of making things difficult for the newlyweds. Making this couple a perfect couple was God's gift to them, so how could they dare to interfere
If not everyone thought so, it would not be so easy for the Regent to marry the daughter of the Hua family today. Daqing has always been very tolerant of wedding disturbances.
The emperor raised his chin towards the regent with a smug look on his face, and the words "I have made a contribution" were almost written on his face.
It was already noon, and according to the rules, the main dinner was to be held at the bride's house, so Gu Yanxi had to accompany them. He was particularly easy to talk to today, and no one dared to tease him. He took the initiative to toast a few glasses of wine with others. He had practiced his drinking capacity, and in Shibuya, this was a test that he had to pass.
Instead, Hua Pingyu advised him, "Today is an important day, don't delay important matters."
Gu Yanxi immediately put down his wine glass and responded. He was so obedient that it made people stunned.
Hua Pingyu was also a little stunned, but he quickly realized that it was his son-in-law doing a facial for his daughter, and his worries were inadvertently reduced a lot.
In the quiet family temple, Hua Yi stood quietly in front of his old wife's spirit tablet for a long time. He often came to see her these days. He didn't need to say anything and didn't think about anything. It was as if the woman who was gentle in her youth and had not learned the old ancestor's ways even in her old age was still by his side.
Hua Pingyang came in and bowed to his mother's spirit tablet, then reminded softly, "Dad, the time is almost up."
Hua Yi was standing with his hands behind his back, murmuring as if to someone: "The eldest daughter of our Hua family is getting married. You should also take a look."
Hua Pingyang's eyes were filled with tears, and he quickly helped his father out. Today was a good day, and he didn't want to think about these unhappy things. He would wait until tomorrow, and tomorrow he would come and talk to his mother.
In the boudoir, Hua Zhi also ate a little.
The maids carefully arranged her wedding dress, even the hem, and knelt down to arrange it neatly.
Except for the unmarried girl, all the other female members of the Hua family were in the house. No matter what they usually cared about, at this moment they only felt reluctant to leave. This was the girl who had protected them for more than two years and helped the Hua family overcome a great difficulty. It was she who saved them from displacement and allowed them to escape from that disaster unscathed. Obviously, the pillar of the family has returned, but they still feel uneasy thinking about her marrying into someone else's family.
It's funny that in the past two years, these elders have become accustomed to hiding behind her.
Fortunately, the men they married were very good, so they felt a little relieved.
After leaving the crying eldest sister-in-law to the third sister-in-law, Wu walked up to the bride and looked at her for a moment, "She is so beautiful."
"That's right." Hua Zhi raised her chin and a smile spread across her face.
Mrs. Wu touched her still not plump face and said, "You are such a smart girl. I believe you will be happy for the rest of your life and live the comfortable life you want most."
"Yes, I will."
"Come back when you miss home. Don't worry about the taboos of married women. No one in the family will complain that you come back too often." Wu choked up as she spoke. "Go ahead and tell the people in the Prince Regent's Palace that Fourth Aunt will come to see you more often."
"Don't worry, I can make the decision over there. Fourth Aunt can come anytime. Don't worry about people talking behind my back or disturbing me. As long as I'm in the mansion, you can come anytime." Hua Zhi looked at her mother who was crying so hard that her shoulders were shaking. "Bring my mother with you."
"… good."
The noise outside was getting closer and closer. Liu Xiang hurried over to remind him, "My son-in-law will be here soon."
Wu quickly wiped her tears and personally took the bridal veil and put it on Hua Zhi. The two sisters-in-law quickly scolded Zhu, but she still couldn't stop crying.
Under the red veil, Hua Zhi closed her eyes and listened to the faint crying. This time she did not try to persuade her. She knew that her mother in this life was crying because she couldn't bear to leave her. Her tears could prove it.
Until this moment, she felt that she was really going to get married. This was not a wedding to bring good luck when she was seriously ill, but a real marriage with three matchmakers and six engagements, and the groom was going to take her to the next stage of her life.
She was so lucky to avoid the arrangements of her parents and the matchmaker, and got to know and appreciate Yan Xi. She went through many ups and downs, overcame one crisis after another, and even survived the life-and-death crisis. Finally, she achieved today and became Yan Xi's bride.
And her groom was just outside the door.
She found her Monkey King, and he came to marry her on a colorful cloud.
Hua Zhi couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips as she listened to the sound of the door opening, the jokes of the aunts guarding the last checkpoint, and the footsteps of the man approaching her.
"Azhi, I'm here."
Hua Zhi wanted to laugh, but her nose felt inexplicably sore. She said "hmm" softly and nodded, and her red veil swayed.
According to etiquette, the bride has to be carried out of the house by the brothers. Hua Bolin grabbed this job early on and even worked hard to train his strength for half a year.
He would never let his elder sister fall!
Hua Bailin came to the eldest sister like a little rooster and squatted with his back to her. Yingchun and Baoxia helped the young lady to lie on the back of the Sixth Young Master and protected her from the side.
Gu Yanxi endured it and didn't try to snatch the person back, but held him in her arms and bowed to the other women in the room.
At this time, Zhu was supported by the nanny to the main room. Hua Yi was sitting at the first seat, and the other side was empty. Hua Pingyu and his wife sat at the lower seat.
Hua Bailin carried the person over on his back, and Gu Yanxi immediately stepped forward to help the person down and kneel on the cushion. He then knelt beside Azhi and performed the farewell ceremony and the change of words ceremony with her.
After Gu Yanxi called him grandfather, Hua Yi took the jade ruyi from his youngest son and handed it to him, "I hope you will live a happy life."
"Thank you, Grandfather."
The two of them bowed to their parents again. Hua Pingyu moved his mouth slightly, and his voice was so hard that it didn't sound like his own, "I hope you'll be well. I hope you'll be well for the rest of your life."
"Yes, Dad, don't worry, I won't dare to make Ah Zhi sad in the slightest."
PS: It seems like it will take another chapter to finish... The girl from the Heming Cup should not care about who is better than Xihuazhi, and should not brush Xihuazhi under other books. If there is destiny, you will naturally read the book. If not, don’t force it. We should all be generous girls, right
