This was her first time entering the imperial city of Northern Qi, but she was not in the mood to see it.
She sat upright in the car, not squinting, holding her breath.
Qi Yanyu had already put on his wedding robe and led the civil and military ministers to welcome him at the palace gate.
With Xiao Ru's support, Shen Ning and Pingting stepped out of the carriage gracefully. Her gorgeous floor-length red dress made the sky red and Qi Yanyu's eyes red.
He stared at her intently, unwilling to blink at all.
According to the custom of getting married in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the bride does not need to cover her head.
She had a plain face, no makeup, but her skin was as white and clean as fine jade. Her eyes were black and bright, moist and shiny. She only applied a little crimson rouge on her lips, but her whole face was bright. Brighten up.
It was like a riot of purple and red blooming all over, but it couldn't compare to the loess under her feet.
When Qi Yanyu reached out to pick her up, he was so nervous that his breath stopped.
He held her slender jade fingers that were as soft as catkins, but he couldn't suppress the distraught thoughts in his heart. At this moment, he thought of the flowers and candles in the wedding room, and he couldn't help but be shaken.
Holding her hand blankly, Qi Yanyu's mind was filled with wandering thoughts. It wasn't until the ceremony officer quietly reminded him of what he should do next that Qi Yanyu blushed and suddenly realized.
He took the jade bottle from the etiquette officer, which symbolized the harmony and peace of the couple, put it in her hand and smiled at her.
Then he held her hand and walked slowly towards the wedding hall under everyone's gaze.
This was the first time he held her hand in public. Her fingertips were slightly cold, with a refreshing coolness, trembling lightly in his palm.
And his palms were full of sweat.
Why, is she as excited and looking forward to it as he is
Qi Yanyu looked intently on the surface, but the corner of her eye never left her face for even a moment.
He saw her lowering her eyes, smiling at the corner of her mouth, and felt unspeakably sweet in her heart. He couldn't help but hold her hand tightly. It wasn't until he saw her raising her moist eyes and giving him an angry and strange glance that he relaxed slightly. The strength of his hand makes him feel a little proud in his heart.
On the road from the palace gate to the wedding hall, he held her hand and walked side by side.
He seemed to be in a fog along the way, not real at all.
When they arrive at the entrance of the wedding hall, the etiquette officer sends someone to take the bride to the wedding room next to her, and wait until an auspicious time before visiting the hall to get married.
Qi Yanyu held her hand and was reluctant to let go.
After a while, he whispered: "You go and rest for a while, you will worship soon."
Hearing the word "worship", Shen Ning's face turned slightly red and she nodded lightly.
Qi Yanyu's heart was itching unbearably, wishing that the auspicious moment would arrive soon. The moment he was about to let go of her hand, he suddenly leaned forward and whispered in her ear.
After hearing this, Shen Ning's face turned even redder, and she followed Xi Niang towards the wedding room without looking back.
Qi Yanyu was in a good mood when he saw her red ears.
He strode into the wedding hall and faced the civil and military ministers who came to congratulate him, with a smile on his face.
Shen Ning walked to the wedding room and sat down, feeling her face warm and her heart beating.
Like Qi Yanyu, she felt dreamy and unreal the whole day.
But just because of Qi Yanyu's words, she seemed to be awakened from her dream.
He said: "When we get married, you will truly belong to me."
This sentence was inexplicably ambiguous, and she didn't dare to think about it further, but her heart was in a mess, and she bit her lip gently with her teeth.
She stared at a wedding candle with a confused expression. She didn't know what she was looking at, and the beating flames made her feel panicked.
But she couldn't show any of it.
