Chapter 1684 Early Wedding Ceremony
With tears glistening in her eyes, Granny Qing stopped. She had originally intended to tell the prince that there were rules for a new bride entering the household, but she quickly thought, "What rules are there?"
From now on, the title of princess will be their rule.
Moreover, the prince felt sorry for the princess and wanted to carry her into the house. Isn't that a good thing?
"Look, look, our Prince's heart and eyes are full of the Princess." Uncle Yun came over and said to her, "Qing, just wait and see, our Prince's Mansion will definitely have a little prince next year."
Granny Qing nodded and smiled.
Hearing their conversation from the side, Madam Sheng felt a pang of heaviness in her heart.
The master doesn't even know if he can survive this life-or-death ordeal. It's likely the people in the Prince's mansion are unaware of this.
"I carried my queen as we stepped over the fire pit and onto the saddle."
Zhou Shiyue carried Lu Zhaoling and steadily walked into the gate of the Prince's Mansion.
The Prince's mansion is so big, he couldn't bear to let her walk such a long way covered in a bridal veil.
Although Lu Zhaoling was sure she could walk steadily, he wanted to carry her with him.
Lu Anfan accompanied him, while the Crown Prince stood on the other side.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhou Shiyue steadily carried Lu Zhaoling and strode across the brazier.
Without pausing, he took another large step and stepped over the saddle.
May the newlyweds have good fortune, prosperity, and peace!
Since the Prince of Jin's mansion didn't have any conservative elders to begin with, and Zhou Shiyue used to be a rule-breaker, many rules were simplified.
But everyone was genuinely happy and excited.
Lord Chen and Lin Rong were also watching from the side. When they saw Prince Jin carrying Lu Zhaoling steadily across the brazier and saddle and walking towards the hall, Lord Chen sniffed, looking like he was holding back tears.
Lin Rong glanced at him, somewhat disdainfully, and said, "Lord Chen, you're not thinking of crying, are you?"
Lord Chen wanted to retort, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he burst into tears, unable to hold back his sobs.
Lin Rong: "???"
No? What's going on here? It's like Chen Deshan is marrying off his daughter!
Lord Chen leaned towards Lord Lin's shoulder and said with a sob in his voice, "Lord Lin, aren't you excited? We've all watched Miss Lu and the Prince go through thick and thin, enduring countless hardships to get to where they are today. Aren't you moved? Aren't you excited? Aren't you overwhelmed with emotions?"
Lord Lin pushed him away.
"If you want to cry, then stand still and cry."
He moved two steps to the side. Don't even think about leaning on his shoulder and crying; that would be disrespectful.
Why are the women on the other side? If Madam Chen were here watching, Lord Chen certainly wouldn't dare to act like this.
As Lin Rong moved aside, he ended up next to Imperial Censor Lin.
Everyone else who came out of the morning court went back to their residences to change into casual clothes, but they were all dressed in new or clean clothes. Only Imperial Censor Lin was still wearing his court robes.
Although they shared the same surname, Imperial Censor Lin had always found Lin Rong more pleasing to the eye. Upon seeing Lin Rong approach, Imperial Censor Lin sized him up and remarked with admiration, "Madam Lin's family is quite wealthy; Lord Lin is truly blessed."
Look at Lin Rong's outfit, it's understated yet high-end and classy.
Unlike him, whose official robes were the newest and most presentable, he didn't go back to change.
Lin Rong: “…”
Another person saying he's a kept man.
Zhou Shiyue carried Lu Zhaoling into the hall and put her down.
At this moment, Yunbo had already invited Yin Changxing and Weng Songzhi to sit in the high seats, and on another grand chair, the tablet of the retired emperor had been placed.
Yin Yunting was pulled by Qinglin and pushed to the side of the main seat.
“Young Master Yin, although your father is here, you cannot sit in the main seat, but the Princess Consort said that you should also be here when she performs the wedding ceremony.”
However, since it's not his turn to sit, he'll have to make do with standing to the side.
But standing here, when the prince and princess kowtow, the guests can also see that his status is extraordinary.
Yin Yunting was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Lu Zhaoling would give such an order.
Looking at Lu Zhaoling standing in the hall, he was filled with mixed emotions. He never expected that the mischievous little girl who used to climb on the roof and tear off the tiles would finally get married.
At this moment, Yin Yunting also felt like an old father wanting to marry off his daughter.
He looked at his father, who was sitting in the main seat, and saw that his father was also staring blankly at his senior sister. He guessed that his father was feeling the same way.
However, because his father still retains memories of his previous life, he may feel even more deeply moved than his father.
After all, the eldest sister in her previous life didn't even live past ten years old.
The crown prince looked outside several times.
He asked the person next to him in a low voice, "Haven't Father Emperor and Mother Emperor arrived yet?"
In fact, the Crown Prince had also considered that his father and mother would not arrive early, but would definitely arrive late.
But shouldn't it be about time by now?
"Your Highness," a guard whispered, "the Emperor and Empress have already left the palace and are currently heading towards the Prince's residence."
He had been keeping a close eye on the Emperor and Empress's movements. He had just received news that the Emperor and Empress were traveling separately, with their carriages one in front of the other, and at a very slow pace. It was as if the two of them were having a competition to see who could move the slowest.
The guards didn't tell the Crown Prince these things, lest the prince be upset.
The Crown Prince nodded and said, "Then they should arrive before the wedding ceremony." Thinking of this, the Crown Prince felt a little relieved. He still hoped that his father and mother, as the elder brother and elder sister-in-law, would watch his uncle get married.
It's only lively when the whole family is together. However, the Imperial Aunt has her master, uncle, and junior brother, as well as her younger brother, while the Imperial Uncle only has the Imperial Grandfather's memorial tablet and himself, a junior, which makes him seem somewhat pitiful.
Fortunately, there was still some time before the wedding ceremony.
We'll have to wait a little longer for the guests.
However, just as the Crown Prince was thinking this, Uncle Yun stepped forward and loudly proclaimed—
"The Prince's Mansion is overjoyed. The newlyweds are preparing to perform the wedding ceremony. All guests are invited to attend."
Qingyin and Qingbao stepped forward to help Lu Zhaoling, and Zhou Shiyue gently squeezed Lu Zhaoling's hand, "A-Ling, let's get married."
Lu Zhaoling hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.
She thought that after entering the Prince's Mansion, she would have to wait a while, arrange for the guests, and then rest for a bit, or wait for the Emperor and Empress to come and listen to the officials from the Ministry of Rites representing the royal family explain the procedures before the wedding ceremony.
She had barely stepped into the hall and stood still when the wedding ceremony was about to begin.
Lu Zhaoling was somewhat bewildered.
The crown prince was also bewildered, "Are we going to have the wedding ceremony now?"
No one answered him, for everyone looked at each other in surprise. Weren't they waiting for the Emperor?
However, Uncle Yun had already started shouting loudly—
"Worship heaven and earth."
Lu Zhaoling was helped by Qingyin and Qingbao to turn outside, and she bowed in a daze.
On the street, the empress's carriage sped past the emperor's carriage.
