Chapter 267 Wedding Night: Sweet and Romantic
The auspicious hour had arrived, and Wuming and Xiaodie, dressed in festive wedding attire, stood in the front hall. The bright red wedding candles flickered, illuminating their faces.
Murong Yi and Lin Qianqian sat upright in the hall, their expressions full of satisfaction. Su Wan'er sat beside Murong Yi with a beaming smile, occasionally raising her hand to adjust the jewels in her hair.
The servants in the mansion gathered around, their faces beaming with joy, all their eyes fixed on the newlyweds.
"Bowing to Heaven and Earth!" Afu called out loudly. Wuming and Xiaodie turned around, bowed slowly towards the direction of Heaven and Earth, and solemnly kowtowed, giving thanks for the blessed marriage.
"Second bow to our parents!" The two turned around again, faced Murong Yi and Lin Qianqian, and bowed deeply to express their gratitude for their upbringing and protection.
Murong Yi nodded slightly, her eyes full of satisfaction; Lin Qianqian smiled slightly, her eyes full of doting affection.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!" As soon as the words were spoken, Wuming and Xiaodie stood facing each other, gazing deeply into each other's eyes, and then slowly bowed, their foreheads lightly touching, as if they wanted to incorporate their promises for the rest of their lives into this bow.
Thunderous applause erupted all around, and servants offered their blessings, immersing the entire palace in a joyous and celebratory atmosphere.
After the ceremony, the entire palace was instantly filled with a lively and festive atmosphere.
Maids carried exquisite tea and snacks, moving among the crowd to serve guests sweet tea and delicious pastries.
The servants were busy moving tables and chairs to make the wedding venue more spacious and comfortable.
Murong Yi stood up, a smile on her face, and said to everyone in a loud voice: "Today, Wuming and Xiaodie are happily married, which is a great blessing for our royal family. May you two support each other and walk hand in hand through the years to come."
Everyone echoed this sentiment, raising their glasses to congratulate the newlyweds.
Su Wan'er moved gracefully to Xiao Die's side, took her hand, and said with sincerity in her eyes, "Xiao Die, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just tell me."
Xiao Die's eyes reddened slightly. She nodded gratefully and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Consort Su!"
Others in the household also gathered around, offering their blessings.
Wishing the newlyweds a long and happy marriage, and may their hearts be forever united!
"Have a baby soon and be happy!"
"........."
Each sincere word flowed like a warm current into everyone's heart.
At this moment, the chefs in the kitchen served up one delicious dish after another, and the air was filled with an enticing aroma.
Everyone sat together, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, their laughter filling the air.
Wuming and Xiaodie moved among the guests, toasting and thanking them one by one, their faces beaming with happy smiles, smiles full of anticipation for a bright future.
In the courtyard, several red plum trees were in full bloom, their crimson blossoms standing out even more against the backdrop of white snow. The rich fragrance of the flowers filled the air, blending with the festive atmosphere.
In the pond beside the artificial hill, goldfish swam happily, occasionally leaping out of the water and splashing up rings of sparkling water, as if they were also cheering for this joyous occasion.
Sunlight filters through layers of branches, casting dappled shadows that add a touch of vibrancy and warmth to the entire palace.
A gentle breeze blew, causing the wind chimes under the eaves to chime with a clear and melodious sound, which mingled with the laughter of the guests, creating a joyful symphony.
As night quietly fell and the lanterns were lit, the hustle and bustle of the Prince's mansion gradually subsided, except for the brightly lit bridal chamber of Wuming and Xiaodie.
The bright red wedding candles flickered with warm flames, filling the room with joy and warmth.
The nameless man, dressed in a red robe, stood tall and straight. His hands trembled slightly as he slowly picked up the scale beam.
He took a deep breath and gently lifted the red veil from Xiaodie's head. In an instant, Xiaodie's shy and charming face came into his view.
Wuming's eyes instantly filled with deep affection, his gaze fixed on Xiaodie, as if he wanted to etch her image deep into his heart.
His lips unconsciously curled up, and his eyes sparkled with excitement and joy, as if all the beauty in the world had converged in this moment.
Xiaodie's face was beaming with happiness, her cheeks as red as the clouds at sunset. Under the nameless man's intense gaze, she pursed her lips shyly, lowered her head slightly, and her long eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings.
Wuming slowly sat down beside Xiaodie, gently took her hand, his expression serious, his eyes full of affection: "Xiaodie, from today onwards, we are husband and wife. For the rest of our lives, no matter what, I will protect you."
Upon hearing this, Xiaodie deliberately pouted and teased like a child, "Hmph, that sounds nice, but who knows if you're just trying to fool me! Before, when I asked you to come to the market with me, you dragged your feet for ages before finally agreeing."
Upon hearing this, Wuming hurriedly explained, "I was delayed by something at the last minute that time, but I've been thinking about going with you ever since. I'll go with you anytime you want to go in the future."
Xiaodie blinked, a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips, and continued relentlessly: "And another thing, last time I wanted to eat pastries from West Street, but you bought the wrong flavor, making me wait in vain."
Wuming smiled helplessly and gently pinched Xiaodie's nose: "It was my fault, I accept the punishment. From now on, I will find out what you want to eat in advance and will never make a mistake again."
Xiaodie turned her head away, pretending to be angry, but her tone was full of reproach: "Hmph~ You're always going against me. I say go east, but you insist on going west. I think you're just trying to annoy me."
Wuming looked anxious and quickly raised his hand, saying earnestly, "I swear to God, if I ever deliberately oppose you again, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiaodie hurriedly covered his mouth with her hand, her eyes filled with heartache: "Don't say it! Why did you make such a vicious oath!"
Wuming gently removed her hand, staring intently at Xiaodie, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "You care about me?"
Xiaodie's cheeks flushed, her eyes darting away, and she spat out a light snort: "Fool~ Who told you to make such a vicious oath! Let me tell you, you're not allowed to die without my permission!"
Upon hearing this, Wuming's lips curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but chuckle. Then, he stretched out his arm and pulled Xiaodie into a tight embrace.
Xiaodie froze for a moment, then slowly relaxed, gently wrapping her arms around Wuming's waist.
The two embraced tightly, as if everything else in the world had ceased to exist, with only their heartbeats clearly audible in the silent night. The warm candlelight illuminated the newlyweds, gilding their happy moments with a golden edge.
A good night's sleep.
