The surroundings are filled with guests, all here to witness their ceremony.
Ye Qichi couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Hezhen.
In the text, when Xiao Hezhen married Wu Xufan, she was extrely reluctant, and now bowing in the ceremony with Wu Xufan must be an imnse tornt as well.
On the other hand, Wu Xufan’s face was nearly splitting with joy.
Ultimately, he couldn’t hide his affection for Xiao Hezhen.
From ti to ti, he would still steal glances at Xiao Hezhen, clearly eager to lift her bridal veil imdiately.
"The auspicious mont has arrived!" A loud voice announced.
The trumpets and suonas that had been playing ceased.
All beca exceptionally quiet.
"Please, the couple, bow to heaven and earth!"
Wu Xufan and Xiao Hezhen kneeled facing the entrance, bowing down.
"Second bow to the high hall."
Wu Xufan and Xiao Hezhen, together, facing Wu Wenchang and Xiao Jinxing in the high hall, bowed down.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
Wu Xufan and Xiao Hezhen, face to face.
Slowly.
They both bowed.
During the bow.
Wu Xufan, curious to see Xiao Hezhen’s look today, peeked through her bridal veil while bowing his head.
That mont, he saw a tear falling.
Wu Xufan’s throat moved slightly.
He pretended to see nothing.
He stood up straight.
"Escort to the bridal chamber."
It’s done, they are married.
Wu Xufan and Xiao Hezhen were surrounded and led into the bridal chamber.
Other guests were also invited to go enjoy the banquet.
"May I go see Xiao Hezhen?" Ye Qichi followed behind Xiao Jinxing and asked.
"Suit yourself." Xiao Jinxing was indifferent.
He showed a deanor of disinterest in whatever Ye Qichi did.
Ye Qichi didn’t care either and turned around, heading directly towards the back room with Lu You.
He knew the customs of the Daxuan Kingdom well.
Though they say "escort to the bridal chamber," in reality, after the bride and groom enter the chamber, they wouldn’t consummate the marriage imdiately. At most, they would drink the bridal cup wine, and the groom must hurry out to entertain the guests.
Ye Qichi stood waiting at the door.
Inside, Xiao Hezhen and Wu Xufan sat on the matrimonial bed.
Accompanied by countless attending maids and palace maids.
"Princess, Prince Consort, it’s ti to drink the bridal cup wine," the palace maid reminded.
"No need." Xiao Hezhen directly said, "There are many guests outside, please Prince Consort, go and attend to the guests first."
The mont Wu Xufan reached out to grab the cup.
His hand paused.
He glanced at Xiao Hezhen who was still under the bridal veil and stood up to leave directly.
Clearly.
With so displeasure.
The door was rudely opened by him.
Upon opening it, Ye Qichi was in sight.
Wu Xufan, still angry, was sowhat surprised to see Ye Qichi that mont.
"I ca to see Hezhen."
Wu Xufan said nothing and left.
Fuming with anger.
Ye Qichi couldn’t help but smile.
It seems he got sidelined by Xiao Hezhen.
She walked inside.
As soon as she entered.
All the palace maids and maidens inside kneeled down and paid respects, "Greetings to Princess Chen Wang."
"I’d like to talk to Princess Hezhen alone. Please leave for now," she said.
"Yes."
The palace maids and maidens left the room.
Ye Qichi approached Xiao Hezhen, "Hezhen, I am Ye Qichi."
Xiao Hezhen moved to lift her veil.
"Aren’t you waiting for Wu Xufan to lift your veil?"
"No need," Xiao Hezhen still lifted it herself.
Ye Qichi then saw Xiao Hezhen, extraordinarily stunning today, yet her face bore not a trace of joy.
"Sister-in-law, is there sothing you need from ?" Xiao Hezhen asked.
"Nothing really, just worried you might be feeling down, so I ca to talk with you," Ye Qichi said.
Xiao Hezhen’s eyes dropped.
Indeed, she felt quite despondent.
"Actually, Wu Xufan is quite a good person." Ye Qichi wasn’t exactly speaking well of Wu Xufan.
It’s just that these two had a perfect conclusion later in the book.
"Mm," Xiao Hezhen responded neutrally.
Seemingly uninterested.
"I figured, you might want to know about Yuan Wenkang’s situation," Ye Qichi said with a hint of a smile.
Xiao Hezhen’s entire deanor changed at once.
She looked at Ye Qichi, even surprised.
It seed she didn’t understand why Ye Qichi would know about her and Yuan Wenkang...
"Yuan Wenkang is currently at an inn on the way from Yuzhou City to Xun City, following Xiao Jinxing to Yuzhou although he was injured, but he also earned rits. He will receive the emperor’s comndation upon returning," Ye Qichi said nonchalantly.
Xiao Hezhen clenched her lips tight.
"The best outco for you and Yuan Wenkang is to forget each other and find your own happiness," Ye Qichi looked at Xiao Hezhen, "You understand this better than anyone."
