Chapter 452: Wedding
When the wedding procession stopped in front of the Eastern Han Dynasty palace, the sound of drums and music also stopped.
The bridesmaid smiled as she lifted the brocade curtain on the sedan chair. Even through the thick veil, Si He could feel the light in front of her eyes.
The sun was shining brightly outside. Although I couldn't hold an umbrella here, I was lucky to have a veil to protect me and my wedding dress was tightly on, so it didn't matter.
"The bride is getting out of the sedan chair."
After the matchmaker finished speaking, she reached out and held her hand with a smile on her face.
Si He put her palm into her sleeve and placed it on the bride's hand through her sleeve.
The matchmaker glanced at her but didn't care, then carefully led her out.
At this moment, the noise around was much quieter.
After Si He walked out of the sedan chair, she noticed that there was someone standing in front of her. The person seemed to be looking at her, but the veil was thick, and if she didn't use the special ability of her eyes, she couldn't see anything. But she vaguely guessed who the person was. For a moment, her heart seemed to beat faster for some reason.
The person standing in front of her was indeed Yue Fuli. He had just rushed back last night. He had not attended the wedding in person before, but he could not miss the wedding day again.
At this time, he was wearing an exquisite red wedding dress, with an upright posture and extraordinary demeanor. Standing under the sunlight, he was very dazzling.
An eighteen-year-old boy is at the age of high spirits, especially with his handsome appearance, which makes people around him look at him.
However, his face was too cold, and he was more steady than his peers. Faintly, there seemed to be a faint aura of coldness and a trace of hostility that had not yet dissipated.
Many people are accustomed to him being like this, because in recent years, he has spent most of his time in the army, stepping through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, so his temperament is naturally different from that of ordinary men.
Despite this, there are still many girls in the boudoir who are attracted to him. After all, in addition to status and ability, a good-looking appearance is also particularly attractive.
Before, many families had proposed marriage to the Yue family, but they all declined with many reasons. No one expected that he would eventually marry the daughter of a Zhongzhou merchant, and it was heard that she was a concubine's daughter, which surprised many people.
At this time, the bridesmaid stuffed a piece of red silk into Si He's hand, while the other end was held by Yue Fuli.
The festive drum and music sounded again, and with the bridesmaid's words of congratulation, Yue Fuli took the red silk and led Si He towards the mansion.
The several daughters of the Guo family in the wedding procession followed the maids into the mansion at the back. They were not treated specially, as if they were just maids accompanying them. No one even took a second look at them.
They were extremely frustrated at this moment, especially when they saw from afar that the groom had an extraordinary appearance and noble bearing, which made people unable to take their eyes off him. Although they had heard before that the young master of the Yue family was as handsome as jade, they were still stunned when they saw him with their own eyes.
Unfortunately, the person he led into the house with a red silk hand was Guo Jiaqu, and they were just concubines of low status, like maids. Like everyone else, he didn't even look over here, and they felt mixed emotions in their hearts.
The unconscious Guo Jiamei stayed in the carriage and no one carried her out. The carriage was allowed to enter the mansion through the side door along with other carriages carrying dowry, as if she was just an object among them.
Guo Zan forced a smile and silently followed the crowd into the palace gate.
The front yard of the Yue family was crowded with guests watching the ceremony, and it was very lively.
After Si He and Yue Fuli entered the main hall of the palace, everyone's attention was focused on them, with different looks.
The main hall was decorated extremely gorgeously, with red silk and lanterns hanging everywhere, exuding a festive atmosphere.
Sitting on the main seat were King Yue Nantian of the Eastern Han Dynasty and his queen, Wei.
Yue Nantian is over forty years old and in the prime of his life. He has a dignified face, deep eyes, and exudes the demeanor of a military general, with an imposing aura.
The mistress of the Yue family, Wei, was also about forty years old. She sat upright, and although she had a smile on her face, there was a scrutinizing look in her eyes.
At this time, the master of ceremonies shouted: "The newlyweds salute!"
Yue Fuli and Si He then bowed in the hall and performed the ceremony according to the rules.
Every time the two of them saluted, there was a burst of warm cheers from the surroundings, and the atmosphere was very good.
Si He wore a veil, and when she lowered her eyes, she could only see the hem of his clothes and his feet. His luxurious red robe was embroidered with exquisite patterns, and his boots were black with red patterns and gold-lined hems, exuding luxury and festivity everywhere.
She should have been happy to get what she wanted, but looking at the festive colors and feeling the festive scene, she felt a complex emotion in her heart, especially when the couple bowed to each other at the end, she couldn't help but tighten her hands holding the red silk, and her eyes inexplicably became red.
However, she did not pause and bowed politely. After a while, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
After the ceremony, warm cheers and congratulations were heard again all around, making it very lively.
The next step was to send her to the bridal chamber. Yue Fuli held Hongchou's hand and led her towards the new house, while Gao You followed beside her, supporting her and guiding her as before.
We walked in silence all the way, and after passing through long corridors, we finally arrived at the yard where the new house was.
Walking into the new house, the house was filled with a faint scent of incense and flickering candlelight.
The new house was filled with festive decorations, and red dates, longans and other items were scattered on the bed.
Si He sat on the bed. After a while, at the suggestion of the matchmaker, Yue Fuli slowly reached out and lifted her veil.
When the veil was lifted, her beautiful face with heavy makeup was revealed.
She raised her eyes and what came into view was Yue Fuli's stern yet handsome face. When their eyes met, she immediately raised the corners of her lips and smiled like a blooming flower.
She was still as bold as ever. When facing him, she did not show the shyness of an ordinary girl, and the joy in her eyes was not concealed at all.
But today her makeup was exceptionally gorgeous, dazzling like a beautiful blooming flower.
The female guests who came with her in the room were all amazed by her beauty. They had never expected that the daughter of a merchant could be so beautiful.
Yue Fuli glanced at her, then silently withdrew his gaze and sat beside her.
The bridesmaid brought the wedding wine. The two wine glasses and the wine pot were made of pure gold and were exquisitely made. The surfaces of the wine pot and cups were carved with delicate auspicious patterns, and they emitted a dazzling light under the candlelight.
The bridesmaid poured the wine carefully. The wine was clear and transparent. In an instant, the air was filled with a faint aroma of wine.
When the bridesmaid brought the wine, Yue Fuli reached out to take the wine glass, handed it to her first, and then took one for himself.
Si He took the wine glass and then looked away. With the bridesmaid's congratulations, she took his arm and drank it all in one gulp.
