Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
On the day of their wedding, the crown prince donned formal attire and put on his coronet. He first headed to the Longevity Palace to kowtow to the queen dowager, the king, and the queen.
Queen Zhao looked at her outstanding son with warm eyes.
After exiting the palace, the royal carriage was joined by a procession. Guards had already cleared the path, and the Dragon Saliva Guard was overseeing the road from Minshun Boulevard to the royal palace to prevent any accidents.
The parade ambled along slowly, which grated on Mo Lian’s patience.
Beneath his jade coronet, his handsome face was embellished with upturned eyebrows. However, his phoenix eyes were flickering, his soul long flown to who knows where.
“Your Highness, keep your composure. You will see the crown prince consort very soon.”
How could he stay composed? He could even hear his own heart beating right now. He had been anticipating the end of the wait, and the day of the wedding had finally arrived!
On the other end, the Qiao Family had been in a tizzy since early in the morning.
Even though they had already transferred many people from the palace to help, Wei Ziqin still felt like there were not enough hands on deck.
“Master, Master, I’m telling you, it’s so lively outside today.” Qingluan flapped its wings as it flew in through the window after making a round outside.
When it caught a glimpse of the girl wearing a formal crimson wedding gown sitting in front of the vanity mirror, it felt as if its sight had been set ablaze.
This wedding gown had been woven with welkin brocade.
As everyone knew, welkin brocade cost 20 thousand taels of gold per inch in the past. As for now, there was basically no supply anymore.
The little lady sitting in front of the vanity mirror had her cloudlike hair coiled up loosely, and the blazing crimson wedding gown accentuated her fair and exquisite petite face.
When she lifted her fair and smooth wrists, a white lustrous jade bangle carved with an emerald pine appeared.
As she stood up, the layered welkin brocade also extended. When she walked with her lotus boots that were embroidered with gold thread, she was like a dispersing crimson cloud spreading its fragrance.
She really was an unbelievably beautiful little lady.
This was one of the rare times that the little fellow would wear red, yet the occasional times she did really made people unable to look away.
When the female servants who had temporarily been transferred over to attend to her saw the expressionless look on her exquisite petite face, they couldn’t resist guessing whether the crown prince consort was unsatisfied with this marriage….
But when that icy petite face complemented this blazing wedding gown, it really presented an indescribable beauty.
Finally, when it was the auspicious time, the young crown prince consort was escorted to the central room and ushered into the main hall.
The Qiao Zhongbang couple felt gratified when they saw their daughter.
Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Brother Xiao Hu, and the others had also changed into new clothes and were waiting for her as they sat in the main hall.
Xiao Lin’er held her younger brother’s hands, and together with the little monk, they wiped their tears. However, from the looks of their bulging pockets, they had most likely received many presents already…
The crowd ushered her toward the royal carriage noisily. When she looked up, she saw the crown prince, who was dressed elegantly in his formal attire, impatiently walking in through the main entrance.
The instant the two groups met up, Crown Prince Mo took up his wifey’s hands with a grin.
Yet a red, off-putting light suddenly enveloped the little lady.
That red light was so dazzling that it practically snatched up the wedding gown’s splendor as it erupted from her body in the blink of an eye!
“Shriek!” The cry of a phoenix was heard.
A blinding light flew up from her body and instantly dyed the sky above Minshun Boulevard a bright red luster.
