Chapter 111: In the Middle of the Grand Wedding

Today, the sky was clear for thousands of miles, with light clouds and gentle wind. The magpies on the tree branches chirped incessantly, as the auspicious time had arrived.

Whether on the streets welcoming the bride or by the windows upstairs, everywhere was crowded with common people eager to watch the excitement and share in the joy. Similarly, the entrance of the Lu residence, which had rarely been so crowded in recent years, was now packed with onlookers.

Looking at the magnificent and luxurious royal bridal sedan chair carried by sixteen people outside the mansion, as well as the welcoming procession of several people playing gongs and drums, the scene was truly grand and impressive.

It was impossible for men and women, young and old, not to feel envious.

Although it was the wedding of a Young Master, it was comparable to that of a prince. However, since Yun Qinwang and the current Emperor were as close as sisters, such a grand display was only natural.

The sedan chair bearers were particularly eye-catching. They were all tall and mighty warriors, exuding an air of righteousness and valor.

Although General Lu had passed away early, her former subordinates were loyal and nostalgic people. They all rushed back from the border to offer congratulations and voluntarily took on the role of sedan chair bearers, showing how deep their former affection was.

Suddenly, the deafening sound of firecrackers erupted outside the Lu residence, signaling that the bride was about to depart for the welcoming ceremony. The bustling crowd began to cheer, with spectators craning their necks to look towards the entrance of the Lu residence.

Among the group of people coming out of the mansion, Lu Yuner was seen walking out of the Lu residence in a red wedding dress, instantly attracting the attention of many. Men and women, young and old, all stared at her, their eyes filled with indescribable amazement.

Unfortunately, the words of praise and compliments were drowned out in the midst of the boiling noise.

As a teacher and due to personal habits, Lu Yuner usually dressed in a fresh and elegant manner.

However, she was originally beautiful, and today, with exquisite makeup and wearing intricately designed accessories, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, it added a dazzling brilliance to her clear and otherworldly face.

As soon as Lu Yuner came out and saw the crowd of onlookers outside, she realized that whether in another world or here, this was her first marriage in life.

She was originally just a small official, and with her quiet household, except for the students at the Imperial Academy greeting her, she rarely had people greet her in daily life. How could she have ever received such attention as today?

Naturally, she felt both nervous and excited.

She took a deep breath, maintaining her usual gentle smile.

After Ye Chen whispered a few words of advice in Lu Yuner’s ear, she effortlessly pulled the reins and leapt onto a white stallion with a large red silk flower hanging around its neck. The welcoming procession followed closely behind, departing from the Lu residence amidst the noise of firecrackers and the clamor of gongs and drums.

After Lu Yuner left, Ye Chen immediately instructed the servants to distribute wedding candies to the surrounding common people, continuing until the end of the wedding, and was especially generous, saying there was plenty of candy for everyone.

After all, a wedding was a joyous occasion, and moreover, the former General Lu had been a loyal general with a good reputation during her lifetime, often engaging in charitable acts and living an honest life.

Although when the news of Lu Yuner’s engagement to Young Master Su first spread, it had caused many people to be envious and mock them, now that Lu Yuner was considered part of the imperial family, her future high position and power were a certainty, and the wind of opinion began to blow in another direction.

Whether it was for General Lu or for today’s joyous occasion, or for other reasons, people came forward to take the wedding candy and share in the joy, not forgetting to say a few words of blessing for the newlyweds.

At this time, the wide street was so crowded that not even water could trickle through, and Lu Yuner had already adapted to being watched by so many people, sitting straight on her white stallion as she passed through the lively street.

Soon they arrived at Yun Qinwang’s mansion. Compared to the bustling streets earlier, no one dared to watch here. Chen Si, seeing the welcoming procession arrive, immediately raised her voice: “The bride has arrived—”

After skillfully dismounting, Lu Yuner rearranged her wedding dress. Out of courtesy, she still had to bow to the parents and ancestors of the other family, so Chen Si led Lu Yuner into the prince’s mansion.

Although Su Bai was Yun Qinwang, tracing back to her roots, she was still a foreigner, with no homeland and no living relatives, so no banquet was set.

Now for Su Qingwan’s wedding, this originally solemn prince’s mansion was hung with red silk and decorated with lanterns, appearing festive yet lacking any lively atmosphere.

After all the formalities were completed, Su Bai, as Su Qingwan’s only elder, held his hand to send him off to be married and came to the bridal sedan chair, accompanied by Chen Si and Wan Ling.

Su Bai, with moist eyes full of reluctance, looked at Lu Yuner and advised, “I’m entrusting Qingwan to you. You must treat him well from now on.”

As she spoke, she handed Su Qingwan’s hand to Lu Yuner. Lu Yuner extended her hand to take Su Qingwan’s hand and bowed to Su Bai, saying, “Mother, please rest assured, Yuner will certainly treat A-Wan well.”

Under the red veil, Su Qingwan listened to their conversation, feeling both reluctance towards his mother and more anticipation for his future life with Elder Sister Yuner. Living together with Elder Sister Yuner for a lifetime was, after all, his long-held wish.

Lu Yuner held Su Qingwan’s hand and looked towards Wan Ling, who had something to say to her. Wan Ling looked deeply at Su Qingwan, who was wearing the red veil beside her, her eyes also filled with reluctance.

Qingwan was marrying someone else, and it was impossible not to feel heartache. But after all, they had known each other for so long, and he and Lu Yuner were willing partners. As long as Qingwan could be happy, even if she was still infatuated, she would gradually let go.

But facing Lu Yuner, Wan Ling’s eyes seemed to hold a blade as she looked at her, her tone clearly growing colder, “If you dare to mistreat Qingwan in the future, I, Wan Ling, will definitely not let you off!”

Although her words carried a threatening tone, Lu Yuner understood that her love for A-Wan was no less than her own.

Lu Yuner politely replied, “Please rest assured, General Wan, I, Lu Yuner, will certainly not let A-Wan down.”
