Chapter 1263 - 47: Joyous Debt (Part 23)_2
The officials came with their madams to offer congratulations, and once nearly all had arrived, the Emperor appeared.
The last time, the Emperor learned that Su Yang had fled the wedding, and the Flying Tiger Army brought back only an old hen from Beimo after the marriage escort, so the Emperor stayed in the palace.
Now, it’s an official wedding ceremony, concerning the marriage alliance between Daqi and Beimo, the Emperor had to give face.
Even the Emperor came, not to mention those ministers.
After the Emperor sat down, he asked Su Jin, "Yuanyuan and the others haven’t come?"
"They’ve all come," Su Jin replied with a smile.
"No idea where they’re playing wildly now, before leaving, I instructed not to look for them."
The Emperor guessed what his precious grandchildren were up to.
The Emperor hadn’t been at the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion for even a quarter of an hour when Su Yang arrived with the bridal sedan chair.
They shot at the bridal sedan chair, stepped over the fire basin, crossed the saddle, and led Princess Yinchuan to the wedding hall.
First, bow to the heavens and earth.
Second, bow to the elders.
Third, bow between husband and wife.
The ceremony was complete, and the bride was escorted to the bridal chamber.
Su Yang had not even stepped into the new room when he was carried away by the Ninth Prince and the others.
How could they not drink wine on such a joyous day?
Su Yang was thus directly carried away.
Leaving was better; Princess Yinchuan’s heart was beating fiercely, she needed to calm down.
The wedding maid accompanied her into the new room, only to be stunned by two small figures on the rosewood engraved bed.
A little boy and a little girl, both three years old, crawling happily.
The wedding maids looked at each other, not understanding this custom, they hadn’t heard of this.
It was normal to place auspicious symbols of offspring on the wedding bed, but putting two children was unheard of, could it mean she wishes Princess Yinchuan to give birth to twins?
That must be the symbolism.
The wedding maid helped Princess Yinchuan to sit on the bed, the two little ones saw Princess Yinchuan approaching, tilted their little heads to look at her, "Are you the bride our Uncle Su Yang married?"
The boy was the youngest son of Second Young Master Shen.
The girl was the daughter of Third Young Master Shen.
Princess Yinchuan nodded slightly.
"She is our aunt," the little boy exclaimed happily.
"We have an aunt now," the little girl cheered and clapped.
The two bounced on the wedding bed, causing the longans to crack loudly.
Not only did it make a sound, but the little girl accidentally stepped on a longan and fell.
The wedding bed was soft, so the fall didn’t hurt, but the longans were uncomfortable.
The little boy quickly helped her up, asking, "Did you get hurt?"
"I’m not hurt, I won’t cry."
Such a sweet child.
The wedding maid seized the moment to say a few auspicious words, roughly meaning that with Princess Yinchuan entering the household, they would have a pair of such adorable children, making Princess Yinchuan’s face blush, mistakenly thinking it was Daqi’s custom.
She sat on the wedding bed, uncomfortable with the piles of longans and red dates underneath.
The little girl crawled over, looking at her, "Aunt is sitting on the red dates, isn’t your bottom sore?"
Princess Yinchuan, "..."
She was rather embarrassed.
A small hand reached over, trying to help her remove the longans and red dates.
What could Princess Yinchuan do? She couldn’t reject the little girl’s good intention.
She slightly lifted herself, and the wedding maid quickly said, "You should sit steadily, don’t move."
Princess Yinchuan could only shift aside, the little girl helped to clear away the longans and red dates, allowing Princess Yinchuan to settle back.
Ah.
Much more comfortable sitting now.
The little girl glanced at the longans and began peeling and eating them.
The little boy saw her eating and sat beside her to eat too.
The sound of peeling longans cracked loudly, especially in the quiet bridal chamber.
The wedding maid stood aside, unsure whether to interrupt the two little ones, hesitating as more longan shells littered the floor.
When the little girl discarded the shells, she even handed some to Princess Yinchuan, "Aunt, you should eat too."
Princess Yinchuan was very hungry.
She shook her head.
The little girl placed the longans on her thigh and brought several more for her.
Princess Yinchuan’s stomach disgracefully rumbled a few times.
The wedding maid, "..."
Princess Yinchuan was extremely embarrassed.
She had been too upset to eat much last night, and starving in the morning, the maid wouldn’t give her anything.
She had never been hungry like this before.
She was truly famished.
No matter what others might think of her, her face had more or less been lost anyhow, filling her stomach was the priority.
She also grabbed a longan, and the little boy handed her four or five red dates.
Most of the fertility symbols on the bed, except for the lotus seeds, were eaten.
The floor was littered with shells, and even the peanuts hidden in the duvet had been pulled out.
The two crawled from one side of the bed to the other, and back again.
Finally, exhausted, they fell asleep directly on the bed.
The little girl’s tiny foot still rested against Princess Yinchuan, sleeping so sweetly.
Princess Yinchuan’s heart melted into a puddle, she really wished to have such adorable children, how delightful it would be.
