Chapter 527 The ceremony is completed
At the Shen family's side, after learning that the bridal sedan had been picked up and was about to depart, Shen's father and Mrs. Meng were already happily waiting at the door.
Today, the Shen family has more guests than the Jiang family. In addition to Shen Yanxi and Shen's father's colleagues and friends, Meng also has many close friends and family members.
The entire Shen family was very lively, and those who came to congratulate were almost all rich or noble. The most eye-catching among them was Xiao Yi.
Although Xiao Yi seemed to be unconcerned about state affairs and spent the whole day idling around and having fun, he was, after all, a legitimate prince and his mother was a royal concubine. In the absence of a legitimate son, he was also one of the candidates for the crown prince.
Now that Xiao Ling is dead, Emperor Xiao's other sons are not outstanding either. Some court officials who originally bet on Xiao Ling have begun to turn to Xiao Yi.
Coupled with the hype created by Concubine Cheng's mother's family, and the fact that Xiao Yi has indeed restrained his desire for fun during this period and started to honestly participate in political affairs, he has become a popular candidate for the crown prince in the minds of many court officials.
A court official approached Xiao Yi carefully and said, "Greetings, Your Highness. I didn't expect you to come today."
"This prince received Lord Shen's wedding invitation. I happened to have nothing to do today, so I came here." Xiao Yi had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.
The court official who had just spoken was thinking quickly in his heart. The Fourth Prince and the Third Prince had a deep brotherly love, and the Third Prince's death was closely related to Lord Shen's new wife, Miss Jiang. If you really think about it, I'm afraid he must have some grudge in his heart.
but……
After all, Lord Shen is an important official in the court and is deeply trusted and relied upon by the emperor. If the Fourth Prince really wants to be the crown prince, winning over Lord Shen is a good choice.
Besides, the Third Prince is already dead, so there seems to be no need to keep hanging on about what happened before. Thinking in this way, today is a good opportunity to resolve the past grievances.
Thinking of this, the courtier smiled again, "Your Highness is honored to come here, I think Lord Shen will definitely be grateful to Your Highness."
Xiao Yi glanced at the courtier and said with an ambiguous smile: "I'm afraid Shen Yanxi is not so easy to be grateful to others."
"This……"
The court officials were a little embarrassed and didn't know how to continue speaking when Xiao Yi spoke again.
"This prince was just joking, Lord Qian, don't be nervous. Today is the wedding banquet, everyone should just watch the ceremony happily."
"Your Highness is right, Your Highness is right!" the court officials responded quickly.
Everyone waited for nearly a cup of tea before the wedding procession returned.
Amid the sounds of ceremonial music and the blast of firecrackers, in the midst of a lively and festive atmosphere, Jiang Suining walked down from the bridal sedan holding the other end of the red silk.
Although she was covered by a round fan, Jiang Suining still saw Xiao Yi out of the corner of her eye when she walked into the Shen family. She turned her head slightly to take a look, and after confirming that it was really him, she retracted her gaze.
According to the rules, when a bride enters the house, she must step over a fire basin and scatter beans and grains, but Shen Yanxi specifically instructed that these two items be cancelled.
The moment you enter the door, what is scattered on the ground is no longer beans, but fresh flower petals.
Looking at the falling petals, Jiang Suining thought of the boat full of flowers again.
When she left Tianyin Pavilion with Shen Yanxi the day before, she asked him why he prepared that boat of flowers.
It is not easy to get a boatload of flowers in winter, and I don’t have any particular favorite flowers. Compared to the paintings on another cruise ship, those flowers don’t seem to have any special meaning.
Shen Yanxi's answer was that he passed by a tea stall some time ago. The stall owner was a woman. Next to the money jar she used to collect money was a small earthenware jar with a few early plum blossoms inserted in it at different heights, which was quite elegant.
When a customer who was drinking tea asked about it, the woman said that the plum blossoms were given to her by her husband. Her husband worked as a handyman in the academy and would bring her a few flowers every day when he passed by the tea stall.
Sometimes I bought them on purpose, sometimes I just picked them, and there were a few times when I couldn't find any flowers, so I folded up fallen leaves and strung a few for her.
She also specially prepared a narrow-mouthed earthenware jar to hold the flowers.
When the woman talked about this, there was a gentle smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and happiness seemed to be overflowing.
Shen Yanxi realized belatedly then that he had hardly ever sent flowers, so he prepared that boat of flowers to make up for it.
Coming out of his thoughts, Jiang Suining had already walked along the red carpet into the lobby.
"First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to the high hall, and husband and wife bow to each other!"
Everything went smoothly, and with the words "the ceremony is over", the cheers and celebrations around reached a climax.
Jiang Suining couldn't help but look at Shen Yanxi through the fan.
Shen Yanxi's tense heart finally fell back into his stomach at this moment. He moved his lips slightly and silently called "wife", his eyes filled with joy.
After the worship of heaven and earth, the wedding banquet officially began. Jiang Suining was led to the bridal chamber, while the groom Shen Yanxi was forced to drink.
Jiang Suining originally thought that it would take a long time for Shen Yanxi to get away, but she had just sat down on the wedding bed and had not had time to temporarily send the matchmaker and the maids and nannies out when Shen Yanxi walked in from outside the door.
"Why did you get here so quickly?" Jiang Suining asked in surprise.
"Thinking that you must be hungry, I asked someone to prepare food." Shen Yanxi gently shook the food box in his hand.
"Sir, just leave it to this old servant."
The nanny stepped forward and wanted to take it, but Shen Yanxi avoided her.
He strode to the bedside and placed the food box on the table beside the bed. When he opened it, he saw exquisite pastries and snacks inside, which were all Jiang Suining's favorites.
"These can't replace meals. Just eat a few bites first. I've already asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes. They will be delivered to you as soon as they're ready."
Feeling the envious looks from the maids and nannies, Jiang Suining's cheeks felt a little hot and he felt a little helpless.
"I'm not very hungry. You should go to the front hall and greet the guests. It's not good to just let my uncle and aunt... my father and mother greet them."
Hearing Jiang Suining's changed name, Shen Yanxi became even happier.
"Ningning, I'll be here in a minute. I'll ask Yuanliang to wait outside. If you have anything to tell me or want to talk to me, just ask him to pass on the message."
"okay, I get it."
"Also, don't eat too much of these cakes. Wait until the food is delivered and eat more hot food. I also asked them to cook soup. It's cold today, so you should drink some."
"I understand. Go quickly."
"By the way, if you are tired, don't worry about the old-fashioned rules and sit here properly." Having said this, Shen Yanxi turned around and said to the nanny and maids beside him, "Don't restrict the young lady."
The maids and the servants responded quickly.
Shen Yanxi gave a few more instructions, and finally there was nothing else to explain. Under Jiang Suining's urging gaze, he left the bridal chamber, looking back every few steps.
