However, everyone knew that the Prince of the South was definitely not capable of carrying Ji Wushang. Seeing this, Ji Tiankui stepped forward, wanting to help carry the bride. After all, as the eldest brother, it was not unreasonable for him to fulfill such a duty.
However, Nan Xuzong suddenly spoke up, "Big brother, I can do that."
Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately surprised. How could the Prince of the South possibly carry it?
Her face turned bright red; he must be thinking of hugging her!
To everyone's astonishment, he unleashed a golden spiral, pulling the man towards him. His martial arts skills were so superb that he no longer concealed them. In almost an instant, he had pulled Ji Wushang over and placed him in his arms in a princess carry.
"Ah!" she exclaimed, but he whispered, "Shh."
Although he couldn't see her face beneath the bridal veil, he could feel the tension in her body. He smiled, ignoring the astonished looks of the crowd, and with a exertion of his strength, the wheelchair moved forward on its own.
"My God! I never expected this!"
"This heavenly marriage is unique in the world!"
"Wow, that's amazing!"
...
"Wu Shang, the ten-mile-long red bridal procession, I have kept my promise. You can look carefully at the ground now." Nan Xuzong held her and gently whispered in her ear.
She froze, startled. She heard several sighs around her.
"Ten miles of red bridal procession!"
"So many people have come to welcome the bride!"
"Good heavens! The dowry is being brought into the mansion!"
Ji Wushang was listening, but he didn't know what was going on. He had already been taken aside by Nan Xuzong. The people around him exclaimed and counted the dowry that had been brought in.
There were a full 188 loads, and the procession of brides in red, stretching for miles, seemed to extend from the Marquis of Jinnan’s mansion all the way to this general’s mansion. Needless to say, the scale of the procession was spectacular! All sorts of valuables were included, from precious gold and silver jewelry to lighter items such as beds, tables, utensils, chests, and bedding.
The people around were stunned; just how much money does the Marquis of Jinnan's mansion have!
Nan Xuzong looked at her with a smile, "Ten miles of red bridal procession, let's go!"
"Thank you." Ji Wushang gently snuggled against him.
His heart started pounding.
He and she went to the bridal sedan chair together. Madam Fugui, Zhu'er, and Xian'er immediately helped Ji Wushang down and put him in the sedan chair.
As Nan Xuzong watched the wedding curtain fall, Gong Shu emerged from nowhere, dressed in a slightly reddish servant's uniform, and stepped forward to help push Nan Xuzong's wheelchair.
"Raise the sedan chair!" the matchmaker shouted, and the wedding procession finally began.
Bei Gongminhao walked out of the General's Mansion and watched from the gate as the procession finally headed towards the Marquis of Jinnan's residence. A pot of fine wine sat in his hand, but he had long since lost his sense of taste. She had finally married the Prince of Nan, and no longer belonged to him.
He might not bother her again, or he might not join forces with Nan Xuzong again. He has his own path to walk, and he has many things to do.
With a sigh, Beigong Minhao tilted his head back and poured all the wine into his sorrowful heart.
The wedding procession was grand and impressive. The entire capital knew that this was the day the heir of the Marquis of Jinnan was marrying the eldest daughter of General Ji. It was a marriage bestowed by imperial decree, attracting many people to come and watch.
Nan Xuzong smiled as the crowd of people rushed to see him, all lamenting the imperfection in Nan Xuzong's legs and the fact that Ji Wushang had married a disabled prince, thus wasting her entire life.
This marriage was met with disdain from some, envy from others for the grand wedding procession and the wealth and honor of the noble family, and lamentation for Nan Xuzong's shortcomings and Ji Wushang's tragedy.
Ji Wushang sat in the sedan chair, her heart pounding. She was really going to the Marquis's mansion. After so many days, she never expected that she would be marrying into the Marquis's mansion again!
How exactly did I meet this Prince Nan in my past life?
After the wedding, it was time to toast the newlyweds. They toasted Marquis Jinnan and Consort Zhao. Consort Zhao immediately spilled scalding hot tea all over herself. Before she could even cry, Nan Jinxue pulled her to her knees and kowtowed, demanding she confess her sins, even though she was innocent… Then they toasted the Prince of Nan. At that moment, his face was gentle and kind. Unlike Consort Zhao, he didn't make things difficult for her. He silently drank the tea and placed his purse on the plate…
That look in his eyes, I don't understand.
Ji Wushang had forgotten what that look was like.
Ji Wushang thought for a moment and sighed. He never expected that in his rebirth, he would meet him again during the season of falling flowers. He had been afraid of him and only then realized that he was such a powerful person. In his previous life, he really had no idea what kind of person he was!
Ji Wushang shook her head. Perhaps it was a blessing from heaven that, by some twist of fate, she was forced to marry the older brother of her husband from her previous life!
No, he's not exactly my older brother.
Ji Wushang steadied himself, only to hear a voice say, "Lower the sedan chair!"
Ji Wushang's heart pounded even faster.
Suddenly, Ji Wushang was helped down, like a doll being casually placed. He was led into the main hall. Ji Wushang closed his eyes. Returning to a familiar place always brings a different feeling. Unexpectedly, it was indeed so!
I'm back, and I'll slowly reclaim everything that happened before! Whoever owes me will pay the price!
The Marquis's residence was unusually noisy at this moment, filled with exclamations of surprise and polite, sycophantic remarks. The matchmaker led Ji Wushang into the hall, where Nan Xuzong was already waiting.
After much fuss, the wedding ceremony was completed, and the couple was led to their bridal chamber.
Nan Jinxue was wearing a magnificent dark blue robe. Watching Ji Wushang and Nan Xuzong kneel and worship heaven and earth together, and finally bow to each other as the couple entered the bridal chamber, she felt a pang of sadness.
At that moment, a woman approached with a tender expression, grabbed the dazed Nan Jinxue, and whispered angrily, "Why are you staring at her! She's just a bitch. You're the kind of person who likes to eat what you don't have while eyeing what you don't!"
"Mind your own business, you ugly hag!" Nan Jinxue pried Ji Yinxue's hand away and shook it off. "Even if you wear lotus flower makeup, it can't hide the scar on your forehead!"
"You, Nan Jinxue!" Ji Yinxue gritted her teeth in hatred. Nan Jinxue had already abandoned her and sat down to drink.
Ji Yinxue stomped her feet in frustration, then turned to watch Ji Wushang and Nan Xuzong enter the bridal chamber, and snorted inwardly. "I'll let you off the hook for now! But you'll get yours later!"
Ji Wushang felt a chill run down his spine, but it didn't really bother him. Oh well, once he entered this Marquis's mansion, he knew there would be no peace.
This may lead to even more bloodshed in the general's mansion.
Nan Xuzong then escorted her to her room, smiling as he said, "Please wait for me a moment; I still have to meet with some guests."
Ji Wushang nodded shyly. Could it be that he was still thinking of consummating the marriage like this?
Nan Xuzong went out, closed the door, and then left. Ji Wushang remained in the room, waiting quietly.
However, waiting was a bit tiring, and the phoenix coronet and wedding gown were really heavy, making my head and neck stiff and sore.
She gently lifted her red handkerchief a little, thinking to see if anyone was around, when she suddenly heard a voice, "Wu Shang".
Ji Wushang was startled and suddenly looked at the person in the distance. That person was none other than Nan Jinxue!
"How did you get in? Get out!" Ji Wushang coldly rebuked. "Otherwise, I wouldn't mind sending you to hell! This is a joyous day for me and your elder brother; I hope you can understand the gravity of the situation!"
"It's been a few days, and Miss has become even more feisty. But I like this personality." Nan Jinxue smiled and was about to step forward.
But then they heard someone outside calling out, "Madam Fugui, what brings you here?" It was the voice of a young maid.
Upon hearing this, Nan Jinxue immediately disappeared through the small window beside her, and Ji Wushang promptly lowered her bridal veil. What should she do? If things continued like this, and Nan Jinxue remained relentless, dragging her into the mess as well, no one could save her!
Damn it, she's already married, and he's married too, has he gone mad? What else does he want to do!
"I've come to see the bride and to scatter some rice and dates. Come on in," said Madam Fugui, as she and her maid pushed open the door and entered.
Ji Wushang was sitting upright in front of the bed. Lady Fu smiled and said, "From now on, you will have to call her the Crown Prince's Consort."
"Thank you." Ji Wushang smiled.
"May you have a son soon, and may your descendants be numerous... May you have a son soon, and may your descendants be numerous..." Madam Fugui muttered to herself as she scattered the contents of her plate into every corner of the room, even the bed, where she had scattered a lot of rice grains.
The more Ji Wushang learned about these things, the more panicked he became.
On the last day before his wedding, after Nan Xuzong had Zhu'er and Tiefeng escort him to the carriage, he woke up and found that he actually remembered many things.
Nan Xuzong broke the trap set by Yiyun Shangcheng, and Ji Wushang naturally stepped out of the trap. However, his heart was more panicked than before.
I don't know how to spend this wedding night.
That time, he had used Ji Yinxue's lust-inducing poison, and he felt ashamed of what he had done. This time, however, he was fully awake! How could he face this? This clumsy man was so flustered... What should he do?
Lady Fugui said many kind words before leaving with a few maids.
Only after closing the door again did Ji Wushang's nerves gradually calm down.
About an hour later, the entrance finally became bustling and noisy again. Ji Wushang immediately sat up straight. These must be people coming to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber and then have their wedding night...
Cold sweat streamed down Ji Wushang's forehead.
I don't know how to face this anymore.
Just as they were at a loss, someone opened the door and steadily let Nan Xuzong in, wheelchair and all.
Nan Xuzong approached Ji Wushang on his own and went straight to her side. Gong Shu and the others helped to put Nan Xuzong on the bed and he sat down with Ji Wushang.
Ji Wushang smelled the faint scent of alcohol on him, as well as the unique fragrance of orchids that belonged to him, and her heart felt a little more at ease.
The matchmaker, Lady Fugui, and several maids entered, followed by a group of young masters and ladies.
"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
Congratulations, Miss Ji!
"Husband and wife are of one mind!"
"A match made in heaven, may you be united in marriage, and may you soon have a son!"
After saying all that, these people finally stood aside.
The matchmaker stood to one side, while a maid carried a tray filled with various sizes of red paper wrapped in paper. The matchmaker distributed these items to the people who had come to make a ruckus at the wedding.
Meanwhile, Lady Fugui distributed a plate of dates to each of them, symbolizing their wish for them to marry soon. Finally, she handed one date to Nan Xuzong, who smiled and accepted it with both hands.
Nan Xuzong took the dates and ate them right in front of everyone. Everyone laughed and teased him as he ate.
Ji Wushang brought the dates over and carefully ate them under a red handkerchief. The others joked that the way the two of them ate made them all feel embarrassed.
After they finished eating the red dates, everyone started teasing them again.
"Young Master, quickly lift the bridal veil!"
"quick!"
"Let's see how beautiful the bride is!"
...
"Look at you all, get out of the way!" the matchmaker said with a laugh, while Lady Fugui came over with a tray containing a ruyi scale. "Young Master, please choose the bride's red veil!"
Nan Xuzong nodded, took the Ruyi Scale, and gently placed it in front of Ji Wushang. His hands were trembling slightly. He wondered how Ji Wushang was dressed. Although he and she had been intimate before, he had never been as nervous as he was today.
His Adam's apple bobbed before he slowly lifted the bridal veil. For a moment, Ji Wushang only felt the light, but once his eyes adjusted, he saw a room full of red, and a crowd of people looking at him and Nan Xuzong.
She was looking at Nan Xuzong, and Nan Xuzong was also looking at her.
Autumn's spirit is her bone, jade her skin, her snow-white face and delicate lips show a hint of shyness. Who can see her bright eyes and white teeth now? Like mandarin ducks playing in the water, they have transformed into immortals.
