Chapter 135 Grand Wedding
Time finally rushed to the day of Lin Yuxi and Shen Minghui's wedding. The Rongguo Mansion was decorated with lights and full of joy, and there was a lively scene everywhere.
In the courtyard of Lin Yuxi's Tingyu Pavilion, busy figures were shuttling back and forth. Zhang Yanran, Lin Yuxi's sister-in-law, was methodically directing the servants in the mansion to prepare for the wedding.
"Hurry up, put those flowers in the front hall!" Zhang Yanran shouted, her voice full of excitement and nervousness.
"Madam, everything is prepared as you ordered." A servant replied respectfully.
Zhang Yanran nodded with satisfaction and turned to walk towards Lin Yuxi's room. In the room, Lin Yuxi was sitting in front of the dressing table, letting the maids dress her up.
"Yuxi, you look so beautiful today!" Zhang Yanran walked into the room and exclaimed.
Lin Yuxi smiled slightly, with a happy light in her eyes: "Thank you, sister-in-law, this is all thanks to you."
"This is what I should do." Zhang Yanran said with a smile, "You and Shen Minghui are a perfect match. I hope your wedding will be perfect."
Lin Yuxi gently held Zhang Yanran's hand: "Sister-in-law, I remember everything you have done for me. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do."
Zhang Yanran's eyes flashed with emotion: "We are a family, no need to be so polite. As long as you and the prince can be happy, I will be satisfied."
……
At this time, there was a lively sound of gongs and drums outside, and Shen Minghui rode a tall horse and came to meet the bride in a heroic manner. He was wearing a red wedding dress and his face was filled with a happy smile.
"The bride is coming!" With a shout, Lin Yuxi walked out of the room with the help of the bridesmaid. She was wearing a gorgeous phoenix crown and bridal robe, and was very beautiful.
Lin Yuxi said goodbye to her sisters-in-law, tears in her eyes, and said, "Sisters-in-law, thank you for your care over the years. I will come back to visit you often in the future."
Lin Yifei came forward, carried Lin Yuxi on his back, and carefully sent her to the bridal sedan.
"Aunt, you must be happy!" Lin Yifei said.
Lin Yuxi smiled and nodded, but tears flashed in her eyes, "Yifei, don't worry, I will."
The bridal sedan was lifted up and moved forward slowly. Shen Minghui rode in front on horseback, looking back at the bridal sedan from time to time, his heart full of anticipation.
……
Shen Minghui came to the sedan chair. According to custom, he would shoot an arrow at the sedan door to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters. He picked up the bow and arrow, aimed at the sedan door, and shot an arrow with force.
"One arrow decides the outcome!" someone in the wedding procession shouted.
Shen Minghui smiled slightly, then walked forward and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair. Lin Yuxi's beautiful face appeared in front of him, and his heart was filled with joy.
"Yuxi, I'm here to pick you up." Shen Minghui said softly.
Lin Yuxi smiled slightly: "Yeah."
……
Shen Minghui and Lin Yuxi came to the wedding scene surrounded by people. The emperor, queen and prince had been waiting there for a long time.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, the Queen, and the Crown Prince!" Shen Minghui and Lin Yuxi saluted the Emperor, the Queen, and the Crown Prince.
"No need to bow!" the emperor said with a smile, "Today is your big day. I wish you a happy marriage and a long-lasting love."
Shen Minghui and Lin Yuxi thanked the emperor, empress and prince, and then began the wedding ceremony. They formally worshipped heaven and earth in front of everyone.
"Bow to heaven and earth!" the ceremonial officer shouted loudly.
Shen Minghui and Lin Yuxi turned to face the heaven and earth and bowed deeply.
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
They turned to the direction of the Emperor, Empress, Prince Jing and Princess Jing and bowed again.
"Couple greetings!"
Shen Minghui and Lin Yuxi faced each other, stared at each other, and then bowed slowly.
"It's done!"
With the master of ceremonies' loud shout, the wedding ceremony ended. Shen Minghui held Lin Yuxi's hand and walked into the bridal chamber.
In the bridal chamber, red candles were shining brightly, and the atmosphere was filled with joy. Lin Yuxi and Shen Minghui sat opposite each other, their eyes full of love.
"Xixi, we are married again!" Shen Minghui's voice was full of joy.
Lin Yuxi smiled and responded, "Well, my pleasure!" Her eyes were shining with happiness. They smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
……
The next morning, sunlight shone through the window onto the bed. Lin Yuxi and Shen Minghui woke up, smiled at each other, and then stood up together.
"Let's go, it's time for us to serve tea to our father and mother." Shen Minghui said.
Lin Yuxi nodded, and the two walked hand in hand towards the main hall.
In the main hall, Prince Jing and the Princess were already waiting. Lin Yuxi and Shen Minghui walked in and knelt down to salute.
"Youth (daughter-in-law) pays respects to father (mother)!" the two said respectfully.
Prince Jing looked at them and nodded with satisfaction, "Get up!"
Lin Yuxi and Shen Minghui stood up and handed the teacups to Prince Jing and the Princess.
"Father, please have some tea!" Shen Minghui said.
"Mother, please have some tea!" Lin Yuxi said.
Prince Jing and the princess took the teacup and took a sip. Prince Jing looked at Lin Yuxi and said with a smile, "Yuxi, from now on, you are the daughter-in-law of my Prince Jing's Mansion. I hope you and Minghui can support each other and run this family together."
"Don't worry, father. Your daughter-in-law will do her best." Lin Yuxi said respectfully.
The princess also smiled and said to Lin Yuxi, "Yuxi, I like you very much. I hope you can adapt to life in the palace as soon as possible. If you need anything, just tell me."
"Thank you, mother." Lin Yuxi said gratefully.
After the tea ceremony, Lin Yuxi and Shen Minghui went back to their room to rest. Lin Yuxi sat on the bed and sighed softly.
"What's wrong, Xixi?" Shen Minghui asked with concern.
Lin Yuxi smiled slightly, "Nothing, just some emotion. We have been husband and wife for several lifetimes, and each lifetime has different experiences and feelings. In this lifetime, we are here again and have become the prince and princess."
"Yes, we have come a long way." Shen Minghui hugged Lin Yuxi gently, "But as long as we are together, we can live happily no matter where we are."
Lin Yuxi leaned in Shen Minghui's arms and nodded. They smiled at each other, their eyes full of expectations for the future.
……
In the following days, Lin Yuxi and Shen Minghui lived a happy life in Prince Jing's mansion. They handled the affairs of the mansion together, cared about the lives of everyone in the mansion, and did not forget the sweet time between each other.
One day, Lin Yuxi and Shen Minghui were walking in the garden when they heard a noise. They followed the sound and saw a group of maids and servants gathered together, not knowing what they were looking at.
"What happened?" Shen Minghui asked.
