Chapter 1675 Accompanying You to the Wedding Ceremony
Previously, Zhou Shiyue had the steward spread the word about the time of the wedding ceremony.
Now that he suddenly said he wanted to move up by half an hour, Uncle Yun and Granny Qing exchanged a glance, both somewhat puzzled.
"Your Highness, the appointed time has been set. I'm afraid some people will arrive late. If they arrive earlier, some guests will miss the ceremony," Granny Qing advised him.
"When I perform the wedding ceremony, I bow to Heaven and Earth, to my parents, and to my wife. As long as Heaven and Earth are here, my parents are here, and my wife is here, the ceremony is complete and will not be affected. Moreover, not everyone will be late."
Zhou Shiyue, however, was very resolute.
His words left Uncle Yun and Granny Qing speechless.
"Then let's make preparations. The question is, could Sect Leader Yin and the others arrive ahead of schedule?"
Among the elders, Sect Leader Yin is fortunate to sit in the main seat, but he doesn't know if he will arrive only after the wedding procession. And the Emperor himself is also uncertain; it wouldn't be good if he didn't arrive by the time of the wedding ceremony.
“They will arrive ahead of time,” Zhou Shiyue said.
"it is good."
Granny Qing and the others had nothing to say; it wouldn't make a difference if the wedding ceremony was held a little earlier.
After all, many guests will arrive early...
Just as they were thinking this, they saw several carriages speeding towards them, seemingly vying for the lead. The one in front looked familiar and was leading the way, exuding an aura of overwhelming power.
"Isn't that Lord Chen's carriage?" Qinglin recognized it at a glance.
Why is Lord Chen running so fast?
Everyone was somewhat surprised. Soon the carriage arrived in front of them, and the driver suddenly pulled on the reins, bringing the carriage to a stop in front of them.
Lord Chen swiftly lifted the carriage curtain, jumped down, patted his robes and straightened his appearance. Turning his head, he saw a group of incredibly handsome masters and guards at the door.
His eyes lit up, and he came running over with a beaming smile, excitedly exclaiming, "Oh my! Your Highness, congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations! Your Highness looks so handsome and festive today!"
"This is the first time I've seen Your Highness so...approachable."
After meeting Zhou Shiyue's gaze, Lord Chen lowered his voice slightly, then turned to his attendants and said, "Quickly, quickly, help the lady down. And you, quickly carry down my congratulatory gifts, be careful not to bump or knock them."
"Oh dear, Your Highness, am I the first one to arrive?"
Qinglin smiled and replied, "That's right, Lord Chen is the first guest today."
Upon hearing this, Lord Chen's face lit up with joy again. He said happily, "That would be perfect! I had already decided to be the first to come and offer my congratulations. If I were a step late, the heir of the Marquis of Runan would have gotten there first."
As Madam Chen was helped down from the carriage by her maid, the carriages behind caught up.
Dai Xu also jumped off the carriage, but after getting off, he first turned around and took out a box from the carriage before walking quickly towards this side.
He glanced at Lord Chen, snorted somewhat resentfully, and then turned to Zhou Shiyue, bowed, and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness."
He paused for a moment and then said, "My parents are behind me and will be here a little later. I was in a hurry, so I rushed ahead."
At this point, Dai Xu glanced at Lord Chen again. He hadn't expected that even though he had arrived so early, he was still a step behind Lord Chen.
However, at the street corner just now, Lord Chen played a little trick. He had someone watch the intersection and block other people's carriages first, so that he could rush over first.
His carriage was stopped by Lord Chen's men, so he didn't get to be the first to ride.
Lord Chen actually resorted to scheming in such matters; he truly is a corrupt official.
However, Prince Dai did not say this aloud.
Zhou Shiyue didn't argue with them at this point. After all, he appreciated their kindness.
Then several more people on horseback arrived, one of whom was Lin Rong.
Besides Lin Rong, there was also Lord Gu's family.
Lord Gu also hurried over with his wife and daughter.
Uncle Yun and the others hadn't expected the guests to arrive so early, so they quickly invited them inside.
Prince Dai approached Zhou Shiyue excitedly and said, "Your Highness, may I go with you to welcome the bride?"
Zhou Shiyue glanced at him.
"Your Highness, I'm not being ridiculous! How can you go to fetch the bride with only people from the Prince's residence? You'll need a few close friends, good brothers, and so on..."
When it came to words like close friends and brothers, Dai Xu felt a little guilty and lowered his voice, but quickly raised it again and said, "Your Highness, it seems that you don't have any close friends or brothers around you, so you've asked me to fill in and make up for the lack of formality. Please don't mind, I'm dressed alright today, aren't I?"
As Dai Xu spoke, he even spun around in front of Zhou Shiyue to show off, displaying a bit of the peacock's tail feathers.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw him like that.
Granny Qing also laughed and said, "Young Master Dai is already married, but I didn't expect him to still be so childish."
Uncle Yun, standing nearby, offered a word of advice: "Your Highness, the young master is right; it'll be more lively with more people."
At this moment, Sun Yanyan also rode over on horseback. He was also dressed in new clothes. Although it was not a festive color, it was a refreshing royal blue, which made him look gentle and refined, and dignified.
"Your Highness, may I be included as well?"
Dai Xu glanced at him and said, "Shouldn't you be considered a relative of Miss Lu? What are you doing here?"
Sun Yanyan said with a smile, "My mother and my younger sister have already gone to Huaiyuan, which means they're on Miss Lu's side. I'm just here to make up the numbers for the Prince's side, since we're all family anyway."
Lord Chen rolled his eyes as he listened, thinking that this young master Sun was much more capable than him. He didn't even dare to tell Miss Lu and the prince that they were family, but young master Sun just blurted it out so casually.
Ultimately, it was this official position that held him back.
"Okay, let's go together."
"Let's go, let's go fetch the bride!"
As soon as the wedding procession set off, a long line of betrothal gifts followed, 120 in total, all covered with red paper, so many that it was impossible to count them all.
Zhou Shiyue, riding a fine horse adorned with red ribbons, glanced towards the capital. He had been expecting Zhou Ze to arrive before the Crown Prince's carriage came along.
The crown prince caught up with the wedding procession and breathed a sigh of relief.
He jumped off the carriage and strode toward Zhou Shiyue.
A guard quickly led over a white horse.
"Uncle Emperor!"
The Crown Prince looked at Zhou Shiyue, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Nephew will go with you to pick up your Imperial Aunt."
“Okay, let’s get on the horse,” Zhou Shiyue said.
The Crown Prince mounted his horse nimbly, glanced back at the direction of the carriage, and saw the Qin family carriage stop. Qin Yuerong lifted the curtain and gave him a bright smile.
"Uncle, let's go." The Crown Prince turned around.
