Chapter 118 The Big Wedding
However, now that we have come to this point, it is impossible to regret.
Rong Heqing was like a piece of dough, allowing anyone to knead her into a round shape or flatten her. The water used for her bath was mixed with scented dew from flower petals. After washing, she was taken out of the water, dried, and then a layer of ointment was applied to her, even her toes were not spared.
999 looked at him and sighed: [Host, who can tell the difference between you and Honey Bun now? ]
Rong Heqing: [……]
You're just jumping around because I can't hit you.
After applying the ointment, it's time to get dressed.
A bunch of people surrounded her and helped her put on the clothes, three layers inside and three layers outside, and then combed her hair and put on a crown.
Rong and Qing were both in high spirits, but were made drowsy by the complicated hair-combing ceremony.
Wanzhu and Zheliu put on makeup for her, lightly drawing her eyebrows, applying a touch of rouge, and finally applying a layer of light red lip balm, and that was it.
Rong Heqing picked up the Hehuan fan and went to the front hall to bid farewell to his parents and relatives.
The King and Princess Annan were dressed in their best attire and sat in the main seat, Concubine Lu sat below, and Rong Ji and Rong Qiao stood on either side of the King and Princess.
They watched Rong Heqing slowly walk over surrounded by the crowd.
Rong Heqing knelt down with the help of Wanzhu and Zheliu, put down her fan, and said to the prince and princess: "My daughter is getting married today, and I have come to bid farewell to my parents. I wish my parents long-term happiness and health, and hope that everything goes smoothly without worries. I am unable to be with you, so please do not blame me, and take care."
The princess' eyes turned red before she finished listening to her. She took off the jade bracelet with excellent water head from her wrist, took Rong Heqing's hand and carefully put it on her, "After marriage, even if you are fully grown up, you will be the mistress of the family and you will be in charge of the household affairs, impartial and just."
Rong Heqing nodded, "My daughter will remember your mother's teachings."
The princess wanted to say more, but she raised her head to hold back her tears and said with a smile: "You and the prince will be husband and wife in the future. Husband and wife are one. You must tolerate and support each other."
King Annan also said: "Let's discuss anything together. Don't keep it in your heart. The palace is different from your own home. You should be more restrained, but you can't let yourself get angry. If anyone dares to bully you, don't forget your identity. You are not only the Princess of Duan, but also the Princess of Changle, and my daughter, Rong Hegui."
"My daughter understands."
When Rong and Qing were getting dressed and putting on makeup, they didn't yet feel like they were getting married, and didn't feel any difference.
But now, kneeling here, looking at my parents with tearful eyes, my heart suddenly ached.
So this is what it means to get married.
Leave your original home and form a new home with another person.
How the rest of your life will be depends on you and your husband.
Concubine Lu also wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. Rong Qiao was the most out of control. Her tears kept streaming down her face, and she even covered her face and sobbed.
His sister is married, and his father, mother, and elder brother will leave sooner or later. He is the only one left in this huge palace.
To others, Rong Heqing just got married and moved to a new place, but to him, his backbone was taken away. His sisters all got married, and he was alone from now on.
Rong Heqing was feeling a little uncomfortable at first, but when she saw him crying so hard that he could hardly stand up straight, she felt moved, helpless, and wanted to laugh, so she asked someone to comfort him quickly.
The matchmaker shouted outside: "The auspicious time has arrived, the bride should go out!"
Without having time to say anything else, the princess and the prince stepped forward and helped Rong Heqing up.
The princess held back her tears and personally covered Rong Heqing with a red veil.
Rong Ji went out first, stopped in front of the steps, squatted with his back to her and said, "Sister, I will carry you out."
"Thank you, big brother." Rong Heqing was supported by someone and lay on him.
Rong Ji held her legs steadily, stood up, and carried her steadily down the stairs step by step.
Rong Heqing couldn't see anything, and everything in his field of vision was bright red.
She lowered her head and could see the bricks and stones under her feet, but as she looked, her vision became blurry.
Drops of water fell wherever they walked.

The entrance to the Annan Palace was already crowded with people, and Qin Yun was sitting at the front of the wedding procession.
His legs were not good and he could not ride a horse, so their sedan chair was very large and could accommodate two people. In a while, Qin Yunxian would sit in the sedan chair with Rong Heqing and be carried back to Prince Duan's Mansion.
His eyes fell on the decorated front door, and his fingers unconsciously clenched the armrests of the wheelchair.
The bridesmaid came out first, flicked her handkerchief and said with a smile: "The bride is here!"
Qin Yunxian's eyes suddenly lit up, like fireflies suddenly lighting up on a summer night.
He stared blankly at Rong Ji, who was carrying Rong Heqing step by step towards him. The hustle and bustle around him was blocked out, and he could hear nothing but the chaotic heartbeat beating in his ears.
Rong Ji carried Rong Heqing all the way to the bridal sedan before putting her down. He then stood up and turned to look at Qin Yunxian, saying earnestly, "I will leave my sister to the prince. Please treat her well."
Qin Yunxian cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Definitely."
Rong Ji nodded, looked at him deeply, and took two steps back.
Then Guan Zhen stepped forward and pushed Qin Yunxian into the bridal sedan, giving the matchmaker a look.
The bridesmaid shouted, "The auspicious time has arrived, lift the sedan chair—"
The magnificent sedan chair carried by sixteen people was lifted up, and the ceremonial guard immediately started playing music and drums.
The sound of firecrackers was deafening.
A burst of cheers suddenly broke out on the long street.
Amid the noisy crowd, Rong Heqing felt someone approaching her. Before she could make any move, the person had already lifted a corner of her veil.
His eyes lit up and Rong Heqing subconsciously closed his eyes. He blinked to adjust himself before looking up, and happened to meet Qin Yunxian's eyes.
Both of them were stunned.
The dim afterglow of the setting sun filtered in through the window and fell on their faces. The bright red wedding gowns glowed with a soft, moist and bright light, making their complexions look extremely beautiful, too beautiful to be real.
Qin Yunxian seldom wears such bright colors. Rong Heqing didn't expect him to look so good in them and was dazed for a moment.
Qin Yunxian had always known that Rong Heqing was very beautiful, and had also imagined how beautiful she would be wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal gown.
But imagination is just imagination after all, and it is far less shocking than seeing it with your own eyes.
It was so stunning! He actually felt a little ashamed under Rong Heqing's gaze.
His eyes were too straightforward and naked. Rong Heqing understood it. His face became a little hot. He pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Does it look good?"
Qin Yunxian nodded honestly: "It looks good."
Rong Heqing's face became even hotter.
She tilted her head, and the tassels of the phoenix crown swayed gently, shining brightly and dazzling the eyes.
Both of them were speechless, and the atmosphere was awkward and ambiguous.
[Xiao Jiujiu, do you feel something is strange? ]
999 Bewildered: [What's strange? ]
[Oh, I see. You two are like someone who got married right after a blind date. You haven't even gotten over the beginner phase yet, so it feels weird.]
It comforted Rong and Qing: [Don't worry, wait until you get tired of each other... No, it will be fine once you get familiar with each other. ]
Rong Heqing: […Forget it, you better stop talking. ]
She turned back and tried to find some topic to ease the tension, but unexpectedly Qin Yunxian spoke first, "Are you hungry?"
