“The bride, hurry up and step over,” the matchmaker urged Jiang Yuyan after she finished singing.

The fire in the brazier was even more intense than before. The more intense the fire, the more prosperous the days would be. The bridal granny pulled Jiang Yuyan towards the brazier. Jiang Yuyan was so frightened that she lifted the hem of her wedding dress. She didn’t want such a big fire to burn her wedding dress.

Jiang Yuyan was already afraid, but the firecrackers on both sides of the door lit up again. The ground was filled with firecrackers, and she dared not go over.

Zhong Yong could tell that Jiang Yuyan was scared. He didn’t care about the rules. He walked over and carried his wife in his arms. He strode over the brazier and stunned the bridesmaid. Fortunately, she was experienced and sang:

“The bride and groom crossed the brazier, and the little days were red with fire. The husband and wife sang and flew together!”

Zhong Yong picked up his wife, smelling the fragrance on her body, but he couldn’t bear to put her down. He carried Jiang Yuyan to Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing before carefully putting her down.

Yun’ er’s eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Yuyan’s wedding dress. She said excitedly to Su Qing,

“Mother, Yun1 er also wants to be a bride.”

Did the little girl know what being the bride meant? Su Qing rubbed his daughter’s head and said to her with a doting gaze,

“You are too young. When you grow up, Mother will make you a bride.”

In ancient times, one could get married at fourteen, but Su Qing did not want her daughter to get married so early. The flowers had not yet bloomed and would wither early after marriage and birth.

That kind of life would be over at a glance. It wasn’t very sensible!

“Oh.”

Yun’ er was very disappointed. However, she was only unhappy momentarily and immediately returned to being mischievous.

A veil covered the bride’s face. The little girl was squatting on the ground and looking at the veil. Her mischievous little appearance made Xiao Zeyu smile.

With the pride of an old father, he felt that his daughter was adorable.

“Your Majesty, please give a speech,” Zhang Jinglin shouted.

Xiao Zeyu smiled as he stood up. All the officials had come to attend Zhong Yong’s wedding. The courtyard fell to their knees when he stood up and cheered for him.

“Long live, long live, long live…”

Xiao Zeyu raised his hand to get them up,

“No need to be polite.”

The commoners watching the commotion outside were excited when they heard the shouts inside. The Emperor was here? They knelt outside the Zhong Residence.

“Long live, long live, long live…”

The citizens shouted in unison, expressing their love for Xiao Zeyu.

When Xiao Zeyu had just established the Great Tang, the commoners still believed that changing dynasties was the same. Their lives were still in deep suffering.

Unexpectedly, after the Emperor ascended the throne, he issued a series of decrees to benefit the people. The Empress even organized everyone to learn silkworms and weaving techniques. She distributed high-yield and drought-resistant seeds so people could live and work in peace and prosperity. Who wouldn’t love such a good emperor?

Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu looked at each other, their eyes filled with grat.i.tude. They were unmoved by the ministers’ shouts of long live, but the love of the people made their blood boil. They felt that everything they had done was worth it.

“Zhong Yong is my sworn brother, and Uncle Zhong is my father’s sworn brother. Our relations.h.i.+p for two lifetimes. Now that Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong are no longer around, the eldest brother is his father. I wish them a hundred years of happiness, harmony, and early birth of a son!”

Xiao Zeyu’s speech had given Zhong Yong enough face. The status of the Emperor’s sworn brother was not to be underestimated.

After Xiao Zeyu finished speaking, he sat down steadily, and Zhang Jinglin continued to host.

“Bow to heaven and earth, bow to the high hall, bow to husband and wife… Step into the bridal chamber.”

Zhang Jinglin’s voice was as clear as the wind; very suitable to host this wedding. Zhong Yong and Jiang Yuyan bowed to the heavens and earth according to Zhang Jinglin’s instructions. The husband and wife bowed to each other, and Zhong Yong happily pulled Jiang Yuyan to the bridal chamber with a red satin.

The banquet began in the courtyard. Today, all the chefs of the imperial kitchen had been dispatched to the Zhong Manor to prepare the wedding banquet. The Empress was sitting at the seat of honor. Her culinary skills were superb. The chefs of the imperial kitchen had used all their skills, afraid that the Empress would find fault with them.

The ministers who came to attend the wedding banquet were lucky. Who could eat the dishes made by the imperial chef at the wedding banquet? This was the first time.

Su Qing’s table was filled with their family members. Qin Feng sat at the head of the table while Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu sat on the left side of Qin Feng.

The old Daoist, Zhou Bo, sat on the right side of the old man. Su Hanxuan and his wife, Luan Qingshan and his wife, Zhang Jinglin and Luan Hong, and finally, the three children.

Yun’ er and Luan Hong’s son hit it off at first sight. The two children chatted happily in their child-like language!

“The big bird that Father made can fly into the sky. Come, I’ll take you to the sky on the big bird.”

Yun’ er gestured to the sky with her chubby hands as she spoke with a smile.

Luan Hong’s son, Zhang Qirui, had a braid on his head. His small face was round, and his eyes were round. He was as fat as a small ball. He was six months younger than Yun’ er, and his voice was unclear, but it did not prevent him from communicating with Yun1 er. The little guy smiled at Yun’ er and said,

“Okay, you can take me to the sky on a big bird tomorrow.”

Su Qing facepalmed. Not only was Yun ‘er mischievous, but she also wanted to drag Zhang Qirui into the ditch.

“Sister, look at how happy they are chatting. My son usually doesn’t talk much. He needs someone to guide him. Yun’ er is talking, and Rui’ er is talking more.” Luan Hong looked at her precious son with a smile. Her stomach was bulging, and her second child was about to be born. She liked Yun ‘er too much and hoped to give birth to a daughter as cute as Yun1 er.

Su Qing’s lips twitched, and she said stiffly,

“… I’m afraid you won’t say that in the future.”

“Impossible!”

Luan Hong replied confidently. Yun’ er would be able to bring Rui’ er up. She loved to smile so much. When she saw Yun1 er smile, she could not help but laugh with her!

Later, Luan Hong understood why her sister had so many doubts.

Looking at her son, who was about to lift the roof, Luan Hong sincerely doubted life. The princess had brought Rui ‘er up a little too lively…

These were all things to be discussed later. The imperial chefs continued to serve the dishes on the table. The dishes on the Emperor’s table were fragrant and beautiful. There were carved dragons and phoenixes, all kinds of flowers vying to spit out beautiful flowers, carp leaping over the dragon gate, and so on. They were all beautiful.

The other tables also had carvings, but they only used a carving of a pair of swallows to add a little more grandeur.

The dishes were even more different. Xiao Zeyu’s table was filled with delicacies, while the officials’ table was filled with dishes of a lower cla.s.s. It was still a few grades higher than the wedding banquets they had eaten elsewhere.

Most importantly, they were eating in the same courtyard as the Emperor. It was not like a banquet held in the Imperial Palace. The Emperor and the Empress sat high above at the small table, not daring to eat or drink. Today, the Emperor and the Empress were having fun with the people.

The banquet had already started, but Zhong Yong was still in the bridal chamber. The moment he entered the bridal chamber, he wanted to remove Jiang Yuyan’s veil..
