A Prince's Endless Indulgence-Chapter 1054 - 88, Wedding Ceremony (6

Across the alley from the Han Residence

The slender Dai Hanbo slowly turned around, wiped away the sorrow from his face, left the city, and headed towards Huguo Temple.

Now that his life’s wishes were fulfilled, he had no more attachments, and it seemed fitting to spend the rest of his life with the serenity of the ancient temple.

Han Tianci, along with some of his cousins and siblings from the Han Family, were to escort the bride, so they waited until the last dowry cart left the Han Residence before they too set out.

People expected a plentiful dowry, yet contrary to assumptions, there were only a hundred and twenty carts, aligning precisely with the precedent for a Princess, with not one extra.

How wealthy Han Jinnian was, everyone in the Capital City knew it. Where did all her money go?

Officials of all ranks brought their families to the Prince Rui Residence to attend the celebration banquet. As the Prime Minister, the Yun Family naturally attended. Mrs. He, as the Prime Minister’s wife, was courted by many and took the opportunity to inquire about family backgrounds, hoping to find a suitable match for her two daughters.

Old Madam Yun brought Xu Xinmo, Zhu Yan, and Zhu Yue, surrounded by many old ladies who praised the three for their beauty. However, Zhu Yan knew these ladies held minimal noble titles, as those of true status and high esteem were in another room, sipping tea, awaiting the bride’s arrival.

Eventually, hearing the crackling of firecrackers, everyone knew, "The bridal procession has returned, let’s go see the excitement!"

"Let’s go!" Old Madam Yun responded, taking Xu Xinmo by the hand.

Now she found herself with a headache.

Xu Xinmo’s marriage prospects had not materialized. She hoped to match Xu Xinmo with the Fifth Prince’s residence, yet had never found the opportunity to discuss it with her son.

Even if she couldn’t become the main wife, she could at least be a Concubine.

Leading the group from the other side was the Grand Princess Zhending, followed by Princess Lin’an and Princess Linping, along with the Loyal Commandery Princess and several Commandery Princesses, Princesses, and Imperial Concubines.

Old Madam Yun’s group quickly stepped aside.

The Grand Princess Zhending did not even spare a glance.

Old Madam Yun’s face slightly changed.

After the Grand Princess Zhending walked away, several old ladies commented, "The Grand Princess Zhending truly carries herself with grace!"

"Indeed, she is the chief wedding officiant today!" The Grand Princess Zhending...

Zhu Yan’s face changed dramatically.

In a previous life, wasn’t the Grand Princess Zhending already dead?

She had passed away many years ago.

Furthermore, in a previous life, His Highness Prince Rui was not even married at this time.

And it certainly wasn’t to Yun Jinnian...

Why was there such a significant change?

Zhu Yan couldn’t understand it and could only follow the crowd to the front courtyard.

By the time they arrived, several layers of people had already gathered inside and out.

The maids in the front held baskets, and as Chu Yu led Jinnian inside, they began scattering flower petals.

The fragrant rose petals were deeply red and incredibly beautiful.

"It’s truly romantic!"

"Yes, it’s so enviable!"

Zhu Yan watched, pursed her lips, and looked around, finally spotting Chu Liange among the nobles and imperial family.

But he no longer appeared as the spirited figure of before; he now seemed somewhat desolate.

Zhu Yan’s gaze was so intense and focused that when Chu Liange looked over, he saw Zhu Yan, slightly furrowed his brow, and turned his head away.

"First bow to Heaven and Earth!"

"Second bow to the departed Emperor!"

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

"The ceremony is complete, escort them to the bridal chamber!"

The newlyweds were ushered into the bridal chamber amidst a throng of attendants.

Jinnian sat on the bridal bed, listening to the noise outside the red bridal veil, and then she felt the veil being lifted.

Her first sight was the exquisitely handsome Chu Yu, looking at her with a smile, and she returned the smile.

"Little Aunt-in-law is truly beautiful!"

"Is this an immortal descended to earth?"

Chu Yu looked over with a smile, causing everyone to burst into laughter, "His Highness is indeed protective!"

"Stop teasing, go drink your wine, I’ll join shortly!"
