Chapter 1464: Grand Wedding (2)

Princess Jingning naturally wouldn’t answer this question.

Princess Hui An felt that it was boring and snorted unhappily. “Why are you still hiding it from me? My sidekick is still the most straightforward!”

At the mention of Su Xiaoxiao, the two of them fell silent.

When Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting got married, the two of them sent her off together. When it was their turn to get married, she was no longer in the capital.

“She agreed to come back after exterminating the bandits.”

After Princess Hui An finished muttering, her heart tightened. “Could it be that my sidekick really…”

Princess Jing Ning said, “She’s smart. Nothing will happen to her if anything happens to anyone.”

After knowing her for so many years, Princess Jingning knew Su Xiaoxiao’s abilities very well.

Moreover, it was not a difficult mission to suppress the bandits this time. His Majesty had done it on purpose.

As for why she had not returned after so long, she might have been delayed by something else on the way.

After all, other than being the leader of the Crimson Shadow Army, that girl was also a legitimate physician.

–

Su Xiaoxiao made it in time.

After rushing non-stop for a few days, her black hair was blown up. When Princess Hui An and Princess Jing Ning opened their eyes, they saw a little angry lion panting heavily.

Princess Hui An was speechless.

And so was Princess Jingning.

“Little sidekick!”

Princess Hui An shouted, “Why are you only back now? If you were any later, Jingnng and I would have gotten married!”

Su Xiaoxiao sat down on the chair and took a sip of the cold tea handed over by Taozhi.

“Sorry, sorry, I’m late. I’ll punish myself with three cups!”

Princess Hui An looked at her tired expression and suddenly felt her heart ache. “It’s actually fine to be late…”

Su Xiaoxiao patted her proud chest. “How can that do? I promised you that I would definitely rush back!”

The two princesses were supposed to get married from their respective chambers, but the matter of Princess Hui An secretly coming to look for Princess Jingning last night could not be hidden from the Saint Empress Dowager.

The Saint Empress Dowager had always valued the rules. The palace servants thought that she would do something, but who knew that she only instructed someone to bring Princess Hui An’s things over?

Hence, there was a scene of two women coming to Kunning Palace to dress the two princesses at the same time.

“Ouch! It hurts!”

Princess Hui An’s head was pressed and she cried out in pain.

“Why isn’t she in pain?”

She pointed at the quiet Jingning.

How could Jingning not hurt?

She just did not say anything.

The two women were amused by Princess Hui An’s adorable attitude.

Su Xiaoxiao noticed that Princess Jingning had been staring at her in the bronze mirror without saying anything.

She walked over and bent down to look at Jingning in the bronze mirror. She said softly, “What is Ningning thinking about?”

Princess Jingning opened her mouth but hesitated.

Su Xiaoxiao knew her concerns and said sincerely, “Ningning is so beautiful. Fuma will definitely be mesmerized by Ningning.”

When Princess Hui An heard this, she turned to look at Jingning and was very stunned.

She nodded seriously. “Jingning, I think so too.”

Princess Jingning lowered her eyes and her eyelashes trembled. “Yes.”

Soon, the auspicious time arrived. The two princesses put on their red veils and kowtowed to the Grand Empress Dowager at Zhaoyang Hall with the help of the palace servants. Then, they went to Shoukang Palace to kowtow to the Saint Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager Jing.

The Saint Empress Dowager looked at Empress Dowager Jing, who had sat down beside her uninvited. “You have your own bedroom.”

Empress Dowager Jing waved her hand indifferently. “They’ve been holding it in for three years. The children are holding it in. Don’t let them make two trips!”

Princess Hui An nodded deeply!

The Saint Empress Dowager was speechless.

The princess’ wedding was extraordinary and was handled by the Ministry of Rites. The Imperial City Division and the Imperial Guards protected them the entire time. It was impossible for anyone to disrupt the wedding. Su Cheng would slap them to death!

That’s right. Su Cheng had been promoted and was now the official commander of the Imperial City Division.

Xiao Zhonghua specially handed over the safety of the two princesses’ wedding to him to suppress the Wei family and the Su family.

After all, in the entire capital, only Su Cheng could suppress them.

At the entrance of the palace, two teams were waiting obediently.

A sneaky figure poked his head around the back of the sedan chair.

Su Cheng rode on the tall horse and came behind him indifferently. “Come out.”

Su Li’s body stiffened. “No way… How did you find out…”

Su Cheng grabbed his ear and dragged him out.

Behind his ear, he glanced around and snorted. “And the few of you, haven’t you eaten enough in prison?”

“What does it have to do with me? Big Brother asked me to come! Right, Big Brother!”

Wei Liulang, who was pretending to be a guard, blurted out.

Wei Chen slapped his forehead!

He had tricked you, idiot!

Very good. Before the bride could get into the bridal sedan, the brothers were exposed.

However, this was not the worst.

In the next second, the flawless Jing Yi walked out of the crowd.

Wei Liulang was dumbfounded. “You didn’t expose yourself…”

Jing Yi said honestly, “Oh, I did it for the greater good.”

Wei Liulang was speechless.

And so was Wei Chen.

Su Ergou, Su Qi, Su Yu, Mei Ji, Cheng Xin… were all exposed by Su Cheng’s fiery eyes.

Su Cheng waved his saber and said domineeringly, “With me around, no one can cause a commotion on the two princesses’ wedding day!”

Su Xuan, who was standing at the front of the team, heard the commotion behind him.

He curled his lips and looked at the other emperor’s son-in-law in wedding clothes. He asked, “Brother Qinghe, are you very nervous?”

“No.”

Shen Chuan said calmly, “Brother Su, are you very nervous?”

“No.”

Su Xuan’s tone was calmer.

The head of the Internal Affairs Department, who was standing opposite the two of them, said, “The two top scholars, can you stop digging at the tree bark? The new seedlings are almost bald from the two of you!”

Shen Chuan and Su Xuan paused at the same time.

Su Xuan put down his hand and decisively pushed the blame to Shen Chuan. “He did it.”

Shen Chuan was speechless.

–

According to the rules of the common people, when a sister got married, her brothers would personally send her out of the residence.

Two years ago, Xiao Shunyang was demoted to a commoner by Emperor Jing He for treason. Xiao Duye went to his fief to be an idle prince and could not enter the capital without being summoned.

There were also former fourth, fifth, and sixth princes, but they were clearly not qualified to send the two eldest princesses off to get married.

Emperor Jing He personally came to Shoukang Palace to pick up his two sisters.

When commoners married daughters, they cried their hearts out.

Emperor Jing He thought that he would be able to see a touching scene. Unexpectedly, the women in the hall were each calmer than the other.

Empress Dowager Jing gave her son a look and whispered, “Hurry up and take your sister away!”

It was so annoying. She had raised her for 20 years. If she didn’t get married soon, she would go to heaven!

Princess Hui An tugged at Jing He’s sleeve and urged softly, “Brother, hurry up. I want to see Ah Xuan!”

The corners of Emperor Jing He’s mouth twitched.

On the other side, the Saint Empress Dowager, and Princess Jingning were also calm and composed. Their etiquette was thoughtful with a hint of alienation.

Princess Jingning bowed. “Goodbye, Mother.”

The Saint Empress Dowager’s eyes flickered as they clenched their handkerchiefs.

Emperor Jing He glanced at the mother and daughter and said to the Saint you Dowager, “I met Shen Chuan when I was young. Shen Chuan is someone worth entrusting my life to.”

The corners of the Saint Empress Dowager’s mouth twitched a few times. In the end, she looked at Jingning and said, “Don’t think that I don’t know… You chose him yourself. I hope you won’t regret it in the future.”

Princess Jingning said, “Mother, take care.”

–

In the forest filled with blood mist.

A girl covered in blood but was unable to hide her pride sat on the cold hill with a box.

A weak young man with a face like jade held the water bag and raised his head to take a few sips. He was very careful not to touch the mouth of the bottle.

He looked at the girl under the twilight. “In order to protect this box just now, Miss almost died at the hands of the bandits, but money is just a worldly possession.”

The girl said seriously, “It’s not money, it’s my hometown. I’m going to a faraway place and might not be able to return in my life. If I die one day and bury myself with it, I’ll be buried in peace.”

The young man returned the water bag to her. “Thank you for the water, Miss.”

The girl said, “Take it with you. My men will be here soon. They will bring me a lot of food and water.”

The young man looked at her. “Miss… do you want to go home?”

The girl fell into deep thought, and a hint of struggle appeared in her eyes. Then, she shook her head as if nothing had happened. “I’m tired of home. I heard that the Southern Wilderness is very good. I’ll definitely like that place.”

The young man cupped his hands and bade farewell.

He had sneaked out. It would be terrible if his uncle and grandfather discovered him.

Cough, cough, cough…

It was really uncomfortable to be in poor health.

“Wait.”

The girl called out to him.

“Yes?”

The young man turned around. Because of his cough, a faint flush appeared on his sickly face.

The girl looked at him in a daze for a long time before coming back to her senses. “You really look like an old friend I know… Forget it, it should be a coincidence. What’s your name?”

“Ah Xuan.”

“Huahua, my name is Huahua.”

The young man nodded.

The girl smiled. “I’m going to the Southern Wilderness to get married. I’m getting married.”

The young man nodded politely. “Congratulations.”

“Coming, coming! The bride is here!”

“Move aside. That’s my sister-in-law!”

Su Xuan heard Wei Liulang and Su Li fooling around.

Su Xuan composed himself and looked at the two princesses who walked out of the palace door in phoenix coronets and robes.

Although she was wearing a veil, he still recognized her at a glance.

Her seemingly slow steps belied hide her joy and briskness.

Princess Hui An called out quietly under the veil, “Ah Xuan.”

The crowd surged, but Su Xuan heard it.

He smiled quietly. “Princess, Ah Xuan is here.”

In this life, Ah Xuan had always been there.
