before leaving, tang guixi was worried that the embroidered shoes on her feet would not be easy to ride in, so she temporarily changed them to boots.
when yu niaoniao sent tang guixi out of the generalâs mansion, she saw a large group of black heads.
looking closely, werenât these the soldiers of the eastern expedition army?
they were dressed in armor and stood upright. their aura was fierce, as if they could go into battle in the next moment.
yu niaoniao was shocked. âwhatâs going on? is there going to be another
battle?â
tang guixi explained, âthereâs no battle. these soldiers are accompanying me to prince minâs mansion to pick up the groom.â
yu niaoniao was dumbfounded.
âyouâre bringing the eastern expedition army to pick up the groom?â
with their formation, those who were in the know would know that they were going to pick up the bridegroom. those who did not know would think that they were going to bathe in blood to kill the enemy.
it was simply out of character!
tang guixi was very proud. âdidnât you say that a wedding needs a sense of ceremony? look, the soldiers of the three armies are accompanying me to pick up the groom. no oneâs wedding can be more ceremonial than ours, right?â
yu niaoniao held her forehead. âthatâs not what i mean by a sense of ceremony.â
tang guixi was puzzled. âthen what do you mean?â
yu niaoniao did not know how to explain. she felt deeply powerless.
xiao juan reminded them, âleave quickly. donât miss the auspicious time.â
yu niaoniao waved at tang guixi. what tang guixi didnât know couldnât hurt her.
âthatâs it. go, go. go get your groom.â
âalright!â
tang guixi walked down the steps with her head held high.
granny xiu yan suddenly shouted, âwait, i havenât put on the red veil!â
she wanted to put the red veil on tang guixi.
tang guixi was unwilling.
âyou canât ride with this. forget it.â
with that, she walked to the horse.
she thought her dress was in the way and lifted it up and tucked it into her belt, revealing the red silk pants underneath.
what was revealed was her out-of-place black boots.
yu niaoniao, who had witnessed this scene, was speechless.
she covered her eyes. she couldnât stand it.
tang guixi raised her arms and shouted, âboys of the eastern expedition army, follow me to pick up the groom!â
the soldiers of the eastern expedition army shouted in unison, âokay! !!â
their loud voices shot into the sky and resounded throughout xingning city.
yu niaoniao looked at the mighty eastern expedition army and could only pray for shen xu in her heart, hoping that he would not be frightened by this scene.
when the citizens in the city saw the eastern expedition army appear, they were shocked.
like yu niaoniao, their first reaction was to think that there was going to be another war. after asking around, they found out that today was the day of general tangâs marriage. the eastern expedition army was going to pick up the bridegroom.
many commoners followed behind the eastern expedition army, planning to watch the commotion.
the mighty team passed through several streets and finally stopped in front of prince minâs mansion.
when prince min heard that the bridal escort team had arrived, he hurriedly ran out to welcome them. in the end, as soon as he went out, he was shocked by the majestic eastern expedition army.
he held the door frame and asked nervously, âwhatâs wrong? is there going to be another war?â
tang guixi dismounted and casually pulled out her skirt. she raised her hand and bowed to prince min.
âyour highness, thereâs no war. weâre here to pick up the groom.â
prince min heaved a sigh of relief. âiâm glad thereâs no war.â
he stood up straight and wanted to say something to admonish his daughter-in-law, such as abiding by the rules of a woman and helping her husband and children, but when he saw the murderous eastern expedition army behind her, he swallowed the words.
âforget it, forget it. letâs not talk about this nonsense.â
anyway, she wouldnât listen.
prince min cleared his throat and spoke seriously, âgeneral tang, please sit inside.â
tang guixi waved her hand. âno need. weâll leave after taking the groom. also, youâre an elder. just call me by my name in the future.â
prince min stammered, ât-then alright.â
after a while, shen xu walked out.
he was wearing a bright red round-necked brocade robe today. he had a golden crown on his head and a jade belt at his waist. he walked with his head held high, his eyes bright, and he looked high-spirited.
shen xu was stunned when he saw tang guixi and blurted out a question,
âwhy didnât you use a fan or put on a veil?â
tang guixi said, âitâs not easy to ride with that thing.â
shen xu looked behind her and realized that she had not come in a bridal sedan but on horseback.
how should he put it? it was as expected of his wife. even her wedding style was exceptionally different.
however, shen xu was still a little disappointed. âif thereâs no veil, i wonât be able to lift it for you later.â
in the end, it lacked the joy of marriage.
tang guixi said casually, âitâs not a big deal! when we return to the generalâs mansion, iâll get someone to bring a veil over.â
shen xuâs eyes lit up. âthatâs great!â
prince min, who was listening to their conversation, was speechless.
âthe bride wore a red veil to express her shyness. why did it change when it came to you? you could actually put the veil on during the wedding. the two of you are smart enough to think of such a smart move. itâs simply unprecedented!â
prince min suppressed his stomach full of complaints and forced a smile.
âitâs getting late. leave.â tang guixi said, âcome with us.â
prince min was puzzled. âwhy?â
tang guixi said, âwe still have to serve you tea during the wedding later.â prince min was very surprised.
he had always thought that shen xu had married into the family. according to the rules, he could not follow his daughter-in-law to her house, let alone be served tea.
prince min suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, âwhy are you still serving me tea?â
tang guixi said matter of factly.
âmy parents are no longer around, and ah xuâs mother has long passed away. now that youâre the only elder between the two of us, who else can we serve tea to if not you? letâs go. niaoniao and the others are still waiting for us.â
prince min replied forcefully, âokay!â
then he said, âwait a minute. iâll get something. iâll be back soon.â
with that, he quickly ran into the princeâs residence.
shen xu shouted at him, âjust get someone else to get it. why do you have to get it yourself?â
prince min did not turn around and ignore him. in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared.
it took a while to see prince min run back. dantinz.
he was carrying something in his arms.
shen xu recognized it at a glance and blurted out, âisnât this motherâs memorial tablet?â
prince min hugged the memorial tablet like a baby and smiled. âtoday is your wedding day. you have to let your mother witness it.â then, he looked at tang guixi and asked nervously, âis this okay?â
tang guixi said, âof course! â
the firecrackers at the entrance of the princeâs mansion were lit. amidst the crackling sounds, the bridal escort team changed direction and returned majestically.
by the time they reached the generalâs mansion, everything was ready.
tang guixi and shen xu walked into the generalâs mansion under the blessings of everyone.
prince min was invited to the main seat.
he carefully placed his wifeâs memorial tablet on the table beside him.
there were also two memorial tablets on the table. they belonged to tang guixiâs father and mother..
