After being expelled from the palace, she returned with her cub and amazed the whole city

Time flies, and the long-awaited wedding day of the emperor has arrived in a blink of an eye.

After a heavy snowfall in the capital, the sky soon cleared up.

The branches on both sides of the street from Wumen to Jiangfu were tied with red silk, which fluttered in the wind, and it was extremely festive.

The streets were full of people from the capital. Everyone was looking forward to it, and they all wanted to witness the grand occasion of the emperor marrying the queen.

The Jiangfu was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the maids and servants were busy in an orderly manner. Everyone had smiles on their faces, and the whole Jiangfu was filled with a festive atmosphere.

Su Huairen, Hu Qing and the Zhang brothers were busy with various affairs.

Madam Su and Du Yutong were responsible for receiving the ladies and young ladies who came to congratulate and add makeup.

Seeing her daughter-in-law smiling and treating people calmly and freely.

Madam Su was not only full of joy, but also a little guilty. Her daughter-in-law had just got married and had to set up a household in Jiangzhou alone. In a short period of time, she seemed to have become a different person.

Mature, steady and capable, Madam Su liked her daughter-in-law the more she looked at her.

Seeing her daughter-in-law busy in and out without stopping for a moment, Madam Su went up and pulled her aside, saying gently: "Tong'er, you and Ajin just returned to the capital yesterday. You are tired from the journey. You can go to the inner courtyard to rest. Here, mother, your aunt, and Madam Zhen will take care of it."

"Mom, it's okay. Ajin and I went to bed early last night. Now we are in good spirits." Du Yutong held Madam Su's hand affectionately, smiling, like a caring little cotton-padded jacket.

Madam Su couldn't persuade her, so she had to continue to work together.

For the emperor's wedding, all civil and military officials only needed to attend the banquet in the palace.

In order to get closer to Jiang Shuyue, the officials' wives came to the door to give her dowry gifts.

Fortunately, everyone went to the street to watch the ceremony after giving the dowry gifts, otherwise there would be no place to accommodate the guests in the front hall.

It's not that the front hall of Jiang's house is not big enough, it's that the front hall and the side hall are full of betrothal gifts.

Lin Miaoshou, Su Jin and Su Nan looked at the betrothal gifts in the room and were helpless.

"Ajin, look at the emperor sending so many betrothal gifts, the front hall and the passage are blocked tightly, and Yue's dowry is still in the inner courtyard. What should we do?"

Su Jin also had a headache. He didn't know what the emperor was thinking. Yesterday, he sent 180 loads of betrothal gifts in one breath, and each load was solid.

Su Jin thought for a while and said, "When the guards arrive, send the betrothal gifts in the front hall out first, and the dowry will go out later."

"Brother, what you said makes sense. Sister will live in the palace in the future. The betrothal gifts will naturally be sent to the Pepper House together with the dowry. Anyway, they are all in Sister's private warehouse. It doesn't matter whether the dowry is left or not."

"Brother, you and Uncle Lin will be busy first. I will carry Sister to the sedan chair."

Su Nan said and walked quickly to the backyard.

In Xingyue Courtyard, Zhan Shuzhen arrived at Jiang's house early but was completely unable to help.

The Queen Mother specially arranged for the maid to put on makeup for the bride.

"Sister Jiang, you are so beautiful today!" Zhan Shuzhen couldn't help but exclaimed after watching the maid put on makeup.

All the maids were attracted by the beauty of the bride, and everyone couldn't help but secretly take a second look.

Her figure was perfectly outlined in an exquisite and gorgeous shawl.

Her hair was meticulously arranged, and the most amazing thing was the phoenix crown, which was hollowed out with exquisite craftsmanship and the gems inlaid on it sparkled.

The tassels hanging on both sides added a bit of mystery and charm.

The corners of her lips were slightly raised, revealing the joy and reserve of the bride, and the beauty mole between her eyebrows was like a cuckoo crying blood, red without any touch.

Her beauty was like a peony, with a national beauty, noble and elegant, and like an epiphyllum, with a subtle fragrance.

Jiang Shuyue looked at herself in the bronze mirror, looking radiant. She adjusted the heavy phoenix crown.

Qiuju came up to her and whispered in her ear: "Miss, do you think it's too heavy?"

"Yes, it's too heavy."

Qiuju glanced at the hourglass on the table, "Miss, bear with it, the wedding procession will be here soon."

At this time, Su Nan's voice came from outside the door, "Sister, the wedding procession is here."

A nanny took out a red veil embroidered with gold thread from the tray in the hands of the palace maid.

"Madam, prepare to get on the sedan chair." The nanny was respectful. Seeing Jiang Shuyue nodded, she carefully covered the wedding veil.

Su Nan, who was waiting outside the door, stepped in with a brisk step. Now he was much taller than Jiang Shuyue.

He squatted down, "Sister, I'll carry you to the bridal sedan."

Jiang Shuyue's eyes were hot, and she leaned over and put her hands on Su Nan's shoulders, "If Nan Nan can't carry you anymore, let me get down."

Jiang Shuyue was secretly annoyed. If she had known that getting married would tire Su Nan, she should have been firm when Xiao Jingzhao picked up food for her. In just a short time, she felt that she had gained weight.

"Don't worry, sister, I can carry you."

Surrounded by the crowd, Su Nan carried Jiang Shuyue out of the inner courtyard.

In the hall of Jiang's mansion, the guards sent by the palace were carrying the dowry out.

Xiang Song and Xiang Yang were dressed in casual clothes today, riding horses and waiting on both sides of the bridal sedan.

In front of the bridal sedan was a ceremonial guard, including drummers.

The emperor followed the etiquette of marrying the queen, and the bridal sedan to welcome the bride was decorated with a large phoenix sedan.

The phoenix sedan was surrounded by festive decorations, with a long red silk hanging on the top and big red flowers made of red silk hanging on the four sedan pillars, which was both solemn and festive.

The street opposite the Jiang Mansion was crowded with people.

When the bride came out, firecrackers rang out, drums and music sounded, and everyone stepped back and stretched their heads to look.

The phoenix sedan was surrounded by red gauze fluttering, and the bride was covered with a veil. Everyone could only vaguely see the graceful figure sitting in the sedan in a gorgeous shawl.

A voice said, "Lift the sedan!"

The phoenix sedan chair went towards the palace gate.

With tears of joy in her eyes, Madam Su whispered to the departing sedan chair, "Yue'er, you must be happy."

Including the betrothal gifts, the total dowry was 240 loads. The first load just entered the palace gate, and the last load left the Jiang Mansion.

The ten-mile red dowry made many women envious, and the people watching on both sides of the street were amazed. Everyone could see how much the emperor valued the queen.

With the arrival of the sedan chair, the whole palace was immersed in jubilation. The emperor had already stood in front of the Kunning Palace in a dragon robe waiting.

Just as the maid was about to help the bride get off the sedan chair, Xiao Jingzhao walked over in two steps.

"Yue Niang."

He stretched out his hand.

Jiang Shuyue looked at the affectionate man through the thin veil, and she slowly put her hand into his palm.

Amid the sound of drums and music, the two walked into the hall side by side.

After entering the palace, the real scholar began to recite the blessing, praying for the gods of heaven and earth to bless the emperor and the queen with happiness and peace.

Then the two worshiped heaven and earth.

The emperor and the queen mother accepted their kneeling and couldn't wait to signal Aunt Cai to send them to the bridal chamber.

After entering the Kunning Palace, Xiao Jingzhao dismissed all the maids and nannies in the palace.

"Yueniang, you are tired." Xiao Jingzhao couldn't wait to lift the veil.

Although he knew how beautiful his bride was, Xiao Jingzhao was still amazed by Jiang Shuyue's beauty today.

"Yueniang, you are so beautiful."

Jiang Shuyue glanced at the huge bedroom, and the festive red color was everywhere.

She raised her hand to support the heavy phoenix crown on her head, "It's too heavy, my neck is almost broken."

"Yueniang, don't move, I'll help you take off the phoenix crown." Xiao Jingzhao knew that the phoenix crown was heavy, so he didn't let the maids and nannies stay to perform the tedious bridal chamber etiquette.

The phoenix crown was removed, and the person in front of him had skin as white as cream and eyes as clear as water, which made him intoxicated at a glance.

Xiao Jingzhao took the wedding wine and put it in Jiang Shuyue's hand, "Yueniang, from today on, you are my wife, the only queen. I have been looking forward to this day for a long time. It is my blessing to be able to fulfill my wish today. I will love you for the rest of my life, until..."

"Shh! You are the emperor, and your words are golden. Today is our big day. Let's talk about this life and not the next life." Before Xiao Jingzhao finished speaking, Jiang Shuyue hurriedly pressed his lips with her fingers.

The four eyes met, full of affection.

The two tilted their heads and drank a cup of wedding wine.

"A Zhao, Sui Sui he..."

"Yueniang, my son is taken care of by my mother and father. Tonight belongs only to you and me."

Xiao Jingzhao said, pulling Jiang Shuyue's hand and walking towards the dragon bed.

I don't know if it's because I'm too excited or because I've drunk too much, but Xiao Jingzhao feels like there's a fire in his dantian that's about to swallow up his reason.

At this moment, silence is better than words. On the red carpet in front of the dragon couch, the dragon robe and the shawl are entangled in layers.

In the bridal chamber, the red candles flicker, the red waves roll, the hibiscus tent is warm for the spring night, the zither and the harp are in harmony all night, the beauty is in his arms, he is reluctant to refuse but also welcomes her, Xiao Jingzhao finally understands the taste of the king not attending the court early from now on.
