Chapter 299: The Bride is Switched During the Wedding
Finally, the wedding day arrived. When the sun shone on the earth, red silk fluttered, gongs and drums roared, and the whole city was immersed in a festive atmosphere. Wang Shouren, dressed in a groom's suit and riding a tall horse, led a mighty wedding procession through the streets and alleys, heading towards the bride's home. The lively scene attracted people along the way to stop and watch. At this time, the Lu Mansion was even more lively, with relatives and friends gathered together, and laughter and joy rose one after another.
Luo Ying was wearing a wedding dress and a phoenix crown, looking like a fairy descending from the earth, beautiful and charming. Ying Shuai looked at Luo Ying in her wedding dress and couldn't help but say, "Ying Shuai, you are so beautiful today!"
Shao Hanyue covered her mouth and laughed secretly, teasing Luo Ying, "It's a good thing I didn't let the Third Prince come with you. If he saw you dressed like this today, he would have gone crazy."
Luo Ying glared at Shao Hanyue and said, "You are the only one who talks too much."
Shao Hanyue smiled from ear to ear and quickly covered Luo Ying with a big red veil.
Amid the sound of festive firecrackers, Luo Ying, wearing a red veil, was led out by Shao Hanyue and Xiao Qingxiu and handed to Wang Shouren. Wang Shouren looked at Luo Ying with a red veil, and his hands trembled with excitement, his eyes full of happy smiles. Wang Shouren held Luo Ying's hand and stepped into the bridal sedan, surrounded by the crowd. The wedding procession marched through the bustling streets and headed towards the groom's home.
In the General's Mansion, the whole mansion was immersed in a festive and solemn atmosphere, with red lanterns hung high, colorful lights and decorations, red silk fluttering, and golden plaques shining brightly. Inside and outside the mansion, there was a bustling crowd, laughter and joy, and guests like clouds, dignitaries and literati from all over the world gathered here to share this grand feast.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu, dressed in the general's battle robe and wedding dress, paced back and forth anxiously, looking out the door all the time.
Gui Moyun couldn't help but say, "Master, please stop walking around. It's making my eyes dizzy."
Emperor Zhenwu angrily shouted, "Shut up! How can you understand how I feel at this moment?"
Gui Moyun smiled and said, "I understand, Master, isn't he afraid that the bride will change her mind and run away?"
Emperor Zhenwu glared at him and said, "You are the only one who talks too much."
She Huaichuan rushed in, and the Great Emperor Zhenwu hurried forward and asked, "How is it? Has anyone set off yet?"
She Huaichuan said excitedly: "Their wedding procession has already set out, so we can set out too."
Zhenwu Emperor's eyes lit up and he said eagerly, "Okay, let's go!"
After that, the three of them walked out of the door together, Zhenwu Emperor rode on a tall horse, and a mighty wedding procession set out. Halfway through the wedding procession, Luo Ying called Wang Shouren and told him that he was thirsty and wanted to go to the post station to drink some water.
Wang Shouren hurriedly led the team to the post station and helped Luo Ying down with care.
It happened that another wedding procession also arrived at the post station. The two sedan chairs were placed side by side. Wang Shouren curiously asked the servant: "Whose wedding procession is so grand?"
The servant said respectfully, "It's the wedding procession from the General's Mansion."
Wang Shouren came to the door, took a look at the wedding procession, and frowned as if he was thinking about something.
When he returned to the inn, he did not see Luo Ying, so he hurriedly asked the servant, "Where is the young lady?"
The servant replied, "The young lady has already sat in the bridal sedan. Let's set off quickly so as not to miss the auspicious time."
Wang Shouren opened the curtain and saw Luo Ying already sitting in the sedan chair. He nodded to the servant and said, "Okay! Let's go!"
Then he rode on a big horse and set off in a mighty procession. When Wang Shouren's wedding procession had gone far away, Luo Ying came out from the dark, his heart aching, and he sighed and said, "Master, I hope you won't blame me after you know the truth."
Shao Hanyue came out and glanced at Luo Ying. Seeing that she looked depressed, she covered her mouth and laughed secretly, saying teasingly, "Sister, you are not reluctant to let Lord Cangmo marry someone else, are you?"
Luo Ying was shocked and felt the pain in his heart, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Nonsense! How could that be possible! Master can only successfully transcend the tribulation by marrying a mortal woman. Why would you be reluctant to give her up?"
Xiao Qingxiu suddenly shouted, "The Duke of Zhenguo is here."
The Great Emperor Zhenwu came in hurriedly, took Luo Ying's hand and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm late!"
Luo Ying looked at him, shook his head and said, "It's not too late. If you come too early, my master will recognize you if he runs into you."
Emperor Zhenwu took Luo Ying's hand and said excitedly: "Then let's go!"
Luo Ying nodded, and Shao Hanyue helped her cover her veil.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu carefully helped her into the bridal sedan.
Emperor Zhenwu's face was full of smiles. Shao Hanyue saw his happy expression and joked to him, "Your Majesty, you must be very happy this time!"
The Great Emperor Zhenwu looked at Shao Hanyue meaningfully, but did not answer. He clenched his fists, put them to his lips, and tried to suppress his smile as he quickly walked out of the inn's door, rode a white horse, and led the grand wedding procession back home.
Wang Shouren rode along on his horse and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he shouted to stop the bridal sedan.
The servant was horrified and asked, "Sir, why did you stop? Aren't we supposed to return home at an auspicious time? If we are late, we will miss the auspicious time and the master will blame us."
Wang Shouren jumped off his horse, walked straight to the bridal sedan, opened the curtain, and was about to lift the bride's red veil. The servant hurriedly tried to stop him, saying anxiously: "Sir, you can't lift the bride's veil before the wedding ceremony. It's unlucky."
Wang Shouren saw the servant's panic and became more certain of his guess. He pushed the servant away and pulled down the bride's veil without hesitation, only to find that it was not Luo Ying.
Wang Shouren was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He roared in anger: "Sure enough, you all teamed up to deceive me."
He grabbed the servant by the collar and asked angrily, "Where is she?"
The servant trembled and said, "I...I don't know!"
Thinking of the wedding procession from the General's Mansion, Wang Shouren felt a pang of pain in his heart and said painfully: "You are so cruel that you are willing to marry someone else just to make me give up. "After that, he flicked his sleeves and rode on the white horse.
The servant stopped Wang Shouren's horse and asked, "Sir, where are you going?"
Wang Shouren pulled the horse's reins and shouted angrily, "Get out of here! I'm going to the general's mansion to grab the bride. If it's too late, she'll be someone else's."
The servant was horrified and said, "Sir, you must not go! We can't afford to offend the general who protects the country!"
Wang Shouren said impatiently: "No matter who he is, I will get her back no matter how much it costs today."
The servant asked again: "What should we do if the master blames us?"
Wang Shouren glanced at him and said, "Let him do whatever he wants!"
The servant asked again: "What about the bride in the sedan?"
Wang Shouren said firmly: "Send them back to where you brought them from."
After saying this, he rode away on his white horse.
At this moment, the residence of the general who guards the country was crowded with guests, including dignitaries, scholars, generals and warriors, all dressed up to witness this historic moment. The melodious music and the sound of stringed instruments, accompanied by festive drums and cheerful songs, created a lively and joyful atmosphere. During the entire wedding ceremony, traditional performances such as lion dance and dragon dance continued, which was very lively. The guests raised their glasses and drank, sending the best wishes to the newlyweds. The wedding ceremony was solemn and grand, and every step was carried out strictly in accordance with the etiquette norms of the Ming Dynasty.
Luo Ying wore a phoenix crown and a red veil on her head. She had delicate makeup and elegant temperament, like a fairy descending to the earth. Accompanied by the Great Emperor Zhenwu, she slowly walked into the hall and accepted the blessings and congratulations of everyone. The Great Emperor Zhenwu was dressed in military uniform and looked very heroic. He held Luo Ying's hand tightly, and his heart was very excited. He stared at Luo Ying, who was covered with a red veil, for fear that she would run away from him. His eyes were full of expectations and longings for the future. At the ceremony, the sound of drums and music and the sound of salutes showed the solemnity and grandeur of this wedding.
