171 Wedding Ceremony

She was willing, but Shen Junzhi was unwilling.

Feng Lianghan did not want to force him, so the marriage of the two children was over. Although Yu Niaoniao was a little disappointed, she was not very sad.Since they could not become husband and wife, they would continue to be siblings.

They would live their lives as usual. She was still chasing Shen Junzhi everywhere, calling him brother sincerely.

The carriage continued forward, the distance between them widening.

Previously, Shen Junzhi had asked her if she would agree to marry him if he promised to take care of her for the rest of her life.

The answer was actually already there.

But he didn’t know, and she didn’t want to mention it again.

Yu Niaoniao looked away.

Time could not go back. Life could not be redone.

Some people were forever unattainable once missed.

Shen Junzhi watched helplessly as the bridal escort team left.

He could not resist taking two steps forward but was quickly stopped by the manservant.

“Young Master, forget it.”

Shen Junzhi held the silver earring tightly in his hand. The earring pierced his palm, but the pain was not even one ten-thousandth of the pain in his heart.

He knew it was time for him to let go. But the scariest thing about relationships was that they were uncontrollable. Even though his palm was pierced and the pain was piercing, he was still unwilling to let go.

… .

Granny Xiu Yan had been standing at the entrance of Langjun Imperial and craning her neck to look.

When she saw the bridal party return, she immediately greeted them.

“Quick, quick, quick! Release the firecrackers!”

The firecrackers were lit and crackled. Gongs, drums, and trumpets sounded.

Langjun Imperial Palace had never been so lively. The entire mansion was filled with a festive atmosphere.

Xiao Juan dismounted and strode to the carriage. He reached out and lifted the curtain.

He spoke to the bride in the carriage.

“Niaoniao, we’re home.”

His voice was low and powerful, but it revealed an unprecedented gentleness.

Yu Niaoniao held the fan in her left hand and extended her right.

Niuaoniao put her hand in his big palm.

Xiao Juan held her hand tightly and immediately frowned. “Why is your hand so hot?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I’m fine. It’s just a little hot.”

Xiao Juan could hear the hoarseness in her voice and became even more worried.

“Are you sick?”

Yu Niaoniao was indeed very uncomfortable. She had soaked in the cold river water for so long and returned to the Yu Residence drenched. Even if she drank ginger soup after that, it was not very useful.

Her head was spinning now. Her throat itched. Her limbs ached. Her body alternated between cold and hot.

But the wedding had to go on.

She had to grit her teeth and held on, trying her best to pretend that nothing was wrong. She even urged him, “I’m really fine. Help me walk.”

Xiao Juan frowned. His already cold face immediately became even more domineering.

When the Eagle Guards nearby saw this, they thought that Duke Lang had a conflict with the princess consort. They were all worried that Duke Lang would flare up.

At this moment, Granny Xiu Yan walked over quickly. “Everyone is waiting. Why hasn’t the princess consort gotten out of the car?”

Seeing that Duke Lang was standing still, Yu Niaoniao decided to lean out of the car and get out.

However, before she could take a step, she was picked up by Duke Lang.

Yu Niaoniao was shocked and could not help but exclaim.

“Ah!”

Everyone was also stunned.

Usually, the groom would help the bride get out of the car. Who would carry her directly?

No matter how much Duke Lang wanted to get close to the princess consort, he had to consider the occasion. There were so many eyes watching!

In order to maintain her balance, Yu Niaoniao had no choice but to hug Duke Lang’s neck with one hand and still hold the fan with the other.

At this moment, she did not forget to cover her face with her fan. At the same time, she lowered her voice and said to Duke Lang.

“Put me down now.”

Granny Xiu Yan also felt that this was ridiculous. She hurriedly said, “Let me support the county princess.”

Xiao Juan said in a low voice, “Niaoniao is sick. Go and call the doctor to the backyard.”

With that, he carried Yu Niaoniao and strode into Langjun Imperial Palace.

Granny Xiu Yan was worried about the princess consort’s health and did not dare to delay. She hurriedly went to look for the doctor.

Seeing this, everyone felt that this wedding was strange.

However, the wedding had to continue. The Sixth Prince, Shen Rui, also entered the mansion. Then, Meng Xizhou called the Eagle Guards into the mansion to attend the ceremony.

Due to Duke Lang’s bad popularity in the court, no one was willing to congratulate him.

Fortunately, the Eagle Guards were very supportive and prepared congratulatory gifts when they came.

The gifts were sent into the royal residence like flowing water, making the wedding look especially lively.

The interior of the Langjun Imperial Palace was decorated with lights and streamers. The main hall was decorated as an auditorium.

Xiao Juan originally wanted to carry Yu Niaoniao directly to the backyard and let the doctor treat her.

Yu Niaoniao grabbed his collar firmly.

“We’ll go through the ceremony first!”

She had risked her life to rush back to get married. She could not let the wedding end halfway.

If nothing unexpected happened, this would be the only wedding in her life. It could be considered a glorious moment in her life.

She had to finish the process no matter what!

Xiao Juan said, “You’re sick now. You have to see a doctor as soon as possible.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “If we don’t get married, we won’t be a legal couple. Don’t you want me to marry into your family legitimately?”

Xiao Juan could not dissuade her and could only carry her into the hall.

He lowered Yu Niaoniao to the ground.

However, because her limbs were weak, Yu Niaoniao almost lost her balance when she landed. Her body swayed slightly.

Xiao Juan immediately reached out and hugged her waist. At the same time, he secretly exerted strength and pulled her towards him.

In this way, she leaned against him.

At the wedding, the couple was so intimate as if no one was around. They had no intention of avoiding each other.

Everyone watching the ceremony was already numb. They pretended they were blind and saw nothing.

Sixth Prince Shen Rui was the witness.

According to the rules, he had to recite the congratulatory words before the wedding.

The congratulatory speech had been prepared long ago. Shen Rui had just taken out his small notebook and was about to speak when he was ruthlessly interrupted by Duke Lang.

“There’s no need to read it. We’ll just get married.”

Shen Rui was speechless.

He had seen people who were anxious, but he had never seen anyone so anxious.

He reminded him quietly, “Everyone’s watching.”

As a duke, he had to care about his image. However, Xiao Juan did not appreciate it and said firmly.

“Hurry up.”

Right now, he was focused on bringing Niaoniao to the doctor as soon as possible. He wanted to save on those complicated procedures.

As for what others would think of him because of this? He didn’t care. Shen Rui had no choice but to put away his small book.

“Alright, alright. Do whatever you want.”

It wasn’t his wedding anyway. Why should he care?!

Dang Gui took the red silk flowers from others and handed one end to Duke Lang and the other to the princess.

Shen Rui cleared his throat and announced loudly.

“Bow to the heavens and the earth! Respect the heavens and the earth for a long time!”

Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan faced the world outside the door and slowly knelt down.

“Second bow to your parents! I wish you a long life!”

Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan turned around and knelt in front of the portrait of Eldest Princess Ni Yang.

“Husband and wife bow to each other! Red flowers together, grow old together!”

Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan faced each other.

According to custom, a husband and wife only needed to bow to each other.

However, Xiao Juan lifted the hem of his shirt and knelt down. His actions were straightforward and without any hesitation.
