The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 693: The Wedding Ceremony

Gu Yunjiao got up and gave a deep bow again before stepping out and getting into the bridal sedan chair.

Gu Yuheng watched his daughter’s figure disappear into the sedan through his fingers, weeping even more uncontrollably.

Gu Chuan, who had cried earlier, was feeling better now. He glanced at his father sideways, "Stop crying, sister said, she’ll definitely be visiting Renxin Hall in just two or three days."

Gu Yuheng wiped away his tears, "I know, it’s just that—"

Gu Chuan sighed, "Father, you’re a man, how can you be so fond of crying!"

As the father and son were talking, Gu Yunjiao’s sedan chair had already left.

Jiang Youzhi rode a black tall horse, walking slowly in front of the bridal sedan.

The penetrating sound of the suona attracted a crowd of onlookers along the street.

Gu Yunjiao sat upright inside the sedan, listening to the conversations outside, "Whose family is having a wedding? Such grandeur!"

"The Duke Mansion! Just yesterday, I saw the dowry being sent from that house over to the Duke Mansion."

"Isn’t that the Young Master on the horse?"

"Seems so, tsk tsk, the Young Master is really handsome."

"Handsome, but you can only feast your eyes on him."

Gu Yunjiao’s lips curled up inside the sedan as she listened to the two women bantering.

After walking for a while, the sound of the suona paused.

Unknown how much time passed, the cheerful, lively sound of the suona started again, and Gu Yunjiao knew they were probably nearing their destination.

Before long, someone outside shouted, "Stop the sedan!"

Gu Yunjiao became a bit flustered and quickly used a round fan to cover her face.

Then the sedan door was gently nudged, and the wedding maid lifted the sedan curtain, with two maidservants promptly stepping forward to assist Gu Yunjiao out.

Once out, Gu Yunjiao’s hand was given a red silk ribbon by the wedding maid, with the other end held by Jiang Youzhi.

He led Gu Yunjiao slowly forward.

The sedan stopped outside the main hall, where guests who came to offer their congratulations filled the area.

Those allowed into the main hall to witness the ceremony must be distinguished guests, including some of Jiang Zhongxing’s subordinates and several lower-ranking officials from the Capital City, who at this moment could only witness from outside.

Gu Yunjiao, held by the red silk, was slowly led into the main hall.

In the upper part of the main hall, three chairs were placed, with the Princess sitting in the middle, the Duke, and Lady Wu on either side.

The three had delighted smiles on their faces.

The ceremony officiant was an official from the Ministry of Rites, and just as he was about to loudly announce the new couple’s bow ritual, Housekeeper Lin suddenly hurried in and loudly declared, "Reporting to the Princess, to the Duke, to the Lady, the Empress has sent a congratulatory gift."

Gu Yunjiao and Jiang Youzhi both bowed in the direction of the Imperial Palace.

The guests couldn’t help but feel a bit envious, not for the gift, but for this honor.

After all, besides the Empress’s family members marrying, no other family in the Capital City has ever received a gift from the Empress.

The officiant then announced, "New couple, bow for the ceremony."

"First bow to Heaven and Earth—"

"Second bow to the parents—"

"Husband and wife bow to each other—"

Gu Yunjiao thought the wedding process, compared to modern times, was quite simple.

She had attended several weddings before, having to listen to the host’s long-winded speech, and then the parents of the bride and groom would say even more, and by the time they finished, the food on the tables would be cold!

Gu Yunjiao was daydreaming when she suddenly felt the red silk gently tugged. She returned to her senses and followed behind Jiang Youzhi towards the bridal chamber.

The bridal chamber was right next to Jiang Youzhi’s courtyard, filled with many womenfolk, including Mrs. Chen and San Ya. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Seeing the couple enter, Mrs. Chen couldn’t help but wipe her eyes.

Once in the bridal chamber, the wedding maid arranged the couple to sit neatly on the bed edge.

The wedding maid then shouted, "Groom, lift the bride’s veil."
