The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 991 - 985 The Grand Wedding

The scorching sun blazed, and she sat in the palanquin, longing to lift the red veil to catch a glimpse of Jin Zijin on horseback. He, today, must be burning with a passion fiercer than the fiery sun itself.

Yet thinking of how much he valued every detail of the wedding, she decided against it.

It wouldn’t do for her to undermine his efforts while he was setting the stage at the front.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Although the tedious formalities of this wedding method were headache-inducing, on the very wedding rites she equally cherished, she could endure anything.

Their wedding location was not Jin Zijin’s former residence, Zhongcui Palace, but the newly refurbished former Crown Prince Residence, now the residence of the first prince.

Once they were married, Jin Zijin would be titled king, and by then, the nameplate would have to be changed.

The Emperor had few sons, only three. The rest were daughters; therefore, for the weddings of his three sons, he personally sat at the upper seat, waiting for his sons and daughters-in-law to kneel and bow.

Three kneels and nine bows later, guided by Xiaobian, who was holding the Dragon and Phoenix Candles, they held the flower ball and entered the bridal chamber.

As they nearly reached the chamber, Gu Youyou felt an unusual sensation under her feet.

She looked down to see a sack made of hemp lying on the ground. There were five of them in total, and they had to walk on these hemp sacks.

This was said to signify the continuation of the family lineage, with five sacks representing five generations under one roof.

Considering that people in ancient times married quite early, seeing five generations together wasn’t uncommon, providing one didn’t die young.

All these ceremonial rituals had been waived for their first wedding.

That time, she was directly carried through the door by him, tossed onto the wooden bed, and then he went out to drink and feast.

Jin Zijin had returned her to the nuptial room and then went out again, waiting until it got dark.

"Miss Gu, are you hungry? The Crown Prince may not come for a while. Shall I discreetly get you something to eat?"

What was a little hunger? Gu Youyou took this wedding seriously.

She replied, "I’m not hungry. You go down too and check on Searcy and the others, don’t cause any trouble."

She was going to get married, naturally arranging for her people to come over in advance.

Only Searcy’s identity was sensitive, and she was genuinely worried that she would cause unnecessary trouble if seen by the Lu Family.

On an ordinary day, she, Gu Youyou, wasn’t one to fear trouble, but on this particular day, she did not wish for any mishaps.

"Alright, I will go check on them."

On the table, a pair of Dragon and Phoenix Candles flickered gently. The sun set in the west, and it became later and later. After a long while, she finally heard the voice of Jin Zijin.

"Everyone, leave; I won’t need any attendance tonight."

"Yes, Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

As his footsteps neared, Gu Youyou’s heart grew more tense.

She felt her face might be getting hot.

Even though they were already very familiar with each other, she began to feel a shyness common to newlyweds.

Right, they were newlyweds, after all. The previous occasion didn’t count since they hadn’t even paid respects to heaven and earth.

They hadn’t even consummated the marriage yet.

Oh, now it was time for the bridal chamber.

Ah, how nerve-wracking.

He picked up a red wedding handkerchief with exquisite embroidery and gently lifted her bright red veil.

Her cheeks, rosy and delicate, suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Seeing her so different for the first time, Jin Zijin paused slightly.

"Your makeup today is quite special," he said.

Gu Youyou felt unbearably embarrassed by her lack of composure, secretly pinching herself and then flashing him a radiant smile, saying, "Change it to a word that makes me happy."
