He bent down and kissed her lips again before tidying her collar and helping her put on the heavy emerald Qizhai crown, then held her hands up and said. Lets go.
Wait! Qin Jiu hastily pulled him back.
Facing her puzzled eyes, she took out a water-red-colored handkerchief, stood tiptoe, and gently wiped off the bright lipstick on his lips for him, carefully destroying the evidence and removing the traces.
Despite this, his thin lips still appeared slightly redder than usual, exuding a demonic and seductive aura.
A bewitching and confusing vixen.
These words inexplicably appeared in Qin Jius mind when Gu Zezhi pulled her out.
As she walked, she suddenly recalled something.
Thats not right!
She remembers the two maids who came from the palace, repeatedly telling her about the wedding ceremony. Although the Daqi Dynasty did not have the custom of disturbing the privacy of the bridal chamber, when picking up the veil, the Quanfu people should not go out of the outer room. Also should they not drink Hejin wine later, and then the groom quickly go out to toast?
Was this not in line with etiquette?
Qin Jiu could not help but feel a little confused with the arrangements, she raised her gaze to look at Gu Zezhi, who was walking side by side with her. A young man with picturesque features had a calm demeanor and was as gentle as the jade.
Qin Jiu knew that his gentleness was just a mask, like a floating cloud.
Forget it. She did not know anything.
As she was lost her thoughts, her mind became empty.
The two of them arrived at the open space in front of the wedding hall. Great Eunuch Zhou Xin was waiting for them, and there was also a group of small eunuchs accompanying him, one of whom held the scroll of the imperial edict. Madam Xiao was also there, talking to Zhou Xin when she saw the newlyweds approaching, her smile deepened, and looked at them with a kind and teasing gaze.
Congratulations, wangye, wangfei. Zhou Xin cupped his hands towards the newlyweds, showing a friendly smile on his beardless face.
Gu Zezhi curtsied back, and following that, he, Qin Jiu, and Madam Xiao knelt for Zhou Xin to deliver the imperial edict. By heavens decree, the emperor proclaimed
The beginning of the imperial edict was about the rewards for his officials.
Overall, the edict was about Qin Jiu, who was officially conferred the title of County Princess.
On the day of marriage, the emperor bestowed this imperial decree, which was a sign of the emperors respect for the two. This decree also allowed guests who attended the banquet today to know that the County Kings wife was in the heart of the emperor.
Not only did the imperial edict come, but various rewards from Empress Wei and Empress Dowager Liu, like various gold, silver, jade ornaments, silk, and brocades, all of which were given to Qin Jiu, which the latter immediately thanked.
The County Kings mansion sent off wave after wave of palace servants who came with rewards for the newly married couple, and all the guests saw this.
After finally sending the third wave of palace servants, the sky had already darkened, and the festive red lanterns were all lit up in the courtyard, swaying in the wind-like fireflies.
Qin Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and observed a moment of silence for her poor knees. Today, starting from bidding farewell to her grandmother at the Qin family, to the wedding hall, and then to the reception and finally receiving the edict, she has never knelt so many times a day in her entire life.
