Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 579 Wedding Ceremony

It's good that King Li has arrived; that way, the master won't be anxious.

She was really afraid she wouldn't be able to stop it.

"Ah Yue," Mu Yun Chu said, quickly walking in.

"How's it going? Did you drive them back? Did you capture any survivors?"

Mu Yun Chu found Gu Qing Yue's eager question somewhat amusing.

If other girls encountered something like this, they would definitely be terrified or furious, but his little girl is asking questions with such great interest.

He was certain that if she weren't dressed in her wedding gown, she would have run off to the street to watch the spectacle and personally apprehend the culprit.

"It's alright, we've already driven them back and captured a few survivors. We've gotten information out of one of them that the group near the Prince Li's residence was from the Su Shou Alliance. As for the group that stopped the bridal sedan chair, we haven't gotten any information out of them yet."

Knowing that she was concerned, Mu Yun Chu quickly spoke up.

"That's good. The Su Shou Alliance was expected, but I didn't expect them to act in broad daylight. I thought they would try to assassinate us in secret." Gu Qingyue gave a mocking smile.

"Alright, we'll talk about the interrogation later. The wedding procession has returned safely, so don't worry. Take a rest, and the wedding ceremony will be held soon," Mu Yun Chu said, squeezing her little hand.

Gu Qingyue was still wearing a veil, so he couldn't see A-Yue's face, but he knew that A-Yue must be happy.

"Can this be taken off now?"

Gu Qingyue blew a breath, and the veil fluttered and then fell down.

It's a bit stuffy because I can't see my surroundings!

"The old woman said no, it's bad luck."

Mu Yun Chu was also helpless. When he came in, the old woman at the door had specifically told him not to lift the veil now, otherwise it would be bad luck.

"Okay, I'll wait."

Gu Qingyue waved her hand, saying it was nothing serious and she didn't want anything unlucky.

After Mu Yun Chu left, Gu Qing Yue let out a long sigh of relief, leaned back on the couch, exhausted!

"Could you take off this wedding dress first? It's too layered and tiring to wear," Gu Qingyue said, raising her sleeve.

This piece was made by the most skilled embroiderers in the capital over two months. Of course, it also followed the regulations and styles set by the Ministry of Rites for the marriage of a princess, so it was naturally intricate, exquisite, and noble.

But with so many layers, it's uncomfortable to wear.

"Your Highness, please don't rush. We still have to go through the wedding ceremony. Please rest for a bit first, and you can change after the ceremony."

The one speaking was Granny Ji, one of the two nannies that Qin Shi had given to Gu Qingyue.

For this wedding, Qin gave Gu Qingyue a dowry of twenty servants.

There was a steward, someone who could manage accounts, someone who was good at taking care of clothes and jewelry, and even a little maid named Ju'er who was very skillful, able to embroider and cook. Gu Qingyue liked her very much and brought her along.

The two women in charge were Granny Ji and Granny Yue.

Both of them were former nannies who had served Qin Shi. Granny Yue was honest and dutiful, while Granny Ji was shrewd and composed; both were excellent candidates.

Qin said she would bring it to her, and she didn't refuse.

After hearing what Granny Ji said, Gu Qingyue gave up.

Surrounded by a group of people, Gu Qingyue completed the wedding ceremony and was led back to the bridal chamber by Mu Yun Chu. It felt like a dream.

All she could hear were the buzzing sounds of voices and string and wind instruments.

The ceremony was presided over by the Vice Minister of Rites. The kneeling and bowing were all things that the Ministry of Rites had taught them before, so there was nothing new about them.

Gu Qingyue only saw unexpected people in the chattering crowd, which was quite interesting.

For example, the third prince, the sixth prince, and the eighth prince.

Speaking of the Third Prince, Zhao Shi stood beside him, expressionless, probably cursing herself in her heart.

The Sixth Prince was accompanied by his half-sister, Gu Feiwen. When she returned to the capital, she heard from Madam Wei that the Sixth Prince had already taken Gu Feiwen as a concubine the day after Gu Feiwen's coming-of-age ceremony.

She's only five days younger than me, haha, and she's also very eager to become the sixth prince's concubine. Look at how different she is in her clothes and appearance.

As for the Eighth Prince, that's interesting; naturally, Princess Lianfu was by his side.

Princess Lianfu was no longer as arrogant as before, because she spotted Mo Xiaoliu in the crowd again.

Look how embarrassing it is to have someone use something against you!

Gu Qingyue said she really enjoyed watching Princess Lianfu's expression at that time.

Of course, she saw all of this by releasing her spiritual power; she was still wearing a veil!

Once inside, there was naturally another large group of people.

Gu Qingyue had just sat down on the edge of the bed with Mu Yun Chu's help when she heard the wedding attendant's voice.

"Please, groom, use the auspicious scales to lift the veil. The first lift brings good fortune and happiness; the second brings contentment and fulfillment; the third brings prosperity and health to your descendants."

"Quickly! We want to see the bride."

As soon as the matchmaker finished speaking, everyone started shouting and cheering, and the bridal chamber became lively in an instant.

"Hurry up! You can't possibly not even lift that scale, can you?!"

It was Qin Fang's voice, teasing Mu Yun Chu.

"That's right, don't let your hands shake, and keep your steps steady!"

It is Bai Jingzhi.

"Go quickly, don't just stand there staring blankly," said Zhang Qingxuan.

Gu Qingyue: ......

What a terrible friend!

Seeing a pair of bright red boots embroidered with unicorns and auspicious clouds stop in front of her, the next moment, her veil was lifted, and Gu Qingyue's eyes finally lit up!

Wow, so beautiful!

"Is this a fairy? This makeup is so beautiful!"

"Princess Li is so beautiful!"

"Your eyes are so beautiful!"

There were women whispering among themselves!

"Of course my sister is beautiful!"

It's Xiao Nian again!

Next to him was Mo Xiaoliu, whose eyes were wide open.

She had seen it this morning, but seeing it again now, Qingyue is really beautiful!

Li Wang's brother-in-law is so lucky!

Gu Qingyue adjusted her eyes to the light and looked up.

Unexpectedly, his gaze met Mu Yun Chu's deep, dark eyes, and suddenly, a flush rose on his face.

Does this guy's eyes have to be so bright?!

Mu Yun Chu couldn't help but feel his heart pounding. He didn't know why, but tears welled up in his eyes.

He suppressed it with great effort.

His little girl has finally grown up!

She married herself!

She's his!

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up, his smile gentle and doting, which made Gu Qingyue's face turn even redder.

"Quick! Look! The groom is stunned! The bride is blushing!"

Someone shouted something, and everyone burst into laughter.

Gu Qingyue was truly embarrassed. She looked at Mu Yun Chu with a smile on her face, thinking that the two of them must look like two silly geese at this moment.

"Please, bride and groom, perform the nuptial ceremony!"

As soon as the matchmaker finished speaking, Zhu Qing immediately brought out a tray containing two halves of a gourd, connected by a red thread, and filled with wedding wine.

Gu Qingyue and Mu Yunchu exchanged a glance, then simultaneously picked up their gourds, crossed their cups, and drank the contents in one gulp.

"Sharing the nuptial wine, we'll share joys and sorrows; with one heart, we pledge this vow, to stay together until our hair turns white."

The matchmaker continued to sing along.

Another burst of cheers erupted inside the room.

"The ceremony is complete------" Xiniang clapped her hands.

Gu Qingyue's face was so hot you could fry an egg on it.

Aside from being stared at and teased by everyone like a searchlight, he mainly felt very uncomfortable being stared at by Mu Yun Chu's eyes.
