PDLP Chapter 110 Wedding
Chapter 110 Wedding
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
Originally, Xinyang wanted to have a Western-style wedding. After all, before crossing over, all of her relatives and friends had Western-style weddings, and she was familiar with the process. However, Linghua disagreed. "Marriage is a matter between the two of us, so why should we cater to others' opinions? We should have the most traditional Liyue wedding."
On that sunny day, a spectacular Chinese wedding took place. Red silk cascaded across Kagemukai Mountain, and festive lanterns hung high above Kamisato's house.
Entering Kamisato Yashiki's boudoir, I saw Ayaka, just as Xinyang had described her. She was wearing a gorgeous phoenix crown and a brocaded shawl, her face as delicate and charming as a peach blossom, and she was shy and charming. Meanwhile, Xiao Gong, dressed in a bright red cheongsam, was chatting and laughing with Ayaka.
Linghua gently lifted the phoenix corona from her head, her movements gentle and careful, as if she was afraid to mess up even a strand of her hair. Her eyes filled with anxiety and uneasiness, she turned to Xiaogong beside her and asked, "Xiaogong, come and help me check if this phoenix corona is on correctly?" Xiaogong smiled and stepped forward. After carefully examining it, he said, "Linghua, this is the fifth time you've asked me this. Don't worry, the phoenix corona is on correctly. You're as beautiful as a fairy. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
However, Linghua didn't seem reassured. She frowned slightly and muttered to herself, "But this phoenix crown is so heavy! I've never combed my hair this high before, and it feels like something's wrong..." As she spoke, Linghua reached out to touch the towering bun on her head, trying to adjust its position, but she was worried that it would ruin the overall look.
Then, Linghua's eyes fell on the gorgeous shawl she was wearing, a trace of regret and reluctance in her eyes. "And this shawl, it's so beautiful, but I can only wear it once. What a pity..."
Xiao Gong couldn't help but laugh at Linghua's excitement and nervousness. He consoled her, "Linghua, today is the most important day of your life. You should savor this joy to the fullest. Although these clothes will only be worn once, the meaning they represent is eternal. Moreover, you can treasure them as a testament to your beautiful memories." Hearing this, Linghua relaxed a little. She nodded, a bright smile blooming on her face once again.
With great excitement, Ayato slowly walked towards Ayahua's room.
Xiao Gong carefully put a bright red veil on Ling Hua, and then smiled and welcomed Ling Ren into the room. The moment Ling Ren stepped into the room, her eyes fell on Ling Hua involuntarily. Although she couldn't see Ling Hua's face clearly, she could already imagine how beautiful Ling Hua was at that moment.
After a long while, Lingren still stood there quietly, without any movement. Xiao Gong couldn't help but feel a little puzzled and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is Linghua not beautiful enough?"
Hearing this, Ayato quickly shook his head and said in a slightly lowered voice, "No, it's beautiful... very beautiful. That boy is really lucky." After that, Ayato walked forward and gently helped Ayahua up from the bed. "It's almost time, we should go out."
So, Lingren led Linghua out of the room, Xiaogong following closely behind. When they reached the hall, Xinyang was already dressed in his gorgeous top scholar uniform, waiting expectantly. Lingren took a deep breath and solemnly handed Linghua's hand to Xinyang.
"I never thought that after being on guard against you for so long, I still couldn't defend myself. Today is such an important day. As your brother, I sincerely wish you happiness." Ayato's words were filled with sincere emotion.
Xin Yang carefully reached out his hand and gently held Ling Hua's hand. His voice was a little nervous: "Thank you, brother."
With the clear and high-pitched call of the master of ceremonies, Jiu Qishinobu, the wedding ceremony officially began. Xin Yang and Ling Hua walked slowly into the hall, holding hands in red silk.
"We bow to Heaven and Earth, and express our gratitude for their creation!" The master of ceremonies' voice echoed through the air, and the two bowed deeply toward the vast expanse of heaven and earth outside Kamisato Yashiki. With awe in their hearts, they expressed their gratitude for the miracle and beauty that nature has bestowed upon life.
"Two bows to our parents, thanking them for their upbringing!" They turned to face Ayato in the hall and bowed respectfully. An eldest brother is like a father; at a young age, Ayato shouldered the weight of the family's responsibility, becoming the pillar of the family. With his silent dedication and hard work, he held up the family with his sturdy shoulders, truly deserving of this bow. At that moment, Ayato's eyes welled up slightly, witnessing his sister's growth and happiness, his heart filled with emotion.
"Husband and wife bow to each other, hoping to be together for life!" At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Xinyang and Linghua. They held the red silk tightly in their hands. Under the guidance of A Ren, Xinyang and Linghua slowly bent down and bowed deeply to each other. This bow was not only a sign of respect and commitment to each other, but also a beautiful expectation for their future life.
"The ceremony is over. Next, we should be escorted to the bridal chamber, but at the request of the bride and groom, this step can be skipped. Now, please have the groom lift the bride's red veil."
As A'nin finished speaking, Xinyang took a deep breath, calmed his inner excitement, and then reached out to take the jade ruyi handed to him by A'nin.
Xinyang slowly placed the jade ruyi on Linghua's head and gently lifted her red veil. The moment the veil was lifted, everyone present couldn't help but gasp in amazement. Linghua's beauty was like that of a fairy descending from heaven, stunning everyone.
"The newlyweds drink the wedding wine together, which symbolizes that from now on the couple will share joys and sorrows and be together forever." Aren's voice sounded again.
Xinyang and Linghua each accepted the two glasses of wine offered to them. They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with happiness and sweetness. Then, they intertwined their arms, carefully raised their glasses, and drank simultaneously.
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of warm applause from the audience.
"Give me a kiss!" Someone started the chant, and then everyone shouted, "Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!"
Xinyang and Linghua heard the crowd's cheers, smiled at each other, and their eyes met.
Xinyang slowly approached Linghua, his heartbeat quickening and his breathing becoming rapid. Linghua closed her eyes, waiting for the happy moment to arrive.
Finally, Xinyang gently kissed Linghua on the lips. The kiss was soft and affectionate, as if time had stopped at that moment. Cheers and well wishes echoed from the audience, bringing the atmosphere of the wedding to a climax.
At the same time, fireworks that had been prepared near Kamizatoyashiki also exploded brilliantly in the night sky. The colorful fireworks streaked across the sky like shooting stars, lighting up the entire night sky of Inazuma.
