Chapter 720: Chapter 648: Wedding Ceremony_1

Grandma Yan was also dazzled by the abundance of red silk, and before she could ask, Gu Jian had already approached her on his own initiative. No one knew what they discussed. By the time Wang Manman and Caiju came over with the wedding dress for Daohua to try on, Grandma Yan didn’t say anything.

"Miss, we’re pressed for time, so you’ll have to make do with a wedding dress bought from outside."

Looking at herself in the mirror, clad in a red gown, Daohua felt a bit dazed,

Is she really getting married just like that?

Isn’t it too hasty?

At that moment, Grandma Yan walked in, "You all step back, I’ll comb Daohua’s hair."

Once Wang Manman and Caiju had left the room, Grandma Yan picked up the comb and started to comb her granddaughter’s hair, saying, "Your master said, today’s wedding is only a matter of expedience to fulfill Sister Gu’s last wish. Later on, Yeyang will ask the emperor to grant a marriage decree."

Hearing this, Daohua breathed a sigh of relief, "So, today’s wedding ceremony is just for grandma to see, and we’re not truly getting married, right?" She hadn’t even turned fifteen yet. Although she quite liked Xiao Yeyang, she didn’t want to marry so early.

Grandma Yan said, "Once you’ve paid respects at the ancestral hall, it’s truly a marriage, just a private one." As she spoke, her face showed some worry; she had married off her granddaughter without even discussing it with her son and daughter-in-law, which left her feeling quite uneasy.

If it weren’t for Gu Jian saying that Sister Gu currently shouldn’t see outsiders, she would have been unable to resist sending for her son and daughter-in-law to come.

By evening, all preparations for the wedding were finally ready.

Gu Jian helped Old Madam Gu out of the room to take the main seat at the right side of the hall, while the left was reserved for Grandma Yan.

Once the three were seated, they saw Xiao Yeyang leading Daohua, with her head covered by a bridal veil, slowly walking in.

Looking at the young couple, smiles appeared on the faces of Old Madam Gu, Gu Jian, and Grandma Yan.

Soon, Xiao Yeyang led Daohua to stand before the three elders.

Xiao Yeyang was a little nervous; glancing at his smiling grandmother, his heart felt both warmed and moved.

This was his grandmother, his own grandmother!

Even in her illness, she hadn’t forgotten to fulfill his happiness.

Gu Jian looked towards De Fu, "Begin."

De Fu immediately stepped forward with a smile, cleared his throat, and called out, "The bride and groom will pay their respects!"

Upon hearing this, both Daohua and Xiao Yeyang tensed up and quickly gathered their spirits, ready for what was to come.

"First bow to heaven and earth!"

"Second bow to the high hall!"

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

After three kneels and nine bows, Daohua secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought that it was finally over.

Even though today’s wedding ceremony was simplified, Grandma Yan’s restrictions on what they could and couldn’t do had exhausted her immensely.

"Escort the bride to the bridal chamber!"

As the words were spoken, Xiao Yeyang tightened his grip on the red silk ribbon and glanced at Daohua, who was on the other end, his joy growing.

From this moment on, Daohua would be his rightful wife.

Xiao Yeyang led Daohua into the inner chamber and seated her beside him on the wedding bed.

Gu Jian and Grandma Yan supported Old Madam Gu as they followed them inside.

"Silly boy, what are you dawdling for, lift the veil now!"

Seeing Xiao Yeyang sitting motionlessly, unsure of what to do, Old Madam Gu couldn’t help but urge him on.

De Fu immediately handed Xiao Yeyang the happiness scale.

Xiao Yeyang wiped his hands on his legs and then took the happiness scale, cautiously glanced at Daohua beside him, and then reached out to lift the veil.

The veil was slowly raised, gradually revealing an exquisite and elegant countenance.

Cheeks like fresh lichee, a nose soft as goose fat, eyes full of longing looks, a mouth as delicate as a flower, Xiao Yeyang was completely mesmerized.

The three elders couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight.

"Ahem~"

Feeling embarrassed by the intense gaze, Daohua stealthily pinched Xiao Yeyang’s thigh.

Xiao Yeyang winced in pain and quickly grasped Daohua’s mischievous hand. Seeing Granny Gu and two others watching them with teasing looks, his expression became somewhat embarrassed as he gave an awkward smile.

Gu Jian noticed Granny Gu’s tired expression and said, "Let’s go out."

Granny Gu nodded, and together with Gu Jian and Old Lady Yan, they left the room.

De Fu and Wang Manman also tactfully followed them out.

Once only Daohua and Xiao Yeyang remained in the room, both let out a sigh of relief.

Daohua took the head cover and fanned herself. It was only February, but after all the bustling activity, she had started to sweat.

After fanning for a while and finding the room a bit too quiet, she turned to look around and saw Xiao Yeyang gazing at her foolishly.

Thinking that they were now wed, Daohua’s cheeks turned a shade of blush, and she gave Xiao Yeyang a coquettish glare, "What are you looking at?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled, "You look truly beautiful today."

The wedding attire purchased from outside had simple patterns and embroidery, yet worn by Daohua, it made her even more delicate and charming.

Daohua’s lips curled slightly as she hummed, "Flatterer."

Xiao Yeyang glanced at the Wedding Cup Wine on the table, quickly stood up, poured two cups, and brought them back to the bed, "We should drink the Wedding Cup Wine now."

Daohua took a look at Xiao Yeyang and took a cup from him.

Their arms crossed, bringing them closer, almost face to face.

Feeling Xiao Yeyang’s hot breath, Daohua’s head spun, and she hurriedly brought the cup to her lips.

On the other side, close to Daohua, inhaling her faint scent, Xiao Yeyang’s Adam’s apple bobbed, then he threw back his head and downed the Wedding Cup Wine.

"Cough cough~"

Daohua, having drunk too quickly, started choking.

Xiao Yeyang put down his cup and quickly started patting her on the back.

After a while of coughing, Daohua finally stopped. The choking having been quite severe, her cheeks were even more rosy, and her eyes started to well up with moisture.

In that moment, Daohua, illuminated by the red candles, looked more enchanting than usual.

"Why is this wine so strong?"

"Strong? I think it’s fine. This is the Peach Blossom Wine we brewed together last year."

Xiao Yeyang said softly, his body involuntarily leaning closer as he looked at Daohua’s tender, luscious lips.

Seeing this, Daohua leaned back, but unable to steady herself, she fell directly onto the bed.

Xiao Yeyang followed, encircling Daohua with his arms, and then bent down to kiss her.

Daohua couldn’t dodge in time and was kissed squarely.

The soft touch left both of them stunned for a moment, then they both immersed themselves in the sensation.

Just as their breaths started to grow heavy, a coughing sound came from outside.

Surprised, Xiao Yeyang raised his head to see Gu Jian walking in.

When Daohua saw Gu Jian come in, she quickly pushed Xiao Yeyang away with a flushed face and sat up, "Master."

Gu Jian nodded and said to Daohua, "Go back to your own room to rest."

Before Daohua could react, Xiao Yeyang asked anxiously, "Why?" It was supposed to be their wedding night!

Gu Jian glanced indifferently at Xiao Yeyang, motioning for Daohua to leave.

Without hesitating, Daohua quickly left the room.

Once she was gone, Gu Jian turned to Xiao Yeyang, "If you want to marry Daohua, you need to go through the proper betrothal gifts and have an official wedding. Today was just to fulfill your sister’s wish, and you think you can marry her without any preparations?"

Xiao Yeyang hastily replied, "I will give Daohua a grand wedding."

Gu Jian stated, "Then wait until the wedding ceremony to consummate the marriage." He gave Xiao Yeyang a warning look, "Don’t you dare mess around. If I find out you’ve taken advantage of Daohua, you’ll see how I deal with you."

After saying that, he didn’t bother with Xiao Yeyang any longer and left, leaving Xiao Yeyang sitting alone on the grand red bed, staring blankly at the dragon and phoenix candles.
