Free Web NovelChapter 2265: Chapter 21: How I See Them
Before Fourteen took off her armor for the first time, it was hard for anyone to imagine that the always silent iron-armored guard beside Zhongxuan Sheng, who always faced danger before Zhongxuan Sheng, was actually a woman who looked so fragile.
Delicate and timid.
She blurred the symbols of femininity, erased all signs of weakness, using armor to protect herself and Zhongxuan Sheng.
She hid all her timidity and fear, leaving only steel-like courage and strength.
Today, she still hides her face.
She replaced the iron helmet with a piece of red silk.
Hidden inside were her anticipation and shyness.
Without the hard armor, she still doesn’t feel lost.
The soft and thin red veil surprisingly brings her immense security.
Armor is the shield of the flesh, but love can build a fortress within the heart. frёeωebɳovel.com
She can certainly hear the voice of the master of ceremonies, hear her adoptive father giving his advice, and hear the bustling crowd, people laughing and joking.
But she can only feel her own hand.
The hand accustomed to holding the heavy sword was now being held by a big hand... so gentle.
That hand led her forward.
She almost forgot where she was, or where she was going; she just knew that following him was the right thing to do.
Brother Sheng is very smart, Brother Sheng will never get lost.
Just keep walking until someone jokingly says, "You’ve become so reluctant to let go, haven’t you?"
Brother Sheng immediately retorted, "If it were you, would you be willing?"
Hehehe.
Although she stayed silent, she squeezed Zhongxuan Sheng’s big hand tightly to show support. Then she let go and sat in the sedan chair... Elder Sister Li accompanied her.
So nice.
She always felt the world was pretty good; as long as she was by Brother Sheng’s side, anywhere was fine.
But now, it feels really good.
All things in the world, none are unlovable.
She truly loves this world.
...
Led by the groom Zhongxuan Sheng, grandson of the Marquis of Bowang, Wu An Marquis Jiang Wang, Shimen Li Clan’s rightful son Li Longchuan, Bai County Yan Family’s rightful son Yan Fu, Imperial Court Adviser Wen Yanyu’s daughter Wen Tinglan, the extravagant wedding procession departed from Imperial Court Adviser Yi Xingchen’s residence with the bride and grandly headed to the Marquis of Bowang’s mansion.
Along the way, people sent their blessings.
Qi knife coins were scattered out one pound at a time.
Wherever they passed, decorations and celebrations filled the streets.
The wedding parade itself wasn’t large. On the way there, it was grand, with many vehicles carrying bridal gifts; on the way back, it was grand, with all the dowry prepared by the Yi family.
These bridal gifts and dowry eventually became Fourteen’s private possessions, a support from both sides’ elders to help the newlyweds build their new home.
Zhongxuan Sheng and Fourteen married once, and their names gained assets enough to cover half a street, with jewelry, treasures, and prime stones counted separately, much faster than earning through De Sheng Trading Company.
No matter which way you compare, the specifications of this wedding far exceed that of Shuofang Marquis’s mansion, making it undoubtedly the grandest wedding in recent years.
When the drumming and clanging wedding parade returned to the Marquis of Bowang’s mansion, Champion Marquis Zhongxuan Zun was already standing at the door, his handsome face stiff from smiling.
"My son Zhongxuan Zun is much like me, the face of Zhongxuan," — this was why Zhongxuan Mingguang had him come over before dawn.
A dignified champion marquis as a greeter, who could imagine?
If it weren’t for Zhongxuan Mingguang’s instructions, even the Crown Prince’s wedding wouldn’t have such specifications.
Zhongxuan Zun fears no challenges and is confident he can do everything well.
But his father’s ideas are too far-fetched; even with the Cut False divine skills, he can’t keep up.
Having a military marquis at the door greeting guests with a smile — could anyone think of that?
The entrance of the Marquis of Bowang’s mansion was packed, not entirely because of Zhongxuan Sheng’s wedding!
Everyone says Zhongxuan Zun’s elegance covers Linzi, and this great city has witnessed the growth of the champion marquis. But in such a large Linyi City, how many have truly interacted with Zhongxuan Fenghua so closely?
Moreover, those standing here will later see the returning Wu An Marquis — he’s the Luan Lang of today’s celebration!
Throughout the Great Qi Empire, if one were to list those most desirable to marry, Champion Marquis and Wu An Marquis would unquestionably be at the very top. It’s just a matter of individual aesthetic preference as to who is slightly ahead.
Participants of the wedding banquet at the Marquis of Bowang’s mansion are undoubtedly either rich or noble.
Like Duke Hou Cao Jie, Imperial Court Adviser Wen Yanyu, and Imperial Court Adviser Ye Henshui, they are in the inner hall, personally accompanied by the elder marquis.
Even the Son of Heaven sent his congratulations!
Today, the prestige of the Zhong Xuan Family is evident.
Furthermore, many significant figures from both military and governmental circles have arrived, welcomed by the Marquis of Ding Yuan.
Representatives from the Gao family, such as Gao Zhe, and guests like Bao Zhongqing and his wife Miao Yuzhi from the Bao family... these younger guests are hosted by Zhongxuan Xin, who’s just returned from overseas.
The wedding’s master planner, Uncle Ming Guang, strolled with hands behind his back, doing nothing but pacing around—and certainly, there’s no need for him to do anything. The Zhong Xuan Family is a top-tier family with countless capable personnel within the mansion, leaving no room for chaos over a mere wedding.
Thus, when he initially assured the elder marquis of his bold commitment, he chose a task too easy.
Even the necessary reception tasks for the master planner were taken care of as he sent his outstanding son.
Of course, he still had to take some trouble when collecting the gifts.
Let’s return to Zhongxuan Zun.
Champion Marquis stood at the entrance greeting guests as the wealthy and noble young women repeatedly entered and exited the Marquis of Bowang’s mansion.
