Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
As a family, they had to be neat.
After Han Qiao and Heng Yi finished packing, the children came over.
The young and the old were all dressed up cheerfully. They looked very energetic.
Han Chi was dressed in red and looked even more handsome.
“Very good.” Han Qiao praised.
She reached out and tidied his wedding clothes.
“Have you had breakfast?” Han Qiao asked.
The children nodded.
They woke up early and started eating breakfast. After eating, they came over.
When they reached the hail, the matchmaker and the bridal procession were already there. They were only waiting for the auspicious time to set off.
Han Chi was a little nervous.
He paced back and forth on the spot.
Heng Yi patted his shoulder.
“Father?”
“Nervous?” Heng Yi asked.
Han Chi nodded, “A little.”
“Don’t be nervous. Just follow what you practiced earlier and be confident.” Heng Yi said gently.
Han Chi nodded.
When the auspicious time arrived, he went out and got on his horse. Before he left, he turned back to look at his parents standing at the door.
Han Chi turned his head and took a deep breath.
He suppressed the overwhelming feelings in his heart.
It was still quite a distance from Heng Manor to the prince’s manor, but in order to arrive at an auspicious time, they had to make a small detour. When the Gong Prince arrived, it would be the time.
“The groom has arrived! The groom has arrived!”
The door of the Gong Prince’s residence was instantly shut.
There was a circle of people standing outside, and there was another circle of people inside.
There were several tests.
Han Chi went through five obstacles and killed six generals before reaching the main entrance.
Li Zhao greeted him as soon as Han Chi entered the gates and the young prince told him to recite a poem.
Han Chi did it casually.
“No, no. You may not pa.s.s yet. Now recite another poem.” Li Zhao shouted again from the door.
Han Chi was already prepared.
“Let’s do some arithmetic.”
Li Zhao began to set the questions.
Han Chi, Luo Yi’an, and the others p.r.i.c.ked up their ears to listen. They also took the plates and started to calculate.
Han Chi knew the final number.
The report was given to Li Zhao.
Li Zhao snorted, “You pa.s.sed.”
Since his brother-in-law had already gone easy on him, the others could not make things difficult for the new son-in-law.
The door opened, and the people who came to escort the bride swarmed in.
Li Zhao was forcefully pushed aside.
In the Lady’s Chamber,
The Gong Prince’s consort looked at her daughter from her position and felt a myriad of emotions going through her heart.
It was as if everything had happened yesterday, and the children were still young.
She was so small then, and now she was about to get married.
“The groom is here.”
Hearing the voice of the old woman outside, Li Mi quickly sat up straight.
The Gong Prince’s consort picked up the veil with gla.s.sy eyes and gently covered Li Mi’s face.
“Mi’er, you must be happy.”
“I will, Mother.”
She would definitely be happy.
Li Zhao walked in, “Mother, Sister.”
He wanted to accompany Li Mi to thank their parents.
In the hall, the Gong Prince sat on a chair while the Gong Prince’s consort sat beside him.
He glanced at his well-dressed wife.
Her eyes were filled with gentleness and joy.
When his daughter was brought over with a veil over her head, Han Chi had already looked over.
His eyes were clear and filled with joy and love.
The Gong Prince suddenly remembered that he had once gone to fetch the bride like this. His heart was filled with joy and his eyes were filled with love.
What made them reach this point?
Was it jealousy? Or resentment?
Or did he have a change of heart?
Han Chi held Li Mi’s hand in front of the two of them and listened to their teachings.
The Gong Prince instructed Li Mi to a.s.sist her husband, teach her children, be filial to her in-laws, and be friendly to her sisters-in-law.
The Gong Prince’s consort only said a few words, “Be happy and discuss everything properly. From now on, you are husband and wife, so you have to work together.”
“Whether rich or poor, everything will be fine.”
Her simplest and most sincere wish was for them to be well..
