But Chu You didn’t care. In any case, even without them, there were still many guests at the banquet.
Chu You wasn’t afraid of the coercion of these aristocratic families. He was very certain that, apart from him, these aristocratic families had no other choice. Everyone knew that once Chu Yi ascended in the future, he would definitely support the humble families and suppress the aristocratic families.
These aristocratic families could only stand by his side. They had no other choice!
Chu You had already thought it through. In the future, when he ascended to that supreme position, he definitely couldn’t let these aristocratic families restrict him. He couldn’t spoil them. These aristocratic families would only push their luck.
Thinking about how the aristocratic families had been threatening him recently, Chu You made up his mind.
For him, the most important thing was that he had finally married the person he loved.
He attached great importance to the wedding. Be it the decoration of the new house and bridal hall, or the various procedures on the day of the bridal escort, he did it himself the whole time.
On this day, Prince Kang’s Manor was decorated with lanterns and colors. When the auspicious time came, amidst a series of crackling firecrackers, the bridal escort team set off with a big red flower palanquin. They beat gongs and drums, played suonas, and were overjoyed.
Kang w.a.n.g’s marriage was a grand occasion that the capital hadn’t seen in many years. Those commoners all came when they heard the news and watched from both sides of the street.
The energetic Chu You was wearing a bright red wedding suit. His black hair was tied up high with a golden crown. He rode a tall horse with red silk, and his long body was straight.
The bright red groom’s wedding suit made the groom look radiant and graceful. His handsome face revealed a natural n.o.bility, making people feel that he was unreachable.
The bridal escort team blew and fought as they pa.s.sed through the streets and alleys. Wherever they pa.s.sed, the two followers in the team scattered copper coins along the way. Copper coins fell like rain, causing the surrounding commoners to cheer.
The team arrived at the Li residence in the west of the city in a mighty manner. They rushed to carry the bride away at the auspicious time and left under the heaven-shaking suona sound, returning to Kang w.a.n.g’s residence.
Behind the red lacquered door of the prince’s residence, the onlookers outside surrounded the door with their heads and necks raised, enthusiastically talking about today’s wedding.
It was inevitable that some commoners would question it. Wasn’t the bride’s surname Gu? Why was Kang w.a.n.g going to the Li residence to welcome the bride?
Therefore, it attracted another wave of enthusiastic discussion that was quickly drowned out by the deafening firecrackers.
After the bride and groom arrived at the prince’s residence, they first went to the bridal hall to bow. After bowing three times, they were sent to their new room.
It was only when she sat by the bed that Li Yunrong, who had been nervous for the whole day, finally calmed down. The worries in her mind temporarily left her.
She had finally married him!
The matchmaker beside her shouted, “It’s time to lift the veil.” She saw the scale stick reach under the veil and gently lift it. The big red veil left the phoenix crown. Li Yunrong’s eyes immediately lit up, and her eyes happened to meet Chu You’s, who was standing in front of her.
In the candlelight, the moment Li Yunrong, who was wearing a phoenix crown, saw Chu You, her eyes emitted a dazzling light, and her fair jade-like skin seemed to be shining.
Chu You also looked at Li Yunrong without blinking. His eyes were pa.s.sionate and lingering, and his heart was burning.
A thin layer of mist gradually appeared in Li Yunrong’s eyes.
She knew that she had chosen the right person. Her sweetheart didn’t disappoint her. Even if there were thousands of obstacles between them, he wouldn’t back down.
He was her fate!
His pure love only belonged to her!
The dragon and phoenix candles burned all night until dawn.
The next day, during the double morning greetings, Chu You and the new Princess Consort Kang went to the palace to serve tea to Empress Dowager Yuan. After that, the couple acknowledged their kinship with those royal princes.
Another day later, the newlywed couple returned home.
Early in the morning, Li Yunrong didn’t return to the Li family. Instead, she came to the Gu residence on Yuan’an Street with Chu You. The red carriage of the prince’s residence stopped at the entrance.
Just as the eunuch grabbed the bronze door knocker on the Gu residence’s door, he heard a “creak” coming from the cast corner door. Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfci rode their respective horses out from behind the door.
Today, Gu Yanfei was wearing a lilac-colored dress. Her spring clothes were thin, complementing the slender and graceful figure of the young girl. She was thin but exquisite.
The hem of her dress rippled with the wind.
The curtains at the side of the red car were lifted by a white hand. Li Yunrong’s gaze landed on Gu Yanfci through the window at a glance. Her gaze was deep, and a scrutinizing expression flashed in her eyes.
In the past few days, she had ordered people to pay attention to the commotion in the Gu residence. She also knew that the day before yesterday, Gu Yanfei actually safely returned to the residence from Cuiwei Mountain with Gu Yuan. She was naturally surprised, but at that time, she was about to get married and it wasn’t convenient for her to visit. She had waited until today..
