Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

2168 Marriage Ceremony (4)

"The Long Family is a big family," Nan Hua said after they entered the bridal room and no one followed them. The matron didn't dare to follow Long Qian Xing, so there were only the two of them here to do the next part of the ceremony.

When they were about to come here, Nan Hua could sense some people approaching but Old Madam Long blocked them. Their voices were unfamiliar and Nan Hua didn't feel their presences familiar either, so she guessed they were Long Family's relatives.

"Indeed." Long Qian Xing shrugged. "Don't worry about them, you just have to focus on my grandma and me."

As for his father… forget about him.

It was enough to show basic respect but there was no need to be too much because the father and son was not too close. Besides, after this, it was estimated that Long Ao Ming, Great General Long, would go to the frontline once again. Long Qian Xing had a long break because he had talked with Emperor Yang Zhou, but this break wouldn't be given to Long Ao Ming. "Yes," Nan Hua said and sat down on the bed. She has never been a person who cared about other people's opinion. Her life was full of act and she would play in accordance to the role given to her. To be able to be herself without the need to think about anything else, it was already the best gift for her. Long Qian Xing then stepped forward and opened the veil covering Nan Hua's face. He took a deep breath as he saw Nan Hua's beautiful face up close.

For today's marriage, the four maids specifically dressed up Nan Hua from morning to make sure she looks perfect. With Nan Hua was already gifted with an extremely beautiful face, the makeup only made her appearance even more gorgeous.

So much that Long Qian Xing couldn't look away.

Nan Hua also raised her eyes to look in Long Qian Xing's direction. He also cleaned up specifically for today and his long hair was half tied up. His dark eyes were staring intently in her direction as if he wanted to devour her whole. This gaze made Nan Hua instinctively felt danger. Restraining her thoughts to run away, Nan Hua raised her hand and patted Long Qian Xing's hand. "They're still waiting outside."

They're still waiting outside.

This one sentence reminded Long Qian Xing that the marriage ceremony was far from over. At this moment, he silently curse whoever made this ceremony tradition because it felt really long.

He just wanted to stay with Nan Hua. But he couldn't do that. He turned his gaze to the glass of wine on the table and then proceeded to drink it with Nan Hua to complete the ceremony.

Once it was done, he came out of the room in a hurry.

He was afraid that if he were to stay any longer, he wouldn't be able to restrain himself and wanted to indulge.

Nan Hua took a deep breath and then leaned on the pillar beside the bed. The wait for Long Qian Xing will definitely take a long time, so Nan Hua felt that it would be better for her to eat something first. It wouldn't be good for her to stay hungry…

Especially when she thought about his gaze just now.

Even if Nan Hua was confident in her physical strength, she didn't want to take a risk. Nan Hua silently stood up to call for her maid to prepare some porridge for her to eat while waiting for Long Qian Xing to come. At the same time, she asked for some medicine to brew a sobering tea for Long Qian Xing later on. She knew that Long Qian Xing was good at drinking due to the large amount of liquid he drank on the battlefield during celebrations. But today, everyone would definitely try their best to make Long Qian Xing drunk. In that case, it would be better for her to prepare a sobering soup. It could make Long Qian Xing felt better if he was truly drunk later.

…

Long Qian Xing's side. The next part of the ceremony was that the groom had to entertain the guests. Looking at the large number of people who come, including his soldiers, Long Qian Xing's lips twitched slightly. He had the feeling that these people would never let him go if he didn't end up drunk. And at the most respectful seat was naturally Emperor Yang Zhou, who was looking at Long Qian Xing with solemn face but his eyes revealed some teasing. This emperor had to keep his face, but he has been with Long Qian Xing for so long that he would still show some of his real self to him. "This toast is for you and your wife, General Xing," Emperor Yang Zhou said and raised his cup. "I wish you two happiness together."

Unlike him whose marriage was nothing more than a tool to gather the politically powerful people around him, Long Qian Xing's marriage was because of his feelings. It would be a lie to say that Emperor Yang Zhou was not envious at all, but since he's the emperor, he would do whatever was necessary for him to keep this position. He couldn't be so willful and do whatever he wanted because it would only make things worse. This time, he came to this wedding because he wanted to see Long Qian XIng's marriage ceremony. The fact that the two of them were close were not exactly a secret, so Emperor Yang Zhou wanted to give Long Qian Xing his blessings in person. "Yes, Your Majesty. This subject thank you for your blessing," Long Qian Xing replied respectfully, but he was also smiling brightly.

After that one glass, the other people started to come to Long Qian Xing and continued to give their blessings. As the result, Long Qian Xing would have to drink a lot of wine in the end.
