Chapter 192: The Wedding



192 The Wedding

Jun Hua was appointed to accompany Kuina on her wedding ceremony. No matter how unwilling she was, Jun Hua was forced to prepare early. Previously, she managed to not attend the wedding of Lin Yuan and Lin San, but Kuina wanted her to be there.

Because of that, Jun Hua had to dress up herself and still wore the veil. If she didn't, the men attention would turn to her and not Kuina. Coming out from her residence, she found out that the atmosphere was full of celebration.

There were bright red lanterns suspended in the verandah and hall. Fireworks were set off at the entrance in the early morning. It was very lively. Many guests had arrived and were all laughing and talking about the wedding.

Jun Hua waited on the hall as the groom was taking the bride from the carriage. She didn't remember all of the sequence, but at least she knew that she had to wait here. It didn't take long before Kuina appeared, she wore the beautiful red gown and although her face was covered with veil, Jun Hua knew that the girl was smiling.

Then, the ritual started.

"First, bow to the heaven and earth!"

"Second, bow to parents!"

"Third, husband and wife bow to each other!"

Finally, the ritual where Jun Hua can watch was finished. Since she was not married yet, she cannot accompany them to the bridal chamber. With the princess no longer had any relative and from Jun Qing side there was only her, they can skip that part.

Walking towards her grandfather, Jun Hua looked at the later face. Jun Zhenxian was truly happy for his son to get married. At least, his son was getting a decent partner.

"Grandpa, are you going to stand here the whole day?"

Hearing that joke, Jun Zhenxian laughed. "No, I was just thinking. Right, Hua'er, next will be your turn."

Jun Hua just smiled at that remark. Her turn…?

"Maybe later, Grandpa."

It would be better if she didn't think about this matter again or else she would feel rather depressed. She still has a lot of things she had to finish and she didn't want to have them delayed just because she's busy with her personal matter. It can wait.

Jun Zhenxian didn't force his granddaughter and walk from the palace with her, joking around as they walked away.

Jun Qing had to accompany the guest before he could return to the bridal chamber. The guests were forcing him to drink a lot. Despite his high alcohol tolerance, he still felt a bit muddle-headed after drinking that much wine. Upon reaching the chamber, he looked towards the girl sitting by the side of the bed.

Jun Qing proceeded with the nuptial cup and gave it to the girl. Kuina took it and drank it. Her eyes were watching Jun Qing carefully. Jun Qing came to her side and removed the veil and the crown from her head. He sized it with his hand.

"It's quite heavy."

Kuina laughed dryly. "It's the usual, I guess."

The crowns were made of pure gold. No matter how good the craftsmanship was, it cannot change the fact that gold was heavy. If not for the fact that she came from the imperial family, she wouldn't need to wear such heavy ornament. Her neck wouldn't bear with it any longer.

Jun Qing kneaded Kuina shoulder for a while. He then waved his hands and a servant came inside holding a bowl of porridge.

"You better eat first, the night is still young," with that, Jun Qing took the bowl and placed it in front of Kuina.

Kuina smiled and took it to eat. He purposely chose a food that is easy for her to eat because she had been tormented since morning without eating anything.

"The food is good. I thought that you rarely eat good food?" Kuina asked.

Jun Qing smiled embarrassedly. "I asked for a chef from the palace. General Tou allowed me to borrow one of them to cook for you today."

"I see."

Jun Qing watched the beauty beside him eating. No matter how long he looked, he still wouldn't feel satisfied with it. The girl may not be the most beautiful girl he had seen, but she was the most adorable in his eyes.

There was a phrase called: Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Even if she was called a headstrong princess, which makes many people dislike her, for Jun Qing that was her cute side. For him, she was a good wife.

"I'm done," Kuina turned her head towards the man beside her. The first time she fell in love was with this man, a strong man who vow to protect her and stay beside her even when she was being a naughty princess. After not seeing him for such a long time already, she missed him.

Looking at his gaze, somehow her cheeks started to burn red.

"You're really beautiful," Jun Qing smiled as he reached out his hand and took out the hairpin from her hair. The maids have purposely made it simple since Jun Qing wouldn't be able to disassemble it and it might make the situation awkward. After all, he has never untied a woman hair previously.

Kuina cheeks turned redder. She might be usually really playful, but at this time she's really embarrassed. She doesn't want him to see her like this, but at the same time she wanted to stay with him. Those thoughts were really contradicting with each other.

Taking the girl to the bed, Jun Qing smiled as he stared at the girl beautiful feature. Bending down near her ear, he whispered softly. "I love you."

Kuina looked embarrassed, but she used her hand to hug the man as the answer of his whisper.

The night has just begun.
