Chapter 175 Holding the Child's Hand
Ye Wanqing did not show too much surprise: "Fu Yu's cheap uncle seems to be a gambler and drunkard. How credible are his words?"

"It's better to be safe than sorry." Ye Chenxi said, "Who would dare to bet on this kind of thing? If there really is explosives, the Western Wei Dynasty might have to change dynasties."

Suddenly, he raised his hand to cover his mouth and looked at Chu Gongxuan.

Chu Gongxuan was also looking at him.

Ye Chenxi laughed awkwardly: "Hehehe...hehehe..."

Chu Gongxuan retracted his gaze: "Whether it is true or false, Qing'er, you need to be mentally prepared. No matter what happens, don't panic, and remember to protect yourself.

Chen Xi and I will try our best to stay by your side."

Looking at the Sixth Prince, whose face was almost as young as Ye Chenxi's, Ye Wanqing was moved and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. You should be careful too."

As soon as he finished speaking, the deafening sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums could be heard from the front yard.

Chu Gongxuan said: "Chenxi, it's time for us to go."

Ye Chenxi glanced at Ye Wanqing, his eyes reddened again: "Sister..."

"Go ahead." Ye Wanqing said softly.

Chu Gongxuan pulled the person away.

After the two men left, the female official at the gate let them in.

In addition to the princess, the queen consort, and the women of the Ye family, those who came this time also included the wives, young daughters, and children from the aristocratic families in Jindu.

The huge Jinghong Garden was packed with people.

Everything that happened outside the mansion before seemed to be just an insignificant matter and no one took it seriously at all.

The entire Princess's Mansion was filled with joy and excitement.

The sounds of laughter, firecrackers, gongs and drums came from the outer courtyard.

At the gate, a child shouted in a loud voice: "The groom is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter outside the yard.

The people in the courtyard also laughed out loud.

The unmarried women stood under the corridor with the bamboo curtains half-covered, all covering their faces and looking towards the door curiously.

Inside the room, Ye Wanqing sat on the edge of the bed, holding a round fan in her hand.

The female official stood solemnly beside him.

The bridesmaids, maids and servants were on high alert.

After a loud burst of firecrackers, the young men who came to pick up the bride surrounded the groom and rushed into Jinghong Garden with laughter.

Amidst laughter, Chu Anlan followed the instructions of the ceremonial officer and completed the bride-welcoming process.

There were people blocking the door, urging people to put on makeup, and laughing all the time.

Chu Anlan said something that caused a burst of laughter. Then, someone mocked him and he became annoyed.

He just said, "You promised not to embarrass me, why do you go back on your word? If you try to stop me again, I will rush in and snatch Qing'er away!"

There was another round of laughter.

Ye Wanqing's palms were sweating.

She clenched the handle of the fan, feeling a little nervous and expectant, like when she first got married.

The ceremonial officer was so dizzy from the noise that he could only shout: "The auspicious time has arrived, please ask the bride to get on the sedan chair..."

The female official helped Ye Wanqing get up and go out.

At the foot of the stone steps in the courtyard, a young man in a wedding gown as red as fire raised his head slightly, his black hair and fiery red hairband fluttering in the wind, his beautiful eyebrows and eyes were full of elegance: "Qing'er, I'm here to marry you!"

The boy's clear voice echoed throughout the courtyard.

As the voice fell, thunderous cheers and jeers rang out in the courtyard.

Even the women in the courtyard couldn't help laughing, and there were many joking voices -

"The groom looks so good today!"

"The girl is talented and the boy is handsome, what a perfect match!"

"I wonder what a beautiful child they will have with such a perfect couple?"

"..."

A match made in heaven.

Ye Wanqing slightly pressed down the fan, revealing her eyes as gentle and bright as autumn water, and looked at Chu Anlan with a smile.

Chu Anlan bowed to her with a bright smile, then extended his palm.

Amid the laughter and urging of the guests in the courtyard, Ye Wanqing took a step forward, and was helped down the stone steps by the female official, and put her hand on his palm. As soon as she put her hand on him, a burst of laughter rang out in the courtyard.

Behind him, Chu Shaozhen, who still looked pale and sick, and his group supported each other and bent over with laughter.

Someone yelled at the top of his voice: "Hold the red silk! Anlan, we haven't even gotten married yet, why are you in such a hurry to hold hands?"

"Just hold hands!" Chu Anlan turned his head and smiled: "Do you want me to mind my business?"

“Hahahaha…” The whole yard was filled with laughter.

The ceremonial officer and the female official looked at each other, and both saw amusement and helplessness in each other's eyes.

At this time, the bridesmaid came over with red silk, said a few auspicious words with a smile, and stuffed the red silk into Ye Wanqing and Chu Anlan's hands.

Chu Anlan snorted, pretending to be reluctant, holding one end of the red silk and smiling at Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing smiled back.

The ceremonial officer said, "Please go to the front yard and pay your respects to your parents."

Everyone in the yard moved to the sides to make way.

Ye Wanqing held the red silk and went to the front yard with Chu Anlan.

The ceremonial officer was in front, the female officer was behind, and behind them there were the sounds of young children running and laughing.

Along the way, both sides of the corridor were filled with guests.

The Princess's Mansion has never been so lively.

Ye Wanqing wore a phoenix crown and a bridal veil that trailed on the ground. As she walked, the pearls and jade on her head rustled, making a clear and pleasant sound.

Chu Anlan turned to look at her from time to time.

Ye Wanqing's face felt hot and she tilted her head slightly to glance at him.

Chu Anlan smiled brightly at her, and in front of the ceremonial officer, he slowly gathered the red silk around his wrist, hiding it with his wide sleeves, and held Ye Wanqing's hand: "Qing'er, are you nervous?"

"Don't be nervous." Ye Wanqing whispered, "Everyone is watching."

Chu Anlan raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with looking at you? I just want to hold your hand. How can holding red silk be as meaningful as holding hands? Holding your hand, growing old together. How can holding hands through red silk be considered holding hands?"

Ye Wanqing curved her eyes and said, "Well, let's hold hands then."

"It's a pity that I can only hold your hand secretly today." Chu Anlan leaned towards her and tilted his head slightly towards her ear: "After tonight, I can hold your hand openly."

Ye Wanqing's ears felt hot: "Hmm..."

Chu Anlan smiled happily.

The voice of the ceremonial officer came from behind: "Ahem! Ahem..."

Chu Anlan pretended to stand up straight, but he didn't loosen his hands at all, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

The ceremonial officer simply ignored it.

Out of sight is pure.

Throughout the Princess's Mansion, wherever the guests and the newlyweds passed, red carpets were laid out, and the paths were lined with exotic flowers and plants.

The guests followed the newlyweds out of the backyard and headed for the flower hall.

The Queen Mother, the Princess and Ye Hongwei were already waiting.

It was very lively inside and outside the house.

The ceremonial officer led the newlyweds into the flower hall. They both bowed to the Queen Mother and then stood in front of the Princess and Ye Hongwei.

Then, the female official handed Chu Anlan a teacup.

Chu Anlan smiled brightly and held the teacup above her head: "Mother, please have some tea."

Hearing this address, Chu Yanrong was stunned for a moment, then smiled, took the teacup with both hands and took a sip: "Mother wishes that you and your husband will be of one mind and one heart, like drums and harps, and live together until old age."

Chu Anlan smiled brightly: "Thank you, mother!"

Chu Yanrong handed him a red envelope and said, "Good boy."

Chu Anlan took the red envelope with a smile and handed it to someone else. He then picked up a cup of tea and offered it to Ye Hongwei: "Father, please have some tea."

Ye Hongwei: "..."

No wonder, this brat kept calling him father-in-law after the engagement ceremony. It turned out that he was waiting for him today!

He had always known that Chu Anlan had always been a casual and uninhibited person, and often disregarded etiquette and rules.

That's it.

It's a happy occasion, I don't want to waste any more words.
