Chapter 176 The Gunpowder Exploded
Ye Hongwei took the tea and took a sip. "Qing'er is now in your hands. You must love her, respect her, cherish her and protect her."

Chu Anlan smiled: "Please rest assured, father."

Ye Hongwei looked at his daughter deeply again.

Ye Wanqing was also looking at him.

The father and daughter looked at each other in silence. Ye Hongwei's eyes were filled with reluctance. He handed a red envelope to Chu Anlan and waved, "Go out, don't miss the auspicious time."

Ye Wanqing knelt down and saluted.

After the ceremony, amid the sounds of firecrackers and gongs and drums, Ye Wanqing had a red silk stuffed into her hands, and with the help of the bridesmaid, she went out with Chu Anlan.

The newlyweds go out at an auspicious time.

At the command of the ceremonial officer, "Push the sedan chair", Ye Wanqing was supported by the bridesmaid and walked towards the sedan chair.

The bridesmaid was puzzled: "Huh..."

The ladies-in-waiting and maids also stopped to look in surprise.

Ye Wanqing moved the round fan that covered her eyebrows down a little, then raised her eyes to look.

The sedan chair carried by twelve people was carved with patterns of golden dragons, colorful phoenixes, and unicorns delivering children. It shone brightly with gold and red, and was gorgeous and festive.

This is a sedan chair designed for a princess' wedding.

The rich scent of roses emanated from the sedan chair.

Before Ye Wanqing had time to think, she was helped into the bridal sedan by the matchmaker.

What catches the eye is a large bunch of roses, with clusters of flowers, delicate and gorgeous, and redder than fire.

Is this... a surprise prepared for her?

She turned around and looked at Chu Anlan.

Under the dazzling sunlight, Chu Anlan rode on the horse in high spirits, smiled brightly at her, and asked her with his mouth: Do you like it?
Ye Wanqing curled her lips.

like.

Before he could finish his words, suddenly, a deafening, dull sound came from the direction of Prince Dun's palace.

Then, the ground shook violently.

Panic screams were heard all around, and the guests were instantly in chaos.

In the panic, some people came forward and surrounded the sedan chair.

The heavy phoenix crown shook violently with the swaying of the sedan chair, causing Ye Wanqing to feel dizzy.

Fortunately, a pair of hands supported her in time.

Chu Anlan's face turned pale: "Qing'er, are you okay?"

Ye Wanqing held up the phoenix crown and turned to look at the person behind her: "In the direction of the palace..."

"It exploded." Chu Anlan frowned.

Although he was uneducated, he could tell that the deafening sound just now was the sound of gunpowder exploding when it was ignited.

Moreover, the direction is towards Prince Dun’s Palace.

His father and mother were still entertaining guests at home.

At this time, the emperor who had gone out of the palace to watch the ceremony might have almost arrived at the palace.

Without further ado, Chu Anlan beckoned two guards and said, "Ride fast horses and go see what's going on."

The attendant responded, took the nearby horse and rode away.

At this time, Ye Chenting came over hurriedly, first straightened the phoenix crown for his sister, and then asked: "What exactly is going on?"

Chu Anlan pursed his lips and shook his head.

He was also worried.

Ye Chenting glanced at his sister who was frowning slightly, and suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.

he asked with his eyes.

Ye Wanqing sighed secretly and nodded slightly at him.

Ye Chenting clenched his hands, which were hanging under his sleeves, into fists.

Ye Chenxi and Chu Gongxuan calmed themselves down and came over to surround Ye Wanqing.

"Did a restaurant explode?" Ye Chenxi asked, "That direction is Qingfeng Tower, right?"

"Maybe." Chu Gongxuan said.

Ye Chenxi covered his chest and said, "It's such a scary day on a big day."

Ye Chenting said, "Brother, you and His Royal Highness stay here with Qing'er first. I will go and comfort the guests. Before we find out what happened, the bridal sedan should not leave."

As he said this, he looked at Chu Anlan.

Chu Anlan supported Ye Wanqing: "I understand." The ceremonial officer said: "The auspicious time has been calculated. If the bridal sedan doesn't leave now, I'm afraid it will miss the auspicious time!"

"Is an auspicious time more important, or is human life more important?" Ye Chenting asked.

The ceremonial officer frowned: "But..."

"Wait a moment." Ye Chenting left a word and turned to comfort the guests.

At this time, the eunuch beside the Queen Mother hurried out and said, "The Queen Mother and the Princess sent me to ask if the Princess is okay."

"I'm fine." Ye Wanqing said, "Please tell the Queen Mother and my father and mother not to worry. Once we find out the reason, the bridal sedan will set off."

The eunuch responded and went in.

Chu Anlan held Ye Wanqing's hand and asked, "This hair crown must be very heavy, right? Does it make your neck tired? Can I help you hold it up?"

Ye Wanqing raised her eyes: "It's heavy, but I can still bear it."

Chu Anlan stretched out his hand and pinched her shoulders: "Why don't you go sit in the sedan chair and take off this hair crown that's in the way?"

Take down the phoenix crown?
Ye Wanqing found it funny.

She looked at Chu Anlan who was serious. "It took them two hours to put on my phoenix crown and bridal robe. If I take it off, it will take about an incense stick of time. Putting it on again will take another two hours."

Chu Anlan was surprised: "Does it take so long?"

"Yes." Ye Wanqing lowered her head slightly: "Look, my hair is very complicated, right? It took me a long time to comb it."

Chu Anlan leaned in to take a closer look.

The more I looked at you, the more distressed I felt: "I've never seen you wear your hair in such a tight bun. Your scalp is being pulled. It must be very painful."

"It's okay." Ye Wanqing held him tightly with her backhand: "It only happens once in a lifetime, just bear with it and it will pass."

Chu Anlan smiled at her: "But, Qing'er, you look really good today!"

Ye Wanqing curved her eyes: "Your Highness looks good today too..."

Chu Gongxuan and Ye Chenxi stood aside, looking at each other silently.

Ye Chenxi: "Hmph..."

Chu Anlan turned around and joked: "Chenxi, has anyone ever told you that you are more noble than a noble lady?"

"What do you mean?" Ye Chenxi asked.

Chu Anlan smiled: "What I mean is that you are more delicate than a noble lady, especially you like to cry..."

Before he finished speaking, a deafening noise rang out again.

However, this time the sound did not come from Prince Dun’s Palace, but from the direction of Prince Duan’s Palace.

The ground shook three times.

The frightened guests fled in panic.

"Why did it explode again?!"

"What's going on?"

"Where does the gunpowder come from in the capital?"

"..."

The horses on the street were frightened, stretching their necks, neighing, and trying to escape with their hooves raised.

Chu Anlan held Ye Wanqing in his arms and commanded loudly: "Stand still! Why are you running around?! Hold the horses tight, don't let them run away and hurt anyone!"

In the chaos, the guests fled into the Princess's Mansion.

Yingxiang and Qianxi stood beside Ye Wanqing and said in panic, "Princess, why don't you go back to your mansion and take shelter?

I don’t know why today, it exploded twice in a row…”

"No!" The ceremonial officer held up the hair crown and came over with a pale face to stop her: "Once the bride leaves the house, she can't look back!"

"But it's not safe here!" Qianxi said anxiously.

"On the wedding day, the bride must not look back after leaving the house, otherwise it will be unlucky!" The ceremonial officer said harshly.

Ye Wanqing said: "It's okay, no need to go back, I'll just wait here."

The ceremonial officer finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The young men who were welcoming the bride also gathered around.

"Is Princess Sister-in-law not frightened? Is An Lan's wound okay?"

"Where exactly did it explode? An Lan, you didn't prepare these fireworks specifically to surprise the princess, did you?"

"Are you stupid? Whose fireworks explode with the same power as gunpowder?"

There was a lot of chatter and a lot of noise.
