192 The Wedding (1/2)

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.
