275 Someone You Can Get Along With (2/2)
”Lingchen, I can only wish for you to have a peaceful marriage,” the Empress talk in a soft voice. ”Although you did not marry out of love, I hope that this person you're marrying will be someone you can get along with.”
Hearing her mother's words, the Princess' lips curved into a smile. ”You don't have to worry. Lu Wei is someone that I can get along with.”
Though the Empress knew that her daughter was only trying to appease her, she was still surprised by the Princess' calmness. It seemed that the relationship between her daughter and his soon to be son-in-law was not as bad as she thought.
”Then, I have nothing to worry about,” the Empress said. She stayed for a while to give a few marriage advice to her daughter and left to busy herself with the wedding preparation.
Two hours later, Princess Lingchen was all dressed up in her red wedding dress and elaborate hairstyle. The old servant placed a red veil on her head, and she was ready.
A eunuch announced with a loud, shrilly voice that the bridegroom has arrived.
When she walked out with the help of her maidservants, Princess Lingchen could hear the music outside was getting louder and the surrounding was very lively.
However, at that moment, instead of getting nervous, the Princess could only think about the massive wedding headdress on her head. Back then, at Mingyue's wedding, she did not see her cousin wearing such a heavy headdress.
As Princess Lingchen was thinking about the headdress, she caught a glimpse of a man's dark red wedding shoes in front of her. A wedding attendant took the Princess' hand and put it in the man's hand as she spoke auspicious words.
Looking at the bright red surrounding her, Princess Lingchen wondered why she had to cover her head with a red veil. She thought that it was troublesome since her eyesight was blocked. Then, her mind wandered off, and she started to think, since she could not see anything, then what will happen if the man beside him was not the person she was supposed to marry?
”Are you anxious?”
Hearing the familiar voice next to her ear, Princess Lingchen wanted to move away, but the heavy headdress was making it hard for her head to turn. ”What?”
”You're clenching your hands on my arms a bit too hard,” Lu Wei said.
His voice slowly calmed her down. At least she can now forget about the scene where someone had changed her groom to someone else. ”This headdress is very heavy. I just thought that I need to be really careful lest I misstep and fall.”
Lu Wei chuckled at her answer.
The wedding attendant announced something, and later, Lu Wei led the Princess into the carriage before he climbed on a horse. He had successfully picked up the bride, and now, they will have to return to a temporary palace to continue the wedding procedure.
