Started as a poor little girl

However, when she combed her hair to the ninth comb, Yue Xiangmei's voice suddenly became choked:

"I comb my hair nine times around my neck, hoping for the auspicious birth of a dragon and a phoenix." The trembling voice revealed an indescribable feeling of reluctance.

Although her eyes were filled with tears, Yue Xiangmei still suppressed her grief and resolutely completed the tenth comb:

"Comb your feet ten times, wishing you success in every step."

This last comb not only expresses the mother's yearning for her daughter's future better life, but also contains the deepest love in her heart.

Li Lulu turned around, held Yue Xiangmei's hands tightly, and said in a gentle but firm tone:

"Mom, don't worry, I will be happy. Brother Jinnian has always treated me well, you, dad, and grandpa can rest assured."

Her eyes were full of gratitude and relief, trying to make her mother put her worries aside.

Because the journey was long and arduous, only Yue Xiangmei and Li Qingping came to the capital, even though today was an important moment in Lu Lu's life.

Li Xiaoyang, the eldest son in the family, has a new member in his family and it is inconvenient for him to travel far, and the shop also needs someone to take care of it.

Therefore, this wedding seemed a little quiet.

But no matter what, the power of family affection always runs through it, making this special day even more precious and unforgettable.

The one from the second son Li Xiaoguang's family is equally indispensable. After all, she is the pastry chef that Lu Lu respects the most!

You know, if their holiday villa didn’t have this master chef, the tourists might not be able to taste such delicious pastries!

As for grandpa, it is even more unsuitable for him to come to the wedding! After all, he is over 70 years old, and I really can’t bear to let him suffer such a long journey!

At this moment, Yue Xiangmei could no longer suppress her inner grief and reluctance, and tears flowed from her eyes like a dam breaking.

She gently stroked her daughter's delicate face and said softly, "Lulu! Mommy really feels sorry for you, you have to endure such grievances and sufferings."

"No, Mom, don't be sad. In fact, Jinnian is a very good person, gentle and kind. I will definitely live a happy life after marrying her."

Li Lulu held back her tears and tried hard to force a smile to comfort her mother.

She did not lie. In fact, Xiao Jinnian was indeed a considerate, gentle and kind man. But unfortunately, despite his many good qualities, she still could not fall in love with him.

At this time, Xiao Jinnian was extremely excited about his wedding today, and he couldn't wait to come to the gate of the mansion and wait for a long time.

He happened to be standing outside the door and heard the entire conversation between Lulu and her daughter.

After hearing these words, he felt extremely relieved and happy - it turned out that Lulu didn't seem to dislike him, even though there was Wei Lingheng between them, but this was enough for him!

So, Xiao Jinnian went back to the gate of the mansion and waited patiently, and at the same time asked the bridesmaid to go and urge the bride, hoping to see the beautiful Lu Lu as soon as possible.

As the matchmaker's cheerful laughter was heard, a group of well-trained maids and nannies came in one after another and began to help Li Lulu dress up with swift hands and feet.

They each performed their duties and cooperated well with each other, and soon the task was completed.

Li Lulu's towering bun was firmly fixed by an exquisite golden hairpin, and on her head she wore a crown that looked like a phoenix spreading its wings, inlaid with countless crystal clear pearls and dazzling gems.

The veil was even more exquisite, with various patterns symbolizing happiness, prosperity, and good luck embroidered with delicate needlework, shining brightly and dazzling the eyes.

The bridesmaid looked at the beautiful bride in front of her with a smile on her face, nodded with satisfaction, and carefully helped her out of the room.

Outside the door, Xiao Jinnian had been waiting for a long time. When he saw her wearing a gorgeous red wedding dress.

When he saw the bride with such a graceful figure walking towards him, he couldn't help but be deeply attracted to her.

The long skirt swayed in the wind like a dancing butterfly, like a gorgeous peony in full bloom.

The slender waist was tied with a wide gold belt, on which were intricately carved lifelike patterns of Ruyi and Fu.

She wore a pair of glittering golden bracelets on her snow-white wrists and a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes on her feet. She looked elegant and graceful.

Under the guidance of the matchmaker, Li Lulu walked slowly towards her 'sweetheart'.

At this moment, Xiao Jin jumped off the horse with a slender leap, steadily caught the bride's outstretched hand, and the two of them walked hand in hand across the burning brazier together.

Then, Xiao Jinnian gently and considerately helped Li Lulu into the magnificently decorated bridal sedan and sat her down, then gently lowered the curtain.

With a loud shout, the wedding procession marched towards Prince Jin's residence with music and drums...

He flipped over lightly and mounted the majestic tall horse, heading towards Prince Jin's Mansion in a heroic and high-spirited manner.

The sedan chair was closely escorted by sturdy and mighty horse-riding guards in front and behind, attracting many people to stop and watch, and cheer and applaud along the way.

Accompanying the orderly marching team, the guard of honor in front was majestic and mighty; the attendants behind followed closely and were awe-inspiring.

Wherever it passed, there were loud gongs and drums, and blasts of firecrackers. The area stretching for ten miles was covered with festive and gorgeous red decorations. The scene was extremely spectacular and lively.

The wedding procession moved slowly forward on the busy streets with heavy traffic.

The people on both sides of the street stopped to watch this unprecedented grand wedding scene with great interest, and bursts of laughter could be heard from the crowd from time to time.

At this moment, Li Lulu, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was extremely excited. Her heartbeat quickened involuntarily, and she felt a little nervous.

After a long wait, the wedding procession finally arrived at the gate of Prince Jin's Mansion.

Li Lulu slowly walked out of the sedan chair with the careful help of her maids. With a red veil on her head, she looked even more shy and charming, but she was a little confused because of excessive nervousness.

At this time, Xiao Jinnian walked up gently and gently took Li Lulu's slightly trembling hands, and keenly noticed that beads of sweat were oozing out of her palms.

With a smile on his face, he whispered softly, "Don't be afraid, Lulu, I'm always here to protect you."

After hearing this, Li Lulu calmed down a little and nodded slightly in response, indicating that she had understood the deep meaning and truly felt the full love and care from Xiao Jinnian.

Amid the warm cheers and blessings of the crowd, the bride and groom were escorted into the mansion.

The most eye-catching person among them was a man named An Yi. His face was filled with excitement, as if he was even more excited than his own wedding!

As the melodious and joyful music sounded, the wedding ceremony officially began.

Xiao Jinnian held Li Lulu's hand tightly, and the two of them walked slowly towards the beautifully decorated hall, shoulder to shoulder.

The hall was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and countless brightly colored flowers competed for beauty.

Rows of burning red candles are placed all around, illuminating the entire space and filling it with a festive and peaceful atmosphere.

Xiao Jinnian and Li Lulu followed traditional etiquette. They first bowed to the heaven and the earth to express their gratitude, and then paid their respects to the ancestors of the Xiao family and their parents.

Since Xiao Jinnian's biological mother died young, the ones sitting in the hall to accept the newlyweds' kowtows were naturally the current emperor and the empress.

After completing a series of complex and solemn rituals, it is finally time for the couple to bow to each other.

Xiao Jinnian and Li Lulu stood facing each other and bowed deeply to each other to express their respect and love for each other.

At this point, the grand wedding ceremony came to a successful conclusion.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jinnian took Li Lulu's hand and stepped into the magnificently decorated bridal chamber.

Due to the presence of His Majesty, no one present dared to disturb Prince Jin and his wife, let alone make trouble in the bridal chamber.

"Lulu, I'm going to go out and offer a few glasses of wine to the guests. You must be starving, right? Try this quickly. It's still hot. I'll ask the servants to bring in some more food later."

After saying that, Xiao Jinnian carefully took out two steaming hot meat patties from his arms and handed them to Li Lulu.

It turned out that he was worried that the meat patties would get cold and affect the taste, so he protected them with his warm chest all the way.

Li Lulu took the cake, nodded slightly, and said nothing more. Now she has let it go and is no longer so sad.

As the saying goes, "Now that you are here, make the best of it." Besides, Brother Jinnian was quite patient with her.
