New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

Chapter 424 Farewell to the Elders, Vow

At this moment, Shufangzhai is crowded with people coming and going, it is so lively!

Inside the house, a group of beautiful girls were sitting in front of a bronze mirror, carefully dressing up. They held all kinds of exquisite hair accessories and cosmetics in their hands, exchanging makeup techniques and experiences with each other, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

Outside the house, it was a different scene. Pastor Lang, Imperial Physician Chang, and others stood together with Liu Qing, Yongqi, Xiao Feng, and others, chatting with great interest. Everyone's face was filled with joy, as if this special day had brought everyone infinite joy and expectations.

At this time, the emperor came slowly accompanied by Xiao Luzi. He looked at Shufangzhai with a smile on his face and loving eyes, because today, his two favorite little girls were going to get married.

According to traditional customs, the main wife usually chooses to go out at night when she gets married. However, this time the situation is different. Because there are many things to do on the wedding day, and the various complicated rules are even more overwhelming, so they have to start intensive preparations from early morning.

Furthermore, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei have special status. They not only have status in the palace, but also have the Xiao Mansion outside the palace as another warm home. After careful consideration, the emperor decided to allow the two brothers Erkang and Ertai to enter the palace first to welcome the bride. After Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei leave the palace to get married, they can stay at the Xiao Mansion for a while, bid farewell to their relatives there, and then set off again from the Xiao Mansion to embark on a new journey of life.

For this reason, at this moment, all the relatives and friends in the palace gathered in Shufangzhai, waiting with joy to witness the happy moment of Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei, and sending their most sincere and beautiful blessings. The whole Shufangzhai was immersed in a festive and peaceful atmosphere, and everyone was eagerly looking forward to this grand wedding.

When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning penetrated the clouds and shone on the earth; when the red sun hung high in the sky, pouring its light to the fullest, the two princesses, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei, finally completed their carefully dressed up.

At this moment, the auspicious day has arrived. Outside the door of Shufangzhai, there are bursts of deafening firecrackers, one after another, resounding through the sky, and at the same time, there are loud gongs and drums that echo around, making it very lively. With the arrival of these cheerful sounds, people inside and outside the house know clearly that the groom they have been looking forward to has finally arrived!

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei were wearing gorgeous wedding dresses, sitting by the bed. Their originally exquisite faces were stained with a faint blush due to shyness and excitement, like ripe apples, emitting a charming luster. Especially in their bright eyes, there was a hint of nervousness.

After a while, Erkang and Ertai strode into the door of Shufangzhai. However, as soon as they entered the door, they encountered many obstacles set by several playful and lovely girls. These girls either smiled sweetly or deliberately made things difficult, forcing Erkang and Ertai to use all their skills to deal with various tests. Fortunately, in the end, the two successfully passed all the difficulties with their intelligence and deep affection for the bride and were able to enter the inner room smoothly.

Just before leaving, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei walked slowly into the reception room hand in hand. When they looked up, they saw the familiar old Buddha sitting firmly on the main seat, with a dignified and majestic manner.

Looking to the side, the Emperor Father had a smile on his face, his eyes were kind and gentle; the Empress Mother had a smile on her face, her eyes were full of satisfaction; Concubine Ling was also smiling, and kept casting blessed glances at the two newlyweds; Concubine Yu also had a smile on her face, her eyes were full of satisfaction; and there was also the Empress Mother and the mother, they also had smiles on their faces, looking at their daughters with joy; Aunt Huo couldn't help but nod slightly at this time, with the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a rare gentle smile.

Facing the blessing-filled eyes of their relatives and friends in the room, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion and bitterness in their hearts.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei knelt on their knees without any hesitation, kowtowed respectfully to the elders sitting above them, and performed a standard and solemn salute.

Only Xiaoyanzi's clear and loud voice was heard: "Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, we bid farewell to the old Buddha, the emperor, the emperor's mother, the concubine Ling, the concubine Yu, the mother and mother! In the future, we will not be able to accompany you all the time to serve you wholeheartedly, but we implore you to take good care of yourselves!"

As soon as these heartfelt words came out, they struck the heartstrings of every elder in the audience like tear gas. Their eyes instantly became moist, and tears welled up in their eyes. Especially the emperor, his eyes that were usually full of majesty and domineering could not help but turn red at this moment, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he choked with sobs.

However, despite his deep reluctance and sadness, the emperor still pretended to be serious and dignified and said, "Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, you two should listen to me! Whether you are married or not, whether you live a happy life after marriage or not, this palace and Shufangzhai will always be your warm home!

If you ever miss home, or if you are wronged outside, don't forget that you still have a strong backing here. As long as you want to come back, you can come back to this home anytime and anywhere, understand? The emperor will always stand behind you and protect you! "

After these words came out, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei couldn't hold back their tears for a long time. The reluctance in their hearts made them want to just say no. However, looking at the two men who knelt down with them, they thought about it and didn't say anything. They had to cover their lips and look at the people above with red eyes. They nodded and choked, "Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei has made a note of it."

Erkang gently took out a handkerchief embroidered with exquisite patterns from his bosom. The handkerchief exuded a faint fragrance. He carefully raised his hand and gently wiped away the crystal tears from Ziwei's eyes. On the other side, Ertai gracefully took out the plain white handkerchief he carried with him and slowly wiped the tears from Xiaoyanzi's eyes. The eyes of the two were full of love and affection, as if what they held in their hands were not ordinary handkerchiefs, but the most precious treasures in the world.

Then, Erkang and Ertai looked at each other, then knelt on the ground without hesitation, and kowtowed respectfully to the elders sitting above them. Each kowtow made a clear and loud sound, as if to prove to everyone their firm determination at the moment.

After the last kowtow, Erkang spoke first and said in a loud and firm voice: "I, Fu Erkang, solemnly promise here that in this life, I will never let Ziwei down for her deep affection for me! If I ever break my oath, I would rather be struck by lightning and die a bad death!" His words echoed in the hall like a huge bell, moving people.

Ertai immediately echoed, "I, Fuertai, also swear here that I will never let Xiaoyanzi suffer any injustice. If I fail her in the future, I am willing to be struck by lightning and suffer eternal damnation!" The two men's oaths were loud and clear, and everyone present could feel their sincerity from the bottom of their hearts.

These two deafening promises not only convinced everyone present, but also filled the air with a solemn and dignified atmosphere. Everyone knew that at least at this moment, every word that Erkang and Ertai said came from their hearts and was not false. However, the future was unpredictable, and who could really say for sure? But in any case, as long as their feelings for each other were sincere and earnest, that was enough.

At this moment, the eunuch who was in charge of timing shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived!" Hearing this, Erkang and Ertai hurriedly stood up, stretched out their hands, and held their wives steadily.

At the same time, Mingyue and Hongshu, who were standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and skillfully covered the bright red veil on Princess Huanzhu Xiaoyanzi's head; on the other side, Caixia and Jinsuo also skillfully covered the veil on Princess Mingzhu Ziwei. Afterwards, the four of them supported the two brides and slowly walked towards the door.

At this time, the two brothers Xiao Feng and Yong Qi, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, saw this and walked to the door at the same time. Then, they squatted down in front of their two sisters in tacit understanding, ready to carry them on their backs and personally escort their sisters to embark on this happy marriage journey.
