The weak prince's queen

"The groom is here to pick up the bride, the groom is here to pick up the bride..." The servant walking at the front of the wedding procession came to inform the bride's family a little in advance so that they could make preparations in order not to delay the auspicious time for the bride's pick-up.

After hearing the servant's report, the people in the Lin Mansion began to get busy.

"Go and ask the young lady to come out quickly." Master Lin said anxiously to the servant beside him.

After a while, the wedding procession arrived at the gate of Lin Mansion.

Mr. Lin and his wife hurried to greet him, but when they saw that the groom sitting on the horse was not Prince Jin, the smiles on their faces froze instantly and became very ugly.

Mo Feng walked over, leaned close to Master Lin and whispered, "The prince has a sudden health problem and it is really not appropriate for him to go out to receive the bride. Please don't be angry, Master Lin. Our prince said that he will come to apologize another day."

Mrs. Lin also pulled at the corner of Mr. Lin's clothes, signaling him not to offend the prince.

Although Master Lin was displeased, he knew that Prince Jin had been frail and sickly since childhood, and that this wedding was granted by the Emperor to bring good luck to the Lin family's daughter by marrying into the royal family. Therefore, he could not get angry and said helplessly, "In that case, I'll have to trouble Guard Mo. I hope the prince can recover soon."

Mo Feng nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Lin, for your understanding. Lord Lin, please ask Miss Lin to come out."

Chu Xiyue then slowly emerged, supported by Dong'er. She was dressed in a gorgeous wedding gown, the vibrant red color akin to a blazing flame, accentuating her beauty even more dazzlingly. The gown was embroidered with elaborate designs, and she wore a golden crown on her head, inlaid with countless sparkling gemstones that shimmered with dazzling light.

Chu Xiyue's lips curled slightly, revealing a row of perfectly white teeth that captivated everyone. Her eyes were like a spring, clear and bright, each blink conveying an endless tenderness. Her skin was as white and delicate as snow, and against the backdrop of her wedding dress, it looked even more delicate. Her figure was petite, yet graceful, making one want to hold her in their arms.

"Wow... What a beautiful bride!" Everyone was stunned by Chu Xiyue's beauty. Their eyes widened, their mouths slightly open, their faces filled with astonishment. Some even unconsciously exclaimed in admiration, their eyes revealing envy and blessings.

Even Mo Feng, who was standing by, was stunned. His eyes were fixed on Chu Xiyue, as if he had forgotten everything around him. A faint smile played on the corner of his mouth, and tenderness flashed in his eyes.

The matchmaker came over quickly, her face filled with a joyful smile, as if this moment was the most important moment in her life. She gently covered Chu Xiyue's head with a veil, which was like a gentle cloud, gently brushing Chu Xiyue's face.

"This bride is so beautiful. Let's leave it to the groom to admire." The matchmaker said with a smile, her voice full of anticipation and blessings. Her eyes sparkled, as if she saw a bright future waiting for Chu Xiyue.

After saying this, she gently took Chu Xiyue's hand and led her towards the bridal sedan. Chu Xiyue took light steps, following the guidance of the matchmaker, each step appearing graceful and resolute. Although her heart was filled with uncertainty and anticipation, she always kept a smile on her face, showing her courage and strength.

The matchmaker supported Chu Xiyue as they walked, their figures appearing remarkably harmonious in the sunlight. Then, Chu Xiyue was carried to the sedan chair. Before it was lifted off, the matchmaker once again loudly chanted auspicious words: "The sedan chair is lifted off, wishing you smooth sailing; the bride is married, wishing you happiness and contentment." Her voice was filled with strength and hope, as if to engrave this blessing deeply into everyone's heart.

After the matchmaker finished speaking, the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums began to blare, their sounds interweaving to form a joyful symphony. The sedan chair would slowly move forward amid the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums, its silhouette appearing particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

Chu Xiyue sat in the sedan chair, a mixture of emotions. She had no idea what was happening in the palace, nor what awaited her. Just as she was picking up the bride, she had secretly glanced at Prince Jin. While he was handsome, he didn't possess any heroic spirit. However, she knew that no matter what lay ahead, she would face it bravely, because she believed that true freedom had to be earned.
