Chapter 625 Ceremony
Ye Qing'an combed her hair, put on her phoenix crown, got into the sedan chair, and headed straight for the city tower.
Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu ascended the city tower together. Yi Moxu gently held Ye Qing'an's hand and lowered his voice to say, "When we leave the city tower and return to the city magistrate's mansion, it will already be evening. After the wedding ceremony, you will wait in the room while I go to the front to entertain the guests."
"This is the only time today that the two of us will need to be apart."
Ye Qing'an nodded. For some reason, she, who thought she was fearless and had seen all kinds of situations, felt inexplicably nervous.
"You mean, after we separate, Liu Enze will probably come looking for me?"
"Hmm." Yi Moxu lowered his head and gently adjusted Ye Qing'an's slightly long wedding dress. "Now that he's here, he naturally needs to verify your identity. Then he'll ask you why you agreed to marry me and whether you're willing to cooperate with his rescue..."
Ye Qing'an slightly raised her eyes: "Why did I agree to marry you?"
“Yes.” Yi Moxu and Ye Qing'an looked at each other, a hint of a smile in their eyes: “So, Qing'an, how do you plan to answer? That I kidnapped you? That I threatened you? That I coerced you?”
Ye Qing'an's heart trembled slightly; neither was true.
Yi Moxu did not make things difficult for Ye Qing'an, but said in a low voice, "I went to the Cloud Dream Realm earlier and asked Jiuxiao to bring Eleven here."
"Eleven?" Ye Qing'an blinked.
"Yes. Shouldn't Eleven be there for his parents' wedding? He would be very happy."
Ye Qing'an's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head to hide her embarrassment: "Where is Eleven?"
"Right on the city wall? Jiu Xiao and He Chang'an were with him."
As Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu climbed up the city wall, they indeed saw Eleven.
Today, Shiyi also wore all red, which made her look like a porcelain doll, exceptionally cute.
"Mother! Father!" Eleven rushed towards Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu with excitement on her face.
Eleven stopped only when she reached Ye Qing'an, looking up at her intently and saying, "Mother, you look so beautiful today..."
"Father is handsome too." Eleven's eyes darted around. "Is this the legendary perfect match, a match made in heaven?"
Ye Qing'an chuckled: "Who taught you all this?"
"It was Uncle He who taught me."
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow and looked up to see a man who looked to be around 20 years old standing next to Jiu Xiao not far away. The man had a beard, wore a blue robe, and had an elegant demeanor.
This must be He Chang'an, the one Yi Moxu mentioned.
"Your Majesty, Madam," He Chang'an cupped his hands in greeting to the two of them, "Everything is ready, Your Majesty, Madam, this way please."
Yi Moxu led Ye Qing'an to a lookout pavilion on the city wall, where several layers of barriers had already been set up.
As soon as Ye Qing'an entered the Wangting Pavilion, he saw the densely packed army of Siyou Kingdom below the city tower. Ye Qing'an could also vaguely see archers hidden in the distant dense forest near Anzhi City, where the forest had not yet been completely burned.
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "You said the wedding was in three days and sent them invitations, and they actually dared to come. Aren't you afraid there might be a trap?"
"They naturally knew there might be a trap involved, but the Crown Prince also knew that Liu Enze had already entered Anzhi City. Perhaps, besides Liu Enze, there were many other spies who had also entered Anzhi City."
"They want to work with Liu Enze from the inside to end this war completely."
Hearing Yi Moxu's words, Ye Qing'an also vaguely felt that something was wrong: "They think they can work together from the inside and outside to completely end this war, so why are you so blatant and arrogant?"
"Naturally, it's because I've already made preparations, everything is arranged, and I'm just waiting for them to take the bait."
"Liu Enze is a Night Demon, with extremely keen senses. Would he be so easily fooled?"
Yi Moxu curled the corners of his lips, but did not argue, only saying, "Just wait and see."
Just as Ye Qing'an was about to speak, he suddenly heard countless loud noises.
Ye Qing'an was startled, but Yi Moxu, who was beside her, suddenly reached out and grasped Ye Qing'an's hand.
Ye Qing'an then composed herself and looked in the direction from which the sound came—it was a salute.
Countless cannons soared into the sky, and red paper fragments drifted down to the foot of the city wall with the wind.
"Congratulations on your joyous occasion, Your Majesty. May you and your wife enjoy a long and happy marriage."
Countless shouts shook the heavens and the earth...
Ye Qing'an saw the red scraps of paper scattered among the Siyou Kingdom's army, causing some chaos in the crowd.
Immediately, Ye Qing'an saw countless people on the city wall nearby beginning to practice their internal energy...
"What is this going to do?"
Yi Moxu's lips curled up slightly: "On such a joyous day, we should naturally celebrate properly."
Soon, Ye Qing'an saw countless silver and golden lights appear in mid-air, falling down like rain.
"..."
For the first time, Ye Qing'an felt that she didn't know what to say.
"Your way of celebrating is to shower people with gold and silver?"
"It's very festive, isn't it?"
It was indeed a festive occasion. Ye Qing'an looked down at the Siyou Kingdom army that suddenly began to scramble for loot and thought to himself, "But the Crown Prince of Siyou Kingdom must be furious by now."
Just as Yi Moxu said, it was almost evening when they came down from the city tower, and the sky was getting dark.
The group then returned to the city magistrate's mansion with great fanfare, where the wedding hall had already been prepared.
Ye Qing'an was escorted to the entrance of the wedding hall. Then the matchmaker covered her head with a red veil, and Ye Qing'an was pushed through the door and knelt down on the prayer mat.
"Worship heaven and earth."
"Two thanks to the high hall."
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
Amidst the bustling sounds around her, Ye Qing'an suddenly realized that she was getting married.
"Send to the bridal chamber."
Amidst the clamor of voices around them, Ye Qing'an was somewhat dazed as she was ushered into the bridal chamber, where the noise gradually subsided.
The matchmaker said a lot of auspicious words, and then handed the congratulatory title to Yi Moxu: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty may now lift the bride's veil."
As soon as the matchmaker finished speaking, for some reason, even though she hadn't put on a veil when she went up to the city tower earlier.
She had seen Yi Moxu's appearance many times today, but her heart still couldn't help but jump.
As Ye Qing'an held tightly to her wedding dress, she saw Xi Cheng reach out and slowly lift the veil covering her head.
Gradually, the light in front of me brightened, and it was no longer all red.
Ye Qing'an raised her eyes and met Yi Moxu's gentle, smiling gaze.
Ye Qing'an thought, so this is what Yi Moxu's gaze is like.
So, he must have been very happy, right?
After all, he had never treated this marriage as a sham...
