Chapter 317 Wedding
Compared with the flames of war raging in the riverlands, the Vale of Arryn, which is only separated from the riverlands by the Bright Moon Mountains, has been completely immersed in joy for the past few days.

As early as a few days ago, the news that Duke Gaoyuan was about to marry Miss Margery of the Tyrell family had spread throughout the canyon.On the eve of the wedding between the Guardian of the East and the Rose of Highgarden, in the endless camps in front of the Gate of the Moon Castle, the cheers and laughter of the canyon lords and soldiers never stopped.

The atmosphere of joy permeated the canyon, and the happiest thing was the tavern and the girls. During this period, their income almost doubled.

But the problem soon came, as the demand for alcohol multiplied, the original wine reserves in the tavern were quickly depleted.Whether it is ale, beer, wine or cider, it is now sold out by crazy soldiers.

Due to the shortage of alcoholic beverages, a large number of violent incidents soon occurred in various taverns.The soldiers who lacked discipline began to make frequent disturbances in various taverns because they could not buy the spiritual food they wanted, and even competed with each other for drinks in the camp.

As a result, the young Earl Hunter, who was in charge of maintaining order in the tavern, was devastated by the frequent violent incidents in the Vale of Arryn.Even though he had sent out all the soldiers under his command, and even himself led the guards to patrol the various taverns, it still seemed like a drop in the bucket.

So, the little Earl of Hunter had no choice but to ask the Eagle's Nest City for help.Fortunately, Mr. Gao Yuan, who was busy preparing for the wedding, gave instructions to his request despite his busy schedule.The [-] Nine Star City soldiers led by Sir Simon Templeton soon joined the ranks of maintaining order in the canyon.

Those who are celebrating this wedding today are not only the soldiers who came from afar.At this moment, the aborigines in the Vale of Ayrin, as well as the refugees from the Hejian land who were ordered by Gao Yuan to be released into the canyon from the Blood Gate, are also celebrating the coming of this grand wedding.

Long before that, Gao Yuan, in the name of Margaret, distributed a carload of food to the refugees from Hejian who flocked in.Anyway, Gao Yuan originally planned to use these grains to help those refugees who lost their homes. Now it is better to use this to win the name of kindness for his fiancée among the people.

The result was just as Gao Yuan expected. When Margaery accompanied him to the settlement where the refugees gathered, she was warmly welcomed by the people gathered here. Therefore, she was honored by all the refugees from the Riverlands and the entire Vale of Arryn. love.

The time soon came to the day of the wedding, which will be held in the holy church of Eagle's Nest City.The canyon lords and knights boarded the Eagle's Nest City one after another early in the morning, just to witness the wedding between Lord Gaoyuan and Rose of Highgarden.

It's just that it's hard for those old or bloated lords, the journey to Eagle's Nest City almost cost them half their lives.It's not that Gao Yuan is intentionally embarrassing these lords with disabilities, it's just that Gao Yuan chose to hold the wedding on the Eagle's Nest City, which also has his own considerations in it.

The Gates of the Moon below the mountain might be large enough to accommodate all the lords and knights attending the wedding.It's just that Gao Yuan has already given that castle to Sir Nestor Royce as a reward.

As a lord, Gao Yuan held his wedding in the castle of his subjects, which obviously did not conform to the etiquette and the customs of Westeros.

Except for some special circumstances, both parties to the wedding usually choose to place their wedding in their own castle.Moreover, there is the only temple on the Giant's Lance in Eagle's Nest City. As the bride, Margaery Tyrell is a firm believer in the Seven Gods, so her wedding will also be held in this temple.

The sanctuary is a typical religious building for believers of the Seven Gods, just like there is a godswood forest in the castles of the old gods.It is usually a free-standing building surrounded by seven walls.

Each sanctuary has an art form representing the seven forms of the seven gods.In churches in remote parts of the country, there may be merely carved masks, or pictures drawn with charcoal on the walls.And in the sanctuaries in wealthy areas, there will be statues inlaid with precious metals and gems.

In the wide hall of the Eagle's Nest City in the morning, Gao Yuan and the guests who came from afar to attend the wedding shared a honey cake baked with blackberries and nuts, cured pork, bacon, bread and sweet apple pie.

During the dinner, Gao Yuan also provided everyone with inexhaustible fresh milk, fruit wine and golden sweet wine from Qingting Island.And the graceful female singer, while showing off her moving voice to the guests, plucked the harp in her hand with her slender fingers.

Mrs. Olenna sitting beside Gao Yuan kindly praised: "Master Gao Yuan, before your wedding with Margaery, invite my old lady to enjoy a glass of golden wine from my hometown. I am afraid that there is nothing better in this world. Carefully arranged."

"I heard that the wine from Arbor Island is the best wine in all of Westeros, especially the golden wine produced there." Sir Nestor Royce also praised at the right time.

"indeed so!"

Once the table has been cleared of food, it's time for gift giving.According to the tradition of the Reach, people will give gifts to the bride and groom separately in the early morning before the wedding.The morning after the wedding, they will give another gift, but it will be a joint gift to the newlyweds.

The Countess of Waywood presented them with a pair of soft snow boots sewn by herself; Yoon Royce sent for him two amulets made of his ancestral rune armor; Earl Hunter was the most generous. He presented Gao Yuan with a giant bow made of Valyrian steel.

It is almost impossible for this huge bow to be pulled apart with the strength of ordinary people, but after receiving the gift, Gao Yuan pulled it to the full string in front of everyone, which aroused a burst of exclamation and admiration from everyone present.

Earl Holden Redford presented Gao Yuan with a crown made of pure gold, with a huge gemstone inlaid in the middle of the crown.In addition, Earl Beneda Belmore's gift was a pair of exquisitely shaped silver bells; Sir Simon Templeton's gift was an evening star golden dragon brooch made of pure gold.

Next came Ser Garlan Tyrell, who brought a generous gift, and his gift was a huge dragon's horn.The whole body of the horn is covered with stripes of red gold and Valyrian black steel. Its surface is smooth and extremely shiny, bright enough for people to see their own twisted reflections in it. The stripes surrounding the horn are inscribed with countless strange words. Ancient magic pattern.

Sir Garland, who presented a generous gift, introduced this: "This is the horn I found from the ruins of ancient Valyria. It is rumored that the dragon kings of ancient Valyria used binding spells and this magic horn to control their soaring. A mount in Skyrim."

Mrs. Olenna was the last person to present Gao Yuan with a gift, and her gift was a dark gold full-coverage helmet.The design of the helmet is very delicate. At the top is a roaring dark golden dragon with spreading wings, and a silver evening cross star is embedded on the mask.

After the gift giving session was over, Gao Yuan went back to his room to change clothes.The other guests rushed towards the church, where they would wait and witness the wedding between Gaoyuan and Gaoting Rose.

It didn't take long for Gao Yuan, who put on a new wedding dress, to appear in front of everyone again, and he walked straight into the church with Mia Shidong sending him off.Gao Yuan stood straight in front of the statues of the Father and the Virgin and the archbishop, staring straight at the door of the church that was about to be pushed open, because his bride would enter the sacred wedding from there palace.

When Margaery Tyrell, the bride, dressed in ivory silk and Myr lace dress, was led into the church by her grandmother Lady Olenna, Gao Yuan had to admit that he was indeed given by his fiancée. It's amazing.The gauze dress is dotted with sparkling roses, which are composed of gold and red silk threads and pearls, which look very lovely and moving.

The bride's cloak is made of green velvet and embroidered with more than 100 golden roses.Like the sigil of House Tyrell: a golden rose blooming on a verdant field.

This is the traditional clothing color of the Tyrell family and is generally considered to be very representative and recognizable.

All the lords who attended the wedding were also shocked by the beautiful bride in front of them. Many of them had met Margaret before the wedding, but at this moment they were still amazed by her beauty and purity.

Compared with the beauty of the bride, Gao Yuan, who is wearing a dark gold double-breasted vest, looks even more extraordinary.The vest on its chest is decorated with a soaring dragon and a silver sword burning with flames.

Behind her is a rose gold velvet cloak decorated with the golden dragon emblem of the Evening Star, and on her soft and fluffy black hair is a crown made of pure gold. In the middle of the crown is inlaid a huge gemstone that reflects colorful light. On both sides of that gem are two ferocious golden dragons.

The archbishop in the church, wearing a silver-white crown, came to the couple and presided over the wedding ceremony between Gao Yuan and Margaery.Gao Yuan and his beautiful fiancée stood in front of the tall gilded statues of the Father and the Virgin Mary, like a pair made in heaven.

Gao Yuan and Margaret jointly made seven marriage vows in front of the seven gods, accepted seven layers of blessings prepared for them by 77 monks, and the husband and wife exchanged seven promises with each other.Then the hymn was sung by 77 monks, but when no one stepped forward to question and challenge, the time came for the husband and wife to exchange cloaks.

Margaery knelt before her grandmother, and Lady Olenna Tyrell gently removed her granddaughter's bridal cloak.With the help of Mia Shidong, Gao Yuan took off the cloak on his shoulders and took it from his hand. He stretched out the cloak in his hand as much as possible.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Gao Yuan wrapped the bride Margaery with the rose gold velvet cloak in his hand.He leaned forward and almost embraced Margaery in his arms, and the thin straps of the cloak were fastened to the golden buttons on the bride's shoulders.

This will mean that from now on, Gao Yuan will replace the Tyrell family to protect her Margaery Tyrell forever.

"Through this kiss, I will give you almost all my love!" Gao Yuan announced loudly to the bride and the guests present.

In response, Margaery raised her lovely head, and her fair neck and chest were also displayed in front of Gao Yuan.Gao Yuan hugged it into his arms, and had an affectionate and long kiss.

After the passionate kiss, the archbishop solemnly announced to the guests present and the couple: Gao Yuan and Margaery of the Tyrell family will be one body, one mind and one soul from now on.

At the end of the wedding ceremony, Gao Yuan and Margaery led the team to leave the church.Mia Stone and Ser Garlan Tyrell followed, baskets in hand to sprinkle petals for them.Next was Mrs. Olenna, supported by Sir Nestor. With a cane in one hand, she staggered behind, and she was accompanied by two twin guards for personal protection.

As soon as they walked out of the gate of the sanctuary, the garden in front of the sanctuary sounded like a tidal wave of cheers.After all, the sanctuary where the wedding was held was still too small to accommodate all the people who came to the Eagle's Nest City to attend the wedding.

As a result, those nobles who were not qualified to enter the church to witness the wedding with their own eyes chose to stand in the garden outside the church, waiting for their respected Lord Gao Yuan to appear in front of them leading his beautiful bride.

Surrounded by the blessing eyes of many guests and the cheers like the tide, Margaery Tyrell walked by holding the arm of her husband Gao Yuan, with a happy and satisfied smile on her face.Every guest who admired the delicate face of the bride at close range couldn't help shouting in amazement.

The couple walked into the long and newly decorated hall of the Eagle's Nest City together. Mia Shidong led the servants and maids of the Eagle's Nest City to dress up the place in an extremely gorgeous and festive way earlier.The original weirwood throne on the high platform has long been removed and replaced by two high-backed chairs made of aged oak.

Gao Yuan and Marge Li stood on the high platform at the end of the hall, waiting for the wedding guests to enter.After everyone entered the hall, Gao Yuan came to them alone and pulled out the Evening Star Blade from his waist.He raised the Evening Star Blade above his head, and soon a flame soared into the sky on the blade.

Immediately afterwards, he inserted the flaming Evening Star Blade into the brazier in front of him, and immediately announced the start of the wedding banquet to everyone.The wedding ceremony is extremely spectacular and lengthy, but before the wedding banquet actually begins, there are actually many things waiting for the couple to complete.

The first thing they need to face is the blessings from all the guests. The first one to go up to the stage is the bride's grandmother.Mrs. Olenna came to the couple with the help of Sir Garland Tyrell. She embraced Gao Yuan affectionately and kissed both sides of Margaery's cheeks, wishing her granddaughter and Gao Yuan a long and happy marriage.

Immediately after, the elder brother of the bride offered his blessing. Sir Garland stepped forward to give his brother-in-law a huge hug, and then casually kissed his sister on the cheek.

People waiting to bless the newlyweds lined up in a very long line in the hall, and the time left for everyone was very short.Because of this, not all guests have the opportunity to be as solemn as the bride's family when they come forward to send their blessings.

When more of them came to the newlyweds hand in hand with their wives or sons.After bowing deeply and saying a word of blessing, he had to walk off the stage quickly.

 Coughing, runny nose, body aches, accompanied by low-grade fever, the author was tortured for three days. It is estimated that he was infected with the flu virus when he returned to the countryside.I took the medicine today and my mind is still groggy.
