Chapter 402 The Big Wedding
On the early morning of August, magpies sang happily on the branches, bringing good wishes to the emperor and empress.

As the firecrackers rang out, Bai Kou said to Shen Jia with great joy, "Princess, the bridal sedan has arrived."

Outside the Huguogong Mansion
Xiao Yichen came over riding a big black horse with a happy face.

He was wearing a bright red wedding suit, embroidered with nine golden five-clawed dragons and auspicious cloud patterns, and a faint smile hung on his handsome face.

The autumn morning sunshine shone on his body, making him look as gentle as jade, handsome and elegant.

Behind him followed a magnificent sedan chair carried by eight people and a grand wedding procession.

Xiao Yichen swiftly dismounted from his horse, and walked with his head held high and his chest puffed out, walking into the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion with its main gate wide open, at steady pace.

The emperor came to pick up the bride in person. If it were any other family, they would have happily packed the bride and put her into the sedan chair. However, in the Shen family, there was Ling Yunsu's instigation first, and then Shen Jia's support. In addition, Shen Yun, Shen An, and Guo Mingyu were young but daring. In the end, Shen Hao had no choice but to agree to accompany them to block the road.

Ling Yunsu and Shen Hao, along with their brothers and relatives, blocked the door, ready to give their brother-in-law Xiao Yichen a good test and let him know that even if he was the emperor, marrying the daughter of the Shen family would not be so easy.

Shen An held out his palm: "Your Majesty, brother-in-law, we want a red envelope, a very big one!"

Xiao Yichen waved his hand, and Xiao Ping, Jiang Zelin and others behind him hurriedly came forward with baskets of red envelopes, and each of them stuffed a handful of red envelopes.

A few of the younger ones gave way. Ling Yunsu, Shen Hao, Zhou Sizheng and others were not so easily bribed, and they threw questions at him one after another.

Xiao Yichen has a very high IQ and EQ, so he took on all the problems by himself.

Shen Hao decided to stop while he was ahead and let Xiao Yichen in with a smile.

Xiao Yichen arrived at Shen Jia's yard without any obstruction.

Wei Xuanxuan, Li Yue and others did not dare to embarrass Xiao Yichen, and opened the door after he gave them the red envelope.

Xiao Yichen smiled as he looked at Shen Jia, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress. Her head was covered with a translucent red silk veil, which was embroidered with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes with gold and five-colored silk threads. Only her outline could be vaguely seen.

Even just the outline is breathtakingly beautiful.

This day has finally come.

From today on, she is his queen, the only woman in his life.

"Jia Jia, I'm here to pick you up."

Under the red veil, Shen Jia saw Xiao Yichen reaching out his hand, smiled slightly and stretched out his own hand to shake with his, and smiled at each other across the red veil, holding hands with you and growing old together!
As soon as Shen Jiayi sat on the bridal sedan, the sound of gongs and drums began to sound, and along with the sound of "lift the sedan", eight strong and powerful guards lifted the sedan steadily.

Xiao Yichen climbed onto the horse, turned his head to glance at the bridal sedan that looked even more magnificent under the morning light, a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes and brows, then he gently patted the big black horse, and the big black horse lifted its feet and walked slowly.

The emperor's wedding was celebrated by the whole nation.

Red ribbons were tied on the trees all over the city, and every household hung big red lanterns and decorated the city with lights and colorful decorations.

The main street from the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion to the Imperial Palace was already filled with common people in festive clothes.

Every meter, there were soldiers from the Imperial Guards and the camp outside the capital maintaining order.

When the wedding procession passed by, the people knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the Emperor and the Empress on their wedding!"

Shen Jia quietly opened the curtain and took a peek outside.

Seeing the smiles on the faces of the common people on the street and their sincere blessings to them, her heart felt as sweet as honey, and she secretly vowed to lead the people of Da Zhou to live a good life and create a prosperous era that belonged to them.

Xiao Yichen sat on the horse's back, looking back at the sedan chair from time to time. Thinking that he could spend the rest of his life with his beloved woman, he couldn't help but smile.

The bridal sedan chair travelled along the red carpet to the palace.

The Chengtian Gate was wide open, Xiao Yichen rode in front, and the imperial guards on both sides knelt down and shouted words of blessing. As the melodious bells rang, the wedding procession came directly to the altar.

The Emperor, the Crown Princess, and all the civil and military officials in the court were already waiting here. Ling Yunsu, Shen Zhuoyun and others also rushed over as quickly as possible and stood with them.

Xiao Yichen got off the horse and walked quickly to the front of the sedan chair. He stretched out his long arms, bent his slender fingers with distinct joints, and knocked on the sedan door three times. His voice was low and gentle, and the ending was lingering and sad: "Jia Jia, we're here."

Shen Jia stretched out her fair and smooth hand and placed it on his broad palm, and he led her out of the bridal sedan.

The two walked towards the altar step by step side by side.

All the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the Emperor and Empress on their wedding..."

The autumn sky is blue and pure, and the soft sunlight shines on the newlyweds. With the blessings and witnesses of everyone, they make a promise to heaven and earth to be together forever.

The Emperor and the Crown Princess looked at them with satisfaction, their eyes slightly red.

After all the ceremonies, Xiao Yichen and Shen Jia returned to Fengyi Palace as quickly as possible. Under the direction of the matchmaker, they completed the procedures of lifting the veil, drinking the wedding wine, and sitting on the wedding bed.

Then they changed into the emperor's dragon robe and the empress's phoenix robe and went to the Golden Palace.

At noon, when the sun is brightest and shines directly in front of the Golden Throne Hall, festive and solemn music sounds.

Xiao Yichen held Shen Jia's hand and, under the guidance of the guard of honor, slowly walked up to the main hall and sat on the dragon throne.

The dragon throne is very large, and two people can sit on it without feeling crowded.

Civil and military officials were already standing solemnly inside and outside the main hall. When they saw Xiao Yichen pulling Shen Jia to sit on the dragon throne, they were stunned for a moment and then accepted it calmly.

After all, their new emperor was able to come in person to pick up the bride, so it would not be surprising if he did something out of the ordinary.

When the emperor and empress took their seats, all the civil and military officials knelt down in unison and shouted, "Long live the emperor! Long live the empress! A thousand years! A thousand thousand years!"

The voice is loud and resounding!
Xiao Yichen raised his hand and said, "My dear ministers, please stand up."

Xiao Yichen named the reign title Shengyuan, honored Emperor Jingwen as the Taishang Huang, the former crown prince as the Taishang Huang, the crown princess as the empress dowager, and conferred the title of Zhongyi Bo on Xiao Ping, who had always followed him, and the title of Changshan Bo on Jiang Zelin...

The new emperor ascended the throne and the emperor and empress got married, which was a double happiness. A grand banquet was held after the rewards were given.

Prince Ping, Prince Ning, Prince An, Duke Ping, Duke Jing and others were already gearing up to toast Xiao Yichen.

After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and they won't miss it.

Ling Yunsu was the first to come over with a glass of wine: "Your Majesty, I wish you and the Queen a long and happy marriage! And may you have a son soon!"

The palace maid behind Xiao Yichen immediately poured him a glass of wine.

Xiao Yichen looked at him deeply, and seeing that his eyes were clear, he picked up the wine glass and stood up: "Thank you, my dear Ling!" Then he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Du Kangquan also came over with a wine glass in hand: "Your Majesty, I wish you and the Queen a long and happy marriage! Stay together forever!"

Seeing that Xiao Yichen accepted all the toasts and drank one cup after another, the other ministers also came over to toast him.

Prince An stroked his beard cheerfully and joked to his wife, the Emperor: "Brother, if Chen'er keeps drinking like this, will he get drunk and pass out, and miss his wedding night?"

The Madam Emperor raised her chin proudly, "With Miss Shen here, how could Chen'er get drunk?"

Prince An touched his nose awkwardly and said, "That's true."

It has to be said that the Madam Empress knew Shen Jia quite well. After Xiao Yichen drank the first pot of wine, she asked someone to replace the wine with boiled water.
