1574 Bowing to the Heavens and Earth
It was not until they entered the palace that Jun Shiling finally sensed that something was wrong.
Xia Wei had always paid attention to the safety of Xia Wanyuan’s side. Hence, even in the palace, he had arranged for a large number of palace servants and guards to guard her. Today, it was very strange.
Jun Shiling turned around. There was actually no one guarding the huge palace. It was so quiet that only the sound of the cold wind could be heard.
Jun Shiling guessed even more that Xia Wanyuan had encountered some danger. He stepped straight into the hall, but he was shocked by the decorations in the hall.
There were thousands of red lights. From the door to the hall, red silk covered the ground, embroidered with mandarin ducks with their necks crossed. Everything was red, but it was far inferior to the figure standing at the end of the red silk.
Xia Wanyuan usually liked to wear plain clothes or palace clothes. Jun Shiling had never seen her wear a red dress, especially a wedding dress.
Decked in a red wedding dress, Xia Wanyuan’s clearly cold face was actually filled with the warmth of peach blossoms. Hearing the commotion, Xia Wanyuan turned around. Her eyes were bright, her red lips and white teeth. There was a hint of shyness in her every move, but because of this fiery red, she revealed an inexplicable charm.
Her fair skin was as bright as the moonlight, her slender waist was like a tight silk belt, and her ten fingers were like fresh onions. The phoenix crown on her head and the pearls on her body shone brightly under the candlelight.
Jun Shiling was stunned and completely forgot to walk in.
Xia Wanyuan waited for a while. Seeing that Jun Shiling was still standing at the door in a daze, she waved at Jun Shiling helplessly. “Aren’t you coming in?”
Only then did Jun Shiling come back to his senses and slowly walk towards Xia Wanyuan. The temperature in his eyes increased.
Xia Wanyuan was wearing a phoenix coronet and robe. Behind the flowing beads, her face was flushed. “Didn’t you want to see me in a wedding dress?”
According to Jun Shiling, he did not know when he would leave this era. Perhaps Jun Shiling would leave when he woke up, so Xia Wanyuan did not want to wait for a moment.
Jun Shiling replied in a low voice. He held Xia Wanyuan’s hand and parted the beads with his other hand. He carefully looked at Xia Wanyuan’s current appearance and sighed from the bottom of his heart. “You’re really beautiful.”
Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed by Jun Shiling’s praise. “Didn’t you say that you wanted our wedding ceremony? I prepared clothes for you.”
“Okay.” Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan to the soft couch. After putting a blanket on her, he turned to change.
Not long after, a red figure walked out from behind the screen.
Jun Shiling was wearing a red brocade robe with black edges and gold embroidery. There was a golden jade belt around his waist, making him look noble.
Jun Shiling reached out to Xia Wanyuan. “Come here.”
Xia Wanyuan walked up to Jun Shiling and placed her hand in his. Jun Shiling clenched his fist and walked out of the hall.
At this moment, the sky was clear and the entire world was very quiet. It was as if there was only Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan in the entire world.
Jun Shiling turned around, pushed away the beads in front of the phoenix crown, and looked straight into Xia Wanyuan’s eyes. “I love you, no matter the time.”
Xia Wanyuan did not know how to reply. She clenched her fists nervously. She felt that she was about to drown in Jun Shiling’s gentle gaze.
After a while, Xia Wanyuan only asked, “Aren’t we going to bow to the heaven and earth?”
Jun Shiling shook his head. “No.”
In ancient times, bowing to the heaven and earth was considered a ceremony. He was unwilling to let Xia Wanyuan guard a person who would disappear at any time for the rest of her life.
To him, in his heart, he had already bowed with Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling and wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she mustered her courage and asked softly, “If we don’t pray to the heaven and earth, how can we enter the bridal chamber?”
