Transmigration: Save My Chastity

[62] Imperial Wedding (Final Chapter)

Zhan Chen stood in front of Bai's Manor with both the Bai's couple as they watched the red sedan chair that bore the sign of phoenix entered their Bai's Manor. Along with the huge and long groom's convoy, firecrackers were lit, loud gongs and drum to ward off the evil spirits.

Zhan Chen completed a series of rituals before he would be riding inside the sedan chair. The last part where the bride put on his red veil to cover his face was completed and the soon-to-be Empress was ready to enter the sedan chair.

A red mat was put along the way, so, a bride's feet would not touch a bare ground.

Wearing his red and gold wedding robes, with a red veil covering his face, Zhan Chen was escorted by his parents to sit inside the phoenix sedan chair. The phoenix sedan chair was carried by 16 people and was decorated lavishly, befitted the title Empress.

After the soon to be Empress entered the phoenix sedan chair, a convoy of 3000 people compromised of imperial guards, horse troupe, palace servants and Bai's family left the Bai's Manor and headed towards the Forbidden City.

Along the way, the thousands of citizens stood on each side of the road and cheered as they watched the once in a lifetime experience of the Grand Imperial Wedding.

The extravagant red wedding sedan chair was escorted by the horse troupe, followed by the Imperial guards, palace servants and at the back was a carriage which carried General Bai and Lady Bai. Seventy-two dragons and phoenix umbrellas and flags, 30 pairs of imperial lanterns and various weapons held by the guards compromised of the Imperial carriages.

Meanwhile inside the phoenix sedan chair, the bride sat down nervously as he lifted his red veil a little and looked around him. He secretly lifted the curtain a little and was surprised to see tens of thousands of people were cheering. Zhan Chen immediately shut the curtain back and put a hand on his chest.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

A late realisation came to him and he belatedly realised he was really going to get married.

"Fish!!!"

He cursed quietly inside the sedan chair. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! What should he do ba? Nervously biting his lower lip, he clenched on his red robes and sat even straighter.

Flying fox!

He was really nervous ba!

Uh... How to calm down ah? He could possibly ruin the wedding if he was too anxious. Thinking about the whole few months of tortures during the wedding preparation, Zhan Chen finally calmed down a little.

Taking a deep breath, he relaxed his clenched fingers and put his hands on his chest.

"Okay, calm down, Zhan Chen." He motivated himself as he tried to calm his erratic beating heart. "You can't fail this wedding ceremony. You can't embarrass yourself and Wei dage."

After his own pep talk, Zhan Chen finally calmed down and he didn't try to think about unnecessary things anymore. He tried to remembered the rest of the ceremony that he would do later.

At the same time, inside the Bai's family carriage, Lady Bai was trying to calm his anxious husband. General Bai seemed couldn't sit calmly as he talked about his nonexistent worries to his wife.

"What should we do if Xiao Chen fall from the sedan chair when he got down?"

"He won't."

"Xiao Chen is wearing a veil, he couldn't see in front of him. What if he's bowing to the wrong side later in the hall?"

Bai Xiu Ying sighed, "he won't."

"What if Xiao Chen suddenly cries?"

Bai Xiu Ying frowned, "why would our ger son cry?"
