Translator: Guy Gone Bad

The next day, His Majesty, who had never missed a day of the courting meeting since he ascended the throne, announced that they would skip the morning court meeting today.

Most people knew why, but some people still couldn't believe it. Just the marriages of Yan Shengrui's shadow guard leader and Ling Jingxuan's guard and maids, but would His Majesty really personally go? However, when the wedding procession initiated a topic in the imperial capital, they could only believe it.

Around nine in the morning, the two grooms in pure white modern dresses rode on the same snow-white horse with a large red flower on its head. The five groomsmen, including Qin Muyan and Li Ruhong from the Thunder Force, dressed in light blue modern suits, lined up and rode on saffron-colored horses. The wedding procession, dressed in pure white Tang costumes, set off from the Jingyun Mountain Manor and headed to the city to pick up the brides.

"Is that really okay? Color white? Isn't it too not auspicious?"

As she watched the procession disappear, Lady Wang still felt a little uneasy. Who doesn't get married in bright red? Why does their Jinxuan choose to make the wedding dress either pink or white? Although she admitted that it was really beautiful, the groom looked even more handsome in the specially tailored tuxedo, but usually only people who held a funeral would wear black or white.

"No problem, mother, don't worry. White symbolizes purity and innocence. Look at Yan Si and Shaonong. Don't they look like princes riding white horses to go pick up the bride?"

Could he say that the wedding dresses in the 21st century are mostly white? In order to give Ling Yun and Song Shuiling an unforgettable wedding, he had put a lot of thought into it. This was just a small thing. The wedding dresses for Ling Yun and Song Shuiling were the big deal. He believed that when Yan Si and An Shaonong saw them, they would be so desperate to get married right away.

"I think it's good too. Since it's their young people's wedding, let them do whatever they like. We'd just watch."

Consort Dowager Yun had always been supportive of Ling Jingxuan, and she personally felt that both the wedding venue layout and the special dresses of the groom and groomsmen and the wedding procession all exuded a novel, sweet, and joyful rhythm.

"Sure. Sister, this time I support Jingxuan. He uses white silk and white satin, not white linen. What's unauspicious about that? Maybe this wedding will set off a trend."

Wang Jinyu echoed on the side. She specially wore a bright red dress today to suit the occasion. If she knew, she would have worn a plain color like usual. After all, she was a widow, and wearing some bright color like red and green would make people gossip.

"All right, all right. I'm just saying it. But you all seem to disagree with me. I'll just shut my mouth. Brother Long, let's go and get prepared too."

Lady Wang pretended to waved her hand depressedly, then turned around and pulled Ling Chenglong back to their room. Currently, they lived with Ling Jinghan. They said that after the three brothers got married, the two of them would live alone and not disturb any of them.

"Lord Zeng, all the people you asked to see are here."

Not long after, the head of Xinyuan restaurant in the capital drove a carriage with about twenty chefs. Zeng Shaoqing pouted to Ling Jingxuan motioning him to say something. So, Ling Jingxuan said, "Lady Zheng, you make the arrangements. Grill the meat later when the wedding ceremony starts. Firstly, make the braised meat soup and dessert ready. Lady Lan, take them to bring out the wine in the cellar now.
