This was not the first time Yun Xu had covered his head to walk, but his heart did not have the shyness or longing of a bride at all. She simply followed Mammy step by step across the brazier, through the whispering crowd, and stood quietly outside the salutation hall.
The mama seemed to be holding something back, making her wait outside while she released Yun Fei's hand and led the way in.
He let go of his hands and suddenly realized that he could not see anything, even though he was covered by his head.
This was not a rare occurrence, but she suddenly became flustered. In the next moment, she thought of Nan Si Yue.
The world of Nan Si Yue was like this? He couldn't see anything?
Yun Xu finally had some awareness of her future husband. For some reason, she felt soft in her heart and felt painful.
It was also at this moment that her hand was held by someone else.
Cold, smooth, slender, lifeless hands.
She held her in an indifferent but firm manner.
Yun Xu was stunned for a moment before he naturally wrapped himself around him and held his hand.
He shook her because the procedure was due to etiquette and because he knew that she was covered, so he had the responsibility and duty.
Her holding him was her state of mind. It was her pity for him, and also her inexplicable thirst for any hand that she could not see. The two of them could feel each other's strength.
That strange and familiar feeling was transmitted to both sides through their intersecting hands.
Yun Xu suddenly thought of that strange dream.
Behind the alfalfa flowers, a blurry figure could be seen. It was very close and far, but could never be seen clearly.
That person's hand must be as cold as ice.
He led her over the threshold.
He led her down the hall.
In his ears, he heard the ritual officer's shout: Kowtow to the heaven and earth!
Yun Fei kowtowed.
Nan Si Yue was still not moving.
This was originally a good start. The limitless, brilliant future slowly expanded outwards. Who would've thought — —
"Clang!"
The red cap fell to the ground, and the phoenix crown hit the marble floor with a clatter. The pearls on it were jadeite and scattered all over the floor.
It was unknown whether the person who made this crown had sold it to the Southern King's Mansion in secret or if it was a scam!
Everyone was startled by this sudden turn of events. Yun Fei was also startled and immediately jumped up. He held his feet and cried out "Ouch! Ouch!"
When the phoenix crown fell, it first bounced off her foot and fell to the floor.
How could such a heavy object not hurt when it hit the foot?
After a few shouts, Cloudburst dropped into a chair to the right, crossed his injured foot, and fumbled for his shoes. He pulled off his white stockings and examined them closely: they were indeed bright red, and there was a red mark where the toe had been thrown.
She blew painfully at her feet, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and covered her dark red toes with it.
At the opposite side of the hall, the frowning Nanke was suddenly at a loss for words. This handkerchief, this handkerchief, why did it look so familiar?
In his desperation, Yun Xu forgot that this handkerchief had been given to her that day when he had been coaxing her.
"Young lady, how can you take off your shoes in public?" A slightly familiar, yet teasing voice came from the side.
Yun Xu turned his head and glared at him. It was indeed that ridiculous Nan Jia!
He was looking at her with a smile on his face. His almond-shaped eyes were squinting, and his paint-drawn face was so delicate that it almost deserved a beating.
"Are you alright?" Yun Fei was about to retort when Nan Si and Yue asked coldly.
Yun Fei immediately sat up straight and turned around. He stuffed his feet back into his embroidered shoes and endured the pain as a smile appeared on his face. "It's alright, let's continue."
