Chapter 3662: 4.1262 Accompany You Forever

Only ninety-nine steps remained to reach the Tiansheng Palace Square platform.

With everyone's acute hearing, they naturally overheard everything!

Prince Kang, standing by the altar, genuinely couldn't hold back a chuckle.

This immediately earned him a furious glare from the Emperor!

The Emperor glared fiercely at the entrance of Tiansheng Palace Square.

But upon seeing the perfect couple approaching hand-in-hand, as if stealing all the colors from the world, the anger in his heart suddenly completely subsided.

It had to be said, his daughter-in-law's remark was truly flawless.

Compared to him, his son had truly succeeded in protecting his wife.

Today was his son's grand wedding; if Wuxia (referring to his late empress) were here, it would be perfect.

In the twenty-eighth year of Taian, on the sixth day of the sixth month, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess held their grand wedding.

The official registry was conveyed to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

A female official, mandated by the Emperor, proclaimed the registry before the Tiansheng Palace gate, kneeling to perform the rites and confirm the Crown Princess's status.

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess bowed to heaven and earth, bowed to the Emperor and Empress, and completed the ceremony hand-in-hand.

That evening, they returned to the palace. Various consorts, princesses, and noblewomen waited below the palace steps, kneeling in congratulation.

After going through the entire process, Qiao Mu felt somewhat discombobulated.

She wanted all under heaven to know that Lian belonged to Jojo, and no one was allowed to covet him in the slightest.

She wasn't sure how long the evening palace banquet would last. After Jojo returned to the East Palace, Cai Xiu and Cai Qi immediately came to remove her crown and help her change.

"Your Highness was worried you'd be hungry and asked you to eat something first."

Having worn the heavy phoenix crown all day, Jojo indeed felt some discomfort in her neck.

Changed into a deep red casual dress, Qiao Mu sat by the purple sandalwood, phoenix crystal, dark jade bed. She took a small bowl, stirred it with a spoon, and pretended to ask nonchalantly, "How long will the banquet last?"

"Tonight, it's only for the court officials and their families. But with the drinking, I'm afraid it will go on quite late."

"Oh," the Little Crown Princess responded expressionlessly.

Her small hand, however, anxiously clutched a corner of the quilt, restlessly shifting her body on the bed.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the Little Crown Princess put down her bowl and spoon, then asked Cai Qi again, "When will His Highness return?"

Cai Qi couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

The Crown Princess had just asked this half a quarter of an hour ago...

"Crown Princess, His Highness probably won't be back for a while yet!"

"Oh," the Little Crown Princess once again responded without much expression.

Another short quarter of an hour passed, and she asked again...

At this point, all the palace maids in the room understood.

The Little Crown Princess was extremely anxious!

Rightly so, the Crown Princess and His Highness had been separated for so long. Meeting today, they had spent the entire time going through ceremonial procedures, probably without much chance to speak.

When the person wasn't in front of her, perhaps she could suppress this longing.

But once she knew that person was so close, she couldn't suppress any of her yearning.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Your servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

"Enough, no need for formalities, you may all withdraw," Crown Prince Mo's voice echoed from outside.

The Little Crown Princess immediately dropped the book she was holding upside down, abruptly stood up, her bright, sparkling eyes eagerly fixed on the doorway.

Crown Prince Mo strode into the bedchamber, raising a hand to stop everyone from bowing. With a swift step, he darted to the Little Crown Princess, his eyes gleaming, and pulled her into his embrace. "Jojo."

Phew...

Her heart finally settled.

Under the bright candlelight, looking at the little one's delicate features, Mo Lian's deep affection was truly uncontrollable.
