Chapter 5 Wedding
With the support of the two bridesmaids, Xia Qingyue finally appeared in front of Xiao Che. She wears a bright red phoenix crown, and the fine bead curtain hanging down from the phoenix crown completely covers her entire face, making it impossible for people to see her face and expression at this time. His long black hair was softly tangled behind him, and he was wearing a straight-style red robe made of Sixi Ruyi cloud pattern Jin Dian, tied up at the waist and drawn out with a slender waist. Wearing an exquisite jade belt around her waist, with thin pearl tassels hanging from the jade belt, she stepped on gold silk shoes, and her gorgeous dress was even more dazzling.
With the help of the bridesmaids, Xia Qingyue slowly walked towards Xiao Che beside the sedan chair. Every step was light and elegant, like stepping on a cloud. The same is walking. Ordinary women are walking, but on her body, she is like a fairy dotted cloud. This normal posture is extremely beautiful, and Xiao Che is also very pleasing to the eyes.
Xia Qingyue finally came to the front of the sedan chair, and the two bridesmaids also released their hands and stepped back. According to the wedding customs of the Blue Wind Empire, the bridegroom will carry the bride into the sedan chair. Xiao Che took a step forward and extended his hand to Xia Qingyue. When his hand was about to rest on his palm, a bone-piercing coldness suddenly came from Xiao Che's hand, causing his entire right hand and even his right arm to become stiff from the stabbing pain, and he could no longer move half an inch. Xia Qingyue's hand was hanging in the air on Xiao Che's palm, and her body entered the sedan chair gently and gracefully... But from the perspective of others, she was placed on Xiao Che's hand and then supported by Xiao Che.
The cold feeling on his hand slowly disappeared, Xiao Che's arm was lowered, his expression was indifferent, and he did not say a word. Except for a frown at the moment when the coldness hit, there was no other expression, and there was no sound at all.
At this time, if the fine bead curtain on Xia Qingyue's head was lifted, she would see a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes. But immediately returned to indifference.
Xiao Che mounted the horse, and the welcoming team immediately turned back in a mighty manner, followed by the Xia family's sending team, heading straight for the Xiao Clan.
Another hour and a half later, the team returned to Xiao's door. It took a long time to go back and forth, but it was smooth sailing and calm, and there was no wedding drama that many people were looking forward to, which made many people with psychological imbalances disappointed.
Xiao Lie had already stood at the door himself, welcoming the guests who came. Of course, the slaps that came at Xiao Che were basically aimed at Xiao Lie and the Xia family. With Xiao Lie's reputation in Floating Cloud City and the wide reach of the Xia family, there were quite a lot of guests. Outside the gate of Xiao's house, there were countless people who came to see the excitement, which made the road congestion impossible. And these people obviously came to witness the marriage of the number one beauty in Floating Cloud City.
Xia Qingyue's flower bridge slowly stopped. Amidst the noise, a corner of the curtain was lifted, and her maid Xia Dongling said softly, "Miss, it's already here."
Then, a hand stretched out and slowly walked down with the help of Xia Dongling. At the moment when she just got out of the sedan chair, the loud and deafening sounds around her suddenly quieted down, and they were replaced by gasping sounds one after another.
The time is approaching noon, the sun is exceptionally bright and soft, and the glittering sunlight reflects the phoenix crown on her body, which is charming and dazzling, proudly shining, and the dazzling people are dazzled. She wears a four-screened phoenix crown on her head, and her high cloud bun is embellished with exquisite golden hairpins, and there are several carved phoenix golden steps hanging from the bottom. The brocade belt, the gold silk shoes, the bright red gold silk phoenix crown is full of slender pearl tassels, with the light sway of the pearl tassels, dark eyebrows and snow skin, bright eyes and jade lips are looming, delicate and flawless. Although she has not shown her face, she is like a goddess banished to dust, and her beauty is not like the mortal world.
The bursts of uncontrollable inhalation overlapped, and I don't know how many people's eyes were straight, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. This is the charm of Xia Qingyue, without showing her face, just relying on her extraordinary temperament and posture, she is like a fairy walking out of a painting, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off...
A piece of red silk was wrapped around Xia Qingyue's hand by Xia Dongling, and the other end of the red silk was naturally tied to Xiao Che's hand.
Xiao Che walked ahead with a smile on his face, leading Xia Qingyue across the brazier, over the saddle, over the threshold of the Xia family, and went straight to the hall.
Entering the gate of Xiao's house, the noise in his ears continued unabated. Xiao Che's expression remained unchanged and his footsteps kept walking. Naturally, he really wanted this wedding to end as soon as possible.
This is the central discussion hall of the Xiao Clan, and the only people who are qualified to use it as a wedding hall are the head of the Xiao Clan or the elders. For this wedding, the interior has been decorated on a large scale. As far as the eye can see, the carved beams are inlaid with citrine, the four walls are carved with double dragons playing with pearls, and a number of rare pearls are embedded on them. The big red carpet runs through the center of the hall. , spreads straight to the golden steps in front of it, the golden light is faint, and it will illuminate the decorated golden hall even more dazzlingly. Of course, the Xiao Clan would not be willing to spend so much money for Xiao Che, these were all from the Xia family. Xia Hongyi is not stingy about her daughter's big marriage.
At the top of the hall, Xiao Lie and Xia Hongyi had already taken their seats, and they were all smiling as they watched Xiao Che and Xia Qingyue walk in. The red sandalwood table case was on both sides of the red carpet, with three rows on the left and right, and they were all full of people. When Xiao Che walked in with a spring breeze on his face, their expressions remained the same, but deep in their eyes, they all showed disdain.
Xiao Clan is a family of Xuanxuan, and Xiao Che, who has a direct line of profound veins, is born with disabled profound veins. This is simply a shame for the Xiao Clan. If it weren't for the fact that he was the grandson of the fifth elder Xiao Lie, he had already been expelled into the Xiao family's property, and it was impossible for him to stay in the Xiao family... and if he hadn't married the most high-profile daughter of the Xia family in Floating Cloud City, Not to mention being there in person, they would be too lazy to even ask.
As for Xiao Che, when they mentioned or heard this name, they only thought of the word "trash", not to mention paying attention, they couldn't even remember the appearance clearly. In the Profound Sky Continent, there is no dignity without strength, even within the same family... this is the reality.
And the expressions of the younger generation of the Xiao family are also surprisingly consistent. When their eyes fell on Xia Qingyue, they showed an irrepressible infatuation, but when they turned to Xiao Che, the jealousy in their eyes almost burst out... This lifelong cripple that even outside disciples looked down on in the Xiao family, actually Marrying the first pearl of Floating Cloud City, whom they dared not even dream of, watching the two lead the red silk into the marriage hall together, the feeling is even more uncomfortable than eating dead flies.
The wedding emcee was Xiao De, the general manager in charge of the Xiao family's logistics, and the wedding ceremony officially started with his shouts.
The master of ceremonies started from introducing the bride and groom to reading out the guest of honor... Xiao Che has always had the same expression, and his heart is calm.
At the Xia family, when Xia Qingyue was about to touch her hand, what was the sudden coldness in her hand? Is it some kind of magic? But in Floating Cloud City, I had never heard of such a profound art. Xia Qingyue was an amazing genius to be able to reach the tenth level of the Elementary Profound Realm at the age of sixteen... But in terms of level, after all, she was still at the most basic level of the Elementary Profound Realm. His breath released such an icy cold air, making his entire arm completely unable to move... What kind of profound art could it exert such amazing power at such a level!
Or... Xia Qingyue, who reached the tenth level of the Elementary Profound Realm at the age of sixteen... still hides her strength?
The sound of the emcee chanting stopped at this moment. After a short pause, the voice that was an octave higher sounded again:
"Worship heaven and earth!"
Xiao Che's mind quickly turned around. He glanced sideways at Xia Qingyue beside her, bowed down at the same time as her body, and worshipped heaven and earth together.
"Two thanks to the elders!"
The two turned their bodies and bowed respectfully in the direction of Xiao Lie and Xia Hongyi. Xiao Lie nodded with a smile, and looked lovingly at Xiao Che and his granddaughter-in-law who finally entered the house. Xia Hongyi also had a full smile on his face, without the slightest dissatisfaction with the marriage.
"Happy husband and wife!"
Xiao Che's body turned towards Xia Qingyue, and almost at the same time, Xia Qingyue's body also turned towards him... There was no hesitation or delay in his movements. This made many of the younger generation of Xiao Clan present secretly grit their teeth. When they thought about it, it was absolutely impossible for Xia Qingyue to be willing to marry Xiao Che, a completely disabled person. It must have been forced by the Xia family to get to this point. But what made them extremely disappointed was that until this moment, Xia Qingyue had behaved quite well, and no one had caught any trace of conflict from her.
The two bowed to each other, and at the moment when their bodies were bent down, through the slightly scattered bead curtain, Xiao Che caught a cold look in his eyes... There was almost no trace of emotion in the coldness.
At this moment, there should have been warm applause, laughter, and cheers. But there were only a few sparse clapping in the hall, which was extremely embarrassing.
"Hehe, Fifth Elder, and Brother Xia, congratulations." Xiao Yunhai got up at this moment and said, he is in his early forties this year, with a gentle face.
"It is indeed time to congratulate the fifth elder." Xiao Li, the first elder beside Xiao Yunhai, said in an indifferent tone, and anyone could hear the yin and yang in his words.
The second elder, Xiao Bo, also laughed strangely, and said slowly: "The fifth elder has such a granddaughter-in-law, and our entire Xiao family is very proud. The Xia family has been in business for generations, and they have found such a son-in-law, hehe, it is also very good. Yes. Congratulations. Congratulations."
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze a bit, and they said "Congratulations", but the sarcasm in it, as long as it is not a fool, it can be heard clearly.
