When she walked down from the altar, her legs felt like jelly, causing her to almost fall down the stairs from one misstep.
Fortunately, Song Jinglan quickly grabbed her arm and asked in a low voice, “Can you walk?”
Under the officials’ scrutinising gazes, it would be improper for her to act coquettish. She still maintained an Empress-worthy noble smile on her face, but her voice that she choked out from her lips sounded like she was about to cry, “I’m so tired and my feet hurt…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Jinglan leaned over and carried the girl beside him.
Lin Feilu exclaimed, subconsciously raising her hand to hold down her almost-tumbling Phoenix Crown.
There was a commotion that broke out all around due to his actions. Lin Feilu blushed and was a little anxious, “What are you doing? Put me down!”
Song Jinglan didn’t change his facial expressions, merely descending the steps with her firmly in his arms.
Lin Feilu struggled twice, but to no avail, so she gave up and muttered softly, “The Phoenix Robe and Phoenix Crown are really heavy.”
He slightly pursed his lips and smiled. It was a faint smile that could only be seen by her, who was tucked in his arms.
Walking down the altar, the officials who were in charge of the entire ceremony were already waiting on both sides. Seeing His Majesty carrying the newly conferred Empress to the main palace with no intention to let her down, one of the officials mustered up his courage and stepped forward, “Your Majesty, this is against the rules… …”
Song Jinglan tilted his head slightly, his eyes dark and narrowed, “Rules?”
A sudden wave of silence crashed over them.
The officials retreated silently, watching helplessly as His Majesty finished the rest of the ceremony with the Empress in his arms.
After that, Lin Feilu was sent to the Lin An Palace.
In fact, according to the regulations, she should be sent back to the Empress’s chamber as the Emperor would only enjoy his time with his wife at night. Nevertheless, she liked the smell of the Lin An Palace. Since she had already been rolling around the dragon bed for a month, Song Jinglan decided that the bridal chamber would be situated in his palace.
The Lin An Palace was always solemn and majestic and looked extraordinarily vibrant today. The red decors truly lightened up the place.
Inside the room, heavy carpets were placed on the floor, some dividers on the side and a pair of wedding candles with a height of half a person burned quietly. As soon as Lin Feilu entered, she took off the Phoenix Crown that was practically crushing her neck, with its weight and took off several layers of the thick Phoenix Robe. Then, she sat down on the soft dragon bed before feeling alive again.
Tingchun and Shixia knew that His Majesty adored her to bits, so they didn’t try to stop her. They followed her orders and went to the Imperial Kitchen to serve food. After Lin Feilu finished eating, she fell asleep on the bed.
After nightfall, another ceremony was to be held in the wedding room. After sleeping for a while, the two servants dragged their Princess up from the bed. Lin Feilu took a bath, freshened up and put on both the Phoenix Robe and the Phoenix Crown. She sat down on the side of the bed in an orderly manner. Once day turned into night, a server brought some wine to be used in the following rituals.
