The Legend of Concubine Su

Chapter 160: Prince Pingyang's Wedding

Ten years passed in a fleeting moment. Lin Yaqin, the youngest daughter who had once grown up in the family of the Imperial Guard, had blossomed into a beautiful young lady, graceful and elegant, her every gesture revealing a charming and charming demeanor. Meanwhile, Concubine Su Jingyue's youngest son, Yuanchen, had grown from a child into a graceful and elegant young man. Not only was he handsome, but he was also exceptionally talented, deeply beloved by both the Emperor and the Concubine.

On this day, the palace was decorated with festive lights and colorful decorations, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere. The emperor, deeply pleased, had appointed Yuanchen the Prince of Pingyang and granted him marriage to Lin Yaqin, naming her Princess Pingyang.

On the morning of the wedding, Lin Yaqin began dressing in her boudoir early. Inside the boudoir, her personal maids were carefully taking care of everything for her, and every movement revealed their importance and joy for this wedding.

Lin Yaqin sat in front of the bronze mirror, her gaze tinged with anticipation for an unknown future, yet also with a hint of barely concealed nervousness. She gazed at her reflection, her skin smooth as cream, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her cherry lips rosy without makeup, and a ripple of emotion welled up in her heart, as if she were beholding her glorious future as a princess.

"Miss, you are so beautiful today that even the fairies in the sky are inferior to you." The maid Xiao Cui praised softly while combing Lin Yaqin's long hair.

Lin Yaqin smiled slightly, revealing two shallow dimples on her face, "You are the one who speaks sweetly and always makes me happy."

Soon, the meticulously prepared phoenix coronet and bridal robe were presented. The coronet shimmered with gold, inlaid with countless dazzling pearls and gemstones, gleaming in the morning light. The bridal robe was crafted from the finest silk, embroidered with an exquisite phoenix pattern. Every stitch and thread revealed the craftsman's exquisite craftsmanship, and the phoenix, with wings spread, seemed lifelike and ready to take flight.

The maids gently placed the phoenix coronet on Lin Yaqin's head. She felt a slight heaviness, but her joy made her ignore the discomfort. Then, they put on her bridal robe, carefully adjusting every fold and detail to ensure she looked her best at the wedding.

Lin Yaqin stood up, and the hem of her shawl flowed on the ground like water. She gently stroked the embroidery on it, feeling the delicacy and exquisiteness, as if she could see the happy life that was about to begin.

"Miss, look, this phoenix coronet and bridal gown suits you so well. It's like it was tailor-made for you." Another maid, Xiaotao, praised sincerely.

Lin Yaqin nodded slightly, her eyes gleaming with happiness, as if she had already seen the bright future that she and Yuanchen would spend together.

At this moment, joyful voices could be heard from outside the door, creating a lively atmosphere. "Miss, the wedding procession is almost here. Are you ready?" a maid hurried in to report.

Lin Yaqin took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, making herself look more calm. She knew that she was about to become the Princess of Pingyang. This was her honor and her responsibility.

A short while later, Yuanchen arrived at the Lin residence on a majestic horse. He was dressed in red wedding attire, looking handsome and elegant, his brows etched with unconcealable joy and excitement. He gazed at the gates of the Lin residence, his heart filled with anticipation and longing.

Lin Yaqin, supported by her maid, slowly walked out of her boudoir. Every step she took seemed as if she were treading on clouds, light and graceful. A faint smile graced her face, and her eyes shone with happiness, as if she had already envisioned a beautiful vision of herself and Yuanchen sharing their lives.

The moment Yuan Chen saw Lin Yaqin, a flash of amazement flashed in his eyes. He quickly dismounted and walked towards her, as if he wanted to engrave this beauty in his heart forever.

"Yaqin, you are so beautiful today that I can't take my eyes off you." Yuan Chen said softly, his voice full of tenderness and love.

Lin Yaqin blushed and lowered her head shyly, "Your Highness, please forgive me for laughing at you. I am just a humble woman, how can I compare to your heroic spirit?"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Yuanchen took Lin Yaqin's hand and helped her into the bridal sedan. As the sedan started moving, the joyful sounds became even louder, as if sending the most sincere blessings to the newlyweds.

Lin Yaqin sat in the bridal sedan, feeling uneasy. Thinking of the new life that was about to begin, she felt both anticipation and a tinge of unease. But she knew this was her fate, her choice, and she had to face it bravely.

Finally, the bridal sedan arrived at the Prince of Pingyang's mansion. Yuanchen kicked open the door and led Lin Yaqin out. Surrounded by the crowd, the two entered the main hall. The Emperor and Concubine Su Jingyue sat at the top, their faces beaming with joy, as if they saw a happy future for their child.

"Bow to heaven and earth!" the master of ceremonies shouted loudly, his voice loud and solemn.

Yuan Chen and Lin Yaqin turned around and bowed toward the door, as if praying to the gods of heaven and earth for happiness and perfection.

"Bow to your parents again!" the master of ceremonies shouted again.

They bowed to the Emperor and Concubine Su Jingyue again, thanking them for raising them and granting them marriage.

"Husband and wife bow to each other!" The host's voice sounded again.

Yuan Chen and Lin Yaqin bowed to each other. The moment their eyes met, they seemed to see the deep affection and commitment in each other's eyes. They knew that from this day on, they would spend their lives together, hand in hand, and would never leave each other, no matter the wind, rain, thunder or lightning.

"The ceremony is over, let's go to the bridal chamber!" the master of ceremonies announced loudly.

Lin Yaqin, supported by her maid, entered the bridal chamber. She sat on the edge of the bed, her heart filled with anticipation and nervousness. She knew this was her wedding night and one of the most important moments in her life.

After some socializing outside, Yuan Chen finally arrived at the bridal chamber. He gently lifted Lin Yaqin's red veil and saw her shy face and expectant eyes.

"Yaqin, from now on, you are my wife. I will treat you well and make you the happiest woman in the world." Yuan Chen said affectionately, his voice full of determination and commitment.

Lin Yaqin nodded, tears of happiness gleaming in her eyes, "Your Majesty, I am willing to spend my whole life with you, and grow old together."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with happiness and sweetness at this moment. They knew that this was a new starting point in their lives and also a testimony of their love.

At night, the palace was still bustling with activity. Guests laughed and chatted, celebrating the newlyweds' beautiful moment together. Meanwhile, Yuanchen and Lin Yaqin enjoyed the warmth and sweetness that belonged to them in their bridal chamber.

Outside the window, the bright moon hung high in the night sky, and the stars sparkled like diamonds; inside the house, red candles flickered, illuminating the two people's happy faces and loving eyes. They hugged each other tightly, as if to engrave this happiness in their hearts forever.

The days ahead are still very long, and they will face all the storms and challenges together. But they believe that as long as they love each other, support each other, and work together, they will be able to write their own beautiful chapter and legendary story.
