red and wine ii

The ceremony will commence with a greeting exchange between the bride and the groom and their families .

I gave the guard a nod and he informed my presence to the guests then motioned for me to enter

Yijia gave me a smile before I walked in .Taking a deep breath ,I strode in carefully not to miss a step and immediately all heads turned to look at me

I walked with my gaze low not able to keep any eye contact until I got to the seat where my parents was seated

While greeting them ,I felt my legs tremble .My mother and father smiled at me and gestured for me to sit down

After a while the guard announced the groom's presence and everyone turned their attention towards the door and stood up to pay their greeting to the prince

The room echoed with the voice of the guest "welcome your your highness " I looked up nervously to check my soon to be appearance

I glanced at the door as my heart hammered inside my chest as I almost gasped when the groom entered

what !

Isn't this my saviour from two weeks ago .He couldn't be general Xiao Chen ,right ?he couldn't be the 4th prince ,my husband to be ?

I asked myself despite knowing the answer

He walked gracefully towards my father taking each step with confidence "Mr shen "

My father smiled at him and said "general ,we have all been waiting for you "and gestured towards me

As I saw him turn to me ,I quickly looked down forgetting that I'm using a veil then heard the sound of his footsteps , although light as he neared before sitting on the chair beside me

we were both asked to stand so we could perform the three greetings"First bow to the ancestors,second bow to the parents and third bow to each other "

Gifts were brought forward by many of the guest who were present .The ceremony was hastened and it is time for the general to take me to his manor

Mother was crying by the time I had to leave her since I have grown accustomed to her since I got here

But it's just that I can't choose her over there wedding .we hugged each other and it took a while for her to leave me before I also hugged my father

All the while ,the general kept a stoic expression on his face which looked like he was forced into this and wanted everything to end soon
