609: 308: Wedding ceremony, collapse!
Gui Qinshao breaks up!
“I don’t believe it, you’re talking nonsense…” Gui Qinshao hissed.
But the strange maid who had co to inform had already vanished without a trace.
Gui Qinshao’s head was still buzzing, her body felt as if it had been electrocuted, completely paralyzed.
Her father and Ling Ao had betrayed her to Zhi Li?
Had they sold her purity to Zhi Li?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Even if the sun rose in the west, such a thing could never happen.
Everyone in the world might betray her, but her father and Ling Ao never would.
Gui Qinshao was filled with utter disbelief.
Her father loved her so much, she was like the apple of his eye; how could he possibly bear to hurt her?
Suddenly, she recalled all the tis her father had doted on her.
No matter how much trouble she caused, her father had scarcely even scolded her, let alone punished her.
More than a year ago, when Suo Lun used a marriage contract to trick the Gui Clan out of Chaos Stone Island and began working the Chaos Stone Salt Field, Gui Qinshao, unwilling to be humiliated, persuaded her brother Gui Qinzhong to take the Linhai navy to attack Chaos Stone Island, which resulted in nearly the complete annihilation of the three thousand Linhai navy.
The disaster was imnse, and her brother Gui Qinzhong was beaten half to death.
However, she, Gui Qinshao, got off scot-free.
Instead, her father Gui Xingfu was always soothing her, fearing she might be hurt again.
From childhood, her father had treated her like a treasure in the palm of his hand, doting on her as if she were his precious heart.
The only ti, her father Gui Xingfu had slapped her was when she had stabbed Ling Ao in the chest with a sword.
Afterward, Gui Qinshao reflected and felt she deserved to be punished.
Even if she didn’t want Ling Ao’s affections, a slap should have been the most she did.
To draw a sword and injure soone…
Her father loved her so much; he could never possibly sell her away.
And Ling Ao even less so, as he adored her like a goddess, treasured her like a pearl in his palm.
He couldn’t even bear others to glance at her, much less allow Zhi Li to defile her pure body.
The more Gui Qinshao thought about it, the less likely it seed, the firr she felt inside that this must be soone else’s sche.
Suddenly, her first thought was to go directly to her father, to ask Ling Ao.
Though she didn’t believe it, she needed a firm denial of this claim.
Just then, the music urging the bride had already resounded several tis.
Finally, her mother, Turing Si, unable to wait any longer, ca in and said, “My dear girl, are you still daydreaming here?
The guests outside are going crazy with waiting.”
With that said, Turing Si directly placed the bridal veil over Gui Qinshao’s head.
Gui Qinshao instinctively hid the dagger and the pill in her sleeve.
Imdiately after, several young ladies of the Turing Clan ca forward, took the bride Gui Qinshao by the arms, and led her outside the hall.
Finally, the countless guests got their first glimpse of the bride, Gui Qinshao.
Despite the bridal veil covering her face and obscuring her features, her lithe and graceful figure still attracted the gaze of countless people.
Then, thunderous applause erupted.
…
When the Dragon Emperor ca to this world, he had specified several types of wedding ceremonies.
After thousands of years of tradition and elimination, most weddings in the present world are divided into two types.
The Eastern style involves kneeling at the altar, while the Western style includes a hall wedding officiated by monks from the Dragon Temple.
Many civilizations in this world are a blend of Eastern and Western elents, so the weddings of the nobility are the sa.
This ti, Gui Qinshao’s wedding is a fusion of both traditions.
Here, there is both the Eastern kneeling at the altar and the grand orchestra, as well as a relatively free-form banquet.
After all, this is a civilization that has grown from Martial Arts, so it’s not like ancient Chinese noble weddings that had many intricate and complicated rituals, it’s much more liberal.
The huge banquet hall was packed with over a thousand distinguished guests.
The young ladies of the Turing Clan supported the bride Gui Qinshao as they approached the center of the hall.
At this ti, the groom, Ling Ao, was already eagerly waiting!
A temporary stage had been erected in the center of the hall, with five chairs on it.
Sitting there were Gui Xingfu and Turing Si, representing the bride’s parents.
Turing Tuo and his wife, on behalf of the groom’s family.
Zhi Li, representing the royal family.
It was still Prince Zhi Li who delivered a public speech for the wedding, as eloquent as ever.
In this celebratory text, half of the words praised Ling Ao’s talents and character.
The other half extolled Gui Qinshao’s beauty and temperant.
In short, the speech was full of complints, portraying the couple as perfectly matched.
Gui Qinshao wanted to imdiately ask her father and Ling Ao about the doubts in her heart upon seeing them, but there were too many guests around; she couldn’t just ask.
Hearing Zhi Li’s passionate speech, which seed so full of blessings and sincerity toward her and Ling Ao’s love, did not seem like soone harboring ulterior motives against her.
Zhi Li’s occasional glances toward her were filled with heat and greed, sothing Gui Qinshao had noticed before and had even felt proud of.
However, such glances, which she had seen many tis, proved nothing.
Through the veil, Gui Qinshao looked toward her father again.
Gui Xingfu’s face was full of joyous smiles; his gaze was always loving and reluctant as he looked at her.
Seeing her father’s familiar doting gaze, Gui Qinshao once again firmly believed her father would not sell her to Zhi Li, and the servant who had inford must have been causing trouble.
Then she looked towards Ling Ao.
She noticed that although he was smiling, his eyes were complicated; he even seed afraid to look at her.
