The Darker the Night, The Brighter the Stars - Chapter 64：Wedding Day (2)

The eyes of the people who saw Zhao Yan on a wedding dress widened. This was the rumored bride of the woman-hater of the century. The rumors were false. She was not crippled and she even looked and walked so elegantly that they had to pause their breathing just to watch this scene with batted breaths.

The matron of honor helped Zhao Yan to take leave from her grandfather in the main hall. Zhao Yan’s father was far away in Tang Country but she had run away and only acknowledged her grandfather as her family now.

She knelt down and kowtowed to the tablet and jade hairpin that was addressed to her grandfather, feeling very emotional.

At this moment Zhao Yan finally had a sense of realism, she really wanted to say goodbye to her grandfather in person and had him marry her off to another person.

From then on, she would spend the rest of her life with another person, sharing honor and disgrace, closely related and dependent on each other. This person would also replace her grandfather and become the closest person to her.

And this person would be Fu Yanqing.

Zhao Yan had never thought of marrying him or anyone before, she felt it was presumptuous to even think about it when she was so careful to hide her identity while caring for the child in her belly.

Moreover, she might come from a Prince’s mansion and was the legitimate daughter of the main wife, but in reality, she had no true power and was even unfavored. The difference in their status was like heaven and earth.

But now, Fu Yanqing was standing by her side, he accompanied her to kowtow to her grandfather’s memorial tablet.

Fu Yanqing didn’t need to say a word to make people feel intimidated. His presence alone was enough intimidation, even his name carried a lot of weight. No one dared to make any ruckus in his presence.

From then on, the two of them had become husband and wife, joined in matrimony. Zhao Yan exhaled softly. Her surname was now Fu, not Li. She was now the daughter-in-law of the Fu family and the wife of Zhao country’s prince regent.

Although Zhang Yuan seemed like an easygoing person at first, at this moment, he took his duty very seriously and knows that if he made any mistake, Fu Yanqing would take it out on him. Even though he was silent and didn’t say a word, as the Chancellor, his presence alone was enough to intimidate people’s hearts.

He sighed softly inside. His dearest friend and brother have finally tied the knot after so many years of being a single dog. Zhang Yuan really did not have any hopes that Fu Yanqing would ever marry because he was too against women to do that. But now, Zhang Yuan was one of the witnesses of this very memorable event.

The newlywed in their magnificent dress said goodbye to the tablet, causing people’s gazes to be complicated. Although it can be seen that Prince Jing bid goodbye to the late emperor, Fu Beidou, they all know that he was not sincere.

Who would want to say goodbye to the person they killed? What’s more, the former emperor’s reputation was notorious for engaging in debauchery so the people also did not have a good impression of the late emperor.

Soon after the matron of honor said to Fu Yanqing to take the people to Empress Dowager Fu Rong and saluted towards the Empress Dowager. As an elder, she was worshipped by the newlywed, it was as it should be.
