A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

Chapter 866 The Wedding of the Century (Part 2)

 Seeing Li Yi appear, the scene immediately burst into applause.

In the live broadcast room, the audience also started to comment.

 “Brother Yi! Brother Yi!”

 “My Brother Yi is so handsome!”

“Is this a dragon robe? Brother Yi’s row of noodles is full!”

“That’s awesome! If I get married in such a grand way, I would even win the lottery!”

The door gradually opened, revealing the two people following Li Yi. They were Wu Lei and Zhao Jinmai.

Wearing the clothes of servants and maids, they followed Li Yi with excited faces, each carrying a bamboo basket in their hands.

 In the bamboo baskets, there are two carved wooden geese, one male and one female, with red flowers tied around their necks.

 This is the goose laying ceremony in traditional weddings, which symbolizes the harmony of yin and yang of the newlyweds, and also symbolizes the fidelity and single-mindedness of marriage.

 Seeing Wu Lei and Zhao Jinmai, there were not many guests present, but the audience in the live broadcast room laughed.

“Why are these two living treasures dressed like this?”

“Are you here to be a boy and girl for Brother Yi?”

 “Haha! Being able to attend the wedding with Brother Yi is such a true friend!”

Seeing that the door was fully opened, Li Yi walked towards the ceremony platform in front.

Wu Lei and Zhao Jinmai followed him closely, excited and nervous at the same time.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the ceremony stage.

After bowing and thanking all the guests and friends, Li Yi came to the side of the ceremony platform under the guidance of the wedding master.

Then, the master of ceremonies sang towards the re-closed door: "Next, please invite the distinguished person to come out of the cabinet!"

 As the emcee finished speaking, the door opened again.

Following that, Liu Yifei, dressed in a gorgeous cloud brocade phoenix robe wedding dress, appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow!"

Everyone at the scene couldn't help but exclaimed.

 The live broadcast room was filled with amazing comments.

Everyone was stunned by Liu Yifei's wedding dress.

Although Li Yi's dragon robe is equally exquisite, Liu Yifei's phoenix robe expresses the word gorgeous to the extreme.

The bright red long-sleeved gown is woven with gold and phoenixes, and detailed and exquisite patterns are drawn all over the body.

The waist is woven with fine gold threads to create the shape of phoenix feathers. It is knitted in a circle around the waist, highlighting her graceful figure to the extreme.

On top of the long-sleeved gown, she also wore an extremely exquisite Yunjinxiabei, which was also dazzling with golden light. Against the bright red brocade background, she showed nobility.

The lower hem of Xia Pei was dragged on the ground, but it was not dragged out in an exaggerated way. Only a one-meter phoenix tail was left. Following Liu Yifei's pace, it floated forward step by step, agile and dazzling.

 But the most eye-catching thing is the beautiful phoenix crown on Liu Yifei’s head.

It uses bamboo silk as the frame and gold thread as the silk to weave nine dragons and four phoenixes.

Around the crown, nine pieces of imperial green jadeite of the same size and color are inlaid.

 In the center of the phoenix crown is the largest golden dragon, holding an eastern pearl as big as a dragon's eye in its mouth.

 The golden dragon's eyes are also inlaid with imperial green jade, with a string of beads hanging below.

 The other eight golden dragons also have pearls in their mouths. They have different colors, but they are all plump and round, and of excellent quality.

Under the crown of the phoenix, there hang twelve large bead flowers connected with gold threads, and thirty-six small bead flowers connected with silver threads, forming a bead curtain.

 Liu Yifei's beautiful face is just behind the bead curtain, looming like a fairy.

Seeing Liu Yifei in this outfit, all the guests at the scene felt as if they had been slapped, and were so beautiful that they lost their minds.

This phoenix robe almost shows the aesthetics of Chinese clothing to the extreme. What is even more rare is that it is actually worn on such a beautiful woman and complements each other.

 For a time, an idea appeared in the minds of all the guests present.

 When a wife is like this, what else can a husband ask for?

As he walked into the hall, Liu Yifei looked at Li Yi from behind the bead curtain with tenderness.

 She did not come to the ceremonial stage, but walked along the porch on one side to the central attic. The emcee continued to host and invited Liu Xiaoli to the stage.

This link is the ceremony for leaving the cabinet. Liu Xiaoli needs to purse Liu Yifei's lips, tie her tassel, and smoke incense.

Assisting Liu Yifei to perform the ceremony, Liu Xiaoli's eyes were slightly red, but she was smiling.

After helping Liu Yifei arrange her hair, she breathed a sigh of relief and sighed softly: "My dear is getting married!"

Hearing this, Liu Yifei's eyes suddenly turned red and she almost shed tears. She quickly raised her head to relieve herself.

Upon seeing this, Liu Xiaoli quickly comforted her with a few words, then took out the gold-threaded round fan that she had prepared and fanned her to let her tears dry quickly.

 Feeling that her tears were drying up, Liu Yifei took the round fan and held it in front of her face.

 This is the fanning ceremony. When the bride leaves the palace, she must use a fan to cover her face, firstly to ward off evil spirits, and secondly to cover her shame.

In ancient times, women were kept at home before getting married and were not allowed to go out or contact other male relatives. Most of the marriages were arranged by parents or matchmakers.

 The bride has never met before, so the bride is naturally shy, so there is a saying of covering up her shame.

However, in modern times, this etiquette has evolved into a ritual and is not so strict.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Liu Xiaoli took her in hand and walked out of the attic to the ceremony stage.

Looking at Liu Yifei in front of him, Li Yi's eyes were full of love.

 After Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei stood up, Li Yi took the wooden goose from Wu Lei and Zhao Jinmai's audience and sent it to Liu Xiaoli.

Taking Mu Yan with a smile, Liu Xiaoli looked at the two of them and warned softly: "Have a good life!"

 Then she carried Mu Yan and walked down the stage.

 Next, it’s time for the worship ceremony.

 Zhao Jinmai and Wu Lei took the prepared flowers and red silk, handed them to Li Yi and Liu Yifei, and stepped aside.

 Following that, Li Yi’s second uncle and aunt, as well as Liu Yifei’s parents came to the stage and sat in the high hall seats.

 “Sit down in the high hall and bow three times.”

The master of ceremonies was presiding over the ceremony: "We worship the heaven and the earth! First we worship the heaven, and the couple is made in heaven! Then we worship the earth, and we get married! Then we worship the heaven and the earth, and the earth lasts forever!"

 Second thanks to Gaotang! First, respect your parents’ flesh and blood, love is like the East Sea! Thanks again to my parents for raising me, they are as generous as a mountain! Third, I wish my parents a happy family and a long life!

 Happy husband and wife! I wish you wholeheartedly, love deeply, and grow old together!

Two people wish to be consensual, have the best of both worlds, and stay in love forever!

Three wishes for good luck in three lives, may the three stars shine brightly, and we may be united forever!

 The ceremony is completed! "

Following the master of ceremony's rhythm, Li Yi and Liu Yifei carefully completed the three bows, and Li Yi also took off the round fan from Liu Yifei's hand.

 Behind the two of them, Zhao Jinmai held his hands and tried his best to suppress his excitement.

 She was almost fainted by the sweetness.

Suddenly, she heard a burst of sobbing. She turned around and saw that Wu Lei was crying so hard that her makeup was stained. She was extremely moved.

　　　…”

Zhao Jinmai was stunned, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he quietly moved away half a step.

This guy is so embarrassing!

 After the three prayers, the wedding ceremony is halfway over.

 Next, Li Yi and Liu Yifei went through the wedding ceremony, the prison ceremony, the union ceremony, and the ceremony of untying the knot, and then signed the marriage contract in the presence of everyone.

 At this point, according to tradition, Li Yi and Liu Yifei have become a legal couple.

"Heaven has made a good couple, and we have made this marriage. There are three letters and six etiquettes, and it is clear that the matchmaker is getting married. Next, please hold hands with the two newlyweds and tell heaven to thank God for the good match!"

 The ceremony of professing to heaven is the last and oldest part of a traditional wedding. It is the vows made by the two newlyweds to heaven.

Facing a house full of relatives and friends, Li Yi only had eyes for Liu Yifei.

Holding her hand, Li Yi looked into her eyes, smiled and said: "By the heavens, my new son-in-law Li Yi."

 “Bride Liu Yifei.”

 Liu Yifei also looked at him, her eyes full of tenderness: "Send to heaven."

“My husband and I thank God for a good match. We only wish to depend on each other, support each other, and spend the rest of our lives together until we grow old together!”
