In the traditional wedding of the Guangyao Empire, the husband first brings some relatives and friends to the wife's home to welcome the wife, and then the two of them come to the Temple of the Goddess of Marriage together with all the guests, sign the marriage contract under the witness of everyone, and then marry everyone Return to the wedding ceremony venue to celebrate together.In order to avoid the embarrassment of an unsuccessful marriage contract at the Temple of the Marriage Goddess that day, generally newlyweds will go ahead and sign the marriage contract under the witness of the goddess.

Yinluo did not have his own "home" in the Guangyao Empire, and the relationship between the two of them was not so clear, so the first step of welcoming the bride was omitted, and they could go directly to the temple with the guests.

Xi Shiyan set the temple to show the success of the bond in the largest and oldest marriage goddess temple in the Guangyao Empire.This temple is not far from the Duke’s Mansion, and has a history of more than 1000 years. However, because the weddings of important members of the imperial family are held here, almost every emperor will add to and renovate the temple before their wedding, so the temple has been well protected. Very good, the scale has been expanding, and the parts built in different periods can see the popular architectural style at that time.Therefore, it has always been loved by the architectural circles.

Another special thing about this temple is that, unlike other marriage goddess temples where there are only statues of the goddess of marriage or only the statues of the goddess of marriage and its subordinate gods, this temple still worships the goddess of marriage as the main god, but also enshrines the god of light, power Goddess, Goddess of the Sea, God of Darkness, God of Magic, God of Fire, and a series of important gods in mythology, these gods are enshrined in the upper part of the temple hall, and will witness the formation of the marriage contract in the temple together .

Therefore, the emperors of the Guangyao Empire will hold their weddings here, the purpose of which is to achieve the effect of "not only the goddess of marriage, but all the gods have witnessed our marriage".

Xi Shiyan took Yinluo's hand and walked out of the Duke's mansion together. A white magnolia petal fell on Yinluo's hand.

Yin Luo looked at the petals in his hand, was slightly stunned for a moment, threw off Xi Shi'an's hand and ran to the back of the mansion—thousands of magnolia trees were in full bloom, and they were like snowflakes. Under the magnolia tree was a large life magic power For a long time, these magnolias that are exhaling fragrance like exhausted life will be supplemented with a steady stream of vitality; and the other side of the magnolia flower sea is a sea transformed by magic.

The waves rise and fall, the tide ebbs and flows, and even a heart-shaped mountain can be faintly seen in the distance. The mountain reflects colorful lights under the reflection of the sun.Yinluo has always believed that every sea is alive, and every sea has its own unique appearance, which is different from other seas.And this is what he is most familiar with and misses the most, the scene of Biluosi sea area.

He suddenly remembered that when he was at sea, he always dragged Xi Shiyan to the wall to show him the most beautiful sea view in his eyes. These scenes are in the eyes.

At this moment, Xi Shiyan chased after him and took his hand.When he saw that Yinluo was looking at the magnolia flowers and the sea view, he unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, and coaxed in a soft voice: "Come back and see, we will hold the ceremony here later."

Yin Luo gave a "hmm" and nodded, obediently being dragged away by Xi Shiyan, but he still couldn't help but turned his head and took another look - he didn't look at the Biluo Sea Territory that Xi Shiyan transformed into, he looked at it It is the sea of ​​magnolia flowers, and the Duke's Mansion, which is so familiar every day.

Xi Shiyan dragged him into the limousine car decorated with platinum and two colors.

"Do you think the Goddess of Marriage will find us annoying?" Xi Shi'an held his lover's hand tightly and smiled, "Marriage, divorce, divorce failed, and now I'm going to get married again."

"I'm afraid that the God of Light will punish us." Yin Luo looked at him lightly and said, "You messed around in his temple last time, but this time you dare to choose to get married in a temple with so many gods."

"Then how can you call it a mess? I didn't do anything, I just kissed you." Xi Shi'an argued.

As he spoke, he leaned over and kissed Yin Luo's lips, staring into his silver gray eyes and said, "A Luo, do you still remember what we said when we got married?"

"forget."

"Liar," Xi Shiyan bit his partner's lip as punishment, thinking that he would get out of the car soon and dare not be too presumptuous, so he just licked it and said in a low voice, "At that time, you said, 'we will always Let's be together, okay', I said yes."

He reached out to caress Yin Luo's cheek, and carefully kissed his slightly trembling silver eyelashes: "Ah Luo, you were the first to say that we would always be together, you must not go back on your word."

Yin Luo didn't answer, and the car stopped at this moment.

The guests had already arrived first, and under the arrangement of Kress and the servants of the Duke's Palace, they sat down in the pre-arranged positions in the temple in an orderly manner.

Even arranging seats is not an easy task. Which nobles are at odds, which families belong to opposing camps, which families are close, who should sit in the front, who should sit in the back, and who should sit first. To be seated first, who will definitely come last... You must master all these things, and then arrange different people skillfully.But this matter will not trouble Kress, the old butler will never make a mistake in such a trivial matter.

Kress personally came over to open the car door for them, and whispered to Xi Shiyan at the same time: "My lord, Your Majesty and the Queen have arrived."

Xi Shiyan lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.

He got out of the car first, took the white silk satin gloves from Kress and put them on, then leaned slightly, stretched out his hand and pulled Yin Luo out.The two intertwined their fingers and walked into the temple covered with a new red velvet carpet together.

The solemn music sounded, and the guests who had been sitting spontaneously stood up one after another, welcoming the couple to enter the venue with applause.

The corners of Xi Shiyan's mouth have been raised unconsciously, his face is filled with unconcealable pride, pride and joy, his black eyes are full of longing for the future, he has been looking at his lover from the corner of his eye, his eyes Full of tenderness and sweetness.In contrast, Mrs. Xishi next to her was more restrained, and Yin Luo kept lowering her eyes as if nervous and uncomfortable, looking at the red carpet on the ground and the bluestone slabs in the distance from the corner of her eye.

"Don't be afraid," Xi Shi'an couldn't help lowering his voice to comfort him quietly, "We've already been married once. Although there are a little more people this time, it's the same as that time. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Yin Luo nodded slightly.

The ceremony for displaying the bond is personally presided over by the high priest of the temple.

The high priest is more than 100 years old, and he has always believed in and believed in the goddess of marriage. He presided over the first wedding of the current emperor.It is said that he will distribute the blessings of the Goddess of Marriage to the couple, and the couple who presides over the wedding ceremony by him will surely have a happy life.

After the newcomers enter the arena, the person with the highest status or the most respected in the audience will first express their blessings to the couple.Naturally, His Majesty the Emperor of the Guangyao Empire assumed this responsibility at this wedding—there was no one with a higher status than him.

It was the first time that Yin Luo had seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, Yi Huachi's father, Yi Huaming. He didn't look old at all, with thick black hair, a loud voice, a calm attitude, and a sense of humor in every gesture. The unique majesty of the superior.From Yin Luo's point of view, it would not be a problem for His Majesty the Emperor to work at his job for another 20 years. He couldn't help but wonder why Brother Yihuachi and his stepmother and younger brother would start to confront each other now.

After the emperor, the highest representative of the temple system, the great envoy of the Temple of Light also expressed his approval and blessing for the marriage of the Duke and Duchess of St. Magnolia on behalf of the God of Light.

Logically speaking, in the mainland god system, the God of Darkness and the God of Light have equal status, and they are both the masters of one god's domain.But the God of Darkness has always been a melancholy and gloomy image in the legends. In addition, ordinary people instinctively prefer the light, and there are not many beliefs in the God of Darkness in the world. Therefore, the Temple of Light has always had the highest status in the temple system on earth.To some extent, the great envoy representing the God of Light even has a higher status than the emperor.

However, this time the Great God Envoy failed.Just as he was about to step off the stage and walk back to his seat after expressing blessings on behalf of the God of Light, he staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the temple priest standing aside supported him.

"My lord, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I had been praying in the temple last night, so I was a little out of energy, and I was a little dizzy just now." The great envoy apologized to Xi Shi'an, and at the same time explained to everyone present.However, as an envoy who believed in the God of Light and firmly believed in the existence of God's will and power since childhood, he began to reflect in his heart whether he had misbehaved or violated the will of the God of Light recently, and decided to go to the temple to repent after returning— —He thought that the sudden dizziness just now was a warning from God.

The wedding continued, and the high priest led Xi Shi'an and Yin Luo to stand in front of the statue of the goddess of marriage and asked them to exchange marriage vows.

"Yinluo, can we always be together in the future? Promise me that no matter whether it is life or death, no matter where we go, no matter how the space we are in changes, we will never be separated. We love each other and belong to each other forever. "Xi Shiyan looked at his lover and said.

It's not a standard marriage vow, but it's equally valid, and anyone can hear the sincerity in it.

Yin Luo was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously glanced upwards from the corner of his eye. Above Xi Shiyan, there happened to be a statue of the God of Magic enshrined.At that moment, countless flying and chaotic black images flashed across his mind again, and like last time, nothing was left, and finally only a piece of white magnolia flowers fluttering and falling remained in front of his eyes.

Yin Luo opened his eyes, looking at his lover who was looking forward to him, his silver-gray eyelashes drooping down.

He replied softly: "Okay."
