Chapter 42: Conflict at the Wedding

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Wake up! Edward heard Lucy's voice in his ears in a daze, and the whole person crawled out of a comfortable sleep with difficulty.

When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the delicate faces of the two sisters, Luna and Lucy, with a hint of tiredness on their faces, but they did not hide their youthful brilliance in the slightest.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived at Fort Hudley!" Luna's voice is soft and comfortable, while Lucy's voice is crisp and lively.

"Yes! So what time is it! Edward asked, rubbing his newly opened eyes and yawning.

"Your Majesty, it's already eight o'clock in the evening!" Luna said softly, "Baron Seymour and Lady Catherine are waiting for you outside the carriage!" ”

"Yes! Then hurry up and tidy up my appearance, the king's appearance can't be rude! Edward heard Luna say that Baron Seymour and his wife were waiting outside, and then spoke to Lucy.

The Luna sisters began a tidying up campaign against Edward, who was at their mercy and cooperative.

Soon, Edward stepped out of the carriage, and in the blink of an eye he saw his cheap uncle, Thomas. Baron Seymour, and his former stepmother, Catherine. Pal.

"My dear uncle, it was a pleasure to see you!" Edward said with a smile on his face when he saw Baron Seymour. Of course, he didn't forget the former queen either.

"Also, who is this beautiful lady next to you? There is such a beloved lady in this world, and I have to feel sorry for other ladies! Edward joked to the former Queen Catherine.

"Hehehe......" Catherine was very happy with Edward's flattery, how could a woman not like to be praised.

"Edward! Your compliments make me feel like honey! ”

"I will definitely attract the favor of many beautiful ladies in the future!" Catherine teased Edward, her eyes smiling, and she could tell that she was in a good mood.

"Edward! It's a pleasure to have you come to our wedding! Baron Seymour was also very happy, obviously Edward, as the king of England, could come to their wedding, which was a very face-saving thing for Baron Seymour. Add a lot of color to their wedding.

"You're welcome! My uncle, this is what I should do! Edward said modestly, but Catherine's compliment made him happy.

The three of them laughed and walked slowly into Fort Hudley, but the lights were already on.

After attending the welcome party, Edward was led by a budding maid to the largest guest room in the castle.

"Your Majesty! Is there anything else you need? The little maid's voice was delicate, tickling in the heart, she looked like she was about thirteen years old at most, but she was very well developed, and if Luna was a peach, then she was an apple.

"No need! You go down first! Edward commanded with a pretense of gesture.

In fact, Edward can keep her, but Edward can't get over the hurdle in his heart, after all, he is not fully developed! If you have sex too early, you won't live long.

Emperors in history were exposed to women too early, resulting in a long life. For example, the last emperor Pu Yi, this poor child, because he was tempted by the maid too early, was directly abolished later. It's a pity! None of the descendants of the Aixin Jueluo family remained.

Edward lay in his room, staring out the window, feeling that he was better off staying in the villa.

When I looked up, the wet walls were covered with moss, and the windows were small and high, and I felt that the air in the room was not circulating.

Thinking about it, Edward thought of Luna's little peach, Elizabeth's little steamed bun, and the little apple just now, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Edward woke up and saw Lucy standing by the bed, as if waiting for Edward to wake up.

"Lucy! What time is it! Edward saw that it was already dawn and couldn't help asking.

"Your Majesty! It's six o'clock in the morning! Lucy looked a little excited.

"Really? Serve me and get dressed! Edward's tone felt a little hurried.

After breakfast, Edward went to the Great Hall. Sure enough, Baron Seymour and they were waiting for him, of course, the Duke and Duchess of Somerset and Catherine's younger brother, the Marquess of Northampton, William and his wife, and Catherine's uncle, the Duke and Duchess of Houghton.

Catherine was wearing a white wedding dress, and under the sun, the whole person looked very white and tender, and she couldn't tell that she was a woman of forty years old at all.

After 40 days of marriage, Baron Seymour and Catherine went through the final step of their marriage - marriage.

On this wedding day, their family and friends wore full attire, such as the Duke of Somerset with a flower crown and the Duke of Parr with a crown of gold and silver.

The young girls have flowing hair, and their long hair is very eye-catching in the crowd, and this represents chastity. Some of them are covered with tulle, and each of them dresses themselves up completely beautiful to set off the joy of a better day.

The Seymours came to the church in the company of the Duke and Duchess of Somerset and the Marquess of Northampton, Parr, the Duke of Houghton, and Edward himself, as well as the nobles who came to visit him.

There were no cameras at that time, so the witnesses of the newlyweds often slapped each other and cheered loudly to make the scene more deeply imprinted in their minds.

So, Edward saw an old man, swinging freely, very postmodernist, but Edward was already smiling at this time, but he still maintained his image, and this torture was very uncomfortable.

Later, the congregation Mass was attended in the church, where the couple had to cover their heads with the same veil, and if they had children, they had to put them under their wedding dresses, which was omitted when they had no children.

In the middle of the Mass, there will be a solemn wedding blessing, in which the two will exchange rings again.

The meaning of this time is different from the engagement, the ring is worn on the finger, and there is a theory that it is because the blood vessels in the finger go straight to the heart, which means that the hearts of both parties agree to the marriage. During the Mass, the husband and wife share the same consecrated sacrament bread and drink the same consecrated glass of wine, indicating that they are one in Christ, and then Baron Seymour accompanies Catherine to the altar of the Virgin Mary, where Catherine picks up a hand-spun rod and spins thread for a while, which is also a symbol of his wifely status.

After the Mass, the couple was escorted to the church by friends and clergy, where they were to go to the cemetery to pray for their forgotten relatives, implying that their marriage required the presence of the whole family.

After the cemetery prayers, the carnival begins.

Friends and relatives of the Seymours would sprinkle handfuls of grain on the couple's body and say, "More, more." This is a beautiful meaning, and the birth of a child is a blessing from God for them.

In the Anglo-Saxon region, this custom is a magical ritual that guarantees the birth of more children, while in other regions it varies according to the custom. Some sprinkled snow, some sawdust, some small scraps of paper, all sorts of things.

Of course, there are always good wines and feasts, and even when drunk to the extreme, everyone dances and sings together, and this Western interest is still preserved in various celebrations today.

Edward was immersed in this joyful atmosphere, and slowly walked around in the company of Lucy. Many noble ladies came to talk to them, but Edward refused.

"Bang!" Edward suddenly heard a commotion, followed by the sound of a glass breaking.
