Chapter 37: The Grand Wedding
The morning light slowly rose with a slightly dim halo, and as the dimness turned into brilliance, the night was gradually torn into mottled shadows.
The morning of the Empire of Chila was completely different from hell, but it was a similar picture to the earth. There are days and nights in hell, and there are also cycles of the sun and the moon, but the sun in hell is the color of blood, and the red is terrifying, while the moon in hell is the dark red after the blood has dried up, and the red is gloomy and bleak.
The Qila Empire is different, although the pair of sun and moon are man-made and installed on the dome of the ground, they still follow the law of rising in the east and setting in the west.
Tussaud got up early, but she slept well, and the exhaustion of last night's frolic until midnight did not show a trace in her watery eyes. The morning light gently caressed her face through the window, taking away the contours of her face, turning into a wisp of shadow that fell into the soft satin on the bed, and one glance at the faint shadow of the side face could tell what kind of peerless face its owner was.
She sat up from the bed and blushed her nose, it smelled good.
Zagara got up earlier, and she was no longer seen in the dormitory, so she must have gone to the wedding venue in advance.
Du Sha woke up Ning Xiaoqian, washed up briefly, and prepared to rush to the White Building. The wedding will be held in the courtyard of the White House, where the greenery is like a blanket and the cherry blossoms are falling, and the whole country will not find a better place to hold a wedding. The predecessor of the White House was the military platform when Ding Jiayi ascended the throne and married Zagara, and it was a surprisingly quiet and beautiful place in the bustling city center of the capital Angela.
Zagara and Tussaud married the same person at different times, in the same place, as if everything was arranged by fate.
The corners of Ding Jiayi's mouth were raised high in his sleep, and he seemed unwilling to break free from the embrace of happiness even in the few hours he had been asleep.
"Oops, oops, Qianqian, you put down ......" Ding Jiayi was interrupted by Ning Xiaoqian in the way of sacrificing one ear, and he didn't even dare to get up in front of his eldest wife.
The three of them rushed to Bailou in the special car of the Insect Emperor, along the way Ning Xiaoqian and Du Sha talked and laughed, and Ding Jiayi stared at the sun overhead through the car window.
Today is a cloudy day, the sun is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the sun cannot break free, so it can only do its best to sprinkle the remnants of the body, desperately bringing residual heat to the people on the earth. Ding Jiayi smiled knowingly - this sun is really like.
The special car was parked outside the courtyard of the White Building, and there were already people busy preparing on the grass in the courtyard.
The red velvet carpet, the white feather arches, and the bright red and white combination aim to start with prosperity and return to calmness, suggesting that people forget the hustle and bustle of the past and spend the rest of their lives together.
Elder Scorpion came out, glanced around the three of them, and wondered a little, "Your Majesty, why didn't Her Highness the Queen of Worms come?"
Ding Jiayi was even more puzzled: "Didn't she come early?
Elder Scorpion scratched his head, "No, I didn't see her?"
Ning Xiaoqian interrupted their questioning, "Last night, Gala kept talking about what she was afraid of missing from the wedding, maybe she went to buy something, right?" Sasha, you go in and get ready, you will have to put on makeup for a while." ”
Elder Scorpion saluted and led the three of them into the courtyard, and Ding Jiayi glanced up at the sun and found that the sky was even more cloudy.
A lounge in the White Building was temporarily used as a dressing room, and several butterfly maids were busy rubbing all kinds of pastels on Tussaud's face, and there was a maid behind her who was carefully curling her hair.
While these maids were busy, they couldn't help but praise:
"Your Royal Highness, you are really naturally beautiful, even if you don't wear makeup, you are beautiful. "According to the rules of the Zerg, in addition to the Worm Queen, the woman who remarries the Worm Emperor should be named the imperial concubine, although the title of the imperial concubine is a part of the wedding, but now it is not inappropriate for the maids to call her so in advance.
Tussaud looked at the incomparably delicate face in the mirror, and the corners of her mouth raised into a confident smile. She will not be shy or even embarrassed because of the praise of others, especially those who praise her beauty, she can't count from childhood to adulthood, after all, she has a resounding title among the Ereda clan - the eighteenth layer of beauty.
Extremely beautiful things often carry a sense of oppression, making people afraid to approach easily, just like a piece of exquisite crystal, touching it, afraid of breaking, picking it up, afraid of staining dirty fingerprints.
However, Tussaud's beauty has overridden all this, her smile can make a hundred flowers bloom, her tears can cause heaven and earth to sympathize, no matter what gesture is a lovely beauty.
The best view is not far away.
......
......
Ding Jiayi, accompanied by the scorpion elder, kept greeting the guests in the courtyard, and those who could come to attend the Worm Emperor's wedding were either the Imperial Yuan or the local magnates, all of whom were the same figures as the Zerg Clan.
The head of the Capital Military Region, Anubarak, also came, taking off his special marshal's uniform, and the two huge beetle wings exposed behind the black suit looked a little funny. He saw Ding Jiayi from a distance, then walked over quickly, saluted a military salute, picked up a glass of wine from the table, and raised a glass of blessing to the Insect Emperor.
Ding Jiayi picked up the wine glass and touched it with him, drank it all, and then beckoned him aside.
"Chief, what's the situation of the Divine Bee Attack Team in the past two days?"
Anubarak smiled and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, in the past few days, Captain Liuli has been expanding the team according to His Majesty's orders, and now there are 300 people." ”
Ding Jiayi was a little surprised, "The speed is so fast, is there any compromise in quality?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm in charge. ”
Ding Jiayi patted him on the shoulder, "You must take care of this pass, this team will be the killer of the Zerg in the future, and you can't relax in the slightest." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Anubarak saluted, apparently taking his request as a military order.
At this time, Elder Scorpion hurriedly walked to Ding Jiayi's side and whispered:
"Your Majesty, everything is ready, the wedding will start soon, but Her Highness the Queen of Worms has not returned. ”
Yesterday Zagala volunteered to officiate the wedding for him and Tussaud, but now that she is nowhere to be seen, how can the wedding continue?
"What the hell is this mother worm?"
Ning Xiaoqian comforted: "Don't worry, Gala knows the priorities, maybe there is something urgent for a while, and wait for her for a while." Ding Jiayi nodded helplessly, so he could only wait.
He glanced at the sun again, the sun continued to struggle uselessly in the dark clouds, and a few rays of light escaped with a few rays of light, and the blazing white that had shone on the earth in the past now turned into a dark gray covering the top of people's heads, this gray was too dim to reflect the shadow of the things it shone on the ground, but it left a rich shadow in Ding Jiayi's heart.
An hour has passed, and the time when the wedding should have started has long passed, and the shadow in Ding Jiayi's heart is like a puddle of water that has been knocked to the ground, flowing and spreading in all directions, accompanied by anxious flames, as if it is about to gradually boil.
Tussaud had already put on her makeup, set her head, put on her gorgeous wedding dress, and waited for the beginning of the sacred moment in the White Building. She looked in the mirror again and again to make sure that her makeup was impeccable, she confirmed that it was the most beautiful moment of her life, and she couldn't help but be anxious for her sweetheart to appreciate this beauty, but time passed minute by minute, and no one came to tell her to go out.
"Your Majesty, you can't wait any longer, it's already unseemly to make the guests wait for so long, and the wedding won't be able to happen if you wait any longer!" Elder Scorpion said urgently.
Ding Jiayi's face was as cold as frost, "Wait!"
Elder Scorpion sighed and didn't dare to persuade again.
Another hour passed, and if it hadn't been for the maid to stop her, Tussaud had almost rushed out on her own. Ding Jiayi still looked up at the sun, the dark clouds in the sky obscured the sun, the shadow in his chest wrapped his heart, and he had some difficulty breathing.
"I really can't wait any longer", this time it was Ning Xiaoqian who was talking, "Xiaoyi, let Elder Scorpion preside over the wedding, let's start now, ah?"
Ding Jiayi's gaze moved away from the sun and glanced at a circle of guests, each of whom had an anxious look on their faces. Two hours earlier, Anubaraq had sent men to search for Zagara, but to no avail, and an hour earlier, the Minister of Defence, General Oro, had been restless and had personally led a large group of men and men to search the entire capital, but to no avail.
Ding Jiayi barely suppressed the panic in his heart, "Elder Scorpion, you come to preside over the wedding, let's start." ”
Elder Scorpion rushed into the White Mansion as if he had been pardoned, "Miss Tussaud, the wedding will start soon, as soon as you hear music outside, go out, understand?"
"Understood!" the anxiety in Tussaud's eyes faded and glowed.
Elder Scorpion returned to the altar in front of the White Building, and said loudly in front of everyone:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I now announce that the marriage ceremony between His Majesty the Worm Emperor and Miss Tussauds has officially begun!"
As soon as the words fell, the salute that had been prepared around the courtyard was instantly ignited, and the salute rushed into the sky with the light of the fire, exploding in the sky, briefly dispelling the clouds in the sky.
Immediately after, the sacred and solemn wedding march was played in the hands of the butterfly piano girls, and with the sound of music, Tussauds slowly walked out of the door of the white building.
In the courtyard, all the guests could not suppress their exclamations, they had never seen such a beautiful bride, her body was simply a collection of all the beauty in the world, pure, sexy, bewitching, lovely, coquettish, all kinds of beauty mixed together, but there was no contradiction between each other, and finally merged into perfection.
The shadow in Ding Jiayi's heart was also diluted a little by this perfection, he smiled and stared at Tussaud who was slowly walking towards him surrounded by maids, the two looked at each other, there were no more impurities in their eyes, only each other.
"Please step into the red carpet for the bride and groom!" shouted Elder Scorpion, his face flushed with excitement.
Tussaud grabbed Ding Jiayi's arm, stretched out her trembling right foot and stepped on the red carpet - taking this step means that there is no more succubus girl Tussaud in hell, and from now on, she is the gorgeous 18th-layer Madame Ding.
The two walked slowly on the red carpet, walking towards the white-feathered arch at the end, lined with cute Zerg children constantly sprinkling lilac petals on their heads.
Tussaud deliberately slowed down, she still remembered that Zagala had prepared a lot of petals, which could be sprinkled for a long, long time, and she enjoyed the feeling of bathing in the sea of flowers at the moment, of course, more nervous about stepping on the white feather arch.
The arch stands on the high platform at the end of the red carpet, according to the Zerg etiquette, the bride and groom have finished the red carpet, the groom has to step up to the high platform first, and then stretch out his hands to pull the bride up, once the bride also steps on the high platform, it means that everything about them from now on no longer belongs to them - the talent of the groom, the beauty of the bride, and the rest of their lives.
Although the red carpet is long, there is always an end, no matter how slow the pace of the two is, they finally came to the bottom of the high platform.
There is only one step away, only one more step, and the two red threads of life will be entangled, and there is no other way to separate them except to cut them down and cut them at the same time.
When entering the red carpet, Tussauds took the first step, and now to get out of the red carpet, Ding Jia and B need to take the last step. Tussaud's eyes turned into a puddle of spring water, and she looked at her sweetheart affectionately, waiting for him to lead her to stand on the high platform.
Most of the time, silence is the medicine to end quarrels, it is a wise way to avoid disputes, and if a person knows how to be silent, then he has a virtue. However, at this moment, silence is the cold water that extinguishes passion, the executioner who cuts off expectations, cold and ruthless between the two.
In the endless silence, the happy look on Ding Jiayi's face turned into worry, then into contradictions, and finally into guilt.
Tussaud's hands were trembling slightly from beginning to end, just because of excitement, now because of fear, and she didn't know what she was afraid of.
Ding Jiayi slowly closed his eyes, closed them for a long time, and when he opened them again, the guilt in his eyes had swallowed Tussaud completely, he picked up Tussaud's delicate face and kissed her on the forehead.
It turned out that he was at odds with whether to kiss me, and Tussaud's fear turned to sweetness, and a smile appeared on his face with crimson.
The kiss was so long that the love on his lips passed through Tussaud's forehead and was imprinted in her mind.
He slowly let go of the kiss, but the guilt in his eyes did not dissipate.
"I love you, I'm sorry ......"
The black wings broke through the barrier of the white suit and stretched out on his back, and he flapped the black wings and flew into the distant sky, as if to remove the dark clouds and return the sun to the earth.
The crimson smile was still condensed on Tussaud's face, but it was washed pale by two lines of crystal tears.
