Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day Chapter 1612 Love Forever

Moment by moment, the golden light slowly tinged the sky's blue and white hues. The azure heavens resembled smooth silk, enhancing the graceful shine of the golden glazed tiles.

Luxury vehicles streamed continuously along the broad avenue. Helicopters whirred overhead. The typically dignified palace buzzed with unprecedented excitement today.

Bodyguards lined both sides of the street, forcing bystanders to observe from a distance and gaze curiously at the palace. Crowds thronged the road's edges, worsening the already jammed traffic.

"Wow, marriage makes sense, but wasting all this manpower and resources, disrupting us regular folks—it's over the top. Who is she anyway? She's really…"

Before the complainer could wrap up, bodyguards surged ahead, pulled out red packets, and started handing them out. "Today marks CEO Jun and CEO Xia's wedding. Apologies for the disruption to your day. CEO Xia ordered us to distribute red packets to everyone."

The bodyguards then pressed the red packets into the bystanders' hands one after another. Recipients tore them open and gasped in astonishment.

"This much?!"

"Beyond red packets, CEO Xia wants to thank you for your support. Post-wedding today, join the lucky draw on her Weibo. A million chances total, with prizes from various Xia Corporation products."

Once the bodyguards spoke, the crowd lost all desire to gripe. Blessings poured forth as they eagerly awaited the post-wedding draw.

Red packets in hand, people lined the roadside clutching flowers, poised for the wedding procession to draw near for a close-up view of the grand event.

Time ticked onward slowly. Onlookers swelled along the road's sides, their excitement mounting with the wait. Yet, no wedding car appeared at the distant horizon.

As speculation arose about some mishap, Weibo overflowed with images and clips of the Dragon Phoenix Carriage.

In truth, the wedding faced no issues. Simply, prior to palace entry, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan rode the Dragon Phoenix Carriage around the inner city.

Though the Great Xia Dynasty was long gone, Jun Shiling revived its wedding rites as faithfully as possible. Sixteen prized white horses drew the Dragon Phoenix Carriage, adorned entirely with gems that sparkled in the sun.

Flowers mounded lavishly around the carriage. Sheer phantom gauze veiled the interior, yet faint outlines revealed a graceful pair inside.

A gentle gust parted a flap of the gauze. Faintly visible, Xia Wanyuan rested against Jun Shiling's shoulder. Their shared gaze seemed to still the world around them.

[ Help, why does it feel like I've time-traveled to ancient times? So stunning. Chinese weddings truly reign supreme. ]

[ What's up with this breeze? Can't catch Xia Wanyuan's face. Dying to see her in a traditional Chinese gown. She'd be breathtaking. ]

[ Everyone's eyeing the couple, but I'm fixated on that carriage. Insanely lavish. Craving a touch of those gems. Sob, any hope in my lifetime? ]

While the world rejoiced for Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling, the carriage formed its own intimate realm.

"Tired? Have some tea." Jun Shiling brewed a steaming cup for Xia Wanyuan and passed it over considerately.

"Not thirsty." Xia Wanyuan declined with a shake of her head, raising the phoenix crown's bead curtain to peer out.

Spring winds bore sunlight's warmth across the path, rustling willows and scattering petals into alley mouths, gilding the earth.

Xia Wanyuan remembered years back, her arrival in this time also during spring, traversing this very road by car.

"Lost in thought?" Noticing her outward stare, Jun Shiling clasped her hand more firmly.

"Pretty good." Xia Wanyuan turned back, eyes sparkling as she regarded the striking man before her.

"What's good?" Jun Shiling queried, a touch confused.

"Everything's pretty good." Xia Wanyuan's lips curved faintly as she proactively embraced Jun Shiling's waist.

From that initial encounter and budding affection to now sharing a lifetime—it was truly wonderful.

The stunning beauty flung herself straight into his embrace. Jun Shiling stopped pondering Xia Wanyuan's intentions altogether. He lifted his arm to pull Xia Wanyuan close, softly caressing her hair. "Sleep for a while. We'll be there in half an hour. I'll call you later."

Upon climbing into the car, Xia Wanyuan still appeared extremely tense. But cradled in Jun Shiling's arms now, every bit of her anxiety melted away. She nodded gently and shut her eyes to rest.

As Xia Wanyuan slumbered, the vehicle traced the designated path, circling the whole inner city before halting at the palace gates.

By then, throngs of guests had assembled at the palace entrance. Every invitee to this grand wedding held power to rattle the world with a single step.

Figures usually glimpsed only on screens, factions rarely uniting even over centuries, now converged for one extraordinary wedding.

Regardless of past rivalries, right now, all had gathered to celebrate Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

Beneath the crowd's eager stares, the curtain parted, unveiling a duo of unmatched splendor.

Xia Wanyuan donned a lavish phoenix-embroidered bridal gown, its trailing skirt alive with dragons and phoenixes. Golden threads caught the sun's rays, setting the robe aglow like a celestial consort's. Though veiled by the coronet's beads, her regal poise shone through.

Grasping Xia Wanyuan's hand, Jun Shiling led her onto the red carpet. Amid showers of flowers and heartfelt blessings, they advanced slowly toward the palace.

As the pair progressed, vivid 3D projections sprang up along the carpet's edges, displaying cherished moments from Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan's everyday life.

The carpet beneath them bloomed into a sea of three thousand petals. Dragons and phoenixes danced overhead, while swirling blossoms carried the couple to the ceremony platform.

Seated upfront in a crisp suit, Old Master Jun gazed at his grandson and new granddaughter-in-law with a beaming smile, his eyes brimming with contentment. "It's been no easy journey to reach this point. Cherish one another from here on. The Jun family's future rests on you two."

"Don't worry, Grandpa," Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan responded together.

"Good, good, good." Old Master Jun nodded vigorously. Glancing at Xia Wanyuan, he remembered Old Priest Zhang's words. "A match made in heaven, a golden fate."

At Old Master Jun's remark, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan exchanged smiles.

After Old Master Jun's benediction, the couple performed the traditional Great Xia Dynasty bows to heaven and earth. Before the world's eyes, they sealed their long-awaited union.

Five-hued fireworks burst across the heavens, petals cascading endlessly. The effects crew transformed the venue ceaselessly, as lanterns around the guests unfurled to reveal glittering jewels—gifts for all attendees.

On the platform, having completed the bows, Xia Wanyuan ought to have departed with Jun Shiling. Yet after a couple of steps, she paused.

Jun Shiling, sensing her thoughts, halted alongside her.

Xia Wanyuan pivoted, scanning down from the stage.

An Rao caught Xia Wanyuan's look. Despite her towering ten-centimeter heels, she bounced up, waving wildly in excitement. Bo Xiao lingered nearby, gazing at her with tender affection, unchanged from their first encounter.

Dressed in a sharp suit with a rose in hand, Xia Yu stood lost in contemplation. Xia Wanyuan knew of his dilemmas with the Lin family girl, thanks to Jun Shiling. Though tempted to inquire, she held back. Xia Yu was mature now; she trusted he'd pick his own best path.

The children clustered joyfully, their faces radiant like dew-kissed sunflowers, bursting with vibrant energy and hopes for tomorrow.

A bit farther from the stage, Xuan Sheng stood tall in his tailored suit. Gone was the initial cockiness; now, tempered like jade under years of Buddha's glow, he exuded serenity. He watched Xia Wanyuan calmly, a gentle smile in his eyes.

An Lin escorted An Luo to the wedding ceremony. By this point, An Lin had fully transferred control of the family to An Luo. Following over a decade of development, An Luo had grown into a capable family leader. Still, whenever facing An Lin, An Luo always preserved his sense of reliance.

Chu Yi, the one who had solely driven Xia Wanyuan away from the modern era back then, was also present. Unlike a decade earlier, Chu Yi now carried a subtle, contained melancholy, an emotion that truly did not suit him.

..........

"Bride, if you look at other men, I'll be jealous." Moments later, Jun Shiling's amused voice suddenly whispered into Xia Wanyuan's ear.

She at last regained her focus. That fleeting glance moments before had truly pulled her attention away.

Xia Wanyuan drew back her eyes and allowed the bead curtain to drop once more. Her crimson lips parted just a bit. "Let's go."

Time inevitably transforms countless elements. Nothing endures forever unchanged.

Having everyone together was all that mattered.

Furthermore,

Xia Wanyuan glanced back at Jun Shiling, who clasped her hand while they advanced, and a gentle warmth filled her heart. Moreover, whatever lay ahead in the future, she steadfastly trusted that Jun Shiling would remain by her side.

Seeming to share a mental connection, Jun Shiling turned his gaze to Xia Wanyuan. His profound eyes brimmed solely with her image. "I'll always be here and love you forever."

"I'm here too, I will love you forever."

........

Far in the distant future, at an elementary school in a secluded town, pupils studied notable figures who had rendered great services to China's history.

The books contained numerous renowned giants, yet only a pair drew the students' full interest.

"Teacher, why are the introductions of others all about physicists and literature? Only Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan are different. Jun Shiling's introduction is Xia Wanyuan's husband, and Xia Wanyuan's introduction Jun Shiling's wife. How strange."

This wasn't the initial occasion for such an inquiry. Virtually every pupil raised this point. The teacher straightened his glasses with a smile.

"They requested it that way themselves. Xia Wanyuan's existence was truly legendary. She stood as China's greatest literary master, a lifetime professor at Qing University, a celebrated musician, historian, diplomat, and leader of the Xiafeng Group. She even guided the Chinese squad to secure numerous Olympic gold medals, contributing immensely in countless ways.

Yet ultimately, Xia Wanyuan instructed her offspring to record just 'Jun Shiling's wife' as the essence of her lifetime."

The children attentively heard the teacher recount the famed legends of Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, then voiced their bewilderment.

"Teacher, is this love?"

"Yes, time changes but love lasts."
