Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1253 - 1138: The Wedding in Progress

It was precisely because of Lin Yi’s insistence that this truly Chinese-style wedding could be carried out.

While he was discussing matters with the master of ceremonies, on Xiao Zihan’s side preparations were likewise in full swing.

In the blink of an eye it was already the early hours before dawn, and in no time it was almost the moment of the grand wedding.

Watching the seconds tick by on the watch on his wrist, Lin Yi’s heart was also incomparably tense.

It wasn’t just him who was nervous; Xiao Zihan’s side was equally on edge.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Ye, Lin Jianguo, and Grandma Xiao, among others, had all changed into festive clothing.

And according to protocol, Lin Jianguo even directly changed into a Dragon Robe.

This really has to be mentioned: when Lin Jianguo saw these Dragon Robes, he was instantly stunned on the spot.

His eyes went wide, and for a moment he almost couldn’t believe what he was seeing was real.

He had never imagined that one day he would actually be able to wear a Dragon Robe, and that it would be thanks to his son’s good fortune.

In fact, this was entirely within reason.

After all, Lin Jianguo’s status was that of Taishang Huang.

The Taishang Huang is naturally also an Emperor; although the one currently ruling is Lin Yi, the Taishang Huang also needs to wear a Dragon Robe.

It’s just that his Dragon Robe was slightly different from Lin Yi’s.

Lin Yi’s was pure golden yellow, whereas his was golden yellow mixed with black, which was enough to show the difference in their status.

And when Empress Dowager Ye saw Lin Jianguo in this Dragon Robe, she couldn’t help but be amused.

Although Lin Jianguo was still rather handsome, he had, after all, reached a certain age.

And since he was a very kind and amiable person, he lacked that imperial bearing.

When he put on this Dragon Robe, no matter how he wore it, he just couldn’t bring out that emperor’s aura.

Unlike Lin Yi: as long as he released just a bit of his presence, his pressure could instantly fill the entire hall.

Even that expression of majesty without anger came easily to him; this was a skill he had honed over so many years as Emperor, and also the confidence the system gave him.

"The time has come! The grand wedding begins!"

With a loud, ringing shout, the great bell atop the bell tower immediately began to toll with deep dong-dong-dong sounds.

The bell’s peal was loud enough to spread across the entire Capital City.

The commoners, who had already received word of today’s grand wedding, had at this time spontaneously run outside, to the city gates and along the streets, and started celebrating together.

And as the sound rang out, apart from the bell tolling, on a nearby hillside someone suddenly waved a hand, and countless firebrands were thrust toward the objects before them.

As soon as those firebrands touched the square boxes, streaks of flame shot up into the sky, and in an instant the entire sky above the Capital City was covered in a canopy of brilliant fireworks.

That’s right, what was going on now was the setting off of fireworks.

Of course, these fireworks were not produced in this era, but specially collected by Lin Yi from the later generations.

And because in the later generations, for the sake of environmental protection, many places no longer allowed fireworks and firecrackers, while here there was no such concern, he could set off as many as he liked, entirely according to his own wishes.

Just like now, the fireworks practically blanketed the entire Capital City; such a sight would be absolutely impossible to see in later generations, and the magnificence of these fireworks was beyond description.

You could see this just from the looks in the eyes of the people in the Capital City at this moment.

They craned their necks, gazing up at the brilliant fireworks in the sky, all of them already dumbstruck on the spot.

What on earth was going on? What exactly were these things?

After a moment, when they finally reacted, they all dropped to their knees with a thud, one after another.

At the same time, they shouted loudly that this was a blessing from Heaven, a blessing from Heaven upon His Majesty.

After all, they had never seen fireworks before, so when they first saw such a thing, they naturally thought of Heaven’s favor.

They also knew that this Emperor was an Immortal-like figure; that such a miracle would appear was nothing more than normal.

At the same time, they silently began praying in their hearts for Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan.

With such an Emperor and such an Empress, how could they not prosper?

Of course, these fireworks were not part of the original procedures in the wedding rites; they were something Lin Yi had added after discussing it with the Ministry of Rites.

They were Lin Yi’s addition.

These fireworks were naturally meant for Xiao Zihan and the others to see.

At this moment, in her own palace hall, Xiao Zihan lifted her head to look at the sky full of dazzling fireworks, and for a moment she was utterly entranced.

The feeling was simply too wondrous.

Just a moment ago she had been incredibly nervous, but as the fireworks soared into the sky, her heart gradually relaxed.

Seeing the girl’s intoxicated expression, Grandma Xiao couldn’t help but walk over with great satisfaction and take her hand.

At this moment, Lin Yi had already gone, as required by the Ministry of Rites, to the designated location.

During the grand wedding, the first thing Lin Yi had to do was to offer sacrifice to Heaven and Earth, to announce to Heaven and Earth that he was taking a wife.

Originally, Lin Yi had wanted to cancel this part, but when he thought of the unfathomable system and everything he had experienced, he gave up the idea.
