The King’s Enchanting Chapter 1804 - 1818: The Grand Finale (Part 21)
Previously on The King’s Enchanting...
What a pity, they were too far away. How could the two people on stage possibly hear the little one crying down below?
Since they’d prepared ancient-style outfits, the wedding itself naturally had to follow the old customs too.
The Emcee was also dressed in silk and satin, standing at the top of the stairs. He spoke into the microphone, "The auspicious hour has arrived!"
Music started up in the room. Naturally it wasn’t "The Wedding March," but the ancient guqin piece "Phoenix Seeks Its Mate," which was quite fitting for the occasion. Below the stage, at the end of the long red carpet, Xiaobao and the little Leng dumpling—one boy, one girl—were also dressed in tiny ancient costumes, looking like New Year’s picture dolls as they followed Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning forward.
It wasn’t just Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning on stage. Once everything was set up, several chairs were arranged up there, with both sets of parents seated. On Yu Zexiao’s side, both parents were present, and his grandparents had also taken their seats.
Of course, on Jian Anning’s side, it naturally wasn’t Jian Panying, but Qiu Yixian and Qin Yishu—well, godmother and godfather. Even if there are no parents, there will always be a few elders to stand in.
At this point, the two little ones could only be ruthlessly dumped to the side and scooped up by the two daughters-in-law of the Leng Family. Luo Qingxue was holding Little Sweet Potato, while Mu Qingyu had Little Sweet Potato sprawled in her arms as well; next to them Zhao Ziyin was holding Mo Yangyang, with Mu Shang’en beside her. Maybe because all the little ones were together, Little Sweet Potato and Little Sweet Potato weren’t as shy anymore—especially Mo Yangyang, who grinned as he fished a few soft milk candies out of his pocket and stuffed one into each little brother’s mouth. "Here, little brothers, have some candy!"
The two little ones were both over a year old now; they were still muddle‑headed, but the natural instinct children have for loving candy was instantly triggered. With tears still on their faces, they sucked on the candies, and somehow didn’t cry as much anymore.
Mu Shang’en at this moment looked like a little grown‑up, taking out tissues to wipe the drool from the corners of his two little brothers’ mouths.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth!" When Jian Anning bowed, she was standing high up, and the red bridal veil flew up at one corner, just enough for her to catch a glimpse of the two little ones down below.
One look, and she was almost furious to death!
The two brats were eating so happily, even playing together with Leng Xiaobao’s dog—a little snow‑white Welsh. Seeing that Little Sweet Potato was quite bold, Luo Qingxue picked up a piece of duck neck and shoved it into Little Sweet Potato’s paw, teasing the dog into rolling all over the floor. Little Sweet Potato was laughing away, and Little Sweet Potato had also stopped crying, sucking on his fingers and watching, totally absorbed.
Weren’t you supposed to be heartbroken and miserable? Weren’t you supposed to feel awful the moment Mom wasn’t around? Looks to me like you’re having a pretty good time!
She hadn’t even had time to think any further when the Emcee loudly called out again, "Second bow to the high hall!"
The two of them turned around and knelt down before Yu Zexiao’s parents and grandparents, as well as Qin Yishu and Qiu Yixian on the other side.
The four members of the Yu Family were relatively calm. After all, Jian Anning had moved into the Yu Family five years ago; they just hadn’t officially married until now. But Qiu Yixian and Qin Yishu on the other side were overwhelmed with emotion. Little Yiyi from back then had already grown up. She only hated that she hadn’t been there by her side to help her when she needed it most!
Of course, even if back then she had received news of Ma Xinyu’s death, as long as Jian Panying had not actually abused her, then by law, Qiu Yixian still wouldn’t have been allowed to adopt this child. But she was still deeply remorseful, because her own negligence had made this child suffer many more years of hardship!
At this moment, what right did she have to let this child kneel and bow to her?
