The King’s Enchanting Chapter 1807 - 1821: Finale (Part 2)

You know what the most outrageous part of this retro-style wedding is?

The most outrageous part is: while Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning are eating up there on stage, the guests all have to sit down below and watch!

And to stop them from escaping this "torture" of watching the two of them eat up there, Yu Zexiao even came up with a killer move—he simply doesn’t serve them any food!

So the whole hall of guests can only watch as Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning drink their cross-cupped wine, then each snip off a lock of the other’s hair and braid it into a love knot, grandly calling it "eternal union of hearts."

Most importantly, the two of them, right in front of all these hungry guests, eat a bowl of "joint prison meal" together!

The rice has all kinds of grains in it, plus red dates, peanuts, longan, more dates, cooked into eight-treasure sticky rice, symbolizing "may you have a child soon."

Right now, those two "precious children" are sitting on Luo Qingxue and Mu Qingyu’s laps. Especially Little Sweet Potato, who is still sucking on his candy with tears in his eyes.

A ring of adults around them are all staring at the two on stage eating away, looking like they’re enjoying every bite—every grain has to be finished, not a single one left, otherwise what, you two don’t want to get married properly anymore? If the food gets stuck in your throat you can still wash it down with wine, it’s cross-cupped wine anyway.

Down below, the two little ones are also sucking on their candy, eating away all satisfied. A bunch of people mutter that they’d been running around since dawn with the wedding convoy, snatching the bride, blocking the groom—maybe they didn’t literally skip breakfast, but it’s almost the same. They’ve been starving so long their chests are stuck to their backs. Yet these two big jerks are up there eating so sweetly! And their two sons are eating super happily too. Everyone else can’t see, can’t touch, definitely can’t eat, and their stomachs are all growling "gurgle gurgle."

They finally wait until the two of them finish eating and put down their chopsticks. Now, the whole crowd of guests breathes a sigh of relief—surely it’s time to eat now, right?

Who knew that the Emcee (matchmaker) at the side would hand Yu Zexiao a hairpin—so he can help her "fix her cloud-like hair by the window, stick the golden flower by the mirror," symbolizing growing old together in harmony.

This time, everyone in the hall is about to lose their minds!

The first to stand up is Ling Yichuan. It’s not even that he’s starving; it’s just that watching the two of them slowly and ceremoniously eat in front of everyone, then just as slowly do her hair and makeup in front of everyone—damn it, does he think they’re here to watch Peking Opera?

Next to him, Leng Yunting and Leng Yunlin can’t take it anymore either: "You two, can you move it a little faster!"

Yu Zexiao shoots them a sidelong glance. He doesn’t say anything, but everyone gets the meaning in his eyes: be elegant, be elegant. Why are you all so jittery? What do you think you look like?

The group of people below almost pass out from rage; they all want to flip the tables and leave! The two on stage are still taking their sweet time, stroke by stroke doing her hair, drawing her brows, pinning on the phoenix hairpin—the time drifts by slowly, like they’re all sitting in a black-awning boat just rocking along.

When the dressing is finally done, everyone lets out a breath. That’s it, right? Of course not—there’s still one more segment: the bride and groom exchange tokens of love!

Everyone watching this is speechless by now, and on top of that, they don’t even have the strength to complain—starvation has drained them.

When at last the entire ceremony is over and the dishes finally come out, even the most reserved guests have had their appetites whipped into a frenzy by all that slow-motion torture! Almost every dish that’s brought to the tables is instantly snatched clean, and nobody even remembers they’re supposed to force the groom to drink until he’s drunk...

But just wait until later tonight in the bridal chamber; you’ll see if they "have fun" with him then! Everyone’s holding back a bellyful of anger, just waiting for night to fall!
