Court Marriage 宫嫁(攻嫁) [ BL ]

Chapter 5: Qiao Yingze

Translated by: LishaChan

Most of the people welcoming the bride buzzed and caused a loud commotion all over the city. Although the palanquin chairman who received red envelopes lifted the palanquin very steadily, it still frequently shook, causing Gong Zhuoliang to subconsciously doze off from time to time. He had to keep holding his crown, and try to stay awake so he could focus his mind and think some ways on how he would deal with tonight's event.

As the sound of the firecrackers crackled, finally, the palanquin reached its destination and was now being carefully placed on the ground. Gong Zhuoliang hurriedly made the red veil fall in front of his face and properly sat down. After a while, the palanquin door was suddenly pushed open which suddenly caused a roar of laughter outside, then the people outside were heard gently explaining something to a man named Qiao Yingxuan, saying it was inappropriate to kick open the door like that and so on and so on. Then another voice was heard, coming from a man, clear and bright with a hint of embarrassment, who in return told the people outside to keep quiet so as not to scare the bride.

Gong Zhuoliang's sight was completely covered with the red veil so he could only imagine and guess the spectacle of the cheerful festivity outside the palanquin, but then it suddenly caused his mood to become a little complex.

He suddenly thought that when everybody found out that the so-called 'daughter-in-law' who's sitting within the big red palanquin and the one who will be coming through their threshold was actually a man, he couldn't help worrying just how they would vent their anger later on......

Suddenly feeling his sleeves being pulled, when Gong Zhuoliang lowered his eyes and looked from under the veil, he saw a tender hand of a child grabbing his sleeves. He immediately knew that it was Ruo Lan right after hearing her say: 'Young Lady, please come out of the palanquin'

Gong Zhuoliang let his sleeves be pulled out three times before finally deciding to step out of the palanquin door together with her.

As soon as Gong Zhuoliang stepped out of the palanquin, he was supported by the Chaperone and was told to walk over the fire brazier and jump over the horse saddle, [1] before he finally stood on the red carpet. And then he saw the back of a figure clad in red, squatting in front of him, while the Chaperon started chanting beside him, and then the other placed Gong Zhuoliang's hand on the red figure's shoulder

Gong Zhuoliang subconsciously laid down on Qiao Yingxuan's back, and then he saw from under his red veil that the other was also wearing a wedding dress, only, he was not holding a red ribbon. Gong Zhuoliang was suddenly a little curious about the appearance of the younger Qiao. He had already automatically regarded this pair of brothers as the male version of the Qiao sisters.[2]

Unfortunately, under the cover of his red veil, he could only see the other's shoulders. At this time, Qiao Yingxuan raised and stood up with Gong Zhuoliang on his back who subconsciously wrapped his arms around the other's neck, causing a chuckle from the other party.

"Don't be afraid, my big brother is a good person. He will certainly not wrong you in the future, so I hope you will treat him better as well."

Considering Gong Zhuoliang's actions as shyness, as Qiao Yingxuan carried the kid's body which was too thin for him, he whispered those words in a way that only the two of them could hear using a kind and gentle tone.

"Mn......"

Qiao Yingxuan's kind attitude suddenly made Gong Zhuoliang feel a little guilty for no apparent reason, that's why he could only reply in a vague manner without uttering any word. The other party utterly welcomed him to enter their family, but it's impossible for him to expect something good from the Qiao Family.
