Chapter 220 : The Overwhelming Pressure
In the Heavenly Empire, it was customary for a newlywed couple to go back and pay respect to the bride’s family three days after the wedding.
Early morning on the third day, Xie Jianyu and Zhang Fengxi took a cloud carriage and left for Golden Dragon Palace.
In the Golden Dragon Palace, the Heavenly Emperor and the Empress were already waiting for them in the audience hall.
Xie Jianyu and Zhang Fengxi fell on their knees in front of their elders and spoke their greetings with cupped hands.
"Son greets Father and Mother*."
"Zhang Fengxi greets His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor and Her Majesty the Heavenly Empress."
The Heavenly Emperor smiled at his youngest son and his new husband.
"Stand up, no need to be so formal. This is not a court hearing but a family gathering."
"Many thanks, Father."
Head Eunuch Wang stepped closer to the couple with two tea cups on a tray. Beaming at them, he said, "Congratulations on the most auspicious wedding, Crown Prince and Prince Consort Zhang Fengxi."
Zhang Fengxi chuckled softly.
