Hand in hand, wrist into the curtain, blowing the lamp with a shy smile.
This sentence is nothing, just to describe the couple holding hands and entering a festive bridal chamber. They are both shy. Ancient people were not as open as modern people. Generally speaking, it is natural that the two newcomers have never met, and they are shy. "Blowing the lamp" is a simple and shy logical way to write.
Lily pricks peach blossoms and dares not frown loudly.
Very clear! In ancient times, brides usually had red hijab, with "Jin Baihe" as the pole to pick the hijab and "Peach Blossom Core" as the hijab. The groom lifted the veil with a pole, and the two looked at each other, both shy and excited. There are more silent complaints than vocal complaints!
