Zuan slapped his forehead, realizing that he had been so focused on solving the "Art of Myriad Transformations" problem that he had almost forgotten about this.

"Has Linglong already gone?"

Zhang Zitong was already used to this way of addressing him: "Her Majesty was worried that you would miss it while in seclusion, so she went there on your behalf first, so as not to make the Chu family lose face in the capital."

“She’s very thoughtful,” Zu’an smiled. “Let’s go to the Chu family!”

Chu Yan is still suffering under the Bridge of Helplessness because of him, how can he let her family be looked down upon in the capital?

"Yes!" Zhang Zitong's expression brightened. Although it was good to stay by the master's side, it was still quite boring in the palace, especially since the master hadn't come out these past few days.

Soon the group left the palace and headed straight for the Chu family.

As a duke, the Chu family also has a corresponding ducal mansion in the capital.

However, their main base is usually in Mingyue City, and there are hardly any people living in their residences in the capital.

You Zhao mostly lives at the Qin family home, and Qin Wanru hasn't been back to her parents' home for a long time, so these days she and Huan Zhao have been staying at the Qin family home, making it more lively on weekdays.

But now that the wedding is to be held, it's naturally impossible to continue holding it at the Qin family home.

Zu An originally planned to travel light and go directly to the Chu family, but Zhang Zitong persuaded him that his current status and position were special and that his every word and action would be interpreted in various ways.

If he is too casual, people will think that he doesn't value the Chu family that much.

Zu'an thought it made sense, so he let her carry the regalia of a regent and proceed in a grand procession toward the Chu family.

On the way, Zu'an sighed with emotion, thinking that he was much more carefree when he was a free spirit. He was glad that he hadn't become emperor, otherwise it would have been even more troublesome.

"The Regent has arrived!"

When he arrived at the Chu family home, the Chu family members had already been informed and came out to greet him.

The Empress Dowager, the Empress, and other court officials also followed.

In fact, it was not in accordance with etiquette for the Empress Dowager and Empress to come out to greet him, but no one present felt there was anything wrong with it.

Upon seeing the leader of the Chu family, who was broad-shouldered and extremely handsome, Zu An hurriedly got off the carriage and went over to help him up, saying, "Uncle, please get up quickly."

The visitor was none other than Mingyue Gong Chu Zhongtian. Given Zu An's special status and the previous divorce from the Chu family, it was not appropriate to address him as father-in-law.

When he first transmigrated, he was in a difficult situation, and Chu Zhongtian treated him quite well at the time.

"Thank you, Regent!" Chu Zhongtian looked at the heroic young man before him, and was also filled with emotion. Back then, he was a down-on-his-luck boy in Mingyue City. Who could have imagined that he would grow to this level?

Speaking of which, no one's judgment can compare to that girl Chu Yan. Back then, she defied all opposition and chose Zu An. Everyone thought she was crazy, and even I didn't quite understand. Now I realize how wrong everyone was back then.

"When did Uncle arrive in the capital?" Zu An asked curiously.

"I arrived a couple of days ago. It's Youzhao's wedding, how could I, as her father, not come?" Chu Zhongtian's face was full of joyful smiles.

In fact, he had long wanted to go to the capital to visit his daughter and various relatives and friends, but unfortunately, his relationship with the emperor and the Qi Prince's faction had become somewhat tense. He was worried that if he left his fiefdom and went to the capital, he would never be able to return.

However, now that King Qi and Zhao Hao have died one after another, and Zu An is in charge of the court, he naturally has no worries.

In addition to You Zhao's marriage, he set off for the capital several months ago.

However, halfway there, he learned of the coup in the capital. He hesitated for a moment, worried about the safety of his wife and daughter, but still continued on his way.

Fortunately, everything has now been quelled by Zaun.

"Brother-in-law!" At this moment, Chu Youzhao and Chu Huanzhao also greeted Zu An.

Zu An rubbed Chu Huanzhao's head, then his gaze quickly shifted to Chu Youzhao.

It must be said that Chu Youzhao, disguised as a man, is indeed a top-tier handsome man, and now, dressed in wedding attire, he is even more handsome.

"You Zhao looks so beautiful today!"

"Thank you, brother-in-law."

Chu Huanzhao pouted slightly, but considering that today was Chu Youzhao's big day, she decided not to argue with her.

Hmph, I'm such a thoughtful older sister.

After greeting the Chu family, Zu An entered the Chu residence with Bi Linglong, Liu Ning, and Yun Yuqing.

"Are you alright?" Bi Linglong asked with some concern. It was understandable that she was worried, as the other party had suddenly gone into seclusion for several days.

"It's nothing, just a small problem, it's been resolved." Zu'an smiled and chatted with her for a few more minutes.

He then asked Liu Ning, "How is the Empress Dowager's injury?"

"The recovery is a bit slow. When will the Regent help me heal my injuries?" Liu Ning said with a half-smile.

Zu An felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He hadn't expected her to be so bold as to say this in front of so many people. He could only go along with her and say, "Let's do it another day. It's not convenient today."

"I'll remember that." Liu Ning's eyes crinkled with laughter.

Many ministers nearby watched in amazement and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Despite being called the Empress Dowager, she still looked so young and beautiful, especially with that captivating charm that was something that young girls could hardly match.

Many people were immediately struck by memories; back then, the Empress Dowager was the dream of a generation of men.

Bi Linglong and Yun Yuqing exchanged a glance. Although their conversation seemed normal on the surface, they both felt that something was off.

Next came the wedding ceremony, and everyone from the Chu family, the Qin family, and the Murong family was overjoyed.

After all, the Regent, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress personally came to offer their congratulations, an honor that was simply unparalleled. The envious and jealous looks from other families in the capital spoke volumes.

When it came time to welcome the bride, she came in from outside. Because she was covered with a red veil, no one else could see Murong Qinghe's face.
