Because He Xue is about to get married, she doesn't need to see anyone except those she knows well.

He Xue's wedding dress was personally instructed by the Crown Prince to be sewn by the Imperial Household Department, so He Xue didn't need to do it herself and was happy to have some free time.

Tongjia began to take stock of the dowry that had been prepared for Hexue. She had collected quite a lot of dowry for Hexue, in addition to the dowry that the Tongjia clan had added to Hexue's dowry.

The eldest prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince all contributed to He Xue's dowry in the name of their elder brothers. The ninth prince was even more generous, sending several boxes of gold directly. The Empress Dowager also sent many fine things. With the addition of dowries from others, there were too many things to take!

Even Lady Tongjia was shocked to see so many things. She was worried about how to carry all of them into Yuqing Palace! It seemed that even after the wedding ceremony, these dowry items would still not have left the General's Mansion!

In the end, Lady Tongjia had no choice but to discuss it with the Imperial Noble Consort. They decided to send a portion of the dowry to Yuqing Palace, claiming it was part of He Xue's dowry.

Looking at the initial dowry, He Zhu guessed that He Xue must have a lot more dowry, so he immediately had people prepare many rooms to store He Xue's dowry!

During this period, the Crown Prince secretly went to the General's Mansion to see He Xue. Otherwise, he would have had to wait until the wedding to see He Xue again, and he did not want to suffer the pain of unrequited love.

He Xue was surprised by the Crown Prince's appearance. "Brother Crown Prince, what brings you here?"

"Come and see my little wife!" the prince said with a smile.

He Xue gave the Crown Prince a reproachful look.

"Is the wedding dress suitable?" the crown prince asked.

"It fits perfectly, thank you, Your Highness, I love it!" He Xue was very satisfied with the wedding dress. The Crown Prince had it made entirely according to her preferences.

"If you like it, then please wear it and let me see it, okay?" the prince asked.

"No, the Crown Prince will see it when we get married. If he sees it now, there won't be any surprises on the wedding day!"

"Alright, then we'll see on our wedding day!" the Crown Prince said affectionately. "Wait for me to come and marry you!"

“Okay!” He Xue readily agreed.

Two days before the wedding, Emperor Kangxi summoned the Crown Prince and handed him several books; the contents of those books were self-evident.

Emperor Kangxi originally intended to send two palace maids to the Crown Prince, but he was worried that things would get complicated if the Crown Prince fainted, so he had to personally instruct the Crown Prince, which was still very awkward.

As the date of He Xue's wedding drew closer, Su Hetai's expression grew increasingly grim, and people in the manor avoided appearing in front of him whenever possible.

The day of the Crown Prince's wedding to He Xue finally arrived. The Crown Prince's marriage caused a sensation throughout the capital, and the event was a great spectacle.

He Xue felt that it was still dark when Xia Bing and Qing Dai woke her up to wash and dress.

The room was surrounded by people who showered He Xue with compliments. He Xue's ears turned red from listening, because she felt unworthy of their praise.

Tongjia invited the Ten-Complete Old Man to do Hexue's makeup and comb her hair.

He Xue sat in front of the dressing mirror and saw Tong Jia Shi, who had been by her side the whole time, and her eyes reddened. "Mother!"

Tongjia wiped away her tears, "Hexue, remember never to wrong yourself. Your father and mother will take care of everything!"

No matter what happens, don't let yourself be unhappy, okay?

Your mother raised you, and she doesn't want you to suffer in silence! In your mother's heart, nothing is more important than you!

"I understand, Mother! You and Father, please take care of yourselves too!" He Xue replied.
