Looking at Su Miao in the mirror, the matchmaker couldn't help but laugh, "Master really loves his daughter! From her wedding dress to her hairpins and jewelry, he personally oversaw the preparation of almost everything, and it took a lot of effort."

Tao'er: "That's right! Last night, I learned from Guying that the wedding dress you are wearing was designed by the eldest young master himself. It took the embroiderers of Wanzhou four months to work day and night to make it!"

And this headdress, its design is full of symbolic meaning; the young master hopes that he and the young lady will be together forever!

The embroidery skills of the women from Wanzhou have always been renowned. The fact that they were able to create such a wedding dress is enough to show Shen Changji's feelings for Su Miao.

As Su Miao listened to these words, she looked at herself in the full-length mirror and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

She naturally knew how good Chen Changji had been to her.

Shen Yueyin knew that today was a joyous day, so she rushed over to see Su Miao early in the morning.

As soon as she entered, she saw the maids who were helping Su Miao with her makeup, all of them with happy expressions.

Most importantly, they all had a lot of reward money in their hands.

Shen Yueyin couldn't help but tease, "Oh my, who looks so beautiful today?"

As she spoke, a smile played on her lips as she walked over to Su Miao and gently placed her hand on her shoulder.

"So, it's my sister-in-law!"

That one word, "sister-in-law," made Su Miao blush instantly.

"You! You're a grown man, why are you still teasing me!"

Shen Yueyin: "I'm telling the truth! My brother is really lucky to have such a beautiful sister-in-law."

Before Su Miao's identity was revealed, Shen Yueyin felt that Shen Changji was trying to climb the social ladder by marrying Su Miao.

But in everyone's eyes, Su Miaogao was in a state of deep silence.

After all, Su Miao was just a minor county princess, but Shen Changji's status was extraordinary.

Now that Su Miao's identity has been revealed, people naturally no longer talk about whether she's "too good for him" or not.

But in Shen Yueyin's eyes, her brother was always the one who was lucky to marry such a wonderful woman.

After all, only Su Miao could tame Shen Changji's temperament!

Shen Yueyin reached out and took the hairpin handed to her by the matchmaker, and gently pinned it on Su Miao.

"In my heart, I've already considered you my sister-in-law. Now it's all perfect, since you've really become my sister-in-law! From now on, we'll be a real family."

Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, memories of the past flashed through Su Miao's mind once again, and her eyes involuntarily reddened slightly.

"Oh dear! Today is a joyous occasion, we can't be crying!"

Shen Yueyin quickly placed her hand under Su Miao's eyes and tried to tell some jokes to cheer her up.

The matchmaker chimed in, "That's right! The bride should look beautiful; the master will surely like her when she enters the bridal chamber!"

Just then, a loud gong and drum sound came from outside the door, mixed with the sound of firecrackers.

The matchmaker exclaimed with delight, "Quickly put the veil on! The groom's party is coming!"

Shen Yueyin took the veil from the side and personally covered Su Miao with it.

Because she was pregnant, it was Tao'er and the matchmaker who helped Su Miao walk out.

Outside the mansion, the crowd of onlookers had already blocked the road, and the procession of red processions stretched for dozens of miles, with carriages lined up from one end of the street to the other, creating a magnificent and spectacular scene.

Even the trees along the road leading to the Duke's mansion were adorned with countless red ribbons, and the surging crowds all craned their necks to look out, creating an atmosphere of great joy.

Shen Changji, dressed in a red wedding robe, rode a black horse. His eyebrows and eyes were long and clear, and as the light and shadow shifted, his eyes also became gentle.

He gestured to Fang Xing, who immediately took out the prepared copper coins and wedding ceremonies and scattered them outside.

The crowd cheered loudly, creating a lively scene.

When Su Miao came out, Shen Changji dismounted without hesitation.

As the bridal sedan chair landed, the sound of firecrackers outside the door grew even louder.

The matchmaker was somewhat surprised to see Shen Changji walk in.

"Master..."

As Su Miao heard his footsteps approaching, her heart raced even faster.

He walked up to her and placed his hand in front of her.

Su Miao looked at the slender hand under the veil, her heart trembled, and she leaned forward without hesitation.

The matchmaker instantly understood that the Duke wanted to personally escort the bride.

As soon as Su Miao placed her hand on him, Shen Changji swept her up in his arms and strode toward the flower bridge, each step steady and deliberate.

This action drew even louder cheers from the surrounding crowd.

Looking at the person in his arms, Shen Changji couldn't help but lean closer to her ear, "Nervous?"

Su Miao nodded without hesitation.

The smile on his lips deepened after a long silence.

He escorted her to the flower bridge before mounting his horse.

As soon as the suona horn sounded, the procession made its way to the Duke's mansion, scattering flower petals everywhere it passed, filling the air with a charming fragrance.

The Duke's mansion was packed with guests, filled with joyous cheers; it had been a long time since the place had been this lively.

Because it was a grand and solemn wedding, many prominent figures in the court came to offer their congratulations, and even the Empress Dowager bestowed gifts upon them.

The elaborate wedding procession, the eight-person sedan chair, and the traditional rites and gifts were all present and carried out without exception.

When the bridal sedan chair landed again, Shen Changji once again led Su Miao out.

Amidst the joyful sounds of firecrackers and drums, he led her step by step into the Duke's mansion.

He had large, silent hands, calloused from years of wielding weapons.

Normally, when she holds his hand, it is dry and warm, but now, because she is nervous, it is covered with a thin layer of sweat.

But Chen Changji still held her hand very tightly.

The two stepped over the brazier together, while the matchmaker offered blessings.

After the fire pit, it's time to worship heaven and earth.

I bow to Heaven and Earth! Heaven is my witness, and Earth is my swearing-in-waiting!

"Second bow to the parents! Husband and wife in harmony, trusted confidants!"

"May the couple bow to each other, grow old together, and have all their wishes fulfilled!"

"The ceremony is complete! Proceed to the bridal chamber!"

Shen Changji squeezed her hand, somewhat reluctant to hand her over to the matchmaker.

The matchmaker and Tao'er, one on each side, helped Su Miao back to the bridal chamber.

Just as Su Miao entered the room and sat down, Shen Changji followed her in.

"I've gone out to entertain the guests. I've prepared some food for you, so don't feel too uncomfortable."

After giving his instructions, he turned and left.

Su Miao wasn't hungry, but she still ate a couple of bites when Tao'er brought the food over.

"Miss, shall we lift your veil to let you get some fresh air?"

"No...no need!"

The wedding banquet was grand today, and many people came, so it didn't gradually disperse until almost nightfall.

At first, Su Miao's heart gradually calmed down, and she was not as nervous as before.

She tensed up again when Shen Changji pushed open the door.

Shen Changji drank quite a bit of wine today, but not to the point of being drunk.

He looked at the bright candlelight in the room, and his heart suddenly started racing.

This is their wedding night.

Shen Changji walked in slowly and saw Su Miao sitting upright in the middle of the bed, covered with a red veil. He couldn't help but smile.

He took the jade ruyi from the table and gently lifted her veil.

As the veil fell to the ground, Su Miao slightly raised her eyes to look at the long silence before her.
