Some flower girls follow behind the bride, holding up her skirt.

Today is Aunt Jiu's big day, so they naturally can't steal her thunder; they should follow behind her.

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Yun Shaoyuan and Yun Shaomu gave each other a high five with smiles.

...

At the Bu residence, Bu Yaolian sat in front of her dressing table, applying makeup.

Today she wore a bright red dress and a crown inlaid with pearls and jade, dressed as if she were about to get married.

"Miss, the Kang family's daughter-in-law has returned," the maid whispered in Bu Yaolian's ear.

"Let her in."

Bu Yaolian placed the wooden comb on the table, stood up, and walked towards the door.

"Miss, Miss, the matter has been taken care of!"

Kang's daughter-in-law ran happily to the door of Bu Yaolian's boudoir.

Bu Yaolian looked at the woman in coarse clothes with disgust, covered her nose with a handkerchief, and said, "She smells of alcohol, it's awful."

"Uh, yes, the wine cart we just pushed..."

"Miss, the Prince of Jibei's wedding dress is dirty, it's been stained with wine."

He had just appeared at the Jibei Prince's Mansion pushing a cart of wine when he bumped into Jin Jinzhi's wife, Kang. Seeing that Bu Yaolian disliked him, he hurriedly took a few steps back.

"Hmph, well done. Since the wedding dress is already dirty, the prince will definitely go to the weaving workshop in the west of the city to change his clothes."

[In this way, as long as the prince isn't by that vile woman's side, I'll have a chance to take advantage.]

Ever since learning the date of Yun Duoduo's wedding, Bu Yaolian has been planning all of this. She couldn't bear to watch Yun Duoduo marry into the Jibei Prince's Mansion so smoothly and successfully.

She became Kim Jin-ji's principal wife.

"Alright, now that things are settled, we don't need you here anymore!"

Bu Yaolian gave a signal, and the maid behind her tossed a bag of silver to the Kang family's wife. The Kang family's wife happily accepted the bag, weighed it in her hand, thanked her, and left satisfied.

After the Kang family's daughter-in-law left, Bu Yaolian returned to the house, took out a bottle of medicine from the cabinet, and walked towards the gate of the mansion with a fierce aura.

"Let's go to the Prince of Jibei's Mansion!"

"Miss, Miss is under house arrest, you can't go out!"

Upon hearing this, the maid panicked, her knees buckled, and she knelt on the ground, grabbing at Bu Yaolian's hem.

"Hmph, get out of my way!"

"What do you mean by confinement? The prince is about to marry someone else, am I supposed to just sit here and wait to die?!"

"Now that Father has been dismissed from his post, what is there to be afraid of?!"

Besides, once that vile woman is dead, His Majesty might not have the time to punish me.

"At that time, given my relationship with the Prince, and with this beautiful wedding attire, he might just marry me!"

"If you're timid and afraid of trouble, you don't need to come along. I'll go by myself!"

Bu Yaolian kicked aside the maid blocking her way and left the Bu residence through the back door.

...

The wedding procession marched grandly toward the Prince of Jibei's mansion, attracting many ordinary people to stop and watch along the way.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

Sitting inside the carriage, Yun Duoduo felt it sway and then stop. She lifted the curtain and asked, "Ah Xiang, what's wrong?"

"Princess, a group of people has blocked the wedding procession."

Ah Xiang, who was walking alongside the sedan chair outside, leaned closer and whispered, "The leader is a burly man wielding a large knife."

"ah?"

A burly man? Is he here to kidnap the bride?

Yun Duoduo was a little confused.

Isn't this a scene from a storybook?

The leader was a large, stout man who carried a broadsword. He had fair skin, thick eyebrows, and large, round eyes that looked like two perfectly round beads. Although he didn't look fierce, he exuded an aura that was not to be trifled with.

"Who goes there? This is the Ninth Princess's wedding sedan chair!"

Ah Xiang's voice was a little dry, but it carried a hint of anger and fierceness.

Ah Xiang and Dong Shuang stood in front, blocking the bridal sedan chair. Although Qiu Ju was young, she showed no fear at all. The other palace maids, on the other hand, were so frightened that they trembled and hid behind the sedan chair.

The Tiger Guards and attendants who came out of the palace lined up in a very imposing manner, blocking the way in front of the bridal sedan chair.

"Who goes there! How dare you stop the Ninth Princess's wedding sedan chair in the street?!"

The leading Tiger Guard shouted and drew his sword from his waist.

Yun Duoduo lifted the curtain and looked outside. She didn't recognize the person riding the horse.

"Giddy up!" came the rapid sound of hooves.

When Cao Canjun arrived later and saw the two groups facing off, he hurriedly shouted, "It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

"Hong Qiu'er, what kind of work are you doing?!"

Cao Canjun dismounted and knelt before Yun Duoduo's bridal sedan chair: "Princess, I, Cao, the commander of the Fire Army, Hong Qiu'er, have come with the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army to welcome the Princess!"

So they came to welcome the princess, why do they look so fierce!

Ah Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. Couldn't they have sent someone with an auspicious and cheerful appearance to fetch the bride?!

Yun Duoduo only understood what was going on when she saw that it was Military Advisor Cao.

It turned out that the man with the fierce look who brought his soldiers was Hong Qiu'er, the commander of the Fire Army.

【Hong Qiu'er…】

The name suits his appearance quite well.

Today, Military Advisor Cao is dressed in full armor, riding a horse with a large red flower hanging on the bridle, followed by some foot soldiers.

The soldiers, holding long spears with red tassels, seemed quite fitting for the occasion today.

He grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

"Welcome, Princess! Welcome, Queen!"

Cao Canjun roared in his deep voice.

The prince said that welcoming the princess should be a grand affair, so he went to Hong Qiu'er for help.

[Of all the soldiers in the camp, Hong Qiu'er is the most relaxed right now. Today is a wedding banquet, and the Prince of Jibei's mansion is hosting a grand feast, so the Fire Army doesn't need to prepare any food.]

"Welcome, Princess! Welcome, Queen!"

As soon as Military Advisor Cao finished speaking, the soldiers shouted in unison.

Startled, Yun Duoduo quickly lowered the curtain. Her body trembled, and she nearly lost her balance, almost losing her phoenix crown. Luckily, she was inside the sedan chair, so no one saw her fall.

That's really impressive...

"Welcome, Your Highness!"

Cao Canjun waved his hand, and the wedding procession continued forward.

"Today is the wedding day of His Highness the Prince of Jibei. His Highness has specially ordered me, Old Cao, to come and thank all the elders and folks who have come to send off the bride and offer their blessings. Reward him!"

As he spoke, Military Advisor Cao instructed the soldiers to distribute the reward money.

"well!"

The people who had been watching the spectacle from both sides of the official road were overjoyed to receive copper coins and silver coins.

"Today, a banquet has been set up two miles east of the Prince of Jibei's residence. Everyone is welcome to attend!"

On Chang'an Avenue, the people made way for the wedding procession with its drums and gongs, receiving tips and saying nice things as they went, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.

"Oh, thank you, Ninth Princess! Thank you, Prince Jibei!"

May the Ninth Princess and the Prince of Jibei enjoy a long and happy marriage!

At this time, news of Yunbei's general amnesty spread, and the crowd began to discuss it animatedly.
