At one o'clock in the morning, the entire capital was deserted, and every household in the long streets and alleys came out in full force.
Today is the wedding day of Princess Showa and General Huo. From the imperial city to the alleys, there is a strong festive atmosphere.
The palace was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns inside and outside, the palace was majestic, and red carpets were laid under the nine-story halls. The sound of joy pierced through the gold and split the stone.
There were huge crowds of people on both sides of Chang'an Avenue, with people bringing their elderly and children, vying to see this world-renowned wedding.
The court musicians played the wedding music, and the sounds of music and drums echoed between the tall buildings and red pavilions. The ten miles of red makeup and splendid splendor made the entire capital look like it was bathed in morning glow.
The auspicious time is approaching, and the grand wedding procession slowly sets off.
