However, this was also because Yu Jingchen wanted to give Nan Zhiyun a surprise. Although he did not tell Nan Zhiyun these things, he had already discussed them with the Empress Dowager and Nan Su.
"His Majesty said that the Empress is a daughter of the General's Mansion, and tomorrow she will be married off from the General's Mansion in a dignified and open manner. His Majesty will personally go to the General's Mansion to fetch the bride and formally marry Nan Zhiyun, the daughter of the Nan family, as his only Empress." Xinglai's words were essentially the exact quote.
Nan Zhiyun was somewhat shocked. She didn't know how she felt, but for Yu Jingchen, as the emperor of a country, to go to such lengths was truly remarkable. Just the fact that he personally went to marry her was astonishing enough, let alone the fact that he used the words "welcome" and "become wife" instead of the so-called investiture.
"Where is His Majesty? Will he be here soon?" Nan Zhiyun asked.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. His Majesty said that there is a custom among the people that the newlyweds cannot meet the day before the wedding. Therefore, he will not come to see Your Majesty in person today. However, His Majesty has already arranged everything. Your Majesty's wedding dress will be sent to the General's Mansion shortly. Not only the wedding dress, but also His Majesty's betrothal gifts will be sent. The Empress Dowager will also return to the General's Mansion to see Your Majesty off. In addition to the betrothal gifts, His Majesty has also prepared a dowry for Your Majesty, which is called 'additional dowry'."
"Because His Majesty wants Your Highness to know that His Majesty is not only Your Highness's husband's family, but also Your Highness's family. If Your Highness is ever unhappy with your husband in the future, then Your Highness can go back to Your Highness's family and complain to His Majesty. His Majesty will then deal with Your Highness's husband on Your Highness's behalf." When Xinglai said these words, his face was full of smiles. He really couldn't believe that His Majesty could say such a thing.
Upon hearing this, Nan Zhiyun's eyes stung slightly. She had never imagined that she would be in this situation, and she never dared to think of it, but now it was all happening right before her eyes.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty specifically instructed me to escort you back to your residence. What do you think?" Fortunately, he hadn't forgotten the important matter.
"I'll be right back." Nan Zhiyun hurriedly wiped away her tears; she couldn't cry.
"His Majesty also prepared a set of clothes for Your Highness from your youth. Why don't you change first, and then this servant will escort Miss Nan back to her residence?" Xinglai very tactfully changed the form of address, and the palace servants behind him presented the clothes they were carrying.
"Okay," Nan Zhiyun felt her heart was now full. Without delay, she went into the inner room, where Qianxia directed the people to bathe and change Nan Zhiyun's clothes.
An hour later, Nan Zhiyun had changed into her girlish attire. Her hair, which had been pulled back, was now loose, and she had changed her clothes. She wore a royal blue moon-flower dress, painted with blue gradient colors. The dress had ten panels, and each pleat at the waist was painted with a different color, lightly sketched, with extremely elegant colors. It moved in the wind like moonlight.
Nan Zhiyun is already quite young, and with this kind of attire, probably no one would recognize her as the former Consort Shu. She doesn't look like a girl from the Liaoge Pavilion at all.
Half an hour later, the carriage drove away from the palace gate. Yu Jingchen stood on the palace wall, watching the carriage go further and further away. A faint smile unconsciously appeared on his lips. Tomorrow, he would officially marry this girl.
He had wronged her too much in the past, but from now on, he would treat this little girl who loved him dearly with all her heart, never let her suffer again, and never let her be hurt again. Starting tomorrow, she would officially become his wife, the only person he would ever love in his life.
