The next morning, the palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. Everywhere you looked, there was laughter and joy, and the palace servants seemed busier than ever.
As soon as Su Yu opened his eyes, he was immediately aroused by the laughter outside the door. So he quickly changed his clothes, tidied himself up, and rushed out the door to find out what was going on.
He walked down the long steps outside the palace and stopped a short distance away to see the palace maids and eunuchs cleaning the pavilion. He quickly ran over and asked one of the maids, "Excuse me, why is the palace so lively today? Can you tell me what's going on?"
The palace maid didn't hesitate at all. She bowed and answered him directly, "Young Master Su, you may not know this, but several months ago, the Empress Dowager arranged a marriage for Princess Xiyue. Now that our princess has returned, the wedding must be held as scheduled."
"A wedding? With whom?" Su Yu murmured to herself, slowly walking out of sight.
Later, as he walked and thought, he suddenly remembered that Leng Yuexi had said before coming to Ziyan Kingdom that the reason she chose to leave the palace was entirely to escape this unpleasant marriage.
But now, Leng Yuexi only had to come back because of him and Yu Qianqian. Today, she was arranged by her family to have such an unsatisfactory marriage, which would probably ruin her life's happiness. If that were really the case, how could he live with himself?
He thought of some extremely sensitive issues, and his mind went blank. Instead of returning to the side hall or visiting Yu Qianqian, he went directly to Xiyue Palace and found Leng Yuexi.
Seeing Su Yu gradually enter from afar, Leng Yuexi was somewhat surprised. She immediately greeted him with a smile, settled him in her boudoir, and then instructed the maids to make tea and serve him water.
After serving him for a while, Leng Yuexi gestured for everyone else to leave, leaving only the two of them sitting face to face at a table.
Today, Leng Yuexi wore a gorgeous light purple gown. The exquisite crape myrtle flowers on the finest shimmering brocade were clearly defined and extremely beautiful. Her dark hair was tied up in a dazzling gold hairpin. At this moment, she was undoubtedly a celestial beauty. Her pretty face was radiant, and her figure was curvaceous and graceful.
"Young Master Su, did you sleep well in the side hall last night?" Leng Yuexi smiled and gently flicked her sleeve, raising a cup of hot tea to Su Yu with both hands, her soft and gentle tone as tender as water.
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Su Yu took the tea from Leng Yuexi's hand, put it aside, and then asked her without hesitation, "I heard you're getting married soon, is it to the King of the Southern Kingdom?"
As Leng Yuexi heard this, she slowly lowered her head and sighed softly, her heart heavy with unspoken thoughts: "It's my parents' decision and the matchmaker's word. Right now, I have no choice but to nod in agreement."
Feeling guilty upon hearing this, Su Yu stood up and sighed softly along with Leng Yuexi, “I’m sorry, this whole thing started because of me, but now I’m at my wit’s end. However, if Your Highness ever needs my help, I will go through fire and water for you, even at the cost of my life.”
