Shen Yue didn't ask Ye Chen how he could tell that Cai Yanqing was someone who schemed against his friends. After all, getting to know more people with his friends wasn't a big deal.
Just seeing that her brother-in-law cared so much about her sister, Ye Chen took a step up in Shen Yue's heart.
Chen Yue smiled and returned to her yard. She decided not to be that annoying person anymore.
Ye Chen returned all the way to Qiuchen Courtyard. Before he even entered the house, he heard Lan Yu's voice, "Xiaoqiu, can I wear your Great Yin Kingdom's wedding dress?"
"Why is she here at this time? Isn't she usually in the medicine garden?" Ye Chen thought to himself and went into the house.
Chen Qiu was holding his chin and watching Lan Yu talking excitedly about something. He was about to fall asleep, but when he saw Ye Chen coming back, he suddenly became energetic.
She immediately stood up and walked to Ye Chen, "Husband, you are finally back."
Chen Qiu had been talking to Lan Yu all day, and Lan Yu kept talking during lunch.
Lan Yu also forced him to talk about the wedding customs of the Great Yin Kingdom over and over again. Chen Qiu could feel Lan Yu's happiness, and also felt that Xiao Hang really didn't know how lucky he was to meet such a good girl like Lan Yu who was devoted to him.
"Are you sleepy?" Ye Chen just saw Chen Qiu dozing there.
Chen Qiu shook his head, "I'm not sleepy, it's just..." Then he looked at Lan Yu, not knowing what to say.
Ye Chen just heard Lan Yu's words, "What wedding dress? Who wants to get married?"
Chen Qiu continued, "Today, Xiao Hang told Lan Yu that he wanted to marry her. Look, he's been excited all day."
"Oh? Has the date been set? What do you want us to do?" Ye Chen took Chen Qiu's hand and sat down.
Lan Yu moved to the side of Chen Qiu and said, "Let's do it according to the customs of your Great Yin Kingdom. I don't have any friends here, so I won't invite anyone. Let's have fun in your mansion. Everyone in the mansion will get a reward, and I'll pay for it." As he said this, he patted his chest.
Ye Chen nodded. "Wedding dresses here are a bit troublesome. Let the people from Jinyifang come tomorrow to choose styles for you two. They should already have the sizes. The people from Jinyifang should be able to make them if they rush."
Lan Yu clasped his fists and bowed, "Thank you, Duke!"
In the evening, they gathered in Rongwei Hall again. "Didn't you say you don't need to come? Your belly is big. What will happen if you go back home at night with someone accompanying you?" Madam Xiao took Chen Qiu's hand and said some scolding words with a smile.
Chen Qiu smiled and looked at Lan Yu and Xiao Hang. "I'm not here today for anything else. Xiao Hang is getting married to Lan Yu, so I came here to discuss the date and other matters with you and grandfather."
The old duke stroked his beard and said, "Hahaha, this Hang'er is finally not shy anymore?" Xiao Hang blushed when he saw it.
"However, the Yenan people require a priest to officiate their weddings, and I'm afraid we can't accommodate that here. Also, this involves the two countries..."
"Oh, old Duke, we will follow the customs of your Great Yin Kingdom here. When we return to Ye'nan, we will hold another one. It won't have any impact." Lan Yu hurriedly interrupted the old Duke.
The old Duke said with a smile, "Hang'er is a lucky man, but Hang'er, a real man has his ways and his ways. Since you have decided to be with the princess, you must take responsibility. You must not be as timid as before. You must be a genius for your wife and children. Don't learn from me!"
Xiao Hang lowered his head lower and lower, probably because he knew that he had indeed wronged Lan Yu before.
"The Spring Examination is coming soon. My suggestion is to hold the wedding after the Spring Examination. Firstly, there will be enough time to prepare wedding clothes, and secondly, the family won't be too busy. After all, it's a lifelong matter, so we need to prepare well."
"Qiu'er is right. It's better to prepare for the wedding properly." Ye Chen took over Chen Qiu's words.
"Who wants to get married?" Shen Yue came in and asked after hearing Ye Chen's words.
Then he bowed to the old Duke and Madam Xiao, "Old Duke, Old Madam"
"The young man from the Xiao family and Lan Yu suddenly said they wanted to get married today, and they are now planning to hold a wedding banquet." Madam Xiao raised her hand to signal Shen Yue to sit down while explaining to him.
"Oh? Congratulations, I didn't expect that I could have such a good thing. Brother Xiao is so lucky." Chen Yue bowed to Xiao Hang and congratulated him.
"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be favored by her so much." Xiao Hang looked at Lan Yu and replied to Chen Yue with a smile.
"Madam Sun, bring me my newly obtained almanac. Let me take a look and see which day is the closest auspicious day after the Spring Examination. Once the date is set, we can start preparing, especially the wedding dresses. We need to have enough time to make them." Madam Xiao instructed Madam Sun beside her.
"Yes, I'll get it right away." Nanny Sun responded and went into Madam Xiao's bedroom. After a while, she took out an almanac.
Lady Xiao took the almanac, wet her fingers on her lips, and began to check it.
"Oh, this is a good day. It's three days after the Spring Examination, which is a good time for marriage. The date is close and it's after the Spring Examination. It's still half a month away from today, so it's still in time for wedding clothes." Madam Xiao pointed to the date on the almanac, showed it to Chen Qiu, and then showed it to the old Duke.
"Princess Lan Yu, what do you think of this date? Will it violate the taboos of Ye Nan Kingdom? Although the wedding is held here, it is better to avoid the taboos of Ye Nan Kingdom." The old Duke took the almanac and handed it to Lan Yu.
Lan Yu looked at the date and said, "Yes, February is the month for welcoming the God of Spring. It's a good month and there are no taboos."
"What do you think?" Lan Yu pointed to Xiao Hang.
Xiao Hang nodded, "Okay, it's almost time and there's plenty of time to prepare, okay."
Finally, it was set on February 25th, which was exactly the third day after the Spring Examination.
The next day, everyone in Qiuchen Courtyard was in the yard, picking out fabrics and headwear for Lanyu. Xiaofu was jumping around. Mingyue's morning sickness had gotten much better. She only vomited once when she got up in the morning, but then she was fine for the whole day. She came over to join in the fun today.
They were talking back and forth, and just as the people from Jinyifang finished picking out the fabrics and left, the people from Cuiyu Pavilion came, asking for the jewelry that Lan Yu would use for her wedding.
Lan Yu said that all things should be in accordance with the customs of the Great Yin Kingdom.
In fact, Chen Qiu knew that Lan Yu did it for Xiao Hang.
In the Great Yin Kingdom, Xiao Hang was the groom, marrying Lan Yu. However, in Ye Nan, Xiao Hang was marrying into the family. According to Ye Nan's wedding customs, Xiao Hang and Lan Yu would not worship heaven and earth, but Xiao Hang would kowtow to Lan Yu. For Xiao Hang's dignity as a man, Lan Yu decided to hold a wedding in the Great Yin Kingdom first.
Lan Yu is the princess of Yenan, and her husband is the future regent of Yenan, so she can only marry into the family.
After returning to Ye Nan, they would definitely hold another ceremony. After all, the people of Ye Nan wanted to see their future king in person. This was unavoidable, so before that, Lan Yu wanted Xiao Hang to have no regrets.
