With the arranged marriage completed, those who had been concerned about the marriages of the individuals finally felt a great weight lifted from their hearts.
Their child is finally about to find their own happiness.
The Emperor was unaware that Consort Yu had figured things out on her own. When he heard what Consort Yu had told him later, the Emperor was utterly astonished.
...
Happy times always pass quickly, and soon it was Qing'er's wedding day.
Xinrong's entry into the palace did not change anything; on the contrary, she became as tired as the others. After all, with the marriage of a princess and a noblewoman, everyone in the palace was busy.
Even the Empress Dowager was full of energy and actively participated in the arrangements.
Moreover, Consort Yu had come to her senses and did not propose to marry Xinrong. Everything was peaceful and calm, and things were truly back on track.
The night before the wedding.
"Qing'er, why aren't you asleep yet?"
After Shen Nian woke up from a nap, she found that Qing'er was still awake. She opened her eyes slightly, put her hands tightly on Qing'er's waist, and asked groggily that Qing'er was not fully awake yet.
During this period, she was running between the Prince Rui's residence, the Cining Palace, Ertai's residence, and the Princess's residence.
Because Qing'er and her brother's marriage was not something to be taken lightly, she spent her days at the Prince Rui's residence helping to oversee and arrange everything, determined to give Qing'er the best. She even dragged Cailian and Ertai along to do the hard work.
In addition, Ertai also had to help her plan their new home, to see what kind of decoration she wanted. Ertai had done a great job, which perfectly suited her taste. He called her over so that she could think about what she felt was missing, what else she wanted, so that he could have someone add to it in time.
The only saving grace was that the mansion the Emperor bestowed upon Ertai was right next to her princess residence; otherwise, she would have been exhausted. That's right, the Emperor had also bestowed upon her a princess residence, which he had prepared for her since she was a child.
She and Ertai could choose where to stay.
The four of them lived next to each other. Ertai's residence was next to her princess residence, next to the princess residence was the Prince Rui's residence, and next to the Prince Rui's residence was the Prince Yu's residence.
The Prince Yu's Mansion and the Prince Rui's Mansion were next to each other when their father was alive. Her princess mansion was prepared for her at birth and was located next to the Prince Rui's Mansion. Only Ertai's mansion was built next to them.
The Emperor discovered that Ertai and his wife had fallen in love during his inspection tour. He immediately sent a message to the Empress Dowager, and the two discussed it. Since they were going to renovate the Prince Rui's Mansion, they decided to build another house on the side and give it to Ertai to elevate his status.
After successfully elevating Ertai's status, the emperor promptly bestowed the mansion upon him. Only then did everyone realize that the mansion was originally intended for Ertai.
...
She had to go back to Cining Palace that night to keep the Empress Dowager and Qing'er and Xinrong company.
She also had to learn the wedding etiquette. She had been spoiled and pampered by everyone since she was a child, and no one had to worry about anything. This period of time had really exhausted her.
A wedding is not something she can do as she pleases; it only happens once in a lifetime. Chen Nian obediently followed the nanny to learn the rules for a long time, which made Ertai feel extremely sorry for her.
Despite repeated attempts to dissuade him from indulging in his thoughts, Ertai felt both distressed and helpless, and could only let him continue.
"Niannian, Qing'er, you're still awake?"
Xinrong, who was a light sleeper, woke up when she heard the sound and asked.
"Niannian, did Xinrong wake you up?"
Hearing the two girls' slightly confused voices, Qing'er asked softly.
"No, I went to bed too early and couldn't fall asleep."
