"Send them to the bridal chamber!"
After the gifts were delivered, the matchmaker spoke again.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanchu picked up Su Ruojin and carried her towards the inner courtyard.
"Hey~" The matchmaker was about to call out to Xiao Yanchu and tell him that this was against the rules, but she held back in time.
Never mind, when has the Regent ever followed the rules today?
Xiao Yanchu carried Su Ruojin all the way to the new room and gently placed her on the bed as if she were a precious treasure.
"Go and get some food."
The matchmaker, waiting in the bridal chamber, looked somewhat troubled. "Your Highness, this is not in accordance with the rules..."
"My word is law, so hurry up and go!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The matchmaker hurriedly brought over some snacks.
"Ah Jin, you haven't eaten anything since you came out this morning. Eat something to fill your stomach first."
Su Ruojin blinked and nodded.
She wouldn't tell Xiao Yanchu at this time that she knew the wedding ceremony was long, so she had secretly hidden food and brought it to the bridal sedan chair. She would eat whenever she was hungry, and she couldn't let herself suffer.
However, she enjoyed Xiao Yanchu's concern.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's time to drink the wedding wine."
The matchmaker took out a gourd, gently cut it in half, and connected the two halves with a red thread.
The matchmaker poured wine into gourds and gave one to Xiao Yanchu and one to Su Ruojin. The newlyweds drank the wine together, symbolizing that they would share joys and sorrows and become one.
After finishing the auspicious wine, Xiao Yanchu reached out and tucked a stray hair behind Su Ruojin's ear, whispering in her ear, "Wait for me!"
The word "Wait for me" accompanied by a gentle warmth wafted into Su Ruojin's ears, mixed with Xiao Yanchu's unique cool fragrance, instantly turning Su Ruojin's ears bright red.
After Xiao Yanchu went out to entertain the guests, Su Ruojin glanced at Yanluo beside her. Yanluo nodded and left when no one was looking.
Su Ruojin had already seen Yao Lan bring Aya over during the wedding ceremony, so there was no need for further trouble.
Yanluo arrived at a secluded courtyard, brought out Dapu, and led him behind the rockery. "Wait here. You only have half an incense stick's time. Remember that."
Dap nodded. "Okay, thank you, Sister Yanluo."
Then Yanluo called over a maid and whispered a few words in her ear.
The maid nodded, picked up her teacup, and walked towards Yaolan.
As the maid walked up to Aya, she swayed, knocked over her teacup, and spilled tea all over Aya.
The little maidservant hurriedly kowtowed and begged for forgiveness. When Steward Zhang saw this, he quickly came over and apologized on behalf of the little maidservant.
The Empress Dowager had already returned to the palace, while Xiao Chenyi remained behind.
Yao Lan should have returned to the palace with the Empress Dowager, but she didn't want to go back. She acted coquettishly, so Xiao Chenyi kept her there.
When Yao Lan saw that Aya's dress had been wet by a maid in the palace, she didn't pay much attention. After all, there were many people in the palace today, and it wasn't unforgivable for a maid to make a small mistake.
Not wanting to leave a bad impression on Xiao Yanchu, she waved her hand and said, "Go and change quickly."
The maidservant, relieved, led Aya away.
Aya followed the maid further and further astray, gradually sensing something was amiss. She stopped, looking wary, and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
Just then, Yanluo came up to them and whispered, "If you want to see Dapu, come with me!"
After saying that, Yanluo didn't waste any more words and turned to lead the way.
Upon hearing "Dap," Aya's initially wary expression turned somewhat terrified.
How did Yanluo know about Dapu?
Since it concerned her younger brother, Aya didn't dare to be careless. After thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and followed Yanluo.
Upon arriving at the artificial hill, Dapu saw Aya first, rushed out, and hugged her, saying, "Sister."
