After Han Zhongyu was led back to the Han residence by Lanting and the others, the guards at the gate of Yuquan Villa also ran in to deliver the news of Han Zhongyu's return to the inner courtyard.
Unfortunately, it was already late at night, and Xie Yushu was fast asleep. The maid on night duty glanced at her several times, remembering her instructions.
"Unless the sky falls or someone dies, you are absolutely not allowed to disturb her while she is sleeping."
I circled her door several times, but didn't dare to disturb her.
It wasn't until dawn, when Aunt Su got up, that the maid on night watch told her the news and asked her to make a decision.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Su thought it was a joyous occasion. The princess was getting on in years and should have gotten married long ago. Han Zhongyu had finally returned, so she immediately instructed the maid to wake Nanxing and have her find someone to calculate an auspicious time, and also to send the message to the Han residence.
He then knocked directly on Xie Yushu's door.
It was around 5 a.m., just as dawn was breaking, when Xie Yushu was sound asleep.
Although Aunt Su's first knock had already woken her up, she still struggled for a long time before finally getting out of bed and opening the door with sleepy eyes.
Before she could even ask, Aunt Su dragged her to the bathroom to wash up.
"Oh my! What a joy! My little aunt."
Our future son-in-law is back!
We arrived last night and saw you were sleeping soundly, so the maid didn't dare wake you. But that's good, you slept all night and are full of energy. Hurry up and get ready; Nanxing has already gone to check the auspicious time, so get ready to pick up the groom!
Xie Yushu was still somewhat dazed, but upon hearing that Han Zhongyu had returned, she immediately snapped back to reality.
"Emma, you're back?"
Hurry up and get everyone moving! Get all departments mobilized, lay out the red carpet, and set up bouquets, fireworks, and firecrackers!
Send someone to inform all departments of the yamen that today is the wedding day of the princess and Lord Han, and to invite them to the banquet at noon.
At Chenshi (7-9 AM), go to Tai'an Prefecture to cause trouble and post notices. Bring several baskets of wedding money and candy, set off a round of firecrackers in advance, and announce that today is the day of my wedding, and there will be a city-wide banquet where everyone can eat as much as they want!
Tell all the restaurants to prepare ingredients immediately; the entire banquet must be ready by noon.
Xie Yushu gave instructions while washing and dressing herself.
Aunt Su helped out while replying.
"Princess, rest assured, all the restaurants have been preparing for the past few days. We've been working back and forth with the Han family to prepare for the wedding. The people in the city and surrounding areas have been waiting to attend your wedding banquet. They'll all come as soon as we give them a heads-up!"
Our men are all ready and waiting for your order to come and pick them up!
Hearing this, Xie Yushu felt relieved and busied herself with getting ready.
The resort suddenly became lively.
After the initial excitement wore off, once Xie Yushu had finished her makeup and was dressed in her phoenix coronet and wedding gown, her heart started pounding. Oh dear, she was a little nervous!
"Aunt Su, give me a bowl of porridge to tide me over, I'm so hungry!"
Aunt Su shook her head as she listened.
"Oh no! Nanxing said the auspicious time is 9 AM, so it's not convenient to have some porridge. You can have a couple of pieces of pastry to tide you over."
Helpless, Xie Yushu could only swallow two mouthfuls of pastry and drink a sip of tea before Aunt Su snatched it away.
Xie Yushu had no choice but to accept her fate.
He silently repeated it several times in his mind.
"Stay calm, stay calm, stay calm. It's just getting married. We're not afraid of going to the battlefield, but we're afraid of getting married."
No one knows how quickly time passed, and before they knew it, the auspicious hour had arrived. Xie Yushu was directly asked to leave by Aunt Su.
Upon entering the courtyard, she was greeted by a festive sea of red; even the fish in the pond had been replaced with large red carp. Xie Yushu couldn't help but ask...
"This is too outrageous! Where did they throw Xiao Hei and Xiao Jin?"
Aunt Su said anxiously
"You still care about that? They're in the neighbor's yard. It's just that their color is off. Don't worry, we'll move them back later!"
Xie Yushu was convinced!
Upon arriving at the Central Court, Zhao Hu and Qingfeng each led a hundred men, all dressed in black tight-fitting outfits with red belts. They were imposing and majestic, each leading a chestnut horse with a large red flower around its neck and a string of red ribbons tied to its ears, creating a comical sight that was hard to describe!
In addition to these two teams, there are also Xie Tianqi, Liu Xiaodong, Nanxing, and Xie Yumin.
All four of them were younger than Xie Yushu and unmarried, serving as the perfect couple.
He was dressed in a red brocade robe.
The scale of the wedding procession was unprecedented and unique.
Xie Yushu and Han Zhongyu both prepared snow-white horses. The two horses were tied together with a large red ribbon, forming a huge red flower. Xie Yushu had heard Aunt Su mention it before, but she was still shocked when she saw it with her own eyes.
Well, what's considered vulgar can also be considered elegant.
When Xie Yushu arrived, everyone offered their congratulations.
"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master!"
Overwhelmed by the atmosphere, Xie Yushu's initial nervousness vanished. Looking at the impressive display, she mounted her horse and waved her hand with a flourish.
"Let's go! Follow me, this princess, to snatch them away!"
"Okay!"
"Oh! Off to pick up the bride!"
At Xie Yushu's command, Qingfeng Zhao Hu and his men mounted their horses and rode towards the Han residence, cheering all the way.
Firecrackers had been set up along the way, and many people were already waiting by the roadside to watch the excitement.
Although Xie Yushu and the others were riding horses, they were not running fast. The horses' hooves clattered along with a cheerful energy!
People on the roadside were all amazed when they saw Xie Yushu and her group.
"My God! Is that a princess? She's so beautiful!"
"Look, look! Why does the princess seem to be glowing to me!"
