"The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the wedding day of my cousin, the Crown Prince."
Shen Tangning started preparing her wedding gift two months in advance. In her previous life, she was unable to witness her cousin's wedding, so this was a way of making up for that regret.
The Crown Prince's wedding is no small matter; it is a day of universal celebration and will surely be quite lively.
Xue Qing sighed, "After waiting for so long, His Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Gu have finally tied the knot."
Shen Tangning came to the window and looked at the upturned eaves, her eyes flashing with a half-bright, half-dim light: "Xueqing, take my token and go to the palace."

On Zhuque Street, amidst the deafening sounds of gongs and drums, the wedding procession arrived in a grand procession. The people on both sides of the street eagerly awaited the arrival, their faces beaming with joy.
"Look! His Highness the Crown Prince has come to fetch the bride!"
Flower girls scattered lucky money, which caused a frenzy among the crowd, filling the streets and alleys with laughter and joy.
On a tall, fine horse, a young man dressed in a red robe accentuated his tall and slender figure, his handsome and refined features, and a gentle smile always playing on his lips.
"Have the people in charge of the inspections been arranged by the Prefect of the Capital?"
Yan Huai tilted his head slightly and asked in a low voice.
The attendant stepped forward and respectfully replied, "Your Highness, rest assured, we have already given the order."
On His Highness's joyous occasion, nothing can go wrong.
Yan Huai nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings with a faint look: "Be more careful."
In the crowded throng, a man pulled down the brim of his hat, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
My dear brother, on your joyous wedding day, I wonder if you are satisfied with this gift I am giving you?

"Is Sister Gu very nervous right now?"
Shen Tangning's mischievous gaze made the seated bride blush. Gu Qingxu looked at herself in the mirror, pursed her red lips, and stammered, "There is some."
Wen Yao smiled and leaned closer, saying, "What 'Sister Gu'? You should call me Crown Princess now!"
Gu Qingxu's cheeks flushed, and she picked up her fan to gently pat her face, her tone tinged with reproach: "Oh, you, you always know how to tease me!"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became relaxed.
Gu Qingxu felt a little uneasy, so she looked for help in the only experienced person in the room:
"Ningning, were you nervous when you got married?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized it was inappropriate and bit her lip.
Ningning's wedding was probably not a pleasant event for her.
Shen Tangning's face remained completely calm. She squinted her eyes as if deep in thought, and replied with a smile, "Nervous? Perhaps a little."
She married Chi Yan with a do-or-die determination, and naturally she wondered whether he was worthy of her trust. However, at that time, hatred took precedence in her heart, and her anxiety was nothing.
Later, when Chi Yan lifted the veil, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground, looking completely dazed. Shen Tangning's nervousness vanished.
The two listened with great interest, and Wen Yao covered her mouth, unable to contain her laughter: "Was Young Master Chi really so frightened that he tripped and fell? Well, anyone would be surprised if their sister-in-law turned into their wife!"
Gu Qingxu smiled and said, "How could it be fear? Couldn't it be being amazed by Ningning's beauty?"
Shen Tangning smiled but remained silent.
With this interruption, Gu Qingxu was less nervous. Calculating the time, Madam Quanfu came in to comb her hair and prepare her face.
Shen Tangning and Wen Yao stepped aside, their eyes filled with relief and blessings.
Wen Yao whispered, "The bride is so beautiful."
