Yusui Chang'an

Prince Xiang's Mansion.

Facing the guests who came to his house to congratulate him, Prince Xiang hid his sadness and thanked them happily.

I used to worry that my daughter wouldn’t be able to get married, but when the day of her wedding really came, I felt that it came too early and was reluctant to let her go.

Seeing his old father avoiding people and wiping his tears twice, Chu Chengyi stepped forward:
"Be more careful. The eldest and second brothers just came back. They are not often in Kyoto. Many people don't recognize them. It's tiring for you to keep avoiding us."

King Xiang raised his foot to kick, but Chu Chengyi dodged and jumped away:

"Get lost, get lost, he doesn't recognize them, and neither do you? Why are you here to bother me instead of going to greet the guests?"

Chu Chengyi's sudden action caused several guests to turn their heads to look.

Chu Chengyi smiled and nodded to the visitor who saw him, and whispered:

"You are a prince after all, so be careful with your words. It sounds like a brothel madam urging her daughter to receive customers."

Prince Xiang, who was hiding behind a pillar, was so angry that his eyes widened. He jumped out and was about to beat his son, but was seen by a guest and greeted him. Prince Xiang suppressed his anger and greeted the guest with a smile.

Seeing that Prince Xiang was no longer angry or sad, Chu Chengyi slipped to the door as if he had accomplished his mission and went to greet the guests with his two brothers.

The three brothers look 50% alike, but the eldest brother is noble, the second brother is humble, and Chu Chengyi... is dissolute.

The eldest brother glanced at his father who was chatting and laughing with the guests:
"Cheng Yi still has a way to coax Dad."

Second brother: "Look at this kid's temper. He's probably not trying to coax me, but getting angry. I don't know which is more harmful to the body, anger or sadness."

While thanking the guests who came to congratulate him, the eldest brother took the time to reply:
"It's hard to compare. It's said that anger is harmful to the body. You and I are not in Kyoto all year round, and it has not been easy for my father these years."

Chu Chengyi: "I'm still here, why don't you avoid criticism?"

In the boudoir, it was still dark when Lord Yanling was called up. After washing and dressing up, she began to dress up.

The heavy wedding dress and headdress made her neck ache and she just wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but the polite mother kept staring at her and reminded her to sit up straight.

The tension and joy of marrying her lover, intertwined with the physical fatigue, made her feel both relieved from fatigue and relieved from tension.

Princess Xiang looked at her little daughter in her gorgeous attire, and while she was pleased that her child had grown up, her eyes could not help but tear up.

Lord Yanling originally complained that her mother had been too strict with her recently, but after seeing this, all her resentment disappeared, and she felt extremely reluctant. The mother and daughter looked at each other and both shed tears.

It took a long time for the Qin Princess and other female relatives to praise and comfort the mother and daughter before they stopped crying.

Feng Siyao, who was standing at the edge of the crowd, looked at the two of them with envy in her eyes.

Just as the makeup girl finished touching up the two people's faces, a servant came running in to report that the groom had arrived outside the gate and was being passed through the hands of the three young princes.

Princess Xiang looked at her daughter deeply and ordered someone to cover her head with a veil.

Chu Chengyi and the others caught Gu Yichen and made a fuss for a long time, and only let him in when it was almost time to go out. Princess Yanling, under the veil, listened to the noise coming from far away, and she couldn't help but clench her hands nervously, waiting quietly with her heart beating like thunder.

After bidding farewell to his parents and completing the necessary rituals, Chu Chengyi squatted down:

"Come up, Third Brother will take you out."

Princess Yanling could only see the tip of her toes. Although she couldn't see her brother's appearance, she felt a lump in her throat for some reason. She leaned over and climbed onto his strong back, hugging his shoulders tightly. (End of this chapter)
