After the open and secret struggles in the harem, Yixiu took the initiative to come to the study to find Yinzhen.

"Hey, the queen is here." Seeing Yixiu coming over, Su Peisheng hurriedly came over with a big smile on his face: "The emperor was just talking about it, saying that the queen hasn't come for a long time and he wants to go see her in the evening. Don't these two masters think of the same thing?"

It is not known whether Su Peisheng's words are true or not, but he just wants to hear something that is pleasing to the ear.

But today, Yixiu really had something to discuss with Yinzhen.

Honghui and Nian Shilan are now quite old, and their marriage was decided a few years ago.

Now that the talent show is over, Yixiu is thinking about letting the couple get married as soon as possible, which can be considered a good thing for both parties.

By the next day, the news of Honghui and Nian Shilan's marriage had spread throughout the capital.

It was Honghui who came personally to deliver the news from the Nian Mansion, and naturally he did not forget to bring some good things for Nian Shilan.

The two of them stayed together for a long time. Honghui had breakfast, lunch and dinner here. Finally, under Nian Gengyao's urging gaze, he got up and said goodbye.

As soon as Honghui left, Songzhi walked up to Nian Shilan and whispered, "I heard from the Ministry of Internal Affairs that all the dresses for the young lady have been prepared. It seems that Brother Honghui has made all the preparations." After that, she bowed with a smile on her face and said, "Congratulations, young lady."

Nian Shilan blushed and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense." The wind in the courtyard blew up the hem of her skirt and fluttered like a butterfly. She twisted her fingers around her skirt and stood for a long while before whispering, "Should I go to greet the Queen for the last time?"

Song Zhi said softly, "Since the general has not given any instructions, you don't have to go for the time being. Everyone in the capital knows how much respect the young lady has shown the empress over the years." After thinking for a moment, she said, "Now that the wedding date is approaching and the selection has just been completed in the palace, there are many people and eyes. The general's intention is that we don't have to go for the time being. He will bring good things for the young lady."

Nian Shilan said "yeah", but she was very satisfied with Honghui's thoughtfulness. She stretched in the yard and said in a relaxed tone: "It's windy. Let's go in."

In the following days, although Honghui could not come directly to her house, he would send letters from time to time to chat with Nian Shilan, or send her some tea and fruit or discuss poetry, but he never mentioned the matter of getting married. Nian Shilan just pretended not to know and chatted with him about what book she had read, what new things she had eaten outside the palace, and what music she had listened to.

In short, although the two of them did not meet, the content of their correspondence was more detailed and vivid than usual. It even included information such as how many mouthfuls of porridge and cups of tea they had drunk recently, and whether the tea was hot or not. Songzhi was amazed as she watched from the side.

When I woke up that morning, I smelled a rich floral scent, as if it was the scent of the crabapple blossoming outside the hall. However, how could the scent come in through the heavy curtains and the newly blossomed flowers? It was probably an illusion, just the smell of burning incense. When I got up and sat in front of the mirror to wash, Nian Shilan casually asked Songzhi, "Have the chrysanthemums in front of the hall blossomed?"

Songzhi smiled and said, "My lady is really good at predicting things. She knew the chrysanthemums had bloomed before she even left the room. I also saw it when I woke up early in the morning."

I turned around and asked curiously, "Is that really the case? I was just asking casually. If it really opens, I have to appreciate it."

After washing and changing clothes, I went out and saw that the chrysanthemums had indeed bloomed. The numerous newly opened flowers were like small suns, but the sun was golden, slightly transparent, and bright. At that moment, I suddenly felt a little happy like a foreshadowing, and smiled: "It's worth it that I have been burning the candles every day, and finally the flowers have bloomed."

At dusk, I was sitting idly by the window. In the twilight, the fragrance of the newly blossoming crabapple tree outside the window was intoxicating.

An eunuch came in with hurried but steady steps, and his voice was respectful but steady, announcing the decree: "The Emperor has decreed that all the formal clothes for Miss Nian's wedding and various rewards be granted."

As usual, Nian Shilan and Songzhi looked at each other and knew that they were finally going to enter the palace. The eunuch who delivered the edict politely said to Songzhi:

"Please hurry up and pack for my lady. The things I brought have already filled up the yard, but there are still many things that have not been unloaded in time. The entrance is almost blocked."

Songzhi responded in a series of responses. There were already smart servants outside, some taking the lead in moving things and some leading the way, but no one really let Songzhi do it herself.

-------------------

The palace was decorated with lanterns and colors, and there was a festive atmosphere. Today was the wedding day of the prince Honghui and the general Nian Gengyao's sister Nian Shilan.

Honghui was wearing a bright red wedding gown, his figure was as straight as a pine tree, his handsome face was full of joy and anticipation. He stood in front of the palace, looking into the distance from time to time, eagerly waiting for his bride to arrive.

At this time, Nian Shilan, surrounded by a group of palace maids, slowly came over. She wore a phoenix crown, a shawl, and delicate makeup, and was extremely beautiful. When her eyes met Honghui's, a happy smile appeared on her face.

Honghui walked up quickly, took Nian Shilan's hand, and said gently: "Shilan, you are so beautiful today."

Nian Shilan lowered her head slightly, her cheeks slightly red, and responded softly: "Your Highness, from today on, I will be your wife."

Honghui held her hand tightly and said solemnly: "Shilan, I will treat you well for the rest of my life and will never let you down."

The two walked hand in hand into the hall and held a grand wedding ceremony in the presence of everyone. After the ceremony, they returned to their bridal chamber.

In the bridal chamber, red candles flickered and the atmosphere was warm. Honghui gently lifted Nian Shilan's red veil and looked at her beautiful face, his heart full of love.

"Shilan, we are finally together." Honghui said with emotion.

Nian Shilan's eyes sparkled with tears as she said, "Your Highness, all these years of waiting are worth it."

Honghui held her in his arms and said softly, "From now on, we will never be separated again."

However, this grand wedding made many people more jealous of Yixiu, especially Tong Jia Wanqing. Just a while ago, she was still very proud of herself when she gave gifts to the new ladies in the palace.

However, when Nian Shilan entered the palace, Tong Jia Wanqing immediately felt that even though she was confident that the emperor would love her more and more in the future, Yixiu was already old.

But Yixiu has a solid foundation.

The foundation came from the fact that she had an adult prince and a daughter, while her child was still in her womb.

"My child, can you please come to this world soon and accompany your mother?"

She put her hand on her belly. Now that she was further along in the pregnancy, it was very obvious that she was pregnant. At this moment, all of Tong Jia Wanqing's hopes were almost all on this child.

What Huapin didn't notice was that Fangrong, who was standing at the door, looked at her meaningfully, then silently retreated.
