Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios

Suddenly, he heard Gu Yunrong’s confident voice. “I’ve always been very lucky.”

Yes, Rong’er’s fortune is indeed very good.

The current situation might be the same…

It’s the heavens that gave Rong’er a chance to be with me for the rest of our lives!

Chu You closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes, which were as deep as the sea, were filled with determination.

He enunciated his decision clearly. “Let the people from the Ceremonial Director in.”

As he spoke, his eyes gradually burned like fire.

“Yes, Your Highness.” The official hurriedly accepted the order and left.

The eunuch at the side looked at Chu You hesitantly. In the end, he didn’t ask him if he still wanted to prepare a horse.

Looking at the official’s back as he left, Chu You comforted himself in his heart. His brother had always prided himself on being a benevolent king. He was overcautious and always wanted to please her. He guessed that he wouldn’t dare treat his mother badly.

There was no hurry to enter the palace. He had to settle his marriage with Rong’er first. There was still time.

“Rustle…”

A breeze blew in, and a gust of wind with the fragrance of spring flowers floated in from outside the hall. Chu You looked up at the door and felt that everything suddenly became clear.

After a while, the president of the Wang family brought the eunuchs sent by the Ceremonial Director and a few eunuchs to the main hall.

In just a short time, they had decided to go to the Dingyuan Marquis Household in three days.

The people quickly bade farewell. The entire Kang Wang’s Mansion became busy and happy. There were only three days left until the small wedding ceremony. Everyone in the mansion wished they could grow three heads and six arms.

The busiest person was the official from Kang Wang’s Mansion. On Chu You’s orders, he personally went to the Dingyuan Marquis House to deliver a message. When he returned from the Marquis Mansion, he reported energetically,

“Your Highness, the Ceremonial Directors paid a visit to the Marquis Mansion before me and even brought the crown and gown of the Princess Consort.”

“The Marquis asked me to pass a message to Your Highness. On the 22nd of the first lunar month, he is waiting for His Highness’s arrival in the Marquis Mansion.”

The Ceremony Directorate was quite thorough, so Chu You couldn’t say anything wrong.

After another day, the Ceremony Directorate came again and sent a list of small gifts for Chu You to take a look. This list was arranged according to the Prince of the Second Rank’s schedule, so Chu You couldn’t find any fault with it.

On the morning of the 22nd day of the first lunar month, under the accompaniment of the Ceremony Directorate, Kang Wang officially made a small appointment with the Dingyuan Marquis Household. He played along the way and carried a total of 12 small gifts to the Marquis Mansion.

It had been many years since the royal family held a joyous occasion. Such a festive scene attracted the attention of many commoners on the road. It was extremely lively. On that day, this joyous occasion spread throughout the capital.

After successfully settling the matter, Chu You wanted to enter the palace the next day to see Empress Dowager Yuan and tell her this good news. However, before he could leave, someone came from the Ceremony Directorate again. He said that the Imperial Astronomer had already calculated the auspicious day to welcome the bride.

The Imperial Astronomer had given them two auspicious days. The first auspicious day was in a month. If they missed the 23rd of February, the next auspicious day would be half a year later.

Chu You’s heart was burning. He immediately chose the wedding date and hurriedly instructed everyone in the manor to prepare for the wedding.

On this day, Chu You didn’t enter the palace in the end. He comforted himself again, knowing that the Emperor would definitely not dare neglect his mother.

Everything would be fine after Rong’er passed the door. Rong’er was so understanding. With him around, people’s hearts would grow after a long time. His mother would definitely like Rong’er.

No matter what, when she was pregnant with their child for a while, her mother’s dissatisfaction would dissipate for the sake of the child.

After the people from the Ceremony Directorate left the mansion, they went to the Dingyuan Marquis Household to spread the good news. This good news made the people in the Marquis Mansion feel refreshed.

Madam Gu, who had been ill for more than 20 days, recovered without medicine. She was glowing and was even ordered to tip the manor for two months.

There was laughter in the Benevolent Harmony Hall.

“My Rong’er is indeed blessed!” Madam Gu, who was sitting on the bed, said with joy. She turned to Madam Wang and instructed, “Xinwen, prepare Rong’er’s dowry well.”

“There’s still a month. Time is a little tight, but we can’t treat Sister Rong badly. Show me the dowry list later.”

Madam Wang, who was at the bottom, nodded dryly.

Madam Wang was already impatient. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand absent-mindedly and thought to herself, “This dowry list was all written by Great Madam herself. I’ve already seen it a few times. What’s there to see?”

Madam Gu gently held Gu Yunrong’s hand and patted it. She smiled lovingly.

Gu Yunrong’s marriage could be said to be full of twists and turns.

Yesterday, when Kang Wang and the Ceremony Directorate came over to make a small appointment, Madam Gu was still a little nervous, afraid that something would happen to this joyous occasion again. However, this time, the gift went quite smoothly. Today, the wedding date was successfully set.

Her Rong’er was about to become Princess Consort Kang Wang!

“Rong’er, your coming-of-age ceremony has to be held at the King’s Mansion.” Madam Gu sighed with a smile. She looked both happy and a little emotional. “I wanted to personally host your coming-of-age ceremony.”

lean finally marry him! Gu Yunrong’s cherry lips curled up slightly, and her eyes were filled with light. She was like a blooming hibiscus, bright and moving.

She leaned affectionately on Madam Gu’s shoulder, her tone filled with attachment. “I can’t bear to part with Grandma…”

“Grandma knows that you’re filial.” Madam Gu raised her hand and caressed Gu Yunrong’s face affectionately.

At the side, Granny Li added, “Madam, this is a joyous occasion. In the future, the Empress Dowager will personally insert an adulthood for the Third Lady. That’s a blessing that ordinary people can’t have. Others will definitely envy our Third Lady.”

These few words touched Madam Gu’s heart. Madam Gu couldn’t stop smiling.

In the east room, the atmosphere was joyous. The grandfather, grandson, and daughter were chatting and laughing.

The Wang family at the side was incompatible with this lively scene.

Other than responding to her, she didn’t say anything else. She only held the teacup and drank it silently. The smile behind the teacup was a little stiff.

If someone didn’t know better, they would probably think that her family wasn’t holding a wedding, but a funeral..
