When the Emperor's decree of marriage arrived at the Jiang Residence, the entire estate was instantly enveloped in an atmosphere of joy. Jiang Lian'er was in her room organizing scrolls when she heard the news. The scroll slipped from her hands as she stared wide-eyed, first showing disbelief, then a flush of red quickly crept up her cheeks, her eyes shimmering with tears of excitement and happiness.
Meanwhile, at the Pei Residence, Pei Yichen was busy handling official matters in his study when a servant hurried in to report, "Young Master, great news! The Emperor has granted you a marriage to Miss Jiang!" Pei Yichen sprang to his feet, knocking over ink and brushes without noticing. A smile involuntarily spread across his face, his eyes filled with joy and anticipation. "Finally, I have waited for this day for so long," he murmured to himself.
Jiang Lian'er understood that this decree was not only an acknowledgment of her feelings for Pei Yichen but also a reward from the Emperor for her earlier revelation of Father Jiang's crimes. She silently vowed to walk hand in hand with Pei Yichen for a lifetime, to protect this hard-won happiness, and to contribute her efforts to the court and the people.
In the days leading up to the wedding, Pei Yichen was busy and fulfilled. He personally visited the most famous fabric shop in the capital to carefully select materials for their wedding attire. His fingers gently brushed over exquisite silks as he focused intently, not overlooking any minor flaw. When discussing embroidery designs with the seamstress, he shared his thoughts: "Could we incorporate lotus elements into the patterns? Lian'er loves lotuses; I hope she will appear as pure and beautiful as one when she wears this attire." The seamstress nodded with a smile, touched by Pei Yichen's deep affection.
To finalize the banquet menu, Pei Yichen invited the most renowned chefs in the capital. He tasted dish after dish, considering both flavor and symbolism. "This 'Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Good Fortune' must be made with the freshest ingredients and carefully prepared to match this joyous occasion," he instructed the chefs, his tone reflecting the importance he placed on the wedding.
Jiang Lian'er was also busy; she personally participated in decorating their new home. Accompanied by her maids, she wandered through markets selecting her favorite flowers. Seeing pots of vibrant peonies and elegant orchids brought a smile to her face. "These flowers will surely add much joy to our new home," she said. Back at the residence, she directed her maids to adorn the room warmly and tastefully. Red drapes fluttered gently, colorful ribbons were tied into beautiful bows, and every corner of the room exuded a sweet atmosphere.
She also picked up needle and thread to embroider exquisite handkerchiefs and sachets. Her fingers danced between needle and thread, each stitch infused with her deep feelings for Pei Yichen. Thinking of his preferences and habits, she chose only the finest spices for the sachets, hoping he would carry them with him always.
Finally, the wedding day arrived. In the morning, sunlight streamed through clouds, soft and warm. Pei Yichen rose early; after washing up, he donned his meticulously prepared red wedding attire. Standing tall in his vibrant robe made him look even more handsome; adorned with a golden crown, he radiated an indescribable joy and anticipation. The bridal procession set off grandly, decorated with red lanterns hanging high as festive sounds of suona horns and drums filled the air.
At Jiang Residence, Jiang Lian'er was surrounded by maids who helped her dress up early on. The jewels on her phoenix crown sparkled brilliantly in the sunlight while intricate embroidery adorned her rosy cloak. Sitting gracefully in her chamber with an apple tightly held in her hands—its bright red hue mirroring her current emotions—her heart raced with both nervousness and excitement as thoughts of Pei Yichen filled her mind.
When Pei Yichen entered the room with steady steps and gently lifted her red veil, tears could no longer be contained in Jiang Lian'er’s eyes; they fell softly down her cheeks. She saw Pei Yichen’s affectionate gaze filled with love, indulgence, and promises as if they were alone in their own world.
Amidst everyone’s blessings, they held a grand and solemn wedding ceremony. During their vows, they bowed sincerely to express gratitude for heaven's witness and blessings; while serving tea to their elders, they respectfully offered cups of tea while receiving blessings and advice in return; once inside their bridal chamber, Pei Yichen gently held Jiang Lian'er’s hand and said softly: "Lian'er, from today onward we are husband and wife; I will spend my life protecting you." Jiang Lian'er nodded slightly, her eyes filled with happiness and reassurance.
At the wedding banquet, guests laughed and chatted merrily while raising their cups in celebration. Officials from court came forward to congratulate them enthusiastically; they praised Pei Yichen and Jiang Lian'er’s union while expressing great expectations for their future together. Surrounded by blessings from all sides, Pei Yichen and Jiang Lian'er began their blissful new life together—a story that would become a cherished tale throughout the capital for years to come.
