“Daughter respectfully follows father’s teachings!” Yao Mengxian felt somewhat sentimental upon hearing this. Once she gets married, returning to Duke Zhen’s Mansion will be returning to her maiden home.

The events in the dream did not transpire, and she is not the Yao Mengxian who had her life ruined in the dream; this is a different life.

After Mrs. Ke made a symbolic remark or two, Yao Mengxian and Gu Chengyu together kowtowed three times loudly, completing the ceremonial act.

The joyful music accompanied the procession to North City. Gu Chengyu rode a tall horse, wearing a red mandarin-collared festive robe, with a large red flower on his chest, marching proudly at the forefront.

“Quick, catch the wedding money! These are the wedding coins from the Prince’s marriage!” The nearby citizens noticed a basket of shiny new Copper Coins being carried in the marriage procession, realizing the coins were to be thrown, they cheered enthusiastically.

In fact, the two mansions were quite close. By the time the marriage procession arrived at the Prince Mansion, the last of the dowry from Duke Zhen’s Mansion had not yet come out.

“They’re here! They’re here!” Gu Wan said with a smile to Mrs. Lv.

Mrs. Lv and Mr. Gu were seated solemnly in the hall, and upon hearing Gu Wan declare that they’ve arrived, they couldn’t help but sit up even straighter.

An arrow hit the sedan door with a muffled sound, and Yao Mengxian felt the sedan jolt slightly. Suddenly, the sedan curtain was lifted, and she saw a hand as elegant as white jade reaching out before her.

“Miss Yao!”

With just a gentle whisper, Yao Mengxian did not hesitate to place her hand in that warm hand. Gu Chengyu applied a slight force to help her out, which was followed by a burst of coaxing laughter.

Gu Chengyu was quite nervous himself, though he was accustomed to hiding his emotions, he kept a gentle smile on his face.

After Gu Chengyu had helped Yao Mengxian out of the sedan, he let go of her hand, and the wedding maid immediately stepped up to assist. Yao Mengxian followed the wedding maid over the brazier and walked towards the main hall.

Mrs. Lv and Mr. Gu watched the couple, brows opening with smiles. Xiao Bao was already eighteen, and finally getting married today, resolving a concern for them.

“First bow to heaven and earth!”

“Second bow to parents!”

“Husband and wife bow to each other!”

Yao Mengxian wanted to support the heavy phoenix coronet on her head; the coronet was truly too heavy. During the mutual bow, had it not been for Gu Chengyu’s timely assistance, she almost stumbled forward.

“Enter the bridal chamber!”

With the ceremony complete, the atmosphere became lively, with everyone clamoring to cause a commotion in the bridal chamber that night.

Yao Mengxian was assisted by the wedding maid into the bridal room, and Gu Chengyu followed closely behind. There were still some rituals to perform after the bride entered the bridal chamber, but these would only begin after the guests had feasted.

The wedding maid helped the bride to sit on the new bed. “Princess Consort, please rest here for a moment. The Prince still has to go out to entertain the guests!”

The wedding maid noticed the groom had followed inside, and with a touch of ambiguity in her eyes, “The wedding veil cannot be lifted now, Prince, don’t be impatient!”

Gu Chengyu’s face instantly flushed red, becoming somewhat embarrassed.

Wintergreen cast a glance at the wedding maid, stepped forward, and gave a red envelope before the wedding maid backed out of the new room with a grin.

“If you feel exhausted, just rest against the bed for a while. Shortly, I’ll have Wintergreen bring you some food.” Gu Chengyu looked at the seemingly frozen bride before him, suddenly unsure of what to say, and only managed to muster a sentence of concern after a while.

“I understand, thank you for your concern, Prince! Please also take care of yourself and avoid drinking too much, excessive drinking is harmful.” After a while, a response came from under the wedding veil.

After finishing speaking, Yao Mengxian regained her composure, her cheeks burning red beneath the wedding veil.

Gu Chengyu didn’t give it much thought, uttered a simple acknowledgment, then hurriedly left the room.

As soon as he stepped out, he took a deep breath.

“Jinyu! What’s this? Are you impatient? Come, today we certainly won’t let you off!” Zhu Pang, upon seeing Gu Chengyu come out, lit up and immediately stepped forward with a wine cup, grabbing Gu Chengyu’s sleeve.

“Exactly! As the saying goes, there are four joys in life: receiving timely rain after a drought, meeting old friends in a foreign land, the bridal chamber night, and achieving a rank on the Golden List! You’ve already experienced the Golden List, and now this bridal chamber night is another joy. On this joyful day, Prince, you must grace us with drinking together!”

Today, guests gathered in abundance. Usually, everyone urged restraint due to Gu Chengyu’s authority, not daring to act frivolously. With Zhu Pang leading the way on this joyful occasion, as long as it wasn’t excessive, the Prince wouldn’t become angry.

Gu Chengyu immediately put on a smiling face, moving from table to table to propose toasts. After three rounds of drinks, even though Gu Chengyu had a good tolerance for alcohol, he was beginning to struggle.
