Everyone in the palace spent another busy night, looking forward to the arrival of a new day.

At daybreak, a ray of morning light shone on the glazed tiles of the palace, giving the entire mansion a layer of gold.

Qinghe and Baili Ye got up early, had breakfast, dressed up carefully, and then came to the front hall.

"Xiao He, thank you for your hard work for the marriages of my soldiers and secret guards."

Qing He looked up, took out the predetermined list, and said to Baili Ye with a smile:

“Aye, this is a happy event. I am very happy to help them with it, and I also want to get everyone’s wedding done as soon as possible.

Look, this is the information about the girl that the soldiers and secret guards sent yesterday. I was just thinking about how to arrange a visit."

Baili Ye walked to the table, picked up a list and began to read it carefully.

"There are more than thirty of them. If you visit them one by one, it will be very tedious and exhausting.

How about this, I'll have someone deliver the invitations, and those families who are willing to get married can all come to the palace tomorrow to discuss the marriage.

Just like the investment promotion conference you mentioned, let’s have a marriage negotiation.”

"Is this okay? Wouldn't it be impolite?" Qinghe asked.

"You are pregnant now, nothing is more important than your physical comfort.

Besides, as the princess, you arranged their wedding, which is something they should be proud of, and everyone will understand you.

That’s settled.”

As he was speaking, Bai Er hurried in, bowed and said:

"My Lord, Princess, I have already followed your instructions and went to various shops to select the finest silks and jewels as gifts for your proposal.

In addition, we have also contacted the most famous matchmakers in the capital, and they are ready to be dispatched at any time."

Qinghe nodded with satisfaction:

"Bai Er, thank you for your hard work. This matter must be handled thoroughly and the girls must not be wronged."

Bai Er quickly responded: "Don't worry, Princess, I will do my best."

"Okay, after the marriage is settled, you can notify everyone to come to the side courtyard of the palace to get furniture and wedding supplies, and decorate the wedding room in advance."

"I would like to thank the princess and the prince for their grace on behalf of everyone else." Bai Er knelt down to express his gratitude.

"Okay, stop kneeling and get up."

"Yes."

Baili Ye looked at everything that was ready, turned to Qinghe and said:

"Xiao He, we have made such thorough preparations, this marriage will definitely go smoothly."

Qinghe chuckled and nodded, her eyes full of anticipation for what would happen next.

Early in the morning of the second day, the palace was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.

The parents of the girls from each family who received the invitation yesterday came to the palace early to discuss the marriage.

Led by the palace attendants, they sat down in the courtyard outside the front hall in an orderly manner.

Qinghe and Baili Ye sat in the main seats in the front hall, smiling and gesturing to everyone.

Baili Ye stood up, glanced at everyone present with a gentle gaze, clasped his hands together, and said solemnly:

“Everyone, I invited you all here today to help connect the officers and soldiers in the palace with the girls in your families.

Normally, one should visit every household to arrange the marriage.

But my princess is pregnant now, so this is really too tiring.

Here, on behalf of the princess, I would like to express my sincere apologies to everyone."

A middle-aged man in a gray robe stood up first and said with a bow:

"Your Majesty, you are too kind! Princess, you have done us a great favor by organizing such a happy event for us.

You two are both of noble status and you are so thoughtful. We are grateful to you so much that we have no complaints."

An old lady in a blue shirt also stood up and bowed slightly, saying:

"Yes, Your Majesty. The princess is pregnant with the young prince, and that is the treasure of the palace. We can all understand that."

Everyone nodded and said yes.

Qing He bowed slightly and said softly:

"Thank you for your understanding. The prince and I will never let you down.

Although we cannot visit everyone one by one, our palace will also seriously prepare for a perfect wedding."

At this time, a middle-aged woman in plain clothes hesitated for a moment, stood up and asked softly:

"My Lord, Princess, could you please tell us in detail about the betrothal gifts and wedding arrangements?"

Baili Ye responded with a smile:

“Madam, rest assured, as for the betrothal gifts, each soldier will receive 10,000 taels of silver, as well as top-quality silks, jewels, etc.

The entire set of furniture will be provided by the palace, and the wedding banquet will also be carefully prepared in the palace.

For soldiers who have no housing in the capital, I will allocate a three-story house to each soldier in the residential area to be built in the suburbs of the capital.

If you have any other requirements for the marriage, you can raise them. We will try our best to meet your requirements and make the wedding grand and let the girls marry the soldiers with dignity. "

Hearing this, everyone's faces showed satisfaction.

An old man stroked his beard and said with emotion:

"It is rare that the prince and princess are so thoughtful. It would be a blessing for my daughter to marry into the palace."

Qinghe smiled and said:

"Because we have so many couples getting married this time, the prince and I plan to hold a collective wedding in the palace. At that time, both parents can come to watch the ceremony and witness the happy moment of the newlyweds."

Afterwards, Qinghe explained how to organize a group wedding, and everyone agreed, expressing their approval and gratitude for the palace's arrangements.

Everyone also discussed the specific matters of engagement and wedding, and with everyone's joint efforts, a detailed and comprehensive marriage agreement was produced.

Finally, everything was discussed and it was almost noon.

Qing He and Bai Li Ye stood up, bowed to everyone and said:

“Thank you all for coming today. This marriage could not have been arranged so smoothly without your understanding and support.

Please move to the dining room, have lunch together, and try the dishes from our wedding."

Everyone stood up to return the greetings, their gratitude evident in words.

After having a sumptuous lunch at the palace, I was amazed by all the dishes and had no dissatisfaction at all.

After the guests left, although Qinghe looked tired, her eyes were full of smiles.

Baili Ye rubbed her shoulders gently with concern and said:

"Xiao He, thank you for your hard work today."

Qing He leaned on Baili Ye and said softly:

"It's not hard. Seeing them all have a happy ending makes me happy."

In the following days, the palace became even busier.

Under Bai Er's coordination, matchmakers brought generous gifts and traveled through the streets and alleys of the capital, visiting the homes of the girls to propose marriage.

Wherever they went, the matchmakers expressed the sincerity of the palace and praised the girls, which made the girls' homes full of laughter.

In the palace, Qinghe personally supervised the preparation of wedding supplies.

From the bright red wedding silk to the exquisite wedding candles, from the beautiful furniture to the sumptuous wedding banquet ingredients, she carefully checked them all.

As the wedding date approaches, the entire capital city is immersed in a festive atmosphere.

On the streets, people were talking about the grand wedding organized by the palace for the soldiers.

The soldiers and secret guards in the palace were even more delighted and looked forward to the arrival of that happy moment.

Finally, the auspicious day arrived as everyone was eagerly waiting.
