Outside the Regent's Palace.

The red silk fluttered.

In front of the gate, hundreds of riders lined up, wearing golden armor?

The sedan chair is ready and the fireworks are ready to be set off.

Luo Mian was wearing a dark red wedding gown with gold weaving, the corners of her robe fluttering in the wind.

With a golden crown tied high on his head and a precious pendant hanging from his waist, he sat on horseback, like a god walking out of a scroll, cold and noble, untainted by the dust.

But the strange thing is.

The people around Luo Mian were not Yunshui and Mushan who were always with him.

But he was wearing a plain grey brocade gown...

……

The drums are beating and the fireworks are ready to go.

Luo Mian pulled the reins and the black horse neighed.

The wedding procession sets off in a grand manner.

-

The alley in front of the Shen Mansion was already crowded with people.

From the streets to the end of the alleys, this time... it was filled with "gifts" sent by the people.

A carpenter with rough hands and feet was carrying a red lacquer cabinet that he had polished by himself, breathing heavily but smiling happily.

There was a weaving mother-in-law holding a big bag of newly woven handkerchiefs and hydrangeas, muttering to herself.

"Our Miss Shen will definitely be happy..."

There were also children jumping around holding a little lion made of syrup.

"This, this! So sweet! Miss Shen will definitely like it!"

...Even fruits and vegetables were piled up like small mountains, and someone even sent the sweetest big watermelon from home...

Even the old man selling oil grinned and said this.

"Such a good girl should have the best marriage in the world..."

The central hall of the Shen Mansion was decorated with lanterns and red silk.

Shen Runing had already put on her makeup and was wearing a bright red wedding gown with a phoenix pattern. She was sitting upright on a red satin chair, covered with a thin red veil.

Mother Shen sat beside her, holding her fingertips and refusing to let go.

He held it tightly, as if he wanted to pass on all his worries and reluctance in this life to her without leaving a trace.

"Mom used to always say she hoped you'd grow up quickly... but now that you've really grown up and are getting married... it all feels like it's happening too fast."

"You are my precious baby, born after ten months of pregnancy. From the moment you were born, I watched you grow up day by day, babbling, learning to walk, tying your hair into a bun, and wearing your wedding dress..."

Then he gently stroked Shen Runing's red veil.

"Mother can't bear to leave."

The corners of Shen Runing's lips moved, and after a while he called out softly.

"mother……"

Mother Shen continued to mutter to herself.

"Ning'er has been sensible since she was young."

"Mother...I just hope you will be safe and happy throughout your life."

Speaking of this, Shen's mother's eyes were already red.

"Now you want to get married and start a family...but my heart is..."

Before he could finish his words, he burst into tears.

Shen Runing raised her hand slightly and held Shen's mother's hand.

Through the red veil, she couldn't see her mother's face clearly, she could only hear her thin and rapid breathing, which was very similar to the time before their eternal farewell in her previous life...

"Mom, Ning'er will be happy."

"Ning'er is no longer the little girl who doesn't understand anything."

"Mother, don't be sad or worried..."

Mother Shen nodded with tears in her eyes, her voice choked with sobs: "Okay...Okay, Mom believes you."

Mr. Shen, who was standing by, also came forward and spoke in a deep voice.

"Ning'er, do you still remember this?"

Then he placed a small jade pendant in Shen Runing's hand.

"This is the jade pendant I gave you at your tenth birthday party."

"That day you accidentally dropped it and cried for a long time. Dad felt sorry for it, so he quickly took it to be repaired, thinking of giving you a surprise after it was repaired."

There was a pause.

"But when the jade pendant was repaired... you had already forgotten about it. A girl's mind always moves on quickly."

Shen Runing held the jade pendant in her hand, and seemed to recall the long-forgotten past, with a slight redness in her eyes.

Then Father Shen raised his hand and solemnly adjusted the hairpins on Shen Runing's phoenix crown...

"Ning'er, you will always be the treasure in your father's heart."

The corners of Shen Runing's lips trembled slightly, and his voice was as soft as a whisper.

"Father……"

This cry made Mr. Shen's eyes warm, and he quickly turned his head and wiped his eyes.

"Okay, okay, why are you crying? This is your big day."

……

The sun is shining brightly outside.

In front of the door, Shen Kuo and Shen Li were dressed neatly, standing on the steps on the left and right, with straight postures and solemn expressions.

Hmm... looks very serious.

They changed their usual bickering ways, and their eyes were red...

After walking a few steps outside, you will see several familiar figures waiting at the door.

"Are you here yet? Why aren't you here yet?!"

Liao Jinrou stood on tiptoe until her neck became sore.

Du Wenyun also stood with his hands on his hips, looking at it and muttering to himself.

"Oh my God, my cousin is getting married..."

"I... why am I so excited..."

Ji Yun and Helan Duoduo standing aside seemed more stable.

From spring to summer to autumn, the three of them were so busy that they almost ran all the way from Shen Runing's room to the door, and then jogged back from the door.

"Miss! The people have sent a lot of gifts to our Shen Mansion! Someone even brought a sack of red dates here!"

"Miss, Miss! The peaches that the old lady at the door gave me are so sweet. I took a bite. Would you like to have one to fill your stomach?"

"Miss! Just now, there was a young man of eight or nine years old at the door, shouting that he also wants to marry you! But his father kicked him twice, and now his face is covered with snot and tears, crying and shouting, 'I want to marry Miss Shen!'"

……

The area in front of the Shen Mansion was already as bustling as a temple fair, with more and more people gathering. Even the old man at the tea stall on the corner couldn't help but come over on crutches to join in the fun.

"I have to see how big this wedding reception is today!"

Some people even brought their own small stools to secure a good spot, where they could comment while munching on melon seeds.

"Look at this piece of red silk, it's so joyful! I've lived for sixty years, and this is the first time I've seen such a grand wedding!"

"What time is it? Why hasn't the Regent arrived yet?"

The children ran around with paper windmills, sugar figures and bamboo dragonflies, all with unconcealed joy on their faces.

"The bride is coming! The groom is coming!"

There were also many little girls running and scattering red beans on the ground.

"My mother said that scattering beans brings blessings. I want Miss Shen to enjoy happiness for the rest of her life!"

Lively, festive, and full of laughter...

At this moment, it is more like a celebration of a city.

In this clamor of public attention——

The sound of fireworks was deafening.
