Time flies and it is the ninth day of September.

As the dawn broke, the sky turned a gentle pale white, and the imperial city was filled with joy and peace.

The Shen residence was filled with a festive atmosphere. Red silk was hung all over the courtyard, like flowing flames, making the entire residence look both heavy and warm.

The corridor is also hung with various lanterns and wedding characters. The flickering candlelight in the lanterns interweaves with the morning light to create a warm and peaceful light and shadow.

In the main hall, a huge mahogany wedding table was placed in the center, and on the table were various rare and precious tributes and wedding fruits.

The servants in the mansion were also busy in an orderly manner, and each of their faces was filled with happy smiles and sincere blessings.

But at this moment, there was a different scene in Shen Leyan's boudoir.

It should have been a happy day for her, but she couldn't smile at all. She felt very reluctant when she thought about leaving the home where she had lived for sixteen years and parting with her loving father and mother.

Shen Leyan sat in front of the bronze mirror, her eyes red and her handkerchief tightly clenched in her hand, allowing the nanny and maids to do her hair and makeup for her.

The maids and nurses whispered, "Today is the young lady's wedding day. It won't look good if her face is covered with tears."

"Miss, you look so beautiful today, you should be happy!"

"My lady is the most beautiful bride I have ever seen!"

"That's right! I wonder how happy Madam will be when she sees Miss like this."

At this time, Shen's mother, who was standing outside the door, looked up at the sky, swallowed the tears in her eyes, and sorted out her emotions.

He curled the corners of his lips and walked in.

"Hurry up and let mother see how beautiful our Yan'er is today!"

Mother Shen was amazed when she saw her precious daughter in front of her, although she had seen her trying on her wedding dress before.

But today, dressed in gorgeous attire and wearing a phoenix crown, she truly possesses the grace and nobility that a queen should have.

When Shen Leyan heard her mother's voice, she quickly stood up and threw herself into her mother's arms.

Her voice was choked with sobs: "Mother, Yan'er can't bear to leave you and father."

When Shen's mother heard this, her emotions, which had finally calmed down, became agitated.

Her eyes gradually turned red. She patted her back gently, holding back her tears and comforted her: "My dear daughter, today is your big day, you can't cry."

"If you cry like a kitten later, all the makeup I put on this morning will be wasted."

"Silly child, women always have to get married. Mother and father are happy for you to marry the one you love."

"Besides, it's not like you're getting married and you'll never see us again."

"Didn't the emperor promise to accompany Yan'er back to see us? If you miss me and daddy in the future, just come home and mother will make you something delicious."

"When mother is free, she will come to the palace to see you, don't worry!"

Shen Leyan raised her head and looked at her mother with tears in her eyes: "Mother, I understand, but I can't bear to let go."

Mother Shen took out a golden hairpin and gently inserted it into her bun. "This hairpin is mother's dowry. It has been accompanying mother for many years. I give it to you today. It will replace mother and always stay by our Yan'er's side."

Shen Leyan touched the hairpin on her head and nodded vigorously.

At this time, the joyful sounds coming from outside were getting closer. Shen's mother took her hand and said, "The time is coming. Don't miss the auspicious time."

After saying that, he covered her with a red veil, took her hand and slowly walked out of the room to the hall.

After Shen Leyan served tea to her father and mother, she formally said goodbye to them.

"My daughter bids farewell to father and mother. I hope father and mother take care of themselves!"

Father Shen immediately helped his precious daughter up, suppressed his reluctance, held her hand and warned her: "Yan'er, take good care of yourself in the palace. Daddy, mother and your brother will always be your strongest support."

Although Shen Leyan couldn't see her father and mother's faces clearly under the veil, she could imagine their reluctant expressions at the moment.

She is their most beloved daughter!

At this moment, she was choked with sobs and could not speak, so she could only nod in response.

"If you miss us, just come home..." Father Shen was afraid that if he continued, he would burst into tears.

Finally, he patted her shoulder and said, "Go ahead and be happy."

Shen Lebai, who was standing at the door, carefully carried Shen Leyan on his back and walked towards the sedan chair.

Although Shen Leyan's wedding dress was extremely heavy, Shen Lebai still carried it steadily on his back, as if it were a very precious treasure.

The closer he got to the gate, the heavier his steps became.

"If you are wronged in the palace in the future, you must come back and tell your brother."

Shen Lebai couldn't help but choked up as he spoke, "Come back if you're unhappy."

"This will always be your home..."

"Brother..." Shen Leyan lay on her brother's back and hugged his neck tightly.

"Okay, brother knows everything. Take care of yourself." Shen Lebai carefully helped her into the bridal sedan.

Today, the gate of the Shen Mansion was crowded with people who came to watch the fun. They all wanted to see this grand wedding with their own eyes.

Ten miles of red makeup and loud gongs and drums.

Father Shen watched his daughter's back from behind, and his heart was filled with emotion.

From the little pink ball just born, to following him, calling "Daddy" softly behind him.

It felt like only a short time had passed, but today he was suddenly going to get married.

If possible, he really wants to support his precious daughter like this for the rest of her life.

Now, marrying into the royal family with the most complicated rules, although you have the most noble status, you also have to bear more.

As parents, they hope that she can be carefree, safe and happy.

Mother Shen couldn't stop crying when Shen Leyan got into the bridal sedan.

Father Shen comforted his wife with red eyes. He and Shen Lebai would then rush to the palace gate to attend the ceremony of crowning the queen.

According to convention, the Queen's phoenix sedan chair would first parade around Zhaojing before heading towards the palace gate.

Emperor Yong'an arranged in advance a large number of the most elite imperial guards to patrol the streets to protect Shen Leyan's safety.

Even a large number of troops were stationed at the four city gates in the east, west, south and north to ensure the smooth progress of the queen's coronation ceremony.

At this time, outside the palace gate, Emperor Yong'an was wearing a bright red imperial wedding dress, a golden spider silk jade belt around his waist, a purple jade gold crown on his head, his slender body stood straight, and he led all the civil and military officials to wait here.

Originally, Emperor Yong'an only needed to sit in the Temple of Heaven in the palace and wait, and the officials from the Ministry of Rites would welcome the empress to the palace.

The emperor and empress worshipped the ancestors of heaven and earth together, and then accepted the worship of civil and military officials together.

But Emperor Yong'an could no longer wait. He urgently wanted to go and welcome Shen Leyan's phoenix chariot immediately.
