Legend of the Embroiderer

Preparations for the wedding banquet are in full swing in the palace, and the entire palace is immersed in busyness and joy.

Red silk flutters in the wind, colorful lanterns hang high, and the atmosphere is filled with joy and peace.

Su Mengyao and Crown Prince Li Zhao soon realized that the upcoming grand wedding banquet was not just a luxurious celebration, it must also strictly follow ancient and traditional customs.

These customs are tedious and complex, and each step carries the profound cultural connotations accumulated over a long history. For Su Mengyao, who had just entered the palace, this was undoubtedly an extremely arduous task.

She was standing quietly in front of the palace ceremonial officer, listening attentively to his detailed explanation of the wedding banquet process.

The solemn and loud voice of the ceremonial officer echoed in the empty hall, as if it had an irresistible majesty.

He methodically described the specific requirements of each step, whether it was the gorgeous phoenix crown and bridal bridal veil on the bride's head, or the solemn dragon robe and jade belt on the groom's body.

No matter how the grand wedding procession is arranged and marched, or how the solemn wedding ceremony is conducted, every detail is emphasized in great detail and no carelessness is allowed.

As the ceremonial officer's narration deepened, Su Mengyao's brows gradually furrowed. She couldn't help but whisper, "These customs are so complicated!"

Faced with the seemingly dazzling series of rules and regulations, she felt a little overwhelmed, but at the same time she was well aware of the heavy responsibility she shouldered and she must not be negligent in the slightest.

After all, this wedding banquet is not only about personal happiness, but also represents the dignity and glory of the royal family.

Li Zhao stood quietly beside her, keenly aware of the subtle uneasiness deep in her heart.

He gently stretched out his hand and held her slightly cold little hand carefully as if he was protecting a rare treasure, trying to pass on his inner warmth and strength to her.

"Don't be afraid, dear. This is just part of our long-standing culture. No matter what difficulties and challenges you face, I will always be with you. We will definitely overcome them together."

Li Zhao's voice is low and magnetic, containing immense determination and tenderness like a spring breeze.

These words seemed to have magical power, instantly dispelling the haze lingering in Su Mengyao's heart, and gradually calming her originally uneasy heart. At the same time, a warm current flowed through her heart, bringing endless comfort and peace of mind.

In order to deal with these traditional customs more easily, Su Mengyao decided to delve into the essence of the Tang Dynasty's wedding culture.

So she buried herself in the vast sea of ​​ancient books all day long, diligently flipping through the chapters that recorded ancient rituals and norms; when she encountered doubts, she humbly sought advice from the experienced and respected old maids in the palace.

She also took the initiative to personally participate in a series of small etiquette drills.

During this arduous yet fulfilling and interesting learning journey, Su Mengyao slowly uncovered the profound connotations and beautiful meanings hidden behind those seemingly complicated customs.

She also gradually realized how to cleverly find a perfect balance between the traditional culture that has been passed down for thousands of years and the ever-changing modern concepts.

Once, when Su Mengyao was concentrating on practicing a simulated wedding ceremony, the sharp-eyed ceremonial officer suddenly noticed a slight mistake in her movements.

Su Mengyao did not feel embarrassed or angry at all. She immediately showed an open-minded attitude and asked the ceremonial officer for the correct approach in a sincere and polite manner.

After receiving guidance, she corrected her mistakes at an astonishing speed.

Su Mengyao's excellent qualities of being diligent and studious, not being ashamed to ask questions, and being able to correct her mistakes soon spread throughout the palace and won unanimous praise from everyone in the palace.

Even the ceremonial officer, who was always known for his strictness, could not help but look upon this extremely intelligent and humble woman with a different eye.

Time flies, and as the days go by, Su Mengyao gradually masters those ancient and solemn traditional customs, and with her clever mind, she cleverly incorporates some modern elements into them.

In this way, the entire wedding banquet preparation is like a colorful painting, which is deeply rooted in the soil of tradition, absorbing the nutrients given by the long history; and bathed in the sunshine of modern civilization, blooming with flowers full of vitality and innovation.

Li Zhao was deeply proud of Su Mengyao's wisdom and tireless efforts throughout this process. He gazed upon his beloved woman with eyes filled with admiration and love. Everyone in the palace was also filled with anticipation for the upcoming wedding banquet.

Preparations for the palace wedding banquet had entered their final, thrilling sprint. Su Mengyao and Crown Prince Li Zhao's hearts felt like they were carrying two lively little rabbits, their excitement overflowing with words.

They knew very well that this wedding banquet was not only a grand celebration, but also a beautiful testimony of their love for each other, symbolizing that the two would go through life's ups and downs together hand in hand.

Just before the wedding banquet, an unexpected surprise quietly arrived - Su Mengyao actually received a mysterious gift! When the gift was presented before their eyes, everyone present exclaimed in amazement.

It is beautifully packaged and exudes a charming luster, as if it contains endless magic.

After opening the gift box, the treasure inside was even more astonishing: a dazzling piece of jewelry, inlaid with countless rare gems, sparkling with dazzling light.

This gift is not only beautiful beyond imagination, but also adds a special romantic touch to the wedding banquet, making it even more unique and meaningful.

Su Mengyao sat quietly in the antique embroidery building. The sunlight shone on her through the carved window lattices, casting a soft halo.

Her slender hands were gently holding an exquisite gift box, as if the box contained endless secrets waiting to be revealed.

The appearance of this gift box is simply amazing. Its surface is carefully decorated with gorgeous golden patterns. The lines are smooth, natural and delicate, just like the mysterious talismans in ancient legends, which are eye-catching.

Not only that, there is also a faint and charming fragrance emanating from the box, which subtly stimulates people's olfactory nerves and makes people intoxicated by it.

Su Mengyao's heart was already filled with curiosity and anticipation. Her slightly trembling fingers slowly opened the lid of the gift box.

Suddenly, a warm luster caught my eye—inside the box lay a jade pendant of exquisite craftsmanship! This jade pendant was pure and flawless, as crystal clear as mutton-fat white jade.

A pair of lifelike phoenixes are carved on it. They are leaning against each other with their wings overlapped, showing an extremely intimate posture.

The feathers of this pair of phoenixes are clearly visible, and their expressions are lifelike, as if they are about to spread their wings and fly into the sky in the next moment.

Seeing this magnificent jade pendant, Su Mengyao's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, and she couldn't help but whispered softly: "What is this? It's so beautiful!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a steady sound of footsteps coming from afar, and then a tall and handsome figure stepped into the room.

This person was Li Zhao. His eyes, as deep as a pool of water, were instantly attracted to the jade pendant on the table, and a gentle light flashed involuntarily in the depths of his eyes.

Li Zhao slowly walked to the table, stared at the jade pendant, and said in a low and magnetic voice: "This is a blessing for us."

Although his words were brief, each word seemed to contain thousands of words, revealing his deep appreciation for this gift.

Hearing this, Su Mengyao couldn't help but raise her head and look at Li Zhao with her watery eyes, her eyes filled with a complex expression of confusion and expectation.

She seemed to want to find out more about the story behind this jade pendant from Li Zhao's eyes...

Li Zhao gently held Su Mengyao's hand and led her to the window. The moonlight shone on them, adding a sense of mystery and romance to this warm moment.

"This was specially made for us by an old craftsman in the palace. He hopes that our marriage can be like this pair of phoenixes, always dependent on each other and never separated." Li Zhao's voice was full of affection and hope.

A warm feeling surged in Su Mengyao's heart, and tears glistened in her eyes.

She knew that this gift was not just an exquisite ornament, but also a testimony of their love and a blessing from everyone in the palace for their bright future.

She held Li Zhao's hand tightly, her heart filled with gratitude and happiness. "I will cherish this blessing and let it accompany us throughout our lives." Her voice was full of determination and commitment.
