Huanzhu Time Travel: Yan Luo's Unbreakable Love in the Yong Dynasty

The palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful ribbons, and red silk fluttered everywhere, creating a festive atmosphere. Today was the wedding day of Xiao Yanzi and Hongli.

Inside the Prime Minister's residence, Xiao Tao and A Zhu were carefully dressing up Xiao Yanzi. As Xiao Tao combed Xiao Yanzi's hair, she said, "Miss, you look so beautiful today. Once you marry into the Fourth Prince's household, you will surely begin a wonderful new life."

Little Swallow frowned slightly: "Little Peach, the palace is full of unpredictable and treacherous situations, and I am truly uneasy."

Ah Zhu gently comforted her, "Miss, don't worry, the Fourth Prince will definitely protect you."

Dressed in her finest attire, Xiao Yanzi was ushered into the bridal sedan chair, and the procession proceeded to the palace amidst music and fanfare. Inside the palace, everyone was busy preparing for the wedding.

Hongzhou stood in the corner, clutching a wine glass tightly in his hand, his eyes filled with loneliness and pain. He drank one glass after another, muttering to himself, "Little Swallow, if it weren't for this arranged marriage, I would be standing beside you today." A servant tried to stop him, but he pushed him away.

Rong Mama and Niu Hulu Zhixi were secretly discussing something. Rong Mama's face turned fierce: "Hmph, this Little Swallow, don't think she can have it so easily. Today we'll definitely give her a hard time."

Zhixi hesitated for a moment: "Granny, what if the Emperor finds out? After all, the Emperor values ​​her very much now."

Rong Momo said disdainfully, "What's there to be afraid of? As long as we do it cleverly, she won't dare to make a fuss."

Just as the wedding was about to take place, Su Peisheng happened to pass by and overheard Rong Momo and Zhixi's conversation. He was startled and quickly and quietly reported it to Hongli.

Hongli frowned, a flash of anger in his eyes: "How dare they be so audacious!"

Su Peisheng said softly, "Fourth Prince, please don't be angry. This old servant will be careful and not let them succeed."

Xiao Yanzi was helped into the hall, her gaze meeting Hongli's. She saw deep affection and unwavering resolve in his eyes. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the wedding ceremony proceeded slowly.

However, just as the ceremony was about to begin, Rong Momo secretly gave a signal, and a palace maid suddenly rushed over carrying a tray of wine. Seemingly by accident, she intentionally bumped into Xiao Yanzi. Xiao Yanzi staggered and almost fell.

Upon seeing this, Hongli quickly reached out to support Xiaoyanzi and shouted, "How could you be so reckless, you palace maid!"

The palace maid was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for forgiveness: "Fourth Prince, please forgive me, I didn't mean to."

Su Peisheng hurriedly stepped forward and said sternly, "Drag him away and interrogate him carefully!"

Rong Momo said in a pretentious tone, "Oh dear, on such a joyous day, we mustn't let anything go wrong."

Xiao Yanzi knew in her heart that this was someone's doing on purpose, but she didn't want to cause trouble on this joyous day. She simply said to Hongli, "Fourth Prince, it's alright. Don't let me spoil the atmosphere."

Hongli held Xiaoyanzi's hand tightly: "Xiaoyanzi, I will never let you suffer any injustice."

The wedding ceremony continued and finally concluded. Xiao Yanzi was led to the bridal chamber, where she sat on the edge of the bed, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

Hongzhou was completely drunk, and in a side hall, he kept muttering about his past with Xiaoyanzi: "Xiaoyanzi, how happy we were when we played together in the capital..."

While entertaining the guests at the banquet, Hongli's thoughts remained with Xiaoyanzi in the bridal chamber. He quickly ended his engagements and headed towards the room.

Pushing open the door, Hongli saw Xiaoyanzi sitting by the bed. He walked over and gently lifted Xiaoyanzi's veil: "Xiaoyanzi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Xiao Yanzi looked at Hongli with complicated emotions in her eyes: "Fourth Prince, today's wedding, though lively, also hides dangers."

Hongli embraced Xiaoyanzi: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. From now on, I will protect you, and we will face the storms of the palace and the secrets of the Shadow Pavilion together."

Xiao Yanzi leaned against Hongli's chest and nodded slightly: "Fourth Prince, I believe you. But the matter of the Shadow Pavilion is becoming increasingly mysterious. What is the truth behind that mural?"

Hongli pondered for a moment: "We will explore slowly. Now that we are husband and wife, we will surely be able to unravel the mystery together."

Meanwhile, in the Shadow Pavilion, the mysterious leader was listening to his subordinate's report: "Leader, Xiao Yanzi and Hongli are getting married today. Should we continue with our plan?"

The leader sneered, "This is just the beginning. They think marriage will bring them peace. How naive! Pass down the order to keep an eye on them and search for the secrets of the murals. We must not let them succeed."

Meanwhile, at the Prime Minister's residence, Lin Yuhang gazed in the direction of the palace and silently prayed, "Sister, I hope everything goes well for you in the palace and that you can resolve your doubts soon."

The Prime Minister's wife was also wiping away tears: "My daughter will be in the deep palace from now on. I only hope that she can be safe and happy."

As night deepened in the palace, Xiao Yanzi and Hongli knew that their future path was full of unknowns and challenges, including not only the power struggles in the palace but also the lurking conspiracy of the Shadow Pavilion. However, with each other by their side, they gained more courage and determination to face everything that was to come.
