The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

Time slipped by quietly amidst their busy schedules and struggles. Aside from his hectic official duties, Ouyang Han's daily life consisted of shuttling between several food stalls undergoing intensive renovations. He even took time to scout locations for a suitable pharmacy, and after a meticulous search, he finally found a shop he quite liked. However, unfortunately, the shop was a bit too small to meet all his needs. But when he noticed another shop next door, a plan immediately formed in his mind—merging these two shops would undoubtedly be a perfect choice.

So he acted swiftly, seeking help from the Ministry of Works. With the Minister of Works' enthusiastic introduction, he found several renowned craftsmen in the decoration field and took them to the shops he had chosen. Ouyang Han showed them his meticulously designed blueprints one by one and urged them to quickly organize their workforce, first combining the two shops together before commencing decoration work.

After meticulously explaining every detail of the renovation, ensuring everything was perfect, Ouyang Han slowly pulled a thick stack of silver notes from his robes. He solemnly handed the notes to the steward in charge of the renovation, repeatedly instructing him that if any funds ran short during the renovation process, or if necessary materials became difficult to find, he should not hesitate to come to the Prince Jing's residence; he would do his utmost to provide the necessary assistance and support. With that, a gentle smile appeared on Ouyang Han's face. Having finished explaining everything, he turned and left, his steps steady, his retreating figure exuding an undeniable decisiveness and composure.

After completing all this, Ouyang Han returned home overjoyed and shared the good news with Chen Mengyao. Upon hearing this, Chen Mengyao's face lit up with a radiant smile, her joy beyond words. Afterwards, Ouyang Han mobilized all his relatives and friends in the family WeChat group to brainstorm ideas and come up with a catchy name for the soon-to-open pharmacy.

Given that the pharmacy would assume a certain charitable function, after a heated discussion, everyone unanimously agreed to name it "Jishantang" (济善堂). Upon learning that the name of the pharmacy had been decided, Emperor Mingsheng gladly fulfilled his promise, personally wielding his brush to write these three large characters, and instructed his personal eunuch to send them to Prince Jing's residence, where Prince Jing would arrange for skilled craftsmen to make a plaque.

During this period, aside from her daily meals and rest, Chen Mengyao devoted almost all her time to her own little world. She hid in her room, immersed in the exciting plot of the TV series, enjoying this rare moment of peace and leisure, as if the whole world had stood still.

Recently, the Prince's mansion has been bustling with activity, as the Prince's wedding is approaching and everyone is extremely busy. The experienced and capable steward, in particular, has managed to arrange everything in an orderly manner.

He held a detailed list and methodically directed everyone to perform their duties. Some servants were dispatched to the market to purchase all kinds of items needed for the banquet, from rare ingredients to exquisite pastries, from luxurious silks to fine porcelain, all of which were carefully selected; others were responsible for delivering wedding invitations to the mansions of the city's major families and ministers. Dressed in neat attire, holding gold-embossed red invitations, they smiled and politely conveyed the joyous occasion to each household.

In addition, some skillful people were focused on decorating the new house and the entire mansion, meticulously adorning every corner to fill the entire residence with a rich and joyful atmosphere. Some were hanging red lanterns, their vibrant red seemingly foreshadowing a prosperous future for the newlyweds; others were pasting up double happiness (囍) paper-cut window decorations, the exquisite patterns expressing heartfelt wishes for a happy and fulfilling marriage; still others were arranging potted flowers and bonsai, the fragrant aroma filling the air and soothing the soul.

Time flies, and the wedding day arrived in the blink of an eye. The entire palace was decorated beautifully, filled with a strong festive atmosphere. Everywhere you looked, there were bright red "double happiness" characters, either pasted on doors and windows or hanging high under the eaves, like clusters of burning flames, making the festive atmosphere even more intense.

Moreover, every corner of the mansion was meticulously decorated, creating an exceptionally festive and peaceful atmosphere. Vibrant flowers bloomed in every corner of the courtyard, vying for attention and releasing enchanting fragrances; colorful silks danced in the wind like ribbons, giving a dreamlike feeling; and large red lanterns hung high on both sides of the gate, like stars fallen to earth, illuminating the joyful faces of the people.

At this moment, everyone in the Prince's mansion was busy, but their faces were all beaming with smiles. The servants were moving tables, chairs, and other items in an orderly manner, and they were also preparing various teas and snacks to entertain the guests who had arrived early. Although they were sweating profusely, they did not complain at all. The chefs were doing their best to cook up a variety of delicious dishes. The entire Prince's mansion was immersed in joy and happiness, and it seemed that even the air was filled with a sweet aroma.

The steward methodically directed the servants to carefully arrange tables and chairs in front of the mansion to receive the guests who came to offer their congratulations, and was responsible for recording the details of the gifts brought by the guests. Before long, the ministers of the court arrived at the mansion one after another, each dressed in fine clothes and with a joyful expression.

The servants at the entrance greeted the distinguished guests warmly and respectfully asked them to wait a moment while they registered their names and gifts. After the guests had registered, the steward personally led the other servants, smiling as they guided the honored guests into the mansion.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Han had gathered several close friends and his two inseparable younger brothers to form his bridal party. Ouyang Han was dressed in a vibrant red wedding robe, his posture upright as a pine tree, his handsome face radiating even more joy and charm than usual.

Ouyang Han was well aware that his beloved Yao Yao would set up many interesting and challenging tests to challenge him during the upcoming wedding ceremony, but this did not cause him any worry. After all, he had always been devoted to Yao Yao and cared for her deeply, and he believed that with this affection, he would be able to pass all the tests smoothly.

Dressed in a bright and eye-catching bright red wedding robe, he gracefully leaped onto the tall, powerful horse with a coat as glossy as brocade. Gripping the reins tightly, he gently squeezed the horse's flanks, and the horse reared up, neighed, and galloped forward with strong, agile strides.

Behind him, several of his close brothers, who were like brothers to him, followed closely on their own strong horses. They were all in high spirits and had happy expressions on their faces, as if they too were the protagonists of this grand wedding.

Further on, a magnificently decorated and exquisitely crafted bridal sedan chair was steadily lifted by a group of strong and sturdy porters, swaying rhythmically with the sound of horses' hooves. Behind the sedan chair was a grand and unbroken wedding procession. This procession was filled with fluttering colorful flags, deafening drums and music, and a lively atmosphere that attracted passersby to stop and watch, casting envious and blessing glances.

At this moment, he was filled with eager anticipation for the wedding. This anticipation made him incredibly excited, his heart pounding as if it would leap out of his throat. However, at the same time, an indescribable nervousness crept into his heart. After all, this was a significant moment in his life, and facing the unknown future, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. But regardless, he was determined to greet his beautiful bride with the utmost confidence and pride.
