As the night grew darker, yellow leaves drifted from the branches, carrying a hint of melancholy and desolation. They fell to the ground, crumbling into ash. While they should have mirrored the loneliness, they were now cast into a festive light by the red lanterns.
Tonight, the Marquis's Manor glowed with red lights, exuding an air of celebration.
With Su Qingzhi's approval, Su Yingxue was now the awaited Princess Consort, a status both precious and enviable!
Su Han, assisting in the manor's preparations, was especially attentive. She adorned the surroundings with red lanterns and arranged for a feast.
This evening's banquet was in honor of Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue's engagement.
The calm in Jiang Du City upon Chu Yihan's departure from the palace suggested he had not acted out of line, even with the imperial seal in hand. He still regarded himself as the Ninth Prince, a fact that greatly pleased Su Qingzhi.
