The already large number of people welcoming the bride became even more powerful due to the addition of people from the north of the city who organized themselves.
The whole empire was in a state of revelry for this wedding.
At the "Yipinxian" restaurant, the emperor and the empress, who were visiting privately incognito, felt quite emotional as they watched the crowds of people on the street and the loud gongs and drums.
"Why do I feel that our wedding was not so lively back then?" Yunyao shook her folding fan and glanced at the emperor with a half-smile.
"My father-in-law implicitly advised me not to waste money on the people." The emperor drank tea leisurely and was good at throwing pot.
"Haha." Feng Danyuan didn't waste money and people. Yun Yao couldn't say this.
"Besides, Dan Yuan's appearance is indeed eye-catching." The emperor continued to make excuses.
"That's the truth." Yun Yao looked at Feng Danyuan, who stood out from the crowd, and couldn't help complaining: "It's a disaster for a man to look like that! Look, how do you confuse those girls?"
"You -" the emperor smiled, "if you don't confront him for a day, you will feel uncomfortable, right?"
"You -" Yun Yao replied skillfully, "If you don't protect him for a day, you will feel unhappy, right? If you want to see him get married, just go to Prince Yan's Mansion to see him!"
"The prince has already gone to pick up the bride. It would be inappropriate for me to go again." The emperor looked serious.
"What's inappropriate? No matter how much face you give me, why should I have this extra thing?"
"Okay, I can't go." The emperor briefly told what happened when Feng Danyuan came to the palace a few days ago.
Yunyao was stunned on the spot: "Mrs. Feng——"
"As you get older, you can't escape. It's rare for Dan Yuan and her princess to have that kind of filial piety." The emperor sighed.
After being silent for a long time, Yun Yao thought of what happened next and suddenly reacted: "The prince stayed in Prince Yan's Mansion..."
"Young people, you should exercise more." The emperor used the gesture of drinking tea to cover up his guilty conscience.

Prince Yan's Mansion.
The house was full of distinguished guests. It was just like the wedding banquet held by Zhongshu Lingsun a month ago, and all the officials who could come from the court came.
The slight difference is that during the scene at Zhongshu Ling's family, everyone was able to make friends naturally and comfortably, but today in Prince Yan's Mansion, everyone was more reserved. They all played the role of "guests" in a low-key manner, eating, drinking and chatting.
He said auspicious words, never wandered around, and never exchanged pleasantries.
After all, the groom a month ago was just the "Emperor Qian", but today he is the "Prince Chen"!
Several ministers who often quarreled with Feng Danyuan in the court originally did not want to come, but they heard that the princes all came to see him off. If they did not come, they would not give face to the prince or the emperor!
Come on then.
Just give me a gift and have a meal, and it will be over if you tolerate it for a while.
Unexpectedly, when Feng Danyuan picked up the bride, he didn't even look at them. He just regarded the ministers as nothing. The fire in their hearts could no longer be suppressed.
"Li Shangshu, Chen Shangshu, Zhao Shangshu, and Sun Shangshu, I hope you will forgive me if I did not entertain you well. Eat and drink well!"
Feng Danning's friendly smiling face suddenly appeared, and she poured a basin of cold water on the fire.
"My lords, Lord Chancellor, took the time out of your busy schedules to come here. I would like to thank you all on behalf of King Chen!"
The prince has settled the matter, so what else can the ministers do?
Forget it, let’s get started!
Wei Zi couldn't see this, and just followed Feng Danyuan silently, with a somewhat complicated mood: it seemed that he didn't have much joy in getting married, he was just doing something he had to do and completing every step.
