Aside from Feng Yu Heng, who had gone with Xuan Tian Ming to the Xiang Palace ahead of time, the rest of the Feng family's members gathered around to send Feng Chen Yu out of the manor. Even Fen Dai, who never got along with her, did not cause her any trouble. She just quietly watched Chen Yu bend at the waist and climb into the sedan after Duan Mu Qing lifted the curtain. Duan Mu Qing then waved his hand, and the sedan was raised, quickly going in the direction of the Xiang Palace.
Jin Zhen stood at An shi's side and subconsciously said: "How does this feel like a wedding? This is even more unlucky than a funeral."
An shi stared at her, her eyes filled with a warning. Jin Zhen also knew that she had spoken out of turn and lowered her head. She no longer said another word.
But everyone understood that Jin Zhen was speaking the truth. Even the matriarch looked at the departing sedan and shook her head while sighing. She then asked Feng Jin Yuan: "Was this truly the best choice for the Feng family?"
Feng Jin Yuan gritted his teeth: "We cannot know what will happen tomorrow. We can only take one step at a time." While saying this, he looked in the direction of Xiang Rong. The balance scale in his heart had already begun to shift without him noticing.
The Feng family's side was quiet because they did not receive any invitations, they could not send any guests. After the entire family sent Chen Yu to the sedan, they returned to Peony courtyard's main hall. Everyone sat there, but the air remained silent.
Unlike the Feng family, the Xiang Palace was extremely lively. There was no shortage of princes and officials that had gone to attend. Even the other large families of the capital had received invitations. Carrying expensive gifts, they came to enjoy the festivities. For a while, the Xiang Palace was brimming with people.
When Feng Chen Yu's wedding sedan arrived at the entrance, the person inside the sedan heard a sudden joyous cheer come from ahead. The sound of singing and music came from ahead, and it sounded very lively. She was a little puzzled and slightly lifted the curtain to ask the granny in charge of taking care of her: "What is this sound? Have we run into another family's ceremony?"
The granny said: "We have arrived in front of the Xiang Palace's gates. Young miss is enjoying this joyous event. Don't look at how the Feng family's side was quiet, the Xiang Palace is very lively. In order to bring in eldest young miss, his Highness the third prince put in a great deal of effort!"
Hearing that this music and singing was to welcome her, the heart that had already sunk to the lowest point possible quickly began to recover. She knew that the third prince cared for her. She trusted that when the veil was lifted, this care would reach its apex.
Finally, the sedan stopped in front of the Xiang Palace. It was still Duan Mu Qing that lifted the curtain of the sedan, while the granny helped her walk into the manor, one step at a time. From the age of ten, Feng Chen Yu began practicing all of the procedures and courtesies of a wedding in preparation for her own. No matter if she married a prince, a noble, a general or a high-ranking official, she could guarantee that she would not make a single mistake.
Unfortunately, absolutely nothing that she had prepared was used when leaving her family. There was no kicking of the sedan door, no shooting of arrows, no leaping over braziers, and there wasn't even a groom there to welcome her. Every single thing had gone differently than she had anticipated. Although she heard the lively and joyous sounds, and she felt much happier than when she had left the Feng manor, her heart became filled with panic for some reason. This panic caused her feet to stumble.
The granny quietly reminded her: "Eldest young miss, do not fear. This is something that every girl must experience when getting married. Right now, there are great plays taking place on your two sides. The guests have come from the yard to the entrance. If it was not for the Xiang Palace being sufficiently large, it truly could not hold all of them."
