The moment Su Liuyue's vision was blocked, she frowned somewhat uncomfortably.

Fortunately, a reassuring breath soon came to her side, and Yun's voice rang in her ears, "Liu Yue, don't be afraid, your aunt will take you out."

Feeling Yun's hand supporting her, Su Liuyue's heart finally settled down and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Mrs. Guo's face turned pale and blue. Fortunately, as the mother of the bride, she didn't have to help the bride out, but had to go outside and wait first.

When the prince welcomes his bride, he does not need to go through so many procedures like ordinary families. The host even has to go to the yard to welcome the bride in person.

Su Liuyue walked out slowly with the support of Yun and Er'an. She couldn't see what was ahead and could only lower her eyes to see her feet and a small piece of road. She could only empty herself again and walk when the people around her told her to, lift her legs when she wanted to, and take a step when she wanted to.

After walking for a while, Su Liuyue could still guess through the narrow field of vision that they were almost reaching the yard.

However, she did not hear any extraneous sound from beginning to end. She was in the backyard before, and the backyard was quiet and without any noise. But Zhou Yunke should have picked her up in the yard, and he must have arrived by now. Why was it still so silent here?
Yun couldn't help but mutter, "Could it be that the person hasn't arrived yet?"

However, not long after she finished speaking, her steps paused strangely.

Not only her, Su Liuyue keenly noticed that Er'an, who was supporting her on the other side, also paused.

She was stunned for a moment, and before she could ask anything, Yun continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

If Su Liuyue could see the situation in the yard, she would definitely understand why the Yun family and the others suddenly acted so strangely.

In the yard, Zhou Yunke, tall and dressed in wedding clothes, was standing in the middle of the road. On his left and right, soldiers wearing silver armor and with fierce faces were lined up neatly. Although they were just standing there and doing nothing, they gave people an unspeakable sense of oppression.

Even the Minister of Rites who came with Zhou Yunke to welcome the bride felt a little unnatural. The Minister of Rites was a nobleman from the previous dynasty. He worked in the Ministry of Rites before the fall of Dayan. He had hosted many royal weddings, big and small, but he had never seen anyone who came to welcome the bride not let the soldiers clear the way first, and only walked in slowly when everyone was shocked and speechless.

To be honest, this doesn't look like they're here to welcome the bride, but more like they're here to steal the bride...

Originally, when the prince came to pick up the bride, there was a ceremony to be held. Su Weili, as the host, had to welcome the prince into the house. The prince had to kneel facing north in the house and offer a banner to the geese, which meant harmony between the couple. Then he would go outside and wait for the princess to come out.

However, when the people in the yard saw the soldiers running in in unison, they all froze, and no one reacted and performed the goose-laying ceremony.

In the end, Zhou Yunke walked into the house alone and performed the entire goose-laying ceremony as if no one was around.

During the whole process, he didn't even say a word to Su Weili.

Su Weili was filled with embarrassment, and his face turned pale and blue.

The prince's attitude is very clear.

He deliberately slapped him in the face.

Minister of Rites Liu Zhaoyang glanced at Su Weili silently.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to support the Crown Princess.

Even if people in the court didn't know about the mess in the Su family before, after the emperor granted the marriage, I'm afraid everyone would have found out what color underwear Doctor Su wore every day.

They knew clearly how they had treated the Crown Princess before.

However, what was beyond his expectation was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would actually do so much for the Crown Princess. It seemed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really valued the Crown Princess.

There were rumors in the court before, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had tried his best to obtain this marriage, and it was said that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei was also involved in it at the beginning. The reason why His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei ended up in such a miserable state today was most likely because he had touched His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's sore spot.

The weak link was the third daughter of the Su family, now the Crown Princess. After discovering that the Crown Prince was still willing to marry and was not really averse to women, Liu Zhaoyang, like most of the ambitious officials in the court, had the idea of ​​sending his daughter to the East Palace.

But now, seeing the posture that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was showing in order to support the Crown Princess, Liu Zhaoyang immediately backed down.

Well, the reason why the Liu family has been able to get to where they are today smoothly is because of the word stability.

Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to value him, he is already very satisfied.

It is better to avoid doing things that may lead to your own destruction!
Su Liuyue naturally had no idea what had happened here before, she just subconsciously sensed that something was wrong.

However, in the current situation, she couldn't even find anyone to ask.

Yun supported her all the way and said goodbye to Su Weili and Guo one by one. At this stage, according to custom, Su Weili and Guo should say some words of warning to her, but in such an atmosphere, Su Weili and Guo could not open their mouths and could only say "hmm" weakly in the end.

The strange feeling in Su Liuyue's heart couldn't help but become stronger.

However, Yun soon supported her and handed her hand to a slender, white hand with calluses between the knuckles, which were unique to warriors.

It was a hand that she had become very familiar with during this period.

After taking her hand, the hand first squeezed it gently, then opened its five fingers, interlaced them with hers, and tightly, tightly wrapped her hand in its own palm.

Feeling the burning temperature in the palm of his hand, Su Liuyue couldn't help but feel dazed, and for a moment he didn't have the mind to think about the strange atmosphere.

Zhou Yunke held her hand and led her out of the Su family's gate in full view of everyone. He personally sent her to the wedding sedan chair. When he let go of her hand, he gently stroked her palm as if to comfort her.

After that, ceremonial music started playing, and the bright red wedding sedan headed steadily towards the imperial city, surrounded by countless people.

What follows is a series of tedious and detailed etiquette.

By the time Su Liuyue finally entered the bridal chamber and had a short rest, it was already completely dark outside.

This was the palace, and one could not be as free and casual as outside the palace. In the huge bedroom, there were only servants waiting obediently by the side, and Su Liuyue and Zhou Yunke sitting upright on the bed.

After the ceremony of being in the same cell, the two of them were washed and changed out of their wedding clothes. They were now wearing comfortable and loose clothes.

Su Liuyue had already been sleep-deprived and hadn't eaten anything today, and this series of rituals had made her completely lose her temper.

Zhou Yunke turned his head and looked at her. Seeing that she was pursing her lips slightly, she looked uncomfortable but couldn't move around. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said in a calm voice, "You all go down."

The servants immediately responded and retreated like a tide.

Seeing them leave, Su Liuyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she completely relaxed. She leaned back on the edge of the bed with both hands without any image, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Finally, I can be more casual!"

Zhou Yunke couldn't help but smile softly, stood up, and walked to the couch not far away.

At this time, two exquisite meals were neatly placed on the small table above the couch. They were light and easy to digest.

Zhou Yunke looked at Su Liuyue with a smile and said, "You must be hungry. Do you want to eat something before going to bed?"

Su Liuyue was stunned and looked at Zhou Yunke not far away. Then she realized that there were only two of them left here.

And tonight is their wedding night. (End of this chapter)
