The sky was bright, with rays of morning light everywhere.
The Great Qing's wedding tradition starts with fetching the bride in the morning and hosting a banquet in the afternoon. So, as soon as dawn broke, the gatekeepers were busy because the brothers and friends helping Song Zhiyu fetch the bride had arrived.
In the eyes of others, Song Zhiyu was marrying into the bride's family, but he and Niu Pan'er's wedding was conducted traditionally, held at the Prime Minister's Mansion, thanks to the consideration from Prince Dingbei's Mansion and the support of Commandery Princess Dongyang.
The entourage forming the bride-fetching party was composed of noble offspring familiar and friendly with Song Zhiyu, along with a few of his young nephews. This team was both scholarly and martial, well-prepared to handle anything.
