Liao Family finished speaking with Aunt Liao, then brought Yunuo and Yunluo back to the mansion.
That night, a spring rain fell, accompanied by thunderous sounds, waking Du Yunluo several times, leaving her restless.
The news received the next day jolted Du Yunluo wide awake.
A royal decree was issued from the palace.
Princess Nanyan was betrothed to Prince Rui, to be wed on March 27.
Everyone was too stunned to speak.
It wasn't that the marriage itself was unusual; despite Princess Nanyan having no family to rely on, she grew up in the palace, raised by the Empress Dowager, and served as the study companion to Princess Yunhua, making her status already higher than most daughters of noble officials. Becoming the principal wife of Prince Rui was no surprise.
The shock came with the timing.
The decree was issued on March 18, with the wedding set for March 27.
Does this mean they will skip as many of the six wedding rites as possible?
This is too rushed, isn't it?
