Throughout the Prime Minister's Mansion, from its pavilions and corridors to its palace walls, red lanterns still hung, creating a festive atmosphere.
Jiang Lan passed through several courtyards and verandas. When he arrived, his father, Jiang Lintian, and his mother, Li Qingshu, were strolling and chatting in the rear garden, smiles on both their faces.
Jiang Lintian held a bag of fish food. Li Qingshu took a handful and scattered it into the pond, causing the many exotic fish within to scramble and fight for it.
"Father, Mother." Jiang Lan approached and bowed.
"Lan'Er, why are you in such a hurry to come home? You should have stayed in the palace for a few more days. Your maternal grandfather thinks quite highly of Xia Junxi, you know. You two are newlyweds; it's the perfect time to deepen your relationship."
"Besides, the ceremony just ended. Aren't you afraid leaving so soon will displease Xia Junxi?"
