The twenty-sixth day of the eleventh month was an auspicious day for weddings.
On this day, the Qin family was welcoming a Princess Consort, and the Wei Mansion was welcoming an heir's wife.
Although neither family intended to compete, the public would inevitably compare the pageantry of the two weddings.
Wanyun went to the Wei Mansion early in the morning to help out.
First, Wanyun chatted with Old Madam Wei for a while before going to help Lady Wei receive guests.
Princess Yongjia, not bothering with propriety, also arrived at the Wei Family's home early.
Since the wedding date was set, Yongjia was practically a daughter-in-law of the Wei Family, so she came early to lend a hand.
Seeing Wanyun, Yongjia said, "I thought you'd be over with Mu Wanruo today."
Wanyun replied, "My husband doesn't want me to get too close to Mu Wanruo. Besides, Qin Zhi is marrying the daughter of a disgraced official. I can't go and offer my congratulations with great fanfare."
