In the blink of an eye, autumn yielded to winter. This year had two springs and a leap month, so the next year is a "blind year," a year that many people avoid for holding celebratory events. Thus, there were especially many festivities at the end of this year. Many officials were either marrying off daughters or obtaining brides, and even among the common folk, many were hosting joyful celebrations.

On any auspicious day you could see a multitude of wedding processions along every main street in the Imperial City.

To avoid potential complications, the wife of Prince An had hurriedly arranged the marriage of their heir before the New Year.

Fortunately, Shangguan Wanru was back to present her birthday congratulations to the Emperor, and also had a chance to attend Shangguan Ruixi's wedding.

On her first day back to her maiden home, Shangguan Wanru sent a card to Xiao'er, asking to visit the next day.
