At the Song Mansion, those who were to enter the palace included Song Wei and his wife, Granny Song, Song Yuanbao and his spouse, and Xu Dengke.
The servant in charge of the carriages prepared two spacious red wheel and canopy carriages as instructed by the higher-ups.
Song Wei, Xu Dengke, and Song Yuanbao would share one carriage, while Granny Song, Wen Wan, and Ye Ling would share the other.
Wen Wan had not slept a wink last night and planned to take a nap in the carriage on the way to the palace. However, she remembered something and discreetly asked Ye Ling a few questions about the nuptial candles from the previous night.
She was unaware that Song Wei had already reminded Song Yuanbao, worried that the young man's exuberance might cause him to break protocol.
