DAY 2 | between the wedding & the feast

A beautiful ceremony. Ye Lanyi is a formalized part of Lian's ever-growing family, and the princess' mind whirls with ideas for how she can ensure the concubine feels welcomed and at home. Cherished, as she ought to. All the things Lian would hope her in-law's family would do for her, when her time to be wed finally arrives.

The princess steps through crowds on steps that are intended to appear unhurried yet move her swiftly. Decorations are checked to ensure they do not droop or break, the feast's preparations are observed with a critical eye, and then Lian bounces back into the swarm of well-wishers to ensure there are no distraught children or international diplomatic incidents about to occur.

Satisfied that all is progressing as intended, Lian finally settles on the periphery of the crowd and takes a fuller breath. Refreshments on a platter of bark arrive without her prompting, although Lian offers a genial smile and her thanks. Honey-glazed cuts of meat, ripe persimmon, lemongrass to chew on while idling, a taster before the real meal later. A glimpse of purple-hued raven fur and paler marks has the princess' mildly dour expression brighten. Her voice is projected, soft but intended to carry to his ears. Shèngyǔ ! Are you busy? He often is, and she has seen so little of him lately! He is always on Fen 's heels, and Lian is glad for it. Glad to see that they have each other, and such strong rapport. Lian worries about her sister, but Shengyu's devotion and skill puts some of that at ease.
