"After Su Yuanyuan came of age, the wedding of Cang Xuan and Su Yuanyuan was put on the agenda."

"Now that Cang Xuan had regained his status as the crown prince, Zi Ji Zhenren took over the Heavenly Observatory. Zi Ji Zhenren specially calculated an auspicious date for the wedding of his beloved disciple and Su Yuanyuan, and the wedding was set for the twelfth day of the sixth lunar month."

Red silk and red lanterns were hung everywhere in the Eastern Palace. The bedrooms of the crown prince and the crown princess were cleaned spotlessly. All the furniture and utensils in the rooms were replaced with those decorated with paired dragons and phoenixes, as well as mandarin ducks. Even the carpets were changed to bright red ones."
