"Today?" The thought of it being so soon made her have butterflies in her tummy. "What should I prepare? What kind of gifts should I bring, and what should I wear?"

"Don't worry. You don't need to prepare anything, just be yourself and they will appreciate you this way." He urged. He knew that whether or not his relatives liked Xiaoshi, they knew that they had no right to give opinions about her and would keep their sentiments to themselves. It was only out of respect that he wanted them to know who he would be married to in a few months.

Hearing his assurance, she rushed to her closet and picked out what to wear. She tried on several outfits, making him want to burst into laughter.

"Don't fuss too much. Just dress the way you want to." He assured her. "If you like, you can as well wear the emperor's new robe. Though I would not like you to wear that in public because only I can enjoy the beautiful view."
