In the Bridal chamber, the maidservants had arranged everything as per Court Lady Xu's instructions. An-Ying Lili had removed her veil despite court Lady Xu stressing her not to do so.
"When he will come, I will put it on, court lady Xu," Ying Lili humbly said. Su Binxi had a bamboo stick basket in her hand in which rose petals could be seen. "Why did you pluck so many roses, Binxi? They are wasted," Ying Lili proclaimed.
"Your highness, these rose petals are the symbol of love. The bridal chamber is filled with the fragrance of roses and the imperial crown prince is going to like it," Su Binxi asserted with a smile and she started spreading the rose petals on the large circular bed.
