In stark contrast to the lively Xuan Chang Marquis Mansion, the General Mansion was far more subdued.
According to custom, when the scions of the Da Cheng Royal Family and high nobility married, the groom was not required to personally escort his bride; it was sufficient for her family to send her to the wedding.
Given the importance Zhou Junlin placed on Song Xilan, he had originally intended to go to the Song Residence himself. However, Consort Qi had sent her personal senior palace maid, Jin Shu, to escort the bride in his stead.
She was, after all, a personal attendant to the Noble Consort, so her presence was considered a show of honor to the General Mansion.
