The sun rose over Baiyun Kingdom, painting the sky in pink and gold — the grand double wedding day had arrived. From the gates to the throne hall, every path was lined with blossoms. Musicians tuned their flutes; banners of Auroria and Baiyun fluttered side by side.
Love filled the air… along with a dash of chaos.

👰 The Brides' Chamber
Xiaoxi twirled in a pink-and-gold gown, her cheeks glowing brighter than the morning. Beside her, Lianhua looked ethereal in silver-blue silk, calm yet emotional.
Xiaoxi (grinning): "Can you believe this, Lianhua? You're marrying my brother, and I'm marrying your frog!"
Lianhua (laughing softly): "Seems the heavens had a sense of humor."
Before they could say more, the door burst open — Brother Chubby Bao, Brother Long Noodles, and Brother Tiny Dumpling barged in dramatically, dressed in Aurorian guard uniforms.
Chubby Bao (fake crying): "Our Princess Xiaoxi is finally settling down — and she's staying in Auroria! My dumpling heart is safe!"
Long Noodles (sniffling): "We don't have to miss her! The palace will still have its chaos!"
Tiny Dumpling (saluting): "Princess Trouble forever, Commander of Mischief!"
Xiaoxi laughed till her eyes watered. Lianhua smiled fondly, but her own eyes glistened.
She looked at the three brothers — and the Aurorian maids around her — realizing she would be leaving them all behind.
Lianhua (softly): "You all will miss me, won't you?"
Tiny Dumpling (sniffing): "Miss you? We'll be crying into our soup for weeks!"
Chubby Bao (dramatic): "Baiyun better take good care of our flower or we'll invade with hugs!"
Lianhua (teary smile): "I'll write every week."

💫 The Twin Ceremony
Two couples, two hearts, one destiny.
Haoran stood tall, waiting for Xiaoxi; Xiangyun's calm eyes searched for Lianhua among the petals.
The Emperors and Empresses of both kingdoms sat side by side — their proud, emotional faces glowing under the temple lights.
Haoran (whispering to Xiaoxi as she reached him): "Still think I look like a frog?"
Xiaoxi (grinning): "Hmm… a well-dressed one."
He chuckled. "That's progress."
Meanwhile, Xiangyun whispered to Lianhua: "Finally, I can say it before everyone — you're mine."
Lianhua blushed but smiled: "You always were too direct, Your Highness."
The vows were made. The petals fell.
The palace roared with cheers as both couples were declared husband and wife.

🎉 The Grand Feast
Night fell over Baiyun with fireworks that painted the sky in gold and silver.
Aurorian lanterns swayed in the gardens as laughter filled the air.
Xiaoxi and Haoran danced playfully — she kept stepping on his toes while pretending not to notice.
Lianhua and Xiangyun danced more gently, eyes locked, lost in their own quiet world.
The Aurorian trio — Chubby Bao, Long Noodles, and Tiny Dumpling — were celebrating wildly.
Chubby Bao shouted, "One couple stays, one goes — fair trade!"
Long Noodles: "But we'll miss Lady Lianhua! Who'll calm down His Highness now?"
Haoran (joining in): "Don't worry. Baiyun's getting her, but she'll still rule your hearts."
The Baiyun nobles laughed; the Aurorian guards pretended to sob.
The Empresses exchanged knowing smiles, and Grandma Wen declared:
"Two weddings, two kingdoms, one big family — and I expect twice the grandchildren!"
The final firework lit up the sky — two intertwined lotuses glowing bright against the moonlight.
It was the perfect ending — love uniting kingdoms, hearts, and families forever.
