The next day, accompanied by Mu Jingheng, Xu Xinning went to visit the wet nurse who had been imprisoned.

This is Xu Xinning's first meeting with this aunt who is not related to her by blood, after two lifetimes.

She used to be slightly chubby with very defined features, and the Empress often said she looked like she was of mixed race.

Xu Xinning didn't know what mixed-race meant before, but she understood after her trip to the modern world.

Speaking of which, she really is of mixed race. Her mother was from the border of the Great Dynasty. When the Hu people invaded, they captured many women from the Great Dynasty and took them back. The wet nurse's mother was one of them. Soon after, she became pregnant and gave birth to the wet nurse.

Such children had very little status among the Hu people, and were even born as slaves.

The wet nurse was a slave who was somewhat attractive.

The Empress Dowager rescued her at the border. At the time, she didn't know what had happened to her. She was covered in whip marks and lying in the snow, barely alive.

Such things used to happen frequently, but they almost never happened after Xu Xinning's father ascended the throne.

In Xu Xinning's memory, she was a very clean person who would dress herself up very meticulously every day. She was also very particular about etiquette and did things in a very methodical manner, which made her a bit boring.

But now that Xu Xinning has seen her again, she feels quite unfamiliar with her, and even doubts whether the person she saw before was the real her.

She was very thin at this time, but still looked very neat. She sat there with her back straight, and there was no longer any trace of the timidity in her eyes.

Although he was in jail, he still seemed quite content.

Xu Xinning didn't know why she insisted on seeing her. Was she trying to show off how successful she was?

Xu Xinning felt sorry for the Empress. She had saved her, helped her take good care of her health, and kept her by her side, only to raise an ungrateful child.

"The princess is back?" She smiled at Xu Xinning, speaking gently as she had spoken to Xu Xinning countless times before when she returned home.

Xu Xinning didn't say anything, she just stared at her.

Speaking of which, she was the person who had been by Xu Xinning's side the longest. Xu Xinning's life had never been without her, and she could be said to be even closer to her than the Empress.

Xu Xinning could doubt anyone, but she never thought that she would be so ruthless to herself, because in the past, she was always the most anxious person whenever something happened to Xu Xinning.

She looked at Xu Xinning, and seeing that she didn't speak, she said again, "I knew you would be alright."

Xu Xinning: "So you went after me?"

"I didn't expect it to succeed either. I thought that with the princess's abilities, she would definitely be able to smell what it was. I've let the princess down!"

Xu Xinning didn't know what the point of coming here was. Feeling very aggrieved, she didn't even glance at her before turning around and walking away.

“Princess, the Eternal Heaven will surely bless you. This old servant will atone to you for all eternity!” The wet nurse suddenly shouted as she watched Xu Xinning walk out.

That very evening, news of the wet nurse's death came from the prison; it was said that she had committed suicide in a very peculiar way.

In the past, even knowing that she had done such a thing to her, Xu Xinning would probably still feel very uncomfortable. But having lived through two lifetimes, Xu Xinning had long since let go of her resentment.

Why waste your emotions on someone who hurts you?

Knowing that Xu Xinning had woken up, the imperial aunt happily brought her and a group of male concubines to visit her.

"That's bad. If you hadn't woken up soon, your royal aunt would have been ready to dismiss everyone in the manor to pray for your well-being," the royal aunt said, holding Xu Xinning's hand.

"Wouldn't I be committing a terrible sin?" Xu Xinning joked.

“Auntie is not lying to you. I gave myself a deadline. I thought if you didn’t wake up by then, I would shave their heads and become monks, eating vegetarian food and chanting sutras for you every day. With so many people praying for you, it will surely move the heavens.”

Xu Xinning felt a pang of sympathy at the thought of all those beautiful monks surrounding her every day, chanting scriptures with such earnestness…

How touching this scene is!

Seeing that Xu Xinning didn't believe it, even the Imperial Aunt seemed anxious.

"Alright, alright, stop scaring her," the Empress said with a smile, defusing the situation.

"How is this a scare tactic?" the Imperial Aunt muttered.

Xu Xinning woke up, and after a period of recuperation, the wedding date was put on the agenda.

August 18th, Tiande (Auspicious Day), auspicious for: offering sacrifices, seeking wealth, signing contracts, marriage, and making alliances; inauspicious for: opening a business, setting up a bed, burial, moving into a new house, and breaking ground; Peng Zu's Hundred Taboos: Do not break contracts on the day of Ji, and do not travel far on the day of Si; God of Happiness: Northeast; God of Fortune: South; God of Wealth: North.

The princess's wedding was a grand affair, with ten miles of red bridal procession.

Mu Jingheng, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, rode a magnificent Akhal-Teke horse to marry the princess.

Xu Xinning wore a red wide-sleeved shirt, a dark blue shawl woven with cloud and phoenix patterns, and a gold-embroidered leather belt, sitting on the Yan Zhai chariot.

This wasn't Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng's first wedding, but their 1970s wedding couldn't compare to the grand wedding of this ancient princess.

Xu Xinning was still very excited. Listening to the blessings from the people on both sides of the road, Xu Xinning was truly grateful to God.

The whole process was incredibly tiring. If Mai Dong and the others hadn't been supporting her on either side, Xu Xinning felt like she wouldn't have been able to walk at all.

Sitting on the bright red wedding bed, Xu Xinning wondered if Mu Leyu and Mu Beichen would ever reappear in their lives. She wished the family could be reunited.

You see, people are all greedy!

Master Liaowu (the Second Prince's teacher) stood on the high tower watching the wedding procession. He was wearing a kasaya, holding prayer beads, and constantly chanting Buddhist scriptures. The golden characters seemed to come alive and kept flying into the distance.

The Buddha said: Life is like a dream, and a dream is like life. Everything is an illusion; only with a clear mind can one understand the true meaning of life.
