The emperor did not bring the dowry with him; he would send it over overnight when the wedding was actually about to take place.

Su Lixia was woken up early in the morning and was told to pack up and leave.

"Anyway, we won't get there tomorrow, so what's wrong with leaving a little later? I'm so sleepy." Su Lixia's eyelids were heavy, and she couldn't muster any energy.

"There's nothing we can do. They used to set off very early in the morning too. Princess, please don't complain. His Majesty has prepared a large and spacious carriage for us. He's just worried that you might get tired on the way, so you can rest in the carriage."

Su Lixia gave a muffled "hmm" and said nothing more.

The emperor held a set of crown and robes in his hand and personally handed it to Su Lixia.

"This crown and robes might be even more magnificent than your future wedding dress. And this crown, you should be able to tell how well it's crafted."

The white dress with gold trim and the crown full of diamonds—Su Lixia naturally knew about this. This dress was mentioned in the descriptions of Su Lixia throughout the book, and it was because the female lead liked it that she mentioned it to Yi Zexuan.

Su Lixia admired the dress; it really looked beautiful.

"Change into this when you get close to the Prince's residence. It represents your dignity as a princess. You need to establish your authority there. Your father has found two experienced nannies for you. They will definitely be able to offer advice on difficult matters."

"Thank you, Father. You are always so good to me."

"You're their only legitimate daughter, who else would they pamper if not you? Take good care of yourself over there, and don't be too willful, because no one will indulge you then."

Su Lixia nodded and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, Xiao Wu will definitely take good care of himself. Father has said so much, Mother won't know what to say in a little while."

"You silly child." The Empress stepped forward, took Su Lixia's hand, and said, "Your mother has so much to say to you, how can you say you have nothing to say?"

Su Lixia smiled wryly: "Of course I know, but I'm not used to Father Emperor's nagging. I also wanted to talk to Mother Empress a bit more, so I just brushed it off like this."

"You, you." All three of them laughed.

"Why are you talking so much?" The young guard crossed his arms and squinted at the sunlight, already exhausted.

Lin Ziwen stood next to him, chuckled, and said, "If your daughter marries far away in the future, I'd like to see what kind of person you are."

"Alright, alright, look how long the Regent and the others have been waiting. We can't say anything more now. Remember to take good care of yourself. Things over there are not as good as here. There will be many unpleasant things. If you have any grievances, write them down and tell your mother. No matter how far away your mother is, she will come to avenge you."

Su Lixia couldn't keep a smile on her face. Seeing the tears welling up in the Empress's eyes, Su Lixia felt very sorry for her. In the original book, the Fifth Princess was always emphasized as being very favored!

"Mother, rest assured, Xiao Wu will definitely temper his temper and get used to that place as soon as possible. Who knows when we will meet again after this separation? Why don't you and Father take advantage of this good time to have another child, so that your younger siblings can take care of my filial duties in my place?"

...

What an unexpected turn of events! It made the Empress laugh in exasperation.

After the three said their goodbyes, Yi Zexuan and his group bid farewell to the emperor, and the group set off.

The Empress covered her tears with her handkerchief and said, "I only have one daughter, and you used her for a political marriage. I am truly heartbroken."

The empress glared at the emperor, complaining with aggrieved feelings.

"That's my favorite fifth princess. Do you think I don't feel sorry for her? Let's have another one while things are going well."

Upon hearing this, the Empress instantly blushed and playfully punched his shoulder.
