Extra Chapter 6: Marriage in Tianji Pavilion (Grand Finale)
After Shen Wan's wedding banquet, Su Yuheng took the white cat that Qi Lingzhou had given her back to the East Palace.
When I opened the door of the wing room, I saw Huo Xingzhi packing things.
Su Yuheng walked in holding the white cat and his eyes fell on Huo Xingzhi.
Huo Xingzhi is now the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. Although he wears black clothes as before, his style and appearance are still in accordance with the standards of the Eastern Palace.
Seeing Huo Xingzhi packing things, Su Yuheng carefully put the white cat down.
"Your Highness, are you planning to go on a long journey?"
Hearing the voice, Huo Xingzhi turned around, curled his lips and looked at Su Yuheng, with a look of doting in his eyes.
"Heng'er."
He walked over gently, held Su Yuheng's hand in his palm, and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed.
Su Yuheng was a little puzzled as to why Huo Xingzhi was so mysterious.
"Your Highness, what's wrong? Why are you so mysterious?"
Huo Xingzhi reached out, took off a piece of snow-white hair from her head, and looked at her gently.
"You've only heard of the Tianji Pavilion, but never seen it."
"Now that you and I have been married for a long time, it's time to take you to the Tianji Pavilion."
Su Yuheng laughed and said, "Your Highness, why do you suddenly want to go to Tianji Pavilion?"
Huo Xingzhi lowered his eyes, thinking of the scene of Shen Wan and Prince Rui's wedding today, and felt a little sad for a moment.
Because of Su Yuheng's special status, the two of them only got married hastily at Prince Li's Mansion.
But now Mrs. Zhao of the Shen family is still alive, and Su Yuheng did not marry her as a daughter of the Shen family.
Although he gave her the three books and six ceremonies, Huo Xingzhi always felt that something was missing.
Perhaps it was because they felt that their wedding was too simple, not as grand as that of Shen Wan and Prince Rui.
"Heng'er, are you willing to go?" Huo Xingzhi asked.
Su Yuheng nodded and said, "I heard that the entrance to the Tianji Pavilion is unusual, and that the Tianji Pavilion is connected to the black market."
"Of course I'm willing to go to Tianji Pavilion, but before I go, I want to go to the black market."
"Go to the black market?" Huo Xing frowned.
Su Yuheng said: "Although my mother's eyesight has healed, after so many years of torture from the poisonous insect, her vision still blurs occasionally."
"I want to buy some secret medicine on the black market."
Huo Xingzhi nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to Heng'er."
"We'll leave tomorrow."
"kindness."
The next day.
Huo Xingzhi got up early to pack his luggage, while Su Yuheng began to dress up.
This time when they went to the black market, Huo Xingzhi and Su Yuheng did not bring much luggage.
Huo Xingzhi said that Tianji Pavilion was like his own home, with everything he needed.
The two of them only brought two maids who knew martial arts, Linglong and Zhuque.
There are also Bai Ze and Qing Long.
A few people went to the Imperial Palace to bid farewell to the retired Emperor and Empress Showa, then got on a carriage and headed towards the black market.
The entrance to the black market is very mysterious.
When they arrived at the entrance, guards stopped the carriage.
Bai Ze lifted the curtain of the carriage, took out a token and showed it to the guard, who immediately knelt down.
"Master, please."
In the carriage, Huo Xingzhi had an expressionless face as he signaled Bai Ze to lower the carriage curtain before heading towards the entrance of the black market.
The entrance to the black market is a long passage, guarded on all sides by guards. These guards are wearing soft gold armor, have great martial arts skills, and are invulnerable to swords and knives.
Merchants from various countries traveling back and forth, as well as dignitaries entering the black market, all required tokens granted by the Tianji Pavilion.
After Su Yuheng, Huo Xingzhi and others entered the black market, the originally clear sky became overcast.
The entire black market is a mixed bag, with countless casinos, secret dealers, slave markets, and arenas.
There are also some pharmacies selling secret medicines, as well as money houses.
It was Su Yuheng's first time to come to the black market, and he was stunned by the scene.
She held the white cat that Qi Lingzhou had given her in her arms, looked around, and then turned to look at Huo Xingzhi.
"Your Highness, is this the black market managed by the Tianji Pavilion?"
"It's really different from the outside."
"I heard that this black market is a lawless area where both black and white people are involved."
Huo Xingzhi smiled and said, "You know quite a lot."
Su Yuheng curled his lips, "Of course."
"Master, we've arrived at the black market."
The coachman's voice came from outside. Huo Xingzhi carefully protected Su Yuheng and got off the carriage.
"Heng'er, do you know where the largest herbal medicine shop on the black market is?"
Su Yuheng held the white cat in his arms and said with a smile: "It should be the one in West Lane. I've heard of it."
Huo Xingzhi smiled and said, "Little girl, you know quite a lot."
"You're right, it's in West Lane."
"Let's go to West Lane. Maybe we can meet someone you don't want to see."
Su Yuheng was puzzled: "Someone I don't want to see?"
Huo Xingzhi said: "We'll find out when we get there."
Su Yuheng nodded: "Yes."
Several people got off the carriage and walked along the street. When they reached West Lane, they saw a pharmacy.
I heard that this pharmacy sells secret medicines that cannot be bought outside the black market.
After Su Yuheng entered, the boss was very polite.
When the boss saw Huo Xing beside Su Yuheng, his eyes lit up.
The leader of Tianji Pavilion actually came to the black market.
Su Yuheng asked: "Boss, do you have any secret medicine to treat eye diseases?"
The shop owner said respectfully: "Of course, follow me, girl."
After saying that, the shop owner took Su Yuheng and others inside.
After a while, the waiter from the pharmacy brought in a few boxes.
When the box was opened, there were some precious medicinal herbs inside.
Su Yuheng picked up the herbs in a box and smelled them.
"It is indeed for treating eye diseases. How much silver does it cost?"
The shop owner smiled and said, "Miss, we don't charge any money. I heard that the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion is about to marry a Pavilion Master's wife. We won't accept any money."
"Is he going to marry the Pavilion Master's wife?" Su Yuheng wondered, and turned to look at Huo Xingzhi.
Huo Xingzhi looked at her with a half-smile.
Su Yuheng turned around and looked at the shop owner again.
"Boss, you must have heard something wrong. How could the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion marry the Pavilion Master's wife?"
Behind them, Qinglong, Linglong and Zhuque looked at each other and laughed with their hands covering their mouths.
Su Yuheng took out the silver from his sleeve and threw it to the boss.
"It's not nice to take your things for free."
"This..." Seeing that the shop owner was still hesitant, Su Yuheng said: "If you don't accept payment, I won't come next time."
The shop owner said respectfully: "Okay, I'll take it first."
After getting the medicinal materials for treating the eye disease, Su Yuheng took Huo Xingzhi and others out of the pharmacy.
As soon as I walked out of the pharmacy, I heard a middle-aged man's scolding coming from not far away.
Along with it was the sound of whips.
"Go faster, go faster!"
"Any more slow, I'll kill you!"
Su Yuheng looked ahead and saw a middle-aged man whipping several slaves whose hands and feet were shackled.
The slaves were dressed in rags, their hands and feet were chained, and they looked unkempt.
Among them was a slave who was about forty or fifty years old. He looked at the middle-aged man who was beating them with a stern look in his eyes and gritted his teeth.
Su Yuheng looked at the slave's face, and it was none other than Minglang.
She scoffed, "You deserve it."
Huo Xingzhi: "The person I said I don't want to see is him."
"Heng'er, now that we have bought your medicine, we should go back to Tianji Pavilion."
Su Yuheng nodded: "Yes, okay."
After getting on the carriage, they went directly to the Tianji Pavilion outside the black market.
Tianji Pavilion is a mysterious attic.
When Su Yuheng, Huo Xingzhi and others arrived, they heard the voices of a maid and maids talking from afar.
"Tomorrow, our Pavilion Master is getting married, so please be prepared."
"I know, Mammy."
"Madam, have you seen the Pavilion Master's wife? I heard that the Pavilion Master's wife is the most beautiful woman in Yanjing."
The maids and the nanny were talking to each other, which made Su Yuheng a little surprised.
Seeing her like this, Huo Xingzhi reached out and gently squeezed her hand.
"Heng'er, what's wrong?"
"Let's go in."
Without waiting for Su Yuheng to hesitate, Huo Xingzhi had already taken Su Yuheng into the Tianji Pavilion.
There was a festive atmosphere in Tianji Pavilion.
The maids and servants decorated the entire attic in bright red, creating a festive atmosphere.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Huo Xingzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at her, smiling, "Of course it's a wedding."
"A wedding?"
Huo Xingzhi said: "It's a happy event for both of us."
He continued, "Back at Prince Li's Mansion, our wedding was arranged in such haste that we didn't even have a banquet for the guests."
"Now that I think about it, I really treated you unfairly."
"I brought you back to Tianji Pavilion today because I wanted to marry you again."
"Three letters and six ceremonies, and the phoenix crown and bridal robe are given to you."
Su Yuheng held the white cat, standing there in a daze, looking at Linglong and Zhuque behind him.
"So you all knew about this?"
Linglong smiled and said, "The Pavilion Master said that if I tell you, it won't be a mystery anymore. He wants to give the Crown Princess a surprise."
Su Yuheng sighed and said, "But you can't hide it from me. My mother, sister, and Azhou haven't been informed yet."
Huo Xingzhi said: "Don't worry, they will come."
As they were talking, Su Yuheng saw the maids Bai Lu and Bai Zhi running towards him from the south with smiling faces.
"Princess."
Su Yuheng sighed: "You two are here too. Didn't you say you were going home to visit your parents this morning?"
"I came to visit my parents at Tianji Pavilion."
Bai Lu walked up to Su Yuheng with a smile on her face and picked up the white cat.
"Tianji Pavilion is also the Crown Princess's home. We servants have been following the Crown Princess since we were young, so it's natural that we are here to visit her."
The white cat was held in Bai Lu's arms, making meowing sounds.
Su Yuheng just felt that things happened too suddenly, making it difficult for her to adapt.
At dusk, Huo Xingzhi took Su Yuheng to the bridal chamber in Tianji Pavilion.
The room was ablaze with red, and a bright red wedding gown was placed on the table.
The last time I got married with Huo Xingzhi at Prince Li's Mansion, it was indeed too hasty.
She even felt that it was not a marriage at all.
Now seeing the scene of Tianji Pavilion, I feel it is more formal.
In Dayan, it is a rule that newlyweds cannot see each other the night before their wedding.
Huo Xingzhi took advantage of this opportunity to sort out the internal affairs of Tianji Pavilion.
There are a total of four guards in Tianji Pavilion.
Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
Baihu and Xuanwu are away all year round. Today, they heard that the head of Tianji Pavilion was getting married, so they came back to Tianji Pavilion specially.
In the side room of Tianji Pavilion, Huo Xingzhi sat on a chair and took the letter handed to him by Xuanwu.
Xinzi slowly opened it, and everything that came into her sight made her frown slightly.
"Qin, what are you planning to do again?"
Xuanwu said: "I heard that the Prime Minister of Qin was driven to the black market. The Emperor of Qin was furious and tried to send someone to Yanjing again."
"On the surface, it's for a visit, but in reality it's most likely for the White Tiger Order."
Huo Xingzhi sneered: "For the White Tiger Order, they still refuse to give up. Haven't Heng'er and Qi Lingzhou already been to the Zhao family?"
He put the letter down and said, "I'm afraid his dream has come to an end."
Baihu handed another letter to Huo Xingzhi.
"Pavilion Master, this is news from Qi State."
Huo Xingzhi opened the letter, read the message, and sneered.
"Let him be. The border issue has severely damaged Qi's vitality. It will take at least ten years to rebuild it."
"You two, continue to gather intelligence in Qin and Qi, and remember to pass on the message promptly."
Baihu and Xuanwu clasped their fists and said, "Yes, Pavilion Master."
Huo Xingzhi asked, "Have you sent out all the invitations for the wedding?"
Baihu clasped his fists and said, "Invitations to the Tianji Pavilion Master's wedding have already been sent to various countries."
Huo Xingzhi said, "That's good."
"You two should step back first."
Baihu and Xuanwu clasped their fists and said, "Yes, Pavilion Master."
At night, an extremely luxurious carriage was parked outside the Tianji Pavilion.
The carriage curtain was opened, and a man in bright yellow clothes with gray hair got out of the carriage, supported by two eunuchs.
When the maids, servants, guards and servants in front of the pavilion saw the gray-haired man, they all knelt down immediately.
"Meet the old Pavilion Master."
The retired emperor was wearing a bright yellow uniform and leaning on a cane, looking at the group of people kneeling below.
He said softly, "Everyone, get up. This is not the first time you've seen me."
"Yes, old Pavilion Master."
The maids, old women, guards and other servants all stood up, and a group of guards in black came out of the pavilion.
After the guards came out, they stood in two neat rows beside the emperor.
The retired emperor had an expressionless face as he walked inside step by step with the help of the eunuchs.
"Where is the Pavilion Master?"
The guard said, "Replying to the old Pavilion Master, the Pavilion Master is on the third floor."
The Emperor sighed: "Are you dealing with important matters?"
Guard: "Yes, Baihu and Xuanwu returned to Tianji Pavilion."
"Old Pavilion Master, our Pavilion Master has arranged a room for you. Please come this way."
As the guard spoke, he led the emperor to the best room.
Counting the days, he hasn't returned to Tianji Pavilion for seven years.
After the retired emperor was welcomed to the wing room, Huo Xingzhi hurried over to see him.
Seeing Huo Xingzhi's hurried look, the emperor sighed and said, "After all, the marriage is more important."
Huo Xingzhi smiled and said, "Grandfather, you are the one who understands your grandson."
"Now that the Royal Grandfather is here, please take a good look at this Tianji Pavilion. This is the result of your hard work."
The Emperor nodded: "Go ahead. The marriage is more important."
"Yes, Royal Grandfather."
The next day.
Su Yuheng was woken up by Bai Lu and got dressed early.
Su Yuheng sat in front of the bronze mirror, feeling as if he were in another world.
After a while, a maid brought Quanfu in to help Su Yuheng dress up.
However, the lucky person this time is the wife of the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister's wife and Prime Minister Xie have been married for many years and have always been very loving.
The wife of the Prime Minister was raised in pampered condition and had no misfortunes in her life. After marrying the Prime Minister, the couple lived in loving harmony.
After the Prime Minister's wife came in, she took a comb and helped Su Yuheng to do her makeup.
"Comb your hair to the end, and raise the case to the level of your eyebrows;
"Comb the two combs to the end, wings together..."
"Comb the comb three times to the end, ......"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess will surely live happily ever after and have both sons and daughters."
Su Yuheng smiled and said, "Then I'll just thank my wife for that."
"Princess, the auspicious time has arrived."
Bai Lu's voice came from outside the door. The Prime Minister's wife gently helped Su Yuheng up and covered him with a veil again.
"The most important thing about marriage is timing. Don't miss the auspicious time."
Su Yuheng nodded: "Yes."
She was supported by her two maids, Bailu and Baizhi, and walked step by step into the front hall of Tianji Pavilion.
In the front hall, Huo Xingzhi was wearing a fiery red wedding dress. As he looked at the bride who was coming, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
This was their second marriage, which could be considered as making up for the hasty nature of her previous marriage to him.
At that time, he wanted to possess her legitimately so much that he went to the palace and asked the retired emperor to give him the royal jade butterfly and write her name on it.
Su Yuheng was under the veil, and although she was wearing it, she vaguely knew that there were many people in the hall today.
Just as she was stunned, a warm big hand reached out and gently squeezed her hand.
Huo Xingzhi whispered, "Heng'er, the last time you and I were in Prince Li's mansion, we only bowed to heaven and earth, not to our parents."
"Today, I have made up for all my regrets."
Su Yuheng was stunned and asked in a low voice: "Are mother and the others here?"
Huo Xingzhi chuckled: "How could I not take this kind of thing into consideration? They are your closest relatives, so of course they have to come."
"When you and I got married at Prince Li's mansion, no one else came except your elder sister and the old lady."
"Now that they are all here, it is considered complete."
Su Yuheng was touched and moved.
As the red veil fluttered, she saw several familiar figures.
There is my elder sister, my mother, Chen Tingzhou, and Azhou.
Many people came today, including Emperor Showa and the retired emperor.
Everyone that Tianji Pavilion could invite came.
Her closest relatives also came.
Outside the Tianji Pavilion, the sound of firecrackers crackled.
With a loud shout of "Bow to Heaven and Earth", Huo Xingzhi pulled Su Yuheng and bowed to Heaven and Earth in front of everyone.
"Bow to your parents twice," the loud shout reached my eardrums.
Su Yuheng held her breath, and as the veil swayed, she was led by Huo Xingzhi to pay her respects to her parents.
Sitting on the high seats were Zhao, Emperor Showa, and the Emperor Emeritus.
'The couple bowed to each other.'
'Send her to the bridal chamber.'
Two loud shouts were heard, and Su Yuheng was escorted into the bridal chamber by the matchmaker and two maids amidst a burst of noise.
The head of Tianji Pavilion got married and many people came to attend the banquet. The Zhao family, the Qi family, and other countries all sent gifts.
After Su Yuheng was sent to the bridal chamber, the veil was slowly lifted. It was already dark outside.
Outside the Tianji Pavilion, fireworks were set off and the sky was filled with fireworks exploding outside the Tianji Pavilion.
Inside the Tianji Pavilion, Bai Lu, Bai Zhi, Bai Ze, Zhu Que Linglong and others took wedding candies and red envelopes and distributed them to the servants of the Tianji Pavilion.
Everyone looked festive.
The sky gradually darkened, and after the sound of stringed instruments outside the Tianji Pavilion stopped, the fireworks never stopped.
Huo Xingzhi, dressed in a red wedding dress, pushed open the door of the bridal chamber and came in from outside.
Su Yuheng was seen sitting obediently on the edge of the bed.
"Heng'er."
He called out softly, walked over slowly, lifted the veil, and what came into view was a stunningly beautiful face.
"you are so Beautiful."
Su Yuheng stood up, brought out a cup of wine and handed it to Huo Xingzhi.
"Your Highness, let's drink some Heqin wine first."
"I want to watch the fireworks. I heard that the Tianji Pavilion has prepared blue fireworks this time."
Huo Xingzhi smiled and drank the wine.
“You can watch it here too.”
She took Su Yuheng's hand and walked to the window. She pushed the window open and fireworks fell from the sky.
The fireworks shot into the night sky and exploded with a bang.
Huo Xingzhi took out a white jade from his arms and waved it in front of Su Yuheng.
Su Yuheng came back to his senses and saw a few words on the jade pendant.
'We meet every year.'
It was given to him by Su Yuheng.
"In this life, I wish to see you every year."
