The accompanying personnel are all selected loyal guards who will escort the young lady to her destination and return safely.
Just as they were about to go out, they suddenly heard the hurried footsteps and announcements of the eunuchs, and the whole yard immediately became tense.
Upon hearing the imperial edict, the entire mansion seemed to be enveloped by an irresistible force. Everyone put down their work and put on their clothes as quickly as possible.
At the same time, the Princess of the County was also busy arranging the arrangements for welcoming the Emperor and ordered the servants to make all preparations.
The whole family knelt in unison to welcome the imperial edict.
The content was the announcement that Song Wanwan would be betrothed to Fu Yu, the prince of Anguo.
This is a sudden piece of good news, but it also brings mixed feelings.
The moment she received the imperial edict, Song Wanwan felt mixed emotions, but she still showed the proper respect, bowed her head to express her gratitude, her tone full of gratitude.
At this moment, the Princess of the County, her face pale as paper, said: "Eunuch Chang, the Emperor has granted the marriage, and it is reasonable to ask for the opinions of both families first..."
His voice trembled slightly, unable to conceal his inner shock and confusion.
"In reply to your princess, it was actually the Crown Prince who took the initiative to request the Emperor to grant the marriage. He truly loves your daughter. As for the Prince, the Emperor also sent someone to ask for his opinion on this matter. The Prince was very pleased and gave a positive answer, believing that this was an excellent match. Therefore, the Emperor ordered that this marriage be fulfilled."
Eunuch Chang seemed unaware of the princess's uneasiness. He still had his usual smile on his face and spoke in a calm and polite manner.
Feeling the maid beside her gently supporting her, the princess managed to stand steady with the help of the maid, but the turmoil in her heart was far from calm.
This marriage should have belonged to her precious daughter Song Yueyue!
But now it has fallen into the hands of a concubine's daughter who was originally ignored and of low status!
How could she accept this sudden change?
The anger in my heart surged like a tide, but I had to maintain a calm attitude on the surface.
At this moment, she deeply understood what it meant to be a trick of fate.
Seeing the princess losing her composure, Song Wanwan sighed inwardly and had to ask Aunt Mei Rui beside her to take out a heavy purse from her sleeve and hand it to Eunuch Chang.
This purse is filled with silver, specially prepared by the princess for emergency use.
After taking the purse, Eunuch Chang smiled and comforted them with a few words of blessing, then turned and left.
The princess tried her best to control her inner pain and disappointment, but ultimately failed.
There seemed to be too many complex emotions hidden in her eyes, which could be seen through at a glance.
Although there was no need to say anything more at this moment, she still felt a tightness in her chest and didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only turn around silently and walk towards her bedroom without looking back.
At this time, the maid quietly walked into the room and reported that the prince of Anguo Mansion was waiting outside the palace and wanted to invite the second young lady to go to Guanghua Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings and safety.
After hearing this, Li slowly walked out from behind the screen.
She said calmly, "Then go ahead. Go ahead. Actually, I sent a message to Fu Yu yesterday, hoping he would send someone to protect you in case of any unexpected situation. I didn't expect him to come here first."
The moment this information reached her ears, Song Wanwan felt her face burning as if there was a flame burning.
With a blushing face, she hurriedly thanked Li and immediately got on the carriage waiting on the side.
So, under the first rays of sunlight in the early morning, two beautifully decorated carriages slowly drove out of the palace gate and headed towards their distant destination - Guanghua Temple.
When the two arrived, they saw that the entire temple had been arranged in advance. Tourists and pilgrims were arranged to worship Buddha and chant scriptures in other places to ensure that the worship process could proceed smoothly without being disturbed.
Just as the two were about to burn incense, a secret guard suddenly stepped forward and respectfully reported, "Your Majesty, please allow me to report something. We just spotted Concubine Rong's younger brother, Qi Wencai, outside the temple. His behavior was extremely strange and suspicious. Fortunately, we discovered him in time, and he was driven away by us."
“Well done.”
After listening to this, Fu Yu nodded, and his eyes became deeper and colder.
He couldn't help but think of his aunt who was merciless to him and even tried to harm him several times.
It is precisely because of these reasons that I have become more determined in an idea in my mind.
Finally, after completing all the worship ceremonies, Fu Yu led Song Wanwan to a quiet place under a big locust tree in the temple and sat down.
At this time, the birds are singing all around and the air is fresh and pleasant. It is really a rare and good opportunity.
"Sister Wanwan," Fu Yu suddenly said, "I will go to your house soon to discuss the wedding date."
For Fu Yu, only by marrying this gentle and lovely woman as soon as possible can he feel completely at ease and no longer have to worry about anyone doing harm to his beloved.
Hearing this, Song Wanwan lowered her head shyly, two blushes appeared on her face, and she looked as beautiful as a blooming flower.
"Brother Jin, you decide."
Her voice was small but extremely gentle and firm.
These words seemed to have touched a certain string, causing Fu Yu's heart to beat faster and even his cheeks to become hot.
