By imperial decree, tomorrow: I, in remembrance of the virtues of my late father, wish to repay him with filial piety. Therefore, I have specially selected a virtuous woman of my Great Qing Empire to bestow upon my beloved son, Yinzhi, as his primary consort, to continue the lineage of my grandfather. Lady Irgen Gioro is the daughter of Minister Khorkun; she possesses dignified beauty, outstanding talent, and noble virtue. I know my beloved son, Yinzhi, is intelligent and quick-witted from a young age, erudite, and humble—a source of great pride for me. I believe that the two are well-matched, and will surely respect and love each other, jointly assisting me in governing the empire and bringing blessings to all people. Therefore, I hereby issue this decree, ordering the two to hold a grand wedding ceremony in the Forbidden City on the seventeenth day of the tenth month of this year, so that the whole world may know of it. I wish the two a long and happy marriage, many children, and eternal peace.
So be it.
Yinzhi said, "Your subject receives the imperial decree and expresses his gratitude."
The only one dissatisfied with this marriage was Consort Hui. Not only was her son's marriage, as the eldest prince, intended to bring good luck to the Empress Dowager, but she was also unhappy with her daughter-in-law.
Consort Hui believed that Yinzhi, as the Emperor's eldest son, was of noble status, but apart from her mother, there was almost no one else in the Fujin family who was particularly useful.
But the imperial decree had already been issued, and there was nothing she could do.
For two months, Wanwan was extremely busy. Getting married was just too troublesome, especially since it was the eldest prince. Although time was short, she couldn't rush it. Instead, she wanted everything to be done perfectly.
Wanwan sat on the soft couch and rubbed her forehead. During this period, she had been sleeping much less than usual and had no time to play with the children.
Wanwan did bring Consort Hui into the picture, since she was the birth mother of her son, and she would be extra attentive to her.
Moreover, he also dragged Consort Rong into it, since she also has a son, and in a few years, she should also become his concubine.
Consort Wenxi and Consort Jin didn't ask them for too much help. It wasn't that they were consorts and it was against the rules, but Wanwan was also a little worried that Consort Jin would make things difficult for her.
Therefore, the tasks assigned to the two imperial concubines were relatively simple.
She took a sip of tea to refresh herself. "Listen to the rain and the wind, the First Prince's wedding absolutely cannot go wrong, you know? Although the Ministry of Rites is mainly in charge, the Imperial Household Department, which is under my jurisdiction, absolutely cannot have any problems."
"This is the first time I've organized a wedding for the princes. If I don't do it well, they'll criticize me again."
Tingyu and Tingfeng have been busy following the Imperial Noble Consort. As the Imperial Noble Consort's head maid, they are knowledgeable and experienced. In addition, Wanwan also intends to cultivate the two of them.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I have kept a close eye on everything, big or small. I have also arranged for Tingxue and Tingshuang to go out as well. There will be no problems."
Wanwan nodded. "That's good."
Yanxi Palace
Although Consort Hui was not very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, marriage also had its advantages. After marriage, she could leave the palace to establish her own residence and enter the court.
Consort Hui thought to herself that it was fortunate that her son, Yinzhi, had a capable uncle. Otherwise, once the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the son of the Imperial Noble Consort entered the court, would Yinzhi still have a place to stay?
As for her daughter-in-law, if she was not satisfied, she could just give her a Manchu princess and a secondary consort. Consort Hui felt a little better after thinking about this.
Everyone was extremely busy, even Emperor Kangxi was busier than usual, after all, it was his eldest son's wedding.
Time flies when you're busy, and before you know it, it was the day of Yinzhi's wedding.
