Come to the main hall.
Princess Huining and her husband sat in the main seats.
There is a futon in front of me.
Hua Xiangling knelt down.
"Father, I am very sad to see my daughter getting married today.
I am grateful for your many years of nurturing and care, father, and I will always remember it in my heart.
From now on, although I cannot always be with you, I will abide by the rules of being a wife, respect my parents-in-law, support my husband and educate my children, and live up to your teachings.
I hope you take good care of yourself and don't worry about your daughter."
Hua Xiangling bowed deeply.
Only at this moment did she truly feel that she was really going to leave the father who loved her the most in the world.
A feeling of bitterness involuntarily came over her heart, and she, who never cried easily, could no longer control herself.
The soft sobs reached the ears of Princess Huining and her husband.
Princess Huining also wiped her eyes gently with a handkerchief.
She had raised her daughter for twenty-three years, and after today she would belong to someone else's family. She was reluctant to let her go.
"Mom, I don't want to get married. I can't bear to leave you." Hua Xiangling suddenly stood up and was about to pull off the veil on her head. Fortunately, her brother was quick to stop her.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Mother has been waiting for this day for a long time, so you better get into the sedan chair obediently. Live a good life with your son-in-law and give me a big fat grandson as soon as possible. When you have a son, you will understand how I feel about raising you for so many years." Princess Huining put away her sadness and taught him a lesson.
"Okay, Xiangling just can't bear to leave us. She is a sensible and good child." Prince Consort Hua patted the eldest princess' hand to comfort her.
"Du'er, carry your sister out quickly, don't keep the bride-picking party waiting too long."
At this moment, Miao Biaowen came in without regard for etiquette.
He knelt in front of the eldest princess and her husband, and knelt in a row with Hua Xiangling.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please rest assured that I will treat Xiangling well. As soon as I have time, I will bring her back to her parents' home to enjoy her company."
"Okay, remember what you said today." Prince Hua Ma Xian was satisfied.
Hua Du once again carried his sister on his back and walked out.
Miao Biaowen was guarding beside him.
The wedding procession set off.
Princess Huining let out a long breath.
"Finally, she is married off. I no longer have to sigh about her marriage all day long."
"This marriage is destined by heaven. It would not happen if the time is not right. But once the destiny comes, it cannot be stopped." Prince Consort Hua also sighed.
This is his eldest daughter, and he loves her very much, but the child has suffered a lot.
I hope she will be safe and sound in the future.
Yu Yuanzheng followed the wedding procession to the Yu Mansion.
After three kneelings and nine kowtows, she was escorted to the bridal chamber.
Yu Yuanzheng stayed with Hua Xiangling most of the day, and only came out when the groom entered the bridal chamber.
She also let out a long breath.
Finally got married.
The evil she had done was finally rectified.
The third day after Hua Xiangling's marriage was the fifth day of August.
The day for the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven set by the emperor is approaching.
Mount Yuntai is one hundred and twenty miles away from the capital.
The emperor, accompanied by his civil and military ministers and relatives, walked slowly and set out early in the morning.
At Prince Rong's Mansion, the princess was left at home to look after the children, while the other three were away.
And Yu Yuanzheng came as the Marquis of Zhenguo.
The weather in early August doesn't have much of an autumn feel to it.
They gathered at the city gate at the beginning of the morning.
Because of the victory, the empire would be peaceful for many years to come, so the emperor was so happy that he took the concubines above the rank of imperial concubine with him.
The queen also brought her two children with her.
The emperor's children are arranged according to their birth date, regardless of gender. The first few princes of the seventh prince are all sisters, and they are all married.
The emperor was also lucky. His first three children were princes, and the next three children were all daughters.
When the queen gave birth to a son and a daughter.
Behind the Eighth Princess there was another prince and princess, but their status was not high.
Therefore, the eldest prince and his wife, the third prince and his wife, and the seventh prince and his sister also went to Yuntai Mountain together this time.
But when Princess Lingxuan saw Yu Yuanzheng wearing men's clothes and riding a horse, she regretted it very much.
Why don't you tell her?
She can ride a horse, too.
"You better stay still. The sun will be higher soon. Besides, you will be getting married after the New Year, so don't get yourself tanned." Princess Jing reprimanded her daughter unhappily when she saw her daughter's eager look.
Her daughter is not young anymore. If it were possible to hold two weddings in the same year, she would have been eager to marry her daughter off this year.
Since the engagement with the Prime Minister's family was established, the date had been set. The wedding would be held after the palace examination. However, since the eldest son of the Prime Minister was to marry the Ninth Princess of Southern Shu, the marriage had to be postponed for his daughter.
"Princess Ji. But I really want to ride a horse."
"No." Princess Jing was very strong.
Seeing her father's dark face, Princess Lingxuan had no choice but to give up.
"Concubine Li, how could you bear to leave your brother alone in the palace?" Princess Lingxuan deliberately brought up the thing that Concubine Li was most worried about in order to anger her.
"I can't bear to leave, and I can't take you with me. You can't run around casually this time. You must not leave Concubine Li's side. Remember?"
"You've said it three times. I've made note of it." This request was not only made by Concubine Li, but also by my father and my eldest brother twice.
No matter how dumb she was, she knew that something might happen during the Emperor's ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven.
A few years ago, during the sacrifice to heaven, the assassination of the emperor by the Canglan assassin occurred. Now that Wei has won the battle, would Canglan dare to send assassins again?
She couldn't figure it out.
But just be obedient.
"Concubine Li, I want to remind Sister-in-law Yuanzheng. How about letting her stay with us?" Princess Lingxuan was afraid that Yu Yuanzheng would be in danger.
"She has Ziqi to protect her, so you don't need to worry about her."
"But Brother Ziqi has important things to do, how can he care about her?"
"Didn't you see that she brought six guards with her?" Princess Jing felt a little headache.
How could the guards of Prince Jing's Mansion compare to those of Prince Rong's Mansion? What kind of intention did his daughter have in committing adultery?
Moreover, the Marquis of Zhenguo has an important mission, which Prince Jing told her privately.
But my daughter must not know this.
The emperor's sacrifice to heaven this time is not just a simple sacrifice to heaven.
The team moved forward neither fast nor slow.
We didn’t reach the top of Yuntaishan until dark.
This mountain is the highest mountain within a radius of 150 miles of the capital.
The most distinctive feature is that there is a gentle slope on one side and a cliff on the other side, with a large lake below the cliff.
The top of the mountain is a flat open area.
The mountains are lush and green. It is not yet late autumn when the leaves fall, and the mountains are full of wild animals.
When going up the mountain, you can also see groups of monkeys roaming around.
From time to time, you can see squirrels running around and jumping on the branches.
Yu Yuanzheng was very excited when seeing this.
Being talented is the greatest self-worth.
This mountain was designated by the royal family as an important place for offering sacrifices to heaven, and a palace was built on the top of the mountain.
There is a dedicated person to manage it.
As soon as the emperor arrived, the officials of the Ministry of Rites became busy.
Assign areas and guide each prefecture in resettlement.
Everything was arranged at the end of the evening (9pm).
The royal family was arranged to live in the courtyard closest to the emperor.
Yu Yuanzheng had just finished bathing and washing up when Shangguan Ziqi came back from outside.
"Madam, why haven't you slept yet?" He saw Yu Yuanzheng still sitting at the table.
"I washed my hair. Let it dry a little." Just as she finished speaking, the new maid, Zhi, came in from the outer room with a dry towel, ready to wipe Yu Yuanzheng's hair.
I rode a horse all the way today. There were a lot of people around. When the horse ran, it was covered with dust. My hair is so dirty that I can't bear it if I don't wash it.
"Meet the prince."
"Well, give it to me, and you play." Shangguan Ziqi took the towel from Yu Zhi and wiped Yu Yuanzheng's hair himself.
"Madam, have a good rest tonight. The sacrifice will not begin for another two days. During these two days, you can take your maid and guards to walk around nearby, but don't go far. I will take you to a place in the evening."
