After discussing with the Darhan King, Hongli set the wedding date for May.
Since her engagement, Rong Yu wished she could stay young forever so she could stay with her mother for a few more years. However, no one can stop time, and she eventually grew up and had to get married.
Her parents had arranged everything, so she didn't have to worry about anything and just had to do as they said.
The sixth day of the fifth lunar month is the auspicious day for the marriage of Princess Guren Hejing and Prince Lejur of Mongolia!
Dressed in auspicious attire, Prince Consort Lejur entered the palace to greet the princess. He then accompanied the princess to Cining Palace and Ningshou Palace, where they paid their respects to the Empress Dowager and the various imperial concubines, and then to the Emperor, Empress, and Imperial Noble Consort.
After the ceremony, Hongli hosted a banquet at Baohe Hall. Before noon, Rongyu tearfully bid farewell to her parents, boarded the phoenix carriage, and, accompanied by a group of wives and noblewomen, left the palace for the princess's residence.
Witnessing her daughter and her husband leave the palace, Yu Shan felt both gratified and reluctant. Her son and daughter had both gotten married and started their own families. They had grown up and left the protection of their parents. From now on, they would have to live their own lives. Whether it was bitter or sweet, Yu Shan could no longer care. She could only leave it to the fate of her children.
Previous princesses all went to live in Mongolia after their marriages; Rong Yu is the first to remain in the capital, and she is the only princess of the first rank (Gulun) to have a residence in the capital!
The princess's residence has a main gate with five rooms, an outer gate with three rooms, a main hall with seven rooms, a wing building with nine rooms each, a rear hall with five rooms, a rear bedroom with seven rooms, and a rear building with seven rooms. It is a grand building with a full range of furniture, antiques, and ornaments, all of which are of the highest quality.
A banquet was still being held in the mansion. Everyone in the mansion was very busy all day. Lejuer was busy socializing outside, while Rongyu stayed in the bridal chamber.
The ceremonial robes were too heavy, so the palace servants changed the princess into a silver-red embroidered peony casual dress. They removed her crown and combed her hair into two buns. Only then did Rong Yu feel much more relaxed. The previous outfit had truly made it hard to breathe.
After nightfall, Lejur came to the bedchamber and drank wine with the princess, then ordered them to go out and collect their reward.
The servants bowed and took their leave, closing the door behind them.
Rong Yu had told herself long ago that this was something she couldn't avoid, and she had to learn to accept it. But as she watched the tall figure of Lejuer walk step by step towards the wedding tent, she unconsciously began to feel nervous, inexplicably terrified of what was about to happen.
