Among the sisters, Feng Yuheng was the first to get married, but because she was marrying Xuan Tianming, although there were tears and laughter before the wedding, it was not as sad as Xuan Tiange's wedding today.
Even Bai Furong came back specially from Ji'an County. Bai Ze sent a letter via flying eagle to have the guards there send her back. She came back in the middle of the night and entered the capital overnight. The princess got married the next day.
The team that followed Fan Tianli to Beijing formed a wedding procession. He himself was also dressed in a red robe. The red robe of the groom was added with many elements from the ancient Shu, which looked very exotic. To the south of the ancient Shu, he stood outside the South City Gate waiting for the bride's wedding sedan chair. This was the rule of Dashun. When a princess married far away, the prince consort could not come to the mansion to pick her up. The princess had to go out in a sedan chair herself, and then when she was about to see the groom, her brother would carry her out of the wedding sedan chair, without touching the ground with her feet, and carry her all the way to the groom, who would then take her over. The feet could not touch the ground during the whole process, until she got on the groom's sedan chair, and the ceremony was considered complete.
Because she was marrying far away, the formal wedding ceremony had to be held at the groom's place, so the process of the princess's marriage became the most grand ceremony that Dashun could give her.
On this day, Emperor Tianwu also left the palace and stood side by side with Prince Wenxuan Xuanmou, personally seeing his most beloved niece off to the house.
Emperor Tianwu's nose was always sour, not just him, everyone was in a bad mood. Because the capital had just been pacified, no one dared to go far away at this time, so Xuan Tiange married to Gushu on her own, and the only one who accompanied her was the husband she chose.
Xuan Tiange herself specified that her ninth brother Xuan Tianming should carry her out of the city, so Xuan Tianming was not standing with Feng Yuheng at the moment, but was walking with the wedding sedan. Feng Yuheng, Feng Tianyu, Bai Furong, and Xiangrong were walking together, and she felt very uncomfortable. She said, "When I got married, you all traveled a long way to the desert to congratulate me. But now it's Tiange's turn to get married, and we can't even send her out of the city gate. When I think of this, I always feel uncomfortable."
Feng Tianyu also said: "Yes! We were so close in the past. Even though she was a princess, she never acted like a princess to us. But fortunately, we can still follow her all the way to the South City Gate, but Xifeng is in Ji'an County and can't come back."
Bai Furong also took over the conversation and said, "I left the same night after receiving Bai Ze's letter. I went to look for Xifeng, but she was not in the county. She said she went hunting in the mountains with Brother Ren. I left a letter for her, but I thought it would be too late to rush here after she came back from hunting. It's a pity that we sisters didn't get together in the end."
Xiang Rong said, "It's not like we won't see each other anymore, right? Didn't you say you can come back to visit me? And we can also go to the desert in the future!"
Feng Yuheng smiled, "Silly sister, you are told that you can come back every year to visit your parents, and you can stay as long as you want, but how can it be so easy to implement? Tian Ge will be the queen of Ancient Shu after she marries there. No matter how small Ancient Shu is, it is still a country. As the queen of a country, how can you just leave? If that were the case, wouldn't Ancient Shu be in chaos? But we can go there to visit in the future, and Xuan Tianming and I have prepared a generous gift for her in the desert."
As they were talking, the wedding procession had already reached the south city gate, and the people of Beijing spontaneously laid flowers on both sides of the street. These flowers were picked by the people from the mountains outside the city, and they began to lay them on the street since midnight yesterday. Not only were they laid on both sides, but there were also many petals in the middle, which looked very beautiful.
But the people's emotions were the same as the royal family's, not very high, no one was willing to let the princess marry far away, especially when the common people heard that it was because the ancient Shu king saved Emperor Tianwu that Tian Ge wanted to marry, they felt even more distressed for their princess. Dashun had only one princess, and if she got married, she would be gone, and when they thought of this, many women wiped away their tears.
However, although there were no smiling faces, people were still sending their blessings, because some people said: "The ancient Shu king doesn't look bad. He has been accompanying Princess Wuyang for more than a month. We have seen him on the street many times. The king is young and handsome, and he is a good match for the princess."
"Yes, yes! I also saw him holding an umbrella for the princess, and once he lifted the hem of her skirt. He's a good man."
After saying this, the people who had also met the two of them on the street also interrupted and talked about it, saying that Fan Tianli was really good to Xuan Tiange.
Feng Yuheng, Feng Tianyu and Xiangrong who were also in the capital naturally knew about these things, but Bai Furong didn't know. She just felt relieved after hearing what the people said. Then she thought about Tiange's character, and he would not suffer any loss if he came to Gushu. What's more, there was Yao Shu in the desert, and there was also the army of Dashun, and that army was under the command of Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng. With such a force, if the king of Gushu was not stupid, he would not bully Tiange.
The team stopped, and the wedding sedan landed. Xuan Tianming got off his horse and walked to the front of the sedan. He gently lifted the curtain and said in a deep voice: "Tian Ge, Brother Jiu will carry you to get married."
The woman inside didn't move, but her shoulders kept hunching, and she was obviously sobbing.
Xuan Tianming was also upset. He was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. On the surface, he seemed to care nothing and had a sinister and evil look. However, he felt pain for his only sister. This was the only girl in the Xuan family. She was sensible and smart. She was close to them. From Emperor Tianwu to the princes, which one of them didn't raise Xuan Tiange in their hands? Even the Eighth Brother had never harmed this sister.
He stood in front of the sedan chair, without urging her, but just quietly looked at his sister. After a while, he suddenly smiled. He said, "You are already a grown-up girl, and you are still crying. Don't worry, Gu Shu is not far away. It's in the desert. Brother Jiu still conquered several of their cities. The capital of Gu Shu is far from the center of Dashun, but it is very close to the cities guarded by Yao Shu. If you miss home, go there. Yao Shu is Ah Heng's cousin, so we are relatives. Come on! Brother Jiu will carry you out of the city. Ah Heng and I have prepared a big gift for you there to ensure that you will live a safe and worry-free life in Gu Shu."
Xuan Tiange didn't know what this so-called great gift was, but she thought that the things her ninth brother and sister-in-law could give her would definitely not be ordinary things.
She lay on Xuan Tianming's back, tears streaming down his neck. She always wanted to look back at those familiar people, her father, mother, uncle, Ah Heng and her sisters, the prosperity of the capital, and even the servants in Prince Wenxuan's mansion. She missed them very much.
But the matchmaker said, "Princess, you can't look back! It's taboo to look back on a wedding day, let alone lift the wedding veil. You have to look forward, because good days are ahead!"
She nodded, remembering this sentence seriously. Good days are ahead! The arm around Xuan Tianming's neck tightened a little more, and she said to Xuan Tianming: "Nineth brother, if Fan Tianli bullies me, you must take charge for me."
"Don't worry." Xuan Tianming smiled and told her, "With the great gift from your Ninth Brother and Sister-in-law, even if Fan Tianli has ten heads, he won't dare to bully you."
Finally, the bride left the city. Because it rained last night, the road outside was a bit muddy. Fan Tianli didn't wait for Xuan Tianming to come over here, but stepped on the muddy ground and strode forward. Then he stretched out his hand and held his bride firmly in his arms.
The bride blushed under the veil, but she felt that this embrace was unusually solid and warm. She stretched out her hand towards Xuan Tianming, and only after she held the hand that Xuan Tianming handed over did she say, "Nineth Brother, go back and tell my eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, and seventh brother that I will always think of them."
Xuan Tianming said: "Don't worry, we have been thinking about you. Your elder brother has prepared a generous dowry for you, which is more than the total amount given by Wenxuan Palace and the palace."
Xuan Tiange laughed immediately, "My eldest brother is the richest and he always gave me good things. It's a pity that my little nephews haven't grown up yet. I don't know if they will recognize me as their aunt when they see me in the future." As she spoke, she wanted to cry again.
Fan Tianli quickly took over the conversation: "Didn't we agree to come back every year? Don't worry, I'll keep my word. From now on, every moonlit night, we'll come back to Dashun, okay?"
Xuan Tiange nodded vigorously, and the veil was almost shaken off by her, which frightened the matchmaker so much that she quickly covered her with it again.
Fan Tianli looked at Xuan Tianming and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Your Highness the Ninth Prince, I will definitely protect Her Highness the Princess and will never let her suffer any grievances." After saying that, he smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, with Tiange's temper, it's good enough that she doesn't bully me." He has learned a lesson these days. This princess of Dashun is really unruly and willful! Moreover, she has someone to rely on. With such a big motherland and so many powerful brothers, let alone the army of the Ninth Prince, the trade of the First Prince alone is enough to choke him. There are too many industrial chains in the ancient Shu territory that were developed by the First Prince of Dashun. Just based on their brother-sister relationship, as long as Xuan Tiange says a word, the First Prince can make his ancient Shu's economic and trade industry tremble.
Xuan Tianming was actually relieved. He trusted his own eyes and knew that Fan Tianli was a good person. Of course, he believed more in Dashun's strength. With Dashun's blessing, Gu Shu would not dare to let down the future queen.
Finally, Fan Tianli carried Xuan Tiange onto the wedding sedan chair, and on behalf of Xuan Tiange, he paid great respects to Emperor Tianwu and King Wenxuan who had escorted them out of the city. Then Dashun lit the wedding bamboos, and amid the sound of such firecrackers, the wedding procession set off, slowly moving southward.
Everyone watched the team move forward until they could no longer see any trace of them, and then they turned back to the city.
Feng Tianyu was curious about what the gift was, and Feng Yuheng told her lightly: "I am one of the fifty sharpshooters and fifty Tianji under the command of the Shenji Camp."
She said it lightly, but everyone who heard it gasped.
Fifty sharp shots, fifty secrets!
That was the most mysterious and terrifying power of Dashun. With the legendary heavenly thunder, he became Xuan Tiange's death warrior, entered ancient Shu with her, and protected her throughout her life.
What does this mean? It means that if there ever comes a day when Gu Shu betrays, these 100 people can wipe out the entire Gu Shu!
The Ninth Prince and Princess Yu are truly extremely generous!
