Emperor Tianwu gave the order, and the fifth prince Xuan Tianyan excitedly accepted it. After so many years, his father was finally willing to forgive him; after so many years, he could finally let go of that person.
Under the veil, Fendai was also smiling with relief. She was happy for Xuan Tianyan's appointment by Emperor Tianwu, but she no longer had the same thoughts as before. She only hoped that Xuan Tianyan could help the Sixth Prince govern the world and ensure the stability and well-being of the people of Dashun for the next few decades, and also comfort her second sister so that she could follow the Ninth Prince without worry and live the life she really wanted.
The wedding was over, the newlyweds were sent to the bridal chamber, and the wedding banquet in the outer courtyard was very lively. Xuan Tianyan was entertaining guests outside, while Feng Yuheng went to the bridal chamber to chat with Fendai and helped the servants to put on the girl's makeup.
She was an experienced person and the elder sister of the bride, so there were some things that only she could say to this girl. So Feng Yuheng told her about the things that happened between men and women after marriage, which made her blush.
But no matter how embarrassed she was, Fen Dai still listened very carefully and wrote down everything. Although she was nervous and uneasy, she was also full of anticipation for the wedding night.
Feng Yuheng told her: "You are about to turn sixteen, which is not the best age to have a child. If possible, I hope you can consider having a child after you turn eighteen, which will be good for your body. But..." She sighed, "I'm afraid men can't wait. A happy marriage and early childbirth are usually linked together. I'm afraid that everyone is looking forward to you giving birth to children for the Li Palace as soon as possible, but no one has ever considered that premature childbirth is very harmful to a woman's body. In fact, eighteen is still too early, but if you are asked to have another child after twenty, I'm afraid you will become an outlier in the Dashun Dynasty, and no one will understand."
Fendai didn't understand either. She said, "Don't women usually get married when they reach the age of 15 and then have children? Will it cause any harm to the body? Isn't this how everyone goes through life?"
"So everyone ages very easily." She told Fendai, "If a woman marries and has children too early, not only will she age quickly, but the chances of her children getting sick are also very high. So you see, Baicaotang always has the most patients with gynecological problems, and we have heard of many cases of difficult births and premature deaths. But people don't know why this is the case. Let me tell you, it's because you are in the stage of growing up, and your growth and development are not yet complete. Having a child at this time is like suddenly interrupting something that was not completed, forcing your own body to stop growing and then have to give birth to another life. This is not only extremely risky, but it is also difficult to provide the best growth environment and nutrition for the fetus in the womb."
Fen Dai didn't quite understand yet, but she knew that whatever her second sister said was right, so she decided to firmly implement the rule of having children after the age of 18. She said to Feng Yuheng, "Don't worry, second sister, I will definitely have children after the age of 18. Xuan Tianyan, you don't have to worry, he listens to me."
Feng Yuheng laughed, "It's a good thing, but I still want to remind you to change your temper. No matter what happens in the future, the two of you must discuss it together. Also, behind closed doors, you are husband and wife, and he will spoil you no matter how willful you are. But outside the room, he is a prince, a prince, and now he has been promised by his father to assist the country, so you have to give him enough face. When encountering major events, you still have to listen to him, understand?"
Fendai nodded, "Second sister, I've remembered everything. Don't worry! I will definitely listen to him when I'm outside. The emperor has given him such an important task, I can't let him be distracted by the family. As long as he concentrates on assisting the country in the future, I will manage Prince Li's Mansion well." When she said this, she couldn't help laughing, "When I was at home before, I always wanted to fight for a legitimate daughter, and even thought that if one day I could manage the household expenses, how glorious it would be! Unfortunately, I didn't manage the Feng Mansion, but now there is a prince's mansion given to me to manage. Do you think this counts as a wish come true?" She smiled brightly, like a child.
Feng Yuheng sighed, isn't he really just a child! Sixteen years old! The age to go to junior high school.
"One more thing." Feng Yuheng felt that she was being nagging like an old woman. "You can't call him the emperor all the time. From now on, you have to call him father like me. You are the daughter-in-law of the royal family. Tomorrow morning you have to go to the palace to kneel down and serve tea to father and mother. You have to accept their teachings. You are the principal wife, and your name must be included in the Xuan family tree. From now on, you are Xuan Feng."
Fen Dai was nervous and excited. She grabbed Feng Yuheng's hand and asked in disbelief, "Really? I have to call the emperor father too? Oh my God! I'm so nervous, what should I do? Second sister, can you go with me?"
Feng Yuheng laughed at her: "You were quite bold before, weren't you? What's wrong now? Don't worry, there's nothing to be afraid of. Father and mother are both very kind people. Since they didn't stop the Fifth Prince from marrying you, it means they agree and approve of this marriage. Also, you can't let your sister accompany you for everything in the future. The person you really have to rely on is the Fifth Prince."
Fendai stuck out her tongue, "I know! But second sister, when we meet next time, do you think I should call His Highness the Ninth Prince brother-in-law, or wait for him to call me sister-in-law?"
Feng Yuheng held her forehead with her hand. This was really a headache. "Fifth Prince, an old cow is interested in young grass. How could I have overlooked this point before you got married? Otherwise... Second Sister will take you back!"
The two sisters laughed together, and both thought it would be funny to address each other in the future. After talking and laughing for a while, Feng Yuheng pulled her aside and said, "Besides going to the palace to serve tea to your father and mother tomorrow, you still have three days to go back home! Just go back to the Princess's Mansion, which will be your mother's home from now on. I'll wait for you at home."
Fen Dai nodded vigorously. She was so happy. She couldn't even enter the Princess Mansion before, but now it was her mother's home. She could go back and live there often in the future. It was great. "If Xuan Tianyan bullies me, I will go back to the Princess Mansion." After saying that, her expression suddenly dimmed. She looked at Feng Yuheng for a long time, and finally asked what was in her heart: "Second sister, do you have any plans to leave Kyoto? I heard Xuan Tianyan say that the Ninth Prince doesn't want the throne, so now the Sixth Prince is the regent. Originally, the emperor... No, father, originally father wanted to pass the throne to the Ninth Prince."
Feng Yuheng smiled and did not express her opinion on the throne. She just told Fen Dai: "I want to leave this place of trouble. I wanted to leave a long time ago, but His Highness the Ninth Prince said that he is the son of the Xuan family and has an unshakable responsibility for this country. Therefore, he can't just leave without caring about anything. He has to make the world peaceful and the people feel at ease. Only after doing these things can we leave with peace of mind."
"Where are you going then? Will we see each other again after you leave?" Her face was filled with reluctance. It was not easy for the children of the Feng family to be together again. It was not easy for her to have her second sister hold her hand and speak to her earnestly. It was not easy for her to have everything she wanted. Life was developing in the best direction. But at this moment, her second sister said she wanted to leave... Feng Fendai lowered her head, "Sister, I can't bear to leave you."
"Silly child, we will meet again. No matter where I go, you are my sisters, and I will remember you in my heart. Isn't the Princess's Mansion still there? I have reserved a yard for you and Xiangrong in the mansion. You must remember to go home often. The flowers and plants in that yard are left to you to take care of. Don't let the mansion become desolate. I like it to be lively and bustling."
Fendai nodded with tears in her eyes, "Don't worry, Second Sister, I'm in the capital and will come here often. But after you leave, Third Sister will probably have to go back to Ji'an County, and I will be left alone in this huge capital..."
"Let your third sister buy you a house in Ji'an County and build a branch of Prince Li's Palace! When you have some free time, you can live there and relax." Although he said so, he immediately rejected the idea: "Fifth brother is assisting the country, I don't think he has much time."
The two of them talked about sentimental topics, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy. After a while, Feng Yuheng spoke slowly and softly, "Separation is always inevitable, but as long as our hearts are together, we will never be apart."
The wedding banquet lasted until midnight. Not surprisingly, Xuan Tianyan was drunk. When the young men who were planning to have a wedding night prank saw how drunk he was, they thought there was probably nothing they could do and that the prank would not take place, so they returned home with regret.
Little did they know that the Fifth Prince, who appeared drunk on the surface, immediately became energetic as soon as he entered the bridal chamber, as if he had not drunk anything all day. Apart from the smell of alcohol on his body, he did not look drunk at all.
Fendai sat on the wedding bed, with the scarf still covering her head. She could smell the alcohol through the scarf and couldn't help but frown. She habitually wanted to ask why she was so drunk. But she immediately remembered what Feng Yuheng had said to her, and remembered that she was married and no longer a young girl. She had to change her willfulness and temper. This man was already her husband.
So, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and changed them to: "There is tea in the enamel teapot on the table, drink some first. Second sister also left some sobering medicine, which is also on the table. There is clear water in the white jade teapot, you should take the medicine with clear water, and never drink tea. Alcohol is very harmful to the body, it is best to take a few bites of snacks after taking the medicine to relieve the symptoms."
After she finished speaking, she received no response. She listened carefully, but did not hear any sound of teapots or cups. She only heard light footsteps coming towards her. The steps were steady and not messy, which was totally unlike the behavior of a drunk person.
Just as she was wondering, a warm hand gently touched her cheek through the veil, and a familiar voice rang out, chuckling and saying, "There is a hangover medicine. How come those girls were so drunk last night?"
After saying that, Fendai felt her eyes light up, as the wedding veil was lifted. She saw Xuan Tianyan in a bright red wedding gown, smiling so handsomely that it was dazzling. Only then did she realize that which of the sons of the Xuan family was not a child of destiny? Which one did not inherit the good looks of Emperor Tianwu! The best husband was right in front of her, and she had been wandering around for years, only looking elsewhere.
"What are you thinking about?" He pressed forward and threw the bride onto the bed.
Fendai only felt the pain in her waist from the peanuts and longans below, but she didn't know that this little pain was nothing! Soon, huge waves hit her frequently, and she screamed in pain: "I regret it, why did I get married!"
