Busy as they went, the day of Little Treasure's wedding soon arrived.
On that day, Xiao Zhenbao bid farewell to her parents and stepped into the bridal sedan chair amidst their reluctant gazes.
The imperial court sent the Fifth Prince Yinqi to escort his sister to her wedding, and Hongfang and Hongwei also went to see her off.
In addition to the dowry prepared by the Imperial Household Department, He Zhuo Yinzhi also prepared an extra dowry for Xiao Zhenbao, and Consort Hui from the palace also sent eight dowry items.
In addition, He Zhuo prepared more than a dozen carts of grain as dowry for the trip, which could be described as a magnificent bridal procession.
After Xiao Zhenbao left the mansion, the Hezhuo couple rode their horses behind her until they could no longer accompany her.
When they returned, the couple didn't ride horses. They huddled together in the carriage, the atmosphere quite silent. After a while, He Zhuo felt a dampness on his neck and realized that this upright and brave man could also shed tears.
Indeed, of all his children, Yinzhi's favorite was his eldest daughter, Xiao Zhenbao.
He Zhuo wiped away Yin Zhi's tears and comforted him, "Don't worry, our daughter is the best. She will definitely live a good life. Besides, what about those servants? Didn't you arrange for quite a few guards to go with them?"
"I'm alright!"
Yinzhi choked up a little, "It's just that I was thinking about how she was just a little pink dumpling back then, so tiny that I could hold her in my arms, and now she's about to get married. It makes me sad."
He Zhuo also felt a little sad; the first child is always a little different.
"I know that among the children, Your Highness dotes on the eldest princess the most. But Your Highness need not worry. The eldest princess is quite skilled in riding, archery and martial arts. In addition, she inherited her looks from her mother and Your Highness. She is a beauty in the making. Your Highness will treat her well."
"I have also arranged two female physicians for her, as well as two carts of medicinal herbs. They will inform us immediately if anything happens."
He got excited when this was mentioned: "If he dares to treat my little treasure badly, I'll tear him apart. My precious darling has married him."
When Yinzhi spoke of it, his face was full of murderous intent. Hezhuo had no doubt what Yinzhi could do if his son-in-law treated Xiaozhenbao badly.
Perhaps the father-in-law and son-in-law are just not compatible!
“Of course. Little Treasure has her grandfather and her brothers like Hongyu. The Prince Consort wouldn’t dare to treat Little Treasure badly. Besides, they chose Little Treasure themselves. If they treat her badly, would we let them off the hook?”
Seeing how reluctant Yinzhi was to part with her, Hezhuo felt a surge of childlike sadness, which instantly dispelled his sorrow at the separation. He then busied himself comforting his father, who couldn't bear to be apart from his daughter.
After all, Xiao Zhenbao was the first child, and he could be said to have been raised by Yin Zhi from a young age. He personally took care of everything from feeding her and changing her diapers to bathing her. It can be said that Yin Zhi raised her with great care and attention.
When they were little, the way the father and daughter were so affectionate was even unbearable for He Zhuo. If you were to ask who Yin Zhi's favorite child was among all his children, without a doubt, it would be his little treasure.
Since Xiao Zhenbao got married, the princes in the mansion have been living in a state of great hardship. Yinzhi firmly believed that his daughter's family was strong enough to support her, so he became even stricter with his sons.
In fact, Yinzhi had high expectations for his children. Especially after discovering that his legitimate children were all intelligent and physically strong, he trained them like his own soldiers, without any regard for their well-being.
He Zhuo knew that the children were just training with their father, which was also beneficial, so he never interfered. After all, this was still very early on. They had all been nourished by spiritual energy, and each of them could reach the level of Acquired to Innate in terms of martial arts strength.
