May 8th is an auspicious day for all things.
That day, the entire city of Longxiao was adorned with red lanterns, creating a joyous atmosphere.
Today is a joyous day for the eldest son of Prime Minister Lu to marry the princess.
Early in the morning, Yuening was helped up by the nanny sent by Empress Dowager Wu to do her hair and makeup. After a few days of rest, Yuening felt better, but she still felt weak.
I had only been sitting for a short while when I started to feel back pain and a terrible headache.
If it weren't for the fact that today was her wedding day and it wasn't a good day to lose her temper, Yuening would have already wanted to have the maids and servants who helped her change clothes and do her makeup dragged away and beaten up, making her so tired.
Seeing the princess's angry face, the maids dared not apply any more complicated makeup. They just did a rough job to make it look presentable, since the prince consort wouldn't dare to find fault with the princess anyway.
"Princess, the prince consort has already departed from the Prime Minister's residence," a maidservant reported as she entered.
"I understand." Yuening leaned against the chaise lounge, her eyes closed, as her maid massaged her temples.
Since Lu Junyuan was to marry a princess, after the marriage, he would live with the princess in the princess's residence, which would save the bride from the wedding ceremony.
According to custom, after the prince consort arrives at the princess's residence, he will escort the princess into the sedan chair and then take her on a tour of Longxiao City.
However, given Yuening's current physical condition, she certainly wouldn't be able to complete a tour of Longxiao City. So the process was simplified: after the prince consort greeted the princess, they would go directly to the palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, receive their blessings, and then return to the princess's residence.
Firecrackers crackled and popped at the entrance of the princess's residence.
The prince consort has arrived!
Mu Hua came over to help Yue Ning straighten her dress one last time and presented her with a round fan, saying, "Princess, you look beautiful today."
Yuening coughed lightly, a hint of shyness on her face.
Although she had had many male lovers, this was her first marriage, and she was somewhat shy like a bride.
Soon, Lu Junyuan arrived at the bridal chamber. After the matchmaker offered some auspicious words, he gently picked up Princess Yuening.
"Yuening, I can finally marry you."
Yuening leaned gently against Lu Junyuan's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, a blush of happiness rising in her heart, along with a hint of pride.
So what if she keeps male concubines? She can still marry the most outstanding talent in Longxiao Kingdom.
Lu Junyuan was willing to give up a promising future for her, and that's the charm of Yue Ning.
The princess's wedding was a lively affair, with elaborate and elaborate ceremonies.
Meanwhile, at the Imperial Palace's Guanglu Temple's Taiguan Department, five carts carrying fresh vegetables, fruits, and fish stopped to the side under the direction of the Taiguan Department's eunuchs.
"Hurry up and unload the things. Today is the princess's wedding. Don't let it interfere with my going to collect the lucky money," the little eunuch said impatiently.
When a princess gets married, palace servants will throw out lucky money, and the palace maids and eunuchs who are watching will all get some of the benefits.
Just then, an old man walked over and asked, "Little Shunzi, what are you doing?"
The visitor was Eunuch Liu, a favorite of the Grand Steward of the Imperial Household Department. Eunuch Liu usually handled the specific matters of the Imperial Household Department's vegetable collection, so Xiao Shunzi dared not offend him.
Xiao Shunzi hurriedly bent over, smiling obsequiously, "Eunuch Liu, I'm arranging for today's ingredients to be delivered."
"Today is the princess's wedding, so the ingredients cannot be taken lightly. I'll keep an eye on things. Go to the imperial kitchen and see if there's anything they need, and let me know in advance."
"Yes, Eunuch Liu, I'll go right away."
Faced with Eunuch Liu's arrangements, Xiao Shunzi dared not say anything.
Moreover, the princess and her consort were arriving soon, and he could use this opportunity to go and collect some lucky money. Xiao Shunzi was delighted and quickly left.
Liu Gonggong dismissed the nearby eunuchs with various excuses and then walked to the vegetable delivery cart.
"Everyone, the Prime Minister has asked me to lead you. Please follow me."
The four farmers delivering vegetables took off their hats, revealing themselves to be Su Ruojin, Xiao Yanchu, Yuan Hong, and Aya.
