Chapter 628: Mirror of Heaven, Earth, Sun and Moon
Tan Tao did not hide anything and tested Dabao openly, and Dabao answered the questions fluently.
This attracted a lot of admiration from the people. The young Prince Xiang was so young, yet he was so powerful. Wasn't he just a student? How could he be so talented? With this kind of knowledge, it would be easy for him to pass the imperial examination.
The auspicious time was approaching, and Emperor Xuan, along with the Queen and the Crown Prince, had finally arrived.
Everyone stood up to welcome him.
Xuan Huang was so happy today that even his listless and haggard look was not so obvious.
The queen also smiled and looked graceful and elegant.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was dressed in a gorgeous robe, with his head held high, looking particularly dignified.
Following behind were several of the most respectable eunuchs in the palace, including Eunuch Si, Eunuch De, and the chief eunuchs serving the empress and the crown prince.
Eunuch Si was clearly in solitary confinement, but today, the eldest princess's wedding day, he was released as an exception and brought along to attend the celebration.
As soon as Xuanhuang arrived, the ceremony began.
The master of ceremonies from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau presided over the engagement ceremony.
The eldest princess was wearing a bright red wedding dress, and Wang Ming was also wearing a wedding dress. The two of them stood together, and everyone congratulated and envied them.
This was just an engagement ceremony, but it was so grand. The wedding day would be even more unimaginable. The royal princess is so rich, no wonder everyone is trying their best to marry her.
The newlyweds pay homage to the Emperor Xuan and the Empress.
Emperor Xuan gave out a series of rewards. Eunuch Si held up the tray of rewards. Eunuch Si passed the rewards to everyone he mentioned. They were all rare treasures that were eye-opening.
I envy Prince Consort Wang Ming even more.
Emperor Xuan dotes on the eldest princess, that's no joke.
Even the smile in the Queen's eyes faded a little. The Crown Prince couldn't help but glare at the Princess. Are they trying to empty the royal family? Those are all his Xuanye's things!
After Emperor Xuan gave out his rewards, the Empress gave out more.
It is also a good thing, but compared with the reward from Xuanhuang, it is completely not worth mentioning.
Master Dazhi came on stage and read the blessing scriptures to the newlyweds. The potted flowers in the hall all bloomed, and it was very lively and joyful.
The kaiko and geisha who had been prepared in advance came on stage to perform, and the crowd was bustling with activity.
It’s time to have the wedding banquet.
Xuanhuang sat at the top, with the War King sitting next to him, and the others were seated in order of their official rank.
Amidst the bustle, Emperor Xuan and King Zhan were having a cordial conversation.
"Brother, you look really well now. When will your daughter, Princess Fu'an, and the others return to the capital? I've been feeling more and more headaches these past few days. I've been drinking too much medicine, and I tend to forget things..."
Prince Zhan replied, "It should be soon. It's mainly because of the bad weather that we were delayed on the road. Your Majesty, what's the matter with this medicine? Where did you prescribe it? If you feel something is wrong, why not stop taking it for a few days?"
"There should be no problem with the prescription. It was written by the Imperial Hospital and was jointly prescribed by several imperial physicians. Before, Princess Fu'an prescribed medicine for me, which was also improved based on that prescription. My illness needs to be adjusted at any time according to the severity of the disease. It's just that my headache has become more and more serious recently, and I can't sleep well. If I don't take the medicine, my headache is severe. After taking it, I become a little forgetful and my memory has declined seriously. Sometimes I forget what I said just now..." Xuanhuang was whispering to the War King.
The scene was so lively and noisy that no one else could hear it.
Therefore, Xuan Huang dared to say that his physical condition was a secret anyway, so that fewer people knew about it and fewer people would panic.
The War King hadn't expected that Xuan Huang's illness had reached such a stage where it was beginning to show signs of prolonged illness. "Your Majesty, please be cautious with this medicine and drink less. A severe headache is better than not being able to remember anything at all."
The country is so important that we must not be careless or forget even a little bit.
He didn't say the rest of the words, but Xuan Huang naturally understood it.
He sighed, "It's okay, I can still hold on. I want to wait for Princess Fu'an to come back and help me treat it again. To be honest, Princess Fu'an cured me almost completely before, but then, for some reason, it came back. I may have had some misunderstandings about Princess Fu'an at that time, so I didn't ask her to help treat the disease anymore. I don't know if Princess Fu'an is still willing to treat me now."
King Zhan said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Lianzhu is a doctor. It is her duty to cure illnesses and save lives. As long as you trust her, everything will be fine."
"That's good. If it doesn't work, brother, my Da'an Kingdom..." Xuan Huang said in a low voice.
Prince Zhan understood what he meant. "Your Majesty, today is the engagement banquet for the eldest princess. We brothers won't discuss this. You can rest assured that I am loyal to the Great An Kingdom at any time. Your Majesty is younger than I am. I have survived many near-death experiences before. This is just a minor problem. Don't overthink it."
At this time, the eldest princess and Wang Ming came over to toast.
Xuan Huang continued, "Thank you, big brother, for raising such a good husband. Marry my son and we will be together in the future..."
Prince Zhan's expression darkened. "Your Majesty, I have to be frank with you. Wang Ming is not worthy of the princess. It is the princess who praises him too much."
Xuan Huang smiled and said that when he was still the eldest son, he was definitely worthy of her, but now...
The eldest princess made her own choice, there is nothing we can do about it.
"Father..."
The eldest princess and the others had already arrived in front of him, and Xuanhuang and Zhan Wang stopped talking.
The newlyweds began to toast, and everyone in the audience looked over here.
The first one is of course to respect the heavens, the earth, the emperor, one’s parents and grandparents…
"Father, your son Xuan Yue and your son Wang Ming offer you a toast. May your father be in good health and happy every day."
The eldest princess was shy, standing next to the tall Wang Ming. They were truly a match made in heaven.
The two men raised their glasses and toasted Xuan Huang with the first glass of wine of the day.
Emperor Xuan stood up and looked at the people in front of him with a relieved expression, "Okay, Yue'er, your father has been reluctant to let you get married and has kept you until now. You are almost eighteen years old now, and now you are finally getting married. From now on, you will become an adult and can no longer be like a child. You should control your spoiled temper and stay at home to take care of your husband and children..."
"Yes." The eldest princess responded softly.
Then, the Emperor Xuan said to Wang Ming, "Prince Consort, you and the princess are in love. This is a fate destined by heaven. I also wish you two to grow old together. The eldest princess has been spoiled by me to no end. When you get married, you must be more tolerant. Although she is a princess, she will also be your wife in the future. I hope you can protect her well and let her live a happy life. Can you do that?"
Wang Ming bowed deeply and said, "Father, please rest assured. My heart and intention towards the princess are as clear as the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon."
…
Everyone applauded.
Dabao and Erbao beside the King of War looked like they were enjoying the show, especially Erbao who was watching with great interest.
