Whenever Shen thought about her daughter marrying so far away, her eyes would immediately become red. Seeing this, Wan Ning would quickly comfort her.

That night, Shen and Wan Ning did not sleep well.

In Fengfu on West Street in Kyoto City, some people were tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Fortunately, the news came out the next day, and the eunuch from the palace went to Feng Mansion to read the imperial edict.

Feng Junyu respectfully accepted the imperial decree granting marriage, while Lord Feng beside him personally presented the eunuch with silver for his hard work.

After the eunuchs and their group left, Master Feng looked at the bright yellow imperial edict and said, "Since you have already made your plans, you must be a good consort in the future."

Feng Junyu knew what his father meant: "Don't worry, father. Don't worry, mother. I really want to marry the Tenth Princess and I will definitely treat her well."

At this time, Feng Mu came forward with a smile and said: "Look at you, you won't get married if you don't want to get married. Once you get married, you will find a princess daughter-in-law."

Feng Junyu smiled at his mother and said, "Mom, I have met her several times. The Tenth Princess has a very good personality. If you meet her, you will definitely like her."

"Okay, I'll wait."

The harem became lively again because of the appearance of the three imperial edicts.

Because Emperor Wenren Jing issued three imperial decrees to grant marriages, one was to marry the Ninth Princess Wenren Jiayun to the young Prince Anabawu of the Zhenrilang tribe, and the other was to marry the Twelfth Princess Wenren Yuxin to the Prince Wadu of Baiyi.

When the third imperial decree granting marriage reached Xichen Pavilion, Shen was so excited after hearing what the eunuch read out that she almost cried on the spot.

Wan Ning was looking at the bright yellow cloth in his hand, feeling that everything was settled.

Compared to the quietness of Xichen Pavilion, the other two places are not so peaceful.

The Ninth Princess held the imperial edict in her hand and kept her head down, not knowing what she was thinking. The Concubine Zhao next to her took the imperial edict and read it again carefully.

"Jiayun, do you want to marry him?"

When Wenren Jiayun heard what her mother said, she looked over and said, "The imperial edict is here, my daughter..."

Zhao Cairen frowned and said, "Don't lie to me, mother. Do you want to marry him and become a princess?"

"Daughter," Wenren Jiayun thought for a moment and nodded, "Daughter wants to go there to see the grasslands, deserts and Gobi Desert."

"Okay, then just wait and get married."

As for the twelfth princess, her mother shed tears silently as she looked at the imperial edict.

The twelfth princess stepped forward and said, "Mother, you have always been worried about your daughter's marriage. Now that it's a prince, you should be relieved!"

"Mom is worried. I've heard that it's always damp there, and there are lots of snakes, insects, rats and ants. You're a person who's afraid of rats, what will you do if you go there?"

After hearing what her mother said, the twelfth princess Wenren Yuxin was thinking about the chess friend she met yesterday, Wa Du. She never expected that Wa Du also studied their chess skills.

People always say that one can tell a person's character from the chessboard. She thinks that Prince Wadu knows when to act and when to retreat, and he considers the overall situation. He is a good person.

So, she was willing to marry Prince Wadu.

As for the person Wa Du mentioned at the beginning that he was going to marry, the Tenth Princess Wenren Wanning, the Twelfth Princess had not heard any news about it.

Probably because yesterday Wa Du also asked to see Emperor Wen Ren Jing and told the emperor that he also had a crush on the princess of the Great Qi Dynasty, so he asked Wen Ren Jing to give him a princess.

But after hearing his words, Wen Renjing asked back, "My daughters are naturally good. Has Prince Wadu seen the differences between the princesses?"

So Wa Du expressed his admiration for the Tenth Princess and his feelings for the Twelfth Princess, which led to the current arranged marriage.

In the post station outside the palace that received foreign guests, Wa Du's subordinates and the adults beside him wanted to know whether Wa Du really wanted to marry the princess of Da Qi.

After all, when they came, they did not hear the king's order to accept a foreign princess back.

After Wadu heard the translator explain the contents of the imperial edict, he smiled and said, "The twelfth princess is quiet and gentle, and she looks good. Why shouldn't I marry her?"

This rhetorical question immediately let the Bayi people know Wa Du's plan.

Just like that, the three marriages were finalized in the presence of everyone.

Because the Ninth Princess and the Twelfth Princess were both marrying far away, there were many things to prepare, and the wedding date was set for next autumn.

Wan Ning was to marry an official in the Hanlin Academy, so her wedding date could be postponed until the marriages of the two princesses were settled.

However, there was a Fifth Princess in front, and the pressure was instantly put on many people in the Imperial Household Department and the Ministry of Rites.

Because the fifth princess was the queen's own daughter, her status was naturally more grand than that of the other princesses. However, some preparations had been made beforehand, so the subsequent preparations were orderly in a chaotic manner.

Finally, in November of that year, the fifth princess got married.

The next year, the palace married off the ninth princess, Wenren Jiayun, and the twelfth princess, Wenren Yuxin. One went northwest, and the other went southwest.

When Wan Ning was nineteen years old, she finally got married to Feng Junyu.

It was September, a time of cool autumn weather. It was neither too hot nor too cold to get married at this time, which Wan Ning thought was perfect.

On the day of her wedding, Wan Ning was supported by Nanny Xi from the palace and walked directly to the main hall to bid farewell to Emperor Wen Renjing and Empress Wei Zilan.

As Wan Ning's biological mother, the Queen also gave Wan Ning some instructions, after which Feng Junyu stepped forward and thanked the Emperor and the Queen again together with Wan Ning.

Afterwards, Wan Ning got on the sedan chair and married into the Feng Mansion amidst music and dance.

Because Feng Junyu married a princess, not many people dared to get the groom drunk today. Instead, Feng Junyu returned to the backyard very early.

This time when she got married, Wan Ning not only brought Qingya with her, but also four palace maids, two maids, two young eunuchs, and a team of guards assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

All the servants were cleared out, leaving only the newlyweds in the bridal chamber.

Wan Ning had just come out from the backyard after washing and was drying her hair. She was surprised to hear Feng Junyu came back so soon.

But before she got up, the man entered the room.

Seeing Wan Ning's look, Feng Junyu was at a loss for a moment, but he immediately waved his hand: "You all go down."

Qingya looked at Wanning: "Princess?"

Wan Ning smiled and said, "It's okay. You guys go down first. Leave one person waiting outside. The others go back and rest. Come back to serve us tomorrow morning."

"Yes," the servants in the room quickly left upon seeing this.

Seeing that there was no outsider in the room, Wan Ning hesitated and stood up from the stool.

As soon as she stood up, Feng Junyu walked up to Wan Ning and saluted: "Princess!"

Wan Ning smiled and said, "If you call me like this, do I have to call you Master Feng from now on?"

Feng Junyu also noticed something was wrong, he covered his lips to ease the embarrassment and called out softly: "Madam."
