Jiang Yue tilted her head slightly and looked at the man.

He said to the others in a gentle yet stern voice, "Move the brazier away."

Jiang Yue was confused. Wouldn’t it be time to jump over the fire basin?

Why move it?

The etiquette nanny next to him was also confused, thinking that Prince Shou didn't understand.

Smiling, he stepped forward and explained, "Your Highness, you may not know this, but this stepping over the fire basin is a custom passed down from ancient times by our ancestors. After the bride steps over the fire basin, all the bad luck she carries with her will be eliminated. From now on, the couple will be united and live a happy life."

Jiang Yue couldn't see clearly, but she heard the man next to her speak again, "The princess is marrying down to me, so how can it be considered unlucky? Take it!"

The nanny was about to persuade her, but Lu Bai quickly took the brazier away.

He knew very well what his master felt towards the princess.

Although the meaning of jumping over the fire basin is good, it also reflects the injustice to women.

After marrying Xiaozhu, I would often hear my wife say, "Women are no different from men. We will never allow the man born from our womb to stab us with a sword or other sharp weapon."

Gradually, I felt that what my wife said made sense.

The man pulled the red cloth with one hand and held Jiang Yue's arm with the other.

He brought it to face the people and ministers who were watching outside.

His voice was resounding and majestic. "The princess is marrying me, which is beyond my reach. I don't have the princess's talent or brilliant ideas, nor her resourcefulness, skill, and courage."

His gentle eyes cast a deep glance at his beloved standing beside him. "Although the princess is a woman, she is no less capable than a man in every aspect. If there is a need to cross the fire basin, it should be my turn."

Everyone outside the door was shocked by Prince Shou's remarks.

When she looked at Jiang Yue, who was wearing a phoenix crown and a red robe and standing next to Prince Shou, old memories came to her mind.

At this time, a military doctor and an imperial physician stepped forward and spoke excitedly, "Your Highness is right! The princess developed penicillin, disinfectant alcohol, antipyretics, and other medicines, saving the lives of countless civilians and soldiers in our two countries! The princess is not unlucky!"

Another young palace maid and eunuch stepped forward, "The princess is unlucky! During the extreme heat, although the emperor is compassionate, palace maids like us die from the heat every day. It was the princess! It was the princess's appearance that saved us!"

"Yes! It was the princess who unconditionally passed down the method of making ice that allowed us to survive the extreme heat! The princess is our great benefactor!"

The cheers grew louder and louder, and more people remembered Jiang Yue’s great contributions to the two countries and began to applaud.

Jiang Yue has made many other things, such as snack cakes, drones, sea whirlpools, guns and weapons, snowplows, and so on.

But most of the people don’t know that Jiang Yue did it under the names of Guixu Fairy and Penglai Fairy.

But even though these things the common people know, many people still remember them in their hearts and are grateful.

Prince Shou raised the corners of his lips and looked into Jiang Yue's bright almond-shaped eyes under the red veil.

Although her vision was unclear, Jiang Yue immediately understood what the man meant.

Prince Shou released the hand that was holding her arm, and the two of them saluted to the people in the incredulous gazes of everyone.

Then he turned and walked towards the wedding hall amid cheers.

Xiaozhu and Hongmei followed behind the two of them, holding apples and jade ruyi.

Emperor Mingde and Concubine Liang sat at the top, wearing dark red robes and red-haired crowns on their heads.

He stretched his neck joyfully and looked out.
