She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

"Yuan Zheng greets auntie, may auntie be well. You must be joking. It's rude of me, a younger generation, to come visit you so late." As a younger generation, Yu Yuan Zheng certainly cannot be self-righteous.

She was named a princess by the emperor, so it was perfectly fine for her to call Princess Huining "Auntie."

This was Yu Yuanzheng's third visit to the Princess's Mansion. The first two times she came at night, she was in disguise.

"Greetings, Princess." Miao Bingwen also stepped forward to pay his respects.

Princess Huining saw that he was wearing a festive robe and looked much more energetic, and nodded with satisfaction.

The group entered the main hall and sat down.

"Aunt, Miao Tanhua came to the mansion yesterday and asked me to be his matchmaker, asking for County Lady Xiangling as his wife. Today we come with the greatest sincerity. Please grant us your blessing, aunt." As she spoke, Yu Yuanzheng took out the gift list and presented it to her.

Hua Xiangling, who was standing behind Princess Huining, looked at Miao Bingwen generously.

A face full of smiles.

Miao Bingwen didn't dare to look her in the eye.

Princess Huining took the gift list and looked at it carefully.

The more I watch, the more satisfied I become.

All the common gifts for proposing marriage are available.

Of course she knew that this was not something Miao Bingwen could come up with.

Yu Yuanzheng also grasped the right balance.

Everyone knew that Miao Bingwen came from a poor family, so as long as he was polite and just right, it would be fine.

Princess Huining read it with satisfaction and nodded repeatedly.

The fact that he was shameless enough to ask Princess Zhenguo for help showed his sincerity towards his daughter.

Needless to say, both sides had a very pleasant conversation.

Lord Huining had been extremely anxious for a long time and immediately agreed.

We discussed the follow-up on the spot.

Proposing marriage today is considered as accepting the betrothal gift.

The subsequent steps of asking for the name, accepting the marriage proposal, accepting the betrothal gift, and asking for the date were all completed in a short time.

Then the wedding date was set for the second day of August.

Miao Bingwen also talked about his plan to go out and gain experience.

Princess Huining was very supportive.

Officials who have gained experience in foreign posts will have a brighter future if they return to Beijing.

As the third place in the imperial examination, Miao Bingwen usually entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor. Although this allowed him to get in touch with the political affairs of the capital more quickly, it took time.

However, he wrote to the Ministry of Personnel requesting an external appointment, and with the help of Princess Huining, his appointment letter was soon issued.

Coincidentally, he happened to be taking over Yu Yuanzheng's father's job as the county magistrate of Jiangqing County.

Yu Yunzhi's term of office had just ended, and he was waiting for the arrival of the new Jinshi candidate, after which he would return to Beijing.

During these three years, Yu Yunzhi's performance evaluations were excellent, and the emperor directly summoned him back to Beijing.

In the previous incident involving the Second Prince, many officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites were implicated, leaving many positions vacant.

And since he is Yu Yuanzheng's father, the emperor naturally pays more attention to his performance.

Time was tight, so the wedding preparations started quickly.

Yu Qingsheng will not start his post until next month, joining the Hanlin Academy as an editor.

So I went shopping with Miao Bingwen to prepare for the wedding.

After this period of time, the brotherhood between the two became stronger.

Before he was fourteen, Yu Qingsheng lived in the Yong'an Earl's Mansion, leading a repressed life and watching his father work like a servant under the eldest wife.

Having seen all these things since childhood, I did not develop a lofty character, but became more pragmatic.

Miao Bingwen was born in a poor family, so he knows that his life today is hard-earned and cherishes it even more.

The two will hit it off right away.

Yu Yuanzheng did not give Miao Bingwen 30,000 taels of silver directly, but only gave him a silver note of 10,000 taels and asked him to buy what he wanted.

Ask Ziyue and Jianghua to help buy the rest, and give him the account book when the time comes.

In the end, the betrothal gift was about 25,000 taels.

After Princess Huining received them, she counted them one by one and found that all the common items were there.

There are also two sets of the most exquisite jewelry for the daughter, which shows that the future son-in-law put a lot of thought into it.

very satisfied.

She didn't mind Miao Bingwen's poverty, all she wanted was an attitude.

However, a betrothal gift of 25,000 taels is already a lot.

She had prepared her daughter's dowry several years ago and was just waiting to decide on a family and date so she could get married at any time.

It can be seen that Princess Huining has given her daughter all the love a mother can give.

Soon it was the second day of August.

Yu Yuanzheng did not have classes that day as it was due to the wedding of Hua Xiangling and Miao Bingwen.

The three treasures will not have class today.

They also have important tasks.

Roll in the marriage bed!

The three treasures were pushed into the marriage bed by their own mother before they knew anything.

Now they are three and a half years old and don’t need any teaching at all.

Yu Yuanzheng acts as a matchmaker, but she doesn't really do the work of a matchmaker.

On the day of the wedding, Miao Bingwen invited an official matchmaker to go with him to welcome the bride.

Yu Yuanzheng went directly to Princess Huining's residence and stayed with Hua Xiangling as a good sister.

Watch her put on her makeup.

I will send her off to get married later and go to Yu Mansion together.

"Cousin Yuan Zheng, no, from now on I will not call you cousin, I will call you sister Yuan Zheng. From today on, you should call me sister-in-law." Hua Xiangling did not have the slightest shyness of a newlywed.

"No problem, since the eldest brother of the Miao family has sworn brotherhood with my younger brother, he is my sworn brother.

When you return from your post, let him formally recognize my parents as his godfather and godmother.

The timing is not right now. You go, and they return.

No, you can hold the ceremony after arriving in Jiangqing County.

I'll write a letter to my parents and tell them." Yu Yuanzheng thought it would be difficult for the two families to meet.

She almost forgot that her parents wouldn't come back until she and her husband arrived.

Isn't that a chance for us to meet?

"Just do as you say." Hua Xiangling kept this incident in mind.

She was very happy to be able to become a family with Yuan Zheng.

The relationship became one step closer.

Madam Quanfu combed her hair.

"Xiangling, I will personally put the phoenix crown on you today." Yu Yuanzheng stood up and wanted to do something to express his blessing to the girl.

"Okay." Hua Xiangling felt Yu Yuanzheng's intentions and said okay with a sweet smile.

Yu Yuanzheng solemnly held up the phoenix crown specially prepared by Princess Huining with both hands.

As soon as she picked it up, she felt how heavy it was.

This phoenix crown is made of pure gold, inlaid with several crystal clear pearls and sparkling gems. The combination of these two seems to condense the essence of the sun and moon, and the brilliance of the stars.

On the top of the crown, a phoenix with its wings spread out is lifelike, and its feathers are delicately carved, each piece seems to sway gently in the breeze, releasing a noble and extraordinary aura.

Several strings of fine tassels hang beneath the phoenix crown.

So exquisite that it dazzles the eyes.

It is much more beautiful than the one she wore when she got married.

It can be seen that the eldest princess really put a lot of thought into her daughter.

"Come, put on your clothes." Yu Yuanzheng picked up the shawl and put it on Hua Xiangling.

After putting on her clothes, Hua Xiangling turned around in front of the mirror again.

"Cousin Yuan Zheng, is she beautiful?"

"She is so beautiful, like a fairy. She will surely charm the groom so much that he won't even blink." Yu Yuanzheng's praise came from the heart.

really beautiful.

Thinking back to the first time I met this girl, the old scars on her face from the burns really made her look unbearable to see in public.

Looking at her today, she seems to have been reborn.

"Sister, you are the most beautiful bride in the world." Hua Xiangling's younger brother and sister-in-law also praised her sincerely.

At this moment, the sound of suona was heard outside the mansion.

The groom is here to pick up the bride.

Miao Bingwen was the newly crowned third place winner in the imperial examination, and some of the fellow Jinshi candidates who remained in Beijing had received invitations from Miao Bingwen, while others who had not received them also came to congratulate him when they learned that he was getting married today.

In the end, they all accompanied him to welcome the bride.

He added a powerful lineup to his wedding team.

The Hua family members who were blocking the door of the princess's mansion were no match for this group of people.

No matter what problem arises, it can be solved easily.

In the end, it only took a quarter of an hour to reach the inner courtyard gate.

Hua Xiangling's younger brother Hua Du came in obediently and carried her to say goodbye to her parents.

But during this process, Hua Xiangling, who had always been carefree and happy, started crying.
