Come to the main hall.

Princess Huining and her husband sat in the main seats.

There is a cushion in front of me.

Hua Xiangling knelt down.

"Dear parents, I am deeply saddened to see my daughter getting married today.

I will always be grateful to my parents for their years of nurturing and care.

Although I cannot always be by your side after we part, I will definitely abide by the code of conduct for women, respect my parents-in-law, support my husband and raise my children, and live up to my parents' teachings.

I hope my parents take care of their health and don't worry about their daughter."

Hua Xiangling bowed deeply.

Only at this moment did she truly feel that she was really going to leave her mother who loved her the most in the world.

A feeling of bitterness involuntarily came over her heart, and she, who never cried easily, could no longer control her tears.

The soft sobs reached the ears of Princess Huining and her husband.

Princess Huining also wiped her eyes gently with a handkerchief.

She had raised her daughter for twenty-three years, and after today she would belong to someone else's family. She was reluctant to let her go.

"Mom, I don't want to get married. I can't bear to leave you." Hua Xiangling suddenly stood up and was about to pull off the veil on her head. Fortunately, her brother was quick-witted and stopped her in an instant.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Mother has been waiting for this day for a long time, so you better get into the bridal sedan obediently. Live a good life with your son-in-law in the future, and give me a big fat grandson as soon as possible. When you have a son, you will understand how I feel about raising you for so many years." Princess Huining put away her sadness and taught him a lesson.

"Okay, Xiangling just can't bear to leave us. She is a sensible and good child." Prince Consort Hua patted the eldest princess's hand to comfort her.

"Du'er, quickly carry your sister out, don't keep the bride waiting too long."

At this moment, Miao Bingwen came in without regard for etiquette.

He knelt in front of the eldest princess and her husband, and knelt in a row with Hua Xiangling.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please rest assured that I will treat Xiangling well. As soon as I have time, I will bring her back to her parents' home to enjoy her company."

"Okay, remember what you said today." Prince Hua was very satisfied.

Hua Du once again carried his sister on his back and walked out.

Miao Bingwen was guarding the side.

The wedding procession set off.

Princess Huining let out a long breath.

"She's finally married. I finally don't have to sigh about her marriage all day long."

"This marriage is destined by heaven. It would not have happened if the time was not right. But once the fate comes, it cannot be stopped." Prince Consort Hua also sighed.

This is his eldest daughter, and he loves her very much, but the child has suffered a lot.

I hope she will be safe and sound in the future.

Yu Yuanzheng followed the wedding procession to Yu Mansion.

After three kneelings and nine kowtows, she was escorted to the bridal chamber.

Yu Yuanzheng stayed with Hua Xiangling most of the day, and only came out when the groom entered the bridal chamber.

She also let out a long breath.

Finally got married.

The evil she had done was finally rectified.

The third day after Hua Xiangling's marriage was the fifth day of August.

The day for the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven set by the emperor is approaching.

Yuntaishan is one hundred and twenty miles away from the capital.

The emperor, accompanied by his civil and military ministers and some clan relatives, traveled slowly and set out early in the morning.

The princess left at home to look after the children while the other three went to Prince Rong's Mansion.

Yu Yuanzheng went there as the Marquis of Zhenguo.

The weather in early August doesn't have much of an autumn feel.

They gathered at the city gate at the beginning of the morning.

Because of the victory, the world will be peaceful for many years to come. The emperor was so happy that he took the concubines above the rank of concubine with him.

The queen also brought her two children with her.

The emperor's children are arranged according to their birth date, regardless of gender. The first few princes before the seventh prince are all sisters and are all married.

The emperor was also lucky. His first three children were princes, and the next three children were all daughters.

When the queen gave birth to a son and a daughter.

The eighth princess had another prince and princess, but their biological mother did not have a high status.

So those who went to Yuntaishan together this time also included the eldest prince and his wife, the third prince and his wife, and the seventh prince and his sister.

But when Princess Lingxuan saw Yu Yuanzheng wearing men's clothes and riding a horse, she regretted it very much.

Why don't you tell her?

She can ride a horse, too.

"You better stay still. The sun will be high soon. Besides, you will be getting married after the New Year, so don't get yourself tanned." Princess Jing scolded her daughter angrily when she saw her daughter's eager look.

Her daughter is not young anymore. If it were possible for the family to hold two weddings in the same year, she would have been eager to marry her daughter off this year.

Ever since the engagement with the Prime Minister's family was established, the date had been set and the wedding was to be held after the palace examination. However, it turned out that the eldest son wanted to marry the ninth princess of Southern Shu, so the daughter's wedding had to be postponed.

"Mother. But I really want to ride a horse."

"No." Princess Jing was very strong.

Seeing her mother's dark face, Princess Lingxuan had to give up.

"Mother, how could you bear to leave my brother alone in the palace?" Princess Lingxuan deliberately brought up the thing that worried her mother the most to anger her.

"I can't bear to leave, and I can't take you with me. You can't run around this time. You must not leave Mother's side. Remember?"

"You've said it three times. I've got it." This request was not only made by my mother and father, but also by my eldest brother twice.

No matter how stupid she was, she knew that something might happen when the emperor offered sacrifices to heaven.

A few years ago, when we were offering sacrifices to heaven, the Canglan assassin tried to assassinate the emperor. Now that Wei has won the battle, would Canglan still dare to send assassins?

She couldn't figure it out.

But just be obedient.

"Mother, I want to remind Sister-in-law Yuanzheng. Why don't we let her stay with us?" Princess Lingxuan was afraid that Yu Yuanzheng would be in danger.

"She has Ziqi to protect her, so you don't have to worry about her."

"But Brother Ziqi has important things to do, how can he care about her?"

"Didn't you see that she brought her six guards?" Princess Jing felt a little headache.

How could the guards at Prince Jing's residence compare to those at Prince Rong's residence? What kind of concern was my daughter having?

Moreover, the Marquis of Zhenguo has an important mission, which Prince Jing told her privately.

But my daughter must not know about this.

The emperor's sacrifice to heaven this time is not just a simple sacrifice to heaven.

The team moved forward neither fast nor slow.

We didn't reach the top of Yuntaishan until just before dark.

This mountain is the highest mountain within a radius of 150 miles of the capital.

The biggest feature is that one side slopes upward gently, the other side is a cliff, and there is a big lake below the cliff.

The top of the mountain is a flat open area.

The mountain is lush and green. It is not yet late autumn when the leaves fall, and the mountain is full of wild fruits.

When you go up the mountain, you can also see groups of monkeys roaming around.

From time to time, you can see squirrels running around and jumping on the branches.

Yu Yuanzheng was very excited when seeing this.

That is nature.

This mountain was designated by the royal family as an important place for offering sacrifices to heaven, and a palace was built on the top of the mountain.

There is dedicated management.

As soon as the emperor arrived, the officials of the Ministry of Rites became busy.

Allocate areas and guide each prefecture in resettlement.

Everything was arranged at the end of the evening (9pm).

The prince's family was arranged to live in the courtyard closest to the emperor.

Yu Yuanzheng had finished showering and washing up when Shangguan Ziqi came back from outside.

"Madam, why haven't you gone to bed yet?" He saw Yu Yuanzheng still sitting at the table.

"I washed my hair. Let it dry a little." Just as she finished speaking, the newly-appointed maid Bai Zhi came in from the outer room with a dry cloth, ready to wipe Yu Yuanzheng's hair.

I rode a horse all the way today. There were a lot of people around. When the horse ran, it was covered in dust. My hair was so dirty that I couldn't bear it without washing it.

"Meet the prince."

"Well, give it to me, you go down." Shangguan Ziqi took the cloth from Baizhi and wiped Yu Yuanzheng's hair himself.

"Madam, have a good rest tonight. The sacrifice will not begin for two days. During these two days, you can take your maid and guards to explore nearby, but don't go far. I will take you somewhere tomorrow night."
