Chapter 1463: Grand Wedding (1)
Editor: Atlas Studios
Emperor Jing He had been on the throne for three years. The border was stable, the country was peaceful, and the sea was clear. The commoners praised the royal family.
Recently, there was more festivity in this praise.
There was no other reason. The two princesses were finally getting married.
Why finally? It had to start three years ago.
At that time, the Saint Empress Dowager was still the Empress. For the marriage of the two princesses, she specially gathered young talents from all over the world and prepared to choose a prince consort for the two of them.
However, a few days before the selection, Emperor Jing Xuan was unwell and died a few days later.
The two princesses had been mourning for the previous emperor until now.
The commoners thought that they were going to restart the selection of the emperor’s son-in-law. Unexpectedly, the Saint Empress Dowager issued an imperial decree and betrothed the two princesses.
This broke the hearts of many descendants of aristocratic families in the capital.
They had painstakingly prepared for three years and had never even worked so hard for the scientific examination. Who would have thought that the opportunity would be gone just like that?
Although they complained, everyone obediently shut up when the candidates for the two prince consorts were announced to the public.
They could not compare. They really could not compare to these two!
The two princesses’ wedding was on the same day, which made the Saint Empress Dowager extremely busy.
“These are Huahua’s. Take a look. If there’s no problem, get someone to seal the box.”
In the Kang Shou Palace, the Saint Empress Dowager handed a golden book to Empress Dowager Jing.
Empress Dowager Jing was once Consort Xian, the biological mother of Xiao Zhonghua and Princess Hui An.
Empress Dowager Jing said with a haggard expression, “Sister, you can just take a look at these things. There’s no need to inform me.”
It was more comfortable to be Consort Xian. There was no need to worry about or take care of anything.
Saint Empress Dowager said, “It’s fine if this is anything else. Huahua is getting married. As her mother, you have to do your best for her.”
After Consort Xian became the Empress Dowager, the greatest benefit was that she did not have to go to Kunning Palace to pay her respects every day. The Grand Empress Dowager did not summon them much. She could sleep until she woke up naturally every day.
However, in the past few months, because of her daughter’s marriage, she had always been dragged over by the Saint Empress Dowager to discuss the details of the marriage. She had not slept in for three days!
“Well …”
Empress Dowager Jing responded vaguely and began to peck at the rice.
The Saint Empress Dowager sighed helplessly and said to the palace maid, “Invite Lord Chu over.”
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Jing immediately looked up in high spirits. “Then can I leave now?”
The Saint Empress Dowager was speechless.
Empress Dowager Jing went back to catch up on her sleep.
The palace maid let in a woman in a scarlet official robe.
The woman bowed respectfully. “Feifeng greets the Saint Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager.”
The Saint Empress Dowager nodded amiably. “The wedding is the day after tomorrow. Come and see if there are any mistakes.”
Chu Feifeng replied, “Yes.”
Chu Feifeng had helped the Saint Empress Dowager manage internal affairs for a period of time during the state funeral. The Saint Empress Dowager took a fancy to her ability and made an exception to confer her as a female official.
Chu Feifeng sat down opposite the Saint Empress Dowager. She picked up the booklet on the table that she had read countless times and flipped through it meticulously again.
It took four hours.
By the time she finished annotating the last book, the Saint Empress Dowager had already fallen asleep on the chaise longue.
The palace maid opened her mouth, but Chu Feifeng stopped her.
She gave the palace maid a look. The palace maid understood and stood up to send her out.
When she passed by the imperial garden, a sneaky figure silently followed her.
She said to the palace maid, “Just send me up to here. Hurry up and go back to serve the Empress Dowager.”
“Yes, Lord Chu.”
The palace maid left.
Chu Feifeng smiled. “Princess Hui An, come out.”
Princess Hui An stuck her head out. “Sister Chu, how did you know it was me?”
Chu Feifeng said, “Princess Hui An’s footsteps are different. They’re very light.”
Princess Hui An raised her chin. “Of course! I learned qinggong!”
She just didn’t learn it successfully.
Chu Feifeng smiled and asked, “Princess, why are you looking for me?”
Princess Hui An asked, “Is my sidekick back?”
