Chapter 543: Chapter 545: Getting Married on that Day

"He truly is not capable, he is indeed benevolent, but he also has vulnerabilities. It would be best if they are not needed, but I fear everything will go contrary to our wishes. Many things are beyond one’s control," The Emperor said with great weight and deep concern.

Pei Siyang’s lips were tightly sealed, and he said nothing.

"I know the matter of your leg has hit you hard, but I hope you can recover, assist the Crown Prince wholeheartedly, and help me safeguard the Great Yao Kingdom," The Emperor expressed.

Pei Siyang nodded, "This son understands."

The Emperor, relieved, patted Pei Siyang on the shoulder and said, "You may leave now."

"Yes."

As Pei Siyang turned to leave, he did not notice The Emperor’s gaze growing dimmer.

Soon after Pei Siyang left, Eunuch Li entered and reported, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince requests an audience."

The Emperor composed himself, trying to appear more spirited.

"Summon him."

As Pei Huaian approached the Imperial Study Room, he saw The Emperor sitting in his chair, hesitated for a moment, then knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully, "This son pays respect to Father Emperor."

The Emperor looked up at him and said, "Rise,"

"Father Emperor, I have come to discuss a matter with you."

"Sit and speak."

Pei Huaian sat down and said, "Your Majesty, I wish to marry Shao He."

"That is good news. Have you selected a date for the wedding?"

"The eighth day of the tenth month. May I know your thoughts, Father Emperor?"

"There’s half a month’s time, although it’s a bit tight, it should still be feasible."

Pei Huaian lowered his eyes, hiding the flash of joy that appeared.

"In that case, I shall draft an Imperial Decree now, granting permission for you to marry in half a month," said The Emperor.

Pei Huaian stood up, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Father Emperor."

"Mm."

"The son takes his leave," said Pei Huaian as he turned and walked out.

Meanwhile, Shao He was diagnosing patients in Anji Hall when Eunuch Li arrived with the Imperial Decree.

Everyone present immediately knelt down to receive the decree.

Eunuch Li unfolded the decree and read, "By the mandate of heaven, the Emperor decrees: Shao He is gentle and virtuous, with a dignified appearance... Now specially decreeing her to be the Crown Princess Consort, to marry the Crown Prince on the eighth day of the tenth month... Let it be respected!"

"The commoner girl gratefully receives the decree, long live the Emperor, forever and ever," Shao He kowtowed to receive the decree.

Eunuch Li handed the decree to Shao He, smiling amiably, "Doctor Shao, congratulations."

Shao He, holding the decree in both hands, said humbly, "Thank you for making the trip, Eunuch Li."

"Now that the decree has been delivered to Doctor Shao, this old servant shall return to the palace to report," said Eunuch Li.

Shao He’s brow raised slightly, "Eunuch, please wait a moment."

A moment later, Shao He took out one ingot of silver and handed it to Eunuch Li, "It was troubling for you to make the trip, you’ve worked hard."

Eunuch Li hastily declined, "This old servant is merely a messenger; it’s improper for me to accept this silver."

Shao He insisted, pressing the silver into Eunuch Li’s hands, "Don’t worry, there’s no hidden meaning behind this silver. I’ve heard you are kind to everyone on normal days, so I wanted to gift you something as a token of my thanks."

Hearing Shao He say this, and considering the silver was indeed light, Eunuch Li accepted it.

After Eunuch Li left, Yun Qian and Zhao Yuebei came over to congratulate her.

"Congratulations to the Crown Princess Consort, from now on Anji Hall relies completely on you."

"Yes, Crown Princess Consort, please continue to look after us!"

Seeing the jesting pair, Shao He simply rolled her eyes, "Hurry back to see your patients and prepare their medicine."

"Yes, Crown Princess Consort," they said in unison.

Shao He helplessly massaged her forehead, feeling somewhat annoyed by their foolishness.

Yet such congratulations were far from over. After seeing more patients, Jhiang Yijia came running over in delight, saying, "Congratulations, Crown Princess Consort."

"Why are you acting like them, making such a fuss?" Shao He complained, pursing her lips.

Grinning, Jhiang Yijia pulled Shao He aside, speaking in a hushed tone, "I just passed by the pharmacy, and the common folk are all talking about your upcoming marriage to the Crown Prince."

"Yes, it’s true," she confirmed.

Amazed, Jhiang Yijia asked, "Is the wedding date fixed on the same day?"

Seeing Jhiang Yijia’s shocked expression, Shao He couldn’t help laughing, "The eighth day of the tenth month."

"Oh, this is so sudden, you’re about to marry the Crown Prince and I’m totally unprepared; this won’t do," Jhiang Yijia lamented.

"I just need your blessing, no need for any other preparation," she said.

Being Shao He’s first good friend since her arrival, she was already very happy to receive his blessing.

"No, I must embroider a red bridal veil for you," Jhiang Yijia declared seriously.

Shao He couldn’t help but laugh and cry at his earnestness, and ultimately, she agreed.

...

The women of Capital City, upon knowing about Shao He’s appointment as Crown Princess, displayed envious but admiring expressions.

Aside from those who came to congratulate her, there were many who came to curry favor, hoping to be liked by Shao He to get closer to Pei Huaian.

Shao He initially avoided such people as much as possible, but gradually, it became normal for her, although the woman before her seemed somewhat different.

"Doctor Shao, I heard about your tumultuous journey with the Crown Prince. Can you share it with us?"

Shao He looked up at the newcomer, a young girl in a goose-yellow dress.

"Sorry, I prefer not to share my personal matters with others, especially strangers," Shao He refused coldly.

"I am Wan Rong, the granddaughter of the Prime Minister; I heard His Highness the Crown Prince is getting married, and I came to visit the Prospective Crown Princess,"

Wan Rong, truly a daughter of a high official, was impeccable in her speech and demeanor.

Shao He merely responded with a faint acknowledgment, and that was the end of their conversation.
