Chapter 1073: Chapter 1075: Coronation Grand Wedding (2)

"After entering the palace, don’t keep thinking about home. Your dad and I will be just fine. Wen’er and Wu’er have now entered the Royal Academy, and Fei’er is the most steady..."

"You are still young, not yet of age, and your body hasn’t fully developed, so you must restrain yourself and take care not to harm your health. You know, Mother didn’t want you to get married so early..."

In the end, Lady Du couldn’t hold back her tears, which started falling like rain.

Lady Qiao, the wife of Lord Han who was in charge of the Hanlin Academy, was also present. Seeing this, she hurriedly tried to console her, "Sister Du, please don’t be like this. We are about to reach the time for Sister Wei to board the phoenix palanquin. If she starts crying and smudges her makeup, what are we to do?"

"Exactly. Today is a joyful day. Wei’er is marrying into such an auspicious match. Soon she will become the mother of our nation. As relations, we should be happy."

Eldest Madam of the Duke Li Guo’s Household, Lady Wu, had come early to help out. Seeing Lady Du’s emotion, she quickly joined in to console her.

"Indeed, look at me, hehe, making everyone laugh..."

Lady Du, not wanting to stir feelings of sadness in her daughter and also feeling it was inauspicious to cry at that moment, quickly wiped away her tears and, with a smile, changed the subject, "Where’s the phoenix crown? Quickly, bring over the phoenix crown."

Huan Qiu and Chun Liu had been standing by all this while, holding the phoenix crown and the rosy clouds. Hearing Madam call for the phoenix crown, Huan Qiu quickly stepped forward, presenting the crown from the tray.

The phoenix crown was dazzlingly brilliant, with a Night Pearl at the very center. The Night Pearl, smooth and round, displayed a pale green hue. Beside the large Night Pearl were two smaller ones, surrounded by a hundred and eight pure white pearls, like stars circling the moon, setting off the Night Pearl’s radiance even more. Didn’t this unique Night Pearl on the phoenix crown symbolize the ultimate authority of the Empress Dowager?

"Oh my, this phoenix crown is really beautiful!"

"Tsk tsk, look at that Night Pearl. Our Great Jin Nation probably couldn’t find a second one to match its size!"

Inside the bedroom, the guests who had come to send off the bride were all chattering. Lady Zhao, the wife of the Yingtian Prefecture Prefect, said with a smile: "Isn’t this large Night Pearl just symbolizing our Great Jin Dynasty’s Empress Dowager? Among the three thousand beauties of the Imperial Harem, the most dazzling, the most eye-catching, is always the Empress Dowager. The other women are mere foils to Her Majesty, dimmed by her radiance..."

Outside, it was already broad daylight; the sun had risen high, shining brightly over the festive Mu Mansion. At the gate, Zhang Bo ran swiftly to the second door and called out to the doorkeeper, "Go check inside, see if the young miss is ready. The Emperor’s enthronement ceremony is about to conclude, he will be coming to fetch the bride soon..."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang hurried inside.

The people inside the room were stunned when they heard that the Emperor would personally come to fetch the bride. In civilian marriages, the groom usually had to wear a big red flower and accompany the wedding procession to fetch the bride. But Emperors didn’t personally go to fetch their brides.

Although the Emperor’s wedding also included a bride-fetching ritual, it was rare for Emperors to do it themselves; at least within the Great Jin Dynasty, there had been no Emperor who went to the bride’s home to fetch her. They would send suitable officials instead, and sometimes even had the bride’s family deliver her to the door.

Empress Mo, no, now she should be addressed as Empress Dowager Mo, had her wedding arranged by Prime Minister Ning on behalf of the Emperor.

And now, the current Emperor was planning to personally come to the Mu Mansion to fetch the bride, which clearly showed the Emperor’s affection for the Empress!

Everyone was stunned for a moment and then began to offer their congratulations. Lady Du was overwhelmed with surprise, and her earlier sorrow flew to Java. With a face full of joy, she started making arrangements, "Where are the rosy clouds, quick, the rosy clouds, and the apples too..."
