Heng Heng, This Prince Came to Marry You!
The words “His Highness came” caused Feng Yu Heng to become dazed for a while. Xuan Tian Ming had come? What was the need for such a commotion? Since when had these two servants been so unable to hold back? Calling out as if it was the same as “the Emperor has come.”
While brushing her hair, she walked over to open the door. Having dried her hair with a hairdryer, it was very clean and fresh. She just tied her hair up into a ponytail, giving her a very good-looking appearance.
The cries continued outside the door, and they seemed to become even more urgent. Even Ban Zou was added into the mix, as his voice came across. It was far less polite than Wang Chuan and Huang Quan: “What are you still dawdling for? His Highness the ninth prince’s procession has already reached Hundred Herb Hall’s entrance. You still aren’t hurrying to put on your makeup!”
Feng Yu Heng became furious. Opening the door, she loudly shouted: “Isn’t it just Xuan Tian Ming that came?! If he came, just come in. What are you shouting for? Could it be that you really want this imperial daughter to kneel and bow three times then kowtow five times to welcome him? You guys… uh…” Feng Yu Heng was dazed. Why were there so many people outside? There were many people outside. There were her maidservants and hidden guards, there were Hundred Herb Hall’s doctors and nurses, and there were also the patients of Hundred Herb Hall and their families. There were even citizens from the outside that had come in, as they all looked at her with a celebratory look. They all had bright smiles on their faces.
What was this situation?
Feng Yu Heng was a bit dazed, “Xuan Tian Ming gave you guys money?” Why else would it be so lively? But in the end, Xuan Tian Ming had just come. Was this that grand of an occasion? Was it such that it would be this moving?
Seeing that she had a dazed expression, Huang Quan anxiously stomped her feet: “Hah, my young miss! Come back to your senses. His Highness the ninth prince’s marriage procession has already reached the entrance. Hearing that you were performing surgery, he specifically gave the order not to disturb you. Hearing that you were tired after performing the surgery and wanted to rest for a bit, he waited patiently for another hour. Now, it’s almost noon. If you don’t leave soon, we won’t reach Sha Ping City before it gets dark!”
These words caused Feng Yu Heng to become even more confused. What was this? Marriage procession? “What marriage procession? Who is getting married?”
“Of course, it’s you!” Wang Chuan could not hold back her emotions, as tears welled up in her eyes. Grabbing Feng Yu Heng’s hand, she forcefully held back the emotions and said: “We have all wrongfully blamed His Highness the ninth prince. It turned out that His Highness not saying anything and not coming over here was to provide young miss with a pleasant surprise. That’s not all. When you just went in to perform the surgery, the marriage procession had just arrived. Wearing a bright-red wedding suit and riding a military horse, His Highness endured the extreme heat and waited outside. This caused many people in Lan Zhou to gather around in watch!”
Feng Yu Heng’s mind was in a daze, as she was a little unable to react. What was this girl saying? Xuan Tian Ming had come to get married? Was it to marry her? There was still a battle in the South. Would the wedding not need to to be pushed back? How could he come to get married without making a sound?
She took a couple steps forward in a daze. The people outside subconsciously opened up a path, allowing her through. Wang Chuan and Huang Quan accompanied her on both sides, with Ban Zou followed behind. While walking, he quietly said: “Don’t get too emotional, don’t cry, don’t be shameful, walk in a straight line, smile a bit and don’t have such a stiff expression.”
“So long-winded!” Feng Yu Heng cursed, but she increased her pace by a bit, descending from the second floor of Hundred Herb Hall to the first. Finally reaching the front entrance, she found out why people were so moved.
Xuan Tian Ming’s wedding procession really was magnificent! From the bridegroom to the people in the procession, it was a long line of red. Who knew where the matchmaker had come from, as her smile was extremely bright. Seeing her come out, she immediately stepped forward and jubilantly said: “Congratulations, Imperial Daughter Ji An! Becoming of age, your wedding is at hand! His Highness the ninth prince has come to receive you on a large horse!”
Once these words were said, everyone nearby began to applaud. There were even a large number of who people began to cheer, and the scene was very lively.
She nodded faintly toward that matchmaker to express her thanks then looked up at Xuan Tian Ming. This was the first time that she had seen Xuan Tian Ming wearing red. Originally, she had been thinking that this ninth prince that favored the color purple would have a wedding suit made out of purple fabric for the day of the big wedding; however, who knew that this guy would actually be… uh, have such poor taste. Such a commoner style, wearing red clothes like common folk. At this time, riding atop the large horse that the matchmaker had spoken of, he had a rarely-seen smile. This smile made the purple lotus flower on his forehead bloom even more. Under the brightness of the sun in the South, it was a bit blinding for her.
“Heng Heng.” These words helped her regain her senses, but she heard that bridegroom immediately say: “Today, you become of age. This prince already made an agreement with you and came to marry you.”
Tears immediately came pouring down her face. Like a stream of beads, they dripped down her face, causing the person sitting atop the horse to feel distressed. He quickly dismounted his horse and rushed forward. While wiping away tears, he asked: “Why are you crying? Are you blaming me for coming late? I wanted to give you a pleasant surprise, thus I did not say anything beforehand. But we already said that we would get married on the day that you became of age. Something that was promised to Heng Heng, this prince definitely would not lie about.”
“But I haven’t prepared.” A certain person said with grief, “Look, I didn’t even do my makeup, nor did I prepare my wedding dress ahead of time. Wasn’t it said that girls in Da Shun need to prepare their wedding dresses before getting married? I thought that with the fighting in the South, our wedding would be pushed further back.” She fiddled with her fingers and felt a bit guilty. In the end, it was her that had lacked faith in Xuan Tian Ming, and she had even complained wholeheartedly that he had not come to speak with her; however, she never thought that this person would suddenly come for the wedding. Back then, there had been a promise. After many years, he did not forget about it. This was the man that she wanted to marry!
Hearing her say this, before Xuan Tian Ming could chime in, the matchmaker jubilantly said: “Hah, my imperial daughter! There’s no need for you to worry about this. His Highness the ninth prince helped prepare that for you! A wedding dress of commoner’s brocade* and a phoenix coronet made of crystal have all been brought here. Take a look!”

After the matchmaker finished speaking, she stepped to the side, and two maidservants stepped forward with looks of joy on their faces. One held the red wedding dress, and the other carried the crystal phoenix coronet. Bowing before her, they clearly said: “Would imperial daughter please get changed.”
A phoenix coronet made entirely of a yellow crystal looked even more dazzling than if it were made of gold. In this era, the cost of crystal would be many times higher than the cost of gold. Even for normal wealthy families, they could not afford to buy crystal earrings. Even if it was the family of a government official, for a girl to have a piece of crystal jewelry was already something that gave them a lot of face. Back when Feng Yu Heng had just returned to the capital and received the betrothal gift from Xuan Tian Ming, this was the reason that Xiang Rong and An shi were so moved by her gift of pink crystal earrings.
Such a valuable thing was actually used to make a phoenix coronet by Xuan Tian Ming! At this very moment, everyone present stared at the coronet with wide eyes. Even Wang Chuan could not help but sigh: “His Highness is too magnanimous!”
Huang Quan even said: “It’s entirely made of yellow crystal. With this phoenix coronet, even the commoner’s brocade loses out!”
But even if it lost out, it was still one of the five treasures, Lan Zhou City’s people were completely dazed, especially the madams and young misses of the wealthy families. When they heard that the ninth prince had come to marry Imperial Daughter Ji An, they all ran out to watch the festivities. Now that they saw the ninth prince’s generosity, their mouths were opened wide in shock. They were unable to close their mouths for a long time.
Feng Yu Heng did not care too much about whether or not things were valuable. She had become accustomed to seeing things like crystal. She also knew Xuan Tian Ming’s personality. She had already prepared herself ahead of time. When this person acted, he either would not give anything or would give the best. But even if this was the case, an entire phoenix coronet made of yellow crystal nearly caused her to become dazed.
It was too beautiful! It truly was too beautiful! It also definitely was not in poor taste.
Normally speaking, something like a phoenix coronet would be either made of gold or silver, and there were not too many decorations. At most, there would be some engravings on it. The quality of the item would also be seen from this; however, who knew that there would be someone that dared to use crystal to have one made. Using yellow crystal to make a phoenix coronet truly was incomparable.
But… this thing should be quite heavy, right? Feng Yu Heng sighed internally. It was just her, as if it had been anyone else, they would have a hard time enduring the weight of this thing!
She was unable to stop the elation from appearing on her face, and the smile even reached the corners of her eyes. It could not even be wiped away. Wang Chuan and Huang Quan quickly reached out to receive the phoenix coronet and wedding dress, as Ban Zou reminded her from behind: “What are you staying frozen for. Go back and get changed!”
Only then did Feng Yu Heng react, quickly saying to Xuan Tian Ming: “Just wait for me a little longer. I will be back shortly.”
Xuan Tian Ming said: “No rush. We can definitely reach Sha Ping City before it gets dark. Things have already been prepared over there. It’s just waiting for your arrival.”
The young girl happily charged back into Hundred Herb Hall to get changed and put on makeup. Outside Hundred Herb Hall, the citizens of Lan Zhou City gathered around. It was a sea of people; however, it automatically opened up a path for the wedding procession to continue. It was very orderly.
Back on the first night that Xuan Tian Ming had arrived in the South and taken Sha Ping City, he had already become the god of war in the eyes of Lan Zhou’s citizens. Later on, he also took Jue Ping City in a single fight. The rumors about him being a god of war seemed to gain even more credibility. Adding on Feng Yu Heng’s Hundred Herb Hall also opening in Lan Zhou City to much fanfare, so many people with illnesses that could not be treated had been saved. So many people had bought her medical pills and tablets, and they found that they saw quick improvements to their situation. There were also so many poor people that had received medicine for free, and they did not need to endure the pain that stemmed from illness. Hearing that His Highness the ninth prince would be marrying Imperial Daughter Ji An on this day, aside from wanting to watch a spectacle, the people also came over to wish them well.
Who knew who started it, as someone shouted: “Everyone wishes Your Highness the ninth prince and Imperial Daughter Ji An a joyous wedding! We wish Your Highness and Imperial Daughter 100 years of harmony together!”
In an instant, this sort of shout rapidly spread, as everyone loudly wished them well. Everyone’s faces had genuine smiles, and there were even some that wiped away tears, feeling that they truly were too lucky to have been able to see this sort of event while they were alive.
Xuan Tian Ming was not stingy, as the attendants began throwing gift bundles that had been prepared beforehand. This caused the people to begin fighting for them.
These bundles had been planned meticulously. They looked like normal gift bundles, but they were all filled with different things, and some just gave silver. There were some that had nice jewelry, and there were some that contained little trinkets made of gold or silver. There were even some that contained small jade trinkets. In summary, the gift bundles were very innovative, and their cost was not low. People that were able to snatch them would be able to live off of the item inside the gift bundle for half a year.
There were quite a few gift bundles, as Xuan Tian Ming was not lacking for money. On this front, he had spent quite a bit of time. Of course, he made use of this to capture the hearts of Lan Zhou’s citizens, completely scattering the eighth prince’s memory from their minds.
The people snatched these gifts that came wave after wave, dropping from the sky. Finally, when they had nearly finished snatching everything, they heard an announcement from inside Hundred Herb Hall: “The bride has arrived!”
