zChapter 904 - Heng Heng, This Prince Came to Marry You! (1/2)

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.”
