LEGEND OF THE CROWN PRINCESS

Episode 48 - Wedding

The next day, the sun gently swept through Yijin's room while Hu Yazhu who was already busy preparing a surprise for the woman was no longer seen in the room filled with gold and red decorations. After exiting Yijin's room, Hu Yazhu walked in the courtyard and then passed Huo Sijue who was about to meet Yijin.

"Hail Commander Hu, I intend to meet the emperor. Is it possible for me to meet him now?"

"The emperor is still asleep, he can't see anyone yet."

"My parents' businesses are in danger of piracy in the Middle East, if allowed I intend to resign from this post and will go to the Middle East to help them."

Hearing Sijue's statement, Hu Yazhu was a little stunned because that sudden decision would naturally affect Yijin's feelings more. "Officer Huo, does it have to be now? You know, after getting married later it's likely that I will often leave the palace. I don't know who else, I can trust Yijin when I'm not around."

"I see, I also know that Yijin was very saddened after the departure of Bei's advisor. However, this emergency must still force me to go to the Middle East. I don't know if the emperor agrees..."

"I agree," a soft but still implying firmness in his intonation was heard behind Hu Yazhu.

Sijue and Hu turned their heads simultaneously towards the source of the voice, Yijin who was already wearing purple hanfu then walked over to Sijue and Hu Yazhu. "But, can't it last a day to attend your best friend's wedding? I certainly will not hinder you as emperor. However, as your friend I feel quite sad that you left this sudden."

"Yijin, I know I'm sorry. Then, I'll hold my departure until tomorrow morning. I will attend your wedding with the Great General. I'm so happy for your marriage."

Yijin curled up a smile and tightened the outer robe he was wearing. As for Hu Yazhu, it was still unable to turn its gaze away from Yijin. Peach blossoms have bloomed in the royal courtyard. The atmosphere looks warm and beautiful, but somehow Yijin still feels cold and empty.

Her marriage to Hu Yazhu was for the sake of the people, the officials and ministers of the kingdom wanted a future successor and Yijin would give it to them. But given his power within the diminishing inner palace made him have to rack his brains for more support. He had just remembered about Master Ji being introduced by Bei. He must immediately invite Master Ji to help him cultivate and as long as he cultivates he will hand over his power to the prime minister.

"Can you wait in the flower pavilion? I will give you the proper dowry and all the surprises that I have prepared from far away. Even since you were still Ryu Ito."

"You prepared everything when I was Ryu? Are you really in love with Ryu? Then, who exactly do you want to marry, Ryu Ito or Wen Yijin?" Yijin leaned his body and looked up slightly to look at Hu Yazhu. The man of stout stature was seen blushing as Yijin watched him inside.

While Huo Sijue, like a deaf goat that only became a display among them. He shifted his gaze and tried to act normally to contain the feelings of disappointment he felt. "Then the emperor, the great general. Let me go out to tell my men about delaying my departure to the Middle East."

"Of course please!"

After Sijue's departure, Yijin looked back at Hu Yazhu with a smile on his face. "How much have you prepared?"

"There's so much... Yijin, are you drunk because Bei's advisor left the palace?"

Yijin chuckled as he touched the special emblem that only a great general possessed. "You're just guessing, I'm just too surprised after all this. I know, you are the one who understands me the most, so Hu Yazhu I am very happy for our marriage. I hope you won't mention that name again in front of me. Anyone, can't mention that name anymore."

After conversing for quite a while, Yijin immediately went to the flower pavilion to look forward to the handover Hu Yazhu would give her. There were fifty boxes containing valuables belonging to the Hu family, not only that but the relics of his mother Hu Yazhu were given specifically to the Yijin. Seeing Hu Yazhu's struggle and seriousness for him and the kingdom certainly made him feel a little pity and pleasure because he would marry a man as good as that.

Since childhood, Yijin was closest to Hu Yazhu compared to Long Chen. Yijin would always follow Hu Yazhu wherever and whenever they went to play out of the palace. Likewise with his father who made the man as a royal confidant, because his loyalty can not be doubted. His steadfast and principled soul makes anyone would love a dream son-in-law like Hu Yazhu.

Amidst her busy schedule to perform the wedding ceremony this afternoon, Akira and Grandpa Asahi help and accompany Yijin. Because they are the only ones left and the most reliable. Just imagine, when he just returned to the palace not long his father left for good not to mention the teacher and advisor who helped him to the throne went and did not know when he would return.

The power of the Yijin is so small that he has not yet begun his cultivation journey, as emperor even though all rules are under his tongue but he cannot be rash in acting. Everyone could take out a hidden weapon and stab him secretly if he looked weak. Marrying Hu Yazhu would increase the trust of the people in the Yijin to lead their country and several kingdoms under.

"Are you happy with all my gifts?"

"Of course, all this stuff I'll gladly accept."

The wedding ceremony was held sacrosanctly. Binding the wedding vows like in general because Yijin did not want any difference just because he was an emperor. Hu Yazhu was still with the title of his Great General, he refused to be given any titles other than that even though he had married the first female emperor of the Daehan Continent.

In the red sky Hongyun Continent, Bei felt relieved after witnessing directly from a magic cup the wedding procession of Yijin and Hu Yazhu. At least, Yijin is not alone and he believes that Hu Yazhu will protect Yijin and his future son. Recalling his conversation with the descendant goddess, Bei was slightly able to calm down. Since the babies created from the seeds will be born with the seeds of Hu Yazhu, they will be born as different twin brothers.

Thus, the possibility of the child cultivating and breaking through Hongyun Continent was very small when he was the son of Hu Yazhu. After the wedding in Qianqing Palace was over, there was a very shocking news from the border guards.

"Grand General, Grand General!"

"What's wrong?" Hu Yazhu approached the man quickly as he had just wanted to enjoy the party after the ceremony.

"The Long Kingdom decided to invade and wanted to break away from our territory."

"Why? Who's deploying the troops?"

"Prince Long Chen himself and his empress?"

"An empress?" Hu Yazhu and Yijin furrowed their brows together, whether since when Long Chen got married. But the news had not been penetrated into their ears before.

As emperor, Yijin immediately received the emergency news and ordered Hu Yazhu to go down directly to find out what was really going on at the border. Even though, today was his wedding day Yijin still wanted to put the safety of the people first and wanted to know the reason Long Chen attacked Wen Kingdom.
