Lin Zhanyuan noted that Brother Rabbit had grown up a lot compared to when he was a child, but he still smiled very gently. It was also a rather warm feeling to hold Brother Rabbit’s hand. Lin Ting then asked with a smile, “I have raised many small animals, such as kittens, rabbits, foxes, and squirrels. Oh, there is a big wild boar as well. Does the Sixth Brother want to stay with me in the future?”
Lin Zhanyuan opened his eyes wide, “Big wild boar!”
Lin Ting laughed, “Yes, a big wild boar.”
He clapped his hands and smiled happily, “Okay! I want to raise big wild boars with Brother Rabbit!”
The Qin Mountain was located near the southern part of the empire and was also close to River Huai. Hence, it would be convenient for Lin Feilu to visit him in the future.
Since this was the best arrangement for both countries, Lin Feilu nodded in agreement.
Everything was properly arranged, and one month after Emperor Lin was buried in the imperial mausoleum, the delegation from the Song Empire arrived at the capital of the Great Lin Empire.
This time, thousands of troops from the Song Empire came to pick up the bride. Not only did they hand over the Emperor’s edict to wed Princess Yong An, they even presented a lot of dowry, which seemed like a very sincere act. When the Ministry of Rites presented the list of gifts to the Emperor, Lin Qing was shocked.
The dowry was practically a mountain of premium-graded items. In ancient tradition, the contents of a woman’s dowry differed depending on the bride’s status. This meant that the dowries between civilian girls, noble girls, Empresses, and Consorts were all different. According to the list, the betrothal gifts sent by the Song Empire were all in accordance with the status of an Empress.
The marriage edict only declared that he wanted to marry the Princess, but did not state that she was to be appointed as the Empress. Hence, Lin Qing was very puzzled by the Song Emperor’s intentions.
Everything was arranged properly as the Royal Astronomy Supervisors selected an auspicious day. Lin Feilu put on her grandest Princess robes and bid farewell to everyone one by one. Then, she stepped onto the gorgeously framed carriage amidst the officials that shouted, ‘may the Princess live for thousands of years’.
Lin Jingyuan, as the royal family’s representative, led the sixteen guards of the capital to see Princess Yong An off.
In the eyes of the common people, Princess Yong An exchanged herself for their peace. How could they not be moved?
Boohoo, they heard that the Emperor of the Song Empire killed others like a hemp and was terribly abnormal. It truly seemed pitiful for the Princess to go without knowing what kind of torture she would endure. Was this the duty of being a Princess? How great of a sacrifice she’s willing to make…
Meanwhile, princess Yong An, who everyone greatly misunderstood, was taking off her heavy costume in the carriage. Afterwards, she sat cross-legged comfortably on a soft pillow, waiting for Songyu to peel some oranges for her to eat.
Songyu was a little sad at first, but upon seeing the Princess’s behavior, she couldn’t feel down anymore. While peeling the orange, she asked, “Princess, are you really not sad?”
Lin Feilu said, “What’s there to be so sad about? It feels just like I’m immigrating. Plus, I still got the green card from both countries, so I’ll return whenever I want to.”
Songyu, “…but the journey is long.”
Lin Feilu, “Indeed, but we don’t need to use our legs to walk. Isn’t that what horses are used for?”
Songyu, “…”
Lin Feilu rejoiced, “I’m going to experience a new life and open up new roads. I heard that mountains and rivers surround the Song Empire, so there should be a lot of seafood.”
Songyu realized that she no longer felt sad about the move.
