  After Liu Gonggong finished proclaiming the imperial edict, Baili Yongjia, who had been waiting outside the Xia Manor, finally got into her carriage and left for the Jing Wang Fu.

  That afternoon, Liu Gonggong personally came to the door and brought several auspicious days selected by the Imperial Observatory and a batch of betrothal gifts bestowed by the Emperor.

  The Empress Dowager hastily dispatched a personal maid to Qinglan Garden to summon Baili Yongzheng after seeing off Liu Gonggong. Although she wasn't entirely satisfied with this marriage, thinking that having no son was more pressing than anything else, she still rushed to have the wedding done quickly for good luck.

  Thinking of this, Jing Wangfei temporarily put aside other thoughts and focused on the auspicious days selected by the Imperial Observatory, considering which day to choose for the wedding.

  The maid who went to Qinglan Garden soon invited Baili Rongyin to come to Su Garden.

  The queen smiled and beckoned him to sit beside her, then handed over a red paper with several auspicious days written on it to Baili Rongyin. Pointing to the top one, she said, "Rongyin, look, now that we're approaching the end of the year, this year's last auspicious day has already passed. The ones selected by the Imperial Observatory are for next year. I just took a look and let's set our wedding date on January 6th of next year. After the New Year, it won't be long before we can get married."

  She wanted to get married as soon as possible and bring good luck to Jin'er, so she chose the most auspicious day.

  Baili Rongjin furrowed his brow, now it's October 14th, and there are only a few short days until January 6th of next year, with such a hasty time, I'm afraid many things can't be prepared in time.

  He shook his head and said, "It's not suitable, the time is too hasty, many things can't be prepared properly. Let's choose another day." He didn't want to inconvenience her at that time.

  The queen was slightly unhappy. "Then which day do you want to choose?" She had already agreed to accept the other party into the palace, but she just wanted to get the wedding over with as soon as possible. Although the time was a bit rushed, the other party was just a concubine's daughter, and what kind of grandeur could they possibly expect?

  She carefully looked at several auspicious days, and after some thought, she said, "Let's set it for tomorrow, March 3rd. Two months should be enough time for the Wang family to prepare for the wedding."

  He didn't want to humiliate her by hastily preparing and marrying her, but he also didn't want to postpone the wedding for too long. Two months should be enough.

  The queen raised an eyebrow "Won't it be a bit too late? Let's move forward a bit more."

  "Baili Rongjin turned his head to look at the quiet Wangfei, 'Mother, don't be like this. Uncle has already decreed the marriage, and soon she will be my wife. I don't want to wrong her. You should put your mind at ease and not always worry about her status. Also, it's not just the wedding that needs to be prepared properly, the betrothal gifts cannot be lacking either.'"

  He didn't know what his mother was thinking about, wasn't it just that she felt her status wasn't good enough for him?

  The queen's face sank, and she said somewhat gloomily, "Then how much dowry do you think should be taken over?"

  "Mother said before that there were 248 coffers, let's give according to this number. We must choose the good ones."

  The queen was even more depressed, wanting to say something else, but seeing her son's determined expression, she finally compromised reluctantly. Forget it, anyway, they will all be married and can't change, just give in.

  As the New Year's Eve was approaching, Xia Tingjing got up early and made a list for the servants to go out and buy goods.

  Today I got up a bit early again, so I took advantage of this time to come to the kitchen and plan to cook a few exquisite breakfast dishes.

  She first put the washed purple rice and glutinous rice into a porcelain pot, added clear water to boil over high heat, then changed to low heat to simmer slowly. Then made red date wolfberry steamed eggs, fragrant stir-fried rice, red bean glutinous rice cakes, pan-fried fruit pancakes, crystal-clear crystal shrimp dumplings, etc.

  The nimble hands were wrapping the wonton wrappers one by one with fresh shrimp, when Late Jade hastily walked in and whispered into Xia Ting's ear, "Miss, King Jing's prince is waiting for you at the side door."

  Xia Ting was taken aback, how did he come. He put down the dumplings in his hand, cleaned his hands and took Wan Yu out of the kitchen to the side door.

  It wasn't until they heard Wan Yu's explanation along the way that they realized what had happened. Earlier, a young servant who was guarding the side door came to Li Yuan and said that someone from the other side of the side door wanted to see her. Wan Yu found it strange, but when she went over, she discovered that the man looking for her was actually one of the guards who always followed the quiet king's son. A beautifully decorated carriage was parked outside the side door, and at a glance, they knew that the quiet king's son had come to find their young lady. However, it wasn't convenient to explain this to the servant guarding the door, so he had quietly brought her out first.

  As expected, she had just walked out of the side door when she heard the guard say, "Miss, would you please inform your young lady that the prince has invited her?"

  She hastily ran back to tell Xia Ting about this matter.

  They arrived at the side gate of the Xia residence, where a delicate and beautiful carriage was parked. The guard standing beside it bowed upon seeing Xia Ting Cong approach, saying "Miss Xia, please get on the carriage."

  Xia Ting nodded and gave some silver coins to the little gatekeeper, instructing him not to leak any news, just pretend he hadn't seen anything.

  Then, with the support of Late Jade, she got on the carriage and gently lifted the curtain to get in.

  The carriage was warm inside, unlike the cold outside. She saw Baili Rongyin sitting quietly inside, looking at her, which made her a little nervous.

  But he saw the other party lightly smile, stretch out his hand to support her to sit down beside him.

  Due to his physical condition, his hands were a bit cold, unlike hers which was warm.

  Xia Ting collected her slightly tense heart and calmly looked at him, saying "How did you end up coming over?"

  She originally thought she would have to wait until her wedding day to see him again.

  "Baili Yongjin smiled and said, 'I came over as soon as I finished attending court. There are some things I'd like to discuss with you.'"

  It's been a few days since he last saw her, and it seems like he misses her. Once they get married, he'll be able to look at her every day just like now.

  Xia Ting asked somewhat puzzled, "Is it about our marriage? What's wrong, speak up, I'm listening."

  Baili Rongjin looked at Xia Ting with a gentle gaze, "The wedding date has been set, it will be on March 6th of next year. There are still about two months left, and the Wang family will make preparations for the wedding."

  Xia Ting's expression showed some surprise "Next year's March 6th? I thought it would be much earlier than that."

  After all, he is going to get married and she originally thought she would be married early, but unexpectedly there are still two months left.

  "In a few days, someone from the Wang Fu will come to deliver the betrothal gifts. According to custom, I won't be able to come over, and it's also not suitable for us to meet before the wedding. But if you have anything urgent, just write a letter and have someone bring it to the Qing Wang Fu and give it to Qing Yu, and I'll receive it."

  His ink jade-like beautiful eyes made her stunned for a moment.

  "Just a faint smile 'I know, if anything happens I'll find you.'"

  His words only revealed one meaning, that he would not let her suffer. She had not yet married him, and he was already treating her like this, considering everything for her.

  Baili Rongjin saw that she agreed and also relaxed the corners of her mouth, her slender and delicate hand took over the wooden box placed on one side and handed it to Xia Tingcong.

  Xia Ting looked at the sandalwood box in front of her, which was carved with delicate patterns, and looked at Baili Rongjin with confusion, "What is this?"

  "Just open it and you'll see."

  Xia Ting blinked and gently pushed open the lid of the wooden box, only to see a soft, shimmering blue light emanating from within.

  Digression

  Everyone, warmth continues tomorrow!
