In the Capital City.
Several days had passed, yet there was still no progress on the Champion Marquis case, but the day of the diplomatic marriage with the Turkic princess was drawing nearer.
The Ministry of Revenue was intensely preparing food supplies, weaving machines, and cloth, waiting to send them immediately to the Turkic Grassland as soon as Emperor Jing and Princess Yujia completed the marriage ceremony.
These past few days, Princess Yujia, residing in the guesthouse of Honglu Temple, would secretly slip out every day after the teaching nanny left, to stroll around the Brocade Workshop, have some tea, or chat with Tang Xiaotong.
The glazed tiles of Honglu Temple shimmered with a cool light under the summer sun.
Princess Yujia leaned against the carved window lattice, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing the wolf fang pendant around her neck.
This was the necklace her father, the khan, personally put on her during her coming-of-age ceremony.
