King Zhang found himself in a predicament. He wanted to cancel the upcoming wedding of his beloved third daughter, Princess Mirai, to Emperor Zhou Keung of the neighboring kingdom, Wisteria.
To bring his plan to fruition, King Zhang sought the assistance of the high priest, a wise and trusted advisor known for his cunning mind. The king and the high priest conspired in secret chambers, their voices hushed and their minds set on achieving their shared goal. It was during these clandestine meetings that they devised a plan that would buy them the precious time they needed. They invited the emperor to the king's chamber.
When the emperor arrived when he recovered from his injury, the high priest greeted him with warmth and respect. Sensing an opportunity to delay the wedding further, the high priest proclaimed that an auspicious day, three months hence, would be the perfect time for the grand celebration. He claimed that on the fifth day of August, when winter's chill was at its peak, the wedding should take place.
In the secluded chamber, the high priest began his artful negotiation. Knowing that time was of the essence, he devised a clever ploy. "Your Majesty," he spoke with utmost respect, "today is indeed an auspicious day, but our traditions dictate that the most fortuitous time for a union such as this is three months from now, on the fifth day of August."
Emperor Zhou Keung was slightly taken aback by the suggested delay.
Emperor Zhou, intrigued by the priest's words, inquired further.
"Why three months, good priest? And why on the fifth day of August?"
With a calm smile, the high priest explained, "Your Majesty, this particular day aligns harmoniously with the celestial movements, ensuring that the marriage will be blessed with good fortune and prosperity. Furthermore, it falls one month after Princess Mirai's birthday, a time of celebration and joy."
The emperor, swayed by the priest's wisdom and the allure of celestial auspices, readily agreed. Delighted by the prospects of a grand wedding, he graciously thanked the high priest and returned to his chambers to prepare for his departure.
In his private chambers, Emperor Zhou instructed his servants to prepare for their departure from Adarlan. Excitement filled the air as the news of the delayed wedding spread throughout the palace. The king's plan was set in motion, and his daughter's future looked brighter than ever.
However, before leaving, the emperor desired a final meeting with Mirai to bid her farewell. He sent his loyal confidant, Tianlan, to deliver the news to the princess.
