"Assistant Minister of Rites, explain to Princess Ning and Prime Minister Zhang what the Rite of Heqi is? Initially, were Princess Ning and Prince Ning considered husband and wife in their relationship?"
The Assistant Minister of Rites was forcefully brought forward, first saluted the Emperor, then separately saluted Gu Youyou and Prime Minister Zhang, before asking Gu Youyou, "Dare I ask Princess Ning, when you and Prince Ning got married, did you have the wedding ceremony?"
Gu Youyou replied, "No, I was seriously ill at the time, so that part was skipped."
Everyone showed a look of surprise, as they saw the Assistant Minister of Rites ask again, "Then, was anything used to replace the wedding ceremony for Princess Ning?"
"No, there was nothing!"
The expressions in everyone's eyes grew even stranger.
Prime Minister Zhang slowly had a somber look and didn't look pleased.
"Then did you drink the Heqi wine, perform the Rite of the Zhou?"
