The Eighth Prince was conferred the title of Prince Wei. Since he was to stay in the capital to assist the Crown Prince, no fief was granted to him for the time being.
A month after he was conferred Prince Wei, he married Lady Xie Ning, a daughter from a collateral branch of the Xie family. On the day of his wedding, Zhao Yao accompanied him to receive the bride.
With the support of the Crown Prince and the Duke Zhen Country Mansion, Prince Wei's wedding was grand and lively. The Crown Prince believed Prince Wei's wedding should not be outshone by Prince Chu's, so he deliberately supported Prince Wei.
After his marriage, Prince Wei continued to work alongside the Crown Prince. Due to his increasingly strong capabilities, both the Crown Prince and Duke Zhen held him in higher regard. Now he has become an indispensable confidant by the Crown Prince's side.
