Chapter 146 Li Shun's Wedding
When Qin Wan went to the Liao Kingdom, Li Shun's request for marriage leave was successfully approved.
The wedding date is set for August 3rd.
Yun Zhi had no intention of interfering in the marriage affairs of her subjects.
But the timing of Li Shun's fiancée's appearance was too delicate, and the current situation was not good, which made Yun Zhi suspect that she was a spy sent by another country.
Therefore, when Li Shungang brought back the father and daughter, Yun Zhi sent people to Wen'an County to inquire.
They also sent people to observe the words and actions of the father and daughter to see if there was anything suspicious.
This investigation was much more detailed than Li Shun's last one, and it covered almost three generations of ancestors.
But the results were very good.
That's right, it would be so obvious who planted the spy.
The Ming family father and daughter, natives of Wen'an County, are ordinary civilians.
There were no talented people among my ancestors. They were just common people who made a living by farming.
Ming's father later went to a medical clinic as an apprentice in order to find a way to make a living because his family's land was severely annexed and he had no land to farm.
After learning some basic knowledge, he used his savings to open a small clinic.
His medical skills are only mediocre. He can treat minor injuries and illnesses, but he is powerless against more serious illnesses.
Therefore, the income is not too much, but it is enough to support the family.
As for Li Shun's fiancée, Ming Yue, it was Ming's father who delivered her himself.
It was late at night and it was drizzling. Ming's mother accidentally fell when she got up at night, resulting in premature birth of the baby.
At this time, it was difficult to find a midwife, and the baby's head was exposed. Helplessly, Ming's father could only rely on the midwifery skills he learned from books.
Fortunately, mother and daughter are safe.
Later, Ming's mother died when Mingyue was ten years old, and Ming's father began to raise Mingyue alone.
The reason they moved here was because Ji Xun's army had reached Wen'an County and, in order to collect food and fodder, they exploited the people here.
In desperation, Ming's father took his daughter and left his hometown.
The people Yun Zhi sent to observe brought back news that there was nothing unusual.
So, when Li Shun applied for marriage leave, Yun Zhi quickly approved it.
In a blink of an eye, it was August 2nd, the eve of the wedding.
In the royal palace, in the royal study.
"Sister, are you going to General Li's wedding this time? Or can I go alone?"
In private, when only his family is around, Yun Jingxian still likes to call Yun Zhi his sister, and refers to himself as "I" instead of "this king".
Yun Zhi put down the memorial in her hand and rubbed her brow. The official business was piling up like a mountain. "General Li was one of the first people to follow me, and he has made many contributions. I think he should go, but he probably won't stay for long."
Yun Jingxian nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go first. Staying there for a day will also show our Yun family's attitude."
On the other side, Li Shun was extremely excited about getting married tomorrow.
It is never a good idea for a woman to marry into the man's family, so some time ago, Li Shun bought a mansion and brought the father and daughter in.
The Yun family soldiers who were helping the Li family prepare were also his good friends. When they saw him like this, they almost rolled their eyes to the sky.
"Brother Li, stop being silly and come join us. We'll be the ones who'll be most tired from your marriage."
Li Shun finally came back to his senses and ran over with a smile, "Haha, thank you for your hard work. I will definitely thank you well after this is done."
While everyone was busy, they teased Li Shun.
Chen Yuanshu, who was hanging a red silk on the side, hung it up and then jumped down from it nimbly.
Looking at the red silk hanging in the middle, Chen Yuanshu nodded with satisfaction.
"Li Shun, tomorrow I will go to the Ming family with Zhao Pan'er, Liu Yucui and the others, and we will be Ming Yue's family members."
"Really? That's great! Thank you so much! I'll definitely reward you handsomely when the time comes."
Seeing Li Shun's excitement, Chen Yuanshu quickly denied it, "No, we're not going there because of you. It's really because Mingyue is so kind. It's really a bargain for you."
They first contacted Mingyue because she was Li Shun's fiancée, and she didn't know anyone else except her father and the Li family.
Unexpectedly, as they got to know each other, they found that Mingyue was really a very good girl. She was gentle, kind, brave and enthusiastic.
If others treat her 50% well, she will return the favor 100%.
Ever since they met, every time she went to the parade ground to see Li Shun, she would always bring them some food she cooked herself.
In short, very good.
Li Shun laughed even more happily at Chen Yuanshu's words, and said modestly, "That's right, don't you see what I, Li Shun, think?"
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was cheerful.
Soon, August 3rd arrived, and the whole county was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Mingyue sat in front of the dressing table and let the matchmaker dress her up.
Chen Yuanshu, Zhao Paner and Liu Yucui helped to organize various accessories and clothes.
Looking at the three people surrounding her in the mirror, Ming Yue pursed her lips and smiled, even her eyes curved.
"That's great! I thought my father would be the only one accompanying me when I got married, but I didn't expect to meet you. Thank you."
Looking at the person whose eyes were slowly turning red, Chen Yuanshu patted her shoulder and said, "It's not the right time to cry on a happy occasion."
Mingyue nodded, holding back the tears that were about to flow, "Yeah."
"Mingyue, from today on, you are Li Shun's wife. If he dares to bully you, just tell us."
Listening to Chen Yuanshu's words, her face was filled with a happy smile, and even her eyes were full of longing for the future. "I have my sisters to protect me, so he wouldn't dare."
Just then, the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums came from outside, and the wedding procession arrived.
Mingyue walked out of the room with the help of matchmaker.
Li Shun originally thought that having Chen Yuanshu and others accompany Mingyue would make her less nervous and afraid.
Unexpectedly, it really added a lot of difficulties to himself, and made Li Shun wonder if he had offended them before.
After going through many difficulties, he finally picked up his wife before the auspicious time.
Li Shun rode a horse and led the wedding procession back in a grand manner.
The Li Mansion is now crowded with guests waiting for the newlyweds.
Li Shun dismounted and led Mingyue out of the sedan chair. The two of them stepped over the brazier together and walked into the hall.
Just as they were about to bow down, a female official shouted from outside, "The Emperor has arrived."
Everyone was shocked and knelt down to greet him.
Yun Zhi, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked into the lobby surrounded by people.
"Everyone, get up! Today is General Li's big day, and I've come to congratulate you."
With Yunzhi's arrival, the whole wedding reached its climax.
What an honor it is to have His Majesty come to congratulate us.
Li Shun did not expect that His Majesty would come. After all, the imperial edict of reward had come down early in the morning, and Yun Jingxian, the Prince of Rui, had also arrived.
Li Shun quickly pulled Ming Yue to express his gratitude.
Yun Zhi looked at Li Shun and Ming Yue with a faint smile on her face. "General Li has made great contributions to the country. Now he has found such a good match. It is truly a blessing."
"It's almost the auspicious time, you guys should get married."
With Yunzhi as witness, Li Shun and Ming Yue completed their wedding ceremony.
Shortly after the wedding ceremony, Yun Zhi got up and prepared to return to the palace, thinking that there was still a lot of official business to be dealt with.
Li Shun and Ming Yue hurriedly saw Yun Zhi off.
After Yunzhi left, the wedding continued, and the guests toasted each other, making it very lively.
And because of Yunzhi's arrival, this wedding has become a beautiful story.
