Chapter 139 Li Shun's Fiancee
As summer arrives, the weather becomes hotter day by day, and the streets are filled with the fragrance of gardenias.
There are only eight or nine days left until June 17th, Yun Zhi’s eighteenth birthday.
But the palace had already been busy preparing for this day. Unlike the previous minor events, the other four countries would all send envoys to this banquet, and there must not be any mistakes.
at this time.
In Chen Yuanshu's general's mansion.
One month after the five countries signed the peaceful coexistence agreement, Yun Zhi recalled Chen Yuanshu and Li Shun.
Judging from the current situation, there will be no fighting in the short term, so why not let them come back and reunite with their families.
After leaving enough soldiers to defend the city, the two men rushed back from the city they were guarding.
This general's mansion was a reward for the two men's victory, one for each of them.
Chen Yuanshu liked this mansion very much, and moved in with his family after returning.
In the garden, a white butterfly landed on a blooming rose. When it sensed someone approaching, it spread its wings and flew away to the next flower.
The rose swayed slightly due to the wind brought by the person walking.
"General Chen is quite relaxed, enjoying the flowers and drinking tea. How pleasant."
Hearing the voice, Chen Yuanshu raised his head, looked at Li Shun who was striding towards him, and put down the teacup in his hand.
"How did you come?"
The two have known each other for so many years and have been through thick and thin together, so Li Shun naturally wouldn't be reserved or polite. He found a seat and sat down without Chen Yuanshu greeting him.
He picked up the teapot on the table with one hand and the upside-down teacup on the stone table with the other, and poured himself a cup of tea.
After taking a sip to relieve his thirst, he said, "I just want to ask you, what are you going to give His Majesty on his birthday? Our gifts can't be too different. Tell me so I can have a clear idea."
"It's the same as every year. I'm giving you jewelry. I don't see His Majesty having any particular preferences, so jewelry is definitely the right gift."
After all, jewelry is hard currency, who would dislike jewelry?
"However, this year is different from previous years. The other four nations will all send envoys to offer their congratulations. As per custom, gifts must be displayed, and our gifts cannot be too shabby, otherwise they will look down on us. Therefore, we have added some rare treasures to the gifts this time."
Since ancient times, gifts presented during the Wanshou Festival have been displayed.
Its purpose is to show respect and reverence to the monarch, and to demonstrate the wealth and strength of the country and individuals.
This part can also add some festive atmosphere.
Of course, this also made it easier for court historians to record.
Upon hearing this, Li Shun put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Okay, I have an idea now. I'll ask them to prepare it when I get back."
"By the way, are you getting married soon? Have you set a date? I can prepare a gift for you."
When this matter was mentioned, Li Shun scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I'm already 26 years old. Now that I've met a girl I like, of course I will get married. I'm looking at the wedding date, it should be in one or two months."
"Okay, I'll prepare a big gift for you then."
"Ha, then I'll take it without hesitation."
"When have you ever been polite about taking my things? Just...how did you and your fiancée meet?"
Although it has been more than a month since I came back, it still took a lot of time to deal with all these miscellaneous matters.
All Chen Yuanshu knew was a girl Li Shun brought back, named Mingyue, who was also his future wife.
Now that both of them are free, Chen Yuanshu, as a friend, couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Many girls had tried to court Li Shun before, but he rejected them all on the grounds of family and country.
Now he brought back a girl. When she first heard the news, she was surprised.
Therefore, she was really curious about how this person could move this ruthless man on the battlefield.
Hearing Chen Yuanshu's question, a gentle smile appeared on Li Shun's face unconsciously. "It's fate, we met last August."
"She only has her father in the family, and they depend on each other for survival. Her father is a doctor, so she learned medicine from him. The other day, I was out on patrol and happened to see her injured while collecting herbs in the mountains, so I had her sent back to the city for treatment."
"I thought I would never see him again, but I didn't expect to see him again not long after."
"That time, the current King of Yue sent 3,000 men to attack us, but we drove them away."
Chen Yuanshu knew about this incident. Not long after this incident, Ji Lingyan proclaimed himself emperor in Liangzhou.
"In order to win the battle quickly, there were more wounded soldiers. You know our custom. In order to get these soldiers treated as soon as possible, we will ask the doctors in the city to help with the treatment."
"I didn't expect that one of the doctors was her father. After a few visits, they became familiar with each other."
At this point, Li Shunlian's eyes were filled with love. "Chen Yuanshu, you don't know how good she is. She thought I was alone at the border and often brought me food. She was also very considerate, which made me feel less lonely over there."
Chen Yuanshu listened with great interest, "So that's how it is, but..."
She pursed her lips and said, "Have you investigated your sister-in-law's identity? We are different from ordinary people now, so we should be more cautious."
If it were someone else, Chen Yuanshu might not have said this, but because they had a good relationship, she had to bring it up when Li Shun was happy.
Of course, Li Shun knew that Chen Yuanshu meant well by her words.
"Of course I've checked. They were originally from Wen'an County, but moved here after the Yue Kingdom invaded. They're both ordinary people, born and raised there, and haven't had any contact with the other four kingdoms."
"That's good. You must treat me well in the future."
Li Shun chuckled, "Of course, my wife must treat her well."
Seeing him immersed in love, Chen Yuanshu couldn't help but joked, "Look at you now. You don't look like the majestic General Li anymore."
Li Shun looked at her with a look of confusion, "When you meet the right person, you'll understand how I feel. But you're twenty-one this year, right? Are you planning to marry a husband?"
"Let it be. There's no unification in the world right now, and I don't have that in mind. If I meet someone I like in the future, I'll get married. If not, I can live alone. Everyone has their own way of living, so just be happy."
Today, Chen Yuanshu has fulfilled his wish.
Now, no one tells her parents that the Chen family will have no descendants after she is born, and that girls are useless.
Nowadays, whenever Chen's father and mother go out, everyone praises them for having a good daughter.
She really hasn't thought much about her own future. Now all she wants is to unify the world.
I don’t have the time to think about anything else.
Li Shun nodded in agreement with Chen Yuanshu's words, "Yes, as long as you are happy, and with your ability, even if you want to marry a few men, there will be many men willing to do so."
Chen Yuanshu rolled her eyes at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why do I need so many husbands? Just the one who is in my heart is enough."
Maybe it’s because of the influence of her parents. If she really gets a husband, she hopes that they can support each other and live happily together until old age, just like her parents.
Seeing Chen Yuanshu's eye roll, Li Shun laughed heartily. "It was just a joke, just a joke, but if you have someone you like, you must tell us. We have to let him know that you have a huge army behind you, and he can't bully you."
Chen Yuanshu smiled slightly and nodded, "Okay, if that day ever comes, I will definitely not hide it from you."
Li Shun picked up the teacup and drank the tea in it. "Speaking of which, for His Majesty's birthday this time, we must be extremely alert and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Hearing this, Chen Yuanshu's expression grew serious. "Of course. Although the four nations are friends now, they all harbor evil intentions. We must be careful and on guard."
