Su Jinli quickly and respectfully accepted the lotus seed soup, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She said gratefully, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness. Jinli will definitely live up to your expectations." She bowed her head slightly, tears of emotion gleaming in her eyes. In this palace, the Queen Mother's care was like a beacon in the darkness, giving her warmth and strength.
After leaving the palace, the bright sunshine poured down on the two of them without reservation, as if covering them with a layer of golden gauze. Jiang Yan gently took Su Jinli's hand. His hand was warm and strong, as if it could convey an endless sense of security. Jiang Yan's face was filled with a relaxed smile, like a flower blooming in spring. He said softly, "It seems that the emperor also believes what Wang Banxian said."
Su Jinli raised her eyebrows playfully, a playful and lively smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she teased: "It's because he is our number one CP fan. The emperor may be looking forward to this coming true more than we do." That smile was like the sunshine in spring, bright and warm, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze.
As they spoke, the sound of rapid, powerful horse hooves suddenly rang out in the distance, like the pounding of drums, shattering the momentary silence. Young Marquis Su, atop a tall, handsome steed, charged towards them with a swift gust of wind. He waved a piece of paper and excitedly shouted, "Sister! Brother Jiang Yan! Look!" His voice was filled with energy and joy, as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret.
When he came closer, Su Jinli and Jiang Yan took a closer look and found that there was a humorous and interesting doggerel on the paper: "The Prime Minister's family has a daughter, Su Jinli, who is so lucky in bringing good fortune to her husband. If the number one scholar marries her, he will become the Prime Minister sooner or later!" Although the handwriting was a little childish, it revealed an air of innocence.
Su Jinli and Jiang Yan looked at the limerick and couldn't help but smile at each other. Their smiles expressed both the emotion of this wonderful experience and their boundless longing for a better life in the future. On this sunny day, their laughter was like a melodious note, echoing joyfully in the air, as if all the gloom had vanished, leaving only a suffusing happiness and sweetness. That laughter seemed to be their farewell to the hardships of the past and their anticipation for a better life in the future.
As time slowly passed, the people of the capital city looked forward to the wedding of Su Jinli and Jiang Yan more and more. On the streets and alleys, the topics people talked about were no longer those malicious rumors. Instead, they were sincere blessings to the newlyweds and beautiful imaginations of their future beautiful life. The elderly recalled the love stories of their youth and lamented the difficulties of Su Jinli and Jiang Yan; the children listened to the adults' stories about the newlyweds with curiosity, their eyes shining with longing; the young lovers took Su Jinli and Jiang Yan as their role models and cherished their feelings for each other even more. Su Jinli and Jiang Yan truly felt the deep kindness and strong support from the people of the capital city, which made them cherish their hard-earned feelings even more and strengthened their determination to walk through life together.
During the days of wedding preparation, Su Jinli and Jiang Yan were immersed in a busy yet happy atmosphere. Jiang Yan diligently handled government affairs at court every day. In that court full of power struggles and disputes, he relied on his wisdom and talent to handle various complex situations with ease. And whenever he finished his work, he would eagerly take time out and rush back to the prime minister's residence to discuss every detail of the wedding with Su Jinli. They carefully selected every item for the wedding, from the gorgeous and intricately embroidered wedding dress to the exquisite and dazzling jewelry. Each choice was filled with their beautiful expectations for their future life. They carefully considered every detail, striving to make this wedding the most perfect testimony to their love.
At the Prime Minister's residence, Su Jinli, along with Su Qingyao and Lingge, threw herself into wedding preparations. Su Qingyao, with her intelligence and mastery of etiquette, acted like a seasoned conductor, guiding Su Jinli through the meticulous process. From the wedding procession to the guest reception etiquette, she meticulously considered every detail, helping Su Jinli create a flawless wedding. Lingge, like a diligent little bee, busied herself tirelessly. She meticulously decorated the bridal chamber, creating a warm, romantic, and sweet atmosphere, while meticulously checking all necessary items to ensure nothing was overlooked. A perpetual smile lit her face, and she felt immense pride in being able to participate in the preparations for the young lady's wedding.
And Young Marquis Su, a lively, active and energetic young man, was not to be outdone. He spent the whole day like a little tail, circling around Su Jinli and Jiang Yan. Sometimes he would take the initiative to help run errands, whether it was going to the market to buy wedding supplies or delivering invitations to relatives and friends, he would run happily; sometimes he would be like a little magpie, bringing them all kinds of interesting news, or the latest anecdotes in the capital, or the expectations and blessings of people on the streets for the wedding. He was becoming more and more satisfied with Jiang Yan, his future brother-in-law, and often pestered Jiang Yan to teach him how to read and practice martial arts. Jiang Yan also always patiently guided him, from poetry and songs to military strategies, from swordsmanship to horseback riding and archery, he imparted his knowledge and skills to Young Marquis Su without reservation. In the process, the relationship between the three of them became deeper and deeper, and they were as close as a family.
During this process, Su Jinli and Jiang Yan did not forget those who had helped them. They specially selected a sunny day, brought generous gifts, and personally visited Wang Banxian. After meeting Wang Banxian, they sincerely expressed their gratitude for his active cooperation in this crisis. Wang Banxian looked at the loving couple in front of him, his heart full of emotion. Su Jinli and Jiang Yan not only gave him a generous reward so that he could improve his embarrassing life, but also expressed deep respect for him. Wang Banxian's gratitude to them was beyond words, and he would talk about the good things of Su Jinli and Jiang Yan to everyone he met, praising their kindness and gratitude. In his mouth, Su Jinli and Jiang Yan seemed to have become the most perfect couple in the world, and their story was also spread by him with exaggeration, so that more people were full of blessings and praise for the newlyweds.
