In the spring of the second year after arriving in Qimuru Prefecture, Tian An received a letter from Wu Yufei, which told him many interesting and important things in the capital.
One of them was that Ding'an Marquis Mu Chenke returned victorious from the battle against the Dongyi Kingdom and publicly proposed to Princess Yongjia in the hall.
The emperor never expected that the person Mu Chenke asked him to marry during the war was actually his own daughter. Even though he was the one who got hurt, the emperor had to fulfill his promise.
Moreover, Mu Chenke herself was a very good person, and now she had regained her former charm, so she was worthy of Yongjia. Therefore, the emperor readily issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage, and the wedding date was set for June.
The other thing is also a happy event, that is the marriage of Wei Lingran and Wu Hongyi.
The Wei family was originally afraid that the men of the Wu family would always go to the battlefield and bring trouble to their own daughter. But now that the world is unified, there will be no more wars to fight in the future. The men of the Wu family have made great contributions in this battle and have a bright future. They have become popular.
In addition to the unmarried Wu Hongyi, even the married Wu Hongkun and Wu Hongjing were coveted by various families. Even if they did not have the position of legal wife, many families were eager to send their daughters to be concubines.
However, the men of the Wu family did not take concubines, and Wu Hongyi was only thinking about Wei Lingran. As soon as he came back from the Northern Territory, he personally asked Madam Wu to go with him to propose marriage.
Because of the previous incident, the Wei family felt ashamed to face the mother and son of the Wu family, but fortunately, the Wu family were all people of true nature and did not care about the previous incident.
At this point, the two families put aside their grudges and focused solely on their children. After completing the three letters and six betrothal gifts, the wedding date was set for October, four months after the princess's wedding.
Tian An put away the letter and was truly happy for the two couples. But while wishing them well, he also needed to start preparing gifts.
But what should I give as a gift?
Jewelry is a must, but in addition to these, you also need to prepare some things carefully.
Wei Lingran was fine. They were all good sisters and had known this day would come, so Tian An had already embroidered a set of screens herself. She just needed to send a message back and ask Madam Xiao to deliver it to Lingran on her behalf.
But what should I give Princess Yongjia? According to the rules, she even calls me cousin-in-law! I need to think carefully about this gift.
Tian An always remembered this incident, but although she had contact with Yongjia, she really didn't know her very well. She thought for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable gift.
It was not until the evening when Zhao Yiming saw that she was restless while eating and asked her about it that she told him what was worrying her.
"You are his cousin after all. Do you know what Yongjia likes?" Although he knew that he and Yongjia might not have as much in common as himself, Tian An was helpless at the moment and just asked casually.
Zhao Yiming put down his chopsticks, swallowed the food in his mouth, thought for a moment and said, "Yongjia is a princess. If she gets married, she will definitely have no shortage of jewelry. You don't have to worry too much. Just do your best to show your support."
Tian An frowned, "That being said, I always feel that I can give her something more meaningful..."
She always felt that there was something missing from Yongjia and Mu Chenke's wedding, and it was something she could give, but she just couldn't remember what it was.
"Something more meaningful?" Zhao Yiming thought about what Tian An said, and after a while he really thought of it.
"If you can restore Lord Mu's facial injuries to their original state, it will be more meaningful to them than receiving any treasures."
Tian An's eyes lit up, "Oh right, that's it! I was wondering how I could have forgotten something so important!"
In his excitement, Tian An didn't care that they were eating. He turned around and kissed Zhao Yiming on the cheek.
Zhao Yiming was stunned for a moment, then his eyes darkened, and he subconsciously put his arm around Tian An's waist, "Are you full?"
Tian An didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at all. He shook his head, picked up the dishes on the table and prepared to show off. "I was just busy thinking about things! I didn't even have time to eat. Now that I have thought things through, I feel that the food has become more delicious."
Zhao Yiming nodded and said, "Hurry up and eat. I'll tell you something later after you finish eating."
Tian An was confused. "Why can't we talk about it now? We have to wait until later."
Zhao Yiming said nothing, his eyes becoming increasingly deep as he watched her eat two large bowls of rice with a great appetite.
Mm! Eat more, eat more so you can have more energy later...
In mid-April, Yaoyao received a letter from Tian An. After reading it, she went to find Mu Chenke early the next morning with the medicine that came with the letter.
"How come the Sixth Princess has time to visit my humble abode today?"
Mu Chenke, who was busy decorating his new house, was a little puzzled when he heard Yaoyao coming to his house. The two of them had no private relationship, and he really couldn't think of the reason why Yaoyao came to his house.
Yaoyao took out the medicine that Tian An had brought back and placed it on the table in front of her, saying, "This princess is here to deliver a wedding gift to the fifth princess on behalf of my master."
"The Sixth Princess's master, the wife of Duke Zhao?"
"But since we are sending a gift to the Fifth Princess, why is the Sixth Princess coming to me?" Mu Chenke was a little confused. He really didn't know what they were up to.
Yaoyao pushed the medicine bottle on the table and said, "That's right, this princess is looking for you. Does Lord Mu want to bear this face for the rest of his life and let this grand wedding of you and my fifth sister be a regret?"
"Face, could it be..."
Mu Chenke thought of the rumors he had heard before, that the long-lost general's wife had a wound on her face when she returned, and it was no less serious than the wound on his face. But when he thought of the general's wife he had seen a few days ago...
He immediately looked at Yaoyao excitedly, "Sixth Princess, is this really possible?"
If the scar on the face could be removed, who would be willing to have such a face all day long!
Yaoyao confidently pointed at the medicine on the table and said, "Don't worry! My master has already arranged everything for you. Use this medicine to apply to the wound every day. In half a month, this princess will come to perform the debridement surgery on you. I guarantee that you will be back to your former handsome self before your wedding."
…
On the auspicious day of June 16th, the princess got married. Ding'an Marquis Mu Chenke, who was rumored to have a disfigured face, wore a silver mask and rode a tall horse to the palace to welcome the princess's wedding sedan.
This was the first happy event in the harem after the unification of the world, and the emperor and empress personally sent Yongjia off.
Mu Chenke naturally could not wear the mask when meeting the emperor, but when he took off the mask, everyone discovered that the groom in the red wedding gown had actually been "changed into a different person."
The handsome man in front of him was nothing like the disfigured Marquis Ding'an.
If there hadn't been someone with sharp eyes who recognized the person in front of him as Ding'an Marquis Mu Chenke when his face was intact, it would have been a real joke.
The emperor and empress had naturally received the news early on, so they appeared extremely calm at the moment. However, although they did not show it on their faces, their surprise was no less than that of everyone present.
You know, Mu Chenke's face had an old injury and no doctor dared to touch it. I didn't expect that Tian An could cure it.
When Yongjia saw Mu Chenke's flawless face at this moment, his gratitude towards Tian An reached a new level. This gift really touched the hearts of the couple.
Although Lady Protector of the Nation did not attend the princess's wedding in person, the gift she sent was the largest among all the others.
