In Li Xingran's secret realm, Li Xingran took Xiao Sheng on a tour of modern civilization.
Xiao Sheng looked at the cars speeding down the street, and saw airplanes, ships, rockets, and cannons.
It turns out that Nanchen Kingdom is far inferior to modern times!
Xiao Sheng's expression immediately fell.
Li Xingran squeezed his hand.
"You have done very well. It will take another hundred years for Nanchen Kingdom to become like modern society."
However, without you, the Southern Chen Kingdom would never have reached this point, even in another thousand years. Therefore, you are a good emperor.
"Xingran, thank you!"
"Xiao Sheng, thank you too. Thank you for not treating me like a monster."
“Back then, you heard my true feelings. If you didn’t believe me, if you weren’t an open-minded and ambitious person, you could have killed me in my infancy.”
"Thank you for sparing my life," Li Xingran said to Xiao Sheng with a smile.
“How could I possibly regard you as a monster? The moment I heard your first words, I went back to test my father. It really is as you said.”
"Xingran, from now on, I'll go wherever you go. Will you ever dislike me?"
"No, don't worry!"
Xiao Sheng hugged Li Xingran tightly.
"Xingran, is it okay for me to do this? Can I hug you now?"
"Fool, you've already hugged me, and you're only asking now?" Li Xingran looked at Xiao Sheng with a smile on her lips.
Xiao Sheng felt his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to break. He realized what it felt like to hold the woman he loved.
He wanted more.
Looking at Li Xingran's bright red lips, Xiao Sheng lowered his head and covered them with his own.
The feeling of holding Li Xingran was already so blissful that he almost fainted, and when he kissed her, Xiao Sheng felt that he didn't want to leave her.
Li Xingran's lips were so soft, carrying her unique fragrance, making them irresistible.
The key point is that Li Xingran responded to him.
Xiao Sheng felt like he was a favored child of heaven, because Li Xingran was so good to him.
The two lingered for a while before returning to the Li family home.
As a result, the Li family's house was brightly lit, as was the imperial city. On the streets of the capital, merchants did not rest and were open for business.
Upon asking, it turned out that everyone was preparing for their wedding.
It turns out that Luo Bingqian had already announced to the world that the emperor was preparing to marry the daughter of Grand Tutor Li as empress, and that the wedding would take place on a chosen date. The royal family was immediately preparing for the wedding.
The vendors thought they might need their products, so they opened for business early.
The spectacular fireworks display is still going on.
Many young men and women in the capital city took advantage of this romantic atmosphere to pledge their lives to each other.
When Consort Chen learned that Xiao Sheng's marriage proposal had been successful, she was so happy that she didn't sleep all night.
The prime minister got up in the middle of the night and went to the palace.
The auspicious day, as calculated by Wei Xuanji, is seven days from now.
The Imperial Clan Court has already prepared Li Xingran's jade tablet.
Luo Bingqian notified Li's five elder brothers and their wives to come to the palace to prepare the wedding room.
Upon receiving the news, Xia Deqing and Yuchi Xiyue immediately mustered their men and, carrying gifts, set off from Xinyue Province and Xinliang Province respectively to offer their congratulations.
The next morning, red lanterns were hung everywhere in the capital.
The silk shop owner slapped his thigh, regretting that he should have ordered more red silk cloth.
It's only early this morning, and the red silk cloth is already sold out.
It turned out that the common people spontaneously bought red silk cloth and decorated their homes in a festive and lively manner to welcome the emperor and empress's wedding.
Huo Shan realized he had a lot of Western red gauze stored in his space, so he quickly took it out to sell.
However, Huo Shan was no longer pursuing money at this point, so he sold it at a loss to the owner of a silk shop.
The boss couldn't stop smiling.
With everyone working together, within a morning, the entire capital, from the imperial city to the smallest dog, was adorned with red gauze.
The people have been looking forward to the emperor's marriage for a full ten years.
Now we know that the emperor was waiting for the Grand Tutor's daughter to grow up.
This deep affection and devotion instantly boosted the people's goodwill towards Xiao Sheng.
Xiao Sheng was busy preparing a wedding dress for Li Xingran.
However, he asked Li Xingran whether she wanted a wedding like the one in Gran or a traditional wedding.
Li Xingran said to follow the tradition of Nan Chen Kingdom.
Therefore, Xiao Sheng prepared a bright red wedding dress.
However, the phoenixes on the wedding dress were embroidered with gold thread.
The skirt is made of tens of thousands of diamonds.
This wedding dress is extremely luxurious.
The day before the wedding, Xiao Sheng sent someone to deliver the betrothal gifts.
The royal betrothal gifts were presented, and the first palace maid went to the Li family, while the last palace maid never even left the imperial city.
Xiao Sheng emptied his private treasury and sent it all to Li Xingran.
The fact that so many priceless treasures were sent to the Li family shows how much the royal family valued the empress.
The emperor was indeed deeply in love with the empress.
On the morning of the wedding, the betrothal gifts and dowry were carried back to the capital, once again leaving the people dumbfounded.
The Li family's dowry was also quite substantial.
However, when the people thought about the Li family's contributions to the Nan Chen Kingdom over the past few centuries, and considering that Li Xingran herself was an outstanding girl who had amassed countless riches and had an uncle who was richer than a country, they were not surprised.
In the end, the dowry consisted entirely of gold.
Nine-tenths of the gold that Li Xingran has earned over the years is here.
When Li Xingran and Xiao Sheng met with the people on the city wall of the imperial city, the servants of the Li family who were carrying gold stopped in their tracks.
The people only heard Li Xingran's voice: "Today, to celebrate my wedding with Xiao Sheng, I will return the money I have earned from the people over the years to them."
Ten million taels of gold are currently available and will be deposited into the national treasury as a fund for education, medicine, and women's welfare in the Southern Chen Kingdom, benefiting the people.
