The red candles are lit, and the room is full of joy.

This was an extremely hasty wedding. Mrs. Qiao and Han Yaxian carefully decorated the wedding hall in a very short time.

There are no distinguished guests, no phoenix crowns and bridal robes, but the closest relatives and loved ones are by my side.

Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue, both dressed in red, walked into the hall holding red silk. The parents of both parties were already seated, both with smiles and eyes full of kindness.

As the newlyweds stepped over the threshold, Qiao Diyi was excited and whispered warmly, "Yue'er, I'm sorry for putting up with you tonight. When the epidemic is over and the North is stable, we will have a grand wedding."

Xiao Qianyue shook her head. Her cheeks were flushed, finally showing the shyness and tenderness of a girl.

"I don't care about that—"

"I care."

Qiao Diyi took over the conversation, speaking in a low but firm voice.

"Yue'er, you deserve the best."

The two of them walked into the hall, and Qiao Tianjing praised and called out to them. Then he raised his voice, and a report came from outside the courtyard:

"Master, Madam, His Majesty and His Majesty the Queen are here in person!"

Everyone stood up suddenly. Xiao Qianyue turned around abruptly and saw her sister walking towards her step by step with tears in her eyes in the candlelight.

The corners of Xiao Qianyue's mouth drooped, and she suddenly felt like crying uncontrollably.

Her elder sister was the most perfect noble lady in the capital and the most honorable mother of a country. No matter when or where, her elder sister's manners were always impeccable.

But at this moment, her sister was walking towards her with her hairpins swaying and her skirt fluttering, and she was so eager to greet her that she had completely forgotten her manners.

"elder sister!"

Xiao Qianyue cried out with a trembling voice, tears rolling down her cheeks instantly.

Xiao Qianlan walked into the hall, tightly grasped Xiao Qianyue's arms, looked her up and down, and then gently stroked Xiao Qianyue's cheek, and said in a tearful voice:

"Sister knows it, sister knows that Yue'er is a heretic, and she will do something shocking tonight."

"Sister, I'm sorry, Yue'er is very willful..."

Xiao Qianyue lost her confidence. Her sister was the person in the world who could control her the most.

Xiao Qianlan shook her head. She tidied up the naughty little hair on Xiao Qianyue's cheek and said proudly:

"Sister Yue'er has lofty ambitions and is the most heroic girl in the world. No matter what Yue'er does, sister will support you."

"Sister just didn't want to miss such a precious moment of Yue'er's life, so she hurried over."

Sisters are connected by heart, how could Xiao Qianlan not understand her own sister?

She was restless and absent-minded in the palace. It was Shen Lang who broke the rules for her and took her out of the palace late at night.

At this time, Shen Yuanzhan also walked into the hall. Qiao Zhongguo and others hurried forward to salute, but he smiled and waved his hand. When he swept his eyes across the red light in the hall, there was a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"Come on, continue. Sister will come to the side to watch the ceremony."

Xiao Qianlan let go of Xiao Qianyue with a smile and retreated to Shen Yuanzhan's side.

Shen Yuanzhan saw the traces of tears on Xiao Qianlan's face and frowned slightly. It was not until everyone's attention returned to the newlyweds that he took Xiao Qianlan's hand with his wide sleeves.

Xiao Qianlan was slightly startled, looked around, and tried to withdraw her hand in panic, but she didn't expect Shen Yuanzhan to hold it very tightly.

She was a little nervous and turned to look at Shen Yuanzhan, but saw that his eyes were gentle and he nodded at her in comfort.

Xiao Qianlan's face flushed and her heart suddenly felt warm. After hesitating for a while, she slightly relaxed her fingers and then gently retracted them.

Shen Yuanzhan noticed this subtle movement, a hidden smile appeared in his eyes, and he held the hand of his hand tighter.

"Bow to heaven and earth!"

"Bow to your parents!"

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue performed the movements in an immature and somewhat flustered manner, and when the couple bowed to each other, their foreheads actually touched each other, making a loud noise, and they both grimaced in pain.

When everyone saw this scene, they tried to hold back their laughter but still couldn't help laughing out loud. At this moment, the worry hidden in the joy was finally completely dispelled.

Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue stood in the hall with embarrassed looks on their faces, and both raised their hands to rub their foreheads.

Seeing this, everyone laughed even more recklessly, and laughed so hard that they covered their stomachs and cried out "ouch".

Jiaojiao laughed until tears came out, and rolled into Han Yaxian's arms. The two of them pointed at Xiao Qianyue and laughed together.

As the years go by, joy fills our heart.

Although there are still countless difficulties and obstacles ahead, one day thousands of boats will pass by and the road will be smooth from then on.

The reunion and beauty of this moment, whenever you recall it, will become the motivation and support for fearless progress, and the dawn and hope for defeating destiny.

Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue never consummated their marriage.

Not only was the two of them still completely in the dark about that, but the timing tonight was also not right.

After the ceremony, Xiao Qianyue even followed Xiao Hongda and his wife very naturally and went back home obediently.

Jiaojiao followed him to the door and scratched her head when she saw this.

Well, that makes sense.

————

Early the next morning, the news that Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue had gotten married last night spread, and the reason was very frank, which was to allow Xiao Qianyue to travel north with them openly.

At 9:00 pm, the troops assembled at the north gate.

Jiaojiao immediately saw a group of doctors headed by Doctor Zou. They were dressed simply and were saying goodbye to each other's families.

Jiaojiao prayed silently for everyone in her heart, hoping that her "invulnerability to all diseases" could come in handy and protect these righteous doctors.

Xiao Si also came to see them off. He stood beside Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Diyi, looking so solemn that he didn't look like a child at all. ..

Qiao Zhongguo understood Xiao Si. He raised his hand and patted Xiao Si on the head, and said seriously:

"Xiao Si, some things cannot be rushed. Every solid foundation you lay now is for the future."

Xiao Si frowned when he heard this. He has indeed been upset recently.

Master and Second Brother Qiao were preparing intensively for the trip northwards. Big Brother Qiao and Mr. Tan were giving advice to Brother Qiao. The doctors in the Imperial Hospital were leading the way. Only he...

The words "he is still young" made him a bystander.

How he wished he could have been born a few years earlier so that he could have traveled north with his master.

It was because Qiao Zhongguo understood Xiao Si's thoughts that he said those words just now.

Sometimes knowing things too early is a burden, because the young body cannot match and execute the worries and ambitions in the heart, which often leads to frustration and powerlessness.

But Xiaosi is a very precocious child.

"Xiao Si, calm down and study hard with your Mr. Tan in Beijing."

"The Northern Expedition is a long and arduous journey. In the future, this battlefield will eventually belong to you young people."

Qiao Zhongguo rubbed Xiaosi's head, his eyes full of love.

Xiao Si was originally feeling restless and irritable, but when he met Qiao Zhongguo's calm and determined eyes, the irritability in his chest suddenly stagnated, and then slowly dissipated.

"Master, it is Xiao Si who is possessed by evil spirits. Xiao Si will stay in the capital and wait for Master's triumphant return!"

Xiao Si was ashamed and performed the master-disciple ceremony towards Qiao Zhongguo solemnly.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo raised his lips slightly. This kid——

"Set off!"

Qiao Zhongguo turned his head and raised his voice sternly.

Everyone looked serious, packed their bags and quickly returned to the team!

Jiaojiao was held in Qiao Tianjing's arms and stood with the people who were seeing them off.

In their eyes, the heroes heading north boarded their carriages and horses, with resolute faces, and set off with the hopes of the people of Wuding.

Those left behind were equally brave.

They watched their fathers, husbands, sons and daughters run towards the unknown, put away all their worries and fears, raised their smiles and waved goodbye.

From now on, I hope to return, I will definitely return!
