Chapter 979 Getting Married Smoothly

"Eunuch Cao, you have worked hard all the way. Please come inside."

General Meng knew that the King of Hell was easy to meet but the devil was difficult to deal with, so he had already asked his servants to put the wallet containing the banknotes into Eunuch Cao's hands.

Eunuch Cao squeezed the purse in his hand, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out with a smile. He immediately cupped his hands and said:

"General Meng, you're welcome. We still have a few words from the emperor here for the general!"

"Thank you, Eunuch Cao, please drink some tea to moisten your throat first."

General Meng smiled and asked Eunuch Cao to take a seat.

"General Meng, His Majesty has always been thinking of you. He knows that you are working hard guarding the border, and he also wants to raise your status. He learned that the general's youngest daughter is beautiful and talented, so he made this decree to marry her.

The general should know how many people in the imperial city were eyeing the position of the crown princess, but his majesty never let go and fell in love with the general's youngest daughter. "

Eunuch Cao's beautiful words came out of his mouth, and General Meng could only cooperate and say haha:

"Meng An would like to thank His Majesty for your concern. You can think of me and give my daughter a beautiful path. I am deeply grateful."

The two of them were going back and forth, trying to probe each other's bottom line. General Meng arranged for good wine and food to entertain Eunuch Cao. After all the people who would be welcoming the bride were settled, he went to the backyard to meet his wife and fake daughter.

Mrs. Meng was in a daze holding the tea cup in her hand, wondering what she was thinking, while Lianyi was reading a book in her hand, and was also unusually quiet.

The arrival of General Meng broke the silence in the room, and both Mrs. Meng and Lianyi stood up.

"Husband, how is the situation?"

"Eunuch Cao means to leave as soon as possible and only gives us three days to prepare."

After General Meng sat down, he drank a cup of herbal tea before speaking.

"It's too late, Lianyi's dowry is ready."

Mrs. Meng sighed and said.

Lianyi glanced at the two people and then said:

"General, madam, it's a long way to the imperial city, and I don't know what will happen on the way. I'd better try my best to exchange the dowry into silver notes, so that I can carry it with me.

I still keep the dowry prepared by my wife for my daughter. It is also a thought. I will not take away people's love. "

Mrs. Meng didn't expect Ripple to say this, but she was indeed very happy. She had saved her daughter's dowry since the child was born. She was really reluctant to give it to a stranger like this.

"It's unreasonable that the general's mansion doesn't give his daughter a dowry."

General Meng said after careful consideration.

"If the general really cares about me, he will find me a couple of houses that can be used by a few families. As for the dowry, replace it with something large with the general's mark, something fancy but impractical."

Ripple thought for a while and said.

There are some things she can handle on her own, but she also has to have a reasonable excuse.

"lady."

After all, General Meng couldn't bear it anymore and turned to look at Madam.

"I understand, I will make arrangements, and I will hand over the deeds of these people to her."

Mrs. Meng steeled herself and said.

"Madam, it's best to pair me with another medical woman. After all, my health is not good, and the journey is far away. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

Ripple made another condition.

"You don't need to tell me this, I've already prepared it."

Mrs. Meng said lightly.

"General, madam, do you have anything to tell me?"

Ripple asked with a smile.

"We know that this matter has wronged you, and this is a helpless move, but you must remember that you used your identity as Meng Lianyi to marry the prince. If you do anything extraordinary, the Meng family will definitely be implicated.

If it is a reasonable thing, the Meng family will naturally protect you as compensation for your replacement marriage. If you do something that is not conducive to the Meng family, we will abandon you as soon as possible! "

General Meng said in a deep voice.

"I made a note that I will save my own life and secure my position as Crown Princess. Even if I cannot do anything beneficial to the Meng family, I will not implicate the general."

Ripple assured.

"It's better this way. You are a smart boy. Once you enter the palace, everything will be up to you."

"I got it."

Three days later, Lianyi said goodbye to General Meng and his wife wearing a phoenix crown and harem. She was carried on the sedan chair by the eldest brother of the Meng family and she was officially married.

At this time, Mrs. Meng finally no longer had to suppress her feelings. She burst into tears and fainted, making everyone who came to watch the ceremony sigh. They all knew that the day when mother and daughter would meet again would be far away from now on.

General Meng put on a show and arranged for his youngest son Meng Guangshen to lead a hundred people to escort the royal team out of the border. This time, Eunuch Cao did not object. This was the border, and they were often harassed by small groups of Qianglang tribesmen, especially those of their elders. The escorting procession stretched for four miles.

The people in the border town were all sweating for Lianyi. Although no one had seen this Miss Meng, they all felt sorry for General Meng. The only daughter was married away like this. Although marrying into the royal family can bring prosperity for a lifetime, but considering that They were all worried about Miss Meng's body, fearing that something might happen to Miss Meng on the way.

Ripple was sitting in the wedding sedan, listening to the sound of blowing and beating in her ears, announcing to the world that she was getting married. When the long procession walked out of the border town, Ripple raised her hijab, raised her hand to lift the sedan curtain, and looked towards the horse riding horse. Meng Guangshen next to the sedan chair is her nominal second brother.

"Little sister, what's the matter?"

Meng Guangshen rode two steps closer, and then asked softly.

"It's okay. Thank you for your hard work, second brother. You can go back after passing Yucheng Pass!"

"Well, I have a sense of discretion. Don't worry about it. Take care of yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, see the doctor."

"Yes, second brother."

Lianyi lowered the sedan curtain and began to close his eyes to rest.

The rest of the journey went fairly smoothly, because it was on General Meng's territory, and with Meng Guangshen's escort team, there were no blind people looking for trouble. All the way to Yucheng Pass, Lianyi formally bid farewell to Meng Guangshen.

"Second brother, you go back and tell your parents that I will take care of myself and let them not think too much."

"Well, I understand."

"After I settle down in the East Palace, someone will tell my parents that they are safe."

"Okay, we are waiting for your news."

Eunuch Cao stood not far away, watching the two brothers and sisters saying goodbye, and did not come forward to disturb them, because the second son of the Meng family stuffed another purse for himself. It must take time for family members to say goodbye, which he could understand.

After passing Yucheng Pass, the team entered the hinterland of Wei State, and everyone speeded up. After all, they had to reach the imperial city before the auspicious time calculated by the Ministry of Rites.

After traveling for five days, Lianyi "fell ill". Eunuch Cao's heart suddenly rose. Miss Meng couldn't have an accident on the road, otherwise both the emperor and General Meng would be angry with him, so he Immediately ordered to set up camp and let the medical woman diagnose Lianyi's pulse first.

Lianyi's health is actually very good. She did this to avoid a group of bandits, and this group of bandits was arranged by the second prince. This is something that the original body has experienced before.

In her previous life, Cuizhu was just a maid, and she had no confidence to do anything. She let her nanny make all the decisions arranged by the Meng family. In order not to delay the auspicious time, she hurried on her way, and ended up face to face with the people arranged by the second prince. .

See you tomorrow~~
