Yun Huaikang quickly rode forward, and then the whole family quickly got off the carriage and bowed to greet the carriage.

Yun Shengsheng looked at Yan Shijin and asked curiously:

"Brother Shi Jin, did you come to see us off?"

Yan Shijin told everyone to dispense with formalities, then stepped out of the carriage, smiled at Yun Shengsheng, and shook her head: "No, I'm also going to the border, so it's on my way."

As he spoke, he casually handed the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand to Yun Pianpian and said gently, "This is the decree issued by Father last night, bestowing marriage upon you and Zhen Linqing."

Yun Pianpian was completely stunned.

She held the imperial edict as if it were a red-hot coal, her cheeks burning red.

Yun Huaikang and Gan Yuwan were so excited that they didn't know what to do.

In the end, Yun Shengsheng couldn't stand it anymore and secretly tugged at Yun Pianpian's sleeve.

"Second sister..."

Yun Pianpian then seemed to wake from a dream, and knelt down with a thud, holding the imperial edict high, her voice trembling: "This humble woman receives the edict and thanks you for your grace!"

At this moment, she felt excited and surprised, but also a little bit of inexplicable fear and unease.

A marriage was arranged by imperial decree.

The emperor personally arranged a marriage between her and Zhen Linqing.

She and Zhen Linqing were finally officially together.

She deserves him...

After her emotions subsided, she became very curious: why would the Emperor suddenly bestow a marriage upon her?

Yun Huaikang and Gan Yuwan were also puzzled and secretly looked at Yan Shijin.

Yun Shengsheng asked Yan Shijin directly, "Brother Shijin, why did Uncle Emperor suddenly issue an edict to bestow a marriage?"

Yan Shijin patted her head and explained, "A few days ago, Father Emperor received news of a victory at the border."

"Zhen Linqing, with fewer troops, ambushed the eldest prince of the Great Yan Kingdom in the Wild Thorn Valley and finally captured him."

"Father was overjoyed and, knowing about Zhen Linqing and your second sister's relationship, and considering that they were both getting on in years, could not be delayed any longer, so he bestowed the marriage upon them."

This can be considered a favor to the Ming Prince's Mansion. After all, Zhen Linqing will be in charge of the Ming Prince's Mansion from now on, and the Princess Consort is a marriage bestowed by the Emperor, so she will be one of their own from now on!

But there's no need to say that...

Yun Shengsheng thought for a moment and nodded.

【That's true. Zhen Linqing and my second sister both have feelings for each other, so it's good that they can be together in the end!】

Besides, my second sister is already twenty this year, which would be considered an old maid in ancient times. She really can't delay any longer.

Yun Huaikang and Gan Yuwan exchanged a glance, both feeling a little guilty.

They used to think that their daughter shouldn't be wronged, so they insisted that the Zhen family come to propose marriage in person.

But the Zhen family is currently in a precarious situation, with the old and young all on the battlefield, how can they possibly spare any time?

And so they waited and waited, and before they knew it, Pianpian was already twenty.

If this doesn't work out, they're really afraid that Pianpian's marriage will be ruined.

Fortunately, the Emperor issued an edict, and the marriage was finally set in stone.

Then they can arrange their marriage when they go to the border this time.

Yun Shengsheng was lost in thought when she suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings.

Then a huge black shadow spiraled down and landed on the carriage next to Yan Shijin at an extremely fast speed.

Yun Shengsheng was startled.

She looked closely and was so surprised that her mouth dropped open.

It turned out to be a fully grown eagle.

It folded its wings, its sharp eyes scanned its surroundings, and its two claws, like iron hooks, gripped tightly onto the cart shaft.

Just as Yun Shengsheng was about to call out "Brother Shijin, be careful!", the eagle flapped its wings again and jumped onto Yan Shijin's shoulder.

Although Yan Shijin is almost ten years old, she is not very tall and is quite thin.

With such a large eagle perched on his shoulder, his slender frame appeared even more striking.

Yan Shijin turned his head helplessly, glanced at the eagle, and then smiled at Yun Shengsheng.

"Don't be afraid, Sheng Sheng. This is my pet, Xiao Ba."

"Although he looks fierce, he's actually... a bit silly."

No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a series of loud bangs!

It turned out that the eagle named Xiao Ba was using its sharp beak to peck at the jade crown on Yan Shijin's head that she used to tie her hair.

"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang!"

They pecked Yan Shijin's head until it tilted to one side.

Yan Shijin's smile froze, and his expression became extremely interesting.

Yun Shengsheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

[He does seem...not very bright.]

【Hahahahaha...】

Yun Shengsheng, being bold, covered her mouth and chuckled.

But Yun Huaikang, Gan Yuwan, and the others quickly turned their backs upon seeing this scene, not daring to look.

Xiao Ba seemed to notice Yun Shengsheng as well, but it only glanced at her before continuing to tap on Yan Shijin's jade crown with its beak.

Yan Shijin: "..."

His face turned completely black!

I felt like I had lost face in front of Sheng Sheng.

He glared at Xiao Ba, then turned to look at Mo Ning.

Mo Ning's lips were already upturned, but after Yan Shijin glanced at her, she immediately pursed her lips and quickly stepped forward.

He yanked Xiao Ba off Yan Shijin's shoulder.

Little Ba was still restless in his hands, stretching its neck and trying to peck at Yan Shijin's head, but he quickly covered its beak.

Mo Ning said respectfully, feeling guilty, "Master, it's getting late, we should set off."

Yan Shijin coughed lightly, regaining his cool and composed demeanor, and said to Yun Shengsheng and the others, "The journey is long, and Uncle Yun, your carriage is too crowded. Why don't you share a carriage with me, Shengsheng?"

Yun Huaikang's face stiffened slightly, but before he could open his mouth, he saw his little daughter already sticking her bottom out and climbing onto the Crown Prince's carriage.

[This is His Highness the Crown Prince's carriage! Why not take a ride?]

[I'd rather squeeze in with Yan Shijin than with my parents and sister! He's so skinny, he won't take up much space!]

Yun Huaikang felt ashamed upon hearing this.

Finally, he opened his mouth, then bowed apologetically to Yan Shijin, saying, "Then... I'll have to trouble Your Highness."


Yun Shengsheng suddenly turned to him and asked, "Brother Shi Jin, is Chu Xiao going too?"

[Why do I think I see the Chu family's carriage?]

Yan Shijin nodded and pulled her into the carriage.

"Yes, he's going too. There are some things he needs to take care of."

Yun Shengsheng nodded without giving it much thought.

She found a soft pillow to lean against, nestled comfortably, and fell asleep in no time.

Because of the tight schedule, they hardly entered any towns along the way, instead setting up camp in the wilderness.

If there was a shortage, Mourning would rush to replenish it.

This departure lasted for more than a month.

Yun Sheng was afraid that their bodies couldn't handle it, so he secretly added spiritual spring water to their food.

As a result, everyone was like they had been injected with chicken blood, traveling for days without feeling tired.

One evening, the little tuanzi suddenly warned: "Host, something bad has happened. There will be a heavy rain this evening, and after the rain, the road ahead will collapse."

"So you'd better find a safe place nearby and rest for the night before talking again..."
