335 Fan Lanying Marriage (1/2)

After the ceremony ended, the new kingdom name officially became Long Kingdom. Despite the process was arduous, finally they managed to unite the land under one kingdom. The war was not quite over yet, but things could be said heading towards the way they wanted it. Sitting on the throne, Yan listened to the court with a calm face.

Soujin and the others skipped it because they needed to do other matters. Ming Hui was still busy with the matter of marriage, and Fan Lanying also couldn't join the military for the time being because she was busy preparing for her marriage.

”Soujin, how do you plan to send the betrothal gifts?” Soujin's house was in the Long Han city while Jun Hua house was in the Mountain Kingdom. Given the distance, there was no way he could send the gifts to that faraway place.

”In the previous Ming Kingdom capital, don't you have a residence there?” Soujin remarked calmly.

Jun Hua remembered that residence. She nodded her head while stretching her body, ”It seems I will be busy preparing for my own marriage too. Why are you setting the time so quickly?”

If she had to be in that city, whose name had now changed to Ming City, there was no way she could attend her best friend wedding. Although she would only stand on the side, she wanted to see her best friend getting married.

”You can stay here and return later. Your servant will accept the gifts first,” Soujin answered calmly.

Jun Hua stared blankly. This man was really something. Based on the tradition, she had to prepare a lot of things before her marriage and undergo some annoying ritual. Of course, she didn't have any plan to skip them, but this man's demand made her unable to do most of them.

”There are some rules that I need to follow.”

”Just attend the most important thing. Besides, becoming a general, despite being a woman already earned you the popularity as someone different with most of the girls,” Soujin added.

Jun Hua didn't know what to say to this man anymore. At the very least, he didn't tell her to not do anything since he too knew that some of them still had to be done. Because of his persuasion, she stayed in Long Han city until Fan Lanying marriage day.

One day before Fan Lanying marriage, Jun Hua came to visit her best friend.

”You seem to be excited about your marriage tomorrow,” Jun Hua smiled when she saw her best friend.

”Don't tease me,” Fan Lanying pouted, ”I'm already feeling extremely nervous here. What about you? Didn't your date for marriage only separated by several days from me?”

”The usual custom will be broken,” Jun Hua sighed.

”Its fine, you're still 17 while I'm already 19, so I need to marry quickly,” Fan Lanying grinned.

”… You have just turned 19 a few days ago, don't you?” Jun Hua pointed out. In her case, her birthday was still several weeks away, so she was still 17.

”Yes, thank you for your amazing present,” Fan Lanying nodded her head with excitement.

Jun Hua waved her hand, ”It's nothing. Besides, we might not see each other often anymore.”

”Right,” Fan Lanying knew that Jun Hua's position was high. She already heard about her holding two identities from the others' report. At first, she was in disbelief, but when she saw for herself how Jun Hua led the soldiers, she was fully convinced that Jun Hua and Jun Min was the same person.

With the latter capabilities, there was no way the people wouldn't want to use her. This would make the two of them unable to meet as their discrepancy in rank was too great. ”How's the reparation and all?”

”Everything is going well. The distribution of food and other materials are still needed, but with the trade still going, the economics didn't suffer too much from the war,” Jun Hua answered. Because of Yan still holding the trade line safe and all, the economy in their area didn't suffer much. The farmers were still working in their field and they purposely avoided them during the battle.

There were still some damages because of the war. Yan already berated them heavily because of the loss in profit. But all in all, everything was going smoothly.

”I wonder if your wedding can go as planned,” Jun Hua suddenly remarked.

”Why is that?”

”Because the role of man and woman between you and Ming Hui often switched,” Jun Hua grinned.

Fan Lanying's face turned red. She also realized it herself that she did things like what men would do and it was Ming Hui who instead waited for her from behind. Although she didn't will it, their role often switched which was very unusual in this age and culture.
