Who would raise a villain as a wife?

Jiang Li didn't notice it at all, and was seriously discussing with He Yunjing what kind of position she wanted.

Is it holding hands? Hugging? Or walking together under the same umbrella?

He Yunjing was just standing there trying to hold back his laughter, thinking about his own things.

In the evening, He Yunjing made a birthday cake for Jiang Li. It didn’t look very good, but it was edible, so it was a good attempt.

He Yunjing also told Jiang Li the meaning of the cake, lit the colorful candles he made, asked Jiang Li to make a wish, and then they ate the cake together.

When the two of them were lying on the bed, Jiang Li finally realized, "No, there is one gift missing."

"Didn't you eat?" He Yunjing held the back of his head. "The cake is a birthday gift, and so is the bowl of longevity noodles."

This was different from Jiang Li's understanding of birthday gifts, but he had already received four, all of which were made by He Yunjing himself, so there really wasn't much time to prepare anything else for him.

Jiang Li accepted it calmly and snuggled into He Yunjing's arms to sleep. His best gift was He Yunjing's company. They didn't separate for the whole day.

After the birthday, it was time for He Yunjing to leave. The people over there were really urging him to go back quickly.

He Yunjing waited until Jiang Li finished attending court before saying goodbye. He coaxed her into submission by repeatedly promising that he would be back as soon as possible, and also took a team of ten people away.

He rushed back. He had sent letters in advance, so he went directly to the palace. The Emperor, Marquis Wu'an and the Crown Prince were all waiting for him in the study. When they saw him come back, they all had long faces and looked blaming him.

No matter what, it is very dangerous for He Yunjing to go to Lin Country alone. Jiang Li likes He Yunjing, but what if other people find out and attack He Yunjing? Can they still collect He Yunjing's body?

He Yunjing knew that he was in the wrong, so he coaxed them one by one, served tea and water, massaged shoulders and legs, and also brought a handwritten letter from Jiang Li, saying that he would send envoys to repair the friendship between the two countries soon.

It means that as long as he is in power, he will not send troops to Wu State. If Wu State is in trouble, Lin State will also send troops to help.

There was also a jade seal on it. When the emperor saw it, he couldn't help but glance at He Yunjing and said, "You are really capable. You can really make him let go of the hatred between the two countries."

He Yunjing nodded in agreement. He also felt that he was quite capable. At least as long as he was alive, there would be no war between the two countries. As for what would happen in the future, he really had no control over it.

Wu Ziqian was also surprised after reading it. He asked, "If that's the case, he can't marry you. You are very happy."

"So I have to marry him. It's almost the same anyway!"

The emperor slammed the table in anger and said, "No! I don't agree!"

Marquis Wu'an also puffed his beard and glared, "I second the motion."

Wu Ziqian spread his hands helplessly. This was not something he could help with.

He Yunjing didn't expect them to agree so quickly, so he didn't say anything. He just told them about Mo Wenhe's plan and asked them to be prepared and deal with everything that needed to be dealt with to avoid any further accidents.

Then he slipped away, but was called over halfway by the Queen's people, and the Marquis's wife was also there.

The two women held him and asked him about his well-being, tears in their eyes, they were really worried about his safety.

He Yunjing accepted it well. His original parents were killed early, and this time he suddenly had two pairs of parents who treated him sincerely, and his younger brothers and sisters also became his eldest brother, which was pretty good.

The two sisters were reluctant to let him marry Jiang Li when they heard that he wanted to marry her, but they were more emotional. After being fooled by He Yunjing, they all began to feel sorry for Jiang Li.

She also felt that what He Yunjing had done before was indeed unfair to Jiang Li, and her heart had begun to drift away. However, she was reluctant to let He Yunjing go so far away, as she would hardly see him again in the future.

He Yunjing could only grind slowly, getting in front of the four elders every day, and then looking for Wu Ziqian to stand on his side. From all aspects, one more teammate means a better chance of winning.

Every night he would go home and write to Jiang Li to report on his progress, and start researching something else. The ancient times were not like his world where there were strange things to buy. He could only research and make them by himself. He couldn't let Jiang Li feel uncomfortable.

A month passed in a flash, and Jiang Li's replies became more and more angry. He Yunjing had no choice but to secretly go back to accompany Jiang Li for a month, and sent five letters back every day.

He Yunjing spent most of his time on the road traveling back and forth for a year, and he was almost exhausted to death.

Finally, the emperor compromised and allowed him to come back for at least two months every year. He Yunjing didn't dare to agree directly, and thought about writing to Jiang Li to discuss it.

Before waiting for the letter, he received the news that the Emperor of Lin Kingdom came in person to propose marriage. With 50,000 soldiers stationed at the border, Jiang Li led a team of people and rushed to the imperial city day and night.

Upon hearing the news, He Yunjing rode his horse to meet them, intercepted them halfway and got into the carriage that Jiang Li was riding in.

"How did you come?"

Jiang Li stared at him, "You said it would be quick, but you dragged it out for a year. It's not quick at all."

"Then shouldn't I go back to accompany you?"

"It's different. If you marry me, you can come back and stay for a while every year. You don't have to stay with me for a month or two and then be called back." Jiang Li frowned and raised her hand to touch He Yunjing's face, which had become thinner.

He Yunjing smiled and held his hand, "His Majesty has agreed to let me come back and stay for two months every year. If you agree, I will come back once every six months. That way, you won't be unhappy if you don't see me for a long time."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up, "Did he really agree?"

"Yeah." He Yunjing kissed him on the lips, "Be good after you enter the palace, and we'll make a big red envelope."

Jiang Li frowned, "I am the emperor now, I am not short of money."

"This is different. It's given by the elders. It's different from what you, the emperor, have and what I give you." He Yunjing held his face, "My relatives are your relatives. They will treat you well. This is the blessing of the elders, and you have it too."

Jiang Li's eyelashes trembled. He indeed had never received care from his elders, never.

He Yunjing held his hand tightly, "You are His Majesty, you must not be so reckless in the future. What if something happens when you are not in the court?"

"I have arranged everything. Nothing will happen. I am not afraid if something happens."

He Yunjing smiled and agreed. He knew that Jiang Li no longer had much obsession with the throne. What Jiang Li wanted now was to be equal to him.

The two of them returned to the palace together, holding hands openly, which attracted a lot of people to watch.

The Emperor and Marquis Wu'an both looked unhappy. After all, he was their biological son and a child they had raised, and they loved him sincerely. Why was he going to marry off, and marry so far away at that? Who would feel good about that?

But since Jiang Li had come with full sincerity, they didn't have much to say.

He Yunjing had already informed Wu Ziqian about this, so after the two of them knelt and saluted, Jiang Li received two big red envelopes, which were given by the emperor and Marquis Wu'an.

His bow was not for any other reason, he really followed He Yunjing in calling "Father" and "Your Majesty". How could the two fathers not know the significance of that?

The emperor gave the red envelope and asked the people to leave. He was busy discussing the dowry and wedding matters with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue.
