Chapter 205 The Wedding Proceeds as Scheduled
If only I could add this woman to my harem...
Alas, forget it!
Having just acquired Wusun Yaru, it would be too arrogant to snatch another woman from Li Guangbi. It would make people think he was neglecting his duties and was drowning in women's desires.
Li Longji nodded to Consort Mei, agreeing, "I should indeed comply with this matter. Since Jiang Caiyue is related to you by blood, it is only right to give her the status of a maternal relative. Furthermore, as a general of the country, having a maternal relative as a wife will also help Li Guangbi in his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty."
"Let's do as you say. I will issue an imperial edict tomorrow. At that time, you, my beloved consort, will be in charge of overseeing the wedding procession and the dowry."
Since it was about finding a wife for someone else, Li Longji felt it was meaningless.
He decided to let Consort Mei oversee everything, while he himself could enjoy a few days of pleasure with his beloved.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Caiping immediately knelt down to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Longji smiled and waved for her to get up: "Alright, you can go back now. I will handle the matter of the investiture document as soon as possible."
Jiang Caiping was extremely grateful and bowed before leaving the study.
After receiving the emperor's permission, Jiang Caiping, to avoid any unforeseen complications, immediately began preparing for her younger sister's wedding. She chose an auspicious day, arranged for an eight-bearer sedan chair and a ten-mile-long red bridal procession, and set off directly from the palace to solemnly marry Jiang Caiyue into the imperial mansion!
—This mansion should have been called the Li Mansion, but Li Guangbi insisted that it belonged to Jiang Caiyue and had nothing to do with the Li family. Therefore, he took the initiative to request that the mansion still be called the Jiang Mansion, and that he be a half-son-in-law.
He considered himself a hero, and believed that one day he would earn the imperial mansion through his own abilities. Therefore, he would never use his status as a woman to flaunt his power.
Jiang Caiping was very satisfied with her brother-in-law. Now she was absolutely certain that all other things were inferior, only the man she could control was superior!
On the day of the wedding, the entire city of Chang'an was bustling with excitement.
Li Mao, Guo Ziyi, and others came to attend the wedding and offered their blessings.
Li Mao smiled and said to Jiang Caiyue, "Caiyue, congratulations. After knowing each other for so long, you and Guangbi have finally become a couple. Come and say a few auspicious words to Ziyi so that he can also have your good fortune soon."
Jiang Caiyue replied with a happy smile, "I am so grateful for the care Your Highness and Lord Guo have given me along the way. I hope General Guo will meet his other half soon."
Li Guangbi, watching from the side, became even more excited, his face turning red and his neck bulging.
He held Jiang Caiyue's hand and whispered, "Caiyue, don't worry. I will definitely treat you well. In the future, I will work hard to guard Shuofang and earn you a first-rank imperial title!"
A tear glistened in Jiang Caiyue's eyes as she nodded and said, "I believe you, Guangbi."
The wedding proceeded smoothly and joyously, with guests offering their blessings for the newlyweds to grow old together. After the ceremony, the guests gradually departed, leaving only a few close friends to enjoy drinks at the mansion.
Li Mao, holding a wine cup, walked to Li Guangbi's side and said with a mischievous smile, "Guangbi, I wish you a son soon!"
Upon hearing this, Li Guangbi blushed slightly, but still nodded: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will do my best."
At this very moment, Jiang Caiyue was waiting for Li Guangbi in the bridal chamber.
Li Mao and the others were well aware of this and did not want to neglect the bride.
After drinking two rounds, he stopped bothering Li Guangbi.
As the banquet gradually came to an end, Li Guangbi was finally able to spend some quality time with his beloved.
At this moment, Guo Ziyi looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
He sighed and muttered to himself, "From now on, Guangbi will have his own home, and his home will no longer be in the Shuofang Army."
As night fell, Li Guangbi returned to his new home.
The room was brightly lit with red candles, creating a particularly warm and inviting atmosphere.
Li Guangbi gently took Jiang Caiyue's hand, and Jiang Caiyue leaned on Li Guangbi's shoulder. The two of them stayed like that, embracing each other, without saying a word for a long time.
After a moment, Li Guangbi said, "Now that we are married, you must stay in Chang'an. Whether as a relative of the empress or as the wife of a general stationed abroad, you should not go to the army anymore."
Soldiers stationed in the field were expected to leave their families and children in Chang'an.
This can be considered a kind of hostage, which can make the emperor feel safer.
Li Guangbi added, "But don't worry, after we have a child, I will definitely take you to the Shuofang Army. At that time, the child can stay in Chang'an City, that will be enough."
"puff……"
Jiang Caiyue couldn't help but laugh, and said helplessly, "How old are you? Why are you still acting like a child? If we have children in the future, we will naturally need adults to take care of and educate them. How can we leave him alone in Chang'an? Don't worry, when you go to Lingzhou, I will silently support you and wait for you without any complaints."
Li Guangbi immediately embraced Jiang Caiyue.
He stammered, "Holding your hand, what more could I ask for!"
For the next few days, Li Guangbi and Jiang Caiyue enjoyed a shameless and intimate time together. As for Li Mao and Guo Ziyi, they were now considered outsiders.
Guo Ziyi couldn't help but feel wronged and said to Li Mao, "This Guangbi is truly heartless and ungrateful, unlike His Highness, who, even surrounded by beautiful women, has never forgotten his brothers."
“How can I be compared to Gwangbi?” Li Mao said with a laugh. “I’ve been married for so long, and no matter how many beautiful women are around me, I’ll eventually lose interest. But Gwangbi has only just tasted the pleasures of a woman, how can he give up so easily?”
"Besides... you will be going to Lingzhou to guard the city in a few days, and Caiyue cannot go with you due to her status. Before Guangbi leaves Chang'an, it would be best if Caiyue could get pregnant with his child, so that when he returns next time, the child will be born. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Guo Ziyi was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Getting married and having children makes time seem to fly by. It's just a pity for Caiyue and their future children. Their father can never return to Chang'an. Perhaps when the children grow up, they won't even recognize who their father is."
Is this the destined fate of everyone's life?
Guo Ziyi thought about it and felt very melancholy, so he sighed.
Li Mao thought Guo Ziyi was thinking of him, that his subordinates would all be fathers by then, while he himself would still be unmarried. After thinking for a while, he turned to Guo Ziyi and said, "Ziyi, shouldn't you also consider your own marriage? You can't stay a bachelor forever."
Guo Ziyi gave a wry smile and said, "Your Highness, please don't tease me. For me, nothing is more important than the Shuofang Army. Now that Guangbi has a wife, I can't afford to be distracted at this time. I still have heavy responsibilities on my shoulders."
