Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

Since they had decided to get married, Yu Nuan felt it was best to complete the wedding as soon as possible before Wang Qingming's transfer.

Even if they speed things up, the wedding can only be scheduled for the 26th day of the first lunar month. This date was chosen by Xu Feng's relatives as an auspicious day for marriage.

Early that morning, Xiao Qing was woken up by Qingyi and got up to dress up.

The rented courtyard was bustling with activity. To allow Xiao Qing to focus on preparing for her wedding, Yu Nuan had Qing Yi hire some helpers from outside. The courtyard was decorated with red silk and red lanterns.

When Yu Nuan entered, she saw Xiao Qing dressed up and was immediately filled with emotion. Yu Nuan reached out and covered Xiao Qing's head with a red veil, her eyes red, but she turned her head away so that Xiao Qing wouldn't see it.

"Xiao Qing, always remember that this is your home. If Xu Feng ever does anything to wrong you, just tell me. If I'm not at Yunqi Temple, give this letter to Manager Wu and ask him to deliver it to me."

Manager Wu manages the shop for Yu Nuan. Although Yu Nuan travels far and wide, Qingyi often keeps in touch with Manager Wu. Therefore, if Xiao Qing wants to contact Yu Nuan, it's best to go through Manager Wu.

"I understand, Miss. I really miss you and Sister Qingyi."

Xiao Qing started to cry again as she spoke.

"Today is your big day, you mustn't cry. Xiao Qing, you must be happy."

Yu Nuan gave Xiao Qing a final hug, then took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I think the groom has arrived."

Yu Nuan could already hear the approaching sound of the suona horn.

"Miracle Doctor, the groom is here! He's already at the door!" Xiao Juan rushed in from outside, informing Yu Nuan of the groom's location.

Xiao Juan came to help, and she didn't want Yu Nuan's wages. It turned out that Xiao Juan had heard that Yu Nuan was hiring a group of short-term workers, and then she offered herself up. Yu Nuan couldn't refuse, so she had to keep her.

"Okay, Xiao Qing, sit down quickly and wait for Xu Feng to pick you up."

Following the matchmaker's instructions, Xiaoqing sat quietly on the bed, listening to the noise outside. She felt uneasy, filled with both anticipation for the future and anxiety about leaving familiar surroundings and people.

At the bride's door, no one made things difficult for Xu Feng, and he was allowed to take Xiao Qing away.

Xiao Qing and Xu Feng bid farewell to Yu Nuan.

“Xu Feng, Xiao Qing has been by my side since she was little. I’ve always considered her my sister. You must treat her well in the days to come. If one day Xiao Qing comes back to me crying, I will never let you get away with it.”

Yu Nuan gave the two her final words of advice.

"I will definitely treat Xiao Qing well. For the rest of my life, I will treat Xiao Qing more than my own life," Xu Feng solemnly promised Yu Nuan.

"Alright, it's getting late, get up!"

I've said enough words of blessing; I just hope that Xiao Qing can live a happy life, just as I wish.

Xiao Qing, whose face was already wet with tears under the veil, did not cry out loud, but she remembered what Yu Nuan had said: today was her big day.

Xiao Qing was helped into the bridal sedan chair by the matchmaker. She gently wiped away her tears, tried to put on a smile, and looked forward to her married life.

"I'll definitely be happy in the future, right? I'll definitely be happy, Xiao Qing." Xiao Qing asked herself in her heart.

In Yun County, Yu Nuan and her friends didn't have many relatives or friends, so at Xiao Qing's wedding banquet, only Yu Nuan, Qing Yi, some day laborers hired by Yu Nuan, and patients she had previously saved attended. With these people present, the banquet wasn't too deserted.

After seeing off all the guests, Yu Nuan and Qing Yi sat in the empty courtyard.

"Miss, what do you think Xiao Qing is doing right now? Is she not used to being at Xu Feng's house?"

"I don't know." Yu Nuan also wanted to know.

On the day of her return visit to her parents' home, Yu Nuan saw Xiao Qing overflowing with happiness and finally felt relieved. This time, Xiao Qing had made the right choice.

Spring was in full bloom when Wang Qingming's transfer order finally arrived, along with a reward for Yu Nuan.

"This reward came much later than I expected."

When Yu Nuan heard that Shen Mu had given her an imperial decree, ordering her to go and receive it, she complained to Qingyi.

"Miss, please go out quickly! The eunuch who is delivering the imperial decree has been waiting for a while."

After Yu Nuan came out, the eunuch held up the imperial edict high, and Yu Nuan and Qingyi knelt in front of the edict.

The eunuch who was reading the imperial edict began to open it and slowly read its contents.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: The Daoist Yu Nuan of Yunqi Temple has demonstrated exceptional abilities during the plague in Yun County, single-handedly combating the epidemic with remarkable merit..."

Amidst the pile of praise, Yu Nuan realized for the first time that Shen Mu's writing was quite good.

"As a reward, I hereby bestow upon him the title of the greatest physician in the land. So be it!"

After the imperial edict was finally read aloud, Yu Nuan stood up and accepted it.

"Master Yu Nuan, this servant has delivered the Emperor's reward. This is a jade pendant representing the Emperor's status. If you encounter trouble outside, you can use this jade pendant to get help from the government."

After Yu Nuan received the imperial edict, her father-in-law kindly handed her the jade pendant he was carrying.

Yu Nuan was surprised that Shen Mu was so generous, giving her such a valuable gift.

"Then I thank Your Majesty. May I ask your name, sir?"

Yu Nuan shouldn't just call him "father-in-law" directly!

"This servant was once helped by Consort Yu and was granted the surname Zhou. Consort Yu, this servant never thought that I would be able to meet Consort Yu in my lifetime. This life can be considered without regrets."

Yu Nuan never expected that the eunuch who came to read the imperial edict was someone she had crossed paths with in the palace and had helped, but by now time had passed.

"Eunuch Zhou, you must be tired from your journey. But you don't need to call me Consort Yu anymore. I am no longer a concubine in the palace."

"In this servant's heart, Your Majesty will always be Your Majesty. Please take this jade pendant. His Majesty heard that you were traveling abroad, so he instructed this servant to give this jade pendant to Your Majesty in private."

Yu Nuan was unaware that when Physician Wu and his colleagues returned, they publicized her story extensively and even praised her medical skills to the Emperor. Physician Wu and his colleagues were determined to let the Emperor know about her contributions during the plague.

Because of their praise and promotion, Yu Nuan was the subject of much discussion both inside and outside the palace. People gradually remembered the favored concubine and secretly compared Yu Nuan with the current Empress Guo Ziyue.

In terms of appearance, Yu Nuan is superior. In terms of talent, Guo Ziyue was more capable before, but now Yu Nuan's medical skills are said to be superb, and no one can judge her anymore.

These gossips naturally reached Guo Ziyue's ears. Guo Ziyue had already harbored resentment towards Yu Nuan, and now that this had happened, she started picking fights with Shen Mu, preventing him from rewarding Yu Nuan and forbidding anyone from mentioning Yu Nuan's name in front of him. However, Shen Mu disagreed with Guo Ziyue's actions, so the two ended up having a big argument, which is why Yu Nuan's reward came so late.
