Chapter 58
The next day, just after Li Ru'an had breakfast, Li Yuan's entourage hurried over and said that the imperial guard of honor was coming to Li's mansion, and the whole family was asked to go out to welcome them.

Knowing that it was the imperial decree of marriage from the sage, Xuegu was overjoyed, and hurriedly changed her into a black embroidered skirt, tidied up and walked out of the Ping An Pavilion.

A group of people from the Li Mansion waited outside the gate in splendid attire, attracting many passers-by to stop, and then a group of palace maids and inner eunuchs holding bright yellow brocade banners surrounded a gorgeous carriage, and walked majestically to the steps of the Li Mansion, followed by a group of gossip passerby.

Eunuch Cao stepped out of the carriage, and with a flick of Buddha Chen, he stepped forward and bowed slightly to Li Yuan and the others with a friendly smile.

"Our house is for Mrs. Fan, Mr. Zuo, and Miss Li. Please greet me."

"Don't dare, Eunuch Cao is here in person, I'm really honored!" Li Yuan raised his head and chest under the envious eyes of the passers-by, and smiled boldly.

"Your Majesty Zuo is very polite. Our family came here today to receive His Majesty's will. I would like to congratulate the young lady first." Eunuch Cao respectfully bowed to Li Ru'an again.

"Eunuch Cao is polite, nanny." Li Ru'an, who was dressed brightly and elegantly in red, bowed his knees and responded calmly.

Xuegu went over and stuffed a small brocade bag, but Eunuch Cao quickly refused, "Miss, you are welcome, this is our family's business, but I can't afford the reward from you."

"Eunuch Cao said he was happy, so why don't I say that I won't give you a bonus? Take it, be careful, it's not a respect." Li Ru'an smiled, and his face was so perfect, which caused everyone to discuss in a low voice.

"Hey, then our family will be respectful rather than obedient, Miss Xie." Eunuch Cao took the brocade bag with a smile, and he was a little surprised by the weight inside.

"The Li family, the daughter of Li Yuan, Prime Minister of the Left of Daqing, stepped forward to listen to the order!" After exchanging pleasantries, Eunuch Cao stood on the steps, swept the dust away, opened the bright yellow brocade cloth in his hand, and shouted loudly.

Li Ru'an came out, knelt down slowly with his hands on his eyebrows.

"Bong, God is in charge, Your Majesty has said that the Li family is like a pair of doctors with virtue and virtue, with a benevolent heart and skill, and a wonderful hand to rejuvenate. Specially, I will give the name of the female doctor, and give 3000 taels of gold and silver as a reward!"

"Wow! It's a female doctor!"

"I didn't expect the female doctor to be so beautiful!"

Pedestrians stepped on tiptoes one after another, talking a lot.

"My daughter, Li's family, accepts the decree. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Long live your majesty." Li Ru'an took the imperial decree from Eunuch Cao, and kowtowed to thank you.

Eunuch Cao took another roll of brocade cloth from the inner eunuch, opened it and continued to shout, "The Li family will receive the order in peace."

Li Ru'an sighed secretly, handed the imperial decree to Li Ren, knelt down and kowtowed again.

"The empress dowager's decree, the Li family Ru'an has contributed to the healing of His Majesty, and rewards include twenty pieces of pearl and hairpin jewelry, twenty pieces of Huainan brocade, twenty bottles of jade ornaments, and a pair of Qingyun jade Ruyi..."

Following Eunuch Cao's reading, the guard of honor carried black red wooden boxes and opened them in front of Li Ru'an. Under the sunlight, everyone squinted their eyes.

"My daughter Li's family accepts the decree, thank the Queen Mother for the reward, and the empress is a thousand years old." Li Ru'an received the imperial decree, knelt down and got up again, sighing secretly, waiting to kneel down again.

Eunuch Cao smiled and took another piece of brocade cloth and opened it, shouting, "Daqing Zuo Chancellor Li Yuanhe's residence listens to the order!"

The Li family knelt down in unison, the scene was spectacular.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor said, my younger brother Xiao Huan has a noble character, filial piety, and both civil and military skills. Today, there are Li's parents and daughters like An, who are well-behaved, elegant, gentle, and have both ability and political integrity. In my boudoir, I specially bestow a marriage letter, bestowing on you the title of Prince Huan's official concubine, and entrusting all the etiquette to the Ministry of Rites and Si Tiange to manage together, choose a good day and auspicious day to get married, hereby!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

"Wow! The lady doctor and King Huan are a perfect match!"

"That's right, the female doctor is talented, beautiful, and kind-hearted. This is the Princess Huan in my mind!"

Pedestrians chatted excitedly, until the guard of honor left and the Li family members entered the mansion, they gradually dispersed. There was only a luxurious carriage left on the corner of the street. Behind the half-raised curtain, Han Yu watched the dark red figure disappear into the gate, and slowly exhaled. Suppressing the sadness in his heart, he has been looking for a chance to talk to Li Ru'an these days, but either the occasion was wrong or the carriage got stuck. He knew that all of this was done by Xiao Huan.

In the main house of the Li Mansion, there was a happy event at home. Li Yuanyang was elated and laughed heartily. He was overjoyed to see that the courtyard was full of boxes with the royal logo on them.

Fan nodded with a smile, and couldn't help being proud in her heart. After all, Daqing had never had the honor of issuing three imperial edicts at the same time, and her Li family was the first.

"Today, I can be considered to be in the limelight, haha, pass on the order, the whole family will reward one month's salary, from the truth! Congratulations to Miss!" Li Yuan repeatedly looked at the three imperial decrees, unable to put them down.

"Thank you, master, and congratulations to Miss!" the servants said in unison with joyful brows and You Rongyan.

Li Ren couldn't be happier, he held Li Rong and bowed to Li Ru'an, his eyes were flushed, "Aren congratulates sister."

Li Rong cupped his hands like his elder brother, and said in a childish voice, "Aren congratulates sister!" After being corrected by his elder brother, he knocked and shouted, "Arong congratulates sister!"

Everyone laughed happily, Li Ruyun stepped forward and knelt down, and said with a joyful smile, "Ayun congratulates Eldest Sister!"

Li Ruruo stared at those things curiously, Li Ruyue beside her had already pinched her palm, her gloomy face couldn't force a smile, she stood up and bent her knees casually, "Congratulations, Eldest Sister."

"Thank you." Li Ru'an did not ignore the fierceness in her eyes. It seemed that to prevent future troubles, she had to take care of Aunt Jiang's affairs before leaving. What a wave.

"Move the boxes in the yard to the Anran Pavilion and register them in the warehouse. Be careful and don't knock them over." Fan smiled and ordered.

After everyone retreated, only Li Yuanfan was left in the room, Li Ru'an said, "Grandmother, father, in a few days, I will receive a secret order from the sage to travel to the north with King Huan."

"What? What are you going to do in the north? Aren't you and King Huan about to get married soon?" Li Yuan was taken aback, and quickly sat over and asked.

"The wedding will take at least three months after the next year, and King Huan and I will come back before then. As for the matter of going to the northern border, if you follow His Majesty's secret order, you can't talk about it, and your father can't ask more questions." Said.

"Okay, let's not ask. Your Majesty has an order, so you just do it. Now you and Prince Huan are considered a fiancée, so your reputation will not be hindered." Fan stopped her son from talking, and now she believes that there are more granddaughters than sons.

"Because it's a secret order, it can't be passed on to the outside world. My grandmother and father said that I'm waiting to get married in my boudoir, and I don't need to see outsiders. I have already told my uncle at the Gao family that no one will come to the door."

Although Li Yuan wanted to ask something again, but was stopped by his mother's eyes, he couldn't go against the holy will.

"There is one more thing. I am the housekeeper now, but what will happen to the mansion after I go out? Grandma is old and can't work hard. Is there someone else in my father's mind?" Li Ru'an looked at Li Yuan and asked lightly.

Li Yuan nodded, stood up and cupped his hands towards Fan, "Mother, my son wants to mention Jiang Li as his successor, what does mother want?"

Fan was surprised, thought for a moment and said, "Looking at the aunts in the mansion, it seems that Jiang Li is the only one who is suitable. Although she is not from a high family background, she has a gentle temperament, so I made the decision to point her out to you. What Ruan said is right, it is a good thing for you to succeed someone from a low family background, so you can make the decision."

"Father, it's not something worth publicizing to leave your stepmother again. It's inevitable that people will catch up on the details and pester you endlessly. It's better to keep it simple."

"Okay, my father will discuss with the elders of the clan tomorrow, and find an auspicious day to settle the matter, so that someone can arrange the marriage for you." Li Yuan nodded in agreement.
