At night, Li Zhen sat alone under the old locust tree in the yard, quietly pondering. Although tomorrow will be his wedding, he did not have any expectation or excitement to marry. On the contrary, he still had a trace of confusion in his heart, and he was full of confusion about his future.

The reason why he agreed to the Di family's request to leave the capital was because he knew that the Zhang Yizhi brotherhood had been in power for many years. If he was in the capital, he would definitely become the target of the Zhang brothers. His strength was not enough to fight against the Zhang brothers. Di Renjie also saw it, so he advised him to go to the local area to develop.

The key to reaching a consensus between Di Renjie was his choice between the Li brothers. Although Li Dan and Li Xian had a good relationship on the surface and joined forces to fight against the Wu family, since Li Zhen discovered that the Xingtang Association appeared in Fangzhou was a person sent by Li Dan to pretend to be a lie, he knew that the two brothers also had murderous intent, and Li Dan obviously wanted to use the Xingtang Association to cut off Li Xian's future.

If Lai Junchen had not been too ambitious and would have beaten the Li family in one fell swoop, the two brothers would have turned against each other. But Li Zhen knew that there was only one throne. Once Wu family lost and Li family would return to the throne, the struggle between Li Dan and Li Xian would be inevitable.

At that time, how should he choose between the second Li?

In history, Li Xian became the emperor first, but after Li Xian was poisoned by Wei, Li Longji and Princess Taiping joined forces to launch a palace coup, and Li Dan became the emperor in the end.

If he followed history and chose Li Xian, he would inevitably be liquidated by Li Dan in the end. But if he supported Li Dan first, neither Li Xian nor Wei would let him go. He knew that Li Xian was actually a very scheming person and was also cruel enough.

In fact, Li Zhen married Di Yan as his wife, which is equivalent to standing together with Di Renjie in politics and choosing to support Li Dan. So will Li Xian be indifferent to his choice?

Li Zhen's heart was full of contradictions and confusion. He wanted to avoid this matter and not think about it, but as the marriage got closer, it meant that his final side was getting closer and closer, and he had to think about it.

"A Zhen!"

The voice of the eldest sister came from outside the yard, interrupting his thoughts. Li Zhen stood up and saw the eldest sister rushing in like a gust of wind, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Quan looked unhappy, "I'm going to go to the wedding tomorrow morning, why didn't you do anything?"

"What do you want to do?" Li Zhen looked at his eldest sister in confusion. His thoughts had not completely changed from his worries just now.

“What to do?”

Li Quan put his waist on his waist, widened his eyes, almost roaring, "Where is your majesty? You said you are here to find him, but where are the people now? Have you tried your auspicious server? My mom said you haven't tried any of them, how can you go to welcome the bride tomorrow?"

Li Zhen slapped his forehead and actually forgot about the princess. He hurriedly said, "I'll go find Jiuzhi now!"

"Nonsense! Jiuzhi is already married, how can he be a prime minister? He is not good at small-smile. His appearance is too weak, but fortunately I have already thought of it for you."

Li Quan's tone was a little gentler, "I just went to find Zhang Li, and he promised to be your prime minister. You can try out my clothes for me immediately and go immediately."

Under the threat of her eldest sister, Li Zhen had to follow her quickly to the back house...

Just as Li Zhen tried on wedding clothes in the back house, the prime minister Li Dan also walked slowly in the back garden with his hands behind his back. The eldest son Li Chengqi followed his father. Li Dan walked to an apricot tree and stopped. He stared at the green apricots all over the tree for a moment and asked lightly: "Li Zhen will marry Di Xiang's daughter tomorrow!"

"Yes! There will be no more emergencies this time." Li Chengqi replied in a low voice.

Li Dan smiled with his hands behind his back, "If he married Di Xiang's daughter, he should understand his position. I want to express it well."

He turned around and said to his eldest son, "Give him the pair of white jade screens I have treasured as a gift for me to give him a happy celebration."

Li Chengqi was shocked. The pair of white jade screens were given to his father by the emperor's grandfather. They were priceless and one of his father's favorite treasures. His father actually wanted to give him to Li Zhen. This really surprised Li Chengqi. His father valued Li Zhen too much! But he thought about it again, maybe it was for Di Renjie.

"Is my father trying to win over the country of Di?"

"There is one thing, but not exactly. Li Zhen is a rare talent. He is related to whether I can successfully restore the position in the future. Before, he always favored his brother because of Shangguan Wan'er. However, I know that he and Shangguan Wan'er have gradually separated, and now they have married the daughter of Di. I believe he will slowly stand on my side."

Li Dan smiled confidently and added: "I also believe in Gao Fujun's judgment that marriage is a political union. Li Zhen married the daughter of the Prime Minister Di. He not only favored Li, but also stood on my side unless the Prime Minister Di no longer supported me."

Only then did Li Chengqi understand his father's deep meaning. He pondered for a moment and said carefully: "Will the third uncle attack Li Zhen?"

"This won't be!"

Li Dan smiled and said, "After all, the Li family can't fight in the middle of the moment. My third uncle and I have a tacit understanding, but... it will be hard to say in the future."

Speaking of this, Li Dan said to his eldest son again: "Go and inquire about what gift did your third uncle give to Li Zhen marry this time? In addition, tomorrow you will attend Li Zhen's wedding on behalf of me."

"Boy understand!"...

The sky gradually became brighter, and the gate of Li Zhenfu in Fushanfang opened, and the wedding team began to set off in a mighty manner. Walking in the front was the ritual band. Thirty musicians with bright clothes and fat and strong bodies were playing the suona, beating gongs and drums. The drum music shook the sky, attracting a large number of onlookers.

Following closely behind was a team of wedding money dressed in a dozen inner guards, carrying more than a dozen baskets of wedding money, throwing them along the way, attracting waves of looting from children.

Behind was a large and gorgeous carriage, covered with red belts and green, with a big red knot tied on the roof. The groom Li Zhen was riding a horse in front of the carriage. He wore a gauze hat on his head, a green and red silk wedding dress, black leather boots, and a wedding flower on his chest, full of energy and joy.

Beside him was the prime minister Zhang Li. Zhang Li was wearing similar clothes to Li Zhen, but he did not wear Xihua. This was the most important difference between the two of them. Behind the carriage were there were entourages carrying various boxes of gifts, with nearly a hundred people.

A bride-welcoming team composed of more than 100 people walked towards Xiuyefang happily, and more and more people were watching on the street. This kind of bride-welcoming team was extremely common, almost every day, and everyone was convinced. However, Li Zhen's marriage to the daughter of Prime Minister Di made everyone very interested. Especially Li Zhen defeated Lai Junchen, which made countless people even more grateful to him and rushed to the street to congratulate him.

"Congratulations to General Li!" someone shouted loudly.

"Congratulations to General Li!" The people on both sides congratulated with a smile.

Li Zhen clasped his fists to everyone and expressed his gratitude to everyone. When he walked through an intersection, he saw a carriage parked more than ten steps away from the intersection. The carriage made Li Zhen quite familiar. He couldn't help but take a look at the carriage. He saw that behind the thin gauze curtains in the car window, a pair of sad eyes were silently staring at him.

Li Zhen's heart was shocked suddenly. He suddenly recognized these beautiful eyes. He was a little stunned. He held the reins and let the horse lead him forward. However, he did not look back and kept staring at the eyes behind the curtain.

At this time, the curtain of the car slowly opened, revealing Wang Qingyu's beautiful eyes full of tears, staring blankly at Li Zhen who was constantly moving away. There seemed to be thousands of words in the tears, and there were endless sadness and despair.

As Li Zhen became farther and farther away from the bride-welcoming team, he kept looking back and looking here. Finally, his figure gradually disappeared from the street. A string of tears flowed down Wang Qingyu's eyes and crossed Bai Yu's face. She lowered her head, pulled up the curtain of the carriage, turned around, and slowly headed towards the city gate...

The Di Mansion in Xiuyefang is also busy. Today is the happy day for Di Yan to get married. The Di Mansion has been busy for several months. Although Di Renjie asked to hold a simple wedding, his simplicity was limited to financial gifts. He had to have all the procedures and things he should do. All kinds of extremely cumbersome details must be missing. As well as relatives who came from their hometown and old friends who came to congratulate the wedding, they must be arranged one by one. However, these things were handled by Di Renjie's wife.

In a small attic in the mansion, Di Yan was wearing a red wedding dress and a phoenix crown, sitting quietly beside the bed. She put on makeup and looked even more gorgeous and charming. Her mother also opened her mouth for her. From today on, she will marry a woman and start a new life. She doesn't even know if she is ready.

However, she was going to marry her husband whom she loved deeply, which made her deeply grateful. Thinking of the wedding night tonight and the wedding night that her mother told her last night, her face felt hot and she felt extremely shy.

"Where is my swallow?"

The old lady's voice came from outside the door, and a few maids walked in with the trembling old lady Di. The old lady's health has obviously deteriorated this year. Everyone was worried about how long she could live, which was one of the reasons why Di Renjie agreed to Di Yan's marriage.

Di Yan quickly got up and held her grandmother, "Why is grandmother here?"

The old lady grinned, "Let me see what the bride and grandchildren look like?"

She took Di Yan's hand and looked up and down, nodding with satisfaction, "No, it's very beautiful. Such a beautiful lady is really cheap, that young man Li Zhen."

"What is grandmother talking about?" Di Yan complained, lowered her head embarrassedly. She also felt that the guy was a little cheaper. She seemed to have not agreed to marry him yet, so he was about to come to marry him. The old lady smiled and pulled Di Yan to sit down, "Have your father talked to you?"

Di Yan nodded, "Dad told me to calm down from now on. Don't go out casually, take care of my husband and children at home, manage my family well, and let my husband not worry about family affairs."

"Your father is right, half of it is wrong. It is right to manage the family well, but it seems that it is not time to take care of his husband and children. Don't go out casually. I think this is a bit too strict. For example, if your husband goes to the polo game, can't you go and watch it? Your grandfather took me to the stadium to watch the game. I think it's okay to go out properly. Of course, Brother Li is not the kind of old-fashioned person like your father."

"Thank you for your concern." Di Yan whispered. She also agreed with her grandmother's point of view. How could she bear it if she locked her at home all day? She was still confused about this problem.
