“Shuisheng, Su Qing, you’re here, you’re here? Am I dreaming? Am I dreaming?”

Li Daniu hugged Xiao Zeyu excitedly. His eyes were red, and his voice was choked with sobs. He almost went to hug Su Qing but was pulled back by Xiao Zeyu.

Li Daniu was so happy that he cried. He never thought Xiao Zeyu, already the Emperor, could attend his wedding. This was something that he didn’t even dare to dream of.

“Why didn’t you tell me that you were getting married?”

Xiao Zeyu waited for Li Daniu to calm down before asking him. To be honest, he was a little angry. He felt that Li Daniu didn’t treat him as a brother anymore. Why didn’t he say anything about such a big matter like marriage? Even if he was busy with national affairs and could not come, he should at least have a congratulatory gift, right?

“You are now… I’m just a commoner…!…”

Li Daniu stuttered, but his meaning was clear. He felt that his status was not worth being friends with Xiao Zeyu, and Xiao Zeyu would not attend his wedding.

“Daniu, remember this. We are brothers for life. Our status, wealth, and poverty cannot change that.”

Xiao Zeyu patted his brother’s arm and said solemnly.

Was it because of Qiu Yongkang that his brothers had left him?

Suddenly thinking of Qiu Yongkang, Xiao Zeyu felt a little regretful. If Yongkang had not become his enemy, with his talent, he would have a place in the court.

“Yes, yes, I’ll remember.”

When Li Daniu heard Xiao Zeyu’s words, he nodded vigorously. The fact that he could come all the way here to attend his wedding meant that he was speaking the truth.          5

Li Daniu was reluctant to part with Xiao Zeyu and Jiang Lao Qi. They used to be inseparable, but now that Qiu Yongkang was dead, Jiang Lao Qi had gone to the Northern Barbarians to become the City Lord. Shuisheng had become the Emperor, leaving him alone in Mo City.

He always thought of the happiness he had in the Peach Blossom Cove. At that time, he was carefree. Although sometimes he didn’t have enough to eat, and his clothes and living conditions weren’t as good as now, he still missed that time.

The brothers were all together, and so were the villagers of the Peach Blossom Cove. Although they were poor, they were all pleased. They greeted each other every morning and evening, and the day passed with laughter and chatter. Now that they were separated, it wasn’t easy to gather together.

“Didn’t you tell Seventh Master Jiang?”

Xiao Zeyu asked Li Daniu. He also missed Seventh Brother Jiang. It had been a long time since he last saw his good brother. It was rare for him to come back, so everyone could drink together and have a heart-to-heart talk.

“I told him, but he’s not in the Northern Barbarians. I don’t know when he’ll be back.”

Li Damu’s eyes were filled with disappointment. Of course, he hoped all his good brothers would be present for the wedding.

“Alright, let’s go to the bridal chamber first. I’ll wait for you to come back and drink.”

Xiao Zeyu saw the bride still standing with a veil over her head. He couldn’t delay the two of them from entering the bridal chamber just because he came, so he patted Li Daniu’s shoulder and let him enter the bridal chamber first.

“Then wait for me. Don’t go, don’t go!”

Li Daniu obediently walked back, but after taking two steps, he turned back to remind Xiao Zeyu. Xiao Zeyu smiled and nodded,

“Alright, I won’t leave.”

After Xiao Zeyu and Li Daniu finished talking, they turned their heads and saw Li Shuang’er holding Su Qing’s hand, crying and laughing. They were kissing each other.

Li Shuang’er was already married to the second son of the silk manor. Her life was good, and her m-laws valued Li Shuang’er very much. Her husband also accompanied her back to attend her brother-in-law’s wedding.

Almost all of Peach Blossom Cove’s people had come to attend Li Daniu’s wedding. They couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing. They gathered around to ask about their well-being, appearing especially friendly.

“How is everyone’s life now? If you have any difficulties, just tell me.”

Xiao Zeyu was very approachable. He was no different from when he was in the Peach Blossom Cove. The Peach Blossom Cove was equivalent to his place of rebirth. They could survive because the Peach Blossom Cove accepted him and Xiao Ying.

Now that he could repay them, as long as they didn’t ask for anything related to the country, he could satisfy them.

“Shuisheng, everyone lives well now because of you and Su Qing. We have our land and the seeds that Su Qing sent back. The food we grow is enough to eat. We don’t lack food or water. We wear warm clothes and live well. We don’t have to wander around. Our lives are comfortable.”

The old people of Peach Blossom Cove were very satisfied with their current lives. None of them had any requests. They were very grateful to Xiao Zeyu. Because of him, everyone could live in peace and contentment like gods. “Haha, that’s good. I’m happy as long as everyone can eat and wear warm clothes.”

Xiao Zeyu was very happy. The villagers of Peach Blossom Cove were mostly simple and honest. They were satisfied with just having enough to eat and warm up.

“Can we build a school for the children so that they can serve the country in the future?”

Uncle Wang softly pleaded with Xiao Zeyu. He hoped the children would have a bright future after eating and wearing warm clothes. It would be even better if they could become officials in the court. That would bring honor to their ancestors.

“Didn’t Mo City build a school previously? In the future, all the children in Peach Blossom Cove can go to school for free.”

This request was not excessive at all. Xiao Zeyu asked the Zhizhou of Mo City. In the past, the Zhizhou of Mo City was Xing Ruhai. Later, Xiao Zeyu pulled him out and sent him to the capital to be the Left Prime Minister. The current Zhizhou of Mo City was sent later. His name was Li Fuhai, and he was a talented top-three scholar.

Because Xiao Zeyu valued Mo City and Jingshi Dao, he sent Li Fuhai to be the Zhizhou. He cooperated with Cheng Yu in both civil and military affairs. Mo City was managed quite well.

“Yes.”

Li Fuhai had already recognized the Emperor and the Empress, but he didn’t dare to say anything. He only dared to bow deeply to express his respect for the Emperor. Now that he heard the Emperor’s order, he immediately agreed.

“Not only the children of Peach Blossom Cove but also the children of the wrongdoers. If they want to study, they can also go to school.”

Xiao Zeyu thought for a moment and added,

“A cultured person will not be vicious. A society that understands etiquette will

be more stable. This money is worth it.”

“Yes.”

Li Fuhai looked at the Emperor with gratitude. It was his fortune to be able to follow the wise Emperor. There was hope for the country to get better and better.

“Shuisheng, Su Qing, can you stay for a few days?”

Aunt Li and Uncle Li held and kissed Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing’s hands. They hoped that they could stay for a few more days.

“Auntie Li, we can stay for five days this time.”

Xiao Zeyu replied with a smile. It was already difficult for him to stay in Mo City for five days. After all, the country was busy, and the Emperor could not always be away from the court. That way, there would be a lot of memorials piled up.

“Only five days?”

Auntie Li was very regretful, and the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove were even more regretful. They all wanted to invite Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing over for a meal, but there were so many families who couldn’t get their turn.

Li Daniu rushed back after sending the bride to the bridal chamber, afraid that Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing would leave.

“Shuisheng, let’s get drunk.”

This silly boy had forgotten that he was the groom, and even more so, he had forgotten that Xiao Zeyu would never get drunk.

Alright, I won’t get drunk after a thousand cups.” Xiao Zeyu laughed.

“A guest has arrived!” The gatekeeper called out. Xiao Zeyu and Li Daniu glanced at the door, and their eyes lit up..
