Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

335 Fan Lanying Marriage

After the ceremony ended, the new kingdom name officially became Long Kingdom. Despite the process was arduous, finally they managed to unite the land under one kingdom. The war was not quite over yet, but things could be said heading towards the way they wanted it. Sitting on the throne, Yan listened to the court with a calm face.

Soujin and the others skipped it because they needed to do other matters. Ming Hui was still busy with the matter of marriage, and Fan Lanying also couldn't join the military for the time being because she was busy preparing for her marriage.

"Soujin, how do you plan to send the betrothal gifts?" Soujin's house was in the Long Han city while Jun Hua house was in the Mountain Kingdom. Given the distance, there was no way he could send the gifts to that faraway place.

"In the previous Ming Kingdom capital, don't you have a residence there?" Soujin remarked calmly.

Jun Hua remembered that residence. She nodded her head while stretching her body, "It seems I will be busy preparing for my own marriage too. Why are you setting the time so quickly?"

If she had to be in that city, whose name had now changed to Ming City, there was no way she could attend her best friend wedding. Although she would only stand on the side, she wanted to see her best friend getting married.

"You can stay here and return later. Your servant will accept the gifts first," Soujin answered calmly.

Jun Hua stared blankly. This man was really something. Based on the tradition, she had to prepare a lot of things before her marriage and undergo some annoying ritual. Of course, she didn't have any plan to skip them, but this man's demand made her unable to do most of them.

"There are some rules that I need to follow."

"Just attend the most important thing. Besides, becoming a general, despite being a woman already earned you the popularity as someone different with most of the girls," Soujin added.

Jun Hua didn't know what to say to this man anymore. At the very least, he didn't tell her to not do anything since he too knew that some of them still had to be done. Because of his persuasion, she stayed in Long Han city until Fan Lanying marriage day.

One day before Fan Lanying marriage, Jun Hua came to visit her best friend.

"You seem to be excited about your marriage tomorrow," Jun Hua smiled when she saw her best friend.

"Don't tease me," Fan Lanying pouted, "I'm already feeling extremely nervous here. What about you? Didn't your date for marriage only separated by several days from me?"

"The usual custom will be broken," Jun Hua sighed.

"Its fine, you're still 17 while I'm already 19, so I need to marry quickly," Fan Lanying grinned.

"… You have just turned 19 a few days ago, don't you?" Jun Hua pointed out. In her case, her birthday was still several weeks away, so she was still 17.

"Yes, thank you for your amazing present," Fan Lanying nodded her head with excitement.

Jun Hua waved her hand, "It's nothing. Besides, we might not see each other often anymore."

"Right," Fan Lanying knew that Jun Hua's position was high. She already heard about her holding two identities from the others' report. At first, she was in disbelief, but when she saw for herself how Jun Hua led the soldiers, she was fully convinced that Jun Hua and Jun Min was the same person.

With the latter capabilities, there was no way the people wouldn't want to use her. This would make the two of them unable to meet as their discrepancy in rank was too great. "How's the reparation and all?"

"Everything is going well. The distribution of food and other materials are still needed, but with the trade still going, the economics didn't suffer too much from the war," Jun Hua answered. Because of Yan still holding the trade line safe and all, the economy in their area didn't suffer much. The farmers were still working in their field and they purposely avoided them during the battle.

There were still some damages because of the war. Yan already berated them heavily because of the loss in profit. But all in all, everything was going smoothly.

"I wonder if your wedding can go as planned," Jun Hua suddenly remarked.

"Why is that?"

"Because the role of man and woman between you and Ming Hui often switched," Jun Hua grinned.

Fan Lanying's face turned red. She also realized it herself that she did things like what men would do and it was Ming Hui who instead waited for her from behind. Although she didn't will it, their role often switched which was very unusual in this age and culture.

"If it's about marriage, how can we switch role?"

Facing the raging Fan Lanying, the two of them finally clashed with a battle. Of course, Jun Hua didn't use her full power and only a little bit, yet Fan Lanying still lose within seconds and finally tired out from challenging Jun Hua too much.

After that, the two of them laughed together and Jun Hua bid her farewell because Fan Lanying needed to rest for her marriage.

Although Ming Hui indeed got troubles because of the custom, they finished the marriage without any problem. Inside the hall full of festive decoration, the ceremony was held. Many people come because Ming Hui as the prince of Long Kingdom and Fan Lanying was the commander of 2000 soldiers in the army.

Aside from that, because Ming Yan was attending, none of the nobles dared to skip. If even the emperor was present, how could they be audacious and didn't attend the wedding?

Standing in front of the crowd, Fan Lanying would be lying if she said that she was not nervous. This was not the usual battlefield, so she didn't have the same feeling as when she was standing in front of her soldiers. However, sensing Ming Hui beside her calmed her down. Then, the ceremony started.

"First, bow to the heaven and earth!"

"Second, bow to parents!"

"Third, husband and wife bow to each other!"

Seeing Fan Lanying walked with Ming Hui to their room, Jun Hua smiled happily. Now her best friend can settle down… or not.

"Hua'er, let's go," Soujin beckoned to her to go.

Jun Hua nodded, "By the way, Soujin, I got a letter from your mother saying that she wanted the marriage date to be changed."

"…We can talk about it later."

After the usual drinking wine, Ming Hui returned to the room. His alcohol tolerance was quite good because Yan often asked him to drink. Of course, the one who passed out in the end was always Yan.

Inside the room, the bride and the groom were not doing what other people expected. Fan Lanying was currently struggling with her hair because the maid made it really complicated. Since she herself never made her hair and only tied it at the simplest way, there was no way she can undo the hair by herself.

Seeing her struggling, Ming Hui found her to be cute and forgot to help the other party.

"Isn't it the groom task to undo the hair?" Fan Lanying glared at him.

"Sorry, sorry," Ming Hui moved his hand and starts to undo the hair. Although he was not that proficient in this kind of things, he still can undo the hair without much trouble.

"Why does it look so easy for you when it's that hard for me?" Fan Lanying stared at the hairpin.

"Well, I live as a woman for more than one decade," Ming Hui answered, "And I have to do my hair alone most of the time."

Hearing his answer, Fan Lanying remembered Jun Hua's remark again. Truthfully, Jun Hua was not the first one to tell that to her, but she only remembered hers because it was recently said.

"What is it?"

"I just remember Jun Hua remark that the two of us often switch our role," Fan Lanying said with hesitation.

Ming Hui was stunned for a few seconds before laughing. Inside his mind, he had told the same things to himself over and over, especially during the war. However, that was only because she was different than most of the girl.

"Why are you laughing?" Fan Lanying sulked.

"Sorry, sorry, I have the same thought when I remember our condition at the war," Ming Hui answered, but before Fan Lanying retorted, he pushed her to the bed, "However, we are not in the frontline anymore, so our role has been switched back."

Fan Lanying blushed at Ming Hui sudden advance. That night was going to be long and sweet for them.
