As soon as Shi Lei returned to his residence, a decree came from the palace.
Two decrees came one after another.
The first decree conferred him the title of Duke Zhenguo and gave him a mansion of the same grade as well as countless gold, silver, and treasures.
The second decree was for Duke Zhenguo Shi Lei and Princess Fei Luan to marry each other.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shi Lei kowtowed. He had never been so sincere before.
The eunuch who delivered the decree saw his forehead turn red. He sighed in his heart that Duke Zhenguo was an honest man. Other people just needed to put on an act to show their gratitude.
But he didn't know how long Shi Lei had waited for this day and how long he had endured it.
Qu Fei Luan was not young anymore. The Emperor and Empress were very anxious. It was rare for her to agree to the marriage herself. The next day, the Emperor found someone from the Imperial Astronomer to calculate the date and pick the nearest auspicious day.
Even if it was the nearest, it would be two months later.
The princesses of this dynasty usually started preparing for their weddings half a year in advance. They had never been so anxious.
If it was any other princess, people would say that she was not favored and the dowry would be overstated.
But no one dared to think that it was Gu Shengyin.
Anyway, this Princess Fei Luan was never a person who played by the rules.
In the palace, the Emperor and Empress kept a close eye on everything that was sent to Princess Fei Luan. The Empress had to check everything carefully.
There was also the Emperor, who had ordered his men to open up his own treasury. He wanted nothing more than to empty out the entire treasury and use it to supplement his daughter.
Her husband, who had served her for dozens of years, was speechless. From the looks of it, those who didn't know better would think that Princess Fei Luan was going to get married to some desolate place, as if they would never see her again in this life.
My Majesty, Princess Fei Luan is in the capital.
Anyway, the servants didn't dare to be careless with the Empress' attitude. They prepared everything to the best of their ability.
Two months later.
Ten miles of red dowry.
From the palace gate to the Princess' residence.
Shi Lei sat on a tall horse and looked at the red makeup in his eyes. He actually had a surreal feeling in his heart.
Five years ago, he met that fairy-like beautiful woman and followed her out of the mountains.
At the very beginning, all he wanted was to stay by her side.
Until now, he could finally take her under his wing in a justifiable manner.
Duke Zhenguo's Manor.
Everyone could tell that the Marquis was in a good mood today.
There was a slight smile on his handsome face, and even the aura around him became gentler.
That's right, there are three joyous events in life, the wedding night.
Especially when the bride was such a beauty. Which man wouldn't be happy?
There were a few men who had been rejected by Gu Shengyin who were jealous and secretly planned to get this lucky guy drunk.
Shi Lei pretended not to know anything and did not reject anyone.
In the end, the Marquis of Country Guarding Marquis flew away, and the ground was littered with people.
Many of Shi Lei's subordinates who had fought alongside him looked at those young masters with disdain.
Master Hou could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. How could he drink with these gigolos? You want to defeat me too?
He was simply overestimating himself!
Actually, Shi Lei was a little drunk.
But he didn't know if it was the wine or the red sky that was intoxicating.
She was waiting for him in the room.
He walked steadily towards the bridal chamber.
