The emperor's imperial edict stated that the two of them would get married on the 5th of next month and everything went on as usual.
Before the wedding, in the distant Black City Kingdom, or Russia now, Lian Xin arrived. His name was no longer Lian Xin. He had changed his name.
He hadn't chosen either of the two names he'd once used. His name was Mai Cheng now.
"Why did you suddenly come?" Ning Yue asked.
"Can't I come to a good friend's wedding?" Mai Cheng said.
"Good friend?" Ning Yue was a little confused.
"Or someone from her maiden family?" Mai Cheng said tentatively.
"Maiden family?" Ning Yue repeated.
"Hey, that's enough. Give me some face. I'm from the same place as you. We're considered from the same hometown. Can't I give you a congratulatory gift when you get married?" Mai Cheng said.
"Do you have a fever?" Ning Yue asked again.
