Chapter 128 People coming from the capital
The morning sun shone into the Li family's courtyard, bringing a touch of warm golden light to this quiet farmyard. Li Fang held a bowl of steaming soy milk in his hand, his face filled with a satisfied and happy smile.
"Sister, this soy milk is so sweet and fragrant. I haven't had it for a long time." Li Fang took a sip of soy milk and sighed with satisfaction.
"If it tastes good, drink more. There's more in the pot!" Li Xiaoxiao responded with a smile, her eyes falling gently on her brother's face.
After breakfast, Li Xiaoxiao was about to go out to collect grass for the pigs when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves outside the door.
She opened the door curiously and saw two strange and gorgeous carriages parked at the door.
When the driver saw Li Xiaoxiao coming out, he quickly jumped off the cart and asked with a bow, "Excuse me, is this Miss Li Xiaoxiao?"
"Yes, may I ask who you are...?" Li Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, her eyes scanning the other person.
"We are from the capital." The driver answered respectfully, with a barely perceptible awe and respect in his tone.
At this time, two handsome men got out of the carriage. After getting off, they turned around and helped an elderly eunuch down from the carriage. Although this eunuch was old, his temperament was still calm and majestic, which made people feel awe.
Li Xiaoxiao looked at these people. Judging from their attire and temperament, they must be eunuchs from the palace. She couldn't help but feel surprised and curious, wondering why these people from the capital had suddenly visited.
The villagers had never seen such a scene before, so they came forward to watch curiously.
They discussed and speculated about the identities and intentions of these people. Some even began to wonder if Li Xiaoxiao had made some mistake and was being visited by a high-ranking official from the capital.
When Li Xiaoxiao heard the villagers' discussions, she couldn't help but feel both amused and helpless.
She knew the villagers had good intentions, but their speculation was completely off base. She hurried forward, bowed to the eunuch, and said, "I didn't know you were coming, sir. I apologize for not welcoming you."
The leading eunuch smiled slightly and looked at Li Xiaoxiao quietly. Although the girl in front of him came from the mountains, she had a calm and peaceful temperament. She behaved gracefully when she saw them. The eunuch couldn't help but look at Li Xiaoxiao with a higher opinion.
The leading eunuch said, "Miss Li, you are welcome. We are here on the orders of the Imperial Concubine to bring Miss Li a wedding gift."
"Royal Concubine?" Li Xiaoxiao's mouth dropped open in surprise. She had never expected that these people from the capital were actually sent by Yun Che's sister, Royal Concubine Yun. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she felt the Yun family's care and attention.
The eunuch nodded and continued, "The Imperial Concubine said that although she and Miss Li had never met, she had always admired her talent and character. Now that Miss Li is about to marry my son, she specially ordered us to send these gifts as a token of her affection."
As he spoke, the eunuch waved his hand, signaling the two men behind him to take the gifts off the carriage. The two men deftly unloaded the gift boxes one by one and neatly stacked them in the Li family's courtyard.
The villagers exclaimed in amazement when they saw these exquisite gift boxes. They knew that these gift boxes must contain priceless treasures, and they could not help but envy Li Xiaoxiao.
It was also at this time that the villagers learned that Li Xiaoxiao's betrothal partner was actually a young master from a large family in the capital. According to the eunuch, Yun Che's sister, who had been chatting and laughing with them before, was actually the imperial concubine of the current dynasty!
"Oh my God, I didn't expect that the man Xiaoxiao is getting engaged to is such a high-ranking official in the capital!" An aunt in the crowd shouted excitedly.
Li Xiaoxiao didn't want to be so high-profile, but there were indeed too many people around at the moment. It was estimated that it wouldn't be long before everyone in the village would know who she married.
Li Xiaoxiao hurriedly invited the few people in to avoid being watched by others outside. Bai Shi, who had already rushed out after hearing the news, was also surprised and a little scared when she saw the clothes of the few people invited in by Li Xiaoxiao.
Seeing Bai like this, Li Xiaoxiao had no choice but to invite the eunuchs into the main hall to sit down and made them a pot of good tea.
Li Xiaoxiao looked at the gifts, her heart filled with excitement and gratitude. She bowed deeply to the eunuch and said gratefully, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for your generous gifts. I am truly flattered. Please convey my gratitude to the Imperial Concubine."
The eunuch smiled slightly and said, "Miss Li, you are too polite. This is what we should do."
The eunuch smiled and nodded, saying, "Miss Li, there's no need to be so polite. The Imperial Concubine has something else for me to convey."
Li Xiaoxiao quickly asked, "Excuse me, sir, does the Imperial Concubine have any other instructions?"
The eunuch cleared his throat and said, "The Imperial Concubine said that she would come in person to congratulate Miss Li and the Young Master on their wedding day.
Li Xiaoxiao was even more excited and expectant when she heard this. She knew that Concubine Yun was of noble status, and that coming in person to congratulate them was undoubtedly a great blessing to them.
Seeing how sensible and polite Li Xiaoxiao was, the eunuch began to feel a little more favorable towards her. He nodded and said, "In that case, we will take our leave. Miss Li, please stay. There is no need to see you off."
Li Xiaoxiao hurriedly escorted them out of the yard.
When the villagers saw those people leave, they also dispersed. They knew that these people from the capital were not people they could afford to marry, so they did not continue to watch.
Li Xiaoxiao looked at the exquisite gift boxes in the yard, her heart filled with emotion and anticipation. She knew that these gifts were not just gifts from the Yun family, but also symbols of their future happiness. She decided to treasure these gifts and use them as a testimony to her and Yun Che's love.
At the same time, in the distant capital, Yun Che also received the news that Li Xiaoxiao received a gift.
He felt relieved and satisfied, knowing that his sister had expressed his feelings to Li Xiaoxiao on his behalf. He looked forward to their wedding soon and to spending the rest of their lives together.
All of this will turn into a grand wedding in the near future, becoming the most unforgettable moment in their lives. Li Xiaoxiao and Yun Che's love story will also reach a new climax and peak on this day.
