After Liu Li's confirmation, although the people in the field were still somewhat confused, no one said anything more.
It has been confirmed that he is the King of Zhenbei, and they are all his family members. If you continue to question him, it would be considered as having ill intentions.
What's more, it's a happy day now!
After that, there was no more disturbance. Finally, the ceremonial officer said, "Send her to the bridal chamber."
A fairly grand and lively ceremony ended.
In fact, such a ceremony is just icing on the cake for Xing Bang. Liu Li is the same. He doesn't care about the matter itself at all. The most important thing is the interest relationship.
When disaster strikes, all family members can be sent away, let alone a relatively favored daughter.
A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out!
Liu Li now has the same thought in his mind.
Soon, Liu Zhixi, who was dressed so gorgeously that she looked like a fairy, left the hall with the help of her maid.
No matter how early or late it is, one must go to the bridal chamber and wait for the groom.
Then the banquet began.
Xing Bang sat next to Liu Li at the main table, and some high-ranking civil and military officials sat around in order, and the rest of the people also sat down.
Liu Li was obviously not as excited as he was at the beginning. The little episode just now made him feel a little unhappy, and he didn't get an explanation from Xing Bang until the banquet was over.
However, Liu Li was a prince after all, and he was shrewd and magnanimous. Naturally, he would not show it. He expressed his joy enthusiastically and exchanged greetings for a long time before the banquet officially began. The place immediately became lively.
"My dear son-in-law, come here, let me introduce you to you."
"Yeah, okay."
Xing Bang nodded. These people were all important figures, so Liu Li naturally had to introduce them.
Liu Li first pointed at the person sitting next to him on his right.
"My dear son-in-law, this is my number one strategist, the military officer Cheng Zhihai."
It was none other than the person who had just asked Liu Li in person.
Hearing this, Cheng Zhihai was the first to pick up the wine glass, "I have heard of the reputation of the County Master for a long time. Now that he can come to our northern border, our Zhenbei Army is really more powerful."
"I offer a toast to Lord Junma, and hope that Lord Junma will support me in the future!"
Xing Bang smiled slightly and also raised his wine glass, "Master Cheng is too polite."
There was no extra words, he just drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Although Xing Bang didn't know Cheng Zhihai, Liu Zhixi told him privately what kind of person he was.
Switching to Northern Qi and sending the crown prince to show sincerity were all the plans of this man.
However, having said that, although this person is not a good person and a traitor, in a sense, he is still of great help to Xing Bang.
If it weren't for him, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
Moreover, Xing Bang could probably guess that Liu Li might not be as friendly to this as he seemed on the surface.
It's very simple. Anyone who knows the situation can guess that it's impossible for Liu Li not to feel remorseful. Moreover, things have already had twists and turns. Xing Bang's arrival will only make Liu Li hate Meng Zhihai even more.
Because, if that were the case, Liu Li would not easily consider defecting to Northern Qi. The best outcome would be that the prince would not be able to come back easily.
There was only one reason why Liu Li remained silent, and that was that the cooperation with Xing Bang had just begun, so naturally he had no idea what would happen next.
Then, Liu Li introduced the remaining people one by one.
Xing Bang just exchanged some superficial greetings and didn't even remember their names. There was no need to remember them either, as they were all incompetent people who were just trying to curry favor with the powerful.
There are no talented people available. On the other hand, if Liu Li had a pillar of talent under his command, the situation would not have ended like this today.
The entire banquet lasted for nearly two hours before it ended. Liu Li had drunk too much and had to be helped to rest early.
Xing Bang naturally drank a lot as well, but for him who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, it was no big deal. In the end, he pretended to be drunk, and everyone left one after another.
Otherwise, with so many people taking turns to toast us, we would probably have to drink until the evening.
For a bunch of scoundrels, the fact that they can still drink until now is already a great honor.
Xing Bang didn't care about Liu Li, thinking that he would find him when he woke up, so he went straight back to the bridal chamber.
When I pushed the door open, I saw only Liu Zhixi sitting at the table, eating melon seeds as if nothing had happened. There was no maid with her either. I guess she had been sent away.
Seeing Xing Bang coming in, Liu Zhixi hurried forward and took Xing Bang's arm.
"Husband, are you okay?"
This name is no longer unfamiliar to Liu Zhixi. She has become accustomed to it and it naturally comes from the heart.
"fine!"
Xing Bang responded, and then the two of them came to the table and sat down. Liu Zhixi quickly poured him a cup of tea.
Xing Bang drank two sips, then looked at Liu Zhixi, "Xi'er, don't you need to wait for your husband to lift your veil?"
"Ah? Well, I'm thirsty!"
"Besides, it's not comfortable to cover it like that all the time, and I forgot about it. Why don't I cover it again now?"
Liu Zhixi said it a little embarrassedly and in a coquettish tone.
Xing Bang smiled and said, "Then don't just stand there, quickly finish building it and go back to where you should be."
Although he doesn't care about these things, the ritual is still very romantic and everyone must take their place.
Hearing this, Liu Zhixi hummed lightly. She didn't care too much about the red tape, and she was not very happy about this ceremony.
To put it bluntly, it's all just acting!
However, since Xing Bang had said so, she was willing to obey him, and subconsciously, she did not care at all. After all, this was her first time as a bride.
All women have such a longing. The moment the beloved man lifts the red veil, it marks the real beginning of the relationship between the two.
Liu Zhixi sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up the red veil next to her, and was about to cover herself with it when she suddenly thought of something and stopped what she was doing.
Then she said, "Oh, my dear, I almost forgot something!"
"Mother came here early and told you to go to her place first if you have nothing to do after the banquet!"
What is this operation?
We haven't had the wedding night yet, mother-in-law, why don't you let us go over and chat first?
However, things are different now. In this situation, something must have happened.
Xing Bang didn't have many questions, but he still asked, "Let me go alone?"
Liu Zhixi nodded, "Yes, I guess there is something important I want to tell you."
"By the way, husband, if there is a suitable opportunity, please persuade mother."
Xing Bang nodded knowingly, understanding her thoughts. Naturally, he decided to persuade her mother to change her mind and leave Yanjing with her.
