Chapter 410 Three Joys in One Family
“No, Zhou Yu said that your Nangong family is his royal family and will live in the Great Zhou.
As for my parents, they can be brought to live with Simon.
My grandfather's family has already gone to Mongolia, my uncle has become a general in Mongolia, and Uncle Ji Huanan and his men have been sent to Laos. The only people we can use here are my Bai family members!"
"It's okay. This country belongs to you anyway. It's just right to use your people."
"Then... you won't feel like a son-in-law?"
Bai Li asked, looking at Nangong Min's face carefully.
"You should know that after you marry me, you will live in Simon, and your position as the crown prince will be given to your brother. From now on, you will have nothing but me!"
Nangong Min responded with deep affection, "Having you in this life is enough!"
Hey!
Were boys in ancient times so innocent?
You don’t want status, fame, or money, just one person?
Although Bai Li complained, she absolutely believed in Nangong Min.
He is a man of his word. At least for now, he will not do anything sinister and mean by saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.
"Your parents are both in Da Zhou, so let's hold the wedding in Da Zhou and return to Simon after the New Year!"
"But there's no one guarding Simon's side. Is that okay?"
"Don't worry, I'll have Wu Lanzhi come over and guard Simon with your private soldiers, and then release the King Kong Golden Hair for her to use. If all else fails, we still have the Great Eagle, the White Horse, and the White Tiger. I've raised them for so long, it's time they were put to use!"
"According to the time calculation, Wu Lanzhi will be back soon. Will we still be able to make it in time?"
"Immediately send the eagle to pick up Wu Lanzhi. Have it go back as fast as possible. Once Wu Lanzhi arrives, explain everything clearly. Then we can ride fast horses back to Da Zhou. We should still be in time."
Bai Li had just arranged his itinerary when Nangong Min received a letter from Da Zhou.
"Oh, your elder brother actually proposed to Princess Zhou Yu quietly, and the emperor agreed!"
As soon as Nangong Min saw this, he couldn't help but happily share it with Bai Li.
"Where, where?"
"This, this,"
"Hey, not only my eldest brother, but my second brother is also going to marry Adana!"
"Aren't they in Simon? How did they propose marriage?"
"Are you stupid? If they don't come back, we can't propose marriage? Don't we still have my parents?"
"Oh, that's right. I'm not in the Great Zhou either, but I still proposed marriage to your family, didn't I?"
"Hurry and see if their wedding date is the same as ours."
"Yeah, it really is!"
"That would make my family lively, with all the weddings and new ones, wouldn't that keep my parents busy?"
Bai Li felt sorry for his parents and wished he could fly back to them immediately to lend a hand.
"My eldest and second brothers are also going back to get married. I have to quickly dispatch manpower to guard Qiangzhou and Chizhou."
"Of course, but we can't just focus on getting married and let others take advantage of us."
Great Zhou Kingdom.
After conquering the six kingdoms and celebrating throughout the country, the Baiwuhou Mansion was crowded with people, maids and servants came in and out, everyone in the mansion was busy as hell, and Li's life was like a spinning top every day.
"Dalang's mother, Dalang's betrothal gift has to be well thought out. His wife is a princess, so we can't be careless at all."
"Mother, I have prepared the best betrothal gifts for Dalang, but I am having trouble with Erlang's."
Li Mingyue has been very busy lately as her three children are getting married at once. However, her husband is not at home, so she cannot make decisions on many things and has to discuss them with her mother-in-law.
"You said Adana was a princess before, but now she's the daughter of a defeated nation, and her family doesn't have many relatives left. Should we follow Dalang's betrothal gifts, or..."
"Oh! They are all so troublesome. If we don't get married, they will be anxious. If we get married, three of them will come at once. Oh, it's really killing me!"
Li's face was covered with wrinkles that blossomed like a chrysanthemum when she smiled. She looked tired but also pleased with herself. How could she look like someone who was threatening someone's life?
She was both miserable and happy in it.
Li Mingyue glanced at her mother-in-law with amusement. She was asking her for advice and even showing off!
"Sister-in-law, why don't we ask the Queen for advice? Otherwise, if we do it well, we won't be able to be on equal footing with Princess Zhou Yu. If we don't do it well, Adana will be wronged and become alienated from us after entering the palace, which is not good either."
"Hey, your second sister-in-law's idea is good. The Queen is close to us anyway, so there's nothing strange about being with her."
The Queen had had dealings with General Bai's Mansion before, and later, in order to win over Bai Li, the Emperor allowed her to interact with the Bai family like a relative.
While the men of the Bai family were fighting on the front lines, she maintained good relations with the Bai family in the rear, maintaining close ties between the royal family and the soldiers.
Li Mingyue found the answer from the Queen, and then immersed herself in preparing for the weddings of her three children.
When Bai Li returned, he saw his mother with a tired face but shining eyes.
"Mom, grandma, I'm back!"
Bai Li threw away the reins and pounced on his grandmother like a young swallow entering the forest.
"Girl, you're back!"
Mrs. Li hugged her eldest granddaughter, her voice choked with sobs.
Li Mingyue wiped her tears aside and said, "This time I come back, I'm someone else's..."
"Mom~!"
Bai Li immediately came out of her grandmother's arms and hugged her mother.
"Mom, whether I get married or not, I will always be your little cotton-padded jacket. You can come home at any time, unless you don't want me to come back."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Women, once you get married, you have no control over your own affairs!"
"Her mother, it's such a happy occasion, why are you saying all this?
Besides, my Ali is different from other women. She can do whatever she wants. She is much better than us!"
Li's eyes were filled with relief. She knew that her eldest granddaughter had been different from others since she was a child. Look, now she owns her own country.
Let me ask you, from ancient times to the present, which woman can achieve such an achievement as hers?
"Where are my two brothers? Didn't they say they were back early?"
"They arrived home yesterday, and they have a lot to do. It will take them several days just to get their clothes tailored.
For the wedding of the three of you, all the tailors, embroiderers, craftsmen, and etiquette masters in the capital have been invited to our house!"
As they were talking, the doorman outside the door announced that Miss Hu wanted to see Bai Dalang.
"Hu Die? How dare she come?"
Bai Li sensed the annoyance in Li Mingyue's tone and asked curiously, "Which butterfly?"
"Your eldest brother was engaged, but he later exiled Hu Die for standing in the way and breaking off the engagement that day!"
Li Mingyue said unhappily.
Ever since the Bai family returned to the capital and was granted the title of Marquis of Wu, Hu Die has been showing her courtesy.
When he heard that Bai Dalang was proposing to the princess, he came and made a scene, but was sent away by Li Mingyue.
What else doesn’t Bai Li understand after hearing this?
"Why would we bother with such a sycophantic, contemptuous person? If she makes a scene again, call the police and have her thrown in jail!"
Bai Li thought about how she had blocked the engagement and humiliated her elder brother, and she hated her to death.
Not to mention that she had already broken off the engagement in public, even if she hadn't, she would not allow such a person to be her sister-in-law now.
Several people were talking indignantly, and when Bai Li was about to take action himself, Bai Dalang came back from the door.
"Grandma, mother, I've already sent her away. Besides, I bet she won't be able to stay in the capital anymore!"
The high-spirited young man has shed his youthfulness and recklessness, and has become more confident, calm and generous.
"Brother, how did you get rid of her and make her give up?"
Bai Li felt itchy in his heart like a cat scratching. It was a pity that he didn't see the bad girl being abused and slapped in the face.
"You're about to be a bride, why are you still so gossipy?
Just prepare to be your bride!"
"Mom, look, my brother is bullying me!"
"Oh my, who dares to bully the king of Simon? I'm just asking for trouble, right?"
"Bai Dalang! You dare to play tricks on me? I think you're itching for trouble!"
"Hey! Mom! Help me, grandma, help me!"
"Oh my, why do these two little ancestors start fighting as soon as they meet? You are getting married in a few days!"
Li chased after the two of them and shouted, but they had already run away fighting!
At the door, Bai Jilang also joined them, and the three siblings got into a mess.
Three days later, the entire capital was hung with red lanterns, and the streets were decorated with joy. From high-ranking officials to ordinary people, everyone's face was filled with happiness and expectation. The most powerful military general in the Great Zhou Kingdom, Bai Wuhoufu, had three happy events today. The emperor ordered the whole country to celebrate together.
A ten-mile-long red wedding dress, an eight-person sedan chair, and a hundred bearers carried the dowry out of the Bai Wuhou Mansion. Bai Li, the eldest daughter of the Bai Mansion, got married.
"Tsk tsk, this is almost as grand as when the Emperor married the Empress!"
"This is different. Marshal Bai is now the ruler of a country. It's unfair to her to have such a grand ceremony like this!"
"Hey, do you think it's her husband who is the emperor, or herself who is the empress?"
"What difference does this make? The kingdom was built by husband and wife."
"Indeed, it doesn't matter which one becomes the emperor. As long as they can fill the stomachs of the people and give them a few days of peace and stability, that's good enough."
On the street, in the crowd, Mu Shi had resentment and unwillingness in her eyes as she followed Bai Zongshen and left quietly in shame.
The Bai family has risen now, but they are still out of their reach.
Previously, they had gained some benefits with the help of the Bai family's power. When Li Mingyue found out, he immediately reported it to the court. The emperor immediately ordered that Bai Zongshen's family be demoted to pariahs, and his descendants for three generations were slaves and servants and were not allowed to enter officialdom.
Now, if they can't afford to offend, can they just hide away?
In the swaying sedan chair, Bai Li's mind was in turmoil, as if all this was a dream.
But this dream is so real.
“Nangong Min, are you Nangong Min’s previous life?”
The slender white fingers stroked the jade pendant on her chest, and the jade pendant seemed to respond to her and suddenly emitted a bright light.
"Ah, you really are his previous life!"
"So, am I Bai Li's previous life? What's the meaning of my coming here?"
"Let me guess. I came here to disrupt the witch doctor's plan to use biological weapons to achieve his own selfish desires. I put an end to the tragic situation of ancient zombies running rampant, and brought clarity and peace to this ancient land."
The jade pendant emitted another stronger and more intense white light, as if agreeing with her guess.
