Fu Bai sat there, lifting his eyelids to look at the King of Li.
A slight upturn at the corners of his mouth gave him a half-smile.
The usually composed and unflappable King Li was now so nervous that his palms were sweating profusely.
"I...I..."
For the first time, he experienced what it felt like to be unable to defend himself.
Finally, his phoenix eyes darkened, and the tyrannical king took a few steps forward, then suddenly picked up Fu Bai and carried him horizontally.
Forget it, if I can't explain it clearly, I won't. It's better to just do it directly.
Fu Bai was caught off guard by the King of Li's reaction. He gripped the King's collar tightly and glared at him, asking, "What are you going to do?"
The tyrannical king, carrying the person, strode away, saying as he went, "We pay our respects to Heaven and Earth!"
After saying this, he walked out of the room and said in a certain direction, "Open the ancestral hall!"
No one responded, but Fu Bai keenly heard a slight sound as someone left.
He didn't struggle at all, obediently letting the King of Li hold him.
The mechanical fox in my mind's eye almost dropped to the ground.
748: (?Д?)ノ
748: This development is not what I expected!
[Fu Baibai, what's going on? Didn't the Prince Li not set foot in the backyard for over half a month? Why would he go to pay respects to Heaven and Earth with you?]
The nine-tailed fox in his mind's eye was happily chasing his own tail in circles. Hearing 748's question, he spoke in human language, still as confident as ever: "I'm just incredibly charming."
748: ...
The answer is not surprising at all.
The King of Li carried Fu Bai away. Nan Xing saw this and immediately chased after him on his chubby legs, wishing he could exchange himself for Fu Bai.
While chasing after him, he said, "Your Highness, I...I'm much fatter than my young master. I still have meat on me. If you want to eat me, then eat me!"
Upon hearing this, the King of Li paused in his tracks.
Looking down, he saw Fu Bai smiling as if he were watching a good show, and he couldn't help but smile as well, "Your servant is quite loyal."
Despite saying that, the King of Li did not stop walking, carrying Fu Bai forward.
One of the guards couldn't bear to watch any longer and appeared in front of Nanxing, stopping him.
The guard said with a look of utter disbelief, "The prince is taking the princess to the wedding ceremony, why are you getting involved?"
"Huh?" Nanxing looked stunned.
After a moment of realization, he understood what the guard had said and blankly repeated the guard's words, "The prince is taking the princess to the wedding ceremony?"
"Aren't you going to eat our princess?"
The guard touched his nose and said somewhat awkwardly, "You will definitely eat, but not in the way you're thinking of."
Having served the prince for so many years, this was the first time he had ever truly seen that kind of look in the prince's eyes—a look that seemed to want to "eat people."
Nanxing didn't understand the specific meaning behind the guard's words, but he could tell that the prince didn't really want to eat the young master, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Once she finally settled down, Nanxing felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and she collapsed to the ground with a "whoosh".

The ancestral hall of the Prince's Mansion was opened.
The King of Li carried Fu Bai inside.
The ancestral hall is very large, but there is only one memorial tablet on the huge altar.
The King of Li put down the wine cup and explained, "That is my mother."
Logically speaking, the mother of the Prince of Li should be a concubine of the late emperor, and her memorial tablet should be placed in the imperial mausoleum, not in the prince's residence.
748 proactively added background to the floating white area.
[The King's mother was originally a palace maid serving Consort Shu in the harem. The late emperor slept with her after getting drunk.]
[Unexpectedly, the palace maid became pregnant after just one time, and gave birth to a son.]
The late emperor was very pleased and bestowed upon her the title of Changzai.
But within the palace, no one hoped that she and her child could live safely and for long.
When Prince Li was eight years old, she was found to have poisoned the late Empress. The late Emperor then gave her a cup of poisoned wine. After her death, her body was wrapped in straw mats and thrown into a mass grave, forbidden from being buried in the imperial mausoleum.
After establishing his power and reign, the Prince Li secretly built a shrine within his residence and enshrined his mother's memorial tablet there.

The Prince of Li did not explain to Fu Bai why he had enshrined his mother's memorial tablet in the palace. He simply reached out and took Fu Bai's hand, looking down at Fu Bai with tenderness.
"Fu Bai, for certain reasons, I cannot give you a grand wedding right now, but I promise that I will make up for what you lack today in the future."
Finally, the tyrannical king solemnly added, "I will make it up to you many times over."
Fu Bai looked up and met the King of Li's phoenix eyes. He saw tenderness for him in the other's eyes. Besides that, there was also ambition hidden in the depths of his eyes.
“Alright,” Fu Bai nodded, grasped Li Wang’s hand in return, and smiled gently, “Then I will reluctantly forgive you.”
No sooner had the two finished speaking than Uncle Chen brought them their wedding attire.
After changing into their new clothes, Prince Li Jingxing and Fu Bai, witnessed by the palace steward, guards, and Fu Bai's servant, bowed to their parents and the heavens and earth, officially becoming husband and wife.
Uncle Chen watched from the side, his eyes welling up with tears.
Before he could even shed a tear, he heard soft sobbing beside him.
When Uncle Chen turned his head, he saw Nanxing, the servant boy beside Fu Bai.
Was he also moved to tears by the scene before him?
Just as Chen Bocai was thinking this, he heard Nanxing mutter softly, "Great, now the young master shouldn't be eaten by the prince."
Uncle Chen: ::::::

After the ceremony, they were escorted to the bridal chamber.
This time, the bridal chamber was not in the Jianjia Courtyard, but in the front courtyard of the Prince's mansion, in the Prince's own room.
The Prince's mansion looked desolate and cold, with hardly any living people in sight. However, the servants were incredibly fast. In the time it took for Fu Bai and the Prince to exchange vows, the Prince's room had already been transformed into a real bridal chamber.
The wedding candles were adorned with intertwined dragons and phoenixes, red silk ribbons hung high, and the lights inside the red lanterns flickered on and off.
Even the wedding quilt was sprinkled with longan, peanuts, and red dates, symbolizing the wish for an early birth of a son.
After drinking the nuptial wine, it got completely dark.
The King dismissed all his servants and personally removed the single garment that Fu Bai was wearing, the one he had wanted to take off the moment he saw it.
Fu Bai had never known what shyness was, but when he saw the crisscrossing wounds on the King of Li's body, he still felt sorry for him.
This is a strong and powerful body, a body weathered by time, and a body honed by battle. Every scar on it is proof of the heroic struggles of Li Jingxing, the King of Tyranny.
Fu Bai pushed the King of Li down onto the bed and leaned down to kiss every scar on the King of Li's body with almost reverence.
At first, the King of Li could calmly let Fu Bai do as he pleased, but later he could not bear it any longer, so he flipped Fu Bai over and pinned him down, kissing his crimson lips.
If the old house of the Tyrant King catches fire, it will be disastrous.
That night, the people in the room called for water five times, and the noise finally stopped when the sky began to lighten.
Nanxing sat outside, staring blankly at the slowly rising sun in the east.
So this is what the guard meant by "eating"?
That sounds intense; I wonder if the young master can handle it.
