Chapter 454 Don't Be Scared
Li Mingzhu's brother was the one who reacted the fastest. He stood up and was about to kneel down to salute. His voice was trembling and his legs were shaking. "I greet the Queen Mother!"
“No need to kneel.”
Yingchun immediately stepped forward to stop the man, "The Queen Mother said that you don't have to kneel."
The other party was half squatting, not knowing whether to stand or sit down...
Yun Yang stretched out his big hand to pull him up, very helpless, "Brother, don't blame me, I didn't tell you because I was afraid of scaring you, but now my mother is here and the marriage is settled, it's not good to hide it from you. Don't worry, my mother is a very good person, she won't blame you for the little things. As for me... now that I'm hiding my identity, you don't have to treat me as a prince, I will be the same as before."
How could it still be the same as before!
These are the Queen Mother and the Prince!
One of the most honorable people in the entire Darong Kingdom!
No wonder Bai Wutong looked familiar to them. Isn’t this the same as the statue of deity that some people worship at home?
Although the previous epidemic had only spread in the capital, as Bai Wutong had been in power for many years, his reputation became increasingly prominent, and he had done many things that benefited the country and the people. Many families had already regarded Bai Wutong as a patron saint, and even here in the border areas, there were people who worshipped his portrait or statue!
They never dreamed that one day they would be able to see the person in the painting, and that would be enough, but they would actually become relatives!
This is not as simple as smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, it is simply a huge fire burning on the ancestral grave, and the fire is all over the sky!
Li Mingzhu, as the person involved, was speechless.
After she and Yunyang opened their hearts to each other, someone told her that Yunyang came from the capital and seemed to have an important identity.
But she only thought that her family was an official, a third or fourth rank official at most. If she made a bolder guess, she would say it was at most a first or second rank official. And he should not be a legitimate son, otherwise why would he marry a girl like her from a poor family?
She never imagined that Yunyang was actually a prince, a true royal relative!
Yun Yang coughed lightly, held her hand, and lowered his voice, "Are you angry? It's not that I'm hiding it on purpose, I just don't know how to start... If I tell you that I'm the fourth prince, will you still marry me?"
Of course not!
She knows herself!
How could she, an ordinary woman, marry a prince?
But now that the marriage has been announced, there is no way to take it back!
Bai Wutong smiled and picked up the teacup, moistening her throat. "You really don't have to be so reserved. I agree with their marriage. Besides, they will live in the borderland in the future, and I will not disturb them in the capital. Even if they return to the capital in the future, they can just take time out to visit me in the palace. They will live in their own palace on weekdays. I am not an evil mother-in-law, so you can rest assured. Moreover, I am not only the queen mother, but also a mother. I have only one request for Mingzhu, and that is to be good to Yunyang. I just want to see Yunyang happy."
"yes……"
At this time, the six people of the Li family finally came to their senses, but it was absolutely impossible for them to talk to Bai Wutong as they did before.
"Forget it. I have already issued the imperial decree. Their marriage can proceed as usual. Yunyang, you can see them off and comfort them. Don't scare them."
"Yes, mother."
…
The six returned to the Li family.
Sitting on the kang in my own home.
Only then did they finally come to their senses.
They even forgot what Yunyang said on the way back.
The eldest brother of the Li family turned around suddenly and looked at Li Mingzhu, "Sister, you are really the pearl of our family!"
The Li couple were the same, they were so excited that they wanted to hold their heads and cry.
"That's the Queen Mother and the Prince! We must have burned our ancestors' graves to have ended up like this!"
"By the way, Mingzhu, you have to be more polite to Yangzi in the future. You can't be like that before."
Li Mingzhu nodded, "But Yangzi said that she still hopes we can be like before. By the way, you must not tell anyone about what happened today!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Princess, I am here on the orders of the Queen Mother to present the betrothal gift. Since this matter cannot be made public, I will not make a big fuss about it."
“Hurry…come in!”
Boxes were carried in one by one.
Several people from the Li family hurriedly opened it.
When I saw the valuable items inside, my breathing almost stopped.
"Oh my goodness, is this a gift from the Emperor? This is too exquisite!"
Mother Li picked up a vase with a painting of hundreds of birds on it in bright colors. Even a family like her who didn't know the value of things could tell at a glance that it was a good thing!
Grandfather was so scared that his eyes almost popped out of his head. "Quick! Put it back quickly! Be careful, don't break it! Didn't you hear the Queen Mother say that everything should be normal in the future and nothing should be said? So don't take out these gifts. Wait until the day of the wedding, stuff them into the dowry, and then send them back. We are just ordinary people. We must not show off our wealth in this frontier. Even if we want to use them in the future, we have to go back to the capital with our son-in-law!"
Although they are poor, they are smart enough to know what it means to be innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. What if they are seen by someone with ulterior motives and come to rob them?
This is not the capital city, but the frontier where the people are tough and valiant!
In order to survive, many people even give up their lives!
As long as Yunyang cannot reveal his identity, they will have to hide and live their lives as before!
Everyone in the Li family knew what was going on and quickly put the things back.
"No matter what, we will all enjoy a good life in the future. Don't take these little things seriously and ruin our daughter's marriage."
"Yes, yes, yes." Li's mother nodded repeatedly, "As long as they are happy, but..."
She looked at her only son and said, "Now that your sister's marriage is so successful, our family doesn't have to worry about money anymore. You don't have to serve in the army anymore. Didn't the Queen Mother say that you can go to the capital with her and she can arrange a position for you?"
The eldest son of the Li family really did not want to join the army. He had no choice before, but now that his sister had married well, he could finally take a break.
He did not expect his sister to get him a high-ranking official. He knew his own capabilities. Even if he did become an official, he would not be able to do it well, and he might even bring trouble to his sister and brother-in-law. All he wanted was to find a good job so that he could support his family and his parents in the future.
"Mom, even if we have money now, we should not be extravagant."
"Don't worry, we have it in hand. Besides, if you really let me live like that, I won't be used to it!" After saying that, Mother Li hugged Li Mingzhu, tears welling up in her eyes. "I really gave birth to a good daughter. Even if we are not allowed to go to the capital, as long as your brother stops serving in the army and leaves a descendant for the family, we will be satisfied!"
