The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

Having made up their minds, they both bowed to heaven and earth.

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

When Li Jize and Wang Yuanya knelt in front of Li Jin and Huang Suqiu, their mother was happy, but their father still had a cold face and turned a blind eye.

"Couple greetings!"

Once the last bow is completed, the ceremony is concluded.

But just as they were facing each other, about to bow, there was a commotion at the door...

Then, with the sound of "crackling, crackling" of iron sheets rubbing against each other, the second brother Li Jihuan came back wearing armor covered in blood.

When relatives and friends saw this, they all walked away and stood behind, whispering to each other.

"Who is this person? Why would he come to the wedding dressed like this? It's really unlucky."

"You don't know? Li Jihuan, the second son of the Li family, has just taken over from his silly elder brother as the Border General of the Beiliang Wolf Cavalry."

Li Jihuan appeared at Li Jize's wedding, murderous and covered in blood, while his mother Huang Suqiu was bewildered.

After a long time...

She stood up unhappily and scolded him, "Ji Huan, today is your eldest brother's big day, and you're covered in blood and armor? What do you mean?"

Li Jihuan ignored Huang Suqiu and knelt on one knee to salute Li Jin.

"I've met my father!"

Then, he turned to the crowd and saluted Chen Anran, who looked very happy. "Meet mother!"

It seemed as if he completely treated his biological mother Huang Suqiu as nothing!

In the feudal period, this was a very disrespectful behavior because his mother was a concubine and Huang Suqiu was a lady!

Strictly speaking, a concubine's daughter can call her legitimate mother "mother", while her biological mother can only be called "aunt"!

But now...

Not only did he appear at his eldest brother's wedding in armor and in a swaggering manner, he also openly ignored Huang Suqiu's majesty.

Huang Suqiu was so angry!

But her husband, Li Jin, didn't seem to react at all. Instead, he had a stern face during his eldest son's wedding. But when faced with his second son, born out of wedlock, he smiled and reached out his hand to help him up.

"It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back! Ji Huan, you must have suffered a lot guarding the border in Beiliang, right?"

"For the glory of the Li family! For Your Majesty, I will not suffer!"

Li Jihuan and Li Jin staged a scene of loving father and filial son.

But the friends and family at the scene looked at each other in confusion.

Did you mistakenly identify today's protagonist?

At the wedding scene, there was a newlywed couple waiting.

Huang Suqiu was dissatisfied and looked at Li Jin and shouted, "Brother Jin, this is against the rules, right? Today is Ji Ze's wedding, how can Ji Huan be like this?"

Before Li Jin could even speak, his concubine Chen Anran stepped forward and said sarcastically, "My Ji Huan guards the borders of Great Qi, and today he's been summoned back! He's dusty and bloodied, having just fought for Great Qi and for Your Majesty! A general who fights for his country marries a fool. I think everyone has their own opinion on what's more important, right?"

That's right to say...

Huang Suqiu could tolerate the first part, but she couldn’t tolerate the latter part where he said her son was a fool!

Huang Suqiu immediately scolded him, "You're talking about things as if my son has never done anything! You're talking about doing it for the Great Qi, for His Majesty, right? Ji Ze did even more! When he was doing it, your son didn't even know where he was."

This one sentence made Chen Anran feel deflated and he couldn't find any words to respond.

In a fit of anger, she brought up what had happened before.

"Humph! So what? It's Li Jize, not my Li Jihuan, who is considered unlucky by His Majesty and will bring disaster to the Great Qi!"

"you……"

Huang Suqiu was furious and was about to say something?

"enough!"

At the critical moment, the head of the family, Li Jin, directly scolded them, and Huang Suqiu and Chen Anran both selectively kept their mouths shut.

He said coldly, "Don't mention the past anymore!"

Obviously, Li Jize is a "monster". Your Majesty dreamed that he would rebel, and it is a taboo to subvert the Great Qi!

If it is revealed, not only will Li Jize be in trouble, but the Li family will also be implicated.

They should be thankful that the Empress is not pursuing the arranged marriage now, so why is she still bringing it up again and again?

After everything returned to normal, Li Jin took a deep breath and looked at his second son, Li Jihuan.

"You too, go take off your armor and change into something new! Have a couple more drinks with father later!"

The first half of the sentence seems to be blaming the youngest son, but the second half is actually about having a heart-to-heart talk with the youngest son.

Because now Li Jihuan has obtained the military power of the Beiliang Wolf Cavalry, which was an order issued by the empress herself.

This means that...

The younger son has replaced the older son, Li Jize, in the emperor's heart!

The future of the Li family depends entirely on Li Jihuan.

Is this also why?

The reason why Li Jihuan dared to be so presumptuous, ignoring his stepmother Huang Suqiu, and openly intimidating Li Jize and his son at the wedding.

Huang Suqiu was furious!

If her son was still the King of Qin, or the former General Tiance, how could this mother and son dare to do this?

She was very angry, but she could only suppress her anger!

Huang Suqiu doesn't want to think about anything now. She just wants to complete the wedding as soon as possible so that her son Li Jize can start a family and build a career as soon as possible.

As for Li Jize?

Does he care?

not give a damn about!

As for my second brother Li Jihuan, my stepmother Chen Anran, and my biological father Li Jin...

No! To be more precise, Li Jize has no feelings for the entire Li family.

Since they are so loyal to the empress, why are they having so much fun on this tattered "broken ship" of Da Qi?

Li Jize would not mind letting the Li family "perform their duties faithfully" and accompany the empress before completely sinking the broken ship.

"Matchmaker! What are you still standing there for?"

What was surprising was that at this time, the "fool" Li Jize directly called out to the matchmaker.

The matchmaker was stunned at first, but then she reacted and quickly shouted in front of everyone, "Husband and wife bow to each other!"

Wang Yuanya and Li Jize, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, performed the husband-and-wife ceremony to each other in front of everyone's astonishment.

The matchmaker shouted, "The ceremony is over! Send her to the bridal chamber!"

This wedding, full of twists and turns, was finally completed after many ups and downs.

……

In the bridal chamber...

The lights were bright, and relatives and friends outside were eating, drinking, chatting and laughing.

Inside the room, Wang Yuanya was feeling very uneasy. It was her first time being a bride and she had no experience!

I don’t know who made the rule, but the groom can eat and drink outside, but the bride can only wait in the bridal chamber.

I don’t know when the “fool” will come?

Wang Yuanya touched her rumbling belly and looked at the various fruits and vegetables on the table...

Well! I'm not really going to marry that idiot Li Jize, so what rules should I follow?

Eat whatever you want!

Thinking of this, Wang Yuanya didn't think any more about it. She lifted her veil, sat on the table, and started to show off with a peach in her hand.

She was eating happily when there was a creaking sound and the door opened!

The groom, Li Jize, just came back, and the two of them stared at each other.
