Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Clearly, she was repaying a favor to Li Lan.

Since things had come to this point, it wouldn't be good to say that the item was useless to him or to refuse it, so he accepted it and said, "Thank you."

"However, this dual cultivation method requires a woman with high martial arts skills and excellent physique to be your companion. Does Lord Li have a suitable candidate?"

Behind Zhao Tanyue, Xi Xia suddenly spoke up with a grin.

Li Lan laughed and said, "There's nowhere to find it."

Xi Xia said, "Ah, why don't you ask my master for help?"

A hint of annoyance flashed across Zhao Tanyue's usually cold and beautiful face as she glared at Xixia. Xixia, however, made a face and said, "Master, I meant that you have a wide circle of friends and could help Lord Li find a partner... Why are you blushing, Master?"

"I'll go ahead and scout ahead first."

Helpless, Zhao Tanyue turned and spurred her horse forward. Xi Xia and Yan Qiu hurriedly followed. Before leaving, Xi Xia said to Li Lan, "My master won't mind that you've been married before. Good luck, Lord Li!"

Li Lan stood there stunned, and couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Tanyue?

To be honest, the other party was a famous beauty in Kyoto, cold and aloof, no less than Lin Ruoxue, but Li Lan really had no such thoughts about her.

He wouldn't assume that Zhao Tanyue had any feelings for him based on Xi Xia's few words.

In his view, Zhao Tanyue was a woman who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment, and their cooperation was pleasant and respectful, nothing more.

Inside the float, Lin Ruobing kept an eye on Li Lan's direction, intentionally or unintentionally. As a martial artist, she was naturally sharp-witted, so even amidst the sounds of gongs and drums, she could still clearly hear the conversation between Xi Xia, Li Lan, and the others.

She couldn't help but puff out her cheeks, feeling inexplicably annoyed!

"No, what does his desire to find someone for dual cultivation have to do with me? Why am I bothered by it..."

Suddenly, she felt something was wrong; her face inexplicably flushed, her heart started pounding, and she quickly muttered to herself:

"Yes, he's so fickle! He just divorced my sister and he's already falling for someone else! It's all his fault!"

……

The carriage continued its journey, and by evening, it had finally arrived at Ning'an City. Guo Taiwei and other officials were already prepared to welcome them, and Li Yue, dressed in wedding attire, also arrived.

After picking up the bride, the motorcade merged into one and entered Ning'an City.

Upon entering the Annam Prince's Palace, Xi Xia and Yan Qiu glanced around and couldn't help but have slightly complicated expressions. This so-called "prince's palace" was far inferior to the palaces in the capital.

"The true aura of an emperor."

However, Zhao Tanyue offered a word of praise, because her gaze was not on the furnishings of the Prince's Mansion, but rather on the poor elders sitting at the banquet in the mansion, the porridge distribution points set up in the streets and alleys outside the mansion, and the refugees queuing up.

Compared to the capital city, where Prince Li Guan is holding his Dharma transmission ceremony today, this place is extremely shabby, but...

But she saw something different!

at the same time.

Among the visiting guests, an elderly man walked in. He was hunched over, and his clothes were covered in patches. As he approached the table, there was a complex look in his eyes.

But he quickly composed himself, slipped down, and sat down, remarking, "Li Lan truly deserves to be called a hero of our time..."

He murmured something, but only sighed, then his gaze quietly fell on the bride, Lin Ruobing.

……

"It's done!"

With a loud shout from the Master of Ceremonies, Lin Ruobing and Li Yue finally completed the formalities. From this day forward, she is the true Queen of Annam!

Although very few officials from the court attended, the event was still quite lively because many poor people were invited.

Over the years, the people have been exploited and oppressed by the court. When have they ever been treated as human beings? Now, the King of Annam has only been in Ning'an City for a few days. He first promulgated ten new policies, then distributed porridge and rice on his wedding day, and invited so many poor people to participate in the wedding. The people were all moved to tears and kept saying all kinds of blessings.

The banquet had begun, and everyone was toasting each other. Following Li Lan's instructions, Li Yue personally led Queen Lin Ruobing to the table to offer a toast before leaving to go to the bridal chamber.
