Compared to last time, he looked much more haggard today, and he had a lot of stubble on his chin, which he had not taken care of. He smelled of alcohol when he came, so he must have drank too much.
Thinking of what happened last time, Lin Bao was still frightened. He picked up the dagger on the table vigilantly and frowned: "What are you doing here?"
- If he dared to do anything out of line, she would yell. Anyway, there were servants outside the door and maids in the yard. She didn't believe that so many people couldn't subdue him!
Meeting her eyes, Nan Jing smiled bitterly three times. His eyes were full of heartache. He looked at her and laughed at herself: "I came to see my sister who is about to get married. Is there anything wrong with her?"
—Inappropriate, absolutely inappropriate!
Lin Bao pursed her lips and was speechless when she looked into his eyes. She took a deep breath and said: "Second brother, let's go -"
—If you leave, never come back again, so as not to cause embarrassment to each other again.
After hearing this, Nan Jing held the table with one hand, took out some papers from his arms with the other hand, put it on the table, and said: "This is what I found out, you can read it if you want to, if you don't want to - burn it." Yes, just think of it as my dowry to you."
dowry
Lin Bao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Who would give some waste paper to a newlywed
And soon, she discovered that these were not waste papers at all. There were densely written words on them. It looked like they should be some kind of letters. She frowned, looked up and saw that he was about to leave, and said: "Second brother-"
He paused and did not turn his head.
Lin Bao clenched the paper in his hand and said, "I wish you happiness."
Hearing this, Nan Jing raised her lips and smiled coldly, then jumped out of the window.
Only he himself knows that he has missed out on the happiness of this life.
Seeing that he was gone, Lin Bao sat on the bed, looked at the two sleeping babies, and roughly read the contents on the paper.
After reading it, she realized why she fell into the water in the first place!
It turns out that the person who accompanied her into the palace was not Wen Su at all, but Nan Yixiu's adopted son Nan Sheng, who had been in love with Wen Su for several years.
Speaking of Nan Sheng, although he is not Nan Yixiu's biological flesh and blood like Nan Jing, he is still the young master of the Cangshan sect. It is a pity that Nan Yixiu has devoted himself to cultivating Nan Jing and has not paid much attention to him. Over the years, he has He always held a grudge.
And that wasn't the only thing that made him angry. Judging from the content on this paper, Nan Sheng had been attracted to Wen Su for a long time. Even though Wen Su was driven down the mountain six years ago, he had been paying attention to her secretly, but he didn't. What comes to mind is that Wen Su likes Nan Jing.
The time when Nan Sheng learned the news happened to be a few days before Lin Bao traveled back in time. At that time, Wen Su had a showdown with Nan Sheng. The depressed Nan Sheng was drinking in the tavern, but Wen Su went to find him. To Nanjing.
After learning that Nan Jing had a sweetheart, Wen Su spent a lot of money to find his sweetheart, Lin Wanyan. In a moment of anger, Wen Su tampered with the arch bridge on the lake, and Lin Wanyan happened to be walking on it. , happened to fall down.
Afterwards, she repaired the scene of the incident, but she didn't expect that Nan Jing would know that she went to see Lin Wanyan, and Nan Jing didn't say much to her and sent her directly back to Nandu and imprisoned her. In the dungeon.
Soon after, Nan Sheng sensed something was wrong and sneaked into the dungeon secretly. Wen Su, who was heartbroken, was also dying. When she was dying, she only hoped that Nan Sheng could help her get revenge, but the prerequisite was that Nan Jing was not allowed to be harmed. .
So, Nan Sheng pretended to be Wen Su and started to attack Lin Wanyan. At the same time, he also discovered that Lin Wanyan's biological mother had been with his adoptive father, Nan Yixiu. A coincidence made him become Su Yu's eyeliner.
Because Su Yu had secretly helped him countless times over the years, he could not refuse her request, so he had no choice but to come to Lin Wanyan and fake an accident to attack her.
However, after he came into contact with Lin Wanyan, he was still reluctant to make a move. Firstly, it was because of Su Yu, and secondly, her character was too loli. Due to the entanglement, he had to temporarily put down his hatred.
It wasn't until Yan Chuchu appeared that he reconsidered whether to join forces with her to deal with Lin Wanyan. However, just when he hesitated, Yan Chuchu's attack was too fast, and she had already taken action before he had time to react.
After struggling for a long time, Nan Sheng decided to let go of the resentment in his heart. Just at this time, news came from Nan Jing that he had found a way to bring Wen Su back to life, so he hurried back one night.
The last paragraph of the paper explained the details of Wen Su and Nan Sheng—the two of them were currently raising their children in a remote town and living an ordinary life.
As for Yan Chuchu...
Lin Bao pursed his lips and looked at the last sentence. It simply stated that there would be no further trouble, and there was nothing else.
If you think about it carefully, Yan Chuchu may have been dealt with by Nan Jing now.
Although it was Lian Che who caught her before, it didn't mean that he wouldn't hand it over to Nan Jing to handle. After all... After all, Yan Chuchu was also a member of the Cangshan Sect, so naturally he had to handle it.
After reading these contents, Lin Bao felt a cold sweat break out in her palms, but her heart felt extremely comfortable.
After breathing a little sigh of relief, she tore up the paper in her hand and threw it into the oil lamp bit by bit, burning away her grievances one by one.
*
One day later, Lian Guo held the grandest wedding ceremony and family recognition ceremony in history. The protagonists were of course the beloved Lian Che and the dignified daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace, Lin Bao, as well as two cute little amusements, Sheng Sheng and Yan. Son.
Lin Bao was pulled up by the nun sent by the palace almost in the middle of the night to freshen up and dress up. She was a little dissatisfied at first, but when she thought that this was her lifelong event, those dissatisfaction disappeared.
Shengsheng and Yan'er were also very busy at this time. After all, this was also the ceremony for them to recognize their ancestors. What if they were dressed inappropriately and lost face
As a result, the two little guys also became cautious.
By the time everything was ready, it was already three hours later.
At this time, it was dawn. Lin Bao was wearing an extremely luxurious Feng Luan wedding dress, an exquisite and gorgeous phoenix crown on his head, and a big red hijab gently covering his head. He held Sheng Sheng and Yan'er in orthodox Chinese clothes with both hands, and slowly He slowly stepped onto the large sedan chair carried by sixteen people, and headed towards the palace amidst the deafening sound of music and cannon fire.
Along the way, people from the capital were cheering, and many people followed the wedding sedan to the gate of the palace. After all, this was the first time that their emperor got married. Isn't it unreasonable that they, the common people, would not support it
Of course, they are not only cheering for this reason, but the most important point is that three days ago, Lian Che announced a three-year national tax reduction, and men who are the only sons in the family are not required to participate in the military draft!
This news is extremely encouraging to the people of the entire Lien Kingdom!
When they thought of Lian Che's new decree, their cheers became louder and louder.
Lian Che, who had been waiting at the entrance of the palace for a long time, smiled when he heard the news. This was of course what he had expected, even though he had released the news three days ago to explain to the outside world that Sheng Sheng and Yan'er were the two people he had met five years ago. He met Lin Bao's child by chance, but in order not to arouse doubts and to increase credibility, he came up with this method.
Anyway, now the treasury is abundant and the world is at peace. Speaking of these conditions can not only inspire people, but also strengthen the people's labor force without causing negative effects. For him, why not do it
Just as he was thinking about it, he just watched the wedding sedan carried by sixteen people slowly approaching towards him.
He put away his thoughts and looked at the wedding sedan with a bright smile. His gentle gaze passed through the curtain in front of the wedding sedan and looked directly at the mother and son sitting upright inside.
Although separated by the thick curtain, her delicate and small face still appeared in front of his eyes. He could almost guess her shy appearance in the sedan chair, as well as the nervous and excited appearance of the two little guys.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. The smile on his lips gradually spread to the tips of his eyebrows, making the little palace maid beside him feel elated.
As the music gradually approached, he suddenly came back to his senses. The big wedding sedan had stopped steadily in front of him. Xi Niang stepped forward to help her and the two babies up, stepped over the brazier, stepped over the saddle, and went through a series of cumbersome etiquette. , finally walked up to him.
Looking at her jade-like little hand, Lian Che stretched out his hand to hold it, looked at her through the red gauze, stepped forward and said, "You are so beautiful."
Hearing this, Lin Bao became even more shy, pursed his lips and smiled, nodded slightly, looked at their intertwined hands, raised his legs with him in tacit agreement, and walked forward.
The two little guys were also led by Xiniang and walked behind them.
On the high hall in front of the Yuanyang Palace, the Queen Mother looked at the two of them with a kind face. It had to be said that they finally met again after five years.
Come to think of it, her precious son must be extremely happy.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the master of ceremonies shout: "Bow down to heaven and earth—"
Lin Bao and Lian Che slowly turned around, faced the entrance of the palace, and bowed in a formal manner.
"Two bows to the high hall—"
After the sound fell, the two turned around again and bowed to the Queen Mother.
"Three obeisances to husband and wife—"
Lin Bao gasped slightly, turned around and bowed respectfully to Lian Che.
"It's done!"
The master of ceremonies shouted loudly, and all the guests clapped their hands and applauded.
Just when Lin Bao raised her head, a breeze blew by, blowing the tulle on her head, exposing a small part of her cheek. Lian Che curled his lips, took her hand, stood up straight and let Xi Niang hold her hand. The hand entered the inner sanctum.
Immediately, Lian Che sat down next to the Queen Mother again and winked at Eunuch An.
Seeing this, Eunuch An took out the imperial edict he had prepared long ago and recited it—
The content of the imperial edict was not much, and it only explained two things - one was to make Lin Bao the queen. This matter was decided as early as one month after Lin Bao's training, and everyone did not think it was inappropriate. The second thing was to make Lian Qisheng the crown prince of Lian Kingdom, and to make Lian Qiyan a princess, with the title of Wanyue.
The so-called canonization ceremony sounds simple, but in fact the details are very complicated. It took Lian Che two full hours to handle it. After all, the matter of recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan requires blood recognition first, then holding the canonization ceremony, and finally Just went to the royal ancestral hall.
Because Lin Bao also wanted to go to the ancestral hall with him the next day, Lian Che simply postponed the two little guys' going to the ancestral hall for a day, and simply went to the ancestral hall together the next day. Seeing that the two little guys were getting a little tired, Lian Che asked the maid Take it down.
While having a drink with the guests, Lian Che raised his eyes to look at the slightly drunk Xiahou Jinnian and whispered: "Have you found Ruyan?"
"Cousin Emperor, do you think I have found it? But even if I find it, she probably won't want to see me."
After saying that, he raised his hand and took another sip of wine. His eyes were full of sadness, and his whole person looked a little decadent.
Of course Lian Che knew the basis for what he said. After a moment of silence, he said: "Jinnian, actually... Ruyan's parents were not killed by your parents."
"Cousin Emperor, don't lie to me. Now that there are no witnesses or physical evidence, how can we start investigating?"
Xiahou Jinnian made it clear that he didn't believe it. Maybe he had drunk too much, and his tone became a little contemptuous.
His reaction was already within Lian Che's expectation. He pursed his lips and said, "Jin Nian, it's not that there are no witnesses or physical evidence. Ru Yan's wet nurse was not dead."
Suddenly, Xiahou Jinnian was stunned.
—If there is certification, wouldn’t it prove that what Lian Che just said is true
Joy surged into his heart, and he was about to ask again, but when he saw a few bold ministers coming over to toast him, he had no choice but to step aside.
Anyway, the days are long, and he believes that if Lian Che can find out, he can also find out. Even if he can't find out by himself, he can ask Lian Che for clarification. After all, he has to do everything himself before he can feel more at ease.
Lian Che stood up and returned the favor one by one with a glass of wine. After saying the polite words, he looked at Lin Wanchen and said, "Wanchen, when will the eldest brother grow up, it's time to get married? I'm thinking about it, Wang Shangshu's daughter is fine-"
After saying that, he smiled meaningfully, but in private he was secretly sizing up the little naughty boy standing next to him with a look of reluctance.
Looking at the young look, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old. Although he looks immature and is no bigger than Lin Wanchen's shoulders, his appearance is extremely evil. It is undeniable that this child is destined to be a disaster in the future!
It's just... why does he feel that Lin Wanchen and him are a little weird
Of course Lin Wanchen noticed his look, and it was hard to refute his tone. Although he was his brother-in-law now, he was also his immediate boss!
In order not to be forced to marry, Lin Wanchen coughed a few times, looked at Baililiuli next to him and pursed his lips, saying: "When it comes to marriage, Wanchen has his own opinions, so the emperor doesn't need to worry about this matter. , After all, Wan Chen still wants to marry the person of his choice."
Hearing this, Lian Che nodded slightly. Of course, he knew how difficult it was for a rich man like Lin Wanchen to marry a woman of his choice, but no matter how difficult it was, he could make it easy, as long as that guy Just be a woman!
After thinking about it, he turned his eyes to the unhappy little Saonian beside him and said, "This is -"
"The Baili family's Baili wandering."
Lin Wanchen said truthfully, in fact, even if he didn't tell him the identity of the wanderer, with Lian Che's ability, he could still find out. Rather than hiding it from Lian Che and making him angry, it would be better to do it himself. In his heart, Lian Che is God!
Lian Che was a little confused when he heard his answer. You must know that there are not many famous people with the surname Baili in Lian State, but he still has an impression of the name Baililiang.
- "Is this the young master of a noble sword-making family who has been wandering for hundreds of miles?"
Lin Wanchen nodded, glanced at Wanli who was feeling uncomfortable, and said calmly: "Since the death of the eldest boss, Baili was kicked out by his second uncle. Your Majesty, wouldn't you mind if Wanchen brought him to the wedding bar?"
The big boss is naturally Baililiang's father. As for Baililiang's mother, that woman died of heavy bleeding after giving birth to him.
Strictly speaking, Baili Liangliang can now be considered a homeless orphan.
Lian Che saw that their expressions were not very good, so he stopped mentioning it, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said, "Why would I mind? You two should have a good meal."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lin Wanchen breathed a sigh of relief, watched Lian Che leave, and then took Liuli to another table.
The people at this table were all bold and domineering military attachés, drinking wine happily. When they saw the two of them coming to join the table, they didn't say anything and continued to punch and drink.
The palace servant brought two new pairs of bowls and chopsticks. Lin Wanchen thoughtfully added some food to him, handed it to him, and said, "Put what you want to eat yourself. If you can't get it, let me know."
"Tell you why?"
Liuli asked while picking up his rice, his face already showing the previous impatience.
Lin Wanchen was slightly startled, "Of course I'll do it for you."
"I have my own hands!"
As he said this, Liuli rolled his eyes, stopped criticizing him, and started eating happily.
Seeing him like that, Lin Wanchen began to admire his adaptability. It was undeniable that since he met him at the door of the hotel a month ago and was kicked out for eating the Overlord meal, his world view has been refreshed again and again. .
After taking a sip of wine, he glanced sideways at him and said, "No drinking allowed."
"You drank it all!"
Liuli frowned and retorted, stubbornly holding the wine glass and refusing to put it down.
-Nima, he can drink it because he is twenty-five years old, and he is only seventeen, okay! But... At seventeen, it seems that he can drink.
Lin Wanchen was a little speechless, but looking at his stubborn little kid appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little funny, so he had to relent and said: "You can drink, but drink less."
"I know—" What a shame!
Of course he refused to read out the second half of the sentence. He happily held the wine glass and took a big sip, and then sprayed it out, which happened to hit Lin Wanchen.
—Peat, what kind of wine is this? It’s clearly just pepper water that has changed!
Seeing him like that, Lin Wanchen reluctantly took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Didn't you clamor for a drink? Why don't you drink now?"
“…”
You can be sure that this guy did it on purpose!
In order to prove that he could drink, Liang Li held the wine jar on the side and took a big sip.
After drinking, he didn't forget to burp, patted his chest and said: "I've finished drinking!"
“…”
Doesn't this guy know how strong his bottle of wine is? —If it were him, he would only get half of it, okay
Just as I was thinking about it, I just watched this guy start to feel faint. He supported the table with one hand and pointed at him with the other hand, "Lin, Lin Wanchen, why do you have so many noses?"
“…”
This guy is drunk, he must be drunk!
Lin Wanchen frowned, stretched out his hand to support him, glanced at the dishes on the table, sighed softly, and said, "Don't talk, I'll take you away."
"Oh—where are you taking me?"
Liuli leaned against Lin Wanchen and poked his cheek with one hand, looking hazy.
"Small courtyard!"
Lin Wanchen simply carried him on his back, asked the attendant to say hello and left.
—Hmph, little brat, let’s see how he deals with him tonight!
*
When Lian Che came back, Lin Bao was lying on the table eating the snacks on the table with relish.
Seeing her devouring food, Lian Che walked up to her smelling of alcohol and asked, "How hungry are you? You look like a little pig who hasn't eaten in the first three days."
"It's not you. If you keep not coming back, my butt will feel numb!"
Lin Bao still had the water chestnut cake wrapped in his mouth. When he saw him coming, he cried angrily and completely forgot that he was still eating.
Hearing this, Lian Che felt a little guilty. It was undeniable that he had indeed wasted a lot of time today. He had been drinking with others in the afternoon alone. If he hadn't been a good drinker, he would have been drunk into a puddle.
Maybe he was a little thirsty after drinking too much wine. Looking at her pink mouth, he couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva. He picked up the wedding scale on the side and lifted her red hijab, leaned over and clasped the back of her head. He kissed her gently and chewed the water chestnut cake in her mouth.
It wasn't until all the water chestnut cakes in her mouth were gone that Lin Bao came back to her senses. She covered her face and pretended to push him away, shouting: "Rogue!"
"Since you said so, then I, a rogue, should do what a rogue should do."
After saying that, he picked her up from the stool, kissed her lips like a princess, and walked towards the fiery red bed with his slender legs.
So, there was no peace in the inner hall all night long. As for the reason - well, you know.
*
When Lin Bao woke up the next day, it was already noon. She hurriedly supported her tired body and went to Cining Palace with Lian Che to pay her respects. Then she rushed to the royal ancestral hall with Lian Che and the two babies.
After completing a series of cumbersome etiquette, Lin Bao could finally go back to sleep peacefully, but later because Lian Che also shouted to sleep, she gloriously lost sleep and experienced the body-crushing duet again.
Don't ask why it's not a duet, because this guy's duet has already been played this morning!
Ahem, Lin Bao only wanted to say three words about Lian Mou's physical strength: "It's your sister's!"
As for the quality of Lian's seeds, Lin Bao only wanted to say two words: "Get out of here!"
The former is naturally easy to explain, but as for the latter...
Well, it's like this. One year later, Lin Bao gave birth to a little princess, named Lian Qiyuan; and three years later, she gave birth to a little prince, named Lian Qi'an.
Looking at his wife's resentful eyes, Lian Che asked, "Bao'er, why are you staring at me?"
Lin Bao turned her head and looked at the four babies who were having so much fun in the yard. She suddenly laughed, rested her head on Lian Che's shoulder, and murmured: "Che—"
"I promise, I'll be gentler tonight!"
“…”
Damn, what is this? The good atmosphere was ruined by him!
Lin Bao, whose head was covered with black lines, cleared his throat and continued: "Che, how about... let's have a few more?"
"Well - you have the final say." Anyway, he has unlimited seeds!
After the sound fell, a breeze blew. Lian Che held her hand and said with a smile: "Bao'er, I love you."
"I love you too."
After finishing speaking, she looked at the birds flying in the sky and accompanying them, her eyes full of gentleness.
- If you were the wind, I would be the sand, entangled | stretching to the end of the world.
Perhaps, this is the so-called happiness.
-*the end*-
