Today is a happy day for King Chen. He cannot let Li Xiaoji mess up the situation and miss the important event of his bridal chamber. Therefore, these people are ready to fight with Li Xiaoji.

"That's okay!" Seeing these people's attitude of looking forward to death, Li Xiaoji smiled and nodded happily.

The orderer lined up the good wine he brought, stepped on the stool with one foot, and stepped on the ground with the other. He picked up a jar of wine with both hands and drank it. His movements were rough, but there was a hint of grandeur.

It is normal for young men who are proud and wanton to not be easily convinced. And facing the idiot prince, these young men will only be even more unconvinced and have to win against him life or death.

After a jar of wine was consumed, the dissatisfaction gradually turned into helpless conviction. Is Li Xiaoji's belly a hole in the sky?

In response to this, Li Xiaoji just smiled brightly, looked around, and was ready to give up. Unexpectedly, these people did not follow martial ethics, and one batch came after another, so the drinking fight could only continue.

Young people fight over wine, and those who come over drink tea.

Looking at these high-spirited, arrogant and fearless young men, the emperor and the British princes showed a trace of nostalgia in their eyes. They used to be so unrestrained.

Inexplicably, the emperor hoped that Liu Ziyu and others could make Li Xiaoji drunk in order to avenge himself for being drunk by the British father until he slipped and fell into the gutter.

Cang Jin and others had the same idea. Well, just because they couldn't do it to the British Duke didn't mean that their sons and grandsons couldn't do it either.

The British Duke calmly stroked his beard, confident that after his teachings, Li Xiaoji would definitely be able to defeat the descendants of these defeated generals with his good drinking ability.

Then, everyone seemed to have seen the scene of a group of people being assaulted by a British businessman in the past. Li Xiaoji refused to refuse anyone who came, and did everything he could to everyone.

Soon, all of Liu Ziyu's friends got down on the ground, even if they were still a little conscious, they didn't dare to come again. Li Xiaoji was simply not human.

Finally, Li Xiaoji faced the dumbfounded Liu Ziyu, chuckled, and ordered others to serve the wine. When some people tried to show off, he advised, "Do what you can, and don't take your life for granted."

Listen, these people don't dare to show off. After all, only you know best what stage your body has reached. There is no need to waste your lifespan just for the so-called desire to win or lose.

When his subordinates arranged the wine in order, Li Xiaoji was drunk, her eyes were slightly moist, the tail of her eyes were red, her face was pink, and she looked like a freshly formed peach, which was particularly attractive.

The candle flames swayed, and the strong aroma of alcohol spread, making Li Xiaoji feel a little hazy, and the people present could not help but gradually stared at him.

Mrs. Huang covered her mouth and screamed in her heart. Her daughter was not obsessed with such a good-looking young man. If it were her, I'm afraid...

A pair of hands stood in front of Mr. Huang. Without even thinking about it, he knew it was Cang Jin, the jealous guy. Ms. Huang could only sigh with regret, grabbed her husband's hand and whispered: "Jinlang, you are the most beautiful!"

Cang Jin instantly smiled. Who wasn't a handsome man when he was seventeen or eighteen? Li Xiaoji was just a little bit prettier than he was when he was young.

At the same moment, the emperor also put out his hand in front of the queen. In front of the children of civil servants, military officers and generals, the emperor wanted to be careful not to lose the dignity of the mother of a country.

The emperor would never admit that he was jealous, and asked the queen to shake her head helplessly and silently look away.

Liu Ziyu, who was standing in front of Li Xiaoji, was completely stunned. Damn it, why did this bastard have such a face? Who could really hate such a face to the end?

According to the rules of the Kingdom of Zhang, Cang Yuexue, who came out when the time came to kneel down with Liu Ziyu to thank the Emperor and the Empress for their grace, and toasted tea in front of all the guests, looked at the slightly tipsy Li Xiaoji, and her heart beat faster unconsciously.

"No, no, I'm already married, I can't be swayed by beauty anymore, never!"

Maybe he felt hot, but maybe he didn't care about everyone's reaction. The wine soaked his clothes, which made Li Xiaoji very uncomfortable, so he pulled them away and said proudly: "Your Highness, King Chen, please come!"

Little did he know that the moment the collar was pulled apart, everyone present took a breath, covered their noses, or got under the table. Only the prince looked at it with bright eyes. The beautiful scenery was in front of him, so why not enjoy it?

The veins on the crown prince's forehead twitched rapidly. Due to her image and identity, she could only pull the prince's sleeve to remind him not to lose his composure.

The British Duke looked at everyone's performance, snorted coldly, strode forward, took off his cloak and wrapped Li Xiaoji in an airtight manner, dragging his son out without any explanation.

Looking at the British Duke's posture, those who didn't know thought he had a daughter and had to be on guard against hungry wolves at all times.

As soon as Li Xiaoji left, everyone regained their composure, silently recited a few Buddhist scriptures to calm their minds, and then continued to drink and have fun, celebrating the return of His Highness the beauty in his arms.

Liu Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, but unconsciously thought of Li Xiaoji's smile.

The same goes for Cang Yuexue. Perhaps she chose Liu Ziyu because she didn't have to compare her beauty with him. If she really chose Li Xiaoji, she would not only have to accept the fate of being crushed by her appearance all the time, but also endure the push and pull of everyone.

Thinking about such a day is suffocating, let alone trying it yourself?

But why does her heart feel empty at this moment, as if she has made the wrong choice? Is she still not determined enough?

No matter what their thoughts and ideas are, during the wedding night, after the couple realizes the mystery of becoming one, they have no time to care about anything else.

Tonight, the night is dark, the breeze is blowing, the branches and leaves in the courtyard are swaying, and the moonlight is full of shadows. It is dreamy and beautiful. A pair of lovers are united in body and mind. You are in me and I am in you, and they will live forever in the river of love.

When they woke up, the couple looked at each other's faces and felt a little embarrassed. Cang Yuexue rolled herself into the quilt and did not dare to come out.

Liu Ziyu smiled stupidly, thinking that he would enter the palace later to express his gratitude and bow properly to the prince's brother, thanking him for the secret book.

After tidying up, the young couple was preparing to enter the palace when they received news that the British Duke had asked for the emperor's favor early in the morning and was taking Li Xiaoji to Northern Xinjiang with him, planning to live there for a while.

If nothing unexpected happens, Li Xiaoji will stay in Northern Xinjiang. When he returns to Beijing to report on his duties, the British prince will just come back.

Hearing this, Liu Ziyu and Cang Yuexue were relieved at first, but they couldn't help but regret that they would never have a chance to see such beautiful faces again in the future.

After sighing, the couple looked at each other and looked away guiltily. This was the first day of marriage, what were they thinking?

Logically speaking, when military generals are stationed outside, their families and relatives must stay in the capital, acting as hostages in disguise, to reassure the emperor and contain the military generals.

Not to mention that this generation of British Duke Li Xu fought his way back from Northern Xinjiang with one sword and one shot. Not only did he inherit the title perfectly, he also became the backbone of Northern Xinjiang and a general that everyone respected.

As far as Northern Xinjiang is concerned, they don't care whether they are the Duke of the country or not. In their eyes, Li Xu is just the general of Northern Xinjiang and the god in the hearts of thousands of soldiers.

In the early years, when the emperor first ascended the throne, his status was unstable. Even if he wanted to treat Li Xu favorably, he had to consider the feelings of other generals. After all, everyone kept "hostages" in the capital, but Li Xu was special, which might make people dissatisfied.

Forcibly granting favor is not good for the emperor's rule or Li Xu's future. Therefore, Li Xu is willing to cooperate with the emperor and reluctantly leaves his wife and young son in the capital while he stays in northern Xinjiang.

Use actions to silence those who intend to question the injustice of the Holy One and sow discord between monarch and ministers.
