When Old Madame Liu heard that her son was going to marry Chen Yan, she was so happy that she could not help but smile from ear to ear and promised to match her up. With her mother-in-law, she personally tried to persuade Chen Yan to marry into the Qin Family. Chen Yan naturally had no reason to refuse.

Such a thing was extremely rare in the Great Tang era.

A woman like Chen Yan, let alone a man, even a woman, liked her. It was said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were born enemies, but Chen Yan was undoubtedly the rare “perfect daughter-in-law” in this world. Although Old Madame Liu had the shortest contact with her, there was no doubt that she had fallen in love with her at the first possible moment.

In the old lady’s words, Chen Yan was already her biological daughter in her eyes, just like Shuang’er. For a woman like her, whoever marries her is a great blessing! She did not shy away from speaking in front of Snow Lotus and the others, because she knew that Chen Yan deserved such praise, and anyone who heard it would have to be convinced. Including Princess Gaoyang, who was born in the Imperial Armor, and Wu Meiniang, who was engaged to Qin Mubai first.

Invisibly, Chen Yan, who had yet to pass the door, was already the “head of the Qin Clan’s inner mansion”, and she had the intention of leading the crowd.

Marriage in the world is the matchmaker’s words. Chen Yan’s hometown was far south of the Yangtze River, and there were no direct relatives in her family. Her only foster father, the King of Jiangxia, Li Daozong, had also left for Liaodong, so the matriarch was worried. She kept comforting Chen Yan, saying that her etiquette was not good. Please forgive her.

Chen Yan smiled and said to the matriarch, “I don’t care about this.”

Old Madame Liu said seriously, “How can I not care?” In a woman’s entire life, what could be more important than marrying someone? Even though you and Sanlang have Little Lou’er, this wedding can’t be ambiguous at all! A good wife like you can’t be found even with a lantern. I have repeatedly warned Sanlang that he must make your wedding lively and dignified! … Yan’er, listen to this old man. In the future, I’ll leave everything to you to handle for Sanlang. “Although Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang are engaged to Sanlang, I think you are the only one who can really afford to be Sanlang’s good wife!”

Chen Yan smiled nonchalantly.

The meaning of Old Madame Liu’s words was that Chen Yan would be the “main wife” of Qin Mubai’s family in the future. Actually, there was already a “hidden rule” for this matter. It was to claim that Princess Gaoyang was the eldest, because after all, she was the first princess to get married. Including Qin Mubai, everyone respected Chen Yanli well.

Of course, Chen Yan would not argue and refute the old man’s ideas. She knew that Qin Mubai was no better than any other man in the world. He was a woman with a very good relationship, and he was also a bit playful, so there were many women around him. However, he had never treated any of the women beside him as playthings. He knew how to respect people and would never abandon them. This was a precious place for him. Although Qin Mubai was surrounded by many women, there was no difference in the number of wives and concubines in other large clans.

Therefore, there was no way to tell the so-called difference in status between a wife and a concubine.

The Qin Manor sent out a big invitation to inform all the prefectures and counties under the Lanzhou Governor’s Manor and the military manor. For a moment, Helong knew everything.

Qin Mubai returned from his triumphant expedition to the west and was about to get married again. This was a joyous occasion for both sides of Lanzhou. Therefore, the people of Lanzhou were celebrating with lanterns and colorful lights all over the city. The merchants and gentry were grateful to the Qin Clan father and son for the benefits they had obtained over the years. They had spontaneously gathered a huge sum of money to decorate the entire city. Even every tree in the city had colorful silk hanging on it, and the road was framed with lucky lights shining brightly. Every family was like a big festival, wearing new clothes and hanging colorful silk, gongs and drums were bustling with laughter.

Although Chen Yan did not like to show off, she was shocked and touched when she saw all of this in front of her eyes and did not say anything. Because he knew that Qin Mubai had never been a vulgar and frivolous person, it was unusual for him to do so many “mundane things”. The reason was simply to give her a grand wedding that she would never forget.

Chen Yan had never made any demands on Qin Mubai, much less asked him to deliberately do something for her or change anything.

But Qin Mubai said, ‘I’ve treated you badly for so many years.’ Therefore, from the wedding onwards, I will forgive you and use the rest of my life to compensate you!

For the first time, Chen Yan cried in front of Qin Mubai.

On the wedding day, Shuang’er dressed Chen Yan’s bride.

“Sister Yan … Oh, I have to call you sister-in-law, hehe!” Shuang’er combed Chen Yan’s hair and smiled, “You’re so beautiful! My brother is so lucky to marry you! He only learned it in his eighth life!”

Chen Yan smiled faintly and said, “I am no longer young. Compared to Mama Mei, Princess Gaoyang and the others, I am just a bad old woman. Where is she beautiful?”

“A kind and happy person is the most beautiful …” Shuang’er whispered, “Sister-in-law, to tell you the truth, you are not as young as Mama Mei and Gaoyang, but in our eyes, you are the most beautiful!” My brother also loves you the most! He once said to me, ‘For a woman like Chen Yan, her charm has little to do with her age. Her beauty comes from within, and she can withstand years of rivalry. The longer she stays together, the more intoxicating and fascinating she becomes.’ Hehe, aren’t these words very nasty? But when my brother said those words, he had never been sincere and emotionally moved. I have never heard of my brother describing a woman like this. I’ve never seen my brother so attached and deeply in love with anyone from the bottom of his heart! ”

Chen Yan looked at herself in the mirror. The woman in the mirror had a happy smile on her face that she had never seen before. She nodded lightly and said, “Shuang’er, you’re right. Happy women are the most beautiful … I never cared about my appearance, nor did I dress up deliberately. But today, I think I’m the prettiest and happiest woman in the world!”

The wedding was indeed unprecedented. Apart from the invited guests, the citizens of Lanzhou also spontaneously came to join in the fun, surrounding the Governor’s Mansion by three floors.

There was no need to say that the wedding was lively. In fact, most of the officials and generals were secretly thinking, Young Admiral Qin is really calm! Right now, rumors of him were circulating all over the world, and many troubles were lurking in the air. Not only was he not nervous at all, he even acted as if he had nothing to do with himself, and he even had the leisure to do joyous things!

Naturally, they didn’t know that Qin Mubai had experienced too much and watched too much of the so-called “world events”. So tired, tired, and tired. In his eyes, these were nothing more than passing clouds, and they were not as important as the friendship that he could grasp with his hand.

Just like what Master Qingshan had said back in the palace, Qin Mubai didn’t want to miss out on any precious feelings in this world when he thought of Yao’er in the Buddhist scripture story of Spider Grass and Rain Dew.

Don’t forget to cherish it when you have it, but only when you lose it will you know how piercing your heart is and regret it. In contrast, as long as Qin Mubai was able to exchange for a safe family, he would not hesitate to let Qin Mubai relinquish his military power and resign. This way, he would be able to relax.

Once he saw through the wealth and fame, all the disturbances in this world were related to the struggle for power and interests. And this kind of struggle was endless, never stopping! It is like an abyss, no matter how heroic you are, no matter how powerful you are, once you step in, you will forever sink into the mud and be unable to extricate yourself.

The result was either to suffer for the rest of his life; Either it was devoured mercilessly, and it would never be recovered. The former was like a hero, Li Shimin. He was destined to be a legacy of Qing Shi Liufang for eternity, but what could he do? Until the day he died, he would never be able to get rid of this endless torment, and no one could know the pain and helplessness in his heart. The latter, such as Garqinling, Li Chengqian, Hou Junji, can not be enumerated.

So–no matter the storm, I don’t move.

The Buddha said, “From the beginning, when one’s heart was born, they would have their own feelings, worries, and worries. If Ligan was brave enough to cultivate to the point where he couldn’t even think about it, then that would be his true appearance.” This was precisely the current Qin Mubai’s realm.

In the bridal chamber, Qin Mubai and Chen Yan toasted each other.

Chen Yan, who had always been plain-faced, had put on some light makeup today. Her pink cheeks and peach eyes were filled with Chun Wei, making her look charming and charming.

Even though he was happy, he was still a little tired after a long day of ruckus. The two drank two cups and sat quietly. They stared at each other, but they were speechless for a long time.

“Yan, do you still remember the first time we met?” Qin Mubai smiled.

“I remember. I almost killed you with my sword.” Chen Yan smiled.

“Time flies so quickly” Qin Mubai sighed softly. “At that time, I was still a young boy. I took everything for granted, but with a little bit of self-proclaimed intelligence, I acted recklessly. Over the years, I have experienced far more things than most people have experienced in their lives. So, I saw through many things and understood them. In this lifetime, nothing is brought to life without death. “Only when you live can you cherish the people around you!”

“Mubai, compared to back then, you really look like a different person.” Chen Yan smiled and said, “When I first met you, I thought you were just a frivolous and vulgar official junior, and I was very disgusted with you.” After getting along with you for a long time, I found out that not only are you smart and courageous, you also have a pure heart of a benevolent person. But what really moved me to you was in Xiangyang. I will never forget every moment we spent together in the small building outside Xiangyang City. It was the best time of my life! But even so, I never thought that we would be together forever. Because I thought that you and I are people from both worlds. It’s easy to get along with each other, and it’s even harder to talk about staying together forever. Even if we had Little Lou’er, I always thought so. But now, the truth is in front of me … Mubai, I want to say to you: Thank you! “You made me have no regrets in this life!”

Qin Mubai grinned and said, “I should be the one to say this. I think I’ll be glad to have you with me for the rest of my life!”

The two of them hugged each other tightly.

The red candle flickered, forming pairs of shadows.

After another three days, Qin Mubai still hadn’t left the house. The matter between the Governor’s Mansion and the army was also completely ignored.

This time, even Pang Fei couldn’t hold his breath and came to see Qin Mubai.

He asked, “Master, what should we do now? Everyone in the world is staring at Lanzhou, cursing that our Lanzhou is gathering military forces to plan a rebellion. In a few days, the army led by General Xue and General Yuwen will be back. How are we going to get there?”

“Three hundred thousand troops have returned from the Western Expedition. The people traveling ten thousand miles are exhausted. We need to rectify our troops and rest.” Qin Mubai said indifferently, “No matter what outsiders think, just let him go. It’s good that we don’t mess around ourselves.”

“That’s right,” Pang Fei said. “But what if … the Imperial Court really makes King Wei their reserve? Where are we going?”

The implication was, shouldn’t the Kansai army be moving at this time? Even if it was to exert some pressure on the Imperial Court, in short, King Wei could not be allowed to enter the Eastern Palace.

Qin Mubai frowned slightly, “Pang Fei, your mentality isn’t right!”

Pang Fei was so frightened that he flicked his fist and hurriedly said, “Master has misunderstood! How dare the students threaten the Imperial Court? Just … fight for it, can’t you?”

“I’m still saying that. If I don’t fight, then it’s a big fight.” Qin Mubai said calmly, “Right now, no matter what we do, it is inappropriate. Therefore, it is the best strategy for us to remain motionless.”

Pang Fei was unable to refute it, so he could only nod his head and say, “What if the Imperial Court decrees that Master and I return to the Imperial Court to overturn our orders?”

Qin Mu’s eyes lit up. “Then go!”

“What if it’s a Hongmen banquet?”

Qin Mubai smiled. “I’m not Pei Gong. My ambitions are not under the heavens. Why should I use the Hongmen banquet to entertain me? Wait! It won’t be long before there will be wind from the Imperial Court. Because I plan to write to the Imperial Court that Tibet’s Western Regions have been calmed down and there won’t be so many troops stationed in Kansai anymore. Therefore, I want to hand over my military power and resign and return to seclusion!”

Pang Fei was stunned and speechless.

Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Pang Fei, let me tell you the truth. Actually, I sent someone to spread the rumors about me.”

“Ah?!” Pang Fei was shocked.

“You didn’t hear wrongly. That’s it.” Qin Mubai said indifferently, “At that time, my thoughts were the same as yours. I also wanted to use my own strength to interfere with the Imperial Court, so as to protect King Wu and help him seize the throne.” But now … I think I was too naive. It turned out that no matter how great the meritorious heroes were, in the eyes of the Imperial Court, they were only ice-cold chess pieces. The people in the Imperial Court will not tell you anything about humanity. There was only interest in their eyes. But based on the rumors in the streets, they can treat me like a thief to guard against. It makes me cold, but it’s also a good thing. “Just such a small test allowed me to thoroughly recognize the ruthlessness and ruthlessness of politics.”

Pang Fei was speechless as he chewed on these two words.

Qin Mubai smiled, “King Wu is not dead, and King Wei will not become the Crown Prince.” But I, Qin Mubai, will no longer stay in the court to assist the new monarch in serving the Great Tang. Pang Fei, please convey these words to His Majesty the Emperor, and please rest assured that I, someone from the Qin Dynasty, have no ambitions and will not do anything to harm the Great Tang. Because … I belong to this era and love my country deeply! ”

Pang Fei’s entire body trembled as he stared at Qin Mubai in astonishment.

Qin Mubai smiled faintly and said, “Over the years, someone Qin has been loyal to the Great Tang and has never regretted it. However, this is all I can do for the Great Tang. Now, I have come and gone clearly. I am worthy of being ashamed of my heart, worthy of being ashamed of the Great Tang!”

Pang Fei’s expression had already become a little nervous, and his face was pale. He muttered, “Why did Master suddenly tell the students about this?”

Qin Mubai looked sideways at him and smiled without saying a word.

He stared at Pang Fei nervously and panicked.

“Housekeeper Lu was sent by you, right? And today, you deliberately used words to provoke me? … Actually, these probes are meaningless.” Qin Mubai smiled and said with ease, “Pang Fei, I already knew that you were the spy the Emperor planted beside me when you were transferred to Guanxi Army from Xiang Zhou. You were sent to monitor me.” But I never broke it. Because I know that you can’t help it, and loyalty to a king is the duty of a human subject. “Heaven and Earth Monarch’s personal master, you didn’t do anything wrong when you were in front of him.”

Pang Fei knelt down and sobbed, “Master, I’m not facing you!”

“Forget it. I don’t blame you.” Qin Mubai stood up and walked out. “I said that politics is always mean and heartless. I’m tired of it … Really!”
