Chapter 368 Haven’t we already entered the bridal chamber?
At this time, the palace was also shrouded in a joyous atmosphere.
A kind and amiable nanny was combing Princess Baili's hair very carefully.
"Comb your hair thoroughly and you will be rich and prosperous!"
"Comb your hair twice to keep it free from disease and worry!"
"Combing your hair three times brings you many children and a long life!"
"Comb it all the way to the end..."
……
When Bai Li heard the auspicious words the nanny said while combing her hair, tears sparkled in her eyes and dripped down in front of the dressing table.
Just then, Yingqi came over.
"Bai Li, why are you crying on such a happy day?"
Bai Li choked and said, "Brother, I don't want to marry Zhao Kun!"
Ying Qi said, "Bai Li, what nonsense are you talking about? Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. You are a girl, and you have already reached the age of marriage. How can you not get married?"
Bai Li cried and said, "It's not that I don't want to get married, I just don't want to marry Zhao Kun!"
Ying Qi advised, "Bai Li, Zhao Kun and you are a match made in heaven, a man of talent and beauty. He is a renowned genius throughout Zhao County. It wouldn't be a disgrace to you to marry him!"
Bai Li cried and said, "But he and I have no feelings for each other. If I marry him, I will never feel happy in this life!"
But Yingqi never thought about these things. Happiness or unhappiness is all empty talk.
Only the power in your hands is real.
"Bai Li, this kind of feelings can be cultivated. As the saying goes, love grows over time!"
"What's more, now that our father is gone, if your brother wants to inherit the throne, he will definitely need the support of the Zhao family."
"Only if our two families become friends will the Zhao family help me secure the throne."
"You are well aware of Ying Jie's evil ambitions. He has always coveted the throne. If he were to seize it, my brother and I would probably die without a burial place..."
After listening to Ying Qi's story, Bai Li's heart felt like it had fallen into an icy cave, and he fell into complete despair.
Her cherry-red lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something.
But in the end, he didn't say a word.
Just then, the sound of blowing and beating came from outside.
Someone else was shouting at the top of his lungs: "The auspicious time has arrived, the groom is here to pick up the bride!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Qi hurried forward again.
"Bai Li, Zhao Kun is here to pick up the bride. You should get on the bridal sedan. Otherwise, you might miss the auspicious time!"
Bai Li did not resist or refuse.
He just said "OK" like a walking corpse.
"Brother, please go out for a while. I need to change my clothes!"
Ying Qi nodded hurriedly, then got up and went out.
Bai Li put on her colorful wedding gown with the help of the nanny and maids.
Before leaving, she took advantage of the nanny's inattention and slipped a dagger into her sleeve.
When Zhao Kun saw Princess Baili, wearing a red veil and swaying gracefully with lotus steps, his eyes lit up.
"The auspicious time has arrived, lift the sedan!"
Bai Li, who was sitting in the sedan chair, suddenly seemed to realize something. She ignored the rules, lifted the curtain and looked outside.
There was a bustling crowd outside.
But the figure she wanted to see the most was not there.
Some people outside accidentally saw the beautiful face of Princess Baili and exclaimed that she was a beauty.
"Wow, this bride is so beautiful, she's like a fairy!"
"That's nonsense! This is the bride of our Zhao family's young master, and the most beautiful woman in Zhao County!"
……
A maid noticed the situation and came up to remind them.
"Princess, this is against the rules. The bride cannot look outside at will!"
Bai Li had no expression on his face and lowered the curtain of the sedan chair.
She was bored, so she pulled out the dagger from her sleeve and played with it in her palm.
Perhaps, this is her final destination!
Nothing is more cruel than fate!
Thinking of this, Bai Li couldn't help but raise a sad and bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.
……
At the same time, the wedding procession had to pass through an alley.
There are two figures standing here and looking.
"My husband, are you interested in this Princess Baili?"
"If you like her, we can just grab her and marry her. It's a convenient thing anyway!"
When Yu Rou saw Li Changsheng, there seemed to be deep affection in her eyes. She stared at the wedding procession as it went away, and her words sounded a bit sour and jealous.
Li Changsheng felt a little guilty and looked away.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Business is more important!"
Yu Rou curled her lips and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't like Princess Baili, why are you staring at her big red sedan chair?"
Li Changsheng was speechless for a while and simply ignored Yu Rou.
Seeing this, Yurou continued to talk to herself, "My husband, this big red sedan looks so festive and beautiful. In the future, I want to ride in this big red sedan to get married with you and enter the bridal chamber!"
Speaking of this, she imagined the harmonious and happy scene again.
Her jade-white cheeks were instantly covered with a blush of shyness.
At this moment, Li Changsheng suddenly replied as if he had a brain seizure.
"Haven't we already entered the bridal chamber?"
Hearing Li Changsheng's sudden words, Yu Rou couldn't help but recall the harmonious scene when they first entered the bridal chamber.
Her originally blushing cheeks became hot again.
"Oh, my husband, you are so bad, you only know how to bully others!"
Li Changsheng and Yu Rou danced briefly for a while before turning the topic back to business.
"Are all our people already in place?"
Yu Rou was also a sensible girl. When she saw Li Changsheng talking about serious matters, she put away her shy girlish attitude.
"Well, everything is in place!"
"Oh, my dear, I have a feeling that tonight might not be peaceful!"
Li Changsheng said, "That's nonsense. There are so many of us, and we all entered the city secretly. If we can still be peaceful, then there must be something fishy going on."
Yu Rou shook her head and said, "Husband, even without us, there would be no peace tonight!"
Li Changsheng's expression was slightly stunned.
"Yu Rou, are you saying that the two brothers, Ying Jie and Ying Qi, might cause trouble at this wedding, or even start a fratricide?"
Yu Rou nodded and said, "Well, I feel that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for both Ying Qi and Ying Jie!"
Li Changsheng thought about it carefully and felt that what Yu Rou said did make some sense.
Moreover, based on his understanding of Yingqi and Yingjie.
These two brothers are not easy to deal with.
As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
If the imperial army presses too hard, we will directly send troops to the border.
Perhaps the two brothers could work together to fight the enemy.
But if there were no external threats from the imperial court, they would all think "pacify the country before fighting the enemy abroad" and take the opportunity to deal with their brothers and clear up internal hidden dangers.
Thinking of this, Li Changsheng smiled indifferently.
"Then let them kill each other, and we'll reap the benefits!"
