Chapter 272 The King of Zhenbei Arrives
........
Half a month later.
Xizhou City, inside the palace.
Ning Quan's wedding is being prepared in full swing.
The wedding is scheduled for the 8th of next month, which is still twenty days away.
The reason for the delay for so long was, of course, to wait for the arrival of King Zhenbei.
Arriving earlier than the King of Zhenbei was Sikong Ruo's dowry team. This team was extremely large, with more than a hundred carriages and dozens of maids and servants.
Each carriage was hung with red silk, which looked quite spectacular and attracted everyone's attention.
"These carriages belong to the Zhenbei Palace, right?"
"Yes, the King of Zhenbei is indeed generous. He prepared so much dowry for his daughter."
"Tsk tsk, the daughter of the King of Zhenbei marrying His Highness is truly a match made in heaven!"
"Yes, I really envy her for having such a loving father."
A group of people gathered on both sides of the street, talking about the convoy.
At the gate of the palace.
Sikong Ruo was also very excited when he saw his mother's family convoy coming. After all, it was a matter of honor.
"Hehe, look how happy my sister is."
Li Wanyue covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
"Sister, you are making fun of me again."
"When my sister married my husband, her dowry was much larger than this!"
"Oh, you're teasing me!"
Li Wanyue pretended to be angry and reached out to pinch Sikong Ruo's waist.
"Oh, sister, spare me."
Sikong Ruo dodged quickly.
"It's a pity that my husband is not here, otherwise he would be very happy."
Li Wanyue said again.
"My husband didn't expect the convoy to come today, but he will be back in the evening anyway." Kim Hyo-joo said with a smile.
"Well, tonight, my younger sister will be able to see my second elder sister, and also see the eldest princess of our Ning family."
"Let me tell you, Xue'er is so beautiful, like a fairy."
Li Wanyue said with a smile.
"Yeah?"
Sikong Ruo asked expectantly.
"Isn't it? Xue'er's skin is like her mother's, as white as jade, and her eyes are big and black, just like gems. She is so cute."
Li Wanyue said.
After hearing this, Sikong Ruo felt envious and thought that it would be great if she could give birth to such a beautiful child in the future.
............
Time passes slowly.
In the evening, Ning Quan drove a three-wheeled motorcycle to borrow An Runa and her daughter from Loulan.
Of course An Ruuna had to participate in such a big event as a wedding, so Ning Quan specially brought her and her son over.
"My sister is here."
"Oh, my baby Xue'er, come and let your aunt hold you."
Seeing An Runa and her daughter, Li Wanyue greeted them with a smile, then quickly picked up Xueer.
"Hello, Auntie!"
Ning Xueer called sweetly.
"Oh, my dear daughter."
Li Wanyue kissed her affectionately.
“Oh, I forgot, I forgot.”
"Sister, let me introduce you. This is Sikong Ruo, the daughter of the King of Zhenbei, our bride. From now on, we are a family."
Li Wanyue then introduced her to An Runa.
"Sikong Ruo has met my sister."
Hearing this, Sikong Ruo quickly bowed to An Runa.
"You're welcome, sister."
Anjuna laughed quickly.
"Okay, it's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."
After Li Wanyue finished speaking, she carried Ning Xueer into the Ning Mansion.
As for Ning Quan, he naturally had nothing to do with the women chatting.
Shaking his head, Ning Quan turned and went to the front hall to discuss matters with Zhuge Liang and others.
.......
Half a month later.
Sikong Yan rushed to Xizhou.
Ning Quan hurried out of the city to welcome them upon hearing the news, and Sikong Ruo of course also came to greet them.
"Meet the King of Zhenbei."
Seeing Sikong Yan, Ning Quan said politely.
"Your Highness is very kind."
Sikong Yan said politely.
"Dad, you're finally here."
Sikong Ruo ran over and hugged Sikong Yan's arm.
"My dear child, Dad is rushing around for you!"
Sikong Yan glared at her in reproach and said.
"Hehe, that's because your daughter misses you."
Sikong Ruo stuck out his tongue playfully.
When Sikong Yan saw his daughter's adorable appearance, his heart softened.
"Okay, stop messing around and let's go into town."
"Please come, King Zhenbei."
Ning Quan made a gesture of invitation.
Sikong Yan nodded, and several people entered Xizhou City together.
When we arrived at the palace, it was bustling with joy and decorations everywhere.
Li Wanyue and others, including Zhuge Liang and other civil and military officials, were waiting at the door to greet them.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you!"
The group saluted in unison.
“Excuse me, excuse me.”
"This is Wanyue, right?"
Sikong Yan waved his hand, then looked at Li Wanyue with a smile.
"Wanyue has met the King of Zhenbei."
Li Wanyue bowed quickly.
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite. What kind of relationship do I have with your father? Why are you being so polite to me?"
Sikong Yan helped Li Wanyue up and said with a smile.
"How can I? The King of Zhenbei is my elder, I dare not be disrespectful!"
Li Wanyue smiled shyly.
"Hahaha, I don't deserve that."
Sikong Yan laughed heartily.
The group chatted and laughed as they entered the mansion, and took their seats in the main hall.
Ning Quan and Sikong Yan sat at the top, and Li Wanyue and others sat in order.
"The wedding is in five days?"
Sikong Yan asked.
"It's exactly five days later. Everything is ready now, and many guests have already arrived."
Ning Quan replied.
"Well, in that case, I'm relieved."
Sikong Yan nodded.
"Dad, you must stay a few more days this time."
Sikong Ruo looked at Sikong Yan.
"No, my father has to hurry back. It's good enough that I can come this time."
Sikong Yan shook his head and said.
"Dad, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
Sikong Ruo pouted.
"You don't understand. It's better for you not to know some things."
Sikong Yan shook his head and signaled Sikong Ru not to ask any more questions.
"Oh, okay."
Sikong Ruo could only sigh helplessly.
She knew her father's temper well. Once he made up his mind, no one could persuade him.
After everyone chatted for a while, Ning Quan invited Sikong Yan to join the table for dinner.
After eating and drinking, Sikong Yan and Ning Quan went to the study together, and Sikong Yan told Ning Quan that he had resigned from the emperor.
"My father-in-law has resigned from His Majesty?"
Ning Quan was stunned and then asked.
"Yes, but His Majesty forbade it, and only promised to discuss it later."
Sikong Yan smiled bitterly.
"Since His Majesty has said so, there should be no problem."
"Actually, this is a good thing for him. At least it can consolidate the prince's power."
Ning Quan said.
"Yeah, I think so too."
"So before I set off, I submitted another memorial, intending to resign from my post as Jiedushi of Fanyang."
Sikong Yan pondered.
"You're even going to resign as Jiedushi?"
"Exactly. His Majesty will probably be very angry about your marriage to Ruo'er. So it's better to do it decisively."
"Why? Do you still want me to stay on so I can help you in the future?"
"Impossible. I would never betray His Majesty, and I've told you this before."
Sikong Yan smiled.
