nyone else, yet she's so greedy. Watch out, or they'll slaughter you like a pig during the New Year!"Jia Yin grinned, a smile so wide that drool dripped down her chin, causing everyone else to burst i...Compared to the Li family, General Tang and the magistrate were naturally even more surprised.

There was a queen among the Eight-Nation envoys, which was already incredible enough, considering that women ruling thrones were incredibly rare.

To my surprise, not only has the Queen arrived, but she is also the granddaughter-in-law of the Li family, and she even has a child!

That is to say, who knows, maybe in twenty years, the king of Jinfenguo will be a descendant of the Li family, and Jinfenguo will become the Li family's territory!

They really held back with all their might, or else their chins would have hit the floor!

No wonder everyone says the Li family is lucky, their luck is simply out of this world.

However, General Tang felt a tinge of regret amidst his surprise.

Because the queen married Li Jiayi, the one he had his eyes on, his grandson-in-law took off!

But soon, the regret disappeared.

Li Jia'an was less smooth and shrewd than Li Jiaxi, but more steady and generous. With his thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was also more handsome by three points...

Although Aibei is the Queen, she is intelligent and has a deep affection for Jiaxi. Naturally, she would follow Jiaxi to live in Li's family for a while.

As for the other seven envoys, they were accommodated by the magistrate at the post station in Quanzhou.

Here in Quanzhou, there are often foreigners coming and going. The government's post houses are always safer than ordinary inns.

So, over the years, the inn has been built quite well. Now that it houses a hundred or so people, it's not shabby at all.

After a few pleasantries and with arrangements made, everyone dispersed.

Jia Yi and Liu Yang followed the envoy to the post house, while Li Laotai took Jia An onto a carriage, and Zhao Yu-ru then took Jia Xi and Ai Bei's mother and son onto the second one.

Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen, Huiniang and others were curious about how Jiaxi had married the queen, so they also gathered in the first carriage.

Jia'an just now because his brother was pinched on the ear, this moment of course can't cover for him, what if he takes the blame again, wouldn't his ear be unlucky again

So, he completely "sold out" his brother!

"Grandma, you wouldn't believe this. Xi Ge is just a lustful scoundrel who repays kindness with treachery!"

Unfortunately, just as he started to speak, his mother gave him a resounding whack on the head.

Tao Hongying glared, "Speak properly! How can you speak about your own brother like that!"

Jia An chuckled nervously and quickly corrected himself, "That... was a misstatement on my part. Xi Ge and Ai Be's sister are clearly meant to be! "

"At first, when we encountered a storm at sea, it was too strong for us to withstand. We could only tie ourselves to the mast."

"I was seasick and when I woke up, the big boat had run aground on the beach. The other two boats were nowhere to be seen. My brother and our master were both injured."

"Out of a hundred people on board, there were only over fifty left. It was truly tragic."

Just then, Eb's boat went out for a pleasure trip and bumped into ours. They were kind enough to help us. They found a doctor for us and had our ship repaired, sending us food and water as well.

Later, I took some porcelain into the city and exchanged it for coins. I rented a courtyard and moved in with everyone.

"Abby would often visit and take care of my brother. She came back and forth frequently, and eventually fell for him."

We didn't know her identity at first, until someone came to us with trouble, we realized that she was implicated because of Sister Abel.

Her father, the old king, was dying, and many powerful families wanted to marry her in order to control the country through her.

After some deliberation, we helped Aib eliminate half of the family's influence, thus solidifying our rule.

"Abbey was overjoyed. In front of the old king, she acted just like my brother's request for a marriage proposal, and my brother agreed."

“Since we were going to sea, I asked my master to officiate the wedding for my brother and Abby.

After we were married, our master passed away, and the old king fell seriously ill. Ai Bei's wife had to stay behind to take care of them and didn't leave with us.

"Until our recent return voyage, and seeing Aunt Abel again, she had become Queen and given birth to a nephew!"

"That's all there is to it, really simple."

Jia An shrugged and waved his hands, speaking nonchalantly as if it were just a matter of routine. But the danger and twists and turns hidden within, anyone could guess.

Tao Hongying couldn't bear to scold her son anymore. She held him in her arms, wanting to comfort him with a few tender words, but all she could muster was a single sentence.

"Go home, mother has made you something delicious! Order whatever you want!"

"That's great, Mother," Jia An was overjoyed and blurted out, "Mother, I want to eat braised pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, fried meatballs, and stir-fried pork with batter..."

This string of dishes are all meat, making everyone laugh again.

"Greedy little one!" Tao Hongying scolded, but still happily agreed, "Alright, I'll make sure you eat your fill."

They chatted and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at Li's courtyard in Quanzhou.

Because they were unaware of the existence of Abe's children, suddenly bringing people back like this was truly caught off guard.

Getting out of the carriage, Tao Hongying urged Zhao Yuru to go and keep company with her new daughter-in-law and grandson. Then she personally took people to tidy up a side courtyard.

Li Zhensheng had been doing business in Quanzhou for several years, accumulating a considerable fortune. His storeroom was well-stocked with everything he could possibly need.

Setting up the yard might sound troublesome, but it's really just about hanging bed curtains, adding some furniture and utensils, and laying out new bedding.

In less than half an hour, everything was almost ready.

At this time, the kitchen had also prepared the ingredients.

Tao Hongying went to the main hall and said something, then hurriedly went to stir-fry.

Jialing led his wife and children back to the courtyard. Zhao Yuru sent the maid Qiao'er to help Ai Bei because Ai Bei brought two female servants who were unfamiliar with everything.

Jiā'ān was also pulled by Māo gē'er to go wash up and change clothes.

Soon, the breakfast and lunch were served on the table, and everyone refreshed themselves and came over quickly.

Jia Xi wore a camel-colored satin robe, which made his figure even more upright.

Jīa'ān then was dressed in a long, azure robe that seemed to have been washed clean by the rain, with a jade belt cinched around his waist. He exuded an air of calmness and nobility.

Elder Li couldn't help but pull one grandson by the hand, nodding repeatedly.

"It's been worth the three years away from home. You've all done so well. Going out like this, I'm sure many people would envy our family."

“That's right, Mother. These two boys have been mischievous since they were young. They even tried to peek under the big goose's butt! They were so rambunctious, it was like they wanted to reach the sky! Who would have thought they would turn out so successful now!” Zhao Yuru also sighed with emotion, causing Jia Xi and He An to blush.

"Jia Xi protested, "Mother, those things happened years ago. Which young boy isn't mischievous Besides, I'm married now. You can talk about it if you want to. An Ge er hasn't married yet! Be careful that outsiders find out; no one will want to marry him!"

"Alright, that's enough talking for now." Zhao Yuru teased her son, "If you let it slip again, I'll put all the blame on you and take off your 'An Ge Er' hat."

At this time, Wenjuan accompanied Aibei and his mother.

Aibei had already changed into a new skirt and removed the veil.

She wore a light blue dress embroidered with jade orchids, styled her hair in a moon bun and pinned it with a jeweled butterfly hairpin inlaid with gemstones. On her wrists were a pair of jade bracelets.

She already had strong facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and red lips. This outfit only made her more beautiful.

Everyone was amazed and praised each other.

"The bride's family really suits the Tianwu outfit."

"Yeah, it's really beautiful."

Ai Bei didn't understand, but she guessed the people were praising her. She smiled and adjusted her hairpin, clearly very fond of the Tianwu jewelry.

Jia Xi wore a proud expression, lifting his chin slightly, which made everyone laugh even harder.

Wenwen also changed into a set of azure clothes, her hair was combed and tied with a matching square scarf. She looked like a little scholar, very cute.

Li Laotai was overjoyed, holding Wenwen in her arms and asking her questions.

Just as things were getting lively, a loud rumbling sound suddenly caught everyone's attention...he food store also gave out ten taels of silver as a bonus.As long as they work hard, stay loyal, and don't slack off, their future will definitely be bright!The three families were very happy and hur...
