After the announcement of the marriage between the Li King Manor and Infinite Boundless Mountain, because the dignitaries of the various countries had already left, this marriage did not cause much of a stir. And as the main character of this marriage, probably only Mo Jingli was truly happy. Him choosing to hold this wedding in Glass City was more or less a show of force to the Prince Ding Mansion. But thinking that it was the Prince Ding Mansion that had rejected Infinite Boundless Mountain first, giving him this chance, this show of force could not help but become a little more awkward and boring. Along with this, his originally extremely respectful and careful attitude towards Infinite Boundless Mountain had also become seventy percent.
Compared to Dongfang You's resentment and rejection of marriage, Dongfang Hui's mood was similarly bad. Actually, after the Prince Ding Mansion had rejected her proposal and she had rejected Ren Qining, Infinite Boundless Mountain's only choice was Mo Jingli. But choosing Mo Jingli and marrying the descendant of Infinite Boundless Mountain was a world of difference from the current situation.
Originally, when Dongfang You had married into the Li King Manor, Infinite Boundless Mountain was naturally still high and mighty. But after this matter, when she married into the Da Chu State, the feeling among the officials was completely different. And Infinite Boundless Mountain could not even do anything to reject Dongfang You's marriage. While the matter between Mo Jingli and Dongfang You had not been made known to the entire world, those who should know were already aware of it. Faced with such a grievance, Infinite Boundless Mountain had no other choice but to swallow it.
These messy matters caused Dongfang Hui to be extremely vexed, and even the Prince Ding Mansion and the Xu family were angered to the point of hating them. Actually, after the Prince Ding Mansion had rejected Infinite Boundless Mountain, Infinite Boundless Mountain's situation had already been a little delicate. If they did not immediately stop caring about these matters and return to Infinite Boundless Mountain to hide from the world, they could only choose another person to assist them. But in this way, Infinite Boundless Mountain's reputation of being chosen by the heavens would be greatly damaged.
Originally, they had chosen the Prince Ding Mansion, but the Prince Ding Mansion ignored them, so they chose someone else. This meant that this so-called ruler of the world was not fixed at all. Since that's the case, with all the heroes vying for supremacy relying on their own abilities, why should your Infinite Boundless Mountain be the one chosen by the heavens?
It was also because of this that the news of Mo Jingli marrying Dongfang You did not cause too much of a stir. The power of Infinite Boundless Mountain naturally caused others to be envious, jealous, and hateful. However, with the addition of Infinite Boundless Mountain, many people could also clearly see the drawbacks. It was just that he couldn't let go of the reputation of being the chosen one. Since Infinite Boundless Mountain's so-called reputation was now mostly empty talk, a bunch of ignorant women no longer seemed so important.
While Mo Jingli and the Dongfang family were busy preparing for the wedding, the Prince Ding Mansion was not idle either. From Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li to the ordinary soldiers of the Mohist army, all of them were preparing for battle. The high-ranking generals of the Prince Ding Mansion were even more clear that this battle was a true battle to the death with the Northern Tribes army, to avenge the death of the previous Prince Ding Mo Xiuwen when the Mohist army was almost annihilated that year. Not a single soldier of the Northern Tribes army who had stepped into the pass would be able to return.
Inside the Nanzhao Post House.
Ye Li and Princess Anxi sat opposite each other, leisurely sipping tea. Princess Anxi's belly was already not small, and it was obvious that she was going to be a healthy and strong little prince or young master. Princess Anxi's usually bright and cheerful face now had a hint of gentleness and grace. No matter how powerful a woman was, as long as she was going to be a mother, she would always have some gentleness and love on her face.
"I've been busy these past few days, and now that I finally have some free time, I'm going on a long journey again. I actually can't entertain you properly. "Ye Li looked at Princess Anxi with an apologetic smile. As the queen of a kingdom, Princess Anxi naturally didn't have the same topics of conversation as the other women. However, Ye Li was also very busy these past few days, and she was somewhat lacking in hospitality.
Princess Anxi said with a smile, "You and I are both people with no choice, why are you apologizing? Are you also planning to go to war with Prince Ding this time? "Ye Li nodded and said," Of course. " Although she was worried about the two newborn children, Ye Li was even more worried about Mo Xiuyao, who was going to the battlefield. Last time, he almost lost control in West-Hill, and this time, he was going to face the Northern Tribes and Helian Zhen, who had almost massacred half of the northern Da Chu State, and who had a deep hatred for the Mohist army. How could Ye Li be at ease if she did not go with him? Speaking of which, she felt a little sorry for the three children, as Mo Xiaobao had been raised by the Xu family these past few years. Now, the two children were only two months old, and they were going to war again. The children had to be taken care of by First Aunt and Second Aunt.
"Speaking of which, back then, I also wanted to gallop onto the battlefield, but I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of me." Princess Anxi sighed with a smile. "Ding Wangfei can be said to be the first female general in the world."
Ye Li smiled helplessly and said, "What female general, when have I really led troops to war? I just followed along and watched. "
Princess Anxi smiled and said, "Yes, how could Prince Ding allow you to lead troops to break through the enemy lines? Wang Fei should have been the strategist who came up with all the strategies. Isn't there a saying in the Central Plains, 'Fierce generals are easy to find, but strategists are hard to find'? "
Ye Li was silent. Was there such a saying in the Central Plains?
After a moment of silence, Ye Li smiled and said, "Now that the Central Plains is in chaos, it is the Queen who is leisurely away from the world, making people envious."
Nanjiang was remote and had been a barren land since ancient times. While the past emperors of the Central Plains liked to fight, no matter who ruled, no one had truly conquered them. It was not that Nanzhao was very powerful. While Nanzhao's people were valiant, it was a small and barren country with not many soldiers. The past emperors attacked Nanzhao either because Nanzhao had violated the border, or because they wanted to expand their territory in times of peace, to add flowers to the brocade in the history books. No one would truly use all the power of the country to attack Nanzhao. Because even if they succeeded, they would gain more than they paid. Once war broke out, the heroes would not have the mind to care about Nanzhao. They would fight for the rich lands of the Central Plains, so who would have the time to care about a small country on the border?
"It seems that the Queen really does not have the mind to participate in this chaotic world?" Ye Li asked with a smile. Actually, she could understand Princess Anxi's thoughts. Although Princess Anxi had the talent to govern a country, she lacked the domineering and ambitious nature of a woman who desired to expand her territory and achieve great things. This was not a bad thing for the people of Nanzhao. While Nanzhao's army was strong, there were only a few hundred thousand people in the country. There were also many tribes that did not listen and did their own things. In this chaotic war that could break out at any moment, Nanzhao's participation would only be cannon fodder.
Princess Anxi shook her head and stroked her belly. She smiled and said, "I only hope that the people of Nanzhao can live and work in peace. My child will be born and grow up safely. In the future, when the throne is passed to him, his life will be complete."
Ye Li sighed softly and said, "Ordinary people only seek peace in their lives. If the Queen can protect the people under her rule, she will have done a great service. " Princess Anxi smiled and said, "Now that the Central Plains is in chaos, only the people under Prince Ding and the Queen can live in peace and do not have to worry about the suffering of war. It is no wonder that on our way up north, the people in many places remember Prince Ding and the Queen. "
