Chapter 537: Sitting on Pins and Needles

After the wedding ceremony comes the bridal chamber.

Although the process is simple, it is generally step-by-step and there are no mistakes.

After paying homage to heaven and earth, the newlyweds were sent to Changming Palace. There was a brief silence in the main hall. Then, delicacies and royal meals were presented one after another like flowing water. The aroma of wine overflowed and the atmosphere was warm.

The handsome and smart palace servants served the distinguished guests with lowered eyebrows and eyes, not daring to show any slightness.

Lord Yan was sitting in the banquet, his calm expression a little nervous. Although one of the people attending today's wedding ceremony was his son, he did not feel proud of his status as an elder at all.

All these distinguished guests in the palace made him feel on pins and needles.

Strictly speaking, he has been the king of the Yan Kingdom for more than twenty years. He has the majesty of a person who has been in power all year round, his magnanimity is not lacking, and he is thoughtful enough when fighting with others.

But he knew in his heart that the reason why he had all the status and status he had today, and was able to live like a human being instead of being trampled and humiliated by others, was all because of his trip to Dongling.

After so many years, he has never forgotten the "unforgettable memory" that Xie Jin brought to him, so much so that when he saw him now, he felt a chill down his spine.

Everyone who has dealt with Lord Dongling Xie knows how terrifying this person is, ruthless and thoughtful, and often does not follow the rules.

As we all know, Mr. Xie and his wife were as obedient as cats in front of the regent. This shows that the regent is as terrifying as the ultimate king.

So sitting here, Wei Wushuang feels like a white rabbit sitting in a wolf's den - although the white rabbit is not young, the pressure that makes people feel that the blood is flowing backwards is always there.

He was always on tenterhooks, fearing that Xie Jin would turn his attention to him. He even thought over and over in his mind, how should he deal with it if Xie Jin wanted to talk to him?

However, his worries did not come true until the wedding ceremony was over and the banquet was held in the palace.

Wei Wushuang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

After the party was over, he waited until the guests were almost gone before he stood up.

Suddenly a hand patted his shoulder, and a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Is your king okay?"

Wei Wushuang's body suddenly stiffened.

Slowly turning his head, he met Xie Jin's beautiful peach blossom eyes. After so many years, the young man who was so handsome back then is now a calm and handsome uncle, but these eyes are still very impressive.

Wei Wushuang turned around and looked around. The guests dispersed when they should, and those who should chatted were doing so while walking. Very few people looked in their direction.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Xie Jin: "I..."

"Why are you so nervous?" Xie Jin seemed to notice his uneasiness and smiled casually, "I just wanted to say congratulations to you."

Congratulations to Yan Guo for marrying Xiqi, and congratulations to him for having a queen as his daughter-in-law.

Although Yan Kingdom will belong to Xiqi from now on, and Yan Kingdom's territory will be included in Xiqi's territory, there seems to be nothing to congratulate on the surface.

But I still want to say congratulations.

Wei Wushuang's voice was dry: "Thank you."

"Wei Wushuang?" Xuanyuan Yao came over and saw the person talking to Xie Jin. He smiled and said hello, "Is your mother okay?"

Wei Wushuang glanced at him and nodded: "Thank you for your concern, General. My mother is fine."

"Xie Jin, you can't scare people." Xuanyuan Yao reached out and patted Xie Jin's head, "Don't forget that Her Majesty the Queen and Wei Fucang are married. If you dare to bully my old father, be careful that Her Majesty the Queen loves her husband so much. , I want to settle accounts with you."

Xie Jin laughed: "Which of your eyes saw me bullying others?"

He just came over to say hello, and he was an old friend after all.

Besides, Wei Wu was always nervous, as if he had seen a man-eating tiger. He just wanted to say something to the other person calmly, in order to tell him that the Dongling people were not that scary.

From now on, we are all good friends who can be equals, so don't be so nervous.

"Northern Xinjiang is destroyed, the Duanmu royal family can no longer make trouble, Yanguo and Xiqi have become a family, and the situation in the world is developing for the better." Xie Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Wei Wushuang took a deep breath and nodded slowly: "Master Xie is right, it is indeed developing in a good direction."

"Would you like to go out for a drink?"

Wei Wushuang considered the meaning of his words. Is this negotiation or force?

If it was just for discussion and inquiry, he would not go. He wanted to stay as far away from Xie Jin as possible. After spending time with him for a long time, he was afraid that his life would be short.

But if the other party wanted him to go, he seemed to have no room to refuse.

"Forget it if you don't want to go." Xie Jin clicked his tongue, "It's as if I want to force you into prostitution."

Wei Wushuang's expression changed slightly.

He was almost forced into prostitution back then, right?

"Yao Yao, let's go have a drink." Xie Jin put his arm around Xuanyuan Yao's shoulders, turned around and walked out of the hall, "After all these years, Yao Yao is still what I like."

Xuanyuan Yao slapped his paws away: "It sounds like you really have read a lot of people."

Xie Jin smiled calmly and contentedly: "At any rate, I also dismissed three thousand concubines for Yaoyao back then. I dare not say that I have countless people, but..."

"Tonight's housework, do you think it's better to use gold or rattan?"

Xie Jin's voice stopped, and then he smiled slowly and said, "As long as Yaoyao can bear it, everything will be fine."

Xuanyuan Yao glared at him: "Then use both."

Xie Jin nodded with a smile: "Everyone listens to Yaoyao."
