Chapter 1426: Mutual Complement
“You’re getting married?” Wei Nanfeng and Mo Lian both turned to look at the bewildered Baili Xi.
Baili Xi had yet to recover from his ecstatic joy of “receiving two level-13 mystic breakthrough pills” when he was plunged into the stupefaction of “getting married.”
How come he did not know when he was going to get married?
By now, the little stoic had pattered up to him and reached up to pat Baili Xi’s shoulder. “Xiao Mi is quite good. You’re an icicle face who doesn’t like talking, while Xiao Mi is chatty all day, so you won’t get depressed in the future. You two just so happen to complement each other. Treat her well.”
The three men present: …
“Pfft.” Wei Nanfeng let out an untimely laugh.
The little stoic promptly swept him a disdainful glance. “What do you, someone without a wife, know? Yet you still have the cheek to laugh at other people. Just stay a bachelor your whole life!”
Wei Nanfeng: …
“Hahahahaha!” Mo Lian really couldn’t hold it in and laughed out loud. He flashed up to her and took his wifey into his arms. “Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao, my Qiaoqiao.”
Wei Nanfeng couldn’t help but be exasperated. “Hey, brother, can you say something to your wife! How come she still doesn’t like me after so many years have pa.s.sed since then?”
Look, look, when it came to Baili Xi, she gave him two precious level-13 mystic breakthrough pills.
While for him, there was no harm without comparison, but once there was comparison, it could simply infuriate one to death.
Not only did he not get a mystic breakthrough pill, he even got dissed by the little stoic.
You think you’re all that just because you got married!
“Alright, you guys should rest early too. Tomorrow, I’ll have people take you around the city, while Grandmother will summon you the day after that.” After Crown Prince Mo finished saying this, he held his wifey’s hand and galloped away on his horse while carrying her.
Wei Nanfeng could not help but be jealous of the two who were glued together and deeply attached to each other. He mumbled, “If I had known, I would’ve also married a devoted wife early and then the stoic face wouldn’t be stabbing me in the heart today.”
Baili Xi put away the brocade pouch with the two level-13 mystic breakthrough pills and directly strode into the visitors quarters.
When Wei Nanfeng saw this, he couldn’t help but shout in a huff, “Hey, Baili Xi, you don’t know to console your brother?”
You really weren’t a considerate fellow!
One day later.
The queen dowager’s magnificent birthday feast commenced inside the Longevity Palace’s Brocade Garden.
Court officials third-rank and above had long arrived in the main hall of the Longevity Palace’s Brocade Garden with their dressed-up family members.
The manager eunuch was announcing, “His Third Highness of Northern Wei congratulates the queen dowager on her major birthday and presents a pair of bright pearls from the Hope Sea, a measure of white jade pearls…”
“His Second Highness of Southern Baili congratulates and sincerely wishes the queen dowager a long life.”
One group of foreign guests after another walked into the main hall with smiling and rosy faces.
The queen dowager was sitting in the main seat at the top of the steps. She was dressed in crimson and smiled at the people who had come from all over to congratulate her.
Nanny Gu was standing next to the queen dowager, and she would occasionally bend her waist to explain to the queen dowager from which country the guest standing in the main hall at that moment hailed from.
As today was the joyous occasion of her 70th birthday, the queen dowager was in great spirits as she looked at the generations of offspring filling the house, unable to restrain her smile.
“The young chief of the Akedo Tribe wishes the queen dowager a happy birthday and presents…”
“The young princess of the Alava Tribe congratulates the queen dowager on her birthday and presents…”
The guests’ gift lists were announced in succession, one after another!
Everyone gazed upon this prosperous scene with smiling faces.
Meanwhile, Qiao Mu was sitting next to the crown prince indifferently, but she raised her eyes when she heard the eunuch announce the Alava Tribe’s name.
