How could I leave you out of the bridal chamber?

How is this leaving someone out?

This is leaving out the heartbeat, isn't it?

When Li Caimei heard these words, her heart skipped a beat. She instinctively moved back and was surprised to find that the doors and windows of the house were closed.

The bad guy had planned all the bad things from the moment he entered the room.

There seemed to be no way to retreat.

She quickly came up with a plan to take control of the situation.

She took a step forward and leaned into Ying Wuji's arms, smiling with a charming face, "Why is someone in such a hurry? Let me check..."

But when she checked, she found that Ying Wuji was even more eager than she had imagined.

Not to mention his physique that made people blush and heart race, just his vigorous energy was enough to make people feel excited.

Her face turned red and she instinctively took several steps back.

"Xiao Pacai..."

Ying Wuji couldn't help but smile. At first, he thought he would be in control of his happiness when he saw her like an old maid.

But unexpectedly, it only lasted for a second.

He leaned closer, held Li Caimei's hand, and asked softly, "On the day of the wedding, when I took Zhao Ning away in front of you, how did you feel?"

Li Caimei turned away: "If you took him away, then you took him away! How could I feel anything? With my identity, being allowed to see you is already a great fortune. Can I expect to worship the heavens and the earth with someone other than the Crown Prince?"

Ying Wuji sensed her grievances and gently held her shoulders, smiling and asking, "Do you want to worship the heavens and the earth with me?"

"What do you think?"

Li Caimei stared at his eyes without any evasion, not hiding her grievances and bitterness in her eyes.

She rarely exposed her own needs.

But in front of Ying Wuji, she didn't want to hide at all.

Because even if he just comforted her with a gentle voice, it would bring her a different sense of security.

When a person is used to helplessness, their demands become so humble.

Ying Wuji held her slightly cool cheek and said, "Then let's worship!"

"How do we worship?"

"Let's go! Follow me into the bridal chamber!"

"..."

Li Caimei was a little disappointed. She didn't expect him to just want to do something between a man and a woman.

But she still didn't refuse, she just turned her back to him when lying on the bed.

She didn't know if her current emotions could be called disappointment.

She only knew that if Ying Wuji tried to do something to her forcefully, she would definitely feel sad for a while.

But she didn't expect that Ying Wuji would just quietly hug her from behind.

Apart from the sense of security brought by his gentle chest, she didn't notice anything unusual.

She couldn't help but turn around and look at Ying Wuji in surprise, "What are you doing..."

"Sleep! Everything is in the dream!"

"..."

Li Caimei's first reaction was that he was teasing her.

But after thinking about it carefully, this rascal had never disappointed her.

Could it be that he had mastered the ability to control dreams?

She couldn't be sure. The spell of dream control was not extremely rare in this world, but it relied heavily on luck and talent. It was often self-realized by chance, and few people could practice it on their own.

Moreover, dream control was easy to cause mental damage and required extremely high mental control from the dream controller, so few people could successfully practice it.

...

But Ying Wuji... clearly didn't seem like someone who would harm her.

After a brief hesitation, she firmly closed her eyes and soon felt a dizzying sensation.

When she opened her eyes again.

She was already wearing a red dress.

The clear bronze mirror.

The flickering red candles.

The servants in the mansion were busy, and her sister was smiling as she helped her with her makeup.

"Caimei, what are you daydreaming about?"

Li Caitan urged anxiously, "Hurry up and look in the mirror. Sister will help you put on the phoenix crown. The groom will come to pick you up soon!"

Li Caimei: "..."

She hurriedly turned her head to look, but found that every detail in this room was vivid.

Even her sister looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, just as she remembered.

This...

She suppressed her excitement and sat back in front of the mirror. When the bride's makeup was ready and there was a noisy sound outside the door.

Turning her head, she saw a handsome rascal smiling and approaching.

Every part of the wedding that followed perfectly matched her imagination.

Even the smiles of the guests couldn't find any flaws.

Entering the bridal sedan.

Stepping over the fire basin.

Worshipping the heavens and the earth.

Entering the bridal chamber.

When Ying Wuji lifted her veil, she couldn't help but rub her sore eyes. "You prepared such a realistic dream with such profound dream control. Don't you think it's a waste?"

Ying Wuji leaned forward slightly, "Whether it's a waste or not is not the standard. The key is... do you like it?"

"I like it!"

Li Caimei pursed her lips, "But I want to wake up!"

Ying Wuji was somewhat stunned, "Why?"

"Never mind why! I want to wake up!"

"Alright!"

Seeing that she wasn't joking, Ying Wuji waved his hand and ended the dream.

In a moment.

The two of them opened their eyes slowly while embracing each other.

Li Caimei reached out and gently stroked his slightly wrinkled brow due to fatigue, feeling a bit distressed, "After all, it was just a dream. There was no need to make it so real. Look how tired you are!"

Ying Wuji couldn't help but grin, "Fine! I wasted this dream!"

"No, it's not!"

Li Caimei pressed her face against his chest, "It wasn't a waste. I really liked it. But we're already in the bridal chamber, why do we still have to be in a dream?"

Ying Wuji: "!!!"

Feeling his increasingly hot breath.Li Caimei's face started to blush, and she collapsed weakly on his chest. Then she suddenly changed her mind and said, "How about waiting for you to come back?"

Ying Wuji choked for a moment and asked, "Are you changing your mind again?"

"No, I'm not changing my mind!"

Li Caimei sat up and looked into his eyes, sighing softly, "These days have been too dangerous. I don't want our child to be born and be bullied, especially by Zhao Ning."

Ying Wuji: "..."

He was thinking now.

Should he try the family planning products in the next business of the soap factory?

Damn it, he had the "Book of Wind and Moon" but it was completely useless!

...

Three days later.

Kingdom Qian.

Capital city Yongcheng.

...

At the grand court meeting, the ministers argued with each other, using different tactics to request Ying Yue to officially declare war on Kingdom Li, even though they had no certainty of victory.

Even though Kingdom Qian had not yet recovered from the previous war.

But they still didn't want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Currently, there was no internal turmoil in Kingdom Li, but the long-standing conflict had been pushed to the forefront.

Now, the Zhao clan had mobilized nearly half of their forces to the north.

If Kingdom Qian were to send troops now, it would be almost impossible for the Zhao clan to come to the aid of the Wei family. Even the greed of Kingdom Chu could be ignited, turning the initial military exercise into a feast of the two countries dividing Kingdom Li.

Whether they could win the war was not the main concern.

The key was that this was an extremely rare opportunity to go east.

As long as they could open up a way to the east, even if both sides were injured, so what?

Therefore, whether they were civil officials or military generals, they followed like demons, one after another, requesting Ying Yue to tear up the alliance between Kingdom Qian and Kingdom Li.

Unfortunately, Ying Yue's attitude was even more resolute, rejecting their requests one by one.

He held great power in Kingdom Qian, so even if the civil officials and military generals were eager, they could only end up with no choice but to give up.

Finally.

The grand court meeting ended.

But someone did not leave.

Ying Yue looked at his son and asked in a deep voice, "Wuque, this is your first time attending the grand court meeting. How do you feel?"

Ying Wuque had long emerged from the shadow of a month ago. Today, he was dressed as a noble prince of Kingdom Qian, looking tall and handsome, completely like a prince cultivated by royal etiquette.

Just by his demeanor, one could not imagine that three months ago, he was just a country bumpkin.

He smiled respectfully and bowed, "The majesty of the king should be the ruler of the world. Your son admires it!"

Ying Yue did not correct his words.

Although Zhou Tianzi still held the supreme position in terms of etiquette.

But in terms of political status, Zhou Tianzi had long given way.

Although the three families were divided, and the Tian clan and the Qi clan had not made any progress due to Zhou Tianzi's delay, it was more accurate to say that they were afraid of others using Zhou Tianzi's name to justify their military actions.

During the grand gathering of the hundred families, the hundred families could still imitate the Nine Provinces and deduce who could dominate the world.

Privately... calling oneself the "ruler of the world," what's wrong with that?

But what he wanted to hear from Ying Wuque was not such flattering words.

So his expression was very serious, "At today's court meeting, both civil officials and military generals hope that I can go to war with Kingdom Li. What do you think?"

Ying Wuque took a deep breath, "I think the ministers' desire to go east is understandable, but it is too eager for immediate success!"

"Oh?"

Ying Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, "Do you also think that we should give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

"No!"

Ying Wuque shook his head and smiled, "Of course we cannot give up this opportunity to go east, but if we wait a few more years, it will be even better!"

Ying Yue leaned forward slightly, giving off a sense of oppression, and asked with a smile that was not a smile, "Oh?"

Ying Wuque remained calm, "Today! Both civil officials and military generals believe that we cannot allow Kingdom Li to reform, thinking that once the Zhao clan succeeds in their reforms, their national strength will greatly increase. But I think otherwise.

...

First of all, reform is not something that can be achieved overnight, especially the foundation of the Zhao clan's reform is the new land in the north. From cultivation to production, it will take at least three years.

During these three years, the strength of the Zhao clan will be consumed.

This consumption will inevitably become resources for our cultivation in Kingdom Qian.

And regardless of whether the reform is successful or not, Wei and Han will definitely see the Zhao clan as a thorn in their side. The internal conflicts in Kingdom Li cannot be reconciled, and the Zhao clan cannot swallow Wei and Han just by relying on reforms.

If Wei and Han give up on sending troops this time, unless there are other changes, the only outcome is being bled dry by the Zhao clan, with only the difference in the speed of being bled.

If Wei and Han react quickly, they will definitely find ways to break free from the shackles of Kingdom Li.

Once Kingdom Li is divided into three, what we will face in Kingdom Qian is a weak and feeble Wei and Han.

From this perspective, the difficulty of going east will be much lower than it is now."

"Oh?"

Ying Yue asked in return, "In your opinion, allowing Kingdom Li to reform brings only benefits and no harm?"

Ying Wuque shook his head, "Of course not! Once the Zhao clan's reforms succeed, their national strength will definitely skyrocket. Although Wei and Han will be trapped in a dilemma, the alliance of the Ji clan is also watching closely. Whether any of the three families grows stronger, it is detrimental to Kingdom Qian.

Therefore, I believe that when the Zhao clan is sucking the blood of Wei and Han, Kingdom Qian should exert pressure.

At the same time, we should prevent the establishment of the Ji clan alliance.

As long as five years later, there will be a half-dead Wei Kingdom in this world.

Our momentum to go east will already be halfway there!"

"Not bad!"

Ying Yue finally showed an approving expression, "It seems that you have learned a lot during this time."

Ying Wuque smiled and bowed, "Your praise is too much! Wuque has been diligently studying since returning to Kingdom Qian and has not dared to slack off."He paused for a moment, then continued, "By the way, Father! I heard that my brother Wuji went to the northern front of the Kingdom Li a few days ago. He personally bandaged the wounds of the Crown Prince of Li, greatly boosting the morale of the Li army! Wuji's status in the Kingdom Li is indeed a great thing for the alliance between Kingdom Qian and Li!"

Ying Yue's face looked somewhat displeased, "He's acting more and more like a son-in-law, it's disgraceful!"

Ying Wuque quickly said, "Father, please don't be angry! I misspoke in the heat of the moment. Wuji is enduring humiliation for the sake of our motherland, he didn't..."

"Enough!"

Ying Yue waved his hand to interrupt, "Whether his actions were inappropriate, I have my own judgement. You don't need to speak for him. These days, you should focus on your cultivation. On the third day of the third month next year, you must obtain the Hanguang Sword! At that time, the entire Kingdom Qian will support you!

The three swords of the King of Shang, each one possesses world-shaking power.

If you can obtain it with the body of Emperor Zhuan Xu, supplemented by the resources accumulated by Kingdom Qian, you will surely be able to compete for the world.

Do you have confidence?"

Ying Wuque declared loudly, "I have confidence! Now I have condensed a first-grade spirit embryo, and even formed the body of Emperor Zhuan Xu. Unless there is someone in this world who can break through the cocoon realm with thirteen layers of essence, energy, and spirit, no one participating in the Sword Immortal Conference could possibly be my match!"

He spoke with great confidence.

Because he really couldn't imagine how he could lose!

First-grade spirit embryo + body of Emperor Zhuan Xu, only he understood what these eight words represented.

Perhaps, the Crown Prince of the Kingdom Li also knew, after all, it was rumored that he had integrated a drop of Emperor Zhuan Xu's blood.

....

But the more it was like this, Zhao Ning should know how terrifying he was. In the Sword Immortal Conference, if he encountered him, he might be scared into surrendering directly.

In this world, how many people could be stronger than Zhao Ning?

The Hanguang Sword, he had long considered it as his own.

Unless someone breaks through the cocoon realm, refining essence, condensing energy, or gathering spirit has already broken through the thirteenth layer. After all, the difference between the twelfth and thirteenth layers is like heaven and earth. If there really is such a freak, he might not necessarily win.

But to propose such a hypothesis was purely scaring himself.

In this world, it was already considered a genius to break through the twelfth layer in one aspect of essence, energy, and spirit. How could anyone break through the thirteenth layer?

Ying Yue also waved his hand, "Don't mention the nonsense about the thirteenth layer. You must get the Hanguang Sword. As long as you can get it, I will give you the position of the Crown Prince when you come back, understand?"

The position of the Crown Prince!

Ying Wuque's heart skipped a beat in excitement, and he quickly bowed and said, "Yes! Father! I will not fail my mission!"

Ying Yue nodded slightly, "You may leave!"

"Your son takes his leave!"

After Ying Wuque left, the great hall became much quieter.

Ying Yue sat alone on the high seat, his expression as calm as water, showing no signs of joy or sorrow.

After a long while.

He sighed softly, "Come out!"

As soon as his words fell, two figures, one old and one young, walked out from the shadows.

The young man was Gongsun Di, who had just returned from the Kingdom Li, and the old man was Gongsun Yun, who had just resigned from his official position less than half a year ago. This former pillar of the court had long stopped meddling in politics, and his remaining identities were few and far between.

Find the original at "pawread.com".

One of them was Gongsun Di's grandfather.

Ying Yue glanced at the two of them, "What do you think of this son of mine?"

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, neither of them spoke.

Ying Yue was somewhat dissatisfied, "Gongsun Di! Prince Wuque is your future king, don't you want to make some comments?"

If these words were heard by outsiders, they would definitely be shocked.

After all, Prince Wuji had just gotten married, and even though it was clear to anyone with discerning eyes what Ying Yue was thinking, hearing him so blatantly call him the "new king", it would be hard to remain calm.

But Ying Yue said it anyway.

Because at this moment, he valued Gongsun Di no less than Ying Wuque.

This young man's performance at the Hundred Families Banquet was not particularly stunning, but Ying Yue saw a different kind of temperament in him.

This temperament, he had only felt it from the historical figure, Lord Shang.

Such a person, willing to die for reform.

Ying Yue never doubted that Kingdom Qian would unify the world, especially after Ying Wuque broke through the cocoon realm.

What he was worried about was that the war chariot of Kingdom Qian would lose control and crash, just like the result of the Nine Provinces Scroll.

Gongsun Di failed to hold onto this chariot during his deduction.

But that doesn't mean he can't after decades of honing.

This young man has the appropriate knowledge and integrity.

Therefore, he should become the pillar of Kingdom Qian in the future.

Gongsun Di sighed lightly, "Prince Wuque's remarks show a good understanding of the overall situation. He... has a good memory! Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Ying Yue countered, "Did you hear it?"

Gongsun Di helplessly shook his head, "Mainly because this tone and argument, it's really hard not to think of Consort Lin."

....

Ying Yue continued to ask, "What else?"

"Nothing else!"

"Don't you think he lacks tolerance?"

"Although Prince Wuque is older than Prince Wuji and his upbringing environment is not necessarily superior, he doesn't need to rely on others. It's normal for him to be more competitive due to his youth. He may not necessarily fail to become a wise and powerful ruler."

Gongsun Di was somewhat helpless, he also hoped that his future king would be a wise and powerful ruler.

The position of Crown Prince for Ying Wuque was basically secured, but he still tried to trap Wuji on the issue of the "enemy's crown prince", which was neither painful nor itchy.

Such an act would not cause any harm to Wuji, but would make him appear despicable.

He could only hope that under Ying Yue's guidance, this prince could possess more qualities of a great ruler.

However, Ying Yue snorted, "Wuji was indeed inappropriate this time, but he wasn't wrong to scold him! Have you chosen the farmers I asked you to select?"
