The Second Life of Hu Liena
57. Li Junjie's Wedding.
The Emperor's Palace...
Hu Boqin who just got the news about the incident that befell Xiulin. Immediately rushed over to Hu Liena.
"What happened to your brother?" The Whisperer Hu Boqin.
Hu Liena wanted to answer, but Li Junjie did not give her a chance.
"Your daughter got the karma she deserves!"
Hu Boqin turned her head towards Li Junjie.
"What does this mean, Prince?" Hu Boqin asked in surprise.
Li Junjie casually replied to Hu Boqin. "You can find out for yourself later, if you've gone home."
Hu Boqin wanted to ask again, but Hu Liena gestured for her not to continue with her intentions.
Li Junjie again spoke in a cold tone.
"You should be more able to discipline your beloved Wife and Daughter, so as not to disturb my future Wife again. Otherwise, I'll teach them myself directly."
LI Junjie's speech was able to make people as loud as Hu Boqin shudder in horror when they heard it.
"Both Your Highness the Prince, I will do as you ask."
Hu Liena did not know what to react to when she saw the interaction between the two people closest to her.
Either she had to cry or laugh!
What was clear, Hu Liena was confused right now. Who he will choose to defend. One was her father, and the other was her future husband, Hu Liena was completely puzzled by the current circumstances.
He wanted to defend his father, but what Li Junjie said was true as well.
If Hu Liena sided with Li Junjie, pity her father for being cornered.
Amidst Hu Liena's confusion, the sound of the Emperor echoed within the banquet room.
"Ministers, and honorable nobles! In addition to announcing the title of Princess Xia, and also at the same time welcoming special guests of the Sons of the Qian kingdom. Me, Li Jinhai! Want to announce something very important today!"
Everyone who had been rowdy because of the incident that befell Xiulin, so immediately fell silent as soon as they heard the loud voice of the Emperor.
The emperor looked around staring at everyone present there.
After pausing for a moment and taking a breath, the Emperor continued his words.
"One month from now, I will be having a wedding party between Prince Jun and Princess Xia. And on that very day, I will throw a feast of the people that will be in the title for seven days and seven nights for all of you."
The announcement from the Emperor left some girls heartbroken, who glanced at Hu Liena and cursed her inwardly.
On his seat, Li Jing Sheng and Li Jiang cheered so happily.
They had even forgotten to behave like a Princess and a Prince, and had to be willing to get a reprimand from the Empress for their ridiculous behavior.
"Sister, did you hear that? First Brother will soon marry Sister-in-law. That means, we can freely meet Brother-in-law as much as possible at any time." Li Jiang half-cried.
Li Jing Sheng nodded in satisfaction, he also looked excited upon hearing the decision from the Emperor.
He then shouted, and clapped for Hu Liena. "Sister-in-law! We are both happy for you!"
"Prince Jing, Princess Jiang! Be polite! It's a Palace banquet, not a family event!" The Empress rebuked her noisy Sons.
Li Jing Sheng blushed at the reprimand from the Mother.
While Princess Jiang just stuck out her tongue while grinning.
The Empress was not unhappy to hear this news directly from her Husband. But she only restrained herself, because she had to keep her adab as the Wife of the State leader.
Otherwise, perhaps the current Empress had laughed off her happiness.
His eldest son had suffered for too long.
At least, by the Emperor's decision to marry Li Junjie to the current Hu Liena. It will reduce the burden of his son's suffering.
Although her life may not be long, but if at the end of her life she is happy, the Empress will feel more relieved.
It is different from the happiness of the royal family.
Prince Yu Zemin of the Qian Country, instantly felt indignant at Li Jinhai's words.
His chance to take Hu Liena's heart was dashed already by this news.
"Suckers! I was defeated again!" Maki Yu Zemin slowly.
His hands clenched tightly as it held back the flames of his anger towards Li Junjie.
He was defeated by his enemies many times. Even now, Yu Zemin had to accept defeat before he could do anything about it.
The Princess Jia Li who was beside him was just silent.
He was afraid that if he spoke wrongly, his brother would be angry with him.
In the presence of the Emperor and the Empress...
Now Li Junjie and Hu Liena were paying homage to the Emperor and his wife, Empress Shu.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor! Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress!" Hu Liena said politely.
Li Junjie did the same.
He bowed with one hand crossed in front of the chest.
"Thank you, Father! Thank you Mother!"
The Emperor and Empress nodded in satisfaction with the courtesy of their Son and future Son-in-law.
The two seemed to be in harmony, like the Deities who came down from heaven. Making everyone's eyes, unable to turn away from the two of them.
"Wake up Prince, and Princess Xia, you are members of the royal family. So there's no need to salute us like that." The emperor was full of love.
After the Emperor spoke like that, Li Junjie helped Hu Liena to stand up straight. And stand side by side with him.
Li Junjie wanted to show everyone, that Hu Liena was hers who could not be bothered.
Especially to Prince Yu Zemin who had always been paying attention to Hu Liena.
Li Junjie was uncomfortable with the gaze Yu Zemin gave his future wife.
Therefore, Li Junjie as much as possible blocked Yu Zemin's gaze at Hu Liena with his body.
That was the reason why Li Junjie today, was sitting next to Hu Liena without even budging.
Even as Hu Liena walked before the Emperor and Empress, Li Junjie' followed suit.
"Because everything I want to say has been delivered, then I will end this banquet here."
Said the Emperor who got a positive response from everyone.
The tension that had occurred in the main room of the banquet, now evaporated into the air.
Some people even want to continue to compete with others.
But since the Emperor had already decided to end the banquet, then they could only surrender and accept it.
"Sister-in-law!" Princess Jiang immediately ran as soon as the invited guests dispersed.
"Daughter's Hamba!" Hu Liena replied politely.
