Chapter 930: Li Jiaxi Was Lucky

hard, how come you're so tired!" Li Lao Si waved his hand, "Bring me two pots of cold tea, I came back riding a fast horse!" Tao Hongying heard this and knew something had happened, she quickly threw...Jia Yin was idle and had nothing to do, so she took some fabric and planned to embroider a few pouches for her brothers.

Her craftsmanship was average, but she could still manage to embroider things like "gold list top scorer".

In three days, it will be the big exam.

Just so, she can leave the palace tomorrow, she'll hurry and finish it in her space tonight. She can take it home to her brother too.

As soon as the package was opened, Shui Ling rushed in, shouting, “Miss, Miss! It’s a great joyous event, a great joyous event!”

Jia Yin's hand froze, she guessed at a possibility, her heart pounded wildly. She quickly asked, "Did my brother and the others return from sea!"

Suiling ran out of breath, nodding vigorously as she spoke rapidly, "My lady, this servant went to deliver refreshments to the Emperor just now. The head steward caught me and asked me to help with something, so I'm back a bit late."

"It just so happened that news arrived. Previously, Quanzhou had sent an eight-hundred-li urgent dispatch. The Fourth and Fifth Young Masters, accompanied by envoys from eight countries, had returned from overseas."

"I am currently residing in Quanzhou, awaiting the imperial decree's summons. Upon receiving it, I shall immediately proceed to the capital!"

"Wonderful!" Jia Yin was ecstatic, jumping up excitedly. Her eyes welled up with tears in the next instant.

You have to know, back when the brothers went out to sea, she was the one who supported them.

For years, a mountain of guilt had been weighing on her heart, fearing news of disaster and the silence from her brothers.

Every time family members brought up her brothers, she would smile and tell them stories, appearing incredibly sure that they were safe and sound. In reality, she did this to reassure her family.

She privately didn't know how many nightmares she had, regretting countless times.

Now, brothers, you're safely back!

I'm finally back!

She didn't care how many envoys her brothers brought, or what great deeds they accomplished, as long as they returned safely!

"Come, let's go see Emperor Uncle. I want to ask him for clarification."

Jia Yin could not stand it any longer, regardless of whether it was dark or not, she got up and walked out.

Waterling hurried to catch up. When Watercloud heard the news and came out of the kitchen, they were already gone…

In the imperial study, the emperor was talking with the Marquis, both their expressions filled with joy.

The Emperor praised, "The Li family are truly the lucky stars of Tianwu. Since they came to the new capital, they haven't caused me any trouble, but rather have brought endless surprises."

"Not to mention that Li Zhensheng found back the high-yield grain and solved the food shortage for the people of Tianwu, even Li Lao Si and Li Jia Yi are both in the army, fighting for the country. "

By the way, were Li Jia's two sons also included in this big exam Now that there are two more back from the sea, having accomplished such a great feat!

"If everyone in the world were like the Li family, I would sleep soundly!"

The lines on the Marquis's face, which had always been rather stern, were now softened considerably. He spoke, "If the Li family heard this, they would surely be overjoyed. From the eldest matriarch to the youngest boys, they have always been grateful to the Emperor for giving them a place to settle and survive on Broken Gold Beach."

The old woman always taught her grandchildren to be grateful and loyal. The young men were also eager and competitive, wanting to make a name for themselves.

Now it seems, they have no time to aspire for higher positions. Finally, they repaid the emperor's years of attention and cultivation.

Although he knew this was mostly a formality, the Emperor still listened with great pleasure.

"Cousin, don't attribute the credit to me. I have watched the Li family rise step by step to where they are today. How could I possibly be jealous"

If one truly wants to be jealous, it wouldn't be me. I wonder what's gotten into all these wealthy families in the capital.

"Those good-for-nothing grandchildren of theirs spend their days playing with cats and dogs, eating, drinking, and having fun. None of them are even as good as one son of the Li family!"

This time, the Lord actually nodded in agreement.

"The boys from the Li family were all raised freely, without any strict discipline. They became accomplished simply because of their upright and open family traditions, learning by example."

Having said that, he continued, “Just now, taking advantage of the opportunity when the Hailan Army's 800 li urgent dispatch was sent, Li Zhensheng also wrote me a letter. Li Jiayi has already set a date for his marriage and will be bringing his new bride home in a few days.”

"Oh, does Lady Li truly agree to him marrying an orphan" The Emperor had naturally arranged for people in Quanzhou to send information to Xindu on time.

Although he didn't order anyone to specifically monitor the Li family's actions in Quanzhou, such news would surely reach him as the people of Quanzhou are well-informed.

He even knew the details of Gu Nü Coral's life story and experiences.

The Marquis wasn't surprised. He nodded in agreement, "Yes, the Li family sent a dowry and plans to marry her properly.

"

The Lee family has always valued character over background when it comes to choosing a daughter-in-law. As long as the woman is kind and their son likes her, they will not object.

At this point, he smiled again and added a few more things.

This time, the Li family is truly blessed with double happiness. Not only is Jia Yi getting married, but in a short while, there might even be another welcoming ceremony for Jia Xi. Because Jia Xi has also brought back a wife from overseas, and she's even given birth to a child.

"What Li Jiaxi married a woman from a foreign country!" The Emperor was surprised, his curiosity burning brightly.

"In a barbaric land like that, it is said to be uncivilized, with both men and women covered in hair all over their bodies, just like monkeys. How could the Li family's son possibly fancy such a woman!"

The marquis poured tea for the emperor, stretching it out a moment. Seeing the urgency in his eyes, he said, "Amongst the envoys from the Eight Nations, there is Queen of the Golden Buddha Country. Your Majesty should have seen the list, right"

"Jia Xi married the queen of this Jin Buddha Country. It is said that the seafaring fleet encountered a storm and was shipwrecked on the coast of Jin Buddha Country. Jia Xi was injured and saved by a woman from Jin Buddha Country. Later, it turned out that this woman was the princess of Jin Buddha Country!"

The Golden Buddha clan stood tall, bullying the King of the Golden Buddha with illness and coveting the princess's beauty. The prince was also young. Therefore, the Golden Buddha Princess requested Jia Xi and others to help, finally eliminating the powerful clans.

The princess publicly sought a husband, and the Jia family took advantage of the situation to marry her. There was love between them, accounting for five out of ten, but there was also a desire for the Jia family to have a reliable place to repair their fleet during their return journey.

"Unexpectedly, on our way back, the king passed away. The princess ascended to the throne and became queen, even giving birth to a little boy!"

The Emperor's face was full of surprise and amusement. After a long pause, he sighed, "Li Jiaxi is too... lucky! To marry a princess and inherit the throne!"

The Lord nodded in agreement, replying: "Indeed, just as the Emperor said, the barbarians are uncivilized and lack proper etiquette. Even women can inherit the throne."

"Moreover, Prince Jinfo was immersed in poetry and books, had no interest in royal power, and was brought up by his elder sister since childhood. Therefore, he fully supported his elder sister's rule and showed no desire to compete for it. Nowadays, Jinfo is living a peaceful life. Even with the queen marrying me, Tianwu man, the people are very happy."

This time, the Queen of Jinfu's mission brought many treasures, all voluntarily presented by the people.

Indeed, hearing that the people of Jinfu revered him so, the Emperor was delighted.

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "How far is this Golden Buddha Kingdom from our Tianwu Coast"

"It would take about a month to sail there. After that, if the Tianwu were to establish sea trade or interact with overseas nations, Jinfu would be the most suitable transit point."

"It's not too far, unfortunately I have no chance to go and have a look." The Emperor casually replied, without saying anything more.

Just then, Jia Yin arrived and walked in, immediately asking.

"Uncle Emperor, Godfather, but have my fourth and fifth brothers returned safely from overseas" were truly a one-year-old child, she would undoubtedly be playing with joy. But she isn't! She's an old cucumber painted green, pretending to be young!After struggling through the mundane days of inf...
