Chapter 1072: Baifeng's Nagging

~7 min read 1,309 words

"You two might not know or understand this, but according to my projections, it would be best not to have any contact with this Jiuli for now. We can talk about the future later, but this sudden contact and connection with Changle makes me feel something is not quite right; things have become a bit difficult to handle."

Chinv was puzzled, but could only follow Baifeng's line of thought: "Then what should we do? Should we still let him marry this wife from Changle? Or should we just tell him not to marry her? We should consider our Huaxia; we have so many women in all of Huaxia, I can just find him another one."

Sui also chimed in from the side. The two of them still felt that the interests of Huaxia were higher than Changle's feelings. This could be considered a slight change they had undergone after being in Huaxia for so many years. If it were in the past, they would definitely have sided with Changle and their own child, and wouldn't have cared about Huaxia or anything else.

But Baifeng did not think so: "Since Changle has already thought and acted this way, then I, as his father, must be his backing. I have said that no matter what kind of woman he finds, I will help him settle it. Isn't she just a princess of the Jiuli? It happens to match my son's status."

"As for whether it is troublesome, we will talk about that later. With a Huaxia as large as mine, what other problems could possibly arise? Besides, isn't the purpose of me establishing Huaxia to ensure my children no longer suffer?"

"Now that Huaxia has developed to this extent just as I envisioned, when there was nothing, I was afraid; now, what else do I have to fear? Let Changle just go ahead and find her. Don't talk about one; even if it were ten, I would find a way to settle it for him."

In this whole affair, what made Baifeng feel afraid was not that Changle had married a wife with a very special status, requiring him to handle more and more troublesome diplomatic relations, but that he could no longer grasp the direction of history.

Baifeng's greatest reliance was that he was a prophet; he could know everything in advance. Therefore, he did not, and dared not, change history too much, so that history would always develop within a range he was familiar with and could grasp. He could stay just one step ahead of history, always able to be ahead of other tribes.

But the small changes, bit by bit, had now turned into giant waves. From the day of the alliance with the Xuanyuan Tribe, the direction of history had actually gradually deviated from Baifeng's control. He wanted to secure a corner; to put it nicely, it was to occupy and rule all the barbarian lands that they had not controlled in history, so that naturally, they could be independent from the development process of the true "Huaxia" history.

Not participating and not interfering, being able to see it all—this was how he could protect himself. This could be considered a method of Baifeng's low-profile development, and it was also the secret weapon that allowed him, a person who arrived in this era alone, to live safely until now.

But the small changes, like individual drops of water, had now turned into heaven-shaking waves. Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe had already united to attack the Shennong Clan. Yet in history, the Suiren Clan would surrender to Xuanyuan, Shennong would become the Flame Emperor, and afterwards, go to attack the God of War Chiyou.

Baifeng's arrangements and plans for the future now seemed to require a major overhaul. But perhaps Baifeng did not know how to change them at all. He no longer knew history; his reliance was completely gone at this moment.

Without the prophet ability, Baifeng was now the same as all the Tribal Chiefs. He didn't even have that kind of protagonist halo; perhaps he was just a very ordinary person. Baifeng could now only rely on himself for everything.

"Fine, his father, then you must remember what you said. Then for this matter of Changle, you must settle it and handle it well for me!"

For the sake of her son, Chinv was now willing to lay down harsh words. Before obtaining Baifeng's consent, no matter how much she doted on her son, she had to prioritize the interests of Huaxia. Now that Baifeng himself had said he would solve this problem for Changle, he naturally could not go back on his word.

Baifeng also smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. As long as that woman and those people from the Jiuli are not lying to me or lying to Changle, I will not be short on what should be given to them."

"I will give them enough betrothal gifts; I must also give Chiyou some face. I will also hold Changle's wedding beautifully. That woman is said to be named Ayuduo; I will treat her the same as I treat Zhi, there will be no difference, and all the proper aesthetics will be there."

"The wedding will also take place, and it will certainly be joyous enough. But if they dare to deceive me or deceive Changle, then none of that will happen, and they will also suffer my wrath."

Chinv asked anxiously: "Then what about Changle? What if he really likes that woman, and what if he is deceived? Then what should we do? What should we do?"

"Can't we just keep the woman? Can't I, Baifeng, keep a woman for my son? Of course, as the price for the deception, I am unwilling to give her any status or position. Chinv, it is too early to say anything now. Let's wait for them to return. I hope everything is good, and that Changle can obtain the love that belongs to him. As for the relationship with the Jiuli, I will find a way."

"You two should prepare your clothes for the wedding now. It has been so long since there has been a grand happy event of this scale; your clothes are probably about to get moldy."

"Also, you should prepare something for that one named Ayuduo. She will definitely need clothes and jewelry. I estimate the Jiuli do not have that many good things; you two can just handle it as you see fit."

"Sui, follow up on the wedding matters. Urge the Ministry of Rites and keep an eye on them. I have really had too many things lately and don't have much time to pay attention to these."

Sui immediately agreed: "Fine, no problem. I will go and keep an eye on it; they shouldn't make any mistakes."

"Now that these two children are married and have started families, you can worry a little less. Although your status is noble, you are mothers after all, and you both have things to worry about. However, when you consider things, you must not only consider your own children, but also the influence on the entire Huaxia..."

"If you feel a bit overwhelmed or tired with your own work, just hand it over to others to do. There is no need to force yourselves. Zhi can work now too, it's not like another one is coming. I am thinking about whether we can specifically hand over the industries you manage to the women of the Royal Family. It is currently a period of reflection; you can think about it yourselves. I won't bother with it."

Regarding Baifeng's nagging, although Sui and Chinv were a bit annoyed, they would still listen carefully and eventually follow Baifeng's requirements. After all, in their eyes, Baifeng was everything; Baifeng was Heaven.
