Chapter 1081: Meeting the Daughter-in-law

"What guest could still be staying there? Xuanyuan hasn't returned either. Could it be, is it Baoxi?"

Zhigui replied in a low voice: "It's not Baoxi, but his children—a whole group of them. They are all attending school here now. Because the courtyard for Baoxi hasn't been finished yet, they were arranged to stay there for the time being. I estimate they won't be able to move out until next year. This time, Prince, you will just have to stay at your place."

"Wang Ye said, they are all your relatives anyway, so it's fine to have them stay."

Changle could only wave his hand: "Fine, fine, then arrange for them to go to my place. Just arrange three rooms; there aren't many people. Ayuduo will stay with me."

"Very well, Prince. Shall I take you to see the King now?"

Changle gestured with his hand: "Go ahead, you accompany us. After all, this can be considered a delegation from the Jiuli."

"I'll go arrange the ox cart now. Why did you walk here, Prince? If you had just let them call out, I would have had the ox cart ready immediately."

Bingzhu and the others did not interrupt the two's conversation and just watched from the side. But when the topic reached this point, Changle pointed at their complexions: "They are all seasick; they were rocked severely. They only just started to recover a little today. We can't let them ride in an ox cart; they will be rocked into dizziness again."

Once Zhigui looked, he saw that several of them were indeed listless, as if their bodies had been hollowed out. Zhigui himself knew how miserable seasickness was, so he agreed with Changle's words and did not prepare an ox cart for them. Although the ox cart was open-topped, it was still bumpy after all. For these people who had just come off a boat and had already been rocked for too long, getting into a cart might still make them dizzy.

And so, the group continued walking over to see Baifeng. Baifeng, however, felt a bit nervous at this moment. Perhaps it was because he was about to meet his daughter-in-law, and he had that kind of different feeling. Zhi was different; Baifeng had seen Zhi since she was small, so he was very familiar with her and felt no discomfort or strangeness at all.

Like this situation now, where his son brought back a strange woman directly, it was the first time for Baifeng, like a young maiden getting into a bridal sedan. He had even thought about what he should do if Miaoyin found a man and brought him back.

Yulong, on the other hand, was completely indifferent. He wasn't nervous at all, just a bit curious and expectant. He wanted to see what kind of woman his good younger brother had chosen. He had been picking and choosing for so long, not finding one in all of Huaxia, nor in the entire Xuanyuan Tribe, and now he had actually found one from the Jiuli. Strange, strange, truly strange.

Baifeng tugged at the corner of his clothes and adjusted his collar, always feeling that something was not quite right. Yulong was calm and composed, drinking tea, his eyes occasionally glancing at his father who was not as steady as usual. He wanted to laugh a little in his heart, but he didn't dare, so he could only pretend he hadn't seen anything.

Fortunately, the pace was quite fast, and Zhigui brought the few people over. Baifeng coughed to let them in. Yulong also put down his teacup, straightened his clothes, and sat upright to the side of Baifeng.

After Changle entered, ignoring the Jiuli people who were trying to see what Baifeng looked like, he took Ayuduo's hand and knelt before Baifeng: "Your son Changle, bringing my wife Ayuduo, pays his respects to Father."

Baifeng looked at the two kneeling on the ground without speaking. Bingzhu and the others were startled by Changle's sudden action and took a step back. Afterward, they also looked up at Baifeng. Baifeng's presence was very imposing, and for a moment, Bingzhu and the others did not dare to speak.

After Ayuduo knelt and gave her greetings, she looked up at Baifeng and found that Baifeng was also looking at her. Frightened, she immediately lowered her head. Yulong found it quite interesting.

"Alright, get up. You are quite capable, I didn't expect that."

Hearing his father's tone, which held no dissatisfaction, Changle carefully pulled Ayuduo up. For Changle, he had already set his heart on Ayuduo; he had truly felt love. He wanted to be with Ayuduo no matter what, so he had used "wife Ayuduo" from the start to express his stance to his father. Now it seemed there was no problem.

After standing up, Changle pulled Ayuduo again, bowed slightly toward Yulong, and said: "Greetings, Elder Brother."

Ayuduo also took a cautious look at Yulong but didn't dare to speak. This house, or rather this hall, was so large, and combined with the positions where Baifeng and Yulong sat, it gave people a sense of immense oppression. If this were in an open space outside, Ayuduo and the others would definitely not have been this constrained.

Baifeng ignored Bingzhu and the others and said to Changle: "Come, you two come forward, let me take a good look."

Changle held Ayuduo's hand and walked to Baifeng's side. Baifeng sat with his legs spread wide, and now he began to examine Ayuduo in detail. From the details, Ayuduo indeed did not look like someone who had suffered much, so her status as a Princess should be correct.

Looking at her ornaments, they were also very precious in this era. At the same time, they gave Baifeng a sense of familiarity. In his previous life, Baifeng had stayed in the Sichuan region for a long time and had seen many different ethnic groups. In some of the attire, he could see a little bit of similarity. However, Ayuduo's current dress was surely that of the ancestors; the descendants had made changes based on this foundation due to various reasons and circumstances.

"Is your father Chiyou?"

Ayuduo nodded: "Yes."

Baifeng glanced at the dissatisfied Bingzhu and the others again and asked: "Does your father keep a black and white bear, an Iron-Eating Beast?"

At this, Ayuduo raised her head in disbelief, her eyes staring fixedly at Baifeng. Bingzhu and the others also took a slight step forward. Baifeng knew a bit too much, didn't he? It was abnormally much. They didn't even know there was a place called Huaxia, yet this King of Huaxia knew everything.

If they thought about it now, it seemed their meeting was a bit too coincidental. And how could this Changle have the same hobby as Ayuduo? And he was actually a Prince of Huaxia. How could such an important person be placed on someone else's territory to search for wild Grass in such a distant wilderness?

Bingzhu and the others realized belatedly that they had a feeling of being tricked by a joint effort between Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe. Xuanyuan and Huaxia were in an alliance and had both gone to attack the Shennong Clan together; in terms of relationships, they were closer than they were to the Jiuli. So, could this matter be a Trap set for their Jiuli by Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe working together?

But what was their purpose in doing so? And how did they know that Ayuduo would come this time?

Could it be, that pigeon?
