The next day after Li Jun goes off to school with the boys, it was an uproar in the city. Li Jun demanded that the boys families that had hit his sons to apologise as they belong to the royal family. The ones who hit the three boys did not know the consequences. Their fathers paid a visit to apologise personally to Prince Jun. They are all well know family of various officials. They cannot afford to lose the official post they are holding. They dragged their sons and came into the mansion to apologised. Li Gou, Li An and Li Xing stand behind their father who is lecturing the fathers of the other boys. Later, Li Jun invited the fathers to sit in the main hall. While they left the boys standing there in the garden. From where they sit, they can see that the boys are not moving nor talking. It is a stare down to see who starts to make noise in the garden of the prince mansion.
Banou walks out with the ladies to the main hall. The fathers for the first time see Banou. They are enchanted by her manners. Even shock to hear she can speak mandarin so well. Consort Wu told them, she is a family member never a slave from what other people said.
The boys who see Banou from a distance. See a beautiful foreign beauty.
"That is your mother, Li Xing?"
"Yes. So?"
"Wha... she is beautiful. Like a goddess."
Li Xing feels happy hearing that. He is planing to beat them up if they open their mouth to say something worthless. However this is pleasant to his hearing. So he let it go.
"She is indeed a goddess. My father is lucky to find her."
"Hey Li Xing. Can i be your friend?"
The rest of the other boys asked the same question too. Soon they boys are all in a group laughing and talking. They even ask if they can come over sometime. Li Xing sudden gain more friends to hang out with. He looks at his mother who is having a conversation with one of those men in the hall. He smile but in pain again. It's worth it.
The next few days, people begin to talk about the beautiful foreign beauty, the weddings and noble lady Li Ning's Heqin. It is the main topic that thew whole city is talking about. Soon someone is spreading rumours about Banou. Those who who knows Banou defended her character. While the other side of the city who did not get to know her are listening to the rumours talking baseless topics. Some even said that she is a princess that have been fallen from grace. Aylin who hear this is excited. She happy inform Banou what she have hear. Banou frown as she listen.
"They should stop talking about me. They should be talking about the wedding that is coming up."
"People are more interested in you. But my princess, i wonder who is spreading rumours about you in the first place."
"Let's not bother about these. The person have to face judgement in the end of his or her life. Here, help me cut these. I have to paste it on those lanterns after cutting them out."
On the day of the wedding, the sky is clear. The birds are chipping. The dogs are behaving well. The streets are sweep clean. Li Jun paid the street vendors for the morning so that the bride sedans can pass through easily without disrupting both business for the morning. The guest arrives shortly with gifts and congulations. The old butler in his best outfit welcome everyone with a big smile. He inform the servants to start hanging the decorations. The lanterns are hang up high on the main door fire crackers are in the air. Money is thrown from the main door to the street as the bride sedans pass through. From the north is the Gu Mei Hua and from the south is the Huang Rou Rou. They reach the main door of the prince mansion. Li Kang come out to receive his brides. The match makers hand him a red cloth one from the Gu and one from the Marquis Huang. He hold then as the brides come out form their sedans. Slowly the three make their way into the main hall. Inside Is Li Jun and Consort Wu siting down on the chair. Lady Ban who have given up her rights to her son have to watch from the side. She tears as she watch her son becoming a husband to two women. Lady Cui hold her hand and pat her gently. After the ceremony is done. The brides are shown to their room. While the guest are shown to the dining hall. Song and dances are echoing through the night. Fire crackers are fire high up non stop.
