C1244 Celebration (2)
Xianyang City, Yi Yue Palace!
"The guests have arrived, the wedding is about to begin!" After hearing the middle-aged eunuch's announcement, Zi Xuan turned his head towards the direction of Prince Consort Ma's residence and said softly.
"Next, let's take a look at how many close friends Prince Consort has made over the past year." Nodding his head, the Emperor looked in the direction of the Residence of Prince Consort, his eyes filled with anticipation.
After all, the number of guests present, as well as the nobility of the status of the guests, was also an important part of the ceremony to see whether or not the wedding would be complete.
At the same time, it was also one of the main reasons why she decided to marry her daughter and increase or decrease her dowry.
"Your Majesty, who were the five guests just now? Why haven't I heard of them before?" When the middle-aged eunuch stopped to read out the guests, and knew that the group of guests was a group of people, Zi Xuan furrowed his brows and thought for a moment.
"In reply to the empress dowager, the five Star Seizer cultivators from just now are very famous rogue cultivators in the Southern Domain. The five of them are sworn siblings of the opposite sex."
Qin Di explained with a relaxed smile.
"Among them, the strongest, Old Man Starpicker, is already an expert at the first tribulation of Quasi-Martial Saint."
"So it was just a group of ordinary rogue cultivators!" After hearing Qin Emperor's explanation, Zi Xuan's eyes flashed with contempt.
"The Xu family of the Xu family of Dongxing City, I wish Prince Consort and the princess a happy marriage with my great-grandson Xu Shu!"
Just as Zi Xuan finished speaking with contempt, the middle-aged eunuch announced the second batch of guests.
When he heard that the second group of guests who came to attend the wedding and even sent out many gifts came from the Xu family that had lived in seclusion for tens of thousands of years, the contempt in Zi Xuan's eyes was immediately replaced with shock, and he could not help but turn to look at the Qin Emperor.
"Esteemed Empress Dowager, the Xu family is one of the few families in the Profound Sky Continent that is proficient in divination techniques."
Through the walls of the palace, Qin Di seemed to be able to see the Xu Family ancestors standing on the rainbow clouds, his tone rather solemn as he speculated.
"Today, they are actually willing to break the teachings of their ancestors, which had allowed them to live in seclusion for hundreds of thousands of years, and personally send people to attend the wedding. It seems like within the body of Prince Consort, there are secrets that you and I do not know about."
"Your Majesty, your conjecture is very reasonable. It looks like we need to add 10% to Ling Fei's dowry again." Nodding her head, Zi Xuan turned and looked at Qin Lingfei, who was revealing a joyous expression, and reminded him with a pained heart.
As the Qin Emperor's most beloved daughter and most treasured Prince Consort, the Qin Emperor had already prepared the heaviest dowry that Qin Lingfei had ever received from a princess.
An increase of ten percent on the original base would be equivalent to nearly half a month of Great Qin Empire's taxes. How could this not make Zi Xuan, who was in charge of managing the harem, feel heartache?
However, just as she finished reminding him, she heard the voice of the middle-aged eunuch reading out loud again.
"Why is she here? And why would they give such a great gift? " When he heard that the third guest to come visit was actually the fourth ranked out of the ten great rogue cultivators, Shen Yun Yun, Zi Xuan could not help but ask as his expression changed.
"Based on Shen Yunxiao's eccentric character, he should have never come into contact with Prince Consort He and personally participated in the wedding. Moreover, he even gave such a great gift. I'm afraid that he wants Prince Consort to help him concoct the pills." Qin Di guessed with a smile.
"That should be the case."
At the same time that he nodded in agreement to the Qin Emperor's speculations, Zi Xuan reminded him with a pained heart.
"Your Majesty, it looks like we'll have to increase the dowry by another fifty percent."
In front of Prince Consort's residence!
"It seems like Yun Xiao has met with some trouble. He probably wants me to help him refine the pill!"
In the end, Yu Haoran guessed that the real reason Shen Yunxiao came to attend the wedding ceremony was exactly the same as what the Qin Emperor had guessed.
Just as he thought this through, another two people slowly landed on the rainbow clouds.
Looking at the approaching Cyan Robed Mighty One and the green-clothed youth, Yu Haoran felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't immediately remember who they were.
Seeing that the Prince Consort did not go forward to welcome him, the eunuch in charge of running errands immediately welcomed him. Then, he extended his hand and received the name scroll, gift slip and a storage bag.1
"The first-rate sect master of the Profound Sky Continent, Zheng Jinhua, has taken her son, Zheng Zilong, to wish the Prince Consort and Princess a happy hundred years together.
"I'll give you thirty thousand grade one to nine spirit stones, ten grade six spirit herbs, and three grade five spirit herbs!"
When he heard the middle-aged eunuch announce the congratulation to the entire Xianyang City, Zheng Zilong lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at Yu Haoran directly.
Actually, just as Zheng Jinhua was about to take out the storage bag out with a pained heart, Yu Haoran had already remembered his identity.
In his previous life, Zheng Jinhua was Wu Zhengjun's teacher, and they had met once before.
"Junior Yu Haoran greets Vice Sect Leader Zheng and Junior Zheng!" With the most sincere smile on his face, Yu Haoran walked over quickly and greeted respectfully.
Although the Iron Blood Sect was a famous first-rate sect in the Profound Sky Continent, it was also the sect that was the least skilled in management, the sect that occupied the least land, and the sect that was the poorest.
In his previous life, the reason he was able to reunite with Wu Zhengjun and become his best friend was also because when they first met, he actively helped Wu Zhengjun earn a large portion of spirit stones.
"Prince Consort, Iron Blood Gate is too poor and their gifts are too light, please do not despise them!"
After going through dozens of years of training, Zheng Jinhua had long gotten used to a harsh life and was able to face the strange gazes calmly. However, their main goal in attending the wedding was for Yu Haoran to help them concoct a pill.
As a result, he was extremely worried that Yu Haoran would be unhappy because the gift was too thin, and refuse his request in the end.
"As the old saying goes, 'gifting a goose feather to a thousand miles'; this is a sign of courtesy and affection!"
Facing Zheng Jinhua's slightly embarrassed apology, Yu Haoran smiled and comforted him.
"Sect Leader Zheng, since I, Yu Haoran, am not someone of importance, I do not lack any treasures, so I will not be bothered."
As the most unskilled of the Iron Blood Sect, even the dignified Quasi-Martial Saint Realm Sect Master would personally come out to earn spirit stones at the most difficult times.
Therefore, he knew that the spirit stones and spirit herbs that Zheng Jinhua had just taken out were probably his entire identity. Besides feeling touched, how could he possibly feel discontent!
"That's good, that's good!"
To be able to hear the sincerity in Yu Haoran's comforting tone, Zheng Jinhua could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Arrange for Sect Leader Zheng and Junior Brother Zheng to go to the VIP area!" Bringing Zheng Jinhua and his son to the front of the palace, Yu Haoran instructed the eunuch in charge of the mansion.
This was because he knew that these eunuchs in charge were the eyes of a group of people.
If he hadn't specifically warned them, then with the wedding gift Zheng Jinhua had just given him, he would probably have been placed in the most remote corner of the ordinary guest area. This would have broken the heart of this father and son pair.
"Yes, Prince Consort!"
A head eunuch answered and led the Zheng Jinhua father and son into the manor.
