Chapter 174 9 States for Marriage
After Bailu, Jiaxu, September 11th.
The dawn is just breaking. In the past, Fengxiang City was still immersed in a hazy sleep.
But today is different. In the streets and alleys of Fengxiang City, from the beginning to the end of the street and then to the trees all over the city, there are countless red ribbons tied, swaying in the wind, all telling of the joy that is to come.
On this day, the team transporting the betrothal gifts set out from Dongjun Mansion. It was huge and stretched for dozens of miles, like a red ribbon.
The most eye-catching float in the team is the one in the middle.
Over the years, the Empress and the King of Qi have worked hard to govern the people, and the lives of the people have become better and better. In addition, the subsequent recovery of the Western Regions has brought their reputation to its peak.
And because today is the wedding of the Empress of Huanyinfang and the legendary Mr. An of Fengxiang Academy, King Qi has ordered a one-year tax exemption for the entire city. The people of Fengxiang City are extremely happy.
There was an endless stream of people coming to witness this rare happy event that only happens once in a century. Even though both sides of the road were lined with people from Huanyinfang and Qi Wangfu, they could only barely maintain order.
Anton-jun was wearing a bright red wedding dress with dragon and phoenix patterns embroidered with gold thread sparkling in the sun.
He has a handsome face with a faint smile on his lips. The float under his feet is gorgeously decorated with phoenixes and peonies painted on the body, symbolizing good luck and wealth.
He stroked the car body gently and was very satisfied with the scene. It was his wife's wedding and he had given it enough honor.
When everything was ready, Anton-kun told the MC next to him, "Let's go!"
With an order, the drum band began to play festive music, the guard of honor raised the flag, and the entire team marched towards Prince Qi's palace in a mighty manner.
People along the way all looked out, with discussions and blessings coming one after another.
......
There was a busy and festive scene in Prince Qi's mansion.
Servants were shuttling back and forth, carrying all kinds of gifts and decorations, making final preparations for today's big event.
Inside the room, the air was filled with a faint floral scent. The sunlight filtered through the window lattice and sprinkled onto the exquisite carpet, creating patches of mottled light and shadow.
The bride sat in front of the dressing table, wearing a red and green hairpin dress. The delicate silk shone with a soft luster under the light.
The gold ornaments and embroidery on her clothes were intricate and gorgeous, and the phoenix crown was even more dazzling, inlaid with various gems, which set off her elegant and beautiful face.
"You are as beautiful as the fairies in the picture book. Master An is so lucky."
Xuan Jingtian stood behind the empress, gently combing her glittering gauze dress while teasing Anton Jun, but he couldn't suppress the reluctance in his eyes.
Miao Chengtian, who was applying makeup to the empress, heard this and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Don't say such things in the future." The empress said softly, but her tone was extremely serious.
She naturally knew what Xuan Jingtian meant, but she didn't like making such jokes on such a happy day, especially jokes about Anton Jun.
"Yes..." Xuan Jingtian remained silent.
Just then, a maid ran over and shouted outside the house: "Master An is here!"
Hearing this, Miao Chengtian and his sister quickly helped the empress to pack up, handed her the fan, and went out together to welcome the groom.
At this time, many relatives, friends and princes who came to congratulate had gathered in front of Prince Qi's mansion.
They were all dressed in their best clothes and had smiles of different emotions on their faces.
When the team led by Anton-kun appeared on the corner of the street, a cheer rang out.
An Dongjun got off the float and walked steadily towards the gate of Prince Qi's mansion.
Li Maozhen came out with a smile on his face. He held An Dongjun's hand and said, "Finally you're here."
Everyone says, "An elder brother is like a father." But in his heart, he felt that as an elder brother, not only had he failed to fulfill his responsibilities, but he had also made his younger sister suffer. He felt really ashamed.
But now that I have this boy named Anton, my sister is happy now, and I still have a chance to make up for those days. Fortunately, fortunately.
"go in."
Li Maozhen turned aside, and An Dongjun's eyes passed over him.
In the distance, Li Zhaozhao stood in front of the door, holding an exquisite fan in her hand, elegantly covering half of her face.
When he saw Li Zhaozhao appear there, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He walked forward slowly and stretched out his hand to take the red silk from the host's hand.
The two of them crossed the saddle side by side, and then took the betrothal gifts from Prince Qi's mansion back home to get married.
Along the way, although the people on both sides of the road could not see the bride's true face, they could tell from the appearance of the groom that the bride must be extremely beautiful.
Finally, led by the master of ceremonies, the two stepped over a fire basin decorated with red flowers and ribbons.
After completing a number of rituals including the Three Arrows to Decide the outcome and the Sharing Prison Ceremony in the presence of many friends and relatives.
He worshipped heaven and earth in the presence of Li Maozhen and Yang Shuzi.
For Yang Shuzi and Li Maozhen, the wedding of their apprentice/sister and daughter-in-law/brother-in-law had long been a foregone conclusion, and they had said countless words of celebration in private.
Considering that the empress is now pregnant, they decided to keep things simple today.
As the wedding came to an end, after the bride entered the bridal chamber, Anton-jun stayed behind to deal with the guests.
Most people were quickly knocked down by Anton Jun, except Li Maozhen.
It was as if he was in a fight with Anton Jun. He kept using his internal energy to dissipate the drunkenness in his body, which made Anton Jun so angry that he cursed him in his heart as shameless.
Finally, Anton Jun used the Warren needle to seal his meridians, making him temporarily unable to practice his skills, and then he gave up.
At night, after taking care of everyone, Anton-jun set out on the journey back to his new house.
He returned to his new house only after using his inner strength to completely dispel the smell on his body on the way.
This place has been decorated to be warm and romantic.
The red curtains were hung low, and the bed was covered with a quilt embroidered with a mandarin duck pattern.
He closed the door gently, turned around and looked at Li Zhaozhao lying on the big bed.
A blush appeared on her face and her heart was beating so hard that it seemed like it was going to jump out of her chest.
They are obviously an old married couple, but the feeling of being newlywed today is still different from the past.
Anton Jun came to her, took the fan from her hand and put it aside, then gently untied the heavy gold jewelry on her head, revealing her long hair as soft as clouds.
He combed her hair gently, his eyes full of cherishment.
"There are so many formalities. You haven't eaten for nearly a day. Eat something."
As he spoke, he washed his hands, scooped up some food, came to Li Zhaozhao, sat next to her, and fed her bit by bit.
"I can do it myself... um~"
"I know, huh~" Anton Jun smiled and wiped the corner of her mouth: "But I just want to help you like this today, okay?"
"Hmm~"
Li Zhaozhao couldn't help but laugh out loud, what a childish mind he has.
However, she just nodded gently, without saying anything else, and obeyed him obediently.
After dinner, Anton Jun cleaned the room silently by himself. Li Zhaozhao was pregnant now, so consummating the marriage was naturally impossible.
So they just stayed together on the stone bench, talking, chatting, and imagining the future.
After a while, Anton Jun took out a few things from the room, spread them on the stone table one by one, and showed them to Li Zhaozhao.
She looked at Anton Jun, then at the scrolls on the table, and thought of the gifts brought by the various princes today, her eyes were full of disbelief:
"The unique betrothal gift you mentioned that day turned out to be this?!"
"How about using my sword to divide the nine states as a betrothal gift?"
Anton's tone was flat, as if he was talking about a very small matter.
At the wedding banquet today, all the princes presented various items of different values. Among them, there was one thing that all the princes had, and that was the letter of submission.
Just a month ago, on the last day of the princes' stay in Fengxiang, An Dongjun and Li Maozhen gathered with the princes to discuss.
Among them, the three southern kingdoms and the Han Kingdom were the fastest and most clear in expressing their willingness to surrender, and the remaining small princes basically had the same attitude.
Among them, the King of Wuyue raised a little objection, and the result of doing so was that his personal guards were all killed, and he was escorted back to the Kingdom of Wuyue by Li Cunren.
Seeing this, anyone who had any objections no longer had any objections.
Today, at the Empress' wedding, everyone presented their country's letters of submission, and this was the unique betrothal gift that Anton-kun mentioned when he left that day.
Li Zhaozhao leaned in his arms with a beautiful smile, she was indeed unique, but not even a fraction as good as him.
Lightly tap his nose: "Silly~"
"No way, I can't change it, and I don't want to change it."
And it was the same in his heart. He didn't care about becoming an emperor or anything like that. It wasn't anything like what they did.
At this moment, a sentence he had seen in his previous life suddenly popped up in Anton Jun's mind, but he was different from that great man.
Then just make some small changes, use this body as the king's sword, the world as the blade, the mountains and seas as the edge, control it with the five elements, open it with yin and yang, maintain it with spring and summer, and operate it with autumn and winter. You will be unparalleled in the world, and the world will submit to you!
The sword holder is only one person from beginning to end, and can only be one person.
