Chapter 151 Marriage, the Three Southern Barbarian Royal Courts
October 28, the 45th year of Takeori.
In a gorgeous manor boudoir in the city of Danlian Mansion.
Situ Qianxue was wearing a phoenix crown and harem, sitting dignifiedly in front of the dressing table. Her face was like jade, her eyes were like stars, and her delicate face seemed to be a perfect work of art without any flaws.
"Miss, you are the most beautiful today!"
Xiaochan held the pearl phoenix crown on her head and praised it with a smile.
"What? Wasn't I beautiful before?" Situ Qianxue chuckled.
"No, Miss was also very beautiful before." Xiao Chan smiled infatuatedly, and when she looked at Situ Qianxue's profile, she had a feeling of inviolability.
Situ Qianxue smiled, and when she heard the noise outside the door, she quickly stood up and said, "Help me up."
"Hehe, miss, I can't wait any longer!" Xiaochan supported her and smiled.
"Don't talk nonsense, you can't lose etiquette today!" Situ Qianxue said with a solemn expression.
This wedding not only represents her and Qin Wei, but also represents the closeness between Beiyuan City and the Dali royal family.
Situ Qianxue stood up with Xiaochan's help, wearing a true red rosy robe and a red skirt. Her young and pretty face was reflected in the wedding dress, and even Xiaochan next to her seemed beautiful.
A lot.
In the manor, the clan official who was the officiant had already introduced Qin Wei into the house.
Then the officiant read a speech of congratulations and guided Qin Wei to kowtow to the ancestors of the Situ family. This ceremony should have been held in the Situ family ancestral hall in Beiyuan City, but now in Danlian Mansion, it is not so particular. Qin Wei
Just a few gestures towards the north and it was over.
The more wealthy the family, the more complicated their weddings are, with all kinds of etiquette happening one after another.
Immediately afterwards, Xiaochan helped Situ Qianxue out of the boudoir, and was guided by the officiant to say goodbye to her parents.
However, neither of her parents came, so Situ Changshan and Situ Qianfeng took their place.
After saying goodbye, Situ Qianfeng picked up the red hijab for Situ Qianxue.
"Little sister, you are my best sister at all times." Situ Qianfeng said emotionally.
"Um!"
In contrast, Situ Qianxue was much calmer. She just didn't dare to look at Qin Wei, maybe because of shyness.
What Qin Wei saw was the bride who had already put on a hijab and was being supported by a maid, walking towards him.
This feeling is quite strange. In his previous life, he was not married until he was nearly thirty years old, but now he is actually getting married in this world. Qin Wei thought of the past life again for no reason, and he was filled with emotions for a while.
Leading the bride out of the manor gate amid the commotion of onlookers, Qin Wei got on his horse and Situ Qianxue got into the wedding sedan.
The rituals and music were performed, and the team set off.
Keep walking north along the street, and there are people watching the excitement on both sides of the street.
"That's Prince Rui!"
"Wow, so many jewels!"
"I don't know whose girl is so lucky to marry His Highness the Prince!"
"..."
Congratulations and exclamations kept coming from the crowd. Ordinary people didn't know the background and origin of the bride, Situ Qianxue. They might think that the bride was from Danlian City.
Qin Wei rode his horse and kept raising his hands to both sides of the street, and bursts of cheers and applause sounded again.
Although he lived in Danlian Mansion for a long time, he rarely went out and had no contact with the people of Danlian Mansion.
But today is his wedding, and the whole city should celebrate it. The other courtyard has prepared a lot of wedding money, which will be distributed to the people of the whole city.
At this time, Qin Wei was wearing bright yellow casual clothes and a Jiuyi prince crown on his head. In this outfit, and with a tall horse on his hips, he could be described as heroic and energetic, which made many girls on the street feel excited.
Under the watch of a dark crowd, the wedding team finally arrived outside the courtyard where Qin Wei lived.
The streets on the west side of the courtyard were filled with tables of open-air banquets, where the people in the city could eat openly.
In order to make the people of Danlian Mansion happy, Xiao Shunzi hired all the chefs in Danlian Mansion today, spending tens of thousands of taels of silver on the ingredients alone.
"Miss, we're here!" Xiaochan reminded beside the wedding sedan.
Then Situ Qianxue felt the sedan sink. She quickly put her hijab back on and was helped out of the sedan by Xia Chan.
"Miss, slow down, don't step on the ground." Xiaochan said.
Xiao Shunzi quickly directed several servants to spread the bright yellow brocade on the floor.
According to Dali's custom, the bride must step on the brocade. This ceremony is called "passing the mat." Poor families use sacks, rich families use scarlet brocade, and only the royal family can use bright yellow.
Anyway, after the bride leaves her parents' home, her feet should not touch the ground until the wedding.
Then the two newlyweds came to the main room, where the imperial edict issued by Emperor Li was placed on the desk.
Then came the wedding ceremony.
The etiquette was complicated, and Qin Wei was like a puppet on strings, constantly performing rituals under the arrangement of the officials of the clan.
After finally completing all the etiquette, Xiao Shunzi Maliao came over with a weighing rod: "Your Highness, you can take off the hijab."
“As you wish!”
Under the shout of the etiquette officer, Qin Wei slowly lifted Situ Qianxue's red hijab.
As the scale lifts off the hijab, the sound of ritual music begins again.
Qin Wei couldn't help being slightly startled when the hijab was lifted, revealing Situ Qianxue's blushing face.
Very beautiful!
Beauty is beyond compare.
Qin Wei felt lost.
But he reacted quickly. After paying homage, he was sent directly to the bridal chamber.
In the wedding room, red candles were burning.
After another complicated etiquette, the others slowly left, except Xiao Chan.
Qin Wei asked: "What else are you doing here?"
Xia Chan said: "Go back to the prince, I have to serve the prince and the princess to eat."
"No need." Qin Wei felt that this maid was so ignorant.
Xiaochan blinked and looked at Qin Wei, "Then slave, please leave!"
"You should have left long ago!" Qin Wei said.
"Your Majesty, you think this servant is in the way!" Xiaochan pouted and exited the room.
After Xiaochan closed the door, Qin Wei looked at Situ Qianxue.
It seemed a little awkward for the two of them to be alone together. Qin Wei was not a person who liked girls to begin with, otherwise he would not have been single in his past life when he was almost thirty years old.
Suddenly being with a strange woman, he didn't know what to do.
At this time, he didn't have the slightest calmness as before, but instead felt a little more embarrassed.
After a long time, he couldn't help but said: "Are you hungry?"
"A little bit." Situ Qianxue said openly.
Perhaps in her eyes, this is how marriage between a man and a woman should be.
Situ Qianxue stood up and walked to the dining table. The dining table was filled with delicacies. She served Qin Wei a bowl of rice, held it between her eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, please have a meal."
Qin Wei saw Situ Qianxue's dignified and generous look, and suddenly felt that he seemed a little pretentious, so he took the job with a chuckle and said with a smile: "From today on, you are husband and wife to me, there is no need to be so polite."
"Yeah." Situ Qianxue responded.
Although she acted politely and generously, she had actually been observing Qin Wei's reaction.
Seeing Qin Wei say this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the eldest lady of Beiyuan City married a royal prince, it was not a high-profile goal, but royal etiquette was complicated, and she was afraid that she would do something wrong and make Qin Wei angry.
After a busy day, both of them were hungry and started to eat.
Although the two are still unfamiliar with each other, the awkwardness between them has dissipated a lot.
Situ Qianxue also poured some wine for Qin Wei, and Qin Wei rarely had a few drinks.
With the beauty by their side, they were still legally married. After a few drinks, Qin Wei became dishonest.
"Ah, Your Majesty, please don't touch me!"
"I didn't touch her randomly. I just wanted to check the princess's body."
"Your Majesty, blow out the candles!"
"The people in the Zongren Mansion said that red candles cannot be blown out."
"Then put down the tent."
This night there was a spring breeze and drizzle.
This night everything comes to life.
…
After a happy night, Qin Wei slept until he woke up naturally the next morning.
He sat up from the bed, twisted his waist and grinned.
This world is good, you can cultivate, and you have a good waist!
After working hard for most of the night, I didn't feel tired at all.
So refreshing!
"Your Majesty!"
Situ Qianxue opened her eyes drowsily, "I serve the prince and dress him."
Her lazy look made Qin Wei feel itchy.
However, thinking that Situ Qianxue was still new to human affairs, Qin Wei finally held back.
"You should sleep a little longer and have a good rest." Qin Wei patted her shoulder.
This is what happens between men and women. Yesterday they seemed very strange, but today they are like glue.
Qin Wei got up from the bed and put on white underwear.
And just when he got up, there was a knock on the door.
"Your Highness!"
"Come in!" Qin Wei said softly.
Then Yuqing and Yuling walked into the room one after another to help Qin Wei dress, and Xiaochan also came in.
She secretly glanced at Situ Qianxue, who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, blinked her big eyes a few times, and showed a happy smile on her face.
After putting on his clothes, Qin Wei said to Xiaochan: "Let the princess rest for a while, and there is no need to pay attention to other common etiquette."
After the wedding, there were still many things to do, but Qin Wei was really too lazy to bother with it and didn't want Situ Qianxue to be tired, so he planned to throw away all the complicated etiquette.
As for whether the officials of the Zongren Mansion will agree, that is not something Qin Wei needs to consider.
"My slave, I obey!" Xiaochan responded.
…
On the occasion of Qin Wei's wedding, Zhao Gao quietly passed through Yunzhou with a dozen warriors in the net and came to the territory of the barbarians.
Northern Rong and Southern Barbarians, the people of Dali refer to all people in the south of Dali as barbarians. In fact, the barbarians are no different from the people of Dali.
The three barbarian forces close to the border of Dali are also called the three barbarian kingdoms, namely the Sanmiao King's Court, the Haili King's Court and the Yuwu King's Court.
Among them, the Royal Court of Sanmiao is located due south of Yunzhou, the Royal Court of Haili is located to the southwest of Yuanzhou, and the Royal Court of Yuwu is located between the two.
Among these three royal courts, the Sanmiao Royal Court and the Haili Royal Court are vassals of Dali and pay tribute to Dali every year. Although secretly they are full of hostility towards Dali, at least on the surface they make Dali the supreme king.
country.
Only the Feather Witch Royal Court did not succumb to Dali's power, and even provoked Dali several times.
Dali deployed 200,000 troops in Nanyang City and the main enemy in Nanmu City was the Feather Witch King's Court.
And Zhao Gao's goal is the Feather Witch King's Court.
Within the Feather Witch King's Court, clans are the mainstay. Large clans live in cities, while smaller clans live in villages.
The larger the clan, the higher its status in the royal court. The king of the Feather Witch Royal Court is not inherited in the form of a family, but is held by the patriarch of a powerful clan.
The Feather Witch Royal Court has four major branches, namely, the four tribes of Black Feather, White Feather, Red Feather and Qingyu. The reason why they are named Yu is because the tribes of the Feather Witch Royal Court like to put bird feathers on their heads.
, just by looking at the color and size of the feathers on their heads, you can know which tribe they are from and what status they hold in the tribe.
Today, the Feather Witch King is the leader of the Black Feather Clan. The Black Feather Clan has occupied the Feather Witch Throne for more than thirty years. Up to now, almost no one in the entire Feather Witch Royal Court can challenge their position.
And in the next few decades, I am afraid that no other tribe will be able to challenge their status. This shows how powerful the Black Feather tribe is.
Zhao Gao set his target on the Feather Witch Royal Court, firstly because the Feather Witch Royal Court and Dali were in a hostile relationship, and secondly because of the many conflicts within the Feather Witch Royal Court.
He likes to stir up fights among forces in complex situations.
This time he not only wanted to help Qin Wei capture the ninth-grade warrior, but also planned to do something big in the Feather Witch King's Court.
To the north of the Feather Witch King's Court, in a vast deep mountain, Zhao Gao was wearing a dark red robe, standing on a high mountain peak, overlooking the vast mountain forest below.
"Sir, everything is ready!"
A warrior in gray uniform came behind him, bowed and said.
Now there are hundreds of warriors in Luowang. It is divided into two parts. One part is responsible for collecting intelligence and was established based on the internal structure of the Imperial City Division. There are currently about two hundred people, including some spies from the Imperial City Division. They are sent by Wang An.
Give the hand of the snare.
The other part is composed of eight levels of killers, including heavenly killers, demons and demons. Currently, there are more than a hundred killers in the net, and their cultivation levels are all above level seven. However, Zhao Gao places all of these killers at the level of demons, demons and demons.
The Qipin were not weak in the folk world, but in Zhao Gao's eyes, they were just a group of handymen.
The heaven-level killer in Zhao Gao's heart must at least have innate cultivation.
On the top of the peak, Zhao Gao nodded slightly, then turned around and walked down the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, there is a wide mountain flat. This flat is Zhao Gao's temporary residence. Perhaps he will build it into a stronghold for the snare in the future.
At this time, four or five wooden houses had been built on the mountain flat for them to live here.
After having a station, Zhao Gao began to think about how to start.
At present, they don't know enough about the Feather Witch King's Court, they only know some superficial information.
But that doesn't matter, they can arrest people and get the information they want from some of the clan's senior leaders.
At night, Zhao Gao Gao was sitting in the wooden house with an expressionless face and an extremely cold sparkle in his eyes.
The dim and flickering candlelight reflected the coldness even more intensely.
It's as if there is a devouring evil ghost hidden in this wooden house, which makes people shudder.
