Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Chapter 145: An Imperial Envoy Shows Up at the Wedding

In the National Treasure City of Nanliang, the Crown Prince is personally supervising and forcing Lu Xunhuan to hold a wedding.

Last week, the Sixth Prince of the Qingfeng faction came to visit.

He looked at Elder Zhu and said with some dissatisfaction, "You came back, but you didn't even go to Kyoto City to report to me. Why is that? Are you giving up?"

Elder Zhu sighed, "Your Highness, my brother was killed, and the Sect Master is furious. He has forbidden me from leaving the mountain again. Please understand, Your Highness."

The Sixth Prince paced back and forth: "What exactly is the situation? Tell me first."

Elder Zhu said, "We have confirmed that after Lu Xunhuan went to Southern Liang, he changed his name. He is now called Lu Suifeng and serves as the governor of Baocheng."

"He's carrying out reforms and pushing new policies over there, and they're going strong. To protect him, the Southern Liang Kingdom has arranged for a master guard to be by his side. That master is one of the best in the Southern Liang Kingdom. My senior brother and I are not as strong as him."

The Sixth Prince asked, "Can't the two of you defeat him alone?"

Elder Zhu said, "No, if we had joined forces to siege him, we would have been able to destroy the Southern Liang expert. But just when we were about to succeed, another expert appeared. After a fierce battle, we gradually fell into a disadvantage. If we didn't retreat, we would have died there. My senior brother was unfortunately killed while trying to cover my escape."

The Sixth Prince pondered for a long time before speaking, "Prime Minister Zhang was right. This guy has thrived since going to Southern Liang. According to Your Majesty, he's doing an excellent job as an undercover agent."

He changed the subject and said, "But that is not what this prince means. This prince hopes to use him to lure out the remnants of the Wang Tingsi. The day when the remnants of the Wang Tingsi are wiped out will be the day when Lu Xunhuan's life ends."

Elder Zhu said, "The Sect Master has forbidden me from leaving the mountain. I am unable to assist you. I beg Your Highness to forgive me."

The Sixth Prince pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll have to make other arrangements. Your brother sacrificed himself to help me, and I feel deeply sorry for him."

He took out a silver note of one hundred thousand taels and handed it to Elder Zhu: "Please pass it to the headmaster on my behalf as an apology."

After leaving Qingfeng Sect, the Sixth Prince was lost in thought all the way. How should he arrange things so as to successfully lure out the rest of the Wangting Division members?

In Yingzhou City of Southern Liang Kingdom, in the king's study, His Majesty the King read the report and thought for a while.

"Why does the Crown Prince insist on arranging a marriage for Lu Xunhuan? Isn't that a bit too nosy?"

Minister Yu said, "Perhaps the Crown Prince is being kind because he sees that he's single."

The king shook his head: "Lu Suifeng is a disciple of the sage Liang Jizi. If he can really develop Baocheng, it will prove that he has great talent. Such a talent should be married to the princess. How can it be..."

Minister Yu finally understood His Majesty's intentions and quickly said, "If Your Majesty wants to stop it, you must do it quickly. If you delay, it will be too late."

His Majesty the King pondered for a moment and said, "Mi'er went to Yangshan County and spent a month with Lu Suifeng. After she came back, she praised Lu Suifeng highly. I can see what she was thinking."

He said to Yu Shangshu: "Yu Shangshu, the imperial edict must be sent to Baocheng immediately over a thousand miles."

Minister Yu nodded: "Your Majesty, hurry up, it should still be in time."

In the blink of an eye, the ten-day period set by the prince had arrived.

Xibao Restaurant is very lively.

One hundred tables, one thousand people, all packed.

In Baocheng, officials at all levels of the provincial government and wealthy people from all walks of life were present.

Surrounded by a hundred banquet tables, there was a three-foot-long platform in the middle.

There was a red carpet on the stage, which extended forward to the main entrance.

Outside the gate, the music of the zither and the qin was harmonious.

Opposite the big restaurant, a space was cleared and a group of yamen runners were responsible for setting off firecrackers. At this time, the sound of firecrackers could be heard.

At noon, two bright red sedan chairs passed through the crowd and landed outside the restaurant.

Lu Xunhuan, wearing a strange groom's outfit, was the first to get off the sedan chair.

Then he walked to another sedan chair, lifted the curtain and stretched out his hand.

Zhao Lan, wearing a pure white wedding dress, appeared like a fairy descending to earth.

Outside the hotel, there were huge crowds of people watching the excitement.

Everyone's attention was involuntarily attracted by the wedding dresses of the bride and groom.

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion and noise.

"Wow, Lord Lu's suit looks so smart and handsome..."

"The bride's dress is so beautiful, it's called a wedding dress..."

"I heard it was made by Wangfuji Tailor Shop..."

Wangfuji Tailor Shop has become popular all over the city. It not only makes clothes that people wear on a daily basis, but also launches many styles that people have never seen before.

For example, cheongsam, wedding dress.

The weather in Nanliang is quite hot, so Wangfuji Tailor Shop even offers shorts and short-sleeved clothing.

What's more, they also introduced a new type of belt, called a leather belt, and also introduced new pants to match the leather belt, with a strap designed at the waist.

Things like this are things that ordinary people have never seen before.

Since Lord Lu came, the people of Baocheng have seen so many new things.

With the appearance of the newlyweds, the entire band took to the stage at the entrance of the restaurant, playing loud music and setting off the atmosphere to the utmost.

Inside, the MC received the report and shouted loudly on the stage: "Please welcome the bride and groom."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhao Lan, according to Lu Xunhuan's instructions, gently took his arm, and the two walked side by side on the red carpet into the hotel.

After entering the hotel, there were boys scattering colorful petals into the sky. As the two walked, the petals were scattered all the way.

At this moment, Zhao Lan's eyes were blurred.

Wait until the two of them walked to the bottom of the long stage and stood there.

The emcee called out again, "The elders will accompany the newlyweds to the stage."

Since Lu Xunhuan's parents were not present, Yun Zhongzi took his place and accompanied him to the stage first. He walked to the side of the master of ceremonies amidst the aisle of flowers.

Then, Zhao Lan, accompanied by Zhao Tongpan, slowly walked up to the platform.

She is so beautiful and outstanding, today, she is like a princess.

She slowly walked up to Lu Xunhuan and stopped.

The master of ceremonies said, "Now, please ask the bride's father to hand the bride's hand to the groom."

Judge Zhao took his daughter's hand and slowly placed it into Lu Xunhuan's palm.

At this moment, he was also extremely excited, holding his daughter's hand and trembling.

Zhao Lan called out "Dad" softly, tears already streaming down her face.

After Lu Xunhuan held Zhao Lan's hand, the host asked everyone to line up.

Then, facing Lu Xunhuan, she loudly asked, "Groom, are you willing to honor your marriage vows and love, comfort, respect, and protect her, for richer or poorer, in sickness or in health, in beauty or in fading, in prosperity or adversity?"

Lu Xunhuan answered loudly: "I do."

The master of ceremonies then turned to the bride and asked, "Bride, do you take the bridegroom as your husband and live with him in the sacred covenant of marriage? Whether in sickness or health, for richer or poorer, beautiful or faded, prosperous or unfortunate, are you willing to love him, comfort him, honor him, and protect him?"

Zhao Lan choked up: "I..."

At this moment, someone suddenly flew in from the entrance of the restaurant on a magic weapon and shouted, "Wait..."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on that person.

What, is there anyone else coming to cause trouble?

On the stage, Yun Zhongzi shouted, "Who is it?"

The man landed on the ground and hurriedly ran up to the long platform: "Oh my god, if you two enter the bridal chamber, His Majesty will chop off my head..."

After hearing what he said and looking at his clothes, everyone realized that he was an imperial envoy sent by His Majesty the King.

The imperial envoy ran up to Lu Xunhuan and Zhao Lan, panting, "Excuse me, Lord Lu, excuse me, Miss Zhao, please listen to the imperial decree first."

Lu Xunhuan led everyone to kneel down.

At the banquet, everyone knelt down when they heard the imperial edict.

The imperial envoy pulled out an imperial edict and read, "Lu Suifeng, a disciple of the sage Liang Jizi, is knowledgeable and talented. I admire him greatly and wish to recruit him as a consort to Princess Mier. Before Lu Suifeng and Princess Mier are married, he is not allowed to marry any other woman. This is my decree."

The scene was like a thunderclap, making everyone dizzy.

Judge Zhao rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.

Zhao Lan called out "Dad" and hurried to help.

The Imperial Envoy said, "Zhao Lan, don't help your father yet. Listen to the Imperial Order."

He took out another imperial decree and said, "I consider Zhao Lan's hard work and I grant her to be my concubine. After she marries Princess Mi'er, she may enter the family. I decree this."

Lu Xun Huan nudged Zhao Lan and whispered, "Thank you quickly."

They kowtowed together: "Thank you, Lord, for your grace."

The Imperial Envoy took out another imperial edict and turned to ask, "Where is the Crown Prince?"

The prince looked up from the crowd and said, "Are you blind? Here, read quickly, my knee hurts."

The Imperial Envoy read on, "I heard that the Crown Prince is not doing his job properly in Treasure City, and I am quite angry. I ask the Crown Prince to strictly restrain himself and, apart from supporting Lu Suifeng in developing Treasure City, refrain from interfering in other matters. I hereby decree."

After hearing the imperial edict, Lu Xunhuan pulled Zhao Lan to his feet and said, "Thank you, sir."

Then, facing everyone, he shouted, "Everyone, even though the wedding didn't go through, since everyone is here, we have to eat and drink. Let's continue and have fun."

"it is good……"

Below, everyone cheered in unison.

Lu Xun Huan turned around again, quietly took out a few banknotes, and stuffed them into the Imperial Envoy's pockets: "Sir, you have worked hard. Let's go, let's eat."

He turned around and called out to Zhao Lan: "Lan, when your father wakes up, come over and toast to the adults..."
