The sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar was a great day.
On this day, the weather was clear, the wind was gentle, and the sun was bright.
This day was also Lin Fan and Princess Hua Shao's big day.
The empire's Princess Hua Shao was getting married. The world was in an uproar and everyone was celebrating!
Of course, some people were happy and some were sad.
Princess Hua Shao was getting married. The men who had fantasized about Princess Hua Shao were all dejected. Some people paid a lot of money to take Lin Fan's life, but they couldn't hire a killer.
Because in such a big country.
Not many people could kill Lin Fan, and those who could kill Lin Fan were all cultivators above the Immortal Realm. People at this level were all mysterious experts, so how could they be killers?!
Seeing that the beautiful Princess Hua Shao was getting married and was going to become Lin Fan's woman, those men who were infatuated with her directly jumped off a building and committed suicide. In any case, it was quite a big deal and caused quite a stir.
Of course, these were all trivial matters to the empire. Not to mention a few people committing suicide, even if a thousand people committed suicide, it wouldn't cause too much of a stir. The country would also ignore it.
On this day, the entire Yellow Dragon Empire was filled with a festive atmosphere. Inside and outside Dragon City, ribbons were hung high, fireworks were lit, and every household was setting off firecrackers. The newly built Prince Consort's Mansion was filled with the word "Happy".
Early in the morning, Lin Fan changed into a groom's outfit and rode a tall dragon horse, pulling a large immortal carriage.
The dragon horse was an existence even stronger than spirit beasts. It was very powerful and was a beast used by the royal family. It was docile and was specially used to pull carriages.
This large immortal carriage was specially used by the royal family when they married their daughters.
It was decorated with a large "Happy" character made of red jade talismans. It was very beautiful, festive, and had a lot of defensive power.
If there was an assassin at this time.
With this immortal carriage, there would be no danger at all.
The large ceremonial team followed behind, blowing the suona loudly.
The gongs and drums sounded together, and the firecrackers sounded non-stop.
The noise was loud and clear.
Riding on the dragon horse, Lin Fan was flushed with success and complacency. What did it mean to be flushed with success and gallop?
This was it!
On both sides of the street, there were crowds of people. Everyone cupped their hands towards Lin Fan to express their congratulations. Of course, there were also men who looked at him with envy and jealousy.
There were also women who looked dejected.
At this time, Lin Fan had completely become a man that men admired and women were disappointed in.
Lin Fan didn't care about these. Of course, he didn't care about ordinary women. He was already used to men's jealousy.
Only a mediocre person would not be envied by others. He did not want to be a mediocre person.
According to the wedding customs, the flood dragon horse pulled the immortal carriage from the Prince Consort's residence to the imperial palace to welcome Princess Hua Shao. The journey was orderly.
Lin Fan arrived at the Imperial Palace, pleased with his success.
He went straight to Princess Hua Shao's room. Princess Hua Shao's residence was Hua Shao Palace.
Hua Shao Palace was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, and the word "Xi" was pasted all over the courtyard.
A scarlet carpet was spread from the entrance of Hua Shao Palace all the way to the hall. The walls of the courtyard were hung with colorful decorations, and everywhere was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Princess Hua Shao sat in front of the dressing mirror in her room. Two servant girls were busy serving her. Lian Ji sat on a soft couch, looking at her daughter. The mother and daughter were talking about intimate things.
Princess Hua Shao had already put on a red wedding dress, and her makeup was exquisite.
Her hair was high, and her pretty face was flushed.
At this time, she had a noble and beautiful face.
Set off by the red wedding dress, it was obvious that her beauty was unparalleled. Her face was filled with joy and happiness.
Lian Ji was marrying off her daughter, so she was also wearing new makeup today. She deliberately dressed up and tied her hair into an exquisite bun. Her cheeks were as white as snow, and her red lips were slightly dimpled. She was smiling happily, and her face was filled with happiness and joy.
When a woman reached a certain level of beauty, she couldn't dress up. Once she dressed up, she would be a disaster to men's eyes. Especially men with bad hearts, they would be fatally threatened.
When Lin Fan opened the door, the first thing that entered his eyes was Lian Ji. Seeing Lian Ji's new clothes and exquisite makeup, Lin Fan's heart thumped loudly again.
As the saying goes, heroes have a weakness for beauties. Whether Lin Fan was a hero or not, he just couldn't pass Lian Ji's test. Every time he saw her, his heart would tremble and itch.
His gaze didn't dare to stay on Lian Ji for too long. Lin Fan's gaze turned to Princess Hua Shao. After seeing Princess Hua Shao, Lin Fan was also stunned. The world famous Princess Hua Shao indeed had a different flavor after wearing a wedding dress. No wonder those men were so jealous of him that they vomited blood. If the one marrying Princess Hua Shao today wasn't him, Lin Fan, but someone else, then.
Lin Fan would definitely take that person's life.
"Lin Fan, why did you come in?
You can't come in your room! "
Without waiting for Lin Fan to walk towards Princess Hua Shao, Lian Ji stood up and walked over to stop Lin Fan. According to the marriage customs of the royal family, the groom couldn't enter the bride's former boudoir on this day.
There was nothing wrong with stopping him.
But when things went wrong, because Lin Fan walked a little too quickly and Lian Ji also blocked him a little too quickly, the two people's bodies bumped into each other.
It wasn't that Lin Fan hadn't seen a woman before, but Lian Ji was just too beautiful.
This was also the reason why men wanted to find a beautiful woman to marry.
Find a beautiful wife and you'll be happy in the future. Happy every night.
Find an ugly woman as a wife.
There was no happiness to speak of.
It didn't matter if they bumped into each other, but the key point was that the relationship between the two of them was too subtle. Lian Ji was about to become Lin Fan's mother-in-law. If the son-in-law and mother-in-law bumped into each other, then it would be awkward. A layer of blush appeared on Lian Ji's beautiful face.
Thus, that beautiful face was like a hibiscus flower sprinkled with a layer of bright sunlight. It was white with a little red, so beautiful that it couldn't be any more beautiful. It was so beautiful that it made people's hearts tremble, it made people's souls tremble, it made people unable to extricate themselves …
In any case, at this time, Lin Fan's eyes were fixed on her face, and he couldn't look away.
"Hurry up and get out. It's not good to break the rules!"
When Lian Ji saw Lin Fan staring at her fiercely, she felt a little embarrassed and angry in her heart. Thus, she went forward and pushed him out of the door.
"Mother, why did you kick him out?"
Princess Hua Shao asked in confusion. A woman would dress up for her lover. She had just put on a new makeup, so she naturally wanted to let Lin Fan admire her.
"Child, this is the rule. Anyone can come in, but Lin Fan can't. You can only meet him when the time comes." Lian Ji was slightly absent-minded, but she still said seriously.
"It's just some red tape." Hua Shao said with slight disdain.
"There are no rules. If a country doesn't have any rules, then wouldn't it be a mess?"
Lian Ji said intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, she was talking about Lin Fan. Lin Fan had stared at her fiercely just now, which was obviously a mess of etiquette.
How audacious! How audacious!
Lin Fan stood outside the door, his mind filled with Lian Ji's blushing face. He muttered as if he had lost his soul, "Too beautiful, simply too beautiful!"
To be honest, Lin Fan had seen all kinds of women. What kind of woman had he not seen before, but this woman was too much of a scourge. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was devastatingly beautiful. In any case, Lin Fan, the groom, was ruined by his mother-in-law today. He directly ignored the bride, Princess Hua Shao, and his brain was filled with Lian Ji's shadow.
After a long time, he finally drove Lian Ji's shadow out of his mind and replaced it with Princess Hua Shao.
Princess Hua Shao's beauty was not inferior to her mother's, but compared to Lian Ji, she always lacked the taste of a mature woman, as well as the charm and enchanting of a young man.
… ….
The auspicious hour had arrived, and the gongs and drums announced the heavens.
Firecrackers sounded in unison.
The door of Princess Hua Shao's boudoir opened again. Princess Hua Shao sat on a chair and was directly lifted out of the room by two servants.
It was said that the bride could not get off the ground before leaving the house and getting on the sedan chair. Princess Hua Shao, who was carried out, was already covered with a red veil.
Her festive red makeup was especially dazzling.
Lin Fan caught her at the door and directly carried Princess Hua Shao horizontally. Then, he walked to the immortal carriage on the flood dragon carriage.
The immortal carriage looked like a sedan chair. It was covered with jade talismans and auspicious characters. The flowers looked very beautiful.
Getting married in an immortal carriage was not a treatment that every woman could enjoy. Usually, women would get married in a sedan chair. When had they ever sat in an immortal carriage?
Only a child of the royal family like Princess Hua Shao had this right. Moreover, even if she was a child of the royal family.
There was also a difference in treatment. The specifications and grade of the immortal carriage were also different.
Princess Hua Shao's mother, Lian Ji, was the empress.
The immortal carriage that Princess Hua Shao rode when she got married was naturally of the highest grade.
Lian Ji stood at the window of the room.
She watched as Lin Fan carried Princess Hua Shao and put her on the immortal carriage. She was happy, excited, and sad. Two drops of tears fell from her beautiful eyes.
The flood dragon horse pulled the immortal carriage all the way out of the imperial palace. As soon as they arrived outside, there was a boom.
A large number of people poured out to watch the show.
The marriage of Princess Hua Shao was such a big event. Naturally, there were many people watching the show.
However, most people still wanted to see Princess Hua Shao's beautiful face. Or rather, they wanted to see how stunning the princess of the empire looked when she wore a red wedding dress. Unfortunately, Princess Hua Shao, who was hidden in the immortal carriage, could not satisfy their wishes.
Lin Fan rode a flood dragon horse and pulled the immortal carriage.
He pulled the bride, his face flushed red as he proudly walked towards the Prince Consort's Residence.
Along the way, there were people constantly praising and congratulating him.
There were even more people blocking the entrance of the Prince Consort's Residence. They were all citizens of Dragon City who had come to send congratulatory gifts. The civil and military officials also came, but they were all invited into the Prince Consort's Residence.
The generals of Liujing Village were also invited. Lin Fan was warmly entertained. To Lin Fan, those civil and military officials were not as good as his generals.
Therefore, Lin Fan could not be bothered with any of the civil and military officials.
The auspicious hour had arrived.
Lin Fan and Princess Hua Shao bowed to heaven and earth in the main hall.
After bowing to heaven and earth.
Lin Fan saw that there were many guests standing outside the hall.
They all stretched their necks as long as geese and stared intently at the bride, Princess Hua Shao. Their faces were the same as before, filled with anticipation and unconcealable jealousy.
It was obvious that they all wanted to see the beauty of Princess Hua Shao's bride.
Lin Fan did not want to keep a low profile at this moment, so he smiled playfully and turned Princess Hua Shao's body around to face the outside of the hall. Then, he stretched out his right hand and tore off the red veil on her head.
A stunning and peerless face appeared!
Wow!
Men, women, children, and everyone exclaimed in unison. Then, everyone's gazes were fixed!
Everyone was petrified!
The bride, Princess Hua Shao, was a national beauty with peerless beauty. She wore new makeup and was more beautiful than peach blossoms. Her temperament was extraordinary, and she was charming and beautiful.
What kind of luck was this!
In this life, what more could a man ask for?
Just as everyone was stunned and all the men were envious and jealous, Lin Fan was so jealous that he laughed proudly and said, "Alright, everyone, let's go drink the wedding wine!"
All the men's faces were filled with wry smiles and strange expressions. How could they still be in the mood to drink the wedding wine? Their stomachs had long been filled with jealousy.
However, although everyone was jealous in their hearts, they did not dare to show it, nor did they dare to act recklessly. Unless they did not want to live anymore!
Therefore, at this time, everyone could only praise the bride for her beauty and praise Lin Fan for his good fortune.
Then, everyone left the hall to attend the wedding banquet.
Princess Hua Shao thought that Lin Fan had actually taken off the red veil. At this time, she was embarrassed and embarrassed. However, women liked to hear praise the most, so Princess Hua Shao was not angry at this time. Her beautiful face was as beautiful as a peach blossom.
"Alright, send her to the bridal chamber."
Lin Fan instructed, then put the red veil on Princess Hua Shao's head and handed it over to the servant maids, telling them to send her to the bridal chamber.
Princess Hua Shao was sent to a large bridal chamber.
Inside the bridal chamber, there were lanterns and colored banners. The word 'happiness' was pasted on the window and the red candles shone brightly.
It was a festive scene.
No matter how anxious Lin Fan was, he could not directly go to the bridal chamber to be intimate with Hua Shao. After toasting for a round of wine, Lin Fan realized that the dragon sons had also come.
However, they had learned their lesson at the Teacher Academy, so none of the princes dared to put on airs.
Lin Fan did not toast them either.
Naturally, he still had to deal with the civil and military officials. Lin Fan carried the wine and walked through the motions, then went to toast his brothers. Cheng Jin and the other elite disciples of the Five Spirits Sect, as well as those generals, Lin Fan still relied on them to contribute to him in the future.
Therefore, he took this opportunity to have a good drink.
On this day, Lin Fan did not use his spirit qi to dissolve the alcohol. He drank until he was half drunk, and before the guests left, he ran to the bridal chamber in a hurry.
In the bridal chamber, the candles were burning.
The room was filled with red light.
Princess Hua Shao sat on the bed in the bridal chamber, looking very quiet.
Lin Fan walked up and removed the veil.
Princess Hua Shao lowered her head shyly, her face rippling with happiness. She raised her head and glared at Lin Fan, only to see him staring at her like a hungry man who had seen a chicken thigh. "Hey, why are you looking at me like that?"
"I want to eat!"
… ….
Lin Fan's actions at the wedding banquet aroused the dissatisfaction of the officials. They thought that Lin Fan did not drink with them, but deliberately got close to some low-level soldiers. He was deliberately neglecting them. They were very angry, but they did not dare to express it in front of them. They muttered in secret.
Because of this, in the morning court a few days after the banquet, they spared no effort to pick on Lin Fan in front of Huang Ce. They told him that Lin Fan was arrogant because of his achievements, had an army, and did not take his colleagues seriously. They also hinted to Huang Ce that such a person should not be entrusted with important tasks.
They had to find a way to weaken his military power.
To prevent future troubles.
Just as Huang Ce was in a dilemma, Qiu Ji brought up the previous strategy again. Huang Ce originally wanted to give his daughter some time to go on a honeymoon and delay for a few days before letting Lin Fan take command of the army to clear out the rogue cultivators. He did not expect that Lin Fan would anger the public. If he did not carry out the plan early, there would be no peace in the court.
Therefore, on this day.
Lin Fan, who was on his honeymoon with Princess Hua Shao, was summoned to the palace to listen to the announcement. Huang Ce decisively gave the order to let Lin Fan take command of the army to clear out rogue cultivators in the territory of the rogue cultivators.
The difference between rogue cultivators and cultivators was that cultivators were orthodox in the world. They were a large group of people who were organized and disciplined. On the other hand, half of the rogue cultivators did not belong to any organization or group. They usually did things freely and unrestrainedly. When they cultivated, they could not compare to orthodox cultivators. They had organized and fixed pill supplies, so they could easily break through the barriers and bottlenecks in their cultivation without any protection or benefits.
They could only rely on themselves and take risks.
They killed people for their treasures and killed orthodox cultivators.
Between rogue cultivators and orthodox cultivators.
There was a huge grudge between them. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were incompatible like fire and water.
In short, if they did not agree, they would fight to the death.
In short, rogue cultivators were the opposite of orthodox cultivators. Orthodox cultivators occupied the court, sects, cities, and other territories. Rogue cultivators rarely formed organizations or groups. However, rogue cultivators' forces were scattered.
If they were united, they would definitely not be weak.
In recent years, rogue cultivators had also united and developed their forces. They gradually grew stronger and posed a great threat to the court.
This was also the purpose of Huang Ce's attack on rogue cultivators.
Lin Fan was not too surprised when he received the announcement. As the Grand Marshal of the army, he naturally had the responsibility and obligation to serve the country.
However, when he heard the words "rogue cultivators", his thoughts flowed back like the tide. He suddenly thought of the doctor beggar Jin Futu and his daughter Jin Qiaoqiao.
Speaking of which.
Jin Futu had done him a favor. He had to thank Jin Futu. Therefore, when he heard that they were going to clear out rogue cultivators.
He also had a certain degree of psychological repulsion.
Because the father and daughter of the Jin family were rogue cultivators.
However, Lin Fan did not refuse because of the awkwardness in his heart.
Personal grudges and emotions could not be attached to national affairs.
Speaking of which, Lin Fan was still a Xianxia. A great hero, for the country and the people. Lin Fan was wholeheartedly thinking for the country and the people.
On this day, when he returned to the Prince Consort's residence, Lin Fan told Princess Hua Shao about the expedition. Princess Hua Shao was very disappointed. They were newlyweds, but Lin Fan was going to go to war. This inevitably made people sad.
"Lin Fan, I can't bear to let you go.
I'll tell Imperial Father to take back the order. "Princess Hua Shao was about to get up and go to the Imperial Palace to meet the Emperor.
Lin Fan grabbed her and said, "Hua Shao, national affairs cannot be trifled with. If you say this, the Emperor will definitely think that it was my idea. When the time comes, things will turn out the opposite way."
Princess Hua Shao thought about it and agreed. After all, the imperial family was not an ordinary family. Nothing could be trifled with.
Princess Hua Shao said emotionally, "Lin Fan, don't worry. If you go to war, I will follow you. No matter where you go, I will follow …"
Princess Hua Shao decided to follow Lin Fan to war, but she was stopped by Huang Ce.
Huang Ce first considered his daughter's safety. Then, he considered that if Princess Hua Shao stayed in the palace, Lin Fan would be concerned about the palace and he would spare no effort to contribute to the country.
Lin Fan also refused to let Princess Hua Shao follow him because it was too dangerous. Princess Hua Shao would also be in his way.
Before a woman was married, she was ordered by her father. After marriage, she was ordered by her husband. Now that her father and husband did not agree, Princess Hua Shao could only accept it silently.
