I heard the King of Zhenbei say that Dugu Nianxue was unwell and it was inconvenient to see guests.
Everyone's expressions changed, and they all had thoughts in their hearts.
After all, nine years ago, the second daughter of the Dugu family made a big fuss in the Dugu Mansion, broke with the family, and left the imperial capital, which caused a huge stir at the time.
Everyone present had heard about it, and among them Dugu Lingyun had experienced this personally. He was also full of doubts about his sister actually agreeing to marry the King of Zhenbei this time.
However, the matter has come to an end. His Majesty the Emperor has decreed that the whole world will celebrate together and even personally witness the marriage of the two.
All this seems to be just a special reward for two "important ministers of the country", but it is naturally clear which one of you is not a human being.
His Majesty the Emperor's move was actually to ease the conflict with King Zhenbei, and even took the opportunity to completely win over the other party to strengthen the power of the Qianlan Empire.
This matter is no longer a simple marriage. Even if something is fishy, it cannot be undone at all.
At that moment, Shangguan Qingfeng smiled and said: "Haha... It doesn't matter. When a man and a woman get married, they just follow the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker.
Nowadays, the etiquette is complete, and His Majesty personally acts as a matchmaker for the prince and Miss Dugu. The two of them are a match made in heaven. Why bother about these trivial matters. "
All the guests in the garden also nodded and agreed.
Immediately, Shangguan Qingfeng looked at Dugu Lingyun again and said: "General Dugu, on this good occasion, why don't the general sign a "dragon and phoenix tie" with the prince to finalize the marriage of the two families? It won't be too late for us to raise a toast to celebrate together. .”
Weddings in the Qianlan Empire, especially those of the aristocratic class, pay great attention to etiquette, and "three books and six etiquette" are indispensable.
Now the two families have reached the most important stage of "engagement and betrothal". The betrothal gift has already been sent to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion by the Zhenbei King.
Nowadays, you only need to write a wedding letter with the birthdays of the couple and a drop of the blood of the two couples, also known as the "dragon and phoenix tie", and the ceremony can be completed.
Once the dragon and phoenix tie is signed, it is like signing a contract, confirming the identity of two people as husband and wife, and the wedding can be held on an auspicious day.
Dugu Lingyun hesitated for a moment, then took out a red and gold-lacquered dragon and phoenix calligraphy from the storage ring, writing the birthdays of King Zhenbei and Dugu Nianxue.
Because Dugu Nianxue was not present, the maid from the palace took the calligraphy and sent it to the "Star Watching Tower".
When the dragon and phoenix letter was delivered to Dugu Nianxue, Dugu Nianxue was wearing plain clothes and sitting cross-legged on a futon.
At this moment, no trace of fluctuation could be seen on her naked but stunning face, and her whole person seemed to have no soul.
Looking at the Zhennan King's seal at the corner of the dragon and phoenix sticker in his hand, Dugu Nianxue's eyes flashed for a few times, and then a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
She made a casual stroke, and a drop of blood emitting a faint red light floated in front of her.
The moment before the essence and blood dripped, Dugu Nianxue finally hesitated, recalling the man's voice and smile again in his mind, and recalled the way he drunkenly sang wildly under the moonlight on Tiannan Peak that night.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she knew that she would never have a chance to meet him again.
With a sigh, the essence and blood dripped on the dragon and phoenix tie, and immediately blended into it.
The maid respectfully took the dragon and phoenix calligraphy, returned to the garden again, and presented the calligraphy and calligraphy to King Zhenbei with both hands.
"Your Majesty, the princess has completed the blood-dropping ceremony."
Everyone smiled when they saw the dragon and phoenix post that exuded a faint red glow. As long as Hu Yanzhan dripped a drop of his own blood into it, the marriage relationship between the two families would be confirmed.
King Zhenbei glanced at the Dragon and Phoenix Tie, then his eyes flashed, and a drop of blood flew out from between his eyebrows.
"Buzz...!"
This drop of essence and blood was suspended in front of King Zhenbei, and it turned out to be a strange "red gold" color. Moreover, a terrifying energy emitted from the essence and blood, causing the surrounding void to surge like a tide.
A huge power was released from the essence and blood, causing many moon-level experts present to feel a huge pressure coming, making them tremble.
A drop of blood essence is so powerful!
Fortunately, King Zhenbei waved his sleeves, and an invisible barrier appeared in the void, instantly blocking the energy in the essence and blood within a small area.
At this moment, Zhang Dingnan, who was sitting at the table with the King of Zhenbei, stared at this drop of blood essence, his eyes also filled with light.
Shangguan Qingfeng, Ying Wang, Dugu Lingyun and others all looked surprised.
As early as nine years ago, the King of Zhenbei was a first-class strong man in the world. Now his cultivation has obviously reached a higher level and become more terrifying.
After the shock, Shangguan Qingfeng smiled again and said: "Your Majesty, with this drop of essence and blood, the Zhenbei Palace and the Zhennan Palace will become real in-laws. I wish the Prince and the Princess a long life together, playing the harp and harp in harmony!"
When the King of Zhenbei heard this, a smile appeared on his face. Immediately, he pulled the drop of essence and blood towards the dragon and phoenix tie, and saw that the engagement ceremony was finally completed at this moment.
Suddenly, in the void to the west of Zhenbei Palace, a harsh sound broke through the sky, accompanied by a loud shout.
"Wait!"
This loud shout instantly shocked the entire guests in the palace, and everyone looked into the void in astonishment.
Today is the engagement day of King Zhenbei. Who dares to be so bold and shout from high in the sky.
As everyone looked up, they saw a black light flying very fast in the western sky, directly heading towards the Zhenbei Palace.
However, before Dunguang could rush into the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, there were loud shouts coming from the mountain peak.
"Bold, whoever dares to make a noise in the Zhenbei Palace must stop immediately!"
But the black light not only didn't stop, but its speed became even more alarming, rushing directly into the Zhenbei Palace within several hundred feet.
"presumptuous!"
Cold shouts were heard everywhere, and from all sides of the Zhenbei Palace, attacks composed of huge spiritual powers shot up into the sky.
These offensives are like gorgeous "fireworks", but they carry a terrifying power of destruction, and there are even many auras of moon-level power in them.
The tide-like offensive rushed into the void like a giant wave, crushing directly towards the escaping light. The situation was extremely critical.
However, at this moment, among the four people sitting at the same table with King Zhenbei in the garden.
Zhang Dingnan and Prince Ying suddenly shrank their pupils and looked shocked as they looked at the escaping light that was about to be swallowed up.
The next moment, Zhang Dingnan raised his hand, and a vast spiritual power surged out, like a "Hong Kong Bridge" descending from the sky, directly covering the escaping light in the void from the ground.
And the tidal wave of offensive that filled the sky, attacked on the Hongqiao, and erupted with a loud noise, but it was unable to cause a single wave.
The escaping light led along the Hongqiao, and in a moment, escaped into the other garden.
The person who came was a handsome young man with black bricks on his feet, smart clothes and a dusty look on his face.
When the young man entered Bieyuan, figures suddenly flashed around Bieyuan.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!"
A group of powerful palace guards wearing black armor instantly surrounded the entire villa.
When these soldiers gathered, a strong and extremely ferocious aura shrouded them, which actually made many brave generals in the garden feel chills down their spines. It was obvious that these guards were by no means ordinary soldiers.
But Zhang Dingnan turned a blind eye to this and stood up to greet the young man with a surprised smile on his face.
"Brother Xian, why are you here?"
On the other side, King Ying also jumped up excitedly, stepped forward and pulled the young man's sleeve affectionately and said: "Brother Han, why are you here? I miss you so much!"
The performance of Zhang Dingnan and Prince Ying made many officials in the other courtyards and even Shangguan Qingfeng and Dugu Lingyun look surprised.
You know, there are only a few people in the world who can make the Marshal and His Highness the Prince stand up to greet them at the same time. I am afraid that even if His Highness the Prince comes, he will not have the honor at all.
But the young man in front of him looked very strange, and his cultivation level didn't seem to be very high. What kind of identity did he have that could actually be "brothers and brothers" with King Ying and Zhang Shuai, and look so affectionate.
Seeing this, King Zhenbei's eyes flashed slightly, and the drop of essence and blood in front of him was suddenly withdrawn. He glanced at the guards in the other garden and shouted softly.
"Back off."
After receiving the order, the guards quickly evacuated the garden without a sound.
Immediately, King Zhenbei stood up and walked towards Zhang Dingnan and King Ying, but his eyes fell on the young man opposite them.
At this moment, the young man's eyes were looking towards him.
The two looked at each other. The King of Zhenbei had a high level of cultivation. He was a "king" who had emerged from the bloody storm. His eyes had an aura of king that no one else dared to look directly at.
And the young man's gaze, although not regal, had a "killing aura" that was as sharp as a spear and wanted to tear everything apart.
The moment the two of them looked at each other, their eyes were locked in each other's eyes, and both of them were slightly shocked.
The King of Zhenbei couldn't help but said in surprise: "His Royal Highness King Ying, Zhang Shuai, I wonder who this little brother is?"
