Looking at the Emperor Pavilion in front of him, Xiao Chen smiled faintly. To put it bluntly, the Fifth Prince's wedding today was not recognized by the royal family at all. It could be said that it was a farce. However, the fact that the Fifth Prince was willing to go to such lengths for a woman piqued Xiao Chen's interest. He wanted to see what kind of woman could make the Fifth Prince go to such lengths.
"Brother Xiao, please." Just as Xiao Chen was sizing up the Monarch Pavilion, Chu Wuming called out softly.
Chu Wuming was obviously very familiar with the Imperial Pavilion. He had been here many times, but it was Xiao Chen's first time here. As the most luxurious restaurant in the entire Imperial Capital, or even the entire Moonless Empire, the Imperial Pavilion had a great reputation. At the same time, it was indeed extraordinary.
The Monarch Pavilion's main building had nine floors. At the same time, there were more than ten courtyards. As soon as they entered the Monarch Pavilion's main building, they saw a dazzling sight. This kind of decoration was not inferior to the imperial palace.
Chu Wuming did not bring any attendants. As the two of them strode in, a beautiful maid took the initiative to welcome them. Without any introduction, the maid bowed and greeted.
"Your Highness, Third Prince. Greetings to Young Master Xiao."
The maid even knew Xiao Chen's identity. This was the reason why the Monarch Pavilion was so outstanding. As a restaurant, the Monarch Pavilion had a perfect intelligence system. As long as one had a status in the Moonless Empire, the Monarch Pavilion would have a portrait of them. In addition, the Monarch Pavilion's fee was very high. Ordinary people could not afford it. Therefore, every guest who came to the Monarch Pavilion did not need to report their identity. The maid already knew who they were.
She respectfully bowed to the two of them. In response, Chu Wuming nodded slightly. Then, the two of them walked to the main courtyard at the back under the guidance of the maid.
Today was the Fifth Prince's big day, so the entire Monarch Pavilion was reserved by him. However, in order to reserve the Monarch Pavilion, the Fifth Prince had obviously spent a lot. Without a hundred or two hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones, it was absolutely impossible to reserve the entire Monarch Pavilion, and this was only the price of one night.
Along the way, Xiao Chen secretly admired the environment of the Emperor Pavilion. The main hall was splendid and magnificent. After entering the backyard, there was a small bridge over flowing water. It was extremely beautiful.
The Monarch Pavilion didn't blindly pursue tacky luxury. Just from these simple decorations, it wasn't difficult to see that the owner of the Monarch Pavilion really had a certain vision. It was no wonder that the Monarch Pavilion was known as the number one restaurant in the entire Moonless Empire.
Along the way, many people warmly greeted Chu Wuming. These people were also here to attend the Fifth Prince's wedding. They were all descendants of various noble clans.
Because this wedding wasn't recognized by the imperial family, the older generation of the various noble clans weren't present. However, many of the younger generation were present.
Almost all of them were from the younger generation. Not a single one of the powerful ministers of the imperial court or the patriarchs of the various noble clans were present. In the huge bamboo courtyard, there were artificial mountains and lakes surrounding it. However, at this moment, it was already filled with tables and chairs. Moreover, in the middle of the courtyard, there was a red carpet that stretched directly from the entrance to the center of the courtyard.
The decorations were very good. Following beside Chu Wuming, Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming quickly arrived in front of the main table. At this moment, Chu Wushuang, Chu Wuque, and the other princes and princesses had already arrived. Seeing Chu Wuming arrive, Chu Wushuang snappily said.
"Third Brother is really arrogant. I thought you weren't coming."
Hearing Chu Wushuang's words, Chu Wuming refused to be outdone and replied, "Second Brother, you came quite early today. Why? Are you planning to pull Fifth Brother under your wing?"
The moment the two of them met, the smell of gunpowder filled the air. The Fifth Prince was still in a neutral state and didn't side with any of the three Chu Wuming.
Chu Wushuang coldly snorted and didn't say anything else. Chu Wuming and Xiao Chen also slowly sat down.
The banquet hadn't started yet, but everyone was still casually chatting. Of course, under this seemingly joyous atmosphere, there were actually undercurrents surging. Chu Wuming, Chu Wushuang, and Chu Wuque sat together at the same table. Anyone could smell the hidden gunpowder in the air.
Without saying too much, Xiao Chen sat beside Chu Wuming with an indifferent expression. As he sipped the wine in his cup, he sized up the people present with nothing to do.
The people gathered here today were probably the most influential people of the younger generation in the entire Moonless Empire. Every single one of them had an extraordinary background. If they weren't the direct descendants of large clans, they were the heirs of the nobles of the current dynasty.
They didn't have any intention of interacting with these people. While they were casually chatting and waiting, the Fifth Prince, who was wearing a red robe, finally appeared.
With a carefree smile on his face, the Fifth Prince directly went to the table where Chu Wuming and the others were sitting. He cupped his hands and smiled at everyone. "Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, and everyone else, let's drink a few more cups today."
Hearing the Fifth Prince's words, everyone smiled and replied.
With the appearance of the Fifth Prince, the wedding officially began. After greeting everyone, a young girl wearing a red dress and a red cloth over her head walked into the main courtyard, accompanied by four maids.
The young girl's appearance couldn't be seen, but she was the main character today. His gaze stopped on the bride. At this moment, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Although he couldn't see the girl's appearance, Xiao Chen felt a sense of familiarity from her aura.
He definitely knew this girl, but he couldn't remember who she was. His gaze was firmly fixed on the bride. When the bride walked into the center of the main courtyard, Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light. Only then did Xiao Chen finally recognize who this girl was. Without hesitation, Xiao Chen directly stood up and strode towards the bride.
The wedding had already begun. At this moment, Xiao Chen's actions clearly attracted everyone's attention. However, because Xiao Chen was now Chu Wuming's subordinate, and his strength wasn't inferior to Yang Heng's, although everyone was puzzled by Xiao Chen's actions, they didn't reprimand him.
Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Chen strode towards the bride. He didn't even look at the Fifth Prince at the side and directly reached out to lift the bride's red veil.
Seeing Xiao Chen's actions, someone finally shouted. This person was none other than Chu Wushuang.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was about to lift the bride's red veil, Chu Wushuang shouted, "Xiao Chen, how dare you!"
Lifting the bride's red veil on the day of the wedding was indeed an act of great disrespect to the groom. However, Xiao Chen completely ignored Chu Wushuang's angry shout. Before anyone could react, Xiao Chen had already removed the red veil from the bride's head.
A beautiful face appeared in front of everyone. Looking at the girl in front of him, Xiao Chen said with a slightly solemn expression. "It really is you."
