"Aiya, Young Marquis, this is the most important thing today. Otherwise, why would they come knocking on our door?" Ye Shui said as she handed the note to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan opened the note and saw that there were a few lines of poetry and a few numbers on it.
"There is a beauty in the palace, her appearance is like lustrous snow …" What kind of nonsense poem is this? "Ye Fan muttered," What is this number? "
"Aiya, Young Marquis, don't underestimate these few lines of poetry! According to the rules, one had to pass the 'civil and military' test to be able to marry the princess.
If he couldn't pass the test in front of the royal family, he could only use his sincerity to move the princess …
Although His Majesty had bestowed the marriage, the wedding would definitely be completed. However, in the end, he would lose face and be laughed at by outsiders!
"Ye Shui pointed at the poem and number on the note and said," Tomorrow, the answer to the exam is already written here. All you need to do is recite it and it will be fine. "
This martial exam was a bit more complicated. It was divided into three stages: 'Crossing the cold water', 'Descending the sea of fire', and 'Pulling the mountain'.
However, one of these three things had been secretly treated. It looked the same on the surface, but in reality, it was not cold, hot, or heavy.
The numbers on it are one, three, two. In other words, it will be very easy to walk through the first pool, the third path of fire, and the second boulder. There won't be any difficulty! "
Ye Fan suddenly understood and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Isn't this cheating? Those two officials from the Ministry of Rites are so bold? "
"Haha, even if I gave them ten guts, they wouldn't dare. This isn't a secret to begin with. After all, it's a joyous occasion, and the royal family also wants face.
"When encountering some Prince Consort whose cultivation is truly lacking, they will secretly inform him of the answer first, so as to avoid making a fool of themselves at the wedding." Ye Danqing said.
"Oh..." If that's the case, then what if I make a mistake and use my true feelings to move the princess? "Ye Fan asked. leaf
Shui smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, it's not difficult …" It's just kneeling in front of the princess' palace, kowtowing and begging the princess to marry …
"Normally, the princess would quickly agree and not embarrass the prince consort too much, but in the end, she would lose face and become a laughing stock."
Ye Fan's face stiffened. He wanted him to kneel down and beg a woman he had never seen before to marry him? How was this possible?
Shaking his head, Ye Fan decided to remember the answer clearly.
However, at this moment, Ye Fan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Uncle Shui, why are we marrying the princess tomorrow? There are only a few of us at home?"
He realized that in the two days he had been here, he had yet to see the Marquis and Madam of the manor, who were also his current parents. From what Wan Qing said, he had a younger brother.
A hint of bitterness appeared on Ye Shuishui's face as she said, "Young Duke … don't be sad. The Duke, Madam, and Second Young Master are all in the Northern Region.
The war with the barbarians has not ended yet, so they can't come back. If it weren't for the fact that the royal family couldn't afford to wait and said that there weren't many auspicious days left this year, and that they wanted you and the princess to get married as soon as possible, they would've certainly wanted to participate.
This is especially true for Madam. Although she's at the border, she's the one who personally arranged the bridal chamber and wedding necessities. "
It seemed that on one hand, the war in the north was tense, but on the other hand, the marquis' mansion was a little uncomfortable with this "abnormal" marriage.
He clearly knew that if he married a short-lived princess, his son would be useless, so he naturally wouldn't have much interest in the liveliness.
This was actually a protest from Duke of Zhenbei to the Emperor of the Underworld. You can bestow marriage, but we are busy surrounding the territory, so we don't have time to participate!
The Emperor of the Underworld didn't seem to have any objections. This Grand Princess was a "hot potato" in the palace. She had to hurry up and get married, which could be considered to have completely ended his fate with Concubine Zhen.
"Big brother, it's fine. Father, mother, and second brother won't come back, but there's still us. Tomorrow, Ye Danqing and I will accompany you to welcome the bride!"
"Yeah, don't panic, we're here!" But Ye Xianqing, why did you call me by my name? Do you know how to call me brother?
"You're leaving! Don't disturb big brother's recitation of the poem!
"Fan Xian looked at the two living treasures beside him and shook his head with a smile. No matter how long he would stay in the manor, he was still quite happy to know this little sister and cousin.
The next day, on an auspicious day, both sides of the road to welcome the bride in the city were decorated with lanterns and streams. leaf
The sail was riding a mount that was covered in beautiful red satin. This mount also had quite a background. It had a dragon head and a lion body, and its entire body was covered in colorful scales.
It was said that this was the offspring of divine beasts such as dragons and qilins, and some other beasts. Although it didn't have much power, it was very festive, so it was called "auspicious beasts" and was often used in noble weddings.
Behind the sail was a wedding carriage powered by a primordial stone. It slowly drove towards the palace gate along with the wedding procession.
Along the way, all sorts of colorful firecrackers rang out. Many commoners in the city came out to watch. Although everyone knew that this marriage was a little joyful and sad, there was no harm in joining in the fun.
This was also the first time that Fan Xian had entered the palace in the center of the city. He discovered that the palace was similar to what he had imagined, and there wasn't anything special about it.
However, in the palace, the density of experts was much higher than outside. Spirit Creation could be seen everywhere, and there were also quite a few in the Longevity Realm.
Of course, there was no lack of people hiding their cultivation. This kind of method was very common in the Great Desolate World. leaf
Finally, they arrived outside the "Heavenly Snow Hall" where the Grand Princess lived. A large group of brocade clothed officials, generals, nobles, and servants were already waiting on both sides of the wide walkway. leaf
Fan Xian took a rough look and discovered that there were at least two Sky Sovereigns among this group of generals! Sure enough, it wasn't that the cultivators of this world were weak, but that there were many people that he couldn't even meet on the streets.
This group of dignitaries, princes, and princesses all had disdainful expressions when they saw Ye Fan.
Ye Fan also knew that this group of people weren't here to congratulate him, they were only here to give face to the royal family.
Even if this marriage was not looked upon favorably by others, it was still the Emperor of the Underworld marrying the Grand Princess.
"Your Majesty, the Empress have arrived!" — — "
Following the shout, a middle-aged man and woman dressed in luxurious clothes arrived outside the palace in a carriage made of gold and dragged by a spirit beast.
A group of people knelt down and saluted, shouting "Long live Your Majesty" and "Long live the Empress".
Ye Fan frowned and stood there, but did not kneel down.
"How dare you, Ye Fan!?" Why aren't you kneeling!? "An official was immediately enraged when he saw Ye Fan standing.
The Emperor of the Underworld, who had a face like jade and a noble temperament, also looked at Ye Fan thoughtfully. His eyes revealed the majesty of an emperor.
At this time, Ye Shui hurriedly knelt down in fright and explained, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger! My young master accidentally got amnesia! I can't remember a lot of etiquette! I definitely didn't mean to be disrespectful to His Majesty and the Empress! "
The crowd whispered to each other. Many people had heard of this matter.
"Your Majesty, today is Qingxue's joyous day. Since Prince Consort didn't do it on purpose, Your Majesty is magnanimous and should just forget about it." The beautiful and graceful Empress Luo Feiyan said with a smile.
"The Empress is right." The Emperor of the Underworld found a way out and waved his hand, "All of you, rise …"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The Empress was benevolent! "…" The group of people hurriedly flattered the Empress.
Ye Fan muttered in his heart, this place really wasn't suitable for him, he had to kneel down at every turn. Even if this group of fellows added up, they wouldn't be able to beat him alone, so why should they kneel?
Hurry up and see if it's Su Qingxue, then leave and go find Chu Yun Yao.
At this time, the Emperor of the Underworld spoke, "Ye Fan, you have amnesia, I don't blame you, but today, you want to marry my Grand Princess. You must perform to my satisfaction in the civil and military examinations, otherwise …" I'll punish you together! "
Ye Fan thought to himself, you've already given me the answer by default, what are you pretending for?
But he couldn't say it out loud, so Ye Fan could only smile and nod his head.
"Imperial Uncle, I'll have to trouble you, an academician of the Sacred Royal Academy, for this exam." The Emperor of the Underworld smiled and said to a long-faced man beside him.
Imperial Uncle? Luo Beiwang?
Ye Fan looked at the man with the goatee and blue robe. Sure enough, he discovered that Luo Hongfei, who he had met in the restaurant before, was standing behind him!
Ye Fan originally thought that this Luo Beiwang was a general, but it turned out that he was a teacher? As expected of an academician of the Sacred Royal Academy, he actually had the cultivation of an Empyrean?
At this moment, Luo Hongfei noticed that Ye Fan was looking over, and the corner of his mouth revealed an evil smile …
