Although the battle between Ji Tianxing and the Son of Heaven had already ended.
But the hundreds of thousands of people and martial artists in the square still refused to leave and were still looking forward to it.
After all, today was not only the day when Ji Tianxing challenged the Son of Heaven, but it was also the day when the Son of Heaven chose his Heavenly Concubine.
Countless people wanted to see which woman could get the Son of Heaven's favor and become the noble Heavenly Concubine.
However, a quarter of an hour passed quickly.
The people were anxiously waiting, but there was still no movement on the Emperor Stage. No one from the Imperial Court went up the stage. Only the red lanterns and red silk brocade danced in the wind.
The people were a little anxious and began to whisper to each other.
Ji Tianxing, Ji Ke, Yan 'er, and the Beast King were also waiting patiently in the square.
Everyone wanted to know who Long Yunxiao would choose as his Heavenly Concubine.
Would he go back on his word and continue to pester Yun Yao? Or would he insist on choosing Yun Yao as his Heavenly Concubine?
Ji Tianxing was not in a hurry to return to the Qingfeng Courtyard to adjust his breathing. He wanted to see the final result so that he could be completely at ease.
However, the Son of Heaven did not appear for a long time, and the people from the Imperial Court were also nowhere to be seen.
Yan 'er was a little anxious and couldn't help but ask Ji Tianxing, "Senior Brother Tianxing, how badly did you beat the Son of Heaven?"
Ji Tianxing looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Yan 'er frowned and muttered, "He hasn't appeared yet. Could it be that he is seriously injured and unconscious?"
Ji Tianxing was startled for a moment and shook his head with a chuckle, "With his injuries, he definitely won't."
Yan 'er looked up at the empty Emperor Stage and asked, "Then why hasn't he come out yet? We are still waiting for the result.
What if he shamelessly refuses to admit it and chooses Senior Sister as his Heavenly Concubine in front of everyone? "
Ji Tianxing patted Yan 'er's head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, he won't. He is the dignified Son of Heaven. How can he go back on his word?"
As soon as his voice fell, there was a commotion in the crowd in the square, and there was a hubbub of exclamations and discussion.
A team of guards in silver armor was protecting two majestic ceremonial officials of the Imperial Court. They passed through the crowd on the square and walked toward the Imperial Stage.
It wasn't long before the two officials of the Imperial Court ascended the Imperial Throne, and they announced a piece of news under the gazes of everyone present.
"By the order of the Imperial Court, His Majesty the Emperor is injured today, so it is inconvenient for him to hold a grand ceremony. The date of the selection of the Heavenly Consort will be postponed …"
When the ceremonial officer announced the order, many of the commoners began to discuss among themselves, their faces filled with disappointment.
However, everyone understood that the Son of Heaven had a great battle with Ji Tianxing and suffered such terrible injuries. Naturally, it was not suitable for him to hold any more ceremonies.
Even if the Imperial Court wanted to delay the selection of the Heavenly Consort, it was reasonable. No one was surprised.
After announcing the imperial court's decree, the ceremonial officer left the Emperor Stage.
The princes in the sky above the Monarch Stage also looked disappointed and flew away silently.
The commoners in the square also gradually dispersed in all directions and began to leave the square.
Ji Tianxing, Yan 'er, and the others were naturally filled with disappointment as they followed the crowd out of the square.
…
On the south side of the square, in a splendid palace.
Dozens of palace maids all maintained solemn postures as they stood respectfully around the main hall.
At the entrance of the main hall, there were a few guards in golden armor who stood quietly.
In the spacious and bright main hall, there were three beautiful women who were waiting quietly.
These three beauties were all stunning in the world. Their figures and appearances were all top-notch, but their temperaments each had their own merits.
In the middle of them was a woman in a white dress. Her temperament was as cold as frost, and her eyes were as indifferent as autumn water. She was Yun Yao.
She just stood there quietly, and there was a kind of celestial aura around her that made her look down on the world.
The beauty in green standing on her left was An Suwan from the Yong 'an Region's Qiankun Sect.
She was the same as Yunyao, wearing a simple green dress. She didn't put on any makeup, nor did she wear any jewelry.
But even so, she had an innate noble and demure temperament.
Even if she just stood there with an indifferent expression, she was like an orchid in an empty valley, quiet and leisurely, noble and elegant.
Of course, compared to Yun Yao, An Suwan's temperament was slightly different. She had a bit more earthly aura.
Yun Yao was a cold fairy from the Nine Heavens, while An Suwan was a peerless beauty in the world.
As for the third beauty, her name was Lan Huixin.
Not only was she pure and beautiful, she had also specially dressed up. She wore an extremely gorgeous floor-length dress and dazzling accessories.
Even if she was standing in the main hall waiting, she tried her best to maintain a perfect appearance and a dignified posture. She would not do anything that would affect her image.
However, her eyes that seemed as gentle as water on the surface hid a deep sense of urgency and anticipation.
Her eyes kept inadvertently glancing at the entrance of the main hall.
Obviously, she was anxious and puzzled. Why hadn't the Emperor sent someone to announce the decree? Why hadn't the ceremony been held yet?
She had prepared and practiced for a few months for this day.
Finally, the two ceremonial officials arrived late and stepped into the main hall with steady steps.
The two of them walked to the front of the main hall and looked at the three beauties calmly. They said in a dignified tone, "Three beauties, His Majesty the Emperor is injured today and is recuperating in the palace. It is inconvenient to hold the ceremony.
The Imperial Court has ordered that the selection of the Heavenly Consort will be temporarily postponed. The specific time is still to be discussed.
During this time, we ask the three beauties to move to the Purple Thunder Palace and stay in His Majesty the Emperor's palace for the time being. Wait patiently … "
After hearing the ceremonial officials' announcement, the three beauties' expressions changed slightly and revealed complicated expressions.
When Yun Yao heard this, she guessed the result of the battle between Ji Tianxing and the Emperor. Her eyes flashed with relief and she secretly sighed in relief.
An Suwan's expression seemed calm, but a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.
A few years ago, she was fortunate enough to enter the Imperial Court with her father and participate in the Emperor's coming of age ceremony.
It was also at that banquet that she first met Long Yunxiao.
At that time, she had just experienced her first awakening of love and had never been moved by any man.
Although there were many celebrities and noble families at the banquet that day, there were many elegant young masters and young masters of noble families.
However, when An Suwan saw Long Yunxiao for the first time, she was attracted by his cold and dignified eyes that hid a sense of loneliness.
From that day onwards, Long Yunxiao entered her heart and had firmly occupied her heart all these years.
Originally, she was about to see Long Yunxiao, whom she had been separated from for a long time.
However, she didn't expect Long Yunxiao to be seriously injured and unable to choose a Heavenly Consort.
Her heart was filled with worry and anxiety. She only wanted to get to Long Yunxiao's side as soon as possible and see how his injuries were and whether they were critical.
Lan Huixin, who was dressed to the nines, revealed a look of disappointment.
In order to perform well today and win the Emperor's heart, she had carefully prepared for a few months. It could be said that she had put in a lot of effort.
However, in the end, it was all in vain. How could she not be depressed?
