The 9th of July, auspicious, suitable for marriage.
The Princess's wedding was celebrated by the whole country, and in the Prince's Mansion, it was even more bustling and lively.
A group of officials stood according to their official rank, gathered together and talked loudly. They looked excited, as if they were the Prince's son-in-law today. Duying Feiyang stayed by Princess Yuzhen's side and watched coldly from the sidelines. He seemed to be out of tune with the warm atmosphere around him.
Most of the people in front of him were familiar. They had all seen him at Sima Chengzhen's funeral ten days ago. Even at that time, all of them were still heartbroken and seemed to have nothing left to live for. It was as if they were ready to commit suicide by ramming their heads against a pillar and follow Sima Chengzhen to the afterlife.
But in just a few days, they were beaming with joy, and every wrinkle on their faces was blooming.
The pavilion was the gathering center of the Princes, Dukes, and Emperors. Those with low ranks didn't even have the opportunity to get close to them. But Ying Feiyang happened to be standing in this position, so many people mistakenly thought that he was a Marquis.
Princess Yu Zhen had a wide circle of friends. She was talking and laughing with several dignified and elegant Dukes. At this time, accompanied by a flattering voice, a young man walked out of the crowd. The young man ignored the officials on both sides and walked straight towards Princess Yu Zhen. He bowed respectfully and said:
"Nephew Li Mao, greets Aunt." The person who came was dressed luxuriously and had an elegant bearing. He was handsome, but his eyebrows and eyes were too soft, and his temperament was also inclined to be weak. Hearing his name, Ying Feiyang raised his eyebrows. He knew his identity. The person who came was the brother of the newly married Princess Xianyi, the most favored Prince of the Tang Emperor – "Shou Wang" Li Mao.
When Ying Feiyang looked at Li Mao, Shou Wang Li Mao was also looking at Ying Feiyang. In his opinion, Ying Feiyang was young and handsome, and he was standing next to Princess Yu Zhen. His identity would naturally lead people to think in a bad direction, and he still didn't salute the Prince. Li Mao was unhappy, but he felt that Ying Feiyang's temperament was transcendent, and he didn't seem like an ordinary person. So he asked: "Aunt, may I know who this is?"
Princess Yuzhen smiled and said, "I forgot to introduce you. This Young Master Ying Feiyang is Gu Jiansheng, Gu Zhenren's disciple. He was also taught by my master, Sima Zhenren, and can be considered my junior brother."
Li Mao suddenly understood. So he was an Immortal's disciple, no wonder he was so arrogant. The previous unhappiness disappeared in an instant, and he immediately bowed and said: "So it's Martial Uncle, Li Mao greets you. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↓ Say △ Net

Ying Feiyang couldn't help but feel a little smug when the most distinguished Prince in the world bowed to him. But he didn't avoid it, and calmly accepted it. Then his heart trembled, and he thought: "No wonder many cultivators find it difficult to come out after entering the world. Even the noble Imperial Family needs to treat them with courtesy. To be respected like this is indeed better than cultivating in solitude. "
While Ying Feiyang was thinking, on the other side Li Mao was chatting with Princess Yuzhen and several other noblewomen. His own sister was getting married, Li Mao was also very happy, the tips of his eyebrows showed a happy expression. Princess Yuzhen teased him, "Eighteenth Darling, your Meizi has married before you, you are not young anymore. There are so many noble ladies in Chang 'an and Luoyang, but who do you fancy? If you see someone suitable, just say it, aunt will be your matchmaker! "
Li Mao's face showed embarrassment, and he said: "This, nephew has not yet found someone he likes. For now, aunt won't worry … "Princess Yu Zhen and a group of noble ladies didn't want to let him go, and they all joked about betrothing their daughters to him, making Li Mao's face turn red.
Ying Feiyang saw his appearance, and secretly laughed: "This Prince of a country, although his temper is good, he seems to be too soft. He doesn't have the dignity of a person with power. "
Ying Feiyang couldn't get a word in, and felt it was boring to just stand there, so he used the excuse of urinating to ask Princess Yu Zhen to leave, and left the circle of women.
The Prince Consort's Mansion was very big, Ying Feiyang looked around, and found a few unusual people, then his eyes focused, and he grabbed an official wearing a light seventh-ranked official robe. The official was chatting happily with a few low-ranked officials, and was talking eloquently, when he was interrupted by Ying Feiyang. He looked back, and immediately said impatiently: "Go play somewhere else, I have business here!"
But before he could finish, he was forcibly pulled away by Ying Feiyang, and the person had no choice but to shout to the low-ranked officials: "As long as you listen to me, and bury a small cauldron under the tree in the mansion, I guarantee that it will accumulate luck, and help you to rise …"
Ying Feiyang pulled the official to a less crowded corner, and laughed: "Immortal Ce, how can you disguise yourself as an official, but you still can't change your appearance of a Jianghu swindler."
The official straightened his clothes, and said righteously: "What disguise, I am the dignified Si Tiantai, a seventh-ranked official, bestowed by the Emperor.
Alright. " As he spoke, he straightened his chest, and put on the appearance of a loyal official, but between his brows, there was an unconcealable air of a profiteer. Who else could it be other than Ce Tianji?
Ying Feiyang said: "Everyone says that Lu Tianlan is here to steal, but you are so relaxed, and you still remember to tell fortune to cheat money?"
Ce Tianji said: "What do you know? I am confident, and I have arranged everything properly. In the past, there was Xie Xuan who played chess to stabilize the army's morale, and today there is me, Ce Tianji, to tell fortune at the Prince Consort's Mansion to wait for the thief.

Ying Feiyang sneered, "Everything is in place? Just placing a few cultivators from the Directorate of Heavens in the mansion was considered a good setup? You should at least disguise yourself, don't let people see through you. "
"Hmm? You can recognize him? "
Ying Feiyang raised his hand, and pointed at a civil official: "That person's hat can't even cover his temples, and his breath is mixed and impure. Even I can see that he switched from martial arts to Heavenly Dao. Can he hide from Lu Tianlan's eyes?"
Ce Tianji was not convinced: "That person just entered Si Tiantai not long ago, and his cultivation is shallow. It's not really a skill to discover him. I have a total of 20 people, and if half of them can't be recognized, it's considered a success."
"Really? Then I will let you recognize more than half of them. Watch me find ten more people! " Ying Feiyang was bored, and it was rare to have time to kill, so he took it as a test of his eyesight, and to improve his cultivation.
Ying Feiyang's mind was clear, and his eyes were clear. He entered the state of sword competition. He had been practicing the "Break" Formula for a long time, so his eyesight was very sharp. He was not only sensitive to the flaws of sword techniques, but also the flaws of disguise.
He waved his hand, and pointed at another person: "That person's aura is calm and natural, and he doesn't show any traces. But he doesn't pay attention to the people around him. Although he stands with the officials, he doesn't say anything, and looks alert. He looks around from time to time. His acting is too bad."
"That chef's hands are clean, without any grease. They are definitely the hands of a cultivator."
"That servant woman, oh, she's pretty. You can make a pretty female cultivator pretend to be a servant woman? "
…
Ying Feiyang and Ce Tianji talked as they walked, and soon they went around the Fuma's Mansion, and pointed out nine people.
Ce Tianji's expression was a bit ugly. But seeing that Ying Feiyang did not point out the tenth person for a long time, he regained some of his arrogance and said, "Ying Tianming, you are too young. You don't know the principle that what is false is real, and what is real is false. Lu Tianlan left a poem and said that she wants to visit. If there is not even one person in disguise, it will make the demon more suspicious. As for me, I set up ten obvious disguises in order to numb Lu Tianlan and cover the other ten people. I want Lu Tianlan to think that he has seen through all the disguises. Then, he will relax and reveal his flaws. "
"Oh, is that so?" Ying Feiyang narrowed his eyes.
"Of course. If you can find another person, as long as you want to have your fortune told, I won't refuse and won't take a penny from you. "Ce Tianji said fiercely.
Ying Feiyang pointed at another person and said resolutely, "There, that one!" Ce Tianji was stunned. His mouth opened so wide that two eggs could fit inside.
"How did you know!" Ce Tianji said fiercely.
"According to the position, if you want to look at the Prince Consort's residence. That position needs another person to look after it. "Ying Feiyang said.
"How, how is that possible? If it was an old constable from the Ministry of Justice, he might have the eyesight to be able to figure it out. But how can you do it? "Ce Tianji said in disbelief.
"I am gifted." Ying Feiyang said leisurely. He thought to himself, "Count yourself unlucky. That person was introduced to Si Tiantai by me!" No one knew that Ying Feiyang already knew the person he was pointing at. It was Yu Boyue whom he saved once.
Looking at Ce Tianji's absent-minded expression, Ying Feiyang took the chance to attack him, "Look. This is the flawless arrangement you were talking about! If Lu Tianlan comes, what are you going to do? "
"He's coming, he's coming!" Suddenly, there was a loud shout. Ce Tianji shuddered and recovered from his absent-mindedness. He looked around and said, "Lu Tianlan? He really came? Where is he? Where is he? "
Ying Feiyang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't be nervous. It's Princess Xianyi!"
This shout seemed to have set off a wave, causing the people in the residence to rush out. Ying Feiyang and Ce Tianji were also squeezed out of the residence along with the crowd.
Looking up, the wide street was surging with people. Under the gazes of countless people, a burst of festive music could be heard. Following the music, a group of people walked out from the corner of the street. The person in the lead was riding a white horse with a golden saddle. The horse was tall and handsome, its entire body was white without any impurities. Contrasting with the good horse, the person on the horse looked even more heroic.
The man was dressed in a red gown, with a jade belt and a red silk flower on his chest. He held a three-eaves umbrella on his head and held a whip woven from silk in his hand. He was leading a royal band of fifty people who were playing music to clear the way. This was the Prince Consort, Yang Yun. Yang Yun not only had a decent appearance, his family background was also illustrious. His mother was the daughter of Zhong Zong, Princess Chang Ning. His father was a noble from the Hong Nong Yang family. Naturally, he was also a relative of the Emperor. This time, he was marrying the Emperor's most beloved Princess Xian Yi.
Then, the Jin Wu Guards lined up and blocked the crowd to the two sides. A group of palace servants led the way. A curtain carriage pulled by four horses could be seen. On the carriage, the princess wore a nine phoenix crown and a red wedding dress embroidered with a pheasant with a long tail. The pearl necklace on the crown made it hard to see her face clearly. But the aura of nobility was enough to make people fall for her. Behind the carriage was the noblewoman, bridesmaid, and attendants.
Ying Feiyang looked and couldn't help but say, "The terrain along the way is wide and hard to defend. With Lu Tianlan's speed, no one can stop him. But he didn't make a move."
Ce Tianji shook his head, "Not to mention that I have arranged people to defend along the way. Just look at that Lu Tianlan. He likes to be in the limelight. From his past experience, I know that he won't make a move before the guests gather."
Ying Feiyang frowned, "Oh right, you only said that he wants to steal something. Do you know what he wants to steal? If we don't know what he wants to steal, how much harder would it be to defend? "
Ce Tianji said, "About this, although I don't know, it's not hard to guess. In the poem that Lu Tianlan left behind, there's a line, 'Pick up pearls and green feathers'." In the princess's dowry, the most precious are the five pairs of South Sea pearls. Pearls are priceless to mortals. Plus, these pearls made by heaven and earth are the best materials to make instruments. Even to that fierce demon, it's a treasure. I think he wants to steal these five pairs of pearls. "
Ying Feiyang frowned and said in disdain, "Pfft, should? Your arrangement is based on this "should"? Aren't you afraid of drawing water with a sieve? "
Ce Tianji didn't deny it, "It doesn't matter. With me here, nothing will be stolen. Even if Lu Tianlan wants to steal a pot from the princess, it's impossible." He was full of confidence, as if he had completely forgotten about the disappointment just now.
As the two talked, the people and horses arrived in front of them. Under the red silk path, the princess entered the prince consort's residence. Although they still couldn't see her face clearly, the bridesmaids were all young and beautiful, very pleasing to the eye.
According to tradition, the princess entered the room first, washed up and waited for the auspicious time to come out. As for the princess's dowry, dozens of big boxes were lined up in front of the hall.
This was to show the emperor's favor.
Pearls and jade pendants, golden leather belts, jade dragon crowns, jade bracelets, pearls and emerald collars, four seasons of clothing, gold and silver artifacts embedded with pearls, and all kinds of treasures filled the boxes. The most eye-catching among them were the five pairs of fist-sized pearls.
The pearls were translucent and almost transparent. Under the sunlight, they reflected an enchanting halo. Ying Feiyang could also sense that the pearls contained a natural, unpolished, and pure spiritual energy. Even Ying Feiyang's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "The emperor marrying off his daughter is the same rule as the nouveau riche in the countryside. They have to show off the dowry to show off their face. If it was stolen, they deserved it."
A few more boxes were opened but they were empty. Ying Feiyang was confused, but Ce Tianji explained to him that these boxes were left for the guests to present their gifts.
At this point in the wedding banquet, it was time to present gifts. The nobles were competing with each other and presented all kinds of luxurious items. Each item would be called out by the master of ceremonies and recorded in a book before being placed in a box. If there was a precious item, the whole place would be in an uproar. The person who presented the gift would also gain face. Some refined scholars and celebrities gave some calligraphy and paintings. Although they might not be valuable, they were still very interesting. Only some officials who were neither too important nor too insignificant were troubled. If the gifts were expensive, not only would they feel pain, it would also make it seem like the money came from an unknown source. If the gifts were not expensive, they were afraid of losing face.
Ying Feiyang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Celestial Ce, did you give anything? Are you only going to freeload and not give any gifts?"
Ce Tianji chuckled and said, "I, I gave them a few nobles. I wonder if they are considered gifts?"
Ying Feiyang raised his eyebrows, "Oh, what do you mean?"
Ce Tianji said proudly, "Lu Tianlan wanted to steal the treasure. If it was in the past, Si Tiantai didn't have enough manpower and might not be able to stop him. But what time is it now? Now is the time for the Buddhist and Daoist Conference. Masters are gathering. Just invite a few and it would be enough for Lu Tianlan to handle. I wonder if this is considered a gift? "
Just as Ce Tianji finished speaking, two rays of green light flew over everyone's head and into the box. It was two green short swords.
