Cuan Rijin's reputation was only ranked fifth or sixth in Cuandi. He knew this very well. However, Pi Luoge married his own daughter to his son and his other daughter to the son of the most prestigious King Cuangui in Cuandi.
This meant that in Pi Luoge's heart, he and King Cuangui were the most prestigious people in Cuandi. This was a great affirmation of him. Once this marriage was established, he could use the status of his in-laws to stabilize his position in Cuandi and raise his ranking by several places.
"Governor, the Governor of Nanning Province is here."
A subordinate walked over and reported to Cuan Rijin.
"Uncle is here. Invite him in."
Cuan Rijin was very happy and personally went out to welcome him.
"Uncle, I haven't seen you for a month. I missed you."
When Cuan Rijin saw King Cuangui, he quickly bowed politely.
"Hahaha, I'm so lucky. I'm going to become in-laws with the Emperor."
King Cuangui patted Cuan Rijin's shoulder and laughed.
"Same to you. Uncle is the same. Haha!"
"Hahaha!"
The two of them laughed together.
King Cuangui looked at Cuan Rijin carefully and said, "Nephew, forgive me for speaking bluntly. When Duan Jianwei said that the Emperor would marry his two beautiful daughters to the two most prestigious families in Cuangui, I thought that it would be Cuan Chongdao. After all, he has more soldiers than you. Haha, I didn't expect that. Don't take it to heart."
When Cuan Rijin heard this, his expression turned slightly cold. It was not a comfortable thing to be exposed, but he also knew that King Cuan Gui did not mean any harm. After a pause, he said that he was lucky and made a fool of himself in front of his uncle.
"Governor, the Princess of Nanzhao has arrived five miles outside the city."
Cuan Rijin and King Cuangui looked at each other and smiled. "Speak of the devil. Let's go and welcome her."
King Cuangui nodded and went out of the city with Cuan Rijin to welcome the Princess of Nanzhao.
Outside Kunzhou City, Nanzhao's bridal procession was lined up in a long line. The person in charge of the procession was none other than Duan Jianwei, who was in charge of matchmaking.
Duan Jianwei sneered when he saw King Cuan Gui and Cuan Rijin coming out of the city to greet him. His plan was finally about to begin.
"Governor Cuan, Governor Cuan, how have you been?"
Duan Jianwei jumped off his horse and looked at the two with a kind attitude.
"Mr. Duan, you're finally here. I haven't seen you for a month, and I've missed you."
Cuan Rijin had always had a good impression of Duan Jianwei. Seeing the Duan Jianwei was like seeing his own family.
Prince Cuangui looked at the back of the group and asked, "Mister Duan, where is the princess?"
Duan Jianwei chuckled. He turned around and instructed, "Quickly invite the princess in."
"Princess, please!"
Soon, two Nanzhao princesses wearing gauze curtains got off the carriage and came forward. They bowed to King Cuangui and Cuan Rijin.
Although their faces couldn't be seen clearly, their figures and walking posture were enough to attract people. Their voices were also very seductive.
King Cuangui stared straight at the two Nanzhao princesses and a trace of evil thoughts appeared in his mind. Although one of them would be his daughter-in-law in the future, his stupid son couldn't control his thoughts. As long as he wanted to, he would definitely be able to do it.
A gentle breeze blew by, causing the gauze curtains in front of the two princesses of Nanzhao to flutter. Their fair and pretty faces were immediately reflected in everyone's eyes.
King Cuangui and Cuan Rijin's eyes were suddenly fixed. They had long heard that Nanzhao had two stunning princesses. Seeing them today, they felt that it was true. The Nanzhao princesses were really too beautiful.
"Hehehe!"
Her pink lips, white face, and the beauty of the Nanzhao princess caused King Cuangui to temporarily forget his surroundings and laugh foolishly.
"Haha, I've long heard that the Nanzhao princesses are stunning. It seems that they live up to their reputation."
Cuan Rijin didn't think much of it and directly praised them.
King Cuangui came back to his senses and said, "The daughter of the Emperor is indeed stunning. How can my son be worthy of the princess?"
After saying that, he turned around and glared at his son, Cuan Shouyu.
This was what King Cuangui thought. He felt that such a stunning Nanzhao princess should be his woman. How could he let his stupid son have her? It was just that he couldn't say it out loud because of etiquette.
Duan Jianwei smiled and said respectfully, "Governor Cuangui is too modest. As the saying goes, a good saddle matches a good horse, and a beautiful woman matches a hero. Governor Cuangui is a dragon among men, and your son is also a young talent. A good match, definitely a good match."
"Hahaha, good, good, good."
King Cuangui was naturally very happy to be praised.
Cuan Rijin lived in Kunzhou City, so the wedding between his son and the Nanzhao princesses would naturally be held in Kunzhou City. However, King Cuangui lived in Nanning Province, which was still a long way from Kunzhou City.
After some discussion, Duan Jianwei gave one of the princesses to King Cuangui and Cuan Shouyu, and asked them to go to Nanning Province to hold the wedding. The relevant etiquette officials of Nanzhao also followed.
The remaining half of the people naturally stayed in Kunzhou City to prepare for the wedding with Cuan Rijin's son.
Duan Jianwei himself also stayed in Kunzhou City to prepare to attend the wedding of Cuan Rijin's son and the Nanzhao princesses, and to complete his own set of plans.
The wedding was so smooth that Cuan Rijin was very satisfied. It was a blessing for his son to be able to marry the Nanzhao princesses, and this princesses was so beautiful, which made it even more fortunate.
Duan Jianwei's compliments made Cuan Rijin even more confused. He thought that Pi Luoge thought highly of him, but he didn't know that he was just a chess piece of Pi Luoge.
That evening, Cuan Rijin personally presided over the wedding between his son and the Nanzhao princesses. Duan Jianwei attended the wedding as a guest of honor.
The wedding went very smoothly, and the entire Kunzhou City was immersed in a happy atmosphere. It was not an exaggeration to say that the entire city was celebrating.
In Weizhou City, dozens of miles northeast of Kunzhou, the Great Ghost Lord of Nanzhao, Cuan Chongdao, and his son, Cuan Fuchao, had just learned that the two princesses of Nanzhao had arrived in Kunzhou.
Cuan Chongdao and Cuan Fuchao didn't know that Nanzhao would marry the two princesses to the sons of King Cuan Gui and Cuan Rijin respectively. They only remembered that when Duan Jianwei was in Kunzhou, he said that he would marry the two daughters of Pi Luoge to the sons of the most prestigious people in Cuan Di.
Cuan Chongdao thought that he could be ranked second in Cuan Di. For this reason, he felt that one of the two princesses of Nanzhao would definitely marry his son. Cuan Fuchao naturally thought so too.
"Father, since the Nanzhao princesses have arrived in Kunzhou, we should go and welcome them."
Cuan Fuchao had long heard that the Nanzhao princesses were stunning beauties. He wanted to see the Nanzhao princesses as soon as possible.
Cuan Chongdao frowned slightly and said, "My son is right. However, Nanzhao should have informed us earlier. Why are the princesses of Nanzhao all here?"
