Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 835
Chapter 835 Wedding (Middle)
Perhaps some people might not understand why Tang Lingxiu was going to be Eldest Sun Li Zhi’s concubine, but the Eldest Sun Imperial Clan was still making such a big fuss?
Actually, the reason was very simple. This was to raise one’s status.
One had to know that Tang Lingxiu was a direct descendant of the Tang Imperial Clan. A direct descendant of the Tang Imperial Clan would become a side imperial concubine for their clan. This was definitely a matter of face for the Eldest Sun Imperial Clan.
Therefore, such a matter should be handled in a big way, and the more solemn the matter, the better it would be.
However, only the Changsun Imperial Clan had this kind of mentality, and the Tang Imperial Clan’s mentality was completely the opposite.
The core members of the Tang Imperial Clan would definitely not be able to stay out of the Imperial City at this time, but they were more willing to keep a low profile, so as not to let more people know that the Tang Imperial Clan had fallen to the point where their direct descendants were treated as side concubines.
However, when the core members of the Tang Imperial Clan arrived at Rizhou Imperial City, they knew that their wishes were doomed to fail.
Right now, the people of the Tang Imperial Clan only hoped that this wedding would end smoothly and at the fastest possible speed. Afterwards, they would leave Imperial Sun City immediately to avoid being humiliated here.
Royal marriage, etiquette and procedures are very cumbersome.
The first thing he had to do was to fire a cannon at the heavens, which meant that the people of the world would know that there were new members in the royal family. Then, he carried the sedan chair into the manor and took the bride from outside the manor into the manor.
Under normal circumstances, Tang Lingxiu should be escorted by the Tang Imperial Clan’s family sending army, beating gongs and drums along the way from Jade Water Imperial City to Rizhou Imperial City.
However, the Tang Imperial Clan did not want to be too public, so they secretly sent people to the Imperial City of Rizhou. His attitude towards Tang Lingxiu was obvious from this point alone.
After bringing the sedan chair into the city, the bride’s sedan chair, accompanied by a guard of honor from the Changsun Imperial Clan, circled around the entire Changsun Imperial Palace before finally entering the main hall of the Changsun Imperial Palace to officially begin the wedding ceremony.
The content of the wedding was similar to what ordinary people knew. It was roughly a worship of heaven and earth, a worship of the high hall, a worship of husband and wife, and so on.
However, after the couple finished their worship, the royal wedding process did not directly send a couple into the bridal chamber. Instead, they would sign a one-sided contract.
There was a fundamental difference between the Concentrated Contract and the Beast Control Contract or the Spirit Control Contract.
It didn’t have any subordinate relationship. It only allowed a couple to share each other’s thoughts and sense each other’s existence at all times. Even in a critical moment, the two people who had signed a concentric contract were able to transmit a portion of their cultivation to each other.
In addition, the Concentric Contract was not created out of thin air. It was made from the fruit of the Twin Concentric Fruits and then combined with the Primordial Chaos Restriction Technique.
The two parties who signed the Concentric Contract had to consume the medicinal pills refined from the Twin Concentric Fruits and then drip their own blood on the Concentric Restraint before they could truly sign the Concentric Contract.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost time.
The ritual process of firing cannons and bringing a sedan chair into the manor had already been completed. Now it’s time for a formal wedding.
The entrance to the main hall of the Eternal Sun Imperial Palace was wide open, and a fiery fox fur carpet went straight into the interior of the main hall.
Even from the outside, the main hall was spacious. The middle of the main hall was empty, and the innermost part was a four-sided platform. There were Tang Lingxiu and Eldest Sun Lizhi’s parents sitting on the four-sided stage, as well as the clan heads of the Tang Imperial Clan and Eldest Sun Imperial Clan.
Right now, there was one person standing in the main hall, Eldest Sun Lizhi. He was wearing a red cross-collar robe and was looking at the entrance of the main hall with a mocking expression.
Before long, Tang Lingxiu’s beautiful figure appeared at the entrance of the main hall accompanied by Tang Chenfeng.
Tang Chenfeng, who was seriously injured, looked very weak. Originally, he should stay in bed and rest in such a situation. But Tang Chenfeng was worried that something might happen to Tang Lingxiu, so if he gritted his teeth and insisted on following him.
Tang Chenfeng accompanied Tang Lingxiu into the main hall. The moment Tang Lingxiu stepped past the entrance of the main hall, an elegant voice of etiquette and music immediately sounded.
The official in charge of the ceremonies shouted, “It’s auspicious. Please welcome the bride and groom.”
Eldest Sun Lizhi walked towards Tang Chenfeng and Tang Lingxiu. Tang Chenfeng held a red ball cloth belt in his hand. According to the rules, he should give the other end of the cloth belt to Eldest Sun Lizhi. Eldest Sun Lizhi would lead the cloth belt to bring Tang Lingxiu to the center of the hall.
Eldest Sun Lizhi smiled and reached for the cloth belt. Tang Chen looked coldly at Eldest Sun Lizhi, his eyes filled with dense killing intent.
Eldest Sun Lizhi pulled the cloth belt and didn’t pull it. He simply threw the cloth belt away and directly reached out to pull Tang Lingxiu’s hand.
Tang Lingxiu subconsciously took a step back. Tang Chenfeng immediately stood in front of Eldest Sun Lizhi and shouted coldly, “Eldest Sun Lizhi, what are you doing?”
Eldest Sun Lizhi sneered and slapped Tang Chenfeng with his palm.
Tang Chenfeng was already seriously injured. If he really received Eldest Sun Lizhi’s palm strike, his life would be in danger.
Tang Lingxiu hurriedly pulled Tang Chenfeng behind her. Eldest Sun Li knew that this palm strike was about to hit Tang Lingxiu. He hurriedly withdrew his palm force. Instead, he should have forcefully retracted his palm force and retreated two steps.
Eldest Sun Lizhi’s sudden move shocked the Tang Imperial Clan. Tang Lingxiu’s parents stood up and Father Tang shouted, “Eldest Sun Lizhi, what are you doing?”
Eldest Sun Lizhi turned around and looked at Father Tang. He smiled and said, “What are you doing?” I still want to ask you people from the Tang Imperial Clan! Your Tang Imperial Clan pretends to want to borrow Tang Lingxiu to marry our Eldest Sun Imperial Clan, but what’s the result? Tang Lingxiu was wearing a ‘Blood Lightning Pearl Cloak’ and was ready to die for Bai Ningxuan’s traitorous death anytime, anywhere. Tell me, what is your Tang Imperial Clan planning to do? ”
“What?”
Tang Lingxiu’s parents and the other core members of the Tang Imperial Clan were all shocked.
The Tang Imperial Clan’s Clan Chief Tang Ming Qing immediately looked at Tang Lingxiu and asked, “Ling Xiu, is what Eldest Sun Young Master said true?”
Tang Lingxiu took off her red lid. Her beautiful eyes swept across the faces of every core member of the Tang Imperial Clan. Then, Tang Lingxiu turned around and looked outside the palace.
Outside the palace, there were only two rows of soldiers from the Changsun Imperial Palace, standing upright like a javelin. Tang Lingxiu muttered, “Does the Purple Battle Sect that is known as’answering questions when asked ‘break its promise? Ning Xuan, it seems that I can’t wait for news of you anymore.”
Just as Tang Lingxiu finished speaking, a crane’s cry came from the sky outside the palace.
A white-clothed man stepped on the back of a crane and landed. The white-clothed man said to Tang Lingxiu outside the palace, “Miss Lingxiu, you have the answer to the question you asked with your hundred-year lifespan. Young Master Bai Ningxuan is not dead. He was rescued by someone called Jiang Feng and his whereabouts are unknown.”
Hearing the white-clothed man’s words, two lines of tears immediately fell from Tang Lingxiu’s beautiful eyes.
Tang Lingxiu’s tears flowed down her cheeks, but her lips curled into an unspeakable smile. She trembled and said to the white-clothed man, “Thank you, Spirit Messenger.”
Then Tang Lingxiu whispered to herself, “Ning Xuan, it’s good to know that you’re fine. It’s impossible for Ling Xiu to marry someone else and ruin her reputation. So I can’t wait for you anymore. I hope to see you again in the next life … Ning Xuan.”
