Chapter 673: Grand Wedding: Welcoming the Three Brides
After releasing She Long, Feihuang then released the rest of Qian Renxue's grandfathers.
Especially Guangling Douluo, who could be considered the one with the best relationship with Feihuang within the Spirit Hall.
This grand wedding ceremony required at least three pivotal witnesses; after all, Feihuang was marrying three wives.
The Spirit Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Gu Lei Dynasty would each provide one.
The witness for the Spirit Empire was Guangling Douluo. Although his status was not as high as Qingluan or Golden Crocodile, and even less so than Qian Daoliu, who else but he had such a good relationship with Feihuang? Moreover, Qian Daoliu would certainly serve as the elder in the high seat; after all, Qian Renxue's father was dead, her mother had abandoned her and her whereabouts were unknown, so this grandfather was her only remaining relative.
The witness from the Heaven Dou side was undoubtedly Marshal Ge Long. After all, apart from the Empress Xue Ke, it seemed no one there had a higher status than Ge Long. Furthermore, Xue Ke had always called him Uncle Ge Long. When she was the only remaining seedling of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, Ge Long could also be considered her elder. He might not be qualified to sit in the high seat, but he was barely acceptable as a witness.
Finally, for the Gu Lei Dynasty, the witness for Lingqi was Dugu Bo, the only prince of a different surname in the Gu Lei Dynasty today.
She was in the same situation as Xue Ke, having no elders in her family. She had been raised by Lan Xue since she was young, but Lan Xue and Nan Tianchen were inevitably the most important elders on the groom's side and could not be witnesses.
Thus, Dugu Bo became the best candidate.
He was the first Title Douluo to join the Gu Lei Kingdom when Feihuang was still very weak, and he was both an elder and a close friend across generations to Feihuang.
His status within the dynasty was second only to the family of three including Feihuang. Being the only prince of a different surname was enough to prove the nobility of his status, which even exceeded that of the Sect Masters of the Upper Three Sects and the Offerings of the Spirit Hall.
A month later, the wedding date finally arrived.
On this day, every household hung lanterns and colorful streamers, and the character for "Double Happiness" was pasted on every door.
The entire city offered blessings, all sincerely hoping that their Crown Prince could find happiness.
Inside the spacious palace, high red cotton curtains hung from the ceiling, and the entire scene looked like an ocean ignited by flames, shining brilliantly.
At this moment, the palace was bustling with noise, guests were dressed in gorgeous brocade robes, wearing gold crowns, and a festive atmosphere permeated the air.
At the banquet, all kinds of delicious delicacies filled the tables, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air, making one drool.
There were over twenty Title Douluo present; perhaps only Nan Feihuang had the face to invite all the Title Douluo of the continent here to bless him.
This was a grand ceremony. The camp where the groom was located was lively, the atmosphere was warm and festive, and they held fine wine high and cheered in unison.
Nan Tianchen and Lan Xue sat high on the throne, looking at their handsome and powerful son, feeling very comforted in their hearts.
At this time, the three brides had not yet appeared, and Feihuang could only wait for the auspicious hour.
Although he would face powerful enemies a year later, he still chose to marry his three wives at this time.
He was not like those inexplicable guys who would say things like they wouldn't get married until the dust settled because they were worried about dying in battle and dragging their loved ones down. In his heart, since he had already made a vow for three lifetimes, whether it was the man's enemies or the woman's enemies, they should face them together as husband and wife.
So he was not afraid at all! This was precisely what the three girls admired most about Feihuang, and they immediately agreed to marry him. If Nan Feihuang had self-righteously said something about temporarily separating from them so as not to drag them down...
Then they would have been dissatisfied instead. What did he take them for? Were they cowardly women unwilling to face enemies with their own husbands?
Not long after, a loud voice rang out, "The auspicious hour has arrived, please welcome the brides!"
The entire palace hall suddenly went dark, and then, three beams of light illuminated the entrance.
Three stunningly beautiful women dressed in wedding dresses of different colors were seen walking in slowly, supported by Nan Feihuang's three sisters.
The first, led by the eldest sister Nan Feiyan, was Qian Renxue in a golden wedding dress. Gold visually gives people a feeling of being dazzling and incomparably noble, so choosing a golden wedding dress is usually to show the bride's nobility and unique temperament, which was indeed very suitable for Qian Renxue of the Angel Clan. Gold also symbolizes happiness and eternal love, as gold is seen as a symbol of auspiciousness and beauty in many cultures.
The second, led by the second sister Nan Feilian, was Lv Lingqi, dressed in a bright red bridal gown with a phoenix coronet and embroidered robes. The embroidery on the wedding dress and the sparkle of the jewelry made her look particularly charming and moving. Her choice of such a dress was also within Feihuang's expectations; after all, she was once a subject of the Han Dynasty, and red symbolizes festivity, auspiciousness, and happiness in ancient culture. Red is seen as a color that can ward off evil and bring good luck, so it is widely used in festive occasions such as weddings. The red bridal gown not only represents the joy of a new marriage but also implies that the couple's future life will be prosperous and happy.
Finally, there was Xue Ke, led by Nan Feiling, wearing a snow-white wedding dress. A white wedding dress symbolizes purity and innocence. In many cultures, white is seen as a symbol of purity, innocence, and auspiciousness. Therefore, a bride wearing a white wedding dress implies that they are about to start a pure and flawless new life. This tradition can be traced back to the romantic period of the Middle Ages, when white wedding dresses were seen as the exclusive property of the nobility, representing power and wealth, which indeed fit the noble status of Empress Xue Ke very well.
Feihuang stepped forward, took his three wives one by one, and the four of them knelt together before Lan Xue and Nan Tianchen.
Under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, they kowtowed to their parents and served tea.
This scene made many unmarried young girls feel restless. They seemed to be stimulated; the three girls in bridal gowns were truly too beautiful, beautiful beyond compare, such as Shui Yue'er, Ning Rongrong, and others, who hoped in their hearts whether they would have a chance to have such a day in the future.
At the banquet, the sounds of zithers and flutes rose and fell, songs and dances were performed, guests raised their glasses to congratulate, laughter was everywhere, and happiness was written on everyone's face.
The bride and groom walked into the banquet hand in hand, bowing and thanking their relatives and friends together, the scene solemn and warm.
Inside the palace, the candlelight flickered, and the soft light illuminated the entire scene, giving people a mysterious and warm feeling.
At this time, wonderful dances and operas were performed on the stage, pushing the whole scene to a climax, and the audience was immersed in the torrent of history.
The bride and groom raised their glasses together to toast their relatives and friends, thanking them for their blessings and love.
This wedding scene was full of joy and happiness, and everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of happiness, as if time had stopped, and only the sound of happiness was flowing gently.
Xun Yu smiled with satisfaction, "Hehe, cultivating oneself, regulating the family, governing the state, and pacifying the world; my lord, you have finally achieved all four of the most important things for a man!"
"Then next, we must launch a challenge against the gods in higher positions!"
