Chapter 285: The bride is not present at the wedding!
Chapter 285: The bride is not present at the wedding!
"Lord Shengze, my love for the princess remains sincere. No matter what she is like, I am willing to marry her." Lou Moyu said.
Xu Fengyu had already told Xu Yan about Lou Moyu's true identity, and now he was here to form an alliance as the crown prince of the Lieyan Kingdom.
"Me too!" the others replied.
"I understand your intentions, but my princess is now unconscious, how can the wedding be held?
Besides, we don't know when she will wake up. Even if the wedding is postponed, we don't know when it will be. You all have important things to do, how can you afford to delay?"
"Lord Shengze, the wedding is tomorrow and everything is ready. It is too late to change the date or cancel the engagement now. Why not let the wedding go on as normal?" Bai Ze said.
"Lord Shengze, what Prince Bai said makes sense. It is said that 'those who accomplish great things do not pay attention to trivial matters', and I think the same is true for the wedding ceremony.
The princess is ill now, so we should pay more attention to her health. We can use her portrait instead at the wedding ceremony." Shangguan Li said.
"Prince Shangguan, this is a good idea! This way the wedding can go on normally and the princess doesn't need to be present!" Ying Zhiyao said.
"Actually, I don't care about the ceremony. As long as I can be with the princess and she acknowledges my identity as her husband, I'll be satisfied." Liu Yunxue said.
“Once the news of our marriage is released, everyone will know that I am Princess Wuyou’s husband. It would be great to have a wedding ceremony, but it doesn’t matter if we don’t. I don’t care!” Long Haotian said.
"The engagement between me and the princess was granted by Lord Shengze himself. Now Lord Shengze wants to cancel the engagement. Isn't that inappropriate?" Lou Moyu said.
"I don't need any compensation. I insist on marriage and marry the princess." Leng Mo Lin said.
"Your Majesty, I am just a concubine and there is no need for a wedding. As long as Your Majesty agrees to let me serve tea, I am willing to move into Fangfei Palace immediately to take care of the princess." Yue Rensong said.
After hearing the answers from several people, Xu Yan couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved at all.
Now his daughter is in a coma and cannot get married. If the seven countries take this as an excuse to take action, their country of Saint Jersey will be in danger!
Xu Yan knew this very well, so after careful consideration, he decided to offer generous compensation, hoping to preserve his country.
It's not that he thinks too badly of others, but this is a world where the strong prey on the weak, the strong are respected, and the weak can only be slaughtered.
Although his country is powerful and can handle one or two countries, it is just a weakling in front of the seven countries.
Xu Yan has prepared for the worst!
What Xu Yan didn't expect was that these people didn't take the opportunity to rob, but insisted on marriage! This was really beyond his expectations!
At this moment, Xu Yan really believed that they treated his daughter sincerely!
Since they were so sincere in marrying his daughter, Xu Yan did not mention canceling the engagement!
After discussion, they decided to temporarily use Xu Yuexi's portrait instead of her real body for the ceremony. Although this was not traditional, it was the only option under special circumstances.
Xu Fengyu sat there and listened to the whole thing from beginning to end. The attitude of these people made Xu Fengyu dumbfounded. He couldn't believe his ears. The bride didn't need to be present at the wedding! Is this possible?
What kind of magic potion did his imperial sister give to these men that made them so confused and bewildered that they forgot about "taking advantage of the opportunity to grab food".
But it’s a good thing this way, this way their country will be safe!
But Xu Fengyu couldn't help but wonder in his heart, are women so scarce nowadays? Even the prince of a big country or the king of a small country have to compromise like this to get married!
This is so ridiculous!
If even a person of such noble status has to put herself in such a difficult position when getting married, what about ordinary people?
Thinking of this, Xu Fengyu made up his mind that he could not marry, and he would never marry!
In fact, there are reasons why these marriage partners made such concessions.
After all, in the current situation, as the crown prince or monarch of a country, they are more demanding of their wives, and it is not easy to find a suitable wife.
It is even more difficult to find a woman like Xu Yuexi, who is outstanding in appearance and talented in all aspects and can match them.
In fact, what they valued most was Xu Yuexi's fertility. She was probably the only woman on the continent who could get pregnant after just over a month of marriage, and who was pregnant with twins!
What is the reason for these men to do everything they can to get married?
It's an offspring!
In fact, you are all smart people, how could you not understand Xu Yan's thoughts?
But how dare they do this now? Ji Wuxie alone was no match for them, let alone Li Yansheng now.
These two men are so powerful and love Xu Yuexi to their core, how dare they take advantage of the opportunity to easily attack her country?
Besides, for people like them, status, money and power are no longer important to them. What is important are women and children.
As the king of a country or the crown prince, offspring are more important to them.
Without offspring of their own, wouldn’t their country have to be handed over to others after many years?
But not every woman can catch their eye! After seeing Xu Yuexi's specialness, what they want is her body and her heart. Getting her approval is the top priority, and everything else is nothing!
When Tang Liuqing learned that the wedding would go on and that they were willing to marry in front of Xu Yuexi's portrait, he was surprised but didn't say much. He took out a self-portrait that Xu Yuexi had painted for him in the mountains before.
The second day wedding
The marriage was between seven countries, with the princess marrying eight husbands at once. The wedding was unprecedentedly grand.
The wedding scene was decorated with colorful lights and red makeup, creating a festive atmosphere.
The wedding banquet was filled with delicacies from land and sea, fine wines and delicious food, and the guests were laughing and talking happily.
The eight grooms, each wearing wedding clothes with their own national characteristics, are handsome and elegant.
However, the princess never appeared.
At this time, the guests watching the ceremony could no longer hold back and began to talk!
They had never seen a wedding, and there was no bride! This, this was really strange! Where had their princess gone?
At this time, Emperor Xu Yan, who was sitting at the top, spoke.
"Everyone be quiet, MC, let's begin!"
"Yes, sir, I obey your order!"
At this time, the voice of the Master of Rites sounded.
"Newcomers, bow to heaven and earth!"
Lou Moyu unfolded the scroll in his hand, revealing the portrait of Xu Yuexi.
The eight grooms began to perform the ceremony.
"Wait! How can you get married without a bride?"
