Peace Order

Your Majesty, has disappeared!

Nan Hanwen felt as if he could suddenly empathize with Qu Hanxiu, the one who witnessed His Majesty declaring that the world would die.

He now felt as if his stomach had endured the trampling of an Iron-eating Beast, nearly convulsing.

Your Majesty?!

Your Majesty, the heroes of the world and champions from all corners are here.

You cannot let the world see this farce.

Mr. Qu.

Could it be, am I going to be infamous forever?

After His Majesty’s dispute with the Ministry of Rites officials, he decided the grand wedding order according to his acquaintance with those involved, to be held in succession. But with such a big blunder in the first one, will there be any more? Is there even a need for more?

Might as well go drown in the lake!

Nan Hanwen wore a smile.

Appeared calm, yet mentally he had already been gone for a while.

Yue Qianfeng almost stared wide-eyed, grabbing Xue Changqing, almost shaking this child’s stomach acid out: "Where is your sister? Your sister isn’t here, and His Majesty isn’t here? Where have they both gone?!"

"Eloped?!"

Xue Changqing was bewildered.

It felt like going back to his youth, when his sister ran off to play, and he was questioned by his grandfather.

Why is this happening again?

Hmm? Why do I say again?

Just as the entire palace, all of Jiangnan, was about to descend into chaos, from the sky, there came a sudden sound of thunder. Everyone instinctively looked up, witnessing the sky’s clouds rolling, and the crimson golden clouds spreading layer by layer.

The enormous Divine Dragon moved slowly.

The Ancient Red Dragon looked upon this world’s splendor, seeing everyone as if waiting for it, old heart greatly comforted.

Look, look!

This is what auspiciousness means!

This is true auspiciousness!

But just when it wanted to show off a bit, the two people above it inconveniently descended, everyone quieted down, watching as Emperor Qin stepped down from the dragon, while Xue Changqing, head clamped under Yue Qianfeng’s arm, felt like he returned to his boyhood.

Li Guanyi, holding Xue Shuangtao’s hand, under the gaze of officials and heroes.

Stepping down into the void, one step at a time.

Everywhere was silent, even the music paused, Li Guanyi’s gaze swept over everyone, Nan Hanwen wanted Emperor Qin to change into clothes that conformed to ritual, but Emperor Qin looked around with a laugh: "What I declare is ritual law."

"How can past lords’ ceremonies constrain people of today?"

He led the woman forward, loudly declaring: "Today Li Guanyi, using the rites of Black Jade and Blue Jade, sacrificial offerings, announces to heaven and earth—today I inherit the Heavenly Mandate to govern the universe, and tend to the people."

"Having chosen an auspicious day, a grand wedding shall be held."

"The sun and moon illuminate virtue, the vow to eternally strengthen the realm."

"The hearts of the people protect, forever extending the nation’s blessings."

Li Guanyi recited aloud these written by the Ministry of Rites officials, yet found it really dull, dull, his voice pausing slightly, his eyes sweeping over the familiar faces, friends, comrades in front, then looking at the girl who had been with him since the age of thirteen, childhood sweetheart, and smiled.

Is there still a need for these hollow embellishments?

He put these things aside, simply embraced Miss in his arms.

He exclaimed:

"Li Guanyi marries Xue Shuangtao today as his wife!"

"Everyone, drink!"

"See today, who can drink me under the table!"

Nan Hanwen raised his hand to cover his forehead, Yue Qianfeng grinned, Yue Pengwu smiled helplessly.

The Qilin Army soldiers felt as if they once again saw the youth outside Zhenbei Pass that day.

After a dead silence.

A thundering cheer erupted into the entire Heavenly Que, with lights blazing eternally.

Today is a day of auspicious time.

Good for now, triumph over the past forever.

Great fortune, great fortune!
