Chapter 946: There’s a child who looks so much like you!
This voice seemed to respond to Ye Xingguang, but the words showed complete disregard for the customs mentioned by Geshu Tang.
Ye Xingguang couldn’t help but laugh heartily, nodding emphatically, and didn’t forget to introduce you to the nobles: "Great Elder Bai Qiuhe, Second Elder Ying Shikang, Third Elder Geshu Tang, Fourth Elder Quan Ji, Fifth Elder Gui Daocheng, Sixth Elder Yen Ziang."
"Thank you, elders, for arranging the wedding for me and Xingguang." With a generous gesture, he shook hands with each of them.
When shaking hands with Third Elder, Geshu Tang, Ye Junqing’s eyes were deep: "I especially thank the Third Elder, but I heard when I just came in, according to tradition, we shouldn’t meet before the wedding. This custom will change from this moment on, right? As the saying goes, ’new king, new rules.’ Stubbornly clinging to old customs isn’t wise. Furthermore, from now on, all my bodyguards will enter the palace. It’s for my personal safety; after all, I’ve heard that the capital has become unsafe."
Geshu Tang: "Mr. Ye, you’ve brought quite a few bodyguards with you this time."
"No choice, the amount of people I bring isn’t enough to withstand a torpedo blast; I surely don’t want to lose my life here. I believe the elders can understand my cowardice, can’t you?"
In the tone of someone afraid to die, Ye Junqing nearly made Ye Xingguang die of laughter.
"It might be difficult to make room for so many bodyguards in the palace."
That was clearly a refusal.
"That’s why I’d like to discuss with the elders, perhaps all the palace guards should be dismissed. After all, guests should be treated hospitably, and be provided a place to sleep. Can we move them outside the palace to guard the walls? You see, my people can’t breathe underwater, so they can only stay in the dry palace to protect me."
