Chapter 186 Father, why has my consort been changed?
The prince was in high spirits, feeling that his arrangements would be flawless.
He then continued loudly, "The auspicious time has arrived. Cui Ming of the Ministry of Rites, you will preside over the ceremony."
Cui Ming, an elderly man, was all smiles as he immediately began making arrangements.
As he made his arrangements, music and rituals filled the hall.
Then, countless fireworks began to bloom in the west courtyard.
Following them was the wedding procession led by the groom, Ji Shanhe.
He rode a giant red-armored bull, with flames shooting from its nostrils; it was clearly a monster kept by the Ji family.
Its red scales make it look incredibly festive.
Ji Shanhe sat upright with a smile on his face, surrounded by a large wedding procession carrying auspicious totems of various shapes.
Some brightly colored birds followed in the air, carrying colorful cloths in their beaks.
He was smug and triumphant. At this moment, he was finally going to crush Ji Canghai in terms of status and women!
Moreover, in the future, he himself will be the prospective head of the Ji family, while Ji Canghai will merely be a henchman.
His grandfather was preparing to hand over all family affairs to him one by one.
The further he went, the more eager he became!
Thinking of Gu Qinghan, whom he had met a few days ago, he felt a strange stirring in his heart.
Born into a prestigious family, he had met many noble ladies, and even outstanding daughters of several major families.
But no woman has ever been as beautiful, dignified, refined, and elegant as she was.
A beautiful appearance is a dime a dozen, and among so many people in the world, there are quite a few whose looks can reach the pinnacle of womanhood.
Even many courtesans and wealthy young ladies possessed looks that were no less stunning than Gu Qinghan's.
What makes her stand out from the crowd is her aura!
It's the kind of aura that captivates you with just a slight glance!
Under this kind of aura, Shen Miao seemed to be at a disadvantage, Huang Juan was not worth mentioning, Liu Qian was ridiculous, and Ji Mingyue was just so-so.
With her spirit, energy, and mastery of a grandmaster, coupled with her status as a princess, Gu Qinghan is seen by most people as an unattainable fairy.
Ji Shanhe always felt awkward whenever he saw her, feeling unworthy of her and even a sense of desecration.
This is one of the reasons why he was willing to fight for her at all costs, even though she was already married!
Clearly, Gu Qinghan herself is insecure, but in most people's eyes, she is the most perfect woman.
The wedding procession slowly approached the main hall, and he waited with bated breath!
Ahead, the wedding procession from the East Campus slowly approached.
Gu Qinghan wore a thin red veil and a red wedding dress. Her perfectly proportioned figure made it clear, even without seeing her face, that she was an exceptional woman.
Cui San Niang led her hand and they walked slowly forward. Every step she took made the equally beautiful Cui San Niang and the maid beside her pale in comparison.
She lacks the allure of a courtesan, the shyness of a demure young lady, and the carefree nature of a spoiled rich girl.
At this moment, she was the star of the show!
Even though Ji Shanhe is handsome and extraordinary, his aura always makes people feel that he is trying to climb the social ladder.
She was composed, confident, dignified, and incredibly noble!
As I stepped forward, everyone looked at me again and again.
Until her clear voice rang out: "Your subject greets Father..."
The Crown Prince was overjoyed: "Qinghan has come to his senses?"
He was actually somewhat surprised, but he was naturally extremely satisfied with Gu Qinghan's demeanor.
My own daughter is even better than Gu Feixue was back then!
This made him save face.
"A marriage arranged by parents and matchmaker is something a poor family should naturally obey..."
Gu Qinghan's voice was also filled with joy, which made the Crown Prince laugh as well.
"Haha...Alright, alright, Shanhe, come here too..."
He waved, and Ji Shanhe on the other side immediately stepped forward.
His pace revealed just how impatient he was.
The thought of having such a perfect woman overwhelmed him with emotion.
"Your Highness..."
His tone was somewhat urgent, even trembling.
Gu Qinghan couldn't help but scoff.
In her eyes, Ji Shanhe was far inferior to Xu Tianyi.
It's even far inferior to Yueshan.
"Shanhe... still calls me Your Highness?"
Ji Shanhe tried his best to calm his nervous emotions. Looking at Gu Qinghan, he immediately said, "My son-in-law greets Father..."
The Crown Prince laughed heartily, then quickly stepped forward, grabbed Ji Shanhe's hand, and pulled him toward Gu Qinghan.
"Come on, come on, we're all family now, haha..."
After saying that, he tried to grab Gu Qinghan's hand so that the two could hold hands.
But Gu Qinghan took a step back.
"Father, are you sure my consort is this Young Master Ji?"
Her voice was full of teasing.
The crown prince was stunned.
Ji Shanhe's body stiffened.
The crowd below erupted in uproar.
"Huh? What happened? The groom has changed?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing. The princess probably just has some questions because she hasn't seen Young Master Ji before..."
"I see..."
"What nonsense! Are you all stupid? Didn't the princess have a consort before? He was supposedly the leader of the Valley God Sect!"
"What! The leader of the Valley God Sect? Isn't that an old man? Such a beautiful princess married an old man?"
"What old man! Xu Tianyi, the leader of the Valley God Sect, is very young. It is said that he is only twenty-one years old. He took over Leizhou in just half a year and even defeated the imperial army!"
"Your news came too late. Xu Tianyi is obviously a Grandmaster, a Grandmaster at the age of twenty-one! That's outrageous!"
"My goodness, a Grandmaster at twenty-one, and he even conquered Leizhou? No wonder the princess was somewhat reluctant to marry Ji Shanhe..."
"Hehe, how can Ji Shanhe compare to them? If you were a princess, you wouldn't want to marry them either!"
"Oh right, she first married a local lord, a grandmaster-level expert, and now? She's married to the spoiled brat of the Ji family. Sigh, who would want that..."
"Don't say that. I heard the Ji family is planning to make him the future patriarch, so he'll control a province too. Besides, Ji Shanhe is a mid-stage Grandmaster!"
"Brother, are you sure you're not a bastard? How many people are there in Yanzhou? Besides, he's the one who rules the whole state. How can this spoiled brat who inherited the family fortune compare to him?"
"That's right, that's right. If it were me, I would also choose Xu Tianyi. You know, the Valley God Sect sounds like an evil cult, but they used to sweep across half the country. Now there are still five or six counties under the Valley God Sect's control in Yanzhou!"
Moreover, it seems that Yue Shan of the Yue family has joined the Valley God Cult.
"My goodness, brother, according to you, the Crown Prince is trying to climb the social ladder?"
"That's right. I really don't know what the Crown Prince was thinking. If he had the help of Master Xu, wouldn't it have been easy for him to return to the Imperial City? Why did he have to break them up and even marry his daughter to a good-for-nothing playboy to win over the Ji family?"
To be honest, the Ji family only has their patriarch left. Once the patriarch dies, the Ji family's hope, Ji Canghai, has gone to join Master Xu!
Think about it, who will be in charge of Yanzhou then is still uncertain!
"Holy crap!! The Crown Prince is so stupid..."
"Shh, are you out of your mind...?"
"It's alright, the law doesn't punish everyone..."
